In the Qianyang Palace, the faces of Condensation and Condensation also dimmed. Unconsciously, it has been five years since Liu Ziqiu came to this world, and Vanilla, a little girl who was only twelve years old at the time, has grown into a slim girl. In fact, it's not just vanilla, the twin sisters that Liu Ziqiu brought back from the Xie family were even older. And vanilla's words about her older years also poked at the sore spot in their chests.

Gao Xiu'er was a little strange: "What new rules does the husband want to promulgate?" ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "I have to edict the world, and a woman can only marry after she is seventeen." ”

According to the ancient rites, a woman can only marry after fifteen. But since the Wuhu Chaohua, these rules have long been broken, early marriage has become a common practice, and people who marry at the age of eleven or twelve abound. When a girl reaches the age of seventeen or eighteen, she is already an old girl, and even if she marries, it is difficult to be satisfied.

Xie Muyu was just seventeen years old, so she thought that Liu Ziqiu had specially formulated a new rule to comfort her, and this new rule was afraid that it would be resisted by most people, but it would damage Liu Ziqiu's prestige, so she hurriedly said: "The slave family knows the husband's kindness, this new rule is still forgotten, and it must not be forced." ”

Gao Xiu'er nodded thoughtfully and said, "Sister Muyu, you are too worried, I think the new rules of the husband are very good." ”

She was already fifteen years old when she gave birth to Liu Sigen, and only she knew the pain and danger she had suffered, but Lin Qiao'er and Hua Yun's previous birth and rearing were much smoother. How many girls in the world died at the age of twelve or thirteen due to difficult childbirth, one corpse and two lives? Only when she has really experienced it can Gao Xiuer understand why Liu Ziqiu never wanted her to have a child so early. If this new rule is implemented, I don't know how many young lives will be saved, but it will be crucial for a country whose population has plummeted in the wake of the turmoil. However, as Xie Muyu was worried about, if this new regulation is forcibly introduced, I am afraid it will be difficult, and Gao Xiuer is actually a little worried.

Liu Ziqiu had already laughed: "Don't worry, my husband knows that habits are not formed in a day." This new rule will not be forced, but it will be rewarded. If a woman marries after the age of seventeen, the court will reward her with two taels of silver and one piece of cotton. ”

Although such a reward is not rich, it is enough for a family of three for a year. In addition, many girls from ordinary families have to participate in the work of the family before they get married, and marrying later is actually quite beneficial to those women's families who are careful. With this policy, I believe that the promotion of the new regulations should be easier.

"It's still the husband who has a way." Gao Xiu'er glanced at Xie Muyu with a smile, but asked again, "Can you invite the two sisters of the concubine to come over as well?" ”

"Then bring them over." Liu Ziqiu knew that Gao Xiu'er was talking about Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan, and he also knew that these two had been staying in the palace. The two of them stayed in the palace for three years, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in their twenties, and it was not appropriate to force them to marry. For Gao Xiuer, there is nothing that Gao Xiuer can't figure out at all. It's just that Liu Ziqiu is from a later life, and there must be a process of adaptation, and feelings still need to be cultivated slowly.

The round table is large enough, and it is still spacious for a few more people to eat, but the meaning to Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan is very different. Xie Xiangwen looked at his cousin with a strange hairstyle, and breathed a sigh of relief, the distance between himself and her finally began to shorten. But Yuan Ziyan aimed her eyes at Liu Ziqiu from time to time, her stargazing technique was not effective, and there should be no more problems this time.

Liu Ziqiu seemed to feel her gaze, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Miss Yuan, do you know a Mr. Yuan Tiangang Yuan?" ”

Yuan Ziyan was distracted, and he didn't hear clearly for a while, and hurriedly said, "Who is the emperor asking?" ”

Liu Ziqiu had to repeat again: "Mr. Yuan Tiangang Yuan." ”

Yuan Ziyan's face suddenly became weird: "He, he is the second uncle of the people's daughter." ”

Liu Ziqiu slapped his thigh violently, and suddenly realized: "Oops, I should have remembered it a long time ago!" Miss Yuan, do you know where he is? ”

Indeed, these two people know fortune-telling, and they both have the surname Yuan, even if someone tells Liu Ziqiu that the two of them are father and daughter, it is not surprising. At the beginning, Yuan Tiangang wanted to give Liu Ziqiu a hexagram, but Liu Ziqiu refused. Later, when Liu Ziqiu wanted to ask him if he could return to the future, he disappeared again, and it is said that he took his newly recruited apprentice Li Chunfeng into the mountains to cultivate. The two of them made a mistake, and the hexagram finally did not come to pass. But Liu Ziqiu later encountered another incident, which was also related to Yuan Tiangang.

That time, Liu Ziqiu climbed to the top of the mountain to pick Ganoderma lucidum to treat Gao Xiu'er, and found a strange little note, saying that it was Li Dangxing. The news of the Ganoderma lucidum tree was told to him by Sun Simiao, but Sun Simiao said that he did not find it himself, but heard rumors. Later, Liu Ziqiu heard Gao Xiuer say that the one who revealed the news of Lingzhi to Sun Simiao was Yuan Tiangang. Indeed, with Sun Simiao's little effort, he can't climb to the top of the mountain. Therefore, Liu Ziqiu suspected that it was Yuan Tiangangbu's bureau, and always wanted to ask him what was going on.

It's a pity that since then, he has never seen Yuan Tiangang again, nor has he seen Sun Simiao. However, when I met Daoxin for the second time that day, I heard him say a lot of very mysterious things, which made Liu Ziqiu uneasy. Although he didn't believe in fate, he wanted to find Yuan Tiangang even more at this time. In fact, Yuan Ziyan can also be counted, but Liu Ziqiu is not very confident about her level.

Hearing Liu Ziqiu inquire about Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts, Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said with sincere fear: "My father and the second uncle are at odds, and they haven't been in contact for many years, and the folk girl doesn't know where he is. What the people said is true, and I hope the emperor will see it. ”

Liu Ziqiu didn't expect his casual words to make Yuan Ziyan nervous like this, and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, it doesn't matter if I know whether I know or not, don't take it to heart." ”

Yuan Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Although her second uncle was only at odds with her father, there was no contradiction with her, and he was still her elder, but today's question by Liu Ziqiu scared her into a cold sweat. She was most worried that Liu Ziqiu would misunderstand her and deliberately conceal Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts, if Liu Ziqiu was disliked because of this, she was afraid that she would dislike the second uncle even more than her father.

……

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended for an hour, Hua Yun and Lin Qiaoer had to take care of the child, and Gao Xiuer and Mu Duoli were pregnant, so they went back to the dormitory early to rest. The rest of the people, Liu Ziqiu is not easy to alienate any of them, so Suo Xìng stayed in the Qianyang Palace to keep the New Year. Among these people, only Tuoba Qianyu is Liu Ziqiu's serious concubine, and even Xie Muyu's name has not been decided, but no one is willing to leave easily.

Although there is no chūn night to watch in this era, there is no shortage of women in the palace who are both sè and artistic, and Liu Ziqiu watches live performances. The two sisters Xie Muyu and Xie Xiangwen also showed their piano skills, which opened Liu Ziqiu's eyes. Although this night was not upside down, it was also fulfilling.

When the day dawned, the girls became sleepy and went back to the palace to rest. Liu Ziqiu was still in a state of vigour, and came to the Daye Hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.

This is also Liu Ziqiu's deliberate arrangement. Today is the first day of the new year, and it is not a formal court meeting, but just a meeting between monarchs and ministers, just like a group worship in later generations. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty naturally inevitably sang praises of virtue and compared Liu Ziqiu to the ancient sage Yao Shunyu soup, but Wei Zheng frowned.

"Wei Aiqing, if you have anything important, just play it." Liu Ziqiu had already noticed Wei Zheng's expression. Indeed, Wei Zheng was sitting at the front, and it was difficult for him not to pay attention to it.

Wei Zheng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, today is the New Year, the whole world celebrates, there are some things that the minister should not talk about, but since His Majesty asked, the minister did not dare not say it." ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "You and I are called Junchen, and we are actually brothers, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Wei Zheng was in debt and said: "Your Majesty, Hebei and Shandong suffered a major drought last year, and Lingnan suffered another flood. In the west, Daman always has a heart of disobedience, and in the east, Goryeo has repeatedly violated our borders. Internal worries and external troubles, thinking of danger in peace, Your Majesty must not just listen to beautiful words! ”

Liu Ziqiu nodded again and again, and said, "What Wei Aiqing said is very true! As the Son of Heaven, I should think of all the people in the world, worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joys of the world after the world. Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, you can often say that I have made mistakes, and I also have a heart. If there is something to say, there will be a reward! ”

All the civil and military forces are in charge, but obviously, most of the voices are perfunctory, and there are probably not a few who really have the courage to point out Liu Ziqiu's faults.

Liu Ziqiu understands the truth that speed is not reached, everything he does is only to influence everyone in a subtle way, and he will not rush to achieve results, nor will he implement it forcefully. Liu Ziqiu didn't care about the reaction of the civil and military forces at all, waved his hand, and said: "Although I have announced that from the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it is a national holiday, but that is only said to the local officials, and your holiday should probably be over." I plan to use troops against Goryeo immediately! ”

Although it is now the first month, Liaodong is still dripping into ice and is not suitable for large-scale military operations. Hearing this news, the ministers were in an uproar, and Liu Yu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, when the Yellow River is thawed and the soldiers are used, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why those nomads in Mobei chose to attack my border in the winter season? Because after this time, they will have to go to herd horses and sheep, which is related to their livelihood for a year. In the same way, after the opening of Chūn, it was the season of sowing, and if the Goryeo Rebellion could not be quelled very early, the agricultural work of the entire Liaodong would be delayed. There is another reason, soldiers, sophistication! Everyone should understand. "&!-End of Chapter-&
