What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Chu Zhao snorted coldly and said:

"You old stubborn man, why can't a woman be emperor? In this world, the capable shall rule. Just because there was no such thing before doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. This general is your majesty's husband, and I am willing to assist your majesty with all my strength, govern this world, and create a prosperous era with your majesty!"

The emperor's husband? The ministers were shocked.

Chu Shiting's eyes widened.

Is my son going to enter the harem?

Then whose surname will the children born in the future take?

Their Chu family has been a single-line family for three generations!

But now is not the time to talk about this. I’ll deal with this kid when I get back.

He knows Gu Xi's abilities best, and at this moment he must support Gu Xi in becoming emperor.

So he said:

"We have just paid respects to the new emperor. Although His Majesty has not yet held the coronation ceremony, he is already the ruler of the world. How can he be easily replaced?"

"Yes, you all worshipped willingly just now. If you want to change now, that would be treason." Lin Xiaoxuan stood nearby and said sarcastically.

The ministers did not know Lin Xiaoxuan and only thought he was a soldier under Gu Xi.

The ministers began to whisper.

Minister A: "Are we going to kneel down and worship a woman every day? How can this be tolerated?"

Minister B: "Yes, if we talk about Miss Gu, she is indeed very capable, but it's a pity that she was born into a female womb by mistake."

Minister C: "When a hen crows at dawn, disaster will surely come to the world."

Minister Ding: "But we have already worshipped the new king. If we regret it now, I am afraid we will not survive."

Some ministers even sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Oh, heaven, oh, earth, how could this happen? How could this happen!

……

Listening to the noise below, Gu Xi got a headache.

You forced me to become emperor, and now I am back to being a girl. Why are you crying?

Gu Xi slammed the table, his aura fully released, and said angrily:

"What are you arguing about! If you don't want to do this, you can resign! Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you refuse to resign and keep complaining and attacking me based on your gender, I am not powerless!"

Everyone was shocked. They seemed to have a good temper just now, so why did he suddenly turn hostile?

They may want to resign, but they are reluctant to give up their official positions.

The ministers were silent.

Gu Xi thought for a moment and said:

"Then I will light the fourth fire and issue another decree: equality between men and women! The people of our dynasty, regardless of gender, have equal rights. Women can study, take the imperial examinations, and serve as officials in the court!"

All the ministers were petrified.

This decree is more powerful than allowing merchants to take part in the imperial examinations!

Can women take the imperial examinations and serve as officials in the court?

Is this world still a patriarchal society?

Every one of today's decrees overturned their cognition. This fourth fire simply burned all the ministers in the palace.

Without waiting for their response, Gu Xi added:

"There is also a fifth fire. Our dynasty implements monogamy. No matter what your status is, from the emperor to the common people, you are not allowed to take concubines. If a man already has a concubine, and the concubine voluntarily restores her freedom, he cannot be stopped. If she does not want to separate, she will not be held accountable. But from now on, a man can only marry one woman!"

Gu Xi simply set off a few more mines and blew them up at once, so that there would be less resistance in the future and he would avoid quarrels every time.

what?

Monogamy is fine, but why aren't they allowed to have concubines?

Just now, there were a few young ministers who coveted Gu Xi's beauty and status, wondering whether they would have the opportunity to enter the palace and become His Majesty's lover in the future. Now they were dumbfounded.

The happiest person was Chu Zhao. It was great. Once this decree was issued, those coquettish and despicable men would never be able to get their hands on A Xi again.

A minister stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines, but most men only marry one wife. If it is changed to monogamy, it is not a big deal, but concubines are not allowed. This goes against the laws of nature."

Gu Xi walked down from the platform, came to the minister, and said:

"How is this against the laws of nature? What is the law of nature? I am a messenger from heaven, and I understand the laws of nature better than you. For a country to develop, it needs population, and it needs to recuperate. The number of men and women in the world is about the same. If the rich and powerful take concubines, many poor people will become bachelors, which is not good for the stability of the country or the growth of the population."

Another minister also stepped forward and said:

"Those poor people can't afford to marry. If the rich don't take concubines, there will be many women who have no one to rely on. Isn't that pitiful? Your Majesty is also a woman, how can you not have some mercy on them and give them a way to live?"

Gu Xi slowly walked up to him and said:

"According to what you said, making women concubines is still a grace to them? In the future, women will not have to rely on men, they can survive on their own. The country needs labor for development, and there will be many jobs suitable for women in the future. What's more, I am confident that within five years, the people of the whole country will be lifted out of poverty and become rich. By then, the people at the bottom will be able to eat and wear warm clothes, and naturally they will be able to marry."

The third minister stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, what if my wife can't give birth to a child?"

Gu Xi walked forward and said:

"There are many reasons why you can't have children. It could also be that there's something wrong with the man. My medical skills are pretty good. In the future, every state will have a hospital to treat any illness."

The minister still did not give up and said:

"What if the wife can't give birth to a son, and the couple has a good relationship, and the man can't bear to divorce her, and then he doesn't allow her to take a concubine, wouldn't that cut off her family line?"

Gu Xi angrily retorted:

"Since the relationship between husband and wife is good, they should be together for life to justify this relationship. Why? Your family has a throne to inherit, so you must give birth to a son?"

The minister shrank his neck in fear and fell to his knees:

"I dare not!"

If you say you want the throne, isn't that treason?

Another minister plucked up the courage to say:

"What if the emperor has no son? How will the country be passed on?"

Hiss - when it comes to bravery, you are still braver. Aren’t you cursing the emperor?

Is your neck cold? See how you die!

Gu Xi was not angry and said:

"This kingdom doesn't necessarily have to be inherited by a family. It should be ruled by the capable. When I am old and can no longer do anything, I will naturally abdicate. The successor may not be a member of the Gu family or the Chu family, but must be someone with extraordinary abilities."

Ministers: "..."

Shocked beyond measure.

I have only heard that in ancient times, there was a system of abdication.

Later on, it was passed down from father to son, from generation to generation, until the next dynasty began, when it was still passed down from father to son.

"Does anyone else have questions?" Gu Xi put his hands on his hips and looked at everyone, feeling as if he was in a debate with a group of scholars.

No one dared to say anything.

Gu Xi saw that the time was almost up. Considering that she was still on the plane in Hyundai and would soon land, she announced:

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, everyone, please continue the feast, don't waste the good wine and food, I'm tired, I'm going to go back and rest first."

The corners of the ministers' mouths twitched. Who would still be in the mood to have a feast at this time?

I would have indigestion just from eating these big melons.

Gu Xi left all the mess to Chu Zhao and Lin Xiaoxuan to deal with, and she hurried back to the Imperial Master's Mansion to sleep as soon as possible.
