In Qinzheng Hall, Prime Minister Qin walked out slowly from the hall, a middle-aged man was half a step behind him.
"There are only ten, isn't it too few?" Chen Chong frowned and said.
He is representing the Chen family and several other families this time. In terms of college admissions, the superintendent Li Yi can act recklessly and lawlessly, but His Majesty, you must give them an explanation.
The ten extra places are the confessions.
"All the officials and dignitaries in the court add up, but there are only thirty-four people, and ten is already a lot." Qin Xiang shook his head and asked, "How is Your Highness doing these days?"
"I just visited yesterday." Chen Chong said: "His Highness has recovered very well, and his temper seems to have changed a lot. I heard from the two servants that His Highness spent most of his time reading books these days. There was no reaction either."
"Your Highness, he has finally grown up, but it's still too late..." Qin Xiang sighed leisurely, and said in his heart.
The expression on his face was somewhat relieved, but more regrettable.
He never thought that the king of Shu would be a wise monarch, but he never thought that he would be so unbearable.
Now that the Qin family has been bound together with the King of Shu, even he is powerless to make any changes, but during this period of time, the wind direction above the court began to change. He has always been His Majesty's most loyal supporter, and now even many court ministers who were originally inclined to the King of Shu have left them...
He sometimes wondered, since when did the king of Shu gain 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 servants.
Seeing that figure, Chen Chong's face darkened, and a fierce light quickly appeared in his eyes.
…
…
In the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Jing casually threw a memorial aside, and asked: "It will be August soon, if I remember correctly, Pearl should be eighteen, right?"
Chang De 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 can't be delayed any longer. I'll talk about it after I ask Mingzhu."
An eighteen-year-old unmarried princess will make the world laugh at her. How can there be a reason why the princess of a country cannot marry
"What has Mingzhu been doing these two days?" Emperor Jing picked up another memorial, flipped through it, and asked suddenly.
"Princess goes to the Imperial Medical Office these two days." Chang De thought for a while, and added: "The midwives in the palace have also been questioned by His Royal Highness a few times. It seems that the Queen's wife is also involved in what the princess is doing. "
"Emperor Medical Office..., midwife?" Emperor Jing's face showed doubts, "And the Queen..."
As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, a servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Yongle is asking to see you!"
…
…
"Father, my son has something to report to Father." Li Mingzhu handed a memorial to a servant, with a tired look on his face, obviously these two days have not been easy.
Although Mingzhu is a daughter, she cares more about state affairs than those adult princes, and is the only child who can share her worries in state affairs. Seeing her serious face, Emperor Jing slightly restrained his expression, and said, "Present!"
Chang De went down, took the memorial from the servant, and handed it to Emperor Jing respectfully.
The memorial was not long, and Emperor Jing finished it quickly. He closed the memorial, took a deep breath, stood up and looked at Li Mingzhu and asked, "Is this true?"
"The Imperial Physician Order is waiting outside the hall." Li Mingzhu said.
"Xuan~~~"
"Announce the Imperial Medical Order~~~~"
…
…
"Uncle Li, go in quickly, don't make Your Majesty wait any longer." A servant looked at Li Yi and said with a wry smile.
"What's the rush, what's the rush, didn't you see that the imperial physician's order was announced just now? Your Majesty is busy right now, so he doesn't wink..." Li Yi waved to him, walked to the corner of the corridor, and looked at the doctor with his hands clasped in his arms. chest, turned his back to his figure, and said, "Why, are you still angry..."
"Don't listen, don't listen, bastard chanting scriptures..." 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. Lolita is hard to mess with, and even harder to coax!
"I don't like you anymore, you go, I don't want to see you again." Tsundere Lolita finally put down her hand and said, wiping away her tears.
Seeing that there was still mist in her eyes, Li Yi felt a little guilty. She was just an eleven-year-old child. What does an eleven-year-old child know? She might just be greedy for food and playfulness. Doing these things has produced a little dependence on myself.
This is just a little girl's fantasy, isn't it a little too cruel to let her dream be shattered like this
"How about taking you shopping today?" Li Yi asked tentatively.
Tsundere Lolita was unmoved.
"Go to the theater, "The Legend of the White Snake", "Journey to the West", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl"?"
Princess Shouning twisted her body, looked back at him with 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 was a little depressed, what was wrong with him
"Crack!" Tsundere Lolita slapped the wall, looked at him, and said with a "violent" face: "Do you think 'I'm sorry' is enough?"
Li Yi stared at her in a daze, this trick, no matter ancient or modern, no matter how old or young, all women are self-taught
He squatted down a little tired and said, "Then tell me, what do you want?"
"I want candied haws, I want Xizhilang, I want chocolate, I want ice cream, I want white rabbits..." Tsundere Lori wrung her fingers and said, "By the way, I also want Barbie dolls..."
Li Yi looked at her with teary eyes while trying to remember something, and couldn't help but doubt life.
He actually—was tricked by an eleven-year-old girl
…
…
"Returning to Your Majesty, what Her Royal Highness said is not wrong at all. In Jingguo, when a woman gives birth, it is like walking through the gate of hell. Therefore, there are three or four out of ten people who die. The younger the age, the more dangerous it is. " It is said in Neijing that when a woman is fourteen years old, her Ren pulse is open and the Taichong pulse is strong. After a woman is fourteen years old, she will have the ability to give birth. However, if the yin breaks too early, it will damage the blood. , but also postponed..."
The imperial physician ordered Liu Jimin's explanation to be complete and thorough, but the numbers on the memorial in Emperor Jing's hand were even more shocking.
For a woman to give birth in the year of cardamom, there is a 40% chance of dying, and if it is postponed for a few more years, it will be reduced to less than 10%.
Thinking of the fact that so many innocent women died every year in the kingdom, Emperor Jing looked at Liu Jimin and said angrily, "Since you know about this, why didn't you report it as soon as possible? What is the Imperial Medical Office doing?"
The Imperial Physician ordered Liu Jimin to bow down hastily, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, if the Princess hadn't come to the Imperial Medical Office to investigate, I would not have realized this matter, it is my negligence, please punish me by Your Majesty!"
He can only say this at this time, women give birth after the prime of life, it is very rare for a woman to die due to dystocia, but due to various reasons, the country is always developing the population, how can the woman wait until the age of 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 muttered a few words, shook his head, and said, "It's too high. Didn't the Imperial Medical Office think of a way to reduce the casualties during childbirth?"
Postponing the age of marriage for women involves too many things, and it is not just a matter of an edict. Compared with it, Emperor Jing still hopes to solve this matter from other aspects.
Liu Jimin thought for a while and said, "May I ask Li Xianbo first about this matter?"
Only then did Emperor Jing remember something, he waved to a servant at the gate of the hall, and asked, "Where is Li Yi, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"Return to Your Majesty." The servant said with a bitter look on his face, "Mr. Li is coaxing Princess Shouning outside."
