Regarding Guo Peng's remarks, Cao Lan was suddenly angry.

So she stared at Guo Peng, her eyes were very unkind.

"Your Majesty also knows that you are forty years old?"

Cao Lan's tone was full of sour taste: "Forty years old, still don't pay attention to your body?" Isn't it enough to have two sisters? They are only in their twenties, how many people does Your Majesty plan to recruit to control the concubines? Your Majesty thinks that the power of the concubine is too small, so he has found a subordinate for the concubine? ”

Guo Peng scratched his face.

I haven't been scolded by Cao Lan for a long time, and I'm a little unused to it.

After all, he was either scolding people in the previous dynasty, or scolding people in the Qinzheng Palace, or scolding people in bed, and he was still relatively rare.

And it's also inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

"Alan, those women were dedicated to me by Wen Lie and the countries of the Western Regions, they are a piece of the heart of Wen Lie and the countries of the Western Regions, they are dedicated to me, if I don't want them, they will be frightened, they will be cranky, and it is not conducive to the stability of the country, so I must accept these women and let them feel at ease."

"Wen Lie...... Well, very well, our Chisamurama has finally grown up. ”

The corners of Cao Lan's mouth were slightly hooked, and the chill from the corners of her eyes made Guo Peng feel that Cao Xiu's future life might not be easy.

But Cao Lan obviously didn't decide to let Guo Peng go because of this.

"Not to mention anything else, Your Majesty has sent out more than 100 women, and he doesn't feel distressed at all."

"So didn't I keep a dozen of them? I didn't give it all away. ”

“……”

Cao Lan's big eyes stared at Guo Peng.

Guo Peng shook his head helplessly.

"Then, if you don't want to, you won't stamp the big seal on the edict, if you don't stamp the big seal, I can't help it, then it all depends on what you think."

Guo said that he gave up the decision to Cao Lan.

Cao Lan still doesn't understand what Guo is thinking?

"The concubine is not worried about anything else, the concubine is worried about whether those women from the Western Regions have ulterior motives, or the eyes and ears of some people, or the daggers of some people."

Guo smiled.

"Eyes and ears are still possible, dagger ...... That's purely looking for death, but it can't be said that there are no worries about this, so let's do it, Alain, I'll hand them over to you, you will review them, when do you think it's okay, I'll do it again, how about it? ”

Cao Lan was stunned for a moment.

"Really?"

"You are the queen, you have the final say in the harem, if you don't let me touch them, I won't touch them, I have six sons, and there is no shortage of offspring, it's just pure freshness."

Guo took Cao Lan's hand and smiled: "When you see something fresh, you will inevitably have some thoughts and ideas, but if you really don't want to, then forget it, I'll hand them over to you, and you can do whatever you want." ”

Cao Lanzai looked at Guo Peng's face carefully.

Then he smiled.

"The concubine really took them away, and it's hard to say when they will be returned to Your Majesty."

"Yes, you can pay it back to me when you want, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, you can stay by your side and serve you, or send them out to others, anyway, I haven't touched them, it's all up to you to be happy, okay?"

Guo Peng looked cowardly.

"Then what if someone talks about what happened today, and it is passed on to future generations, saying that Your Majesty wants to be fortunate with two women, and is stopped by the concubine, and Your Majesty is not allowed to do this, and Your Majesty does not do it, and then says that the concubine is a jealous woman and does not have the heart of a mother?"

Yes, it's all taken into account.

It seems that Cao Lan, the queen, is not in vain.

Guo Peng was amused by Cao Lan.

"It's easy to do, what happened today will never be known, including future generations, everyone will only know that you are a broad-minded queen of the world, and no one will know that I, the emperor, can't even handle two women."

Guo Peng immediately expressed his determination to protect Cao Lan's reputation, and did not hesitate to hand over the rights enjoyed by his lower body for this.

"Really?"

Cao Lan couldn't help but laugh.

"Really, I swear."

Guo Peng swore to Cao Lan.

Cao Lan looked at Guo Peng for a while.

"Your Majesty doesn't have any other questions?"

"What else could be a problem? Dealing with these two newcomers, the six of you must be in a group, I guess, you won't take the initiative to come to me, it must be Ah Lu who insists that you come to me, and she is so straightforward.

And then the other three, including her sister, must support this point of view behind their backs, and then plead you to come to me, Ah Zhen may not be involved in this matter, but she will definitely not stop you. ”

Guo Peng restored this matter to a hundred and seventy-eight based on his understanding of these six women.

"Your Majesty is not angry?"

Cao Lan couldn't hold back in the end, pursed her lips and smiled.

"Alan, I'm the emperor, I'm going to be angry a lot, what's wrong with the court that I don't want to be angry? If I'm going to be angry about this kind of thing, I'm going to stop living.

Okay, take them away, what do you want, the six of you discuss it yourself, anyway, the matter of the harem, you are the queen, you decide, I listen to you. ”

Guo hugged Cao Lan.

Cao Lan was finally relieved and nodded.

"I really took the people away, and I don't know when I will return them, but, Penglang, you have to remember that they ......"

"Don't worry, they will never have children, royal blood, there will be no accidents."

Guo Peng nodded at Cao Lan to soothe her worries.

Cao Lan nodded.

Then, Cao Lan quickly left, and after a while, Su Yuan walked in.

"Your Majesty, the queen took away the dozen or so women from the Western Regions together."

Guo Peng sat back on the side of the case and was dealing with government affairs.

"Well, I know, by the way, Su Yuan, how did you do what you told the people in the inner court to do?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Great Medical Pavilion already has a countermeasure there, and the medicine is being dispensed, and there will be absolutely no problem, and the Huada Doctor assured the old slave that there will be no mistakes, and none of those women in the Western Regions will have problems."

"Okay."

Guo nodded slowly and continued to deal with government affairs.

This little storm went unnoticed by anyone.

Guo Peng strictly ordered no one to talk about this matter involving the queen, so no one discussed this matter, and as for what happened to those women in the Western Regions, Guo didn't care.

Cao Lan didn't want to interfere with what he wanted, whether he could enjoy the two glamorous orchids of the Western Regions, Guo didn't think about it, as long as Cao Lan was happy.

He hadn't been to the harem for several days, and he had been discussing another important matter with his subordinates in the Qinzheng Palace.

He wants to improve the avoidance system, and he also wants to change the rule of [going to the second name].

This is a rule set by Wang Mang after he became emperor.

Everyone is not allowed to use a two-word name, it must be changed to one word, and only those who have committed a crime will be changed back to a two-word name, so the single name is noble, and the double name is cheap, which affects an era.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there were also two-character names such as Dong Zhongshu, Huo and Zhu Maichen, and there was not much difference between single-character names and double-character names.

But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, people in the upper class were all single-character names, including Guo himself, and two-character names were not absent, but they were extremely rare.

This is Wang Mang's pot.

After Wang Mang became emperor, he carried out large-scale reforms, and the first thing to bear the brunt of was various names.

Not to mention the names of people, the names of places and countries are within the scope of change, which has caused a large-scale resentment.

He has also changed at home and abroad, and the scope of change is very large, there are many times, and there are even changes every day, which makes people confused and disgusted.

The same is true abroad.

For example, he changed the name of the Xiongnu to slavery, Shan Yu changed it to obey Yu, changed Gao Gu Li to the next sentence Li, and forced the Xiongnu Shan Yu to change his name to a single word name.

It's enough to get enough of the addiction of the emperor of the Heavenly Empire.

What to say?

Wayward?

If policies such as country names and place names still have political significance, then his policy of removing two names makes Guo very disgusted.

There are also social reasons for the emergence of this policy, because under the constraints of the strict avoidance etiquette system, the two names [because of their difficulty] had to use more convenient and avoidable single-character names in order to avoid them, so Wang Mang promulgated the rule that [China must not have two names].

Avoidance is a big proposition, an important part of the feudal etiquette system, Wang Mang, who greatly admires Zhou Li as the legitimacy of his own governance, to adopt this kind of policy to buy people's hearts, it is normal to think about it.

Wang Mang's head is still in the hands of Guo and is stored in the Luoyang warehouse as a political ornament.

Although he has been dead for a long time, this policy of conforming to the etiquette system really makes Guo feel depressed.
