"You're not going to answer me?"
On the way back, Yi Mu grabbed Bei Menlin, demanding an answer.
Bei Men Lina hugged him easily, her voice languid: "I thought you understood."
Yimu struggled to get down from his arms.
"Just tell me, yes or no."
Bei Menlin replied quickly: "No."
Alright, Yimu is satisfied.
A smile returned to his face, putting Bei Menlin at ease.
"I won't pursue the matter between you and Ye Yunxiang."
He stepped forward and helped Beimen Lin adjust the jade clasp at his waist.
"Let's make a deal."
Bei Menlin lowered his head, looking at the lighter-colored hair on the top of his head compared to others, and casually asked, "What?"
“I will dismiss the concubines in the harem, and you will dismiss the concubines in the Prince’s mansion. The Empress will have to stay to appease the Prime Minister, but I will absolutely not have anything happen between me and her.”
Looking at his raised hand, so earnest as if about to swear an oath, Bei Menlin's usually cold and hard heart suddenly softened.
The concubines in his household were all sent by various forces to win him over.
Bei Menlin found it troublesome and never touched those women.
He could easily send away his concubines, but could he so easily dismiss the imperial concubines in the palace?
There's nothing Yi Mu can't do if he sets his mind to it.
When the court officials heard about his absurd behavior, they spoke out passionately in the court, saying that he was too unorthodox.
The concubines in the imperial palace, whether married to control officials in the court or to ensure the continuation of the royal family, all played an indispensable role.
Yi Mu's sudden action caught everyone off guard.
They were all going to be sent out of the palace anyway; it was only a matter of time.
Faced with the ministers' strong reactions, Yi Mu had his own set of arguments that were impossible to refute.
"I am deeply aware that I have accomplished nothing in the three years since I ascended the throne, indulging in pleasure all day long, which is extremely absurd. Not long ago, I fell seriously ill. During my illness, I seemed to feel the late emperor's heartbroken teachings in my dream. I am determined to correct my past mistakes and become a benevolent ruler."
If a tyrannical ruler wants to change for the better, what else is there to say?
The prime minister had nothing to say.
Anyway, his granddaughter is still in the palace, and the most threatening concubine has been dealt with for some unknown reason.
Now, the Empress is the only one in the harem, enjoying unparalleled favor.
Not long after the emperor dismissed the concubines, it was heard that the regent had also dismissed his concubines.
This is really serious.
These actions by the two important figures did not seem like a whim; they were clearly being done for the benefit of their ministers.
Sufeng has always been known for its open-mindedness, with ordinary families having one wife and one concubine, let alone powerful and influential officials in the imperial court.
In some officials' households, favoring concubines over wives is a complete reversal of common sense.
In the past two years alone, dozens of wives have divorced their husbands, and the atmosphere in Sufeng is very unhealthy.
The Emperor and the Regent set an example, so how could the ministers turn a blind eye?
In a short time, the concubines who had caused so much trouble in the household were either divorced or sold off.
When the lady of a wealthy family heard that it was the master in the palace who had started it, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards the emperor, and her life became peaceful.
Unbeknownst to him, Yi Mu gained a wave of female fans.
But he had no time to think about the ministers' family affairs at the moment. When he returned that day, Fuxi told him that the Grand Preceptor was about to return.
The Imperial Preceptor of Sufeng has existed since the founding of the nation by the Holy Ancestor.
Each new Imperial Preceptor is a direct disciple of the previous Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor is not allowed to start a family or establish a career; he must dedicate his entire life to Su Feng until his death.
When the original owner registered, the young Hou Fang also followed in his master's footsteps and became the Grand Preceptor and High Priest of Su Feng.
This priest is the most famous and most gifted in the history of Sufeng.
He also had an exceptionally good relationship with the original owner of the body.
