Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen was practicing the Son of Heaven's Conferring God Technique, and the aura on his body seemed to be erratic.

After a few weeks, everything calmed down.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, a look of disappointment flashed across his face.

After this period of hard work, Zhou Chen's martial arts strength has reached the fourth rank, and he is only one step away from breaking through the third rank, stepping into the ranks of master masters.

Zhou Chen originally thought that he could break through the fourth rank today and step into the realm of the third rank master.

Unexpectedly, it still failed in the end, stuck at the point of half-step master.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy to break through the realm of the upper third grade of refining gods."

Zhou Chen couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Before, Zhou Chen's breakthrough from the ninth rank to the fourth rank was unimpeded and smooth.

Basically no bottlenecks have been encountered.

However, Zhou Chen has been stuck in the current third-rank master realm for several days, and he has been unable to break through for a long time.

It can be seen that this upper third-rank god refining realm is really a gate card, which is fundamentally different from middle third-rank Qi training and lower third-rank body training.

Zhou Chen thought secretly.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun walked in quietly.

"emperor."

"The Empress Dowager just sent someone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask if the Emperor is free today."

"If the Empress Dowager asks the Emperor to have time, she will go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The Empress Dowager said that she has something to discuss with the Emperor."

Cao Zhengchun said in a report.

"oh!"

"Yeah?"

Zhou Chen frowned upon hearing this.

"The person who came said did not say,

What is the reason why the Empress Dowager wants to discuss with me? "

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun and asked

"No." Cao Zhengchun shook his head.

Zhou Chen pondered for a while, then nodded; "It's time to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to visit the Queen Mother."

As the emperor, Zhou Chen has a lot of things to do, especially these days, he has no spare time.

Therefore, since leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace last time, Zhou Chen has not visited the Empress Dowager in the Compassionate Ning Palace during this period of time.

"Cao Zhengchun, drive to the Palace of Compassion and Ning."

After speaking, Zhou Chen stood up and walked outside.

...

Compassion Palace.

The queen mother learned that the emperor was free and would come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning immediately, so she stood outside the palace and waited happily.

"Kowtow to the emperor."

After Zhou Chen walked into the Compassionate Ning Palace, all the maids and eunuchs in the Compassionate Ning Palace knelt down to salute.

Zhou Chen saw the queen mother waiting outside the hall at a glance, and hurriedly walked towards the queen mother.

"The son has seen the queen mother."

"Why is the queen mother standing outside the palace waiting for me?"

Zhou Chen walked up to the Empress Dowager and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

Even if Zhou Chen is the emperor, this humble etiquette can't be messed up, he has to salute to the queen mother.

When the queen mother saw Zhou Chen, she also took a few steps forward with a smile on her face; "Doesn't the Ai family want to see the emperor sooner?"

"The emperor hasn't visited Ai's family for some time."

As the queen mother said, she took Zhou Chen's hand affectionately and walked into the hall.

In the absence of outsiders, the Queen Mother also behaved much more casually towards Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen has no objection to this.

In the whole world, anyone who sees the emperor is terrified and panicked.

Facing the emperor, most of them are afraid.

The empress dowager in front of me is probably the only one who can be so cordial and casual with the emperor.

"What the queen mother said is that too many things happened these days, and I was negligent."

"I didn't come to see my mother in time, I hope my mother can understand."

Zhou Chen said with a smile, and followed the Queen Mother into the Cining Palace.

"Why."

"Where does the emperor say, Aijia knows what happened these days."

"The emperor has worked hard these days."

"Aijia heard that the emperor handles government affairs very late every day."

"Your Majesty, although important court affairs are important, you must also pay attention to your health."

The queen mother sighed, took Zhou Chen's hand and said with some distress.

How could the Empress Dowager not know what happened these days!

Whether it was ransacking the family and annihilating the Great General's Mansion, cleaning up the power of Wuying's party, suppressing the rebellion in the four northern states, exterminating the rebels in the four states, or ordering the decree to exterminate the nine clans of the Cui family in Boling.

All these piles, one thing after another, which one is a trivial matter.

Almost all dancing on the tip of the knife.

If you are not careful, you will be hurt to pieces.

Even the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, few people can achieve this step.

But the young emperor Zhou Chen did it, and he did it very well.

This made the queen mother both gratified and distressed.

It's hard for the Queen Mother to imagine that this emperor, who has always been regarded as indecisive and somewhat mediocre by everyone, would have to pay for such schemes and hardships if he wanted to do this.

"Don't worry, queen mother, I know it well."

Zhou Chen smiled lightly and walked into the Cining Palace with the Empress Dowager, and sat down facing each other.

Facing the Queen Mother's concern, Zhou Chen readily accepted it.

Emperors are lonely.

Zhou Chen is no exception.

Being able to receive a piece of care is probably something that every lonely emperor cherishes very much.

After the queen mother sat down, she looked at Zhou Chen and said, "It's good that the emperor knows what's going on in his heart, and I don't understand the affairs of the court."

"But the Ai family knows that everything is too much, if the water is clear, there will be no fish."

"A real master of ZTE does not refer to how many loyal ministers and good generals he can control, but how many treacherous ministers he can control."

The queen mother said to Zhou Chenpo with some teaching charm.

The queen mother's words made Zhou Chen's eyes flash a strange color.

Zhou Chen knew that the queen mother had never told him this.

This is the first time ever.

"I understand what the queen mother said."

"I will remember."

Zhou Chen nodded, and was very willing to listen to what the Queen Mother said, which was regarded as the art of the emperor.

Although Zhou Chen didn't know why the Queen Mother would suddenly teach him this.

But Zhou Chen knew that what the queen mother said was not wrong.

Everything has a degree, too much is too much.

As the saying goes, this is the truth that things must be reversed when they are extreme.

If the water is too clear, fish cannot be raised. For an emperor, there is no distinction between good and evil, only good or bad for the imperial power.

If it is beneficial to the imperial power, then black and evil people are also available.

Seeing that Zhou Chen listened in, the Queen Mother didn't say anything more, and changed the subject; "The Ai family doesn't understand the affairs in the court, but the Ai family still knows about the harem."

"Your majesty, you are the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the lord of the world, and the continuation of your heirs is very important to the royal family."

"There is no one in the harem now, and the emperor has no heirs so far. This is a big problem for both the royal family and the court."

"Should the emperor consider drafting concubines, enriching the harem, and continuing the heirs?"

The queen mother looked at Zhou Chen seriously and said.

This is exactly what the Queen Mother wanted to discuss with Zhou Chen today.

As Zhou Chen is the emperor of the Great Zhou, the enrichment of Zhou Chen's harem and the continuation of his heirs are particularly important to the Great Zhou.

Whether it is for the royal family or the imperial court, it plays a vital role.

Only when the harem is stable and enriched, and there are descendants to continue, can people's hearts be stabilized, and the court and the world can be stabilized.

But now, ever since Empress Wu Ying was executed outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhou Chen, the emperor, has no one in his harem, let alone his heirs.

This is not a long-term solution.

Before Zhou Chen was fascinated by the Empress Wu Ying, the Empress Dowager could not persuade him about it.

But now, Zhou Chen, the emperor, has changed a lot from before, and the empress Wu Ying was also executed.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to bring up the old matter again and discuss with Zhou Chen to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Na Fei?

Enrich the harem?

Hearing what the queen mother said, Zhou Chen was obviously taken aback.

Zhou Chen originally thought that the Empress Dowager sent someone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, asking him, the emperor, to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to discuss something important with him!

But he didn't expect that it was for accepting concubines and enriching the harem.

"Mother, let's take this matter for a while!"

"The grand master just died in battle in the four prefectures of the northwest, how much blood of my Great Zhou Shenwu Wei Erlang was spilled in the four northern states."

"Coupled with the severe drought in the four northern states, the chaos has just settled down."

"If I accept the concubine at this time, I will be considered by the people of the world as a foolish king."

"Besides, the situation has not stabilized yet, and I don't have the heart to worry about the love between my children."

Zhou Chen shook his head and rejected the queen mother's intention.

Zhou Chen knew that the Queen Mother was right.

As an emperor, he has no one in the harem and no heirs, which is really unreasonable.

It can be said that this is a big problem.

To the royal family, to the imperial court and the whole world, people cannot be at ease.

But now, Zhou Chen didn't have the heart to think about it.

Gentle township, hero crown.

How many emperors were buried in Wenrou Township, Zhou Chen knew this better than anyone else.

Therefore, Zhou Chen didn't want to be one of them.

Zhou Chen's current thoughts are all on the court and the world of Dazhou thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Wait until the old mountains and rivers are cleaned up.

It's not too late to think about Ruanxiang.

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the Queen Mother frowned, and wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, the Queen Mother swallowed it back.

"Since the emperor wants to slow down, let's slow down this matter first."

"The grand master just died in battle, and so many things have happened recently, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to draft a concubine."

"However, you can't draft into the palace wantonly, but you can't have someone around the emperor to serve you!"

"Aijia thinks it's better to pick a few ladies from famous families to enter the palace first, so as to serve the emperor, what does the emperor think!"

The queen mother nodded and said, looking at Zhou Chen.

Regarding the reasons Zhou Chen said, the queen mother also felt that there was some truth in it, so it was hard to insist on her own ideas.

After all, the grand master had just died in battle, and the army of Shenwuwei had also suffered a lot of losses. In addition to the severe drought in the four northern states, the rebels had just been put down.

If at this time, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to hear that the emperor drafted a draft to enrich the harem.

This is very bad for Zhou Chen, the emperor's reputation.

However, this can't be drafted into the palace, but it doesn't mean that you can't choose a few ladies to enter the palace first!

Zhou Chen shook his head; "Queen, Wu Ying's incident has just passed, and I have some lingering fears in my heart!"

"Lady from a famous family, I am worried that there will be a second Wu Ying and a great general!"

How could the queen mother not hear what Zhou Chen meant!

The queen mother looked helplessly at Zhou Chen, it seemed that the emperor was determined not to draft into the palace for the time being.

"Why."

"Originally, the Ai family wanted to enrich the emperor's harem as soon as possible, so that the Ai family could embrace the emperor's grandson!"

"It also makes this palace more popular."

"But now it seems that it is temporarily impossible."

The queen mother said with a faint sigh.

When Zhou Chen heard the words, a light flashed in his eyes, he looked at the queen mother and smiled slightly; "It's not easy for the queen mother to hug the emperor's grandson, and the ninth brother's family hasn't returned to Luoyang for a long time."

"Before, because of the turmoil in the court, I was afraid that the ninth younger brother would be involved when he came back."

"Now the situation in the court has stabilized a lot, and I will decree the ninth brother to return to Luoyang for the New Year later."

Zhou Chen said.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, the Queen Mother immediately nodded with joy on her face; "The Ai family really wants to treat his son, and I don't know how he is in the fiefdom."

The Queen Mother looked melancholy.

Zhou Chen saw it in his eyes, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Queen Mother! The ninth brother's fief is the Kingdom of Tianfu, and the ninth brother will not suffer."

"Since the mother misses the ninth brother, I will ask the ninth brother to stay a little longer when he comes back this time."

After Zhou Chen and the Queen Mother chatted for a while, Zhou Chen got up and left the Compassionate Ning Palace.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhou Chen directly issued an order to return to Luoyang to King Zhou Zhi of Shu.

...

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo sat in the main seat, looked at the butler below, and said in a concentrated voice; "How is it? Have you found out the details of the Boling Cui family being wiped out by Lu Bu?"

"My lord, I found out everything."

"This is the specific situation of Lu Bu leading the Shenwuwei to destroy the Boling Cui family."

"Master, please take a look."

As the butler said, he handed a letter of news to Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo took the letter from the housekeeper, opened it and read it without further ado.

There are many words on the letter, recording most of the details of the Boling Cui family's extermination of the nine clans.

After Prime Minister Yuan Bo read the contents of the letter, he felt much more relaxed.

You know, ever since receiving the news that Lu Bu led the Shenwuwei army to kill the Cui family in Boling, Prime Minister Yuan Bo has always been under a heavy pressure.

I'm afraid that before the Boling Cui family was wiped out by Lu Bu, they said something that shouldn't be said, or that Lu Bu pried their mouths open and involved them.

If that was the case, then their family would be in serious trouble, and they might have to follow in the footsteps of the Bolingcui family.

Fortunately, this worry is gone now.

The Cui family of Boling didn't say anything, and Lu Bu got nothing.

It's all over at Bo Ling Cui's house.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo put down the letter in his hand, and said to the housekeeper in front of him, "Go to the House of Minister of the Household Department and the House of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, they are probably still waiting for news."

Now the hawks and dogs in the East Factory are watching very closely, Prime Minister Yuan Bo can only ask the housekeeper to go there in person, and dare not let the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet again.

"Yes, sir."

The butler left in response.

After the steward left, Prime Minister Yuan Bo murmured to himself; "This is a momentary relief, but these matters are only coming to an end for now, and we have to find a way to deal with them."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo knew that although the Cui family in Boling was wiped out by Lu Bu, they were not involved.

But the one in the palace won't just let it go. The wealthy families in the four northern states are the best example.
