Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Regarding Zhu Chaofang's words.

Zhu Yunhuan was not surprised.

He is now the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, holding supreme power in his hands, with the Huaixi nobles standing behind him, and his position is stable.

What is the most effective wind? —The wind beside the pillow.

If you can have one or two influential people by your side, promotion and wealth are just around the corner, and even becoming a marquis or duke with immense power is not out of the question.

Driven by this temptation.

Who in the court and the country doesn’t want to put people into Zhu Yunhuan’s harem?

Don't say he is only fourteen now.

Even though he was only ten or eight years old, there were still many people who were trying their best to send their daughters, sisters, nieces and grandnieces to him.

It’s just that Zhu Yunhuan had too many things to consider before, and subconsciously felt that he was not old enough, so he did not take these things into consideration.

"I understand what my eldest and second sisters mean."

"But I remember... didn't Grandpa Huang stipulate in the Great Ming Code that any man over sixteen and any woman over fourteen are allowed to marry?"

After a pause, Zhu Yunhuan said with a hint of hesitation.

In fact, he didn't want to put this matter on the agenda so early.

One is that as a modern man he feels a little awkward. Although with his current status and power, no one can comment on such matters, and he even thinks that such matters are natural, he always believes that people should always have their own bottom line.

Second, the current situation in the court seems stable.

But this was only the balance he had found after carefully weighing all parties. If he mixed in the harem, the situation would only become more chaotic.

In addition, as a modern man, his emotional pursuits are naturally different from those of people of this era.

So he subconsciously brought out the "Great Ming Law" to delay the matter.

"The Emperor did have this rule, but you are different. You are the emperor of my Ming Dynasty and the future of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, you don't have to follow this rule." Zhu Chaofang said in a firm tone, with a hint of complacency in his beautiful eyes.

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows without comment.

I couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.

After all, when modern women criticize those who force children to have children, they inevitably add a sentence like "There is no throne to inherit in your family." Zhu Yunhuan never imagined that... there is really a throne to inherit in his family.

After a moment's silence, Zhu Yunhuan said, "Well... putting aside the provisions of the Ming Dynasty Law, we are still in deep mourning. It's only been a few months since my father passed away, and my grandfather just passed away..."

Well... in ancient times, filial piety was more important than anything else.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

However, Zhu Chaofang said nonchalantly, "This isn't a problem. You've officially ascended the throne. You're the emperor, and many things are different from ordinary people. Ancient etiquette and laws have precedents for emperors shortening the original 27-month mourning period to 27 days by 'substituting days for months.'"

Zhu Yunhuan was caught now... and he could not think of any other excuse.

Fortunately, his second sister Zhu Xuening seemed to see through his thoughts and reminded Zhu Chaofang, "Sister, it seems that Yunxun really doesn't want to get married now?"

She has a calmer and gentler temperament, so she tends to look at things in more detail.

Zhu Chaofang then paused.

There was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Yunhuan.

The two sisters in front of him were his closest relatives, and Zhu Yunhuan had nothing to hide. He spread his hands and smiled awkwardly: "I do think it would be more appropriate to consider it in two years."

Zhu Chaofang pursed her red lips.

But I didn't continue to persuade him.

He just lowered his head slightly, frowned thoughtfully, and murmured, "If you really don't want to, two years later is fine, but..."

"Just what?" Zhu Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief. In his previous life, his parents divorced and didn't care about him. Even when he got a little older, he was not forced to get married. He didn't expect that after traveling here, he still couldn't escape being urged to get married.
