The so-called auspicious omens were even more absurd.

However, the ministers below did not think so. In their opinion, the appearance of the Qilin was definitely a great happy event.

The Minister of Rites, Zhao Liting, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Qilin has appeared in the world, which is a great fortune for the country. This is the heavens showing Your Majesty's brilliance and martial prowess!"

Even Xu Changqing couldn't resist following suit, stepping forward to agree, "This matter should be announced to the world! It will surely greatly boost the morale of the people of our Great Wei."

"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers shouted in unison.

Jiang Chen hadn't taken this matter to heart, but after hearing Xu Changqing's last sentence, his heart stirred slightly.

The new year was approaching, and the people of Great Wei, who had just experienced a year of great disaster, did indeed need some inspiring news.

This auspicious omen from heaven could be a point to exploit.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen said, "Since it is an auspicious omen from heaven, then announce it to the world."

Then, Jiang Chen looked at Zhou Huanmao, "Zhou Qing, take people to bring the auspicious beast back."

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhou Huanmao's eyes. Jiang Chen was actually asking him to bring the auspicious beast back?

Wouldn't his purpose be thwarted?

The people from the Tang King's side had said that Jiang Chen had to go there in person.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Huanmao said, "Your Majesty, the descent of the auspicious beast is a reward from heaven to Your Majesty. It would be disrespectful for me to lead people to welcome it."

Jiang Chen frowned. What auspicious omen? It was just something to fool people.

He didn't have the leisure to personally invite an animal back to the palace.

"After the auspicious beast returns, I will treat it well." Jiang Chen said.

Zhou Huanmao didn't know that Jiang Chen didn't believe in the so-called auspicious omen at all. Seeing Jiang Chen so decisively refuse to go out to welcome it in person, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Could it be that Jiang Chen had noticed something?

He carefully glanced at Jiang Chen, unable to discern anything unusual on Jiang Chen's face, but he absolutely dared not speak again.

"Yes, I will take people to invite it." Zhou Huanmao agreed.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that the ministers had no more matters to report, he dismissed the court.

After returning home, Zhou Huanmao quickly had someone inform the Tang King's people about Jiang Chen's refusal to go to Jade Void Mountain.

Phoenix City, Jiang Sheng looked at the contents of the note, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.

Wang Yaohui, who was beside him, also looked surprised.

Since ancient times, no emperor had been able to remain indifferent to auspicious omens from heaven. Some emperors even created auspicious omens themselves in order to write about them in detail in the history books.

But Jiang Chen was completely indifferent.

What was going on?

Even if Wang Yaohui was intelligent, it was impossible for him to imagine that Jiang Chen was not from this era and naturally would not have any feelings about the so-called auspicious omens.

Jiang Sheng said at this time, "Father-in-law, has our plan been exposed?"

Wang Yaohui was shocked and quickly recalled the series of actions.

After reviewing it several times, Wang Yaohui shook his head.

"Your Highness, Zhou Huanmao has become dispensable after the Imperial Examination and no one will pay special attention to him."

Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt very helpless in his heart.

"Father-in-law, what other way is there to get Jiang Chen out of the palace if even auspicious omens can't do it?"

Wang Yaohui also looked embarrassed.

The auspicious omen was a plan that he thought was impossible to fail.

But it failed.

This made him doubt his own wisdom.

But soon, he banished these distracting thoughts.

Thinking about these things was useless. Now that the arrow was on the string, it had to be fired.

Wang Yaohui's eyes sank, and he said, "As long as it is a person, there will be weaknesses! Please think about what Jiang Chen's obvious weaknesses are?"

"Weaknesses?"

Jiang Sheng frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

He thought of Jiang Chen's biggest weakness!

Wang Yaohui also thought of something at this time, and the two said in unison, "Beauty!"

It was another morning court. After listening to a group of ministers reporting on affairs, Jiang Chen prepared to dismiss the court.

At this time, Zhou Huanmao stood up again.

Seeing Zhou Huanmao come forward, Jiang Chen thought of the so-called auspicious beast he had brought back a few days ago, which was just a white deer.

He didn't know where this thing came from.

However, this white deer still caused quite a stir in Great Wei.

At least the people who heard the news were in high spirits and were talking about the beautiful visions of the future.

From this point of view, this auspicious omen was still somewhat useful.

So Jiang Chen sat back down and wanted to hear what Zhou Huanmao had to report.

The ministers also looked at Zhou Huanmao, wondering how Zhou Huanmao would try to flatter him this time.

Zhou Huanmao said seriously at this time, "Your Majesty, after thinking about it carefully these days, I feel that Imperial Censor Yu's report a few days ago was quite reasonable."

The ministers, who originally thought Zhou Huanmao would say something good, all widened their eyes.

Had Zhou Huanmao been kicked in the head by the auspicious beast, or had he gone crazy after seeing the auspicious beast?

How dare he mention this matter?

Didn't he see that His Majesty's expression was already a little unhappy at the time?

Yu Mengguo could say it because he was an imperial censor, and His Majesty could not punish him.

What was Zhou Huanmao, a vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, trying to do by mentioning this matter?

Jiang Chen's face, as expected, became very unsightly.

Seeing the change in Jiang Chen's expression, Zhou Huanmao's heart pounded. He quickly said, "I think Imperial Censor Yu's words are somewhat one-sided. This matter is not caused by Your Majesty, but by those imperial concubines."

Hearing this, the ministers were a little surprised.

Was Zhou Huanmao trying to attack Yu Mengguo to win His Majesty's favor?

Jiang Chen was also a little surprised and glanced at Yu Mengguo.

Did these two have any grudges?

Just as he was thinking, he heard Zhou Huanmao continue, "I think Your Majesty should widely select beautiful women and choose the best to enter the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an immediate uproar in the hall.

Everyone then understood that Zhou Huanmao's purpose was this!

Many ministers looked at Zhou Huanmao with envy and jealousy. They didn't expect that after being marginalized for a while, Zhou Huanmao suddenly had an epiphany and knew how to please His Majesty.

Everyone knew that His Majesty had been very interested in women since he ascended the throne.

In the past few years, he first brought down the Mei family, then went on an expedition against the Huns, then dealt with the Su family and the four major military camps, plus this year's great disaster, His Majesty's hobby was temporarily suspended.

Now that everything was thriving, such a proposal would surely be in line with His Majesty's wishes.

A minister stepped forward and echoed, "I think what Lord Zhou said is reasonable. Your Majesty should widely select beautiful women and extend the bloodline of Great Wei as soon as possible."

This matter, in this era, was naturally a very important matter. The ministers who originally did not want to get involved in this matter had to agree.

This was for the sake of Great Wei!

Jiang Chen was speechless. Being an emperor was good, but every word and deed would be elevated to the level of the entire country, which made him a little unhappy.
