"I'm not young anymore, and it's time for a big marriage. After the big marriage, the national teacher will also serve as the queen, and the rest will remain the same. You don't need to live in the palace, and you can still come and go freely. The harem is still managed by the queen mother and concubine Xian. A new concubine is selected, and older maids can also leave the palace to marry." Pei Shao chose a big court meeting, and when everyone was about to say something, a thunderstorm exploded.

This thunder blasted not only the officials, but also Bai Zimu.At this moment, Bai Zimu was still in a daze. When he heard him say this, he looked at Pei Shao. He didn't expect him to announce his wedding today. Wasn't he always very cautious before?

It sounds very interesting to be a queen or something.

The rest of the people had expected this. After all, Bai Zimu had been attached to Pei Shao from the very beginning. They would often see the emperor and the national teacher behaving intimately. They knew that the two must be a couple. Otherwise, how could the national teacher be dedicated? Do your best to help the emperor?But they didn't expect Pei Shao to speak so directly, and they were almost dumbfounded for a while, not knowing what to say.

It just so happened that Prime Minister Lin was not here today, and the deputy prime minister dared not speak because of the cheating in the scientific examination.Some of the courtiers who were involved in the imperial examination case could not open their mouths for fear of being implicated.Therefore, they lost their backbone for a while, and they didn't know who would take the lead in persuading them, so they fell silent for a while, and only after a while did someone come out to speak.

"Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a man to be the queen. How can your majesty be so childish? Besides, what is it to be a queen? The queen's mother is in the world, and she needs to assist the harem. There has never been a reason for an official to concurrently serve as an official." , stood up by himself.He had nothing to do with what happened recently, so he dared to speak.

"Isn't it more important for the national teacher to assist me in governing the country than other things? He is an immortal, how can he be trapped in a mere imperial palace? Apart from the national teacher, I will no longer have other concubines. There are simply no new people in the harem, and there is no need for a national teacher." Take care, it's enough to be managed by the queen mother and the concubine." Pei Shao only responded to his last sentence, as if he hadn't heard the previous sentence.

He made it very clear that there would not be any concubines other than Bai Zimu.

Since Pei Shao overthrew the regent and took all the military power into his hands, he has always spoken toughly. Although he is not yet a weak crown, he already has the demeanor of the former emperor in his prime.But no matter how strong he is, there are still many people rushing to refute him, especially when someone has already spoken, the rest of them will express their opinions one after another.

"It was unreasonable for Your Majesty to be appointed as the national teacher at that time, how can you stand up as empress now?" an official surnamed Tan came out and said.

"Oh, then when I became the national teacher, I didn't see Tan Qing come out to solve my difficulties at that time. If the national teacher hadn't helped me get rid of the regent, Tan Qing would still be able to talk to me like this?" Pei Shao didn't expect that they would still Turning out the matter of the previous conferment of the national teacher, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, is talking about this kind of person.

Pei Shao himself was only pretending to be sullen, in order to scare them and make them talk less.As a result, they turned over old accounts, and Pei Shao was really angry now.

"...No matter what, you can't make the national teacher the empress. It's wrong for your majesty to only love the national teacher. You should get married as soon as possible, marry a woman as the queen, and canonize the concubine to spread the branches and leaves for Daning and pass on the blood." Although the official was blocked by Pei Shao, he felt uneasy seeing Pei Shao's appearance, but since they all came out to speak, they had to finish speaking.

"Oh, should the candidate for the empress be named Tan?" Pei Shao looked up at him, and the official surnamed Tan took a step back.

"Wei Chen dare not."

"I have made up my mind and let the queen mother choose a good day and auspicious day. As for the heirs, I have also thought about it. I am still young now, and I am not in a hurry to establish a heir. I will choose the sons of the clan to adopt in the future, and I will choose the best." Pei Shao was thinking about Feng Pei. Xu is the emperor's younger brother, but he is so young, and the age difference with Pei Xu is not too big, so he gave up the idea.

In the future, he is of course inclined to establish Pei Xu's child, but it is unknown how it will develop in the future. He mentioned that Pei Xu will undoubtedly lead the blame to him, and it may make him go astray in the future, so he did not say anything. .

Adoption of clan children as heirs has existed since ancient times. At the end of a dynasty, many emperors were in poor health and could not give birth to children, or many of them gave birth but died young, so they had to die.

When he said this, the people below stopped talking again.They were all prepared and brewed a lot of words, but as a result, too many things happened recently, and Prime Minister Lin was not around, so they didn't dare to persuade Pei Shao anymore except for those two.

Back and forth, they didn't let Pei Shao become the queen because the law of the ancestors cannot be changed, and there is no precedent for a man to be the queen, so it can't be said after all.

And because Pei Shao was really angry because he mentioned the matter of the national teacher, it also made them feel guilty and dare not say anything.

The official who said that he shouldn't be appointed a national teacher never knew that without Bai Zimu, Pei Shao's road to bring down the regent would be extremely difficult, and he also knew Bai Zimu's support for Pei Shao.However, they are used to standing on the high ground of morality, they just find Bai Zimu not pleasing to the eye, feel that the national teacher is a disaster for the country and the people, and use the matter of the former national teacher to support their views.

They can't say no to Pei Shao in the court, but they will take action immediately when they go back.Pei Shao's refusal to accept the concubine is to mobilize the interests of the officials. They can send their own daughters to the palace. If they can give birth to a royal heir, then the whole family may follow in the future.

Bai Zimu was surprised at first, but then kept watching with cold eyes, watching everyone's performance.He didn't speak until Pei Shao stopped talking and everyone was silent.

"I don't care about the positions of the national teacher and the queen." He looked at Pei Shao, raised the corners of his lips, and blinked at Pei Shao.

When the people below heard what the national teacher said, some of them were secretly delighted. Since they said it was not rare, then let it go. If the national teacher is really good to the emperor, they should not make him difficult.

"But what Pei Shao gave me, I won't give it up to others." Bai Zimu kept looking at Pei Shao while speaking, and Pei Shao looked at him with a gentle smile on his face.

The people below wanted to curse even more. They usually talked less to Bai Zimu, but they didn't expect him to call the emperor by his name.And Pei Shao didn't feel angry at all, but looked at him even more dotingly.

This national teacher is really a disaster for the government and cannot be left behind.

"I don't need to discuss my family matters with you. I said it today to respect you who have always been loyal to me and protected my foundation in Daning. I have never heard of these words today, and neither have all the ministers. However, if there is a woman of the right age in the family, make a marriage as soon as possible, and there is no need to wait any longer."

"In a dark place like the harem, you guys who are fathers and brothers are willing to let women suffer."

As Pei Shao said, he glanced down coldly.

"Uncle will come to me after the imperial court." Pei Shao said, and then asked the eunuch to announce his withdrawal from the imperial court and left.

When the officials came down to the court, the atmosphere was dull. Those officials who were involved in the fraud case did not dare to speak. Others were so angry after this, but they didn't know what to say.

Pei Shao treats people fairly generously, pays attention to reason and evidence in his actions, and punishes officials for committing crimes in accordance with national laws, and has never created unjust prisons.Objectively speaking, he is a good emperor.

But this emperor didn't follow the ancient etiquette, he locked his mind, and treated them with a tough attitude, which was unbearable.

It is not only the regent who will take advantage of Pei Shao's young age to try to interfere in politics, to control the emperor and interfere in the government, but there are many people.

After court, Pei Shao returned to the study, and he let out a slow breath when he heard Bai Zimu close the door behind him.He was also very nervous when he said these words just now, for fear that someone would come up with reasons that he could not refute.

Fortunately, these people have become more honest recently, so they didn't say a few words.

No matter what happens to him in the future, let's prepare for the big wedding now, what if they don't realize it and just do it?When it's done, they won't be able to survive him and Bai Zimu, and it will be too late if they want to change.

"Zimu, touch it." Only then did Pei Shao have time to share his nervousness with Bai Zimu.

Bai Zimu put his palm on Pei Shao's chest, feeling the rapid and powerful beating of his heart, feeling his own heart beating faster and faster, his eyes were full of Pei Shao.

Pei Shao, who is usually gentle with him, likes Pei Shao, who is not angry and arrogant, like the one in the court. He really wants to be his queen. From now on, Pei Shao will only belong to him, and no one can steal it Walk.

Pei Shao put his hand on Bai Zimu's and looked at him. The national teacher was always so good-looking and nice to speak, but what he said today might drive them to death.

The two of them didn't say a word, they were already silently warming each other, which made it seem that Xiaoyan, who came to disturb him, didn't wink.When he heard Pei Shao let him in, he opened the door, and saw that the eyes of the two people were still glued to each other, so he knew that he had come at the wrong time.

But it was Pei Shao himself who sent Uncle Guo to come, so it can't be attributed to him.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Guo is begging to see you." Xiaozhuo whispered guiltyly, seeing Pei Shao nod his head, he quickly backed out. He didn't want to be such a villain, so let Uncle Guo disturb Pei Shao's atmosphere.

When Uncle Guo didn't come over, Bai Zimu quickly kissed Pei Shao, and then sat down as if nothing had happened.

Just as Pei Shao was about to fight back, he heard heavy footsteps, it was his uncle coming.

Uncle Guo is the empress dowager's direct elder brother, and he looks a lot like Pei Shao. His current official position is not high. Of course, this is the result of the empress dowager's deliberate suppression, and it is also the cause of the discord between the empress dowager and the Xue family.Since Pei Shao ascended the throne, this situation has not changed, but he has been given a vacant position and his salary has been increased a little.

He didn't expect that Pei Shao would call him over today, and after entering the door, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, and saw Bai Zimu sitting inside.He guessed what Pei Shao was going to say in his heart, and was ready to answer.

"Uncle, is grandpa in good health recently?" Pei Shao greeted.

"Your Majesty, my father is in good health. I mentioned you yesterday, and I miss your Majesty very much." The uncle Guo replied that he and Pei Shao had never been close. up.

"Oh, I'm afraid Grandpa scolded me yesterday." Pei Shao was still smiling when he spoke, but Uncle Guo broke out in a cold sweat.He had a grudge against Pei Shao in his heart, since Pei Shao knew the situation at home well, why bother to mention him again.

"Your Majesty was joking. All the previous events were just misunderstandings. My father misses His Majesty very much, and also misses the Queen Mother."

"I invite my uncle to come today, but I still want to ask for his opinion. Do you also object to my making the national teacher a queen?"

"Of course the Xue family supports His Majesty's establishment of the national teacher as the empress."
