Chapter 145: The Emperor

"Speaking of marriage."

At the banquet, Gu Simiao seemed to suddenly think of something, chuckled, and asked the empress: "Your Majesty is now at the age when it is time to get married, I don't know when Your Majesty plans to draft and recruit the emperor to settle the country?" ”

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

Gu Simiao is right, don't look at her only sixteen years old this year, but she has reached the age where she will be urged to marry.

Generally speaking, the age of the vast majority of princes and emperors will not exceed eighteen years old, and they are generally married before the age of sixteen, and because she has lived in the shadow of the Empress Dowager Zhao for a long time, no one cares about her lifelong events.

And now, she is in power, and it is impossible for the courtiers to ignore 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 suddenly made her realize a big problem.

When the other courtiers heard this, they also spoke.

"Your Majesty, General Gu is right, this draft is indeed going to be put on the agenda."

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

"General Gu has recaptured the treasury that was stolen by the demon queen, and now that the treasury is quite full, it's time to move forward with this."

“.”

Everyone said a word, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

After all, this is a major event to stabilize the country, it is absolutely politically correct, and it is not a matter of taking sides with great risks such as the selection of the crown prince.

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

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

"The emperor's business, I'll talk about it later."

The empress said expressionlessly: "Although the court is now decided, the impact of the demon queen's chaos for six years has not been eliminated, the world is not stable, and the people are still living in dire straits. ”

There was a hint of resistance in his words.

"Your Majesty's words are inappropriate."

But it was Liu Dongyang who stood up.

"The matter of the emperor is not just a matter of children's affection, but a major matter related to the stability of the world, which cannot be delayed, for the livelihood of the people, please make a decision as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Ping on the side continued: "What Liu Shangshu said is very true, Your Majesty, even if it is a common people's family, also follows the concept of [there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great], Your Majesty is responsible for the well-being of the people of Great Xia, and such a major event must not be careless. ”

"Your Majesty will get married as soon as possible, give birth to the prince and emperor, and have a prince, and the world will be truly stable."

Others persuaded him.

Gu Simiao's question directly ignited this powder keg that would explode sooner or later.

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

found that Lu Chen was chatting with the Cangming Saint King, and he had no intention of speaking on this matter.

His brow furrowed even deeper.

Then she was completely silent, and at the same time said silently in her heart: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about with Lu Chen, the conversation is so exciting. ”

Jiang Chengdao: "? ”

Hearing the empress's transmission, he only felt inexplicable.

Aren't you talking about the emperor now? Why did you send me a message all of a sudden?

And it's just a draft, and it's not about getting married right away, and the audition doesn't need to be checked by him as a brother, so it has nothing to do with him

When thinking like this, Jiang Chengdao still replied honestly: "Talking about Fu Huan, before Fu Huan suddenly realized that he was attacked by a traitor when dealing with the Heavenly Tribulation, although he was finally saved with the help of some righteous people with strong martial arts, but after all, he was affected by external forces, and Lu Chen wanted to know if this influence would leave any sequelae for Fu Huan's breakthrough to the Unified Realm." ”

"Oh, that's it."

The empress responded calmly, and then looked at Lu Chen, her lips opened lightly, and she called softly.

"Lu Qing."

Hearing the empress call himself, Lu Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at the empress.

Then, without waiting for him to speak, the empress asked directly: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen was suddenly a little speechless.

What do you think? Didn't I sit and watch?

Do you really think I'm Li Yuanfang?

Shaking his head, Lu Chen said casually: "Your Majesty, this is your family matter, you can make your own decisions, and Weichen has no opinion on this." ”

Hearing this, a touch of subtlety flashed in the empress's eyes.

At this time, Liu Dongyang suddenly opened his mouth and said to Lu Chen: "Lu Zhishi, Your Majesty's family affairs are state affairs, now the emperor's position is high, the world is uneasy, as a courtier of Yongchu, we have the responsibility to persuade the king, this is a major matter related to the national fortunes of Great Xia, we should persuade Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

As soon as he spoke, others also expressed their positions, only the only pavilion elder Yan Song was silent as always, like an old monk sitting still, without saying a word.

Hearing them say this, Lu Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I'm not a timid person, since you're so insistent, then I'll say a little bit about my own opinions on this matter."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Lu Chen.

The empress's small hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly.

"Lu Qing, please speak bluntly, no matter what Lu Qing says, I will not be punished for my words."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen arched his hand towards the empress, and then in the eyes of everyone, he said slowly: "Weichen thinks that the matter of the emperor should be postponed for two years. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

But the empress's little hand was slightly loosened.

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Lu Chen said indifferently: "Because in Wei Chen's opinion, a woman's twenty-eight years are not considered adults, and all organs in her body may not be fully mature. ”

"And giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, especially for underage women, even in the palace, there are sometimes concubines who die because of dystocia, Your Majesty is now blessed by all the people, and there is no room for the slightest accident, so Weichen believes that Your Majesty is not yet the time to get married, and it will not be too late in two years."

"Ridiculous!"

As soon as Lu Chen's words fell, Qian Yiqian snorted coldly.

"Since ancient times, women can get married after the age of marriage, how can it be that when it comes to Lu Zhishi's mouth, it has become an inappropriate thing, is it that Lu Zhishi's talent is higher than that of the ancient sages?"

"It's always been that way, right?"

Lu Chen smiled.

"I think that today's people don't have to be inferior to the ancients, and what the ancients could do, today's people can also do, or even surpass them, just like this woman's marriageable age, and I don't agree with what the ancient sages said."

"Of course, there is no basis for empty words, and there will be no purpose in the future, 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, just send someone to collect the situation of Luo Jing after giving birth to a woman who got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and compare it with the situation of a woman after giving birth after the age of twenty.

Hearing Lu Chen's conclusive words, even if they felt that Lu Chen's words were very fantastical, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Kavin, very serious Kavin... My mind is blank, please let my little brother recover a little.
