Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Hearing this answer, the Empress remained calm.

"That's it... that's a pity. Gu Aiqing's focus on martial arts is somewhat similar to Xiao Aiqing's focus on the holy way. Are you, like Xiao Aiqing, prepared to use Tao as a companion to seek the truth of heaven and earth?"

"That's not it."

Gu Simiao shook her head again.

"Wei Chen can't compare to a wonderful woman like Xiao Shangshu who is a scholar of heaven and earth. Her dedication to martial arts is just a helpless move by Wei Chen, and..."

Having said that, she suddenly narrowed her eyes, and a meaningful smile flashed in the corner of her eyes.

"Weichen just doesn't have any lovers who separated because of Zhao Feifan's matter, it's not that he doesn't have any lovers."

click...

"Oh?"

The wine glass in the female emperor's hand shook, and then she asked in surprise: "Does the Gu Qing family have someone in mind?"

Gu Simiao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes."

After a pause, she suddenly raised her wine glass and bowed towards the empress.

"Your Majesty's kindness, I appreciate it, but let's forget about the marriage. Although I have a deep affection for that person, he has extremely lofty ideals in his heart. For him at this time, the love of children Growth will only slow down his footsteps, so before he realizes his ambition, Weichen doesn't intend to show his heart."

"Of course, as the emperor of the world, your majesty is the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land. Your majesty can decide all the affairs of the world with one word, and no one can violate them. But as the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet. , what I appreciate and like is him as a person, not his body, so please don't mention this matter again, and don't ask who that person is, I don't want these things to bother him."

As soon as the words fell, the little hands under the empress' dragon robe tightened inexplicably.

"Well, according to what Gu Aiqing said, let's pretend that I never said anything about this matter."

Chapter 145 The Emperor

"Speaking of marriage..."

At the banquet, Gu Simiao seemed to think of something suddenly, chuckled, and asked the Empress, "Your Majesty has reached the age for marriage now, I wonder when Your Majesty plans to draft a talent show, and recruit the emperor to secure the country's foundation?"

Hearing this, the empress couldn't help frowning slightly.

What Gu Simiao said is correct, although she is only 16 years old this year, she has already reached the age where she will be urged to marry.

Generally speaking, the age of marriage for the vast majority of princes and concubines will not exceed, and they are generally married before the age of 16. Since she has lived in the shadow of the Queen Mother Zhao for a long time, no one cares about her life-long affairs at all. Well, such a costly and costly event, the draft, just fell through after a series of sudden accidents.

But now that she is in power, it is impossible for the courtiers to turn a blind eye to the affairs of the harem as before.

After all, the emperor is related to the foundation of the country, and it is impossible to hang high for a long time.

Gu Simiao's words immediately made her realize a big problem.

When the other courtiers heard this, they also opened their mouths.

"Your Majesty, General Gu is right. The draft is indeed on the agenda."

"The harem cannot be left without a master for a day, and the position of the emperor cannot be suspended for a long time, otherwise the people in the court will be unstable, which is not conducive to the stability of the world."

"General Gu took back the treasury that was stolen by the demon queen. Now that the treasury is quite full, it's time to move forward with this matter."

"..."

Everyone said what I said, and the opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

After all, this is a major issue of stabilizing the country, it is absolutely politically correct, and it is not a matter of standing in line with the crown prince, which is extremely risky. As long as you open your mouth, it is a proper way to seek the country. Why not do it? ?

However, they didn't notice that as their voices fell one after another, an imperceptible haze flashed quietly in the empress' eyes.

A certain sentence that Gu Simiao said just now echoed in his ears.

"The matter of the emperor will be discussed later."

The empress said expressionlessly: "Although the imperial court is settled now, the influence caused by the demon queen's six years of chaos has not been eliminated. Wuxin's love for children, this kind of thing, let's wait for the world to calm down."

There was a hint of resistance in the words.

"Your Majesty's words are inappropriate."

It was Liu Dongyang who stood up.

"The matter of the emperor is not just about the love of children, but a major issue related to the stability of the world. It cannot be delayed. It is for the sake of the common people. Please make a decision early."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Ping on the side went on to say: "What Liu Shangshu said is very true. Your Majesty, even ordinary people, follow the concept of [There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest]. The well-being of the people, such a major event must not be neglected."

"Your Majesty will get married as soon as possible, give birth to the prince Diji, and with the crown prince, the world will be truly stable."

Others persuaded one after another.

Gu Simiao's question just now ignited the powder keg that would explode sooner or later.

Facing everyone's unanimous advice, the empress couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Chen.

However, he found that Lu Chen was chatting casually with the Holy King Cangming, and he had no intention of speaking about this matter at all.

The frown suddenly deepened.

Then she fell silent completely, and at the same time said silently in her heart: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about with Lu Chen? It's so exciting."

Jiang Chengdao: "?"

Hearing the sound transmission from the Empress, he felt a little bit of a puzzle.

Aren't you talking about Dijun now?Why did you suddenly transmit the sound to me?

Moreover, it’s just an audition, and you’re not getting married right away. He doesn’t need to be the elder brother to check the auditions. This matter has nothing to do with him...

When thinking about this, Jiang Chengdao still answered honestly: "When talking about Fu Wei, Fu Wei suddenly realized the Tao before, and was attacked by rebels when he was dealing with the catastrophe. After all, it was affected by external forces, and Lu Chen wanted to know if this influence would leave any sequelae for Fu Yu's breakthrough to Guiyi Realm."

"oh, I see..."

The empress answered calmly, then stared at Lu Chen, her red lips parted slightly, and she called softly.

"Lu Qing."

Hearing the empress calling him, Lu Chen immediately raised his head and met the empress' eyes.

Before he could speak, the empress asked directly, "What do you think of this matter?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was speechless for a moment.

What do you think?Am I just sitting and watching?

Do you really think of me as Li Yuanfang?

Shaking his head, Lu Chen casually said: "Your Majesty, this is your family matter, you can decide on your own, I don't have any opinion on it."

Hearing this, a hint of subtlety flashed in the empress' eyes for a moment.

At this time, Liu Dongyang suddenly opened his mouth and said to Lu Chen: "It's a matter of Lu, Your Majesty's family affairs are state affairs. Now that the emperor's position is hanging high, the world is in trouble. As the courtiers of Yongchu, we have the responsibility to persuade the king. It is a matter of great importance to the fate of the Great Xia, and we should advise His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."

As soon as he opened his mouth, other people expressed their opinions one after another. Only the old man, Yan Song, remained silent as always, like an old monk sitting still, without saying a word.

But hearing what they said, Lu Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I am not a timid person. Since you are so persistent, then I will share my humble opinion on this matter."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Lu Chen.

The little hand of the empress holding the wine glass tightened slightly.

"Lu Qing, please be frank, no matter what you say, Lu Qing, I will not punish you for your words."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen cupped his hands towards the empress, and then slowly said in the eyes of everyone: "I believe that the matter of the emperor should be postponed for two years."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

But the little hand of the empress loosened slightly.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Lu Chen said indifferently: "Because in my opinion, a woman's [-]th year is not considered an adult, and the organs of the body may not be fully mature. Your Majesty has just reached the [-]th year. It is not appropriate to break the body too early, otherwise there will be dangers." May cause irreversible damage to the body."

"Besides, giving birth to a child is a hell, especially for underage women. Even in the palace, there are concubines who sometimes die due to dystocia. Your Majesty is now in the blessings of all people, and no surprises can be tolerated, so slightly I believe that Your Majesty is not yet ready for marriage, and it will not be too late in two years."

"absurd!"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Qian Yiqian snorted coldly.

"Since ancient times, women have been able to marry after they have reached the age of [-]. How come it is not appropriate for you to talk about Lu Geshi. Is Lu Geshi more talented than ancient sages?"

"It's always been like this, isn't it right?"

Lu Chen smiled.

"I believe that today's people don't have to be inferior to the ancients. What the ancients can do, today's people can also do, and even surpass them. For example, this woman's marriageable age, I don't agree with what the ancient sages said."

"Of course, even if I say nothing, I will not point out the target without foundation, Your Majesty..."

As he spoke, he turned his head directly, stretched out his hand, and saluted the empress slightly.

"If you want to prove this, it's actually not difficult. You just need to send someone to collect the situation after giving birth to the women Luo Jing married when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and compare it with the situation after giving birth to the women after the age of 20. If there is any difference Few, then what I say is just nonsense, but if most of the pre-educated people fall into the root cause of the disease, or even die due to dystocia, then letting the girls get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen is to ignore human life!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words so convincingly, even though they felt that Lu Chen's words were a fantasy, everyone couldn't help but tremble.

Chapter 146 The world is not in peace, why should the family do it?

After Lu Chen's words fell, everyone thought the remarks were ridiculous, but they didn't speak immediately.

Even Qian Yiqian, Zheng Zhong and others fell silent.

Gu Simiao did not betray the imperial court, but instead played a major role in eradicating the remaining disasters of the demon queen. Although this result is a great thing for the imperial court, it is quite a big deal for the people who deliberately used words to run on Lu Chen in the court before. Yu slapped them hard in the face.

It's not over yet.

Moreover, Lu Chen is a very evil person. What seems to be a matter of course, as long as he participates, there will be a shocking reversal in the end.

It was like this when the Empress was, it was like this when the Holy King was there, and it was still like this when Xia Yan was.

And this time Gu Simiao...

Everyone who questioned and ridiculed him almost had his face swollen, and those so-called Holy Kings, Hu Yan and his ilk were killed.

So the matter of the woman's birth, not to mention that they don't have a solid theoretical basis to prove that what Lu Chen said is wrong, they can only refute it based on the experience of the past and present. Even if it seems a certainty, they have to think carefully now. Think carefully about whether there is a loophole in this matter that they did not expect.

To avoid being slapped in the face again.
