Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Cheng already said: "Human energy is limited, and the same goes for parents. If there are more children, there will inevitably be some omissions and shortcomings in education, so three or two is the best, and the children can have each other.
Brothers and sisters who are supportive will not be too indifferent in their relationship, and they will receive the most resources since childhood."
Resources are limited, let alone a family, even a family. Whether it is connections or money, there are only so many. If there are few children, everyone can get a lot. But when there are more children, they will get a lot.
Less.
The emperor naturally knew this. He was still the king of a country, and the fiefdoms given to his children were also different, some were thin and some were thick.
The emperor stared at Bai Cheng thoughtfully, and while he was pondering, he saw three more little heads quietly peeking out from the screen.
emperor:……
He pressed his hand, motioned Bai Cheng to sit down, and then asked, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"
Of course there is no more. Isn’t this the only point of view on the coming and going of heirs? Everyone has almost said it, and the emperor asked: "What do you think of the monarch and his ministers as husband and wife?"
Everyone's hearts immediately tightened, those who knew focused on the word husband and wife, and those who didn't know focused on the word monarch and minister.
So the former briefly mentions the monarch and his ministers, and then goes from the monarch to the husband and wife; the latter briefly mentions the husband and wife, and then extends from there to the monarch and his ministers.
In their view, kings and ministers have subordinates, and so do husbands and wives.
The ethics in the world are that ministers obey the emperor, wives obey their husbands, and princesses and consorts, the princess is the emperor and the consort is the minister. The monarch comes first, then the consort, then the husband and wife. Naturally, the princess is the superior and the consort is the inferior.
In fact, this is also the case. No matter what the actual situation of the married princesses is, on the surface, the princess is the top and the consort is the bottom.
Of course, students who don't understand the reason for coming here won't think about this, let alone imply that they are more talking about monarchs and ministers.
Bai Cheng separated the two.
Although he knew the difference between men and women from books when he was a child, and later learned that husband and wife were subordinate, the environment in which he lived since he was a child made it difficult for him to have such a clear feeling.
Not to mention that he always had the strong Zhou Man by his side, but even without Zhou Man, this kind of thing would rarely happen between his parents.
They would occasionally quarrel, but at most his father would slam the door and walk out, and his mother would cry and go to his grandmother to make the decision...
It seems like his father always admits his fault to his mother.
Thinking about it this way, how can a wife obey her husband?
It is clear that the male protagonist is outside and the female protagonist is inside.
If you meet someone like Man Bao, it doesn't necessarily matter who is the outsider and who is the inside. Doesn't Bai Shan often worry about Manbao's food, clothing, housing and transportation now?
Thinking of this, Bai Cheng couldn't control the expression on his face and frowned secretly.
The emperor sat at the top and could see everyone's expressions. When he saw him, he called his name and asked, "Bai Cheng, do you think otherwise?"
Bai Cheng suddenly felt like he was being called upon by his husband. He stood up and couldn't help but quietly glance at the screen. When he met three pairs of eyes, he immediately took it back.
When the emperor saw it, he calmly said, "Say it!"
Bai Cheng grabbed his finger and found that he seemed to be unable to answer tactfully, so he could only tell the truth, "I feel that monarchs and ministers naturally have superiority and inferiority, but husbands and wives do not."
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh?" he said, and asked curiously, "Husband and wife are not inferior? But etiquette has long stated that husband is superior to wife, so why, do you think the etiquette of a saint is not advisable?"
These words were a bit serious, but Bai Cheng said: "But the sage also said that husband and wife are one body, and the "Book of Rites" also said that marriage is a good marriage between two surnames. The wife respects the husband, but the husband must not insult the wife."
The emperor looked at Bai Cheng intently and asked: "What do you think of the husband as not being an insult to his wife?"
Bai Cheng wanted to scratch his head, but he didn't dare under the emperor's gaze, so he pulled his sleeves in his sleeves to relieve the tension, "If you care for your wife thoughtfully, you won't humiliate her, right?"
The emperor couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard what he said so childishly, and simply asked him, "Did your parents quarrel?"
Bai Erlang nodded, "Occasionally noisy."
The students on the side frowned. How could they talk about their parents' private matters?
The emperor continued to ask, "What does your father usually do when he quarrels with your mother?"
"Going to sleep in the study room?" Bai Erlang said with some uncertainty. Mainly because his parents wouldn't tell him specifically even if they had a quarrel. Several times, Bai Shan realized something was wrong and asked him about it before he knew that his parents had quarreled.
emperor:……
In front of the two daughters behind the screen, he couldn't ask too detailed questions. At this moment, he felt that it was really inconvenient for Mingda to have them here, and there was nothing they could talk about.
So he winked at Gu Zhong, who quietly retreated, went around a corner to catch the three of them behind the screen, and whispered to his lips: "Two princesses, Your Majesty will continue to take the exam.
School boys, the princesses should go to the back hall to sit and rest first?"
While talking, he winked at Zhou Man, and Man Bao could only hold Ming Da's hand.
Mingda didn't realize that Manbao was in trouble, so he nodded to Gu Zhong and took Changyu and Manbao to the back hall to wait.
The three of them quietly left, and no one except a few people noticed that they were there.
After they left, the emperor started talking to the eighteen students again, and at the same time asked people to serve them wine.
Yes, the emperor also planned to make them drink. Relying on his status as emperor, he made excuses to let them drink three large glasses of wine.
The emperor wished them a prosperous future, so they naturally wanted to return the favor, so they drank six glasses of wine over and over again.
Affected by Zhou Man and Bai Shan, Bai Erlang also disliked drinking. He also couldn't understand what was so good about such bitter and spicy wine.
At present, he only thinks fruit wine is delicious and flower wine is average.
So he had an uncontrollable expression every time he drank a drink. After six glasses of wine, his whole face was already flushed, and he was in a trance.
Bai Shan and others thought of many ways to deal with him, but they didn't expect that the emperor would drink alcohol, so they didn't have any hangover medicine or anything.
After drinking at this time, Bai Erlang sat motionless in his seat.
The emperor sat on it and looked at everyone's expressions. They all said that the quality of wine is like the character of a person. I will see how their wine quality is today.
The emperor smiled and continued to find excuses to enjoy the wine.
The emperor loved wine, so naturally he also liked his son-in-law who drank well. When he saw Bai Cheng, who he liked a lot, looked drunk, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
Gu Zhong was speechless for a while, and while he was adding wine to the emperor, he quietly advised: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yuanzheng said that you should not drink too much, as old wounds will relapse."
The emperor said: "I have something serious to do."
Gu Zhong continued: "This is still the main hall. If Master Wei knew that you gathered people to drink in the main hall..."
The emperor's hand froze, and he put down the wine glass and said humbly: "This is also a school exam. Okay, I'm almost done drinking."
Gu Zhong responded with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to change your clothes first before going to the back hall? The Queen seems to be here too."
The emperor couldn't sit still anymore. Although the queen didn't stop him from drinking, she didn't like him drinking too much. She would complain about him for a long time every time he smelled of alcohol.
The main reason is that the smell of alcohol is not good for her health, and it seems to arouse her gas problems.
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes turned red, and Bai Cheng, whose face turned red, became more pleasing to the eye.
