“We will investigate this matter thoroughly. Who do you plan to appoint as the Imperial Envoy?” Empress Dowager Yunzi looked at him and asked.
“l want Ye Ziming to be the Imperial Envoy.
“This is a serious matter. Although he isn’t ranked that high in the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court has praised him many times. They said that he was more morally just than his master and that he would rather break than bend.
“The people in the Supreme Court will retire sooner or later. I intend to train him to take over soon enough. Moreover, he is also from Shengming Academy and is the Crown Prince’s classmate and good friend.
“If he takes over the Supreme Court in the future, it will be of great help to the
Crown Prince. It would be best if he could investigate this matter thoroughly and gain more experience.”
“Very good.” Empress Dowager Yunzi’s face revealed a gratified expression. Sometimes, she would be surprised with what her eldest son says. He was a capable man.
“Mother…” Emperor Hao didn’t know why, but he suddenly stopped.
Empress Dowager Yunzi was a straightforward person. She couldn’t stand this kind of beating around the bush. He wanted to say something but hesitated. Naturally, she spoke up first,” If there’s anything you want to say, say it.”
“I want to dismiss the harem.’
Empress Dowager Yunzi was stunned at first. Then, she sighed.
“Since you’re planning to, then do what you must. This way, the Crown Prince wont have to clean up the mess for you after he succeeds the throne.
“But you have to settle them down well and find them good families. You haven’t slept with them before. They were just part of your plan to get rid of the entire Ji family, after all.
“If they have nothing to do, they will cause some trouble to attract Ji Yi’s attention. This will make the Empress suffer.
“Their families have also made contributions to gain loyalty. If they should be rewarded, they should be rewarded generously. Don’t let them feel an ounce of disappointment. If you let them stay in the palace, they’ll end up harming you if you do nothing about it.
“It’s better for you to dismiss them. It’s a good thing that you warned them to be on guard against the doctor.
“Although Ji Yi thought that they drank the soup, they actually didn’t drink it and secretly changed the soup. Good thing you didn’t sleep with any of them.
Otherwise, you’d really be guilty.”
Emperor Hao didn’t expect his mother to agree so readily. Naturally, he was extremely happy. He quickly said, “Mother, don’t worry. I will find good families for them. I will also reward their families for taking them in.”
Empress Dowager Yunzi looked deeply at her son. After a moment, she sighed. “You actually did what your father couldn’t.”
When the previous Emperor was still in power, he wanted to disperse the harem for her. but he did not manage to do so until his death.
At that time, he had to rely on one of the consort’s family to stabilize the court.
“l don’t have much ability, but I might have the fortune,” Emperor Hao smiled.
Empress Dowager Yunzi also smiled. “You are indeed more fortunate than your father. You can even dismiss them ahead of time.”
“Actually, there’s one more thing.” Emperor Hao wanted to say something but hesitated. “l want to go to Xinyuan to see the Empress and the Crown Prince.” “l think you mainly want to see your Empress!” Her grandson had already said that he would come to the capital city to visit him often.
“l can’t hide anything from you.” Emperor Hao was a little embarrassed.
Empress Dowager Yunzi felt that he was doting on Shao Youyue too much, but he would step down soon. She shouldn’t stand in the way of love. If they didn’t meet, and were separated, how could their relationship improve? She definitely had to let the two of them meet..
