Qin Jiyan summoned Lord Feng at this time, naturally to talk to him about the matter of establishing a queen.
As soon as Sir Feng entered, before he could salute, he heard Qin Jiyan say: "I have already written the decree for the establishment of the Empress. Sir Feng will go back and place the seal and send someone to announce the decree."
Master Feng was startled for a moment. Although he had already made a guess in his mind, he still asked: "I wonder whose daughter you are?"
"Why should Master Feng know about the consultant?" Qin Jiyan said with a hint of ridicule, but Master Feng's expression remained unchanged and he shook his head seriously: "Your Majesty, she can't do it!"
"Why?" Qin Jiyan was not angry when he heard this, but asked very calmly.
Master Feng raised his head and glanced up. Seeing that Qin Jiyan was not angry, he said, "Other than being a woman, she doesn't qualify for anything."
A queen is no better than a concubine. A queen must honor the world and set an example for women in the world. Throughout the ages, courtiers have been very cautious in selecting queens and would never allow a woman with a bad reputation to become the queen.
Of course, if the emperor only accepted Gu Qiancheng as his concubine, although the courtiers would say a few words, they would never stop him and make the emperor unhappy over such a trivial matter.
"I will make whoever I want to be my queen. This is my private matter and I don't allow others to tell me what to do." Qin Jiyan said forcefully. Master Feng admitted that facing the strong and uncompromising Qin Jiyan, he was afraid in his heart.
, but no matter how scared he was, he couldn't give in.
"Your Majesty, it is not a private matter for you to establish a queen. If you like her, you can definitely accept her as your concubine. If you insist on making her your queen, no one in the civil and military circles in the court will agree.
It is not impossible for you to offend the courtiers of the court for her, but have you ever thought about how many years you can protect her without the support of the courtiers of the court? Moreover, you have just ascended the throne, and at this time, you have to shoulder the responsibility with the courtiers of the court.
, the gain outweighs the loss.”
Lord Feng tried his best to persuade Qin Jiyan, hoping that Qin Jiyan would change his mind, but Qin Jiyan did not say anything and just looked at Lord Feng, making it clear that he wanted Lord Feng to give in.
Master Feng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I know that you have made up your mind, but you have just ascended the throne. At this time, you insist on making her your queen, and you still refuse to accept the concubine. All the ministers in the dynasty will resist to the end even if they die.
I can't even hold a ceremony to establish the queen, is this really what you want?"
Qin Jiyan nodded lightly, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously, and after a while he said, "Do you have any good suggestions, Master Feng?"
Phew... Hearing Qin Jiyan relent, Lord Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "If the Holy Emperor insists on establishing Qiancheng as his queen, it is not impossible, but you'd better accept courtiers and famous ladies as concubines.
The harem was used to appease the dissatisfaction of the courtiers."
"Accepting a concubine? No." Qin Jiyan refused without thinking.
Master Feng's idea is too bad. If he decides to have a concubine, Gu Qiancheng will definitely dare to resist and disobey the order. When the time comes, the first person to agree to him making Qiancheng his queen will definitely be Qiancheng himself.
"Then... Your Majesty, please wait two years before establishing a queen, at least until the situation is stable." Mr. Feng himself only married one wife. According to the rules of the Feng family, all descendants can only marry one wife, so Mr. Feng said to Qin Jiyan
If you don't accept a concubine, you won't be unhappy at all.
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. He himself can't stand so many women making trouble at home, so how can he persuade the emperor to accept concubines, right?
"Master Feng, this is a good suggestion. How can I delay this for two years?" Qin Jiyan asked casually.
Although he was eager to marry Gu Qiancheng, he would not be too hasty and would not push Gu Qiancheng to the forefront when the situation was unstable and let the courtiers accuse Qiancheng of being charming and causing harm to the country.
If he wants to make Qiancheng his queen, he will definitely pave the way for her first and clear the obstacles for her to ascend the throne.
He originally planned to marry Gu Qiancheng first and then succeed to the throne, so that it would be easier for him to wait for him to succeed to the throne. However, after returning to the capital, the emperor's actions forced him to take action in advance, so that he did not arrange the arrangements for Gu Qiancheng.
The way to the back seat.
"I remember that the saint was poisoned before and his body was damaged. If a famous doctor diagnoses it and says that the saint can recover by abstaining from women and taking good care of himself in the past two years, the courtiers will not dare to urge the saint to establish a queen and take a concubine in order to continue the royal bloodline."
Many people know that Qin Jiyan was poisoned and suffered physical damage.
To put it bluntly, Qin Jiyan was pitiful.
At that time, he was poisoned, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that he would have difficulty in having heirs in the future. Normally, such a diagnosis would never be exposed, and the Emperor also ordered that it should not be spread to outsiders, but...
In one day, news about Qin Jiyan's heir's difficulties came out, and many ministers knew about it. It was also because of this incident that even though the Supreme Emperor was optimistic about Qin Jiyan's succession, none of the courtiers supported him, and all of them turned to him.
The kings of Zhou and Zhao.
An imperial grandson who has no heirs, no matter how capable he is, he has no inheritance rights in the eyes of many people.
Although the Emperor later asked the imperial doctor to clarify that Qin Jiyan was not without heirs, but that heirs were in difficulty, and that Qin Jiyan was still young and would recover in a few years, not many people believed it.
As for the person who spread the rumors?
Mr. Feng remembered that the Supreme Emperor did not seem to have ordered an investigation at that time. Anyway, the matter just passed by in confusion.
Although more than ten years have passed and everyone has gradually forgotten about this matter, Qin Jiyan has never had a woman or heir around him for so many years. If Qin Jiyan mentions this matter again, the courtiers will definitely not be suspicious.
Master Feng's proposal was exactly what Qin Jiyan wanted, but... two years was too long. He couldn't wait two years, and Qiancheng couldn't wait two years either.
However, Qin Jiyan would not tell Master Feng these words. Qin Jiyan nodded and said: "In a few days, I will let the people from Yaowang Valley diagnose me." Tang Wanjin should have returned from Yaowang Valley. I hope he will stay.
One or two people were alive, otherwise he would have to find someone to pretend to be a miracle doctor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Master Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Jiyan listened to his advice.
He was really afraid that Qin Jiyan would insist on making Gu Qiancheng his queen now.
Master Feng didn't need to think about it to know that if Qin Jiyan proposed to establish a thousand cities as his queen, all the ministers in the dynasty would desperately oppose it just for their own interests. When the two sides fight, it will be a bloody storm.
The emperor has just ascended the throne, and many things have not yet stabilized. At this time, not only Northern Qi and Xihu will take advantage of the chaos, but even the Supreme Emperor will take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
It would be really nice to be able to withdraw it, or put it off for a while.
Seeing Master Feng looking relieved, Qin Jiyan couldn't help but laugh, but it wasn't the time to laugh yet, he still had important things to do.
"Your Majesty, I have succeeded to the throne. It's time to reward the courtiers. You can prepare a list for me tomorrow." It is common practice for emperors to reward courtiers after they succeed to the throne. However, Qin Jiyan has a special status. Before he rewards the courtiers, he should do the most important thing.
