Chapter 232: Is this what you want?
After returning to the palace, Gu Lanzhi told Li Beichen about Yin Heng.
Li Beichen had no objection to the official position that Yin Heng wanted, but he had some thoughts about Yin Heng as a person.
In the past, Li Beichen only knew that Yin Heng was Gu Lanzhi's brother-in-law. Yin Heng had no outstanding features in the court and was not a person who could easily impress people.
Those who don't stand out, don't cause trouble, and follow the rules have a low sense of presence.
However, Gu Lanzhi's identity as the queen is still very sensitive. Yin Heng made such a request to Gu Lanzhi at this time. Li Beichen felt bad about Yin Heng.
There is only one empress in the emperor's harem, which makes the court officials have a lot of thoughts. At this time, Gu Lanzhi can only remain silent and not make any noise to get temporary peace.
Yin Heng clearly knew all this, but still made the request, which made people feel a little unhappy.
Everyone knows that Yin Heng is Gu Lanzhi's brother-in-law. Now that Li Beichen has promoted Yin Heng, everyone will think that the emperor dotes on the queen and promotes people who have a relationship with the queen to please her.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, everyone just thinks this way.
Li Beichen sighed and thought, forget it, just do as Gu Lanzhi asked. This was the first time Gu Lanzhi made a request to Li Beichen after they got married, and Li Beichen would satisfy it no matter what.
As for what kind of voices will arise from the court, let Li Beichen calm them down.
As expected, after Li Beichen promoted Yin Heng to a higher position, the court officials reacted greatly.
Although no one directly said that the queen was interfering in government affairs, every word they said hinted at this.
The court officials promoted by Li Beichen naturally spoke on Li Beichen's side and quarreled fiercely with the ministers who held different opinions.
Gu Jingcheng stood not far from Li Beichen, looking at the ministers who were arguing in a mess, and then looked at Yin Heng with cold eyes.
The eldest lady also told Gu Jingcheng about Yin Heng's affairs, and Gu Jingcheng immediately thought of the current result.
But what he didn't expect was that the quarrel would become like this.
He felt that at most those ministers with ulterior motives would just say some sour words and slander the queen.
But now it seems... Gu Jingcheng really underestimated these court officials with their own thoughts. At the same time, he disliked Yin Heng even more, as he ignored his brother's situation for the sake of his own official position.
Li Beichen stared at the quarreling ministers with a gloomy face without saying a word, nor did he stop them from quarreling.
As the ministers argued, their voices gradually became quieter, and finally the court returned to silence.
Li Beichen still didn't speak immediately, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of each court official.
"Have you had enough of arguing? Is there anything else you want to say?" Li Beichen asked in a cold voice.
The ministers lowered their heads, looking at each other, and no one dared to step forward.
They were also excited for a moment and forgot that the emperor sitting above was not someone whose thoughts could be easily influenced, but an emperor who always kept his word.
They quarreled for so long, but their actions would only leave a corresponding impression in the emperor's mind.
If the emperor held a grudge against them because they quarreled so loudly, would they follow the same fate as those ministers who had offended His Majesty?
For a moment, those ministers who held opposing opinions were trembling with fear.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have punished many court officials and promoted many court officials.
Why are you so emotional when it comes to Lord Yin? Is it because Lord Yin is the husband of the Queen?
So according to you, as long as someone related to the queen is promoted, it means the queen is interfering in politics?
If the queen was interfering in government affairs, why was it that only Lord Yin was promoted? Shouldn't everyone related to the queen be promoted?
The Queen was a military general before she became the Queen. Then why didn't any of the generals who had been through life and death with the Queen get promoted suddenly?
You can't see all of these, and only see that Lord Yin is the Queen's brother-in-law?
Is it the Queen who has selfish motives, or are you shameless people who have selfish motives?
Saying that the queen interfered in government affairs? Haha...
Not to mention that there is no queen, even if the queen interferes in politics, what can happen?
Every one of you, who has made greater contribution to the Dongshun Kingdom than the Queen?
The Queen almost died on the battlefield defending the Kingdom of Dongshun. Have you forgotten all this?
How many men are left in the Gu family now? Which family in your family is as loyal and brave as the Gu family?
Now that Dongshun Kingdom is stable, you are accusing the Queen of interfering in government affairs?
Isn't it because I don't have a harem that the girls in your own families can't be sent into the harem to compete for my favor?
Just because of this, you start to slander the Queen. Do you want me to pull out your tongues?
It is my order not to establish a harem. What does it have to do with the Queen?
None of you want to make achievements in government, but only think about my harem? Do you have nothing to do?
It seems that you are saying that the Queen is interfering in government affairs and favoring the emperor alone, but actually what you want to say is that I should open up more harems, right?
Hahahaha...Okay, I can open a harem, just send everyone you want into the palace!
If you send one to me, I will banish them to the cold palace. They are just a few people anyway, and the palace doesn't need a bite of food from them. Just let them die in the cold palace!
Is this what you want?"
In fact, Li Beichen was trying to change the concept when he said this.
Not all ministers who hold different opinions want to send their family members into the harem, but when Li Beichen brings up the topic, the ministers will stop nagging Gu Lanzhi.
As long as the war is not with Gu Lanzhi, Li Beichen will have a way to settle the matter.
Gu Lanzhi is Li Beichen's weak spot, and he does not allow anyone to say anything bad about Gu Lanzhi.
Gu Jingcheng glanced at Li Beichen obscurely and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
He understood what Li Beichen meant by these words. Gu Jingcheng had no objection to the emperor as his brother-in-law.
No matter when, the emperor would always protect his brother first. Gu Jingcheng liked this brother-in-law, this emperor, even more.
