398, the pain of childbirth
For a while, the front hall was quiet, and everyone including the emperor was waiting for Gu Qianxue's answer.
Gu Qianxue said, "Of course, I didn't expect you to be able to speak comprehensively. Instead, I asked you to study with questions and spend a month to find the answer."
The prince became interested, "Then, what about the third question?" Unlike the profound truths of the grand masters and grand masters, Gu Qianxue's question was simple and direct, thought-provoking, and could be described as profound and simple, even the youngest prince could understand it. It wants to express the thoughts, and each question is not fancy, straightforward, and hits the nail on the head.
"The third question: Nanyue is not the only country in this world. There are also countries such as Chuyan and Beili. The problem of not growing enough food is a problem that every country will encounter. So, how do they do it? It's dealt with." Gu Qianxue finished speaking, and then smiled relaxedly, "Of course, I'm neither a grand master nor a grand tutor, although I know a few baskets of Chinese characters, that's all. Leave homework, but just ask three questions for everyone to think about after dinner."
The emperor said, "No, these three questions can't be regarded as casual chats. People and taxes are very important to the country. As members of the royal family and future leaders of Nanyue Kingdom, you must understand these three questions. .As Qian Xue said, I will give you a month to answer these three questions and hand them over to me."
"Yes!" Including the crown prince, the brothers and sisters of the royal family, big and small, hurriedly cheered up and waited solemnly.
The emperor pointed at Gu Qianxue with a smile, "Your idea is good, throw these fundamental issues of the people to them, and from now on when they hold power, every word they say and every decision they make will directly use how much food. Let’s do the calculation, good, good, good.” He said three good things in succession.
Gu Qianxue shook her head, "No, Qianxue does not agree with the emperor's opinion."
"Oh? Why don't you agree?" The emperor was very curious about Gu Qianxue, and really wanted to open his mind to see what kind of whimsy was going on inside.
Gu Qianxue rolled her eyes, "For example... Forget it, let's not talk about it, this question is inappropriate and not dignified for the emperor."
The emperor's appetite was successfully whetted, "Don't regard me as the emperor, just tell me what you think," afraid that Gu Qianxue would not say anything, so he added, "There are no monarchs and ministers here today, so speak freely."
Gu Qianxue wanted to talk about this question, but she didn't bother to use any important principles, besides, those principles were really like scratching an itch, and it took a long time to get to the point. Just like the same swear words, "Er mother, maidservant!" is far inferior to the simple violence of "X your mother".
Seeing that the emperor took the bait, Gu Qianxue was straightforward, "Your Majesty, do you think it hurts for a woman to give birth?"
"..." Not to mention that the emperor was speechless, even the concubine Qin, the crown prince, the second prince, and everyone else were speechless. Only a few younger ones looked at the emperor curiously.
It can be said that from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign countries, Gu Qianxue was the first one who dared to ask the king of a country this question.
Let’s not say that this question has nothing to do with national affairs, and that it is meaningless without nutrition. Let’s just say that in the age of patriarchy, gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, let alone the delivery room
Concubine Qin frowned, feeling that Gu Qianxue was taking a big joke, why would she ask such a question? He secretly looked at Gu Qianxue with reproachful eyes, telling him to apologize quickly.
Gu Qianxue received Concubine Qin's hint, but pretended not to see it, forced a face of "ignorance" and innocence, "Your Majesty, Qianxue just said that this question is inappropriate and not solemn, but you must let Qianxue say it. "Shift the responsibility completely.
She doesn't care if the emperor is angry or not, she either doesn't say anything and just sings praises, or else she raises all the issues to the naked eye. Gu Qianxue hates that kind of thankless behavior. Tired myself to death.
The emperor's face darkened for a while, and then he quickly shook his head helplessly, "So the condom is here, that's all, I will answer you, it is natural for a woman to give birth to pain."
Gu Qianxue said with a playful smile, "How painful is it? The emperor will give you an example."
The emperor thought for a moment, "Thousands of arrows piercing the heart?"
Gu Qianxue spread her hands, "Forgive Qianxue, I don't think it hurts to have a thousand arrows piercing the heart, let alone 10,000 arrows, even if a single arrow goes straight into the heart, that person is bound to die. How can a dead person feel pain? Please use what you have experienced before. pain to describe."
"..." The emperor was speechless.
Not to mention Concubine Qin, even the Crown Prince's eyes disapproved, thinking that Gu Qianxue was a bit aggressive, the emperor was not an ordinary person, he really offended the emperor, a random offence against the majesty would be enough to chop Gu Qianxue's head off.
Maybe it was fresh because no one asked him before, the emperor was not angry, but racked his brains to think about it. After a long while, he said, "I still remember the time when I was the crown prince and I accompanied the late emperor to hunt. The horse was startled and ran into the woods, where the branches and leaves were dense. I was thrown off the horse until my ribs were broken, and I recuperated on the couch." Three months, if you think about the pain of a woman giving birth, it's nothing more than that."
It takes one hundred days to hurt muscles and bones. In ancient times without X-rays, general bone injuries required bed rest for three months.
Gu Qianxue nodded, and then asked the second prince, "Second prince, how painful do you think it is for a woman to give birth?"
The second prince had long expected that this embarrassing problem would eventually fall on his own head, and he secretly thought that only a woman and a villain would be difficult to support, "My prince's leg was broken, and the pain was so painful, it should be similar to that." In the future, he will not dare Offended Gu Qianxue, this woman is a lunatic, she can even ask the emperor about having a child, what else is she afraid of
Gu Qianxue didn't delay on the second prince, but changed her target, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
"..." The prince thought that the second prince would be able to give the answer because Gu Qianxue was embarrassing, but he didn't expect to have to answer this question himself. "I'm practicing martial arts. Once when I was fighting with a martial artist, I didn't hurt my internal organs very much. It should be that painful."
Because of the prince's words, Gu Qianxue suddenly thought of King Li, and recalled that Eunuch Shao once said that King Li was hunted down many times in the early years, and his robes were stained red with blood... hurriedly shook her head, why would she want to be that crazy. "Where is the fourth prince?" asked the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was fifteen years old, just the age when he knew little about the relationship between men and women, so he blushed all of a sudden, "I... I haven't been seriously injured, but once I got intestinal disease, the pain made me sweat profusely, it should be like this Bar."
"Where's the fifth prince?" Gu Qianxue was persistent.
The fifth prince is eleven years old, "I have the same opinion as the fourth prince."
"Where's the sixth prince?" Gu Qianxue asked.
