Chapter 1135: Grand Finale: Return of an Old Friend (43)
I have never heard of a queen in any country who has never woken up.
"Is it impossible?" Emperor Jing, as if deliberately teasing him, said, "I insist on doing it, so what?"
The court official was an old official who had always respected Emperor Yongle when he was still alive. He seemed very confident and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to keep the throne of Empress vacant forever for her?"
The ministers were in an uproar.
A person who is in a deep sleep will always occupy the position of empress. Even if it is just a title, the meaning it represents is very different. In the future, even if new beauties enter the palace, as long as the position of empress is always occupied, the children of these women will never be able to move beyond the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Emperor Xiao Jing laughed softly, and the ministers who were laughing were all a little dazed, and the court official who laughed first felt nervous.
The emperor only said, "The throne is vacant? There is only one woman in my harem, how can it be vacant?"
Everyone in the room was shocked!
"Your Majesty..." The old minister wanted to speak.
"My dear Xu, I remember that you have two little granddaughters in your house, who are now in their prime." Emperor Jing said.
The man was startled, feeling anxious, yet also secretly delighted. However, the next moment, his delight vanished as the emperor said, "How about I betroth her to the young general Song from Wuguan?"
General Song was young and promising, but unfortunately he had lost an eye on the battlefield before, so he would never have a future in this life.
"Xu Aiqing" suddenly turned pale.
"I'm not here to listen to your opinions, nor to listen to your complaints. I'm simply informing you of the outcome." He sat on the throne, looking down at the ministers from a high position. "I am the Son of Heaven, the master. If you have any objections to my decrees, feel free to raise them. However, if you have any objections to my harem or my personal affairs, then I will definitely," he thought for a moment, "repay you double."
"When the time comes, don't accuse me of mismatching people." He smiled mischievously, and in a flash, he was back to being the handsome young man lazily riding through the streets of Mingqi. But now, he had sheathed his sharp blade. While the sheath looked gorgeous, no one dared to try to draw it out.
"If you don't believe me, just come and try it." He said with a smile.
He truly didn't look like an emperor, not serious enough, yet he seemed more dangerous than previous emperors. He was no less dangerous than even the Yongle Emperor. The more indifferent he acted, the more unsettling it became. Everyone knew that Prince Rui was a treacherous man; if he targeted them, they would die without knowing how. Most importantly, he completely disregarded etiquette and reputation, fearing nothing. Everyone believed that Emperor Jing would surely do something like marry one minister's granddaughter to another minister's younger brother, or marry one minister's grandson to the daughter of his sworn enemy.
It's not a good match, but the fear is that there will be a result of restraint. If this restraint happens to hit the target, the family will be weakened and destroyed without knowing it.
No one dares to gamble with their family.
Everyone thought, forget it, now is the honeymoon period, let Emperor Jing do whatever he wants, maybe after a while, he will get tired of it, or fall in love with a new beauty. Men, when they love, they really love, and when they don't love, they really don't love anymore. Why do we have to do something so thankless here?
Thinking of this, the ministers felt relieved. They stopped talking and some even flattered him, saying that the love between Emperor Jing and his wife was so deep that it was a legend.
