In Qinzheng Hall, Prime Minister Qin slowly walked out of the hall, and a middle-aged man was half a step behind him.
"There are only ten, isn't that too few?" Chen Chong said with a frown.
He represents the Chen family and several other families this time. When it comes to college admissions, the director of the college, Li Yi, can act recklessly and lawlessly, but Your Majesty, you must give these people an explanation.
These ten extra places are the explanation.
"The total number of officials and dignitaries in the court is only thirty-four. Ten is already a lot." Prime Minister Qin shook his head and asked, "How has your highness been doing these days?"
"I just met you yesterday." Chen Chong said: "His Highness has recovered well and his temperament seems to have changed a lot. I heard from the two chamberlains that His Highness has spent most of his time reading these days. When he learned about the School of Calculation,
There was no reaction."
"Your Highness, he has finally grown up, but it's still a little late..." Qin Xiang sighed and said in his heart.
The expression on his face was a little happy, but more of a regret.
He never thought that the King of Shu would be a wise monarch, but he also did not expect that he would be so incompetent.
Now that the Qin family has been tied to the King of Shu, even he is unable to make any changes. However, during this period of time, the wind direction in the court has begun to change. His Majesty seems to have no intention of appointing the King of Shu as the crown prince.
They have always been His Majesty's most loyal supporters, but now even many ministers in the court who originally favored the King of Shu have left them...
Sometimes he also wonders, when did the King of Shu start to have the upper hand and gradually fall to this point?
Suddenly, as if feeling something in his heart, Prime Minister Qin raised his head and saw a young man walking towards the Qinzheng Palace, led by two chamberlains.
Seeing that figure, Chen Chong's face darkened, and a fierce glint quickly appeared in his eyes.
…
…
In the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Jing casually threw a memorial aside and asked, "It will be August soon. If I remember correctly, Mingzhu should also be eighteen, right?"
Changde stood behind him and replied: "Yes, it has been eighteen years."
"These people are more anxious than me." Emperor Jing shook his head and said, "However, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. I will wait until I ask Mingzhu about it."
A princess who is not yet married at the age of 18 will be laughed at by everyone in the world. How can a majestic eldest princess of a country not be able to get married?
"What has Mingzhu been doing these past two days?" Emperor Jing picked up another memorial, flipped through it, and suddenly asked.
"The princess has been going to the Imperial Medical Office every day these past two days." Changde thought for a moment and then added: "His Highness has also asked several midwives in the palace several times. It seems that the Queen is also involved in what the princess does.
.”
"The Imperial Medical Office..., midwife?" A look of confusion appeared on Emperor Jing's face, "And the Queen..."
As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, a servant walked in from the door and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Yongle wishes to see you!"
…
…
"Father, I have something to report to my father." Li Mingzhu handed a memorial to a chamberlain, with a tired look on his face. It was obvious that these two days had not been easy.
Although Mingzhu was born as a girl, she cared more about state affairs than those adult princes, and was the only child who could share her worries about state affairs. Seeing her serious expression, Emperor Jing calmed down slightly and said, "Send it up!"
Changde walked down, took the memorial from the chamberlain, and respectfully handed it to Emperor Jing.
The memorial was not long, and Emperor Jing finished it quickly. He closed the memorial, took a deep breath, stood up, looked at Li Mingzhu and asked, "Is this serious?"
"The imperial physician ordered us to wait outside the palace," Li Mingzhu said.
"Xuan"
"Proclamation of Imperial Medical Order"
…
…
"Uncle Li, come in quickly, don't keep your Majesty waiting." A chamberlain looked at Li Yi and said with a wry smile.
"What's the hurry? What's the hurry? Didn't you see that the imperial doctor's order has just been announced? Your Majesty is busy at the moment and has no expression..." Li Yi waved to him, walked to the corner of the corridor, and looked at his hands.
The figure crossed her arms and turned her back to him, saying, "Why, you're still angry..."
"Don't listen, don't listen, you bastard chanting sutras..." Princess Shouning covered her ears and shook her head like a rattle.
"------"
"Who taught her this?" The expression on Li Yi's face was a little depressed. Loli is hard to mess with, and even harder to coax!
"I don't like you anymore, please go away, I don't want to see you again." Tsundere Loli finally put down her hand and wiped her tears and said.
Seeing that there was still mist in her eyes, Li Yi felt a little guilty. She was just an eleven-year-old child. What did an eleven-year-old child know? She might just be greedy and playful. She was not interested in being able to take her
Doing these things only creates a slight dependence on yourself.
This is just a little girl's fantasy. Isn't it a little too cruel to have her dream shattered like this?
"How about I take you shopping today?" Li Yi asked tentatively.
The tsundere loli remained unmoved.
"Watch a play, "The Legend of White Snake", "Journey to the West", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl"?"
Princess Shouning twisted her body, turned around and looked at him with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and said, "You have to apologize to me."
Finally letting her speak, Li Yi felt relieved and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Then he became a little depressed, what was wrong with him?
"Pa!" The tsundere loli slapped her hand on the wall, looked at him, and said with a "ferocious" look on her face: "Do you think just saying 'I'm sorry' is enough?"
Li Yi looked at her blankly. With this move, could it be that all women, no matter ancient or modern, old or young, are self-taught?
He knelt down a little tiredly and said, "Then tell me, what do you want?"
"I want candied haws, I want Xizhilang, I want chocolate, I want ice cream, and I want a white rabbit..." Tsundere Loli twirled her fingers and said, "By the way, I also want Barbie..."
Li Yi looked at her with tears in her eyes while trying to remember something, and couldn't help but doubt her life.
He was actually ------ tricked by an eleven-year-old girl?
…
…
"Back to your majesty, what the princess said is absolutely correct. In our country of Jing, when a woman gives birth, it is like going to hell. Therefore, three or four out of ten people die. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be in danger."
"The Nei Jing" says that when a woman is fourteen years old, her "Ren meridians are open and her Taichong meridians are strong." After a woman is fourteen years old, she has the ability to give birth. However, if the Yin is broken too early, it will damage the blood vessels. The best age for childbirth is
, it will be postponed..."
The explanation given by the imperial physician Liu Jimin was very complete and thorough, but the figures on the memorial in Emperor Jing's hand were even more shocking.
A woman who gives birth in the year of the cardamom has a 40% chance of dying, but if this is postponed a few more years, it will drop to less than 10%.
Thinking that so many women died innocently every year in the dynasty, Emperor Jing looked at Liu Jimin and said angrily: "Since you know this, why don't you report it as soon as possible? What does the Imperial Medical Office do?"
The imperial doctor ordered Liu Jimin to hurriedly prostrate himself and said, "Your Majesty, if the princess had not come to the imperial medical office for verification, I would not have been aware of this matter. I have failed in my duty. Please punish me!"
All he could say at this time was that it was rare for a woman to die from childbirth after she was in her prime. However, due to various reasons, the country was always developing its population, so how could a woman wait until she was twenty?
What about getting married?
If he used this as an excuse, wouldn't it mean that the culprit of all this is His Majesty?
"Forty percent, forty percent..." Emperor Jing murmured a few words, shook his head and said, "It's too high. Didn't the Imperial Medical Office think of a way to reduce casualties during production?"
Postponing the age of marriage for women involves too many things and is not just a matter of an edict. In contrast, Emperor Jing still hopes to solve the matter from other aspects.
Liu Jimin thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible for me to ask Uncle Li first about this matter?"
Emperor Jing then remembered something, waved to a chamberlain at the entrance of the palace, and asked, "Where's Li Yi, why haven't you arrived yet?"
"Back to Your Majesty." The chamberlain said with a bitter look on his face: "County Uncle Li is coaxing Princess Shouning outside."
