The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Weigu knelt on the ground, trembling and trembling, while arguing: "The monarch is already the supreme of a country, and he is no longer the prince of the past, so he must not act too casually, and he needs to abide by the etiquette of a country in order to demonstrate the wind of Nanyu and the righteousness of a great country." Mobile"

Ah Feng's eyes finally moved away from those never-ending twists and turns, looked at his courtiers, and smiled indifferently: "Wei Gu, the gift of one country that you let the widow abide by is to force the widow to marry the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts?" You say that the widow is too casual, because the widow only married one wife, and he still wants to protect it for the rest of his life and never abandon it? ”

Weigu grabbed the ground with his head, and he didn't dare to sweat: "The king is serious, but the minister doesn't dare." It's just that throughout the ages, looking at the kings of the past dynasties, at least one queen, three concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives need to be accepted. ”

When Ah Feng heard this, his sword eyebrows deepened: "Aiqing, the widow is dedicated to the government, and what he wants most is to be quiet, but you are afraid that the widow's harem will not be chaotic, and you want to turn Yueli Palace into a daughter country?" ”

Wei Gu was unswerving: "Your Majesty, this is the gift of the Son of Heaven." Only in this way can he become the queen of the palace and the king of the same body; The lady sat on the women's ceremony; Nine concubines teach the four virtues; the funeral, sacrifice, and guest of the world's women; The female royal order is in the king's swallow bed. It is also the only way to ensure the reproduction of children and the longevity of the society. ”

Ah Feng smiled slightly: "Historical records: Emperor Wen of Sui is a god and martial artist, he is lucky to hold the map, he is a pioneer and a leader, and he is also virtuous; Set things right, Jiguo Ning people, Liuhe and Bahong, the same text and the same track, and the magic is also; Xuanjiu pottery, clouds and lonely bamboo, worship God, respect the heavens, great filial piety; Yan Bo Ge, Zheng Etiquette and Music, Namin Shou Domain, Exorcism Blessing, and Politics. Not only that, he and his literary queen Dugu Jialuo have shared weal and woe for more than 40 years, and they have been concubines, with no concubines and no concubines. After a lifetime of precipitation, the couple is still deeply affectionate. There is such a holy monarch, how can Qing say? ”

Although Wei Gu is loyal, he is also slippery, but he can avoid the important and light: "Although Sui Wen is a unique show in Yinghua, the king is an emperor through the ages, a peerless saint." Although the king is the king of the world, young and promising, but there are three provinces, six departments, and twenty-four divisions in Nanyu, which one is not a shrewd and powerful minister? There are Eastern Wu, Western Shu, and Northern Tartar outside, which country is not a tyrannical army of tigers and wolves? Weichen thought that when the king was in the court, it was like a great enemy. If the monarch selects the daughter of the powerful minister, or the princess of the big country is included in the harem, many problems will be solved; Many relationships, all connected. The king can even have his children around his knees and enjoy the joy of family. ”

Ah Feng didn't answer and asked: "The widow wants to ask, how many insiders are in Aiqing's family?" ”

Weigu is very loyal and honest: "Weichen is old, no virtue and no talent, and only one wife stays." ”

Ah Feng laughed loudly: "Aiqing loves his wife like his life, and he enjoys his family; Why force the widow to abandon his wife and children, and exterminate humanity? ”

Wei Gu was shocked when he heard this: "Wechen didn't let the king abandon his wife and children, Wechen's wife, although it was dregs, still didn't go to court." The queen is the wife of the emperor, and the mother is the world, how noble? The mercy of the king's love and the pity of protection are understandable, and it does not contradict the concubine. ”

Ah Feng shook his head again and again: "It's understandable, it's not contradictory." It is nothing but painting bread to satisfy hunger and deceive oneself and others. Aiqing, you also know that since the widow ascended the throne, he has considered himself diligent and pragmatic, and he has been dreaming of sleeping at night. Accompanying the queen every day is no more than an hour. The widow and the queen only get along for a moment, and Aiqing still wants to take advantage of it? Aiqing snapped her fingers and calculated, if the widow accepts concubines again, what is left of the widow's wife? And how is it different from being a widow? What is left of my children? How is it different from an orphan? They were already left out in the cold, if the widow spoiled the concubine and loved the concubine, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house? Let the wife and weak son become a fish on the chopping block? ”

Wei Gu buckled his head and ran in a sweat: "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The world is like this, let alone a few concubines? With a little means, the king can make him bow down to the king, submit to the king, and obey the queen. The majesty of the king and the virtue of the queen are undoubtedly demonstrated. After the king gets the concubine, he loves and pities together, and the rain and dew are evenly wet, isn't it killing two birds with one stone? ”

Ah Feng chuckled: "Love and pity, rain and dew?" Aiqing, you will whitewash the peace, that is just your wishful thinking. You turn over the history books, the king of a country is also a mortal, not a god, and he is even more lacking. The way of governing the country and governing the family is the same, paying attention to virtue and integrity. The people of Pingtou marry wives and spoil concubines, wives hate concubines and resent, children fight with each other, complain, and cannot be at peace. The widow is the same, even if he maintains the peace on the surface, he still can't put an end to the killing machine, and he will eventually repeat the mistakes of the past, his wife is separated, and his flesh and blood are cannibalistic. At that point, Bento was really alone. ”

Weigu broke out in a cold sweat: "Weichen is frightened, and the king is serious." ”

Ah Feng shook his head again and again: "The widow is serious? Don't Aiqing know? Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. On the surface, the monarch is killed and taken away, and he is infinitely respected, which is actually the most unfortunate thing in the world. Throughout the ages, the most tragic battle, the most ferocious war, and the bloodiest place for killing are the harem of kings. Why is it difficult to have the love of husband and wife, the love of father and son, and the righteousness of brothers in the harem? In the final analysis, isn't it because of polygamy that the desire for power has intensified? ”

Weigu Khan didn't dare to say: "Your Majesty, the minister is just talking about the old calendar, talking about the ancient precepts, and doing everything he can to help the king achieve a virtuous king." ”

Ah Feng smiled slightly: "Aiqing, the widow is also talking about the old calendar and ancient precepts. Didn't the ancients say, 'For the benefit of the people, there is no need for the ancients; You don't have to follow the rules'. In a word, change and innovation are the root of moving forward

This power. Whoever rejects change and rejects innovation will fall behind the times and be eliminated by history. In this case, the widow should follow his father's example and bring forth the new, rather than being self-contained and sticking to the ancient rites. ”

Qinghe's skills are getting deeper and deeper, and his ear power is already excellent, so he only feels that it is interesting to hear, so he simply whispered in Ah Long's ear: "I only know that the ministers of the past dynasties have advised the emperor not to be heavy on the country." Today, when I saw a strange monarch and minister, I was surprised to do the opposite. ”

Ah Long was full of entanglements for the son of Tiger and had the heart to ask Qinghe, but he hesitated for a while and felt that it was really difficult to speak. Hearing what Qinghe said, he had to answer casually: "Today's matter, Ah Feng is not the first case, and Xishu has also had it." Zhuo Yun was also besieged by several 'iron-clad ministers', and later Zhuo Zhuo entered the palace. ”

Qinghe sighed with emotion: "I see, I always thought that Zhuo Yun was 'really yearning'. It turns out that being born in ancient times, polygamy was worshipped, and being a woman is really a sadness. Sumire tea Bingxue is smart, and she can't get a single-minded person, let alone me and other incompetent people? ”

Ah Long's face sank like water: "I'm not dedicated enough to you?" Where did you give birth to so much indignation? It's all you I'm used to on weekdays, so that you don't know the blessings in the blessings. ”

Qinghe Wan'er smiled: "Yes, Long Dada, you are an exception." But human nature is greedy, the more love you give, the more insatiable I am. It's better to marry a proper wife quickly and let me suffer a lot of grievances, maybe I can accept it and dare not complain again. ”

Ah Long's face was worried: "With you, I can't live in peace." If I add another one, won't I be restless? ”

Qinghe smiled slightly, and the words he said were incompatible: "The wind and clouds are unpredictable, and the world is impermanent." There are many beauties like clouds, and the children and grandchildren are full of joy. It's rare to be like Aaron from the beginning to the end. ”

Ah Long seemed to have an understanding, and the words he said did not match the preamble: "Actually, Zhuo Yun still loves Sumire Tea deeply. Zhuo Yunsheng was a little cold, and a little infatuated, but he went against his heart to become the king of Shu, which created his dual character of enthusiasm and indifference. In fact, although he and Ah Feng have very different temperaments and circumstances, they are also somewhat similar in their dedication to love. ”

Qinghe only felt incredible: "Ah Long, what did you say?" Is he obsessed with love? If this is the case, how could he abandon the gold and jade to fall into the dust and mud to pamper Zhuo Zhuo? ”

Ah Long smiled slightly: "Qinghe, men and women are different, Zhuo Yun favors Zhuo Zhuo, which does not mean that he loves Zhuo Zhuo." ”

Qinghe was very confused, and secretly said in his heart: "Ah Long, do you spoil me or love me?" "I want to ask but don't dare to ask, and my heart is not full of anxiety.

Listening attentively, Wei Gu still argued on the basis of reason: "You have the talent of the world, and it is a model of change and innovation, and Weichen does not dare to make an axe." Weichen did not hesitate to disobey the Holy Hearing today, firstly, for the king's plan, but also for my Nanyu. ”

Ah Feng raised his eyebrows: "Oh, how are you going to plan?" ”

Wei Gu put his heart sideways and told the truth: "The day before yesterday, Bo Ying took the initiative to marry the king, and offered the princess Borou of Dongwu. Not only coincidentally, Weichen also heard that Princess Yuanzhu of Xishu was young, but she was also smart and wise. Weichen thought that sooner or later, my Nanyu would take over Eastern Wu and Western Shu, wave the Northern Tartars, and unify China. If the king is a great king, why not take precautions and marry two emperors, get a beauty today, and seek the world in the future? ”

Qinghe was taken aback when he heard this: "This Borou is okay, after all, she has grown up, but Zhuo Yun's daughter Yuanzhu is only eight years old, and she has also become a political bargaining chip?" ”

Ah Feng laughed loudly: "Weigu, when it comes to the truth, you finally tell the truth." Thou art a good cunning and calculating for the widow. It's just that Dongwu is a hundred-legged insect, stiff but not dead; Xishu is the bamboo of Bashan, which is thriving; The Northern Tartar is a bloodthirsty lion, and its bestial nature remains unchanged. We are fighting for power now, but it is not a good time. As for when the world will be unified, as for where Nanyu will go, the widow has his own measure, Aiqing is still early, it is better to kneel down first. ”

Seeing Wei Gu Nuo retreating, Ah Long slowly walked in with his wife.

Looking carefully, the south study room of Yu Tiandian is pure and elegant, as before. The difference is that there are several more books, "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian" are placed in a conspicuous place, and in addition, there is another "New Theory of China", which is written by Yu Yang.

Ah Feng was dressed in white, a simple gauze satin dragon robe, as simple as before. The afternoon sun shines through the snow-white paper window and falls on his face, a handsome young man's face, reflecting the fragrance of books.

Qinghe looked at his brother, not only in awe, but also in fear for the first time in his life: "I only think of my brother as a great merciful and benevolent, knowledgeable, Fengjiao and Yuanqiao." Today, I learned that he is heroic, ambitious, and ambitious. ”

Ah Long looked at Ah Feng, and he was also full of smiles: "Throughout the ages, the sky has collapsed, and Ah Feng has been an emperor through the ages." Obey everything, seek everything, the law of the line, the prosperity of etiquette and music, the system of the field, the teaching of the detailed order, the world is not prosperous; The battle must be won, the attack must be taken, the different sides are exotic, and Muhua is called the king of the world. ”

Ah Feng was undressing, and when he saw Ah Long and his wife, he was surprised and delighted, and smiled slightly: "Ah Long, I haven't seen you for seven years, and I burst into tears when I think about it." Unexpectedly, when I saw you today, you changed your face and said this, which really scared me cold

Sweat. As he spoke, his movements did not stop, and in an instant he became a half-sleeve, as if he wanted to play football when he was a child.

Qinghe said with a smile: "Ah Long just spits the truth, how dare he deceive the king?" Besides, their Xishu is not like our Nanyu, but they are really like a tiger. Zhuo Yun likes to listen to good words the most, if Ah Long can't say it, where can he be accommodated? was driven home by Zhuo Yun early. ”

Ah Feng couldn't suppress his laughter: "It's best to drive you home, just go back to our Nanyu." In our Nanyu, where can we use a companion like a tiger? Presumably you saw it just now, they are all fiercer than tigers. Look at Na Weigu, I duel with him for half a day, not only fighting wits and courage, but also fully armed, and I am sweating profusely in the heat. ”

Qingheer heard Ah Feng say, "It's best to drive you home, just go back to our Nanyu." I couldn't help but be happy, knowing that Ah Feng was thirsty for talents, and wanted to recruit Ah Long. But when he took a closer look at Ah Long, his face was indifferent, and he immediately concluded that Ah Long had no regrets and could not be moved, and he would rather be angry in Xishu than be proud in Nanyu, so he hurriedly picked up the second half of Ah Feng's words: "Brother, don't be annoyed, Wei Gu is an iron-clad outspoken minister, although he is conservative, but he is not a wicked person." ”

Ah Feng shook his head again and again: "He is not a wicked person, but he does evil things." Full of the way of the emperor, eat people without spitting out bones. Full of thieves of emperors, thieves are awe-inspiring. Full of the emperor's prostitution, prostitution is free. ”

Ah Long comforted each other: "Ah Fengxiu wants to worry, he is also good for you." You don't like to steal prostitutes, just stay away from them and keep yourself clean. ”

Ah Feng was annoyed: "That being said, his mouth can bring the dead to life, and I don't know how much patience he has to spoil me." ”

Qinghe smiled: "Next time, Weigu will be verbose with my brother, and my brother doesn't need to reason with him, just speak with facts." ”

Ah Feng was very puzzled: "Xiangyue, I underestimated you, you also know how to speak with facts?" ”

Qinghe smiled toothlessly: "Brother doesn't know, although Xiangyue doesn't know anything, she also began to study history." Throughout the ages, the monarch seems to be admirable and infinitely beautiful, but in fact he is the most dangerous, and he is really the so-called emperor, high above. The danger is high, and the road is long and obstructive. ”

Ah Feng smiled slightly: "This sentence is true, how many people covet the position of monarch?" The assassination of the king, the seizure of the throne and the usurpation of power are constantly staged, and it is naturally unbearable from a high place. ”

Qinghe snorted with a puffed face: "It's not just a high risk, it's simply impossible to prevent." I carefully checked the history books and calculated that the average life expectancy of kings in the past was only 39 years. There are not a few who have been murdered, assassinated, or usurped power, as high as four or five out of ten. This is still secondary, and it is difficult for the few who can live to the end of their lives. What is the reason? There are too many concubines and consumes essence and blood, one of them; The pressure is great, and the accumulation of work becomes a disease, which is the second; There is no normal love between husband and wife, the love of father and son, and the righteousness of brothers, which are frustrated in the heart, and human nature is distorted. ”

Ah Long smiled when he heard this: "Qinghe, your brothers and sisters are so easy to meet, as soon as you come up, you will be attracted and sensational, what is your intention?" ”

Qinghe smiled slightly: "Ah Long, I just want to tell Brother Feng that if Weigu comes to annoy him again, Brother Feng will speak with facts, suppress him with data, and tell him that he is monogamous, physically and mentally beautiful, and lives a long life. ”

Ah Feng couldn't help laughing anymore: "Xiangyue, you are the first high-risk person in the past, people don't even dare to be arrogant, you dare to speculate on your longevity." ”

Qinghe smiled: "Brother Feng, if you are Shujun Zhuoyun, how dare I say this?" Just because you are my brother, I want you long live, long live, so naturally I have to be careful to remind and remind. In fact, is it not just the monarch who is in danger? The king's wife, children, and children are even more at risk. ”

Ah Feng looked at his sister with a smile: "Is this true?" Or is Xiangyue distorting the facts and deceiving people indiscriminately? ”

Qinghe grinned: "I just miss my brother and sister-in-law, Ning Yuan brother and sister, as well as myself and Sister Ming, so I forget to sleep and eat, quote scriptures, and learn from the classics." Every brother thinks about it, the harem fights openly and secretly, and there are many murderous opportunities, and the first high-risk person is the daughter of the monarch. In all dynasties, the average life expectancy was only 24 years. It's pitiful, but this year is my natal year, and I need to avoid danger at all times. The second most at-risk person is the son of the monarch, with an average life expectancy of only 29 years and a survival rate of less than half. What's more, in some dynasties, the average life expectancy of princes is only 15 years, and the survival rate is less than 3 out of 10. ”

Ah Feng hurriedly asked: "Since you have calculated so accurately, can you know the average life expectancy of ordinary Li people?" ”

Qinghe replied: "Not counting the untimely death, the average life expectancy of the people of Li is 58 years old; Of course, as an official or official, the living conditions are good, and they are good at self-preservation, and the life expectancy may be even higher, even as long as 65 years on average. ”

Ah Feng laughed: "Xiangyue, you lady Lang is doing a good job, you have nothing to do all day long, your little head has nothing to think about, and countless can be counted, so you will study these side ways." ”

Qinghe said angrily: "Who said I have nothing to do? I am committed to supporting women and children. I also translated "Warring States Policy", "Historical Records", "Hanshu", "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and "Zizhi Tongjian" into countless easy-to-understand and relish stories, so that women can enjoy it and children can enjoy it. ”

Ah Feng laughed: "You can devote yourself to children's education, and you are indeed immeasurably meritorious. It's just that I'm full of hesitation, how can you be worthy of women's education? Have you been upgraded from a child to a woman? Can you understand them? Can you think what they think, think what they think? Will they listen to you? ”
