Currently,
All rebellions have been quelled, and the policies implemented by Emperor Xin have brought about rapid changes to the Shang Dynasty.
In the years since the king ascended the throne, the ministers have repeatedly urged Di Xin to establish a queen, but Di Xin has repeatedly postponed it. Now, the time has indeed come.
at this time,
Imperial Palace
As soon as that voice fell, Wen Zhong was the first to echo, "Your Majesty, it is indeed time to establish a Queen!"
Upon seeing that Grand Tutor Wen had spoken in this manner, the assembled officials all echoed his sentiments.
"Your Majesty, I believe that a selection of concubines should be conducted, and all the beauties in the land should be gathered to fill the harem!"
"Your Majesty, I second that proposal!"
"Your Majesty, this is the foundation of the nation; you must not refuse it as you have before!"
At this time, without exception, all the ministers offered their advice and discussed the matter among themselves.
The court instantly became lively. This time, the king had to appoint a queen, select concubines, and enrich the harem.
If the king doesn't choose a concubine soon, they'll all start to wonder if their king doesn't like women and has some... unusual fetish!
Di Xin: ? ? ?
What nonsense are you spouting?! Slander, this is blatant slander! I, the ruler, am perfectly normal!
"Your Majesty, I believe that General Huang Feihu's sister is virtuous and talented, and should be brought into the harem!"
"Your Majesty..."
"..."
These guys were all talking at once, and Di Xin felt like he had a splitting headache. This wasn't the imperial court anymore; it had turned into a marketplace!
"Your Majesty! In this campaign to quell the rebellion, Marquis Su Hu of Jizhou has made a great contribution. Su Hu's daughter is a beauty of unparalleled grace and virtue. When the meritorious officials came to pay their respects, I took the liberty of speaking to the Marquis of Jizhou about this matter. The Marquis of Jizhou will be bringing his daughter, Su Daji, to pay their respects. Your Majesty can see her then."
The moment the words left his mouth, Di Xin immediately perked up. Unbeknownst to the assembled officials, Di Xin's hand trembled slightly. "You said...who? Whose daughter?"
Seeing that the king was somewhat excited, the minister thought that the king must know how beautiful Su Daji was, and now he was really going to rise to prominence! Hehe!
"Your Majesty, it is Su Daji, daughter of Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou!" the minister announced loudly.
Di Xin: ⊙﹏⊙!
Holy crap!
Senior Sister Su! This bastard actually wants to add Senior Sister Su to his harem?!
This...this bastard is trying to harm me!
"You...you just said that you have sent a letter to the Marquis of Jizhou? The Marquis of Jizhou is already aware of this?" Di Xin asked again.
Seeing the king's eagerness, the minister became even more pleased with himself, thinking that he knew how to handle things and that the king would surely reward him.
The remaining officials: ?!
Good heavens, that bastard managed to copy it!
Sure!
The minister replied smugly, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Di Xin: "..."
grass!
It’s over!
Isn't this useless?!
Wouldn't he get a beating from Senior Sister Su?! A beating would be the least of his worries!
Seeing the ministers' smug faces, Emperor Xin was furious. He slammed his fist on the table, startling the assembled officials and silencing the court instantly. "You worthless wretch! Who gave you the right to act on your own?! Guards, take him away and throw him into the imperial prison to await further punishment!"
The minister was taken aback: ? ? ?
What! ?
Is this... how the script was supposed to go? Shouldn't it have been a promotion and a title? How did it turn into being thrown into prison?
this……!
The courtiers were all dumbfounded: ⊙﹏⊙!
This turn of events was truly sudden. I thought this bastard had gotten away with it this time, but I never expected him to be thrown into prison!
Good heavens!
The minister, regaining his senses, protested, "Your Majesty, you...you...what have I done wrong!?"
Di Xin's face darkened.
What's wrong with that?!
How dare you ask that?!
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and drag him away!" Di Xin shouted.
immediately,
The guards dragged the minister away, who kept crying out that he was wronged and full of resentment, almost cursing the emperor as a tyrant!
At this point, Emperor Xin had no interest in attending court and left immediately.
He needs to come up with a plan now, otherwise... he's definitely going to get a beating!
What to do?!
Sincerity is the only sure way to win. There's no need for all that nonsense. You can't fool Senior Sister Su. If you admit your mistake sincerely, give her another beating, and that'll be the end of it!
well!
This is the only way!
...
at the same time,
In an inn not far from Chaoge,
After hearing her father's words, Su Daji's expression turned somewhat amused.
"Father, are you saying that the King personally issued an order to take me into the harem?"
Su Hu nodded slightly. "Yes, daughter, if you are unwilling, then explain to the King that the current King is a wise and capable ruler, a sage unlike any other in history, and that I have rendered great service. The King will still grant you this much face."
After saying that,
Su Daji's lips curled into a smile. Little Di Xin! Fine! You've set your sights on me now?
However, there must be some misunderstanding here; Little Di Xin didn't have that kind of guts.
"Father, you don't need to worry about this. When I meet the King, I will tell him to take me into the harem. I want to see if he has the guts!" Su Daji replied.
Su Hu: ! ? ?
“Don’t talk nonsense. The current king has taken back the Kongtong Seal and even destroyed the Human Sect. His cultivation is unfathomable. The Great Shang Dynasty is prosperous and protected by the Great Dao. If the Human Emperor is angry, millions will die. Since you are unwilling, I will talk to the king about this matter myself. Don’t do anything rash.”
The current Shang Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. If the King is angered, the Su family will face annihilation.
In fact, Su Hu was not opposed to the king taking his daughter into the harem. After all, the king was a man of great talent and ambition, and the Shang Dynasty would surely prosper in the future. There was nothing wrong with his daughter following the king.
