Competition between civil and military officials is not a bad thing for the emperor.
If civil servants and military generals complement each other without any contradiction, the emperor should feel panic.
However, as the founding emperor who unified the world and was at the peak of his majesty, Song Xuan did not need to deliberately create any civil and military conflicts to maintain the balance of the court.
After pondering for a while, he raised his hand and called Eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was standing behind him, and said: "Draw up a decree and canonize Zhou Zhiruo as the founding queen of the Wu Dynasty!
Liu Qinglian and Han Xiaozhao are the imperial concubines!"
The eunuch Bingbi quickly accepted the order and bowed down.
Song Xuan's move really deceived Li Shanchang and others.
In the past, Your Majesty was asked to marry a daughter-in-law, but you have always been reluctant to express your opinion. But today it is better, marrying three at once. Could it be that Your Majesty has settled the three empresses in the harem today, and no longer has to worry about who should be the empress?
Although Xu Da and Lan Yu felt somewhat regretful.
In their eyes, Liu Qinglian had a military background and had a noble temperament. If she could sit in the position of queen, it would be of great benefit to generals like them.
But unfortunately, His Majesty has already had an idea in mind, and now that the decree has been issued, there is really no way to change it.
After following His Majesty for the past two years, they have gained some general understanding of the young founding emperor.
Their Majesty is not a moody and willful person. When things happen, he likes to listen to the opinions of his subordinates before making the final decision.
But, the emperor is the emperor.
Before a decision is made, all civil and military officials can make comments. However, if a decision has been made and a decree has been issued, if one dares to be dissatisfied at this time, it will be a challenge to the emperor's authority.
"Your Majesty!" Li Shanchang said at this time: "Your harem is still too empty now, which is not conducive to the reproduction of heirs. Shouldn't the draft be put on the agenda?"
Song Xuan shook his head, "No, three is enough, I won't be able to handle any more!"
Pfft~~
The wine in Lan Yu's mouth sprayed on Xu Da, who seemed to be choked and kept coughing.
Song Xuan glanced at him and said calmly: "Are you kidding me?"
Lan Yu quickly shook her head and apologized: "My lord, I have been disrespectful to you, please forgive me!"
Song Xuan chuckled twice, "Get up, I've said it before. There is no distinction between king and minister tonight. You can speak whatever you want and laugh whenever you want."
Li Shanchang continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, I still recommend that you start the draft. It would be best to add a few more concubines to the harem. You are still young, so there is no need to cultivate your character now."
Song Xuan waved his hands and said: "We will talk about this later. At this stage, it is not the time to enjoy ourselves. Let the people live a good life first and then talk about other things!"
Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Song Xuan, who was sage and not sage, didn't care at all at the moment. After drinking half the night, he felt that his whole body was on fire.
As a man from two lifetimes, he is going to do something big tonight!
At the end of the dinner, after drinking some sobering soup and waiting for the alcohol smell on his body to dissipate, Song Xuan drove to Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace is the residence of the queen. Song Xuan issued an edict at the banquet. After Zhou Zhiruo received the edict, he moved here that night, accompanied by eunuchs and maids.
In Kunning Palace, in the bedroom, Zhou Zhiruo had already bathed and changed clothes and was sitting by the bed waiting.
Beside the bed, two palace maids were waiting, talking to the newly promoted queen.
"Your Majesty, you are so lucky. I heard that you and Your Majesty have known each other since they were young."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and nodded, "When I first met His Majesty, his killing swordsmanship was so beautiful that I was attracted to him right away."
The maid trembled when she heard this and stuck out her tongue in fear.
Sure enough, it was no fluke that the person in front of me became the queen. Other boys and girls met each other through love and affection, but this one started by killing people.
With a squeak, the palace door was pushed open, and Song Xuan stepped in with a faint smell of alcohol on his body.
"Your Majesty!" The two maids knelt down and saluted.
"Well, you go down first!" Song Xuan motioned for the two of them to step back.
However, the two palace maids said in fear: "Your Majesty, I wonder if this servant has done something wrong and doesn't want us to serve you?"
Um?
Song Xuan had a question mark on his face, what is this and what?
Why do you want to stay here to serve us? You guys are pushing us behind while we do our work?
Zhou Zhiruo chuckled lightly, it seems that the senior brother has never experienced anything between men and women. Let alone the emperor, even in ordinary wealthy families, when the master and his wife have sex, they will always have maids to wait on them.
Although she found it funny, Zhou Zhiruo still ordered the two palace maids, "You guys go down and have a rest. I will have some private talk with His Majesty. You can just come and serve me early tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
The emperor and empress said so, and they had no choice but to leave with some regret.
They originally had a glimmer of hope, hoping that since the Queen couldn't bear the favor, they could follow suit and share some of the pressure for the Queen, but it seemed that their dream was shattered.
After the two left, Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile: "In the folk, they are the girls who live in the wife's room. Senior brother, you just kicked them out just now, which will naturally make the two of them feel scared."
Song Xuan suddenly said: "That's it. How about I call them back again?"
Zhou Zhiruo gave him a charming look and said softly: "Brother, I miss you so much!"
Song Xuan laughed, took this pretty girl from the Hanshui River into his arms, and squeezed her cute and shy face, which was as smooth as suet.
"The scars on my face are no longer visible. It seems that the ointment Liu Bowen found for me is really useful!"
Zhou Zhiruo whispered: "Yes, I owe Master Liu a favor."
Song Xuan's big hands kept wandering around Zhou Zhiruo's body, feeling her rising and falling chest, and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife. Naturally, this favor is repaid by being a husband, so you don't need to worry about it!"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and a strong wind blew up, extinguishing the red candle on the window sill.
"Junior sister, it's getting late, we should have a rest!"
Zhou Zhiruo's face turned red with embarrassment, she lowered her head and took out a piece of white silk cloth from her sleeve robe, then carefully spread it in the middle of the wedding bed, then closed her eyes and lay down.
"Senior brother, Zhiruo really loves you so much. If I can marry senior brother in this life, Zhiruo will die without any regrets!"
"Later, senior brother, please show some mercy."
This shy and cute style immediately made Song Xuan's blood surge.
Originally, when he had cultivated to this stage, he already had extremely strong control over his body, but when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, he still couldn't control it.
"Haha!" Song Xuan smiled heartily, and then his big hands kept dancing, and pieces of clothing were thrown out.
