System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

As for the issue of Crown Prince Liu Ying, it was more of a game between the monarch and his ministers, as well as a purge of the old ministers of the Han Dynasty.

If Liu Ying wants to secure his position as crown prince, some people must die.

A new emperor has new ministers. How could the ministers of the Han Dynasty have a foothold in the court of Daqian?

As a top politician in the late Han Dynasty, Xun Yu was the first to set an example.

He traveled around with his wife, and when he returned, he was a commoner, with the symbols of the Han Dynasty shed.

But the other ministers of the Han Dynasty did not have the political vision to discover this hidden information.

It was not until the incident broke out that Cai Yong realized this and reminded Yang Biao not to continue clinging to Xiang Yu's thigh, and to quickly return to his hometown to become a rich man. If he didn't run away now, he would never be able to escape.

"Your Majesty, these are some evidences from the old ministers of the Han Dynasty."

Shi A watched as the thick pile of evidence was placed on the Long case.

"What are you doing for me?"

"According to the law, those whose houses are confiscated will have their houses confiscated, and those whose families are exterminated will have their families exterminated."

"Remember, before beheading, gather more people and read out their crimes in front of everyone."

Dong Yu didn't even look at the evidence.

Among the officials of the Han Dynasty, few had clean records, not to mention that when the superiors employed people, how could they not leave any evidence behind?

"Sir, obey the order!"

Shi A was startled and quickly picked up the evidence and left.

He knew that in the next few days, there would probably be rivers of blood.

Following Dong Yu for many years, Shi A's political acumen has gradually improved.

It is obvious that the establishment of a new country requires such a bloodbath.

This will let the people know that the court will not tolerate any criminals.

Only in this way can Daqian’s people-oriented political signal be highlighted.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Ying Shao walked into the imperial study with his usual expression.

The undercurrents during this period did not make Ying Shao feel any sense of crisis.

Or rather, these are not important to him.

He surrendered too early and served as an official in Luoyang early on, but he was not a member of the Han Dynasty.

"Ying Gong has served as an official for many years and has made great contributions to restoring the people's livelihood in Luoyang."

"Although I appreciate Mr. Ying's advanced age, I still have one thing I would like to entrust to you."

Dong Yu looked at Ying Shao and didn't expect that the other party had become so old.

Thinking back to when Cao Song was killed, Ying Shao, fearing that he would be implicated, came to surrender with his troops.

He was already very old then, and now he is gray-haired, but he still looks very strong.

"Your Majesty, I have received your grace in the past, and I shall repay you with all my heart and soul."

"Your Majesty, if you have any orders, I will do whatever I want."

Ying Shao bowed and was moved to tears by the name of Ying Gong.

"I need paper."

"Paper needs to be made widely available. This is an improved method of papermaking."

"For so many years, I have been suppressing it and not using it, just to ensure that Daqian has a good start at the beginning of its founding."

"I hope you can serve as the chief craftsman and produce the first batch of paper for me."

Dong Yu handed the papermaking technique to Ying Shao and said.

"Isn't this... the method for making Cai Hou paper?"

Ying Shao asked in surprise, holding the papermaking technique.

“No, it’s been improved.”

Dong Yu shook his head and explained.

"I, your Majesty, am willing to serve you, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

Ying Shao bowed.

He knew the implications. If the papermaking method was better than Cai Hou paper, it would play a vital role in the development of culture.

Only after Ying Shao left did Dong Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

"No wonder they call him the dog emperor, the dog emperor."

"Once you become emperor, you have to behave in a more humble way."

“Not cool enough.”

Dong Yu leaned on the dragon throne, feeling extremely tired during this period of time.

After being emperor for a few days, he finally understood why it was difficult to be an emperor.

Many things are interconnected, and when you sit in this position, you are already alone.

Your interests are your interests, and the people below are a community of interests.

Therefore, when Dong Zhuo said, "You are becoming more and more like an emperor," he was not praising his son, but scolding him.

"Your Majesty."

"The girls I mentioned last time have been sent to the imperial palace."

At this time, Dian Wei walked in from outside the imperial study and reminded Dong Yu.

"Last time?"

Dong Yu was a little confused.

"It's those Jiangdong women."

"What kind of politics is Guo Fengxiao talking about... I don't understand either. Anyway, he reminded Your Majesty not to be tired."

Dian Wei touched the helmet on his head and began to explain.

"oops."

"I'm so annoyed. The position of concubine in the harem has not been decided yet."

As soon as Classic Wei mentioned it, Dong Yu immediately got a headache.

The previous matters have been completed, and the issues concerning the harem also need to be finalized.

The position of queen cannot be established. Once it is established, Dong Ying's position will become embarrassing.

He decided to follow the example of the First Emperor and not have a queen.

Perhaps later historical books will ignore the issue of his large number of concubines in the harem and give him a reputation as a man who is not interested in women.

"Your Majesty, matters concerning the harem are yours to decide. Whoever Your Majesty likes will be given a high position."

Dian Wei said with a smile.

"I like them all, and I will make them all queens."

"Go away, all you know is to make sarcastic remarks."

Dong Yu said unhappily.

The position of concubines in the harem has always been closely related to their status.

This status includes the strength of the concubine's family and the issues of the princes and princesses.

It really depends on your preference.

The most favored ones must be Diao Chan and Zhen Mi. After all, it is not easy to suffer if a beautiful woman is beautiful.

But let Diao Chan be the imperial concubine?

It's totally unrealistic. Even if Diao Chan had entered the imperial court early, she could only be an ordinary concubine at best.

After much consideration, Dong Yu took up his pen and began to draft the titles for the concubines.

After much consideration, Huang Shu finally gave the imperial concubine issue to Zhen Rong, the second son of the Zhen family.

The two brothers of the Zhen family were of average ability and could not become powerful in-laws, so helping her to ascend to the throne posed almost no threat.

The four concubines, namely, De, Shu, Xian and Hui, are Cai Yan, Feng Yu, Tang Wan and Cai Ying.

There is nothing much to consider about the remaining concubine positions. The second-level concubine positions are all named according to preferences, personality, and even names.

For example, Diao Chan's Li Fei, Zhen Mi's Mi Fei, and Lu Lingqi's Wu Fei, they can be as abstract as they can be.

But this column has a very obvious feature, either they are extremely favored, or their family has bigwigs in the court, or they entered the palace early.
