"I've seen Mr. Qingyun." Although these old scholars were very imposing outside, they still unconsciously drew in front of Mr. Qingyun. Although Mr. Qingyun looked like an amiable old god, these people were a little old, so naturally they knew much more about Mr. Qingyun than ordinary young people, and there were even many disciples of Mr. Qingyun.

Mr. Qingyun smiled and said, "No need to be polite. All the masters are very busy. Why are they free to come to this mountainous land?"

Everyone didn't even dare to say that even though they were afraid and admired Mr. Qingyun in front of him, there was a hint of envy and jealousy in his heart. If anyone in this world had the best blessing, Mr. Qingyun would be considered one of them. Not to mention that all his children and grandchildren became famous, Mr. Qingchen became famous all over the world when he was young. The fourth son of the Xu family was not yet twenty-five years old, and even Mr. Xu, who abandoned literature and martial arts, made outstanding contributions in the Mo family army. More importantly, there was also a granddaughter who became Princess Ding. With these, the Xu family could flourish for another hundred years. Mr. Qingyun was naturally very leisurely and did not have to carefully plot for the prosperity of the family like them.

The book boy who was serving Qingyun first served tea. Everyone sat down on the stone bench in the bamboo forest and tasted the tea, speechless for a moment.

After tasting tea for a while, I saw Mr. Qingyun sitting leisurely without any expression, and finally someone couldn't sit still.

"Mr. Qingyun, we are here to disturb us today. I really have something to ask for." One of them stood up and smiled respectfully. Mr. Qingyun looked up at the person who was talking. His old eyes unexpectedly seemed calm and transparent, and he smiled faintly: "You are... Zhao Zhefang? He studied at Lishan Academy back then? Speaking of which... we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, right?"

The man who spoke was nearly 60 years old. He heard Mr. Qingyun say this and quickly smiled: "Mr. Qingyun said that he did receive teachings under Mr. Qingyun back then." Mr. Qingyun was also famous at a young age. Although he was less than twenty years older than him, when he was studying at Lishan Academy, Mr. Qingyun had already been a great scholar of his generation. Although he was not a disciple of Mr. Qingyun, if the rules were calculated, he would still have to be a disciple in front of Mr. Qingyun. However, this made Zhao Zhefang, who had always regarded himself as a very high-ranking scholar for most of his life, feel a little embarrassed.

Mr. Qingyun didn't care and smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Zhefang hurriedly said, "Now that Your Highness Ding has pacified all directions, it is time to ascend the throne to the emperor to appease the people of the world. The empress and the imperial court ordered all matters to be returned to their positions, all officials should fulfill their duties, and to ensure the people's hearts. However, yesterday we wrote to His Highness Ding, but King Ding was furious and refused to accept the concubine. We were wondering whether to ask Mr. Qingyun to persuade Princess Ding, this... Princess Ding has made great contributions to Princess Ding's mansion, and Princess Ding's ascend to the throne will naturally be the queen. But if the princess decides to dominate Princess Ding alone, I am afraid... it will damage the reputation of the princess and the Xu family."

Mr. Qingyun pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Do you all mean this?"

Everyone looked at each other a few times and said in unison: "I would like to ask Mr. Qingyun to put the world first. The Xu family is a model of scholars in the world. They will definitely handle this matter properly."

Mr. Qingyun looked at the people in front of him and shook his head with some regret. These people are not young anymore, and some are even a few years younger than him. But are they so eager to fame and fortune that they are blinded by fame and fortune?

"You have been in Licheng for a while. How do you think the northwest governance is done?" Mr. Qingyun asked leisurely.

"This... King Ding is a wise ruler. Under the rule of the northwest, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a sign of prosperity."

Mr. Qingyun shook his head and smiled, "It's a bit like a prosperous era, but it's not true that he lives and works in peace and contentment. In the past ten years, King Ding has not been elected emperor, and he has lived and worked in peace and contentment under the rule of the northwest. It can be seen that... whether he is elected as an emperor has no direct relationship with whether the world is stable or not."

"This...but, if King Ding is not accredited to be emperor, it will be unreasonable." Someone said anxiously.

Mr. Qingyun smiled and said, "The country must not be without a king, and this is true. The King of Ding Ji has the intention to compete for the world and will not let no one in the world govern it. Now the King of Ding refuses to be the emperor, so it is naturally time for you to come. Why should you be anxious?"

Everyone looked at Mr. Qingyun with a faint disappointment. They originally thought that the Xu family was willing to let King Ding ascend the throne as soon as possible. After all, the biggest contributor after King Ding ascends the throne must be the Xu family. As long as King Ding ascends the throne, things will naturally be easier to handle in the future. But unexpectedly, Mr. Qingyun really didn't care at all.

One of them stood up and said, "Mr. Qingyun is right. We should not say much about when King Ding will be emperor. However, His Highness Ding and the princess have been married for more than ten years, and the backyard is empty and there is only the princess, which is a bit unconventional. A woman values ​​virtues and a princess like this, which is a bit too domineering. How can she deserve the reputation of being a mother in the world in the future?"

Hearing this, Mr. Qingyun's eyes were slightly deeper. Just as he was about to speak, a clear voice came from outside the bamboo forest and said, "This old man's words are wrong. The Great Chu marriage system said: Wife is equal. Those who are equal to their husbands are wife. King Ding is a talented person and is unparalleled in the world. Except for Princess Ding, who is extremely intelligent and capable, both civil and military, who dares to claim to be equal to Princess Ding, who dares to claim to be equal to Princess Ding?" A young man in blue clothes walked into the bamboo forest, glanced at everyone present, and continued, "In addition,

There is an ancient ritual that the legitimate wife is the only mistress of the family. She can only take a concubine after twenty years of entry. Even if the legitimate wife has no place to leave, the concubine has no place to leave, and the children will belong to the legitimate wife. Princess Ding gave birth to a young prince in just three years, and last year she added a pair of twins. What's wrong with King Ding no longer taking concubines? Since you are all polite, it's better to write to Your Highness Ding to the lower house than to keep your rituals. How about restoring the ancient rituals? But if that's the case... The concubines and sons in the family..." Xu Qingyan looked at everyone with a smile, but smiled without saying a word.

"You... you are so rude!" Everyone's face turned red with anger, and the older ones pointed at Xu Qingyan's fingers were trembling. The ancient rituals in Xu Qingyan's mouth were ancient rituals. At that time, the etiquette and law were first established, and the people were simple. From emperors, generals, and ministers to peddlers and barracks, there was no saying that they would take concubines. Therefore, the marriage system stipulated that women could not marry another for twenty years before they could marry another. Even if they gave birth to children, they would not be above the first-handed women. Later, people's hearts gradually changed, and it was stipulated that they would marry another person who violated the marriage system.

A hundred stick is sentenced to one year. However, later, the world is getting worse and the imperial power is becoming more and more prosperous. These rituals and laws are gradually distorted by one rule, forming the three wives and four concubines in people's consciousness today. Until now, probably only a family like the Xu family still maintains the rule that a man can only take a concubine after he has no children after he has 40 years of rituals. If the ancient rituals are really forced to restore the ancient rituals, it will be light for the group of wives and concubines in the family in front of them to be dispersed. Just the scepter and sentence can beat them to death and then lock them up until their bones turn into ashes.
