Thinking about it, Zhao Dongting could only talk about his age, and said: "I am still young, and I am not even old enough to get married, so why worry?" ”

The Great Song Dynasty has a clear rule that men marry at fifteen and women marry at thirteen, and Zhao Dongting is not yet this age.

But Lu Xiufu said: "The emperor is a true dragon son, naturally different from the people. Moreover, there are many people who are still young but marry relatives, and the emperor should be a model for the people. ”

A man marries at fifteen and a woman marries at thirteen, which means that a man should marry at the age of fifteen, and a woman should marry at the age of thirteen. In this era, there are only regulations on the upper age limit for marriage, and no matter how young you are, there is no problem in getting married. Folk child daughters-in-law and so on are everywhere, and there are little fathers and mothers everywhere.

The people are like this, and the royal family is naturally even more exaggerated.

There are not a few men in the royal family, and there are not a few who are not yet ten years old and accept the side room.

Although some of them got married late, they had already pampered their maids before they got married, or they had special women to teach them sexual affairs and had mature sexual experience.

Take Zhao Yu, the king of Guang, as an example, he has now obediently married the princess.

Zhao Dongting was stopped by Lu Xiufu's words, obviously, just talking about age was not enough for them to give up persuading Zhao Dongting to accept a concubine.

After a long while, Zhao Dongting said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to take a concubine, it's just that I want to marry the woman I love." You know what? ”

Lu Xiufu was puzzled: "The emperor already has a favorite woman?" In that case, why not summon her into the palace as a concubine? ”

Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly: "I have concerns, it will take a few years before I can marry her into the palace." ”

Lu Xiufu and the others saw that Zhao Dongting said something general, and they didn't dare to ask in detail, so they only said: "Doesn't the emperor plan to marry other concubines before this?" ”

Zhao Dongting sighed and shook his head, not knowing how to explain.

His education was different from that of this era. It is difficult for him to accept marrying a woman he doesn't love.

Respecting each other is not what he wants, when he comes here, what he wants to pursue is sweet love.

Mu Kangxun, the governor of Leizhou, said at this time: "Your Majesty, the concubine is only to give birth to a dragon son, it is better to accept other women as concubines first, what does it matter if you like it or not?" ”

Lu Xiufu and Chen Wenlong both nodded when they heard this.

In this era, the status of women is not high, and it is not good to say, and concubines are just tools for giving birth and solving physiological needs.

There is nothing wrong with Mu Kangxun's words, and in this day and age, it can be taken for granted. Concubines, they were originally married when they were born beautiful, whether he likes it or not, as long as he can give birth to cubs.

And the concubine is in the palace, isn't it equivalent to the emperor's concubine?

They all grew up in the background of their parents' orders, so it is naturally difficult to understand the free love in Zhao Dongting's heart.

The background of the Southern Song Dynasty is destined to seldom talk about the word "feelings" between men and women in this era.

Between Le Wuwu and his wife, as well as Zhao Dongting and Le Chan, these are all outliers, only a very few.

"This ......"

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned again.

He understood what Mu Kangxun meant, in this era, the marriage contract was just for the sake of having children.

He didn't resist having a relationship with a strange woman, and in his last life, he didn't mess around outside for entertainment.

However, let him have children with a woman who has no emotional foundation. Just thinking about it made him feel ridiculous.

He always felt that in that case, he was no different from the first stallion.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to be reduced to a stallion, and muttered: "This matter will be talked about in a few years, I don't want my pillow person to be a strange woman." ”

But Lu Xiufu picked out a loophole in his words, and immediately said: "There are already several beauties in the emperor's palace, and they are not acquaintances, right?" ”

Zhao Dongting was stunned.

He just forgot about this stubble, yes, Yang Shufei and the others want to give him a concubine, most of them are selected from Ying'er, Le Wu and other women.

Zhao Dongting's mind slowly appeared the faces of several women, and then the scene when he married them and had children.

This made him shake his head again and again, "No, no! ”

His relationship with several daughters has not yet developed to that level.

But as soon as the words fell, his eyes suddenly burst with essence.

Yang Shufei just wants him to get married, right?

Ying'er is a personal maid, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before she becomes his concubine, and even Zhao Dongting himself thinks so.

Let him and Ying'er now get pregnant and have children, and he is repulsed in his heart. But if he only marries Ying'er, he can accept it.

At this moment, an idea uncontrollably arose in his heart.

This made Zhao Dongting's face very delicate.

And Lu Xiufu and the others looked at Zhao Dongting shaking his head with "horror" on his face, and they couldn't help but wonder, "Your Majesty, why not?" ”

Zhao Dongting didn't want to say more to them, just put on the emperor's shelf, and said: "In short, if I say no, it won't work!" I won't take a concubine now, so there's no need to discuss this matter anymore. ”

Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others, you look at me, I look at you, I just feel inexplicable, I don't know what to say.

Persuade again?

What should I do if the emperor is angry?

They are just courtiers, and they don't dare to give Zhao Dongting a look like Yang Shufei and force him to accept a concubine.

There was a sudden silence in the courtyard.

Zhao Dongting's heart became more and more cheerful the more he thought about it, like the sun breaking through the dark clouds.

After a while, Xiyi asked Ai Aidi: "Your Majesty, what is the matter of the Book of the People......

"You make it up yourself, clean it up yourself, or I'll clean you up." Zhao Dongting was very angry.

He can be sure that the matter of Wanminshu was also instructed by Concubine Yang Shu and made out by Xiyi.

Now that it's the end of the year, the people are too busy with their own affairs to be busy, and they still have the leisure to take care of Zhao Dongting's affairs?

Xi Yi smiled and didn't dare to say more. The emperor saw it, and it would be a fool to deny it at this time.

Seeing this, Lu Xiufu and the others all sighed slightly in their hearts. It seems that they can't persuade the emperor.

The courtyard was quiet again.

Outside the courtyard, on the bluestone road in the palace, Liu Hongyi followed the eunuch to Zhao Dongting's dormitory.

Zhao Dongting suddenly announced him, he didn't know what was going on.

When he was about to arrive at the dormitory, he couldn't help it after all, and asked the eunuch who led the way in front of him: "Father-in-law, do you know when the emperor announced me?" ”

The eunuch replied with a sharp voice: "General Liu, the emperor announced you, and the slaves and maids don't know what the specific matter is." It's just that the ministers such as the State Decree and the Deputy State Decree were also in the emperor's bedroom at this time, discussing how to implement the Boon Order, and the emperor seemed to have the intention of using a knife with the nobles of Leizhou. ”

Liu Hongyi's face was slightly pale, and he bowed his hand slightly, "Thank you father-in-law." ”

The eunuch smiled softly and stopped talking.

Liu Hongyi followed suit, and he was also thoughtful.

The emperor wants to take the nobles under the knife?

This reminded him of the time when the field division system was introduced. At that time, the nobles of Leizhou also resisted in every possible way, if it wasn't for the idea of Xiang Dongyang Xiang, the emperor would have already taken the nobles at that time. Now, after all, can't you avoid it?

He doesn't know much about state affairs, but if he uses the nobles, he is afraid that the army will be ......

Liu Hong suddenly became a little worried.

This made his pace quicker a bit.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he immediately knelt on the ground, "The last general will knock on the emperor." ”

Since becoming the commander of the Huanglong Forbidden Army, he has gradually gained the momentum of a general, and he is no longer comparable to when he was the commander of the Leizhou Army Flying Army.

Zhao Dongting was still relatively close to him, smiled and waved his hand: "General Liu, please get up quickly, come and sit!" ”

A eunuch hurriedly brought chairs.

Liu Hongyi saluted Lu Xiufu again, and then sat down on the chair, but he didn't take the initiative to ask Zhao Dongting what he was doing.

Officialdom is still a little evasive. For example, if he asks the eunuch for a look, this kind of thing cannot be revealed on the surface.

Zhao Dongting was in a good mood at this time, looked at him, and asked, "General Liu, how many troops does the Huanglong Forbidden Army have now?" ”

Liu Hongyi replied when he heard this: "Back to the emperor, there are now 30,000 old soldiers in the forbidden army, and more than 2,000 recruits have been recruited in the past few months. ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "You transfer two thousand old soldiers from them and let them accompany the officials of the Ministry of Finance to pay grain and collect taxes." ”

Liu Hongyi couldn't help it now, his heart jumped suddenly, and he said urgently: "Your Majesty, is this going to rely on force to collect taxes?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "Those nobles don't cooperate with paying taxes, and I don't use force to collect taxes, what can I do?" ”

Liu Hongyi frowned, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." ”
