Hearing this, the Minister of Rites hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that must not be done! If the eunuch system is abolished, what shall be done if thieves harm the Harem?"
Lu Chen replied, "When Great Ancestor founded the Great Xia Dynasty, there were no eunuchs. Why weren't there incidents of people causing chaos in the Harem then?"
"Since ancient times, those who have caused chaos in the Harem were mostly from the Imperial Guard. Does Your Majesty intend to make all those guards into eunuchs?"
This…
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the ministers were momentarily stunned.
However, some ministers quickly realized that without eunuchs and the Castrated Faction, wouldn't the new Emperor naturally lack a faction of power by his side? For the civil officials, this was an excellent matter!
At that moment, the Minister of Revenue quickly stood up and said, "This minister supports His Majesty's decision; artificially creating eunuchs is indeed against heaven and nature."
