Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 718

Tang Chuyu’s niece is Fengnu!

As they combed through the information, an even more terrifying incident came to light.

The man that Fengnu married, the young master of Youzhou Luo family... wouldn't that be a rebellion?

He who gets the Phoenix Girl gets the world.

In this world, who can escape the temptation of power?

Emperor Mingde had no idea what the veteran ministers were roaring about in their hearts. He first dismissed a large number of palace maids from the harem, and then dismissed the palace maids guarding the mausoleum.

Next came the concubines who had never slept with the emperor. Many women had been in the palace for more than ten years and had never seen Emperor Mingde.

The Ministry of Rites was extremely busy making proper arrangements and compensation for all those who were dismissed from the palace.

While people in the harem were in panic, some were secretly happy.

Finally, I can leave the palace and see the light of day.

Our emperor is wise! Long live our emperor!

In the house on Fushuang Road, several women were talking about reducing the number of people in the harem.

Today, Tang Chujun invited her besties to come over for a gathering, which was also a farewell party for Xiao Changle's mother, Wang.

A group of women were eating melon seeds and chatting about melons. Whether they were talking or listening, their eyes were sparkling.

Together with their maids, the small hall was packed with people.

It's raining heavily outside.

The one who spoke at this time was Zheng Qiaoer.

She was considered to be the one with the highest status and the widest information in this circle. "I heard that this time, not only the palace maids were dismissed, but also the concubines. The number of people was as high as several hundred."

The one in green is General Xie's wife. "I don't know why so many people were suddenly dismissed?"

"I heard..." Zhao Liren's wife was very mysterious, "There are three reasons."

Yu Sujun became interested, "What are the three reasons?"

Wang came to the party for the last time today, and her temperament was much more cheerful than usual. "I guess one of the reasons is that you are short of money."

Tang Chujun added, "It seems that the emperor has a difficult life. He has a large family and a large business, but he also has many people to support, which costs a lot of money."

She understood this matter. Just look at the pile of things in Shi Chengxuan's backyard, which is really costly, not to mention the large harem of Emperor Mingde.

Madam Zhao nodded, "You are right. Our emperor wants to save money to build bridges, roads and relocate cities. Also, the border soldiers have a hard life. In winter, some of them even share one set of cotton-padded clothes. The emperor said that we should start with him and save money. Now we are rushing to make winter clothes for the soldiers so that everyone can wear warm clothes and have enough food, so that they can have the strength to defend their country."

Mrs. Xie was deeply touched. "You don't know how hard it is for border guards. There are ice and snow in winter and scorching heat in summer. The cold can freeze people to death, and the heat can kill people. Alas! There is a defense line with steep terrain and difficult roads. People call it 'Potianguan'. Going back and forth there depends on ropes."

Everyone sighed and lamented.

"The second reason," said Madam Zhao, "is that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that the imperial city has a lot of Yin energy. They said that there are too many women gathered together, causing the Yin energy to accumulate. So some of them need to be dismissed."

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

As for this kind of thing, if you believe it, it exists; if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist.

Emperor Mingde chose to believe it, which meant he wanted to dismiss the troops. If he didn't want to dismiss them, he would naturally not believe it.

Tang Chujun thought that perhaps the Imperial Observatory's statement was arranged by Emperor Mingde.

She didn't know why she thought so, but she felt that Emperor Mingde, who "didn't eat" that day, was smart and considerate, and solved a huge problem with just a few words.

Such a person would not be easily influenced by such words. There was only one possibility, that this was the result he wanted, and he had arranged it with the Imperial Observatory.

As she was speaking, Madam Zhao said in a low voice, "I heard that the emperor has a hidden illness. This is the third reason for dismissing the harem."

"Hidden illness?" Yu Sujun frowned.

Tang Chujun had just met Emperor Mingde not long ago, so he naturally remembered how energetic he was. How could he look like someone with a hidden illness?
