After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

The smallpox incident caused panic among the people of Shengjing. Fortunately, Qi Mingze's plan quickly, accurately and ruthlessly nipped the conspiracy in the bud.

Not only did they capture the mastermind behind this plot, but they also found a solution to smallpox, a medical problem that had plagued people for thousands of years.

The practice of smallpox vaccination also spread from the imperial palace, with the emperor taking the lead and being the first person to be vaccinated in public.

The ministers did this either to save their own lives or to protect the peacock feathers on their heads.

No matter how reluctant or hesitant they were, they had to follow suit and get vaccinated.

As a result, smallpox actually stopped in the Eastern Palace and no one was infected again.

With Your Majesty and the court officials setting an example, the smallpox vaccination was carried out exceptionally smoothly among the people.

For a time, Emperor Qiwei's prestige among the people of Xialin reached its peak.

However, these dirty politicians with cunning minds and a lot of tricks in their bodies like to make trouble when there is no threat to their lives.

On a beautiful and sunny morning, the ministers who believed that the prince was in great danger began to make their plans again.

Minister of Personnel Wen Shiji gave a wink to someone from his faction.

Immediately, a white-haired but energetic imperial censor walked out slowly and made an earnest request.

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is in imminent danger, and Your Majesty has to consider the well-being of the Xialin Kingdom.

Moreover, the harem cannot be without a master for a day, so I implore Your Majesty to hold the selection as soon as possible.

To add heirs to the royal family and ensure long-term peace and stability for the country."

Seeing someone take the lead, those ministers who had daughters of marriageable age in their families and were ambitious all spoke up in agreement.

"Your Majesty, please select concubines to fill your harem and prolong your lineage."

"The crown prince is the foundation of national stability. Your Majesty, please give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

"..."

Jun Linyuan was originally listening to his subordinates bickering with a dull interest, thinking about how to coax Xiao Che out to meet him today to ease his homesickness.

Who knew these people would cause him such a big disturbance while his wife was still worrying about the safety of her little nephew.

They dared to set their sights on him? This wasn't some talent show; it was simply a large-scale forced marriage.

Don't think he doesn't know that all of them have girls of marriageable age at home. The abacus beads are all falling on his face.

He finally managed to trick Xiao Che. Well, when he and Xiao Che expressed their feelings to each other, their relationship was heating up and becoming close.

They actually did this to him. Was it to harm him or to destroy him?

If he didn't want to leave Xiao Che with the impression that he didn't respect women, he would have sent a bunch of beauties to these people so that they could also taste the feeling of having their wives and children broken up and having no peace at home.

But without using this method, he can still give these people a good beating.

He changed his expressionless look and looked at the people who were speaking righteously in the audience with a half-smile.

Some people who were smart were shocked when they saw this. They thought His Majesty was angry.

That's right, for some reason, His Majesty has been in a very good mood in the past few months. Not only does he rarely get angry or scold others, but his methods of governing his subordinates have also become much gentler.

So much so that everyone has forgotten that although His Majesty is not a tyrant, he is not someone who can tolerate being shackled by others.

"Since you are so worried about the royal heir, I happen to have something that I need your help with.

I was worried about Mulan's marriage with the Southern Barbarians during the Autumn Hunt, but several royal princesses all had their lovers.

Since you all proposed a selection, why not choose a suitable noblewoman for the Nanman Emperor to marry? I will definitely treat her as a princess."

By diverting the conflict and removing the firewood from under the cauldron, Jun Linyuan finally learned a lot after spending two months with Qi Mingze, and his mind was no longer filled with dirty nonsense all the time.

"Your Majesty, you cannot."

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"..."

Everyone knelt down and tried to dissuade him in unison.

There is no comparison between the two. Your Majesty is young, handsome, dignified, and self-disciplined. There has never been anyone in the harem.

If a daughter of the family enters the palace and gives birth to a son or daughter, she will have a chance to reach the top.

But the Southern Barbarian Emperor was already 50 years old, and he had three palaces and six courtyards and many princes.

If my beautiful sister/daughter/granddaughter marries him, wouldn’t she be a widow forever?

The most important thing is that those concubines who have no power are likely to become victims of power and be buried alive with the Southern Barbarian Emperor.

They wanted to arrange a marriage, but they didn't want their daughter, whom they had worked so hard to raise, to suffer harm.

Do you really think that it is so easy to cultivate a noble lady from a wealthy family? Her appearance, demeanor and cultivation are all built up with real money.

"Why, the royal princess can marry, but your daughter can't?"

Jun Linyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, examining those anxious people.

"I am frightened!"

The ministers felt a chill down their spines and broke out in cold sweats when they were stared at. They could not help but drop their bodies and crawl on the ground.

"In that case, there's no need for a talent show."

Jun Linyuan had no intention of letting an innocent woman bear the faults of these ministers, so he finally gave in.

But before everyone could recover from the shock, a bolt of thunder struck them again.

"Remember, the Crown Prince is my only heir, there will be no other heirs.

Only if the prince is safe and sound, Xia Lin will have a crown prince.

Instead of harboring so many ulterior motives, you should pray to God to keep the prince safe and sound.

Perhaps in more than ten years, your daughter will have a chance to enter the harem."

Jun Linyuan treated this little nephew sincerely. These words not only warned those ministers with impure intentions, but also highlighted the status of the prince in his heart.

The core idea is that there will be no benefit if you touch the prince, so don't risk the Nine Clans Candy Crush Saga by targeting the prince.

The risks are not proportional to the benefits, and no one in their right mind would do such a useless thing.

Furthermore, he was also forced to express his sincerity to Xiao Che.

He is a good old man who keeps himself clean and adheres to male ethics. His impression points will increase when he is exposed in the future.

Kill two birds with one stone. Later he will hint to some people to speak in his favor so that there will be fewer twists and turns later.
