"Queen, what does the Queen mean?"

Emperor Liu Xie's eyes froze, and suddenly he didn't understand.

Or he doesn't want to understand...

Has the great Han Empire actually... become so destined to rely on a woman to protect her?

Queen Fu Shou slowly stood up, "Your Majesty, in the current situation, Yuan Shao was defeated and died, Lu Yu raised enough food and grass, and it was only a matter of time for Cao Cao to pacify the northern border!"

"It's time to endanger the survival of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty is not allowed to hesitate any more. Take a step back and endure it with difficulty. In any case... there is hope, but... Once, if you completely turn against Cao Cao, then... that..."

Queen Fu Shou did not finish her words, but she could not understand the meaning.

The Han court is like an ant today, so where is Cao Cao's opponent?

Giving back and then getting concessions from Cao Cao and Lu Yu is the only choice.

It is true that a prime minister may be able to achieve a short and gentle condition!

But...but there is no future!

Only by marrying the eldest princess...to Lu Yu, maybe, maybe... the Han Dynasty can still retain a trace of fire.

"His Majesty…"

Queen Fu Shou's words became more and more serious. "Lu Yu married Xiahou Juan, undoubtedly... This marked that Lu Yu's relationship with Cao and Xiahou clans became closer, which was like a tiger's wings..."

"If this continues, the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty will eventually be bound to escape the fate of destruction, but... But if Your Majesty issues an edict to ask the eldest princess to marry Lu Yu, then at least in name Lu Yu is Your Majesty's brother-in-law, even if it is to block the world.

With all the words, Lu Yu would not allow Cao Cao to trample on the dignity of the Han Dynasty and destroy the foundation of the Han Dynasty... let alone..."

Queen Fu Shou said a lot of words, but in the end she was speechless.

Liu Xie understood, the last thing he said was the Fu family...

It's the Fu clan!

It is the life of 217 people in the entire Fu clan!

There had been news from Han officials that Cao Cao had secretly instructed the school affairs office and was about to capture the people of the Fu family.

But... As the emperor and the queen, I knew about this, but I couldn't resist! I didn't even have a chance to escape!

Humble, the Han and the Han ministers are too humble!

And the only chance...

Only... can only give the position of prime minister to Cao Cao and marry the eldest princess to Lu Yu, in exchange for this huge concession for a brief reconciliation between the Han court and Cao camp, and for Cao Cao’s greatest regression!

Fu Shou has always regarded the family very seriously...

For the sake of her family, she can go through fire and water!

"The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty...Liu Xue, is Liu Xue?"

Emperor Liu Xie's face was as deep as water. He pondered for a moment and murmured. "I didn't expect that the one who protected the man in the end was... the elder sister!"

"I only hate, I only hate me not... I only hate me 'can't'! I can't give birth to a daughter to marry Lu Yu, and continue the dynasty..."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie was already weeping like rain, as if he had cried into a tearful person.

The "Liu Xue" he mentioned was the eldest daughter of the late emperor, the Wannian Princess whom the late emperor loved the most...

It was once the Queen Song!

In the past, the case of Queen Song's witchcraft was very involved, and even the Cao family, which was at its peak, almost fell to the bottom!

But...it was just that because of Emperor Ling's love for Princess Wannian, she was actually out of the matter!

In recent years, as the eldest princess of the great man, she followed Liu Xie to Chang'an and returned to Luoyang from Chang'an. She slept in the open and suffered bullying...

The only thing that is silently guarding is the last bloodline of the Han court!

Without any last resort, Liu Xie really doesn't want his elder sister who loves him so much to get involved in this dispute.

Of course, when Liu Xie mentioned "can't", he raised his eyes and stared at Hunhou!

The man said he couldn't...

This is a deep meaning... meaningful!

But Fu Shou can understand the most. Who knows that over the years... she is nominally the queen of the Han Dynasty, but in fact she is... she is a widow.

No one told her about this...

For her, every day in this deep palace is suffering.

But she had to shoulder the burden of the family, she had to...she had to hold on with strength, like a queen!

"Your Majesty, don't think too much. Your Majesty is just too tired. One day, Your Majesty can get rid of the inner demons... maybe, just..."

Fu Shou herself didn't believe this, but she had to say that...

The Fu family is devoted to the Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty must be strong! He can ignore it in some aspects, but... he must not be in the imperial power!

Thinking of this, Fu Shou continued: "This year, Princess Wannian is twenty-five years old? She has been wandering around for many years, but she has not chosen a prince consort for him! Speaking of which, she is only three years older than Lu Yu! It's just right

!”

The so-called son-in-law, in the Han Dynasty, refers to the "son-in-law Duwei", and is one of the emperor's subordinate officials...

When the emperor went on a patrol, in order to prevent assassins, in addition to the main car he was riding, there were several secondary cars.

The attendant in charge of the main chariot is called "Fengche Duwei", and the attendant in charge of the deputy chariot is called "The Prince-Consort Duwei".

Of course, in the Han Dynasty, the identity and background of officials who could be around the emperor were naturally extraordinary. In the Han Dynasty, there were many precedents of the prince-in-law marrying a princess. Over time, the emperor used this official title to call the princess' husband.

"But..." Emperor Liu Xie still frowned. "Didn't the queen just mentioned that Cao Cao asked for an order to marry Xiahou Juan, the noble daughter of Xiahou clan, to Lu Yu as his wife? My elder sister, the Wannian Princess of the Great Han Dynasty, should I?

Can you be a concubine? This is not...no..."

Emperor Liu Xie's next words were, "Isn't this a humiliation of the great man?"

When the words came to my mouth, I didn’t blurt out. Nowadays, the big man... isn’t he humiliated every day?

What's the point of humiliation more and humiliation less?

"Rules are determined by people... etiquette and law are determined by people!" Queen Fu Shou continued to explain: "The father of our Imperial Academy, Mr. Cai Yan, once said in "Arbitrary Decision" that "the noble and the noble man have a wife and two concubines."

'After success, you will be granted eight concubines'. Since you are a person who has made meritorious, your Majesty can enfeoff eight concubines! In the past, the King of Qi accepted the queen, one king and three queens... Your Majesty was the emperor, and the emperor gave marriage, and said

First, wouldn’t Baimahou marry two real wives?”

Speaking of this, Queen Fu Shou continued: "If Your Majesty speaks and all the ministers in the court testify, this is a great favor to Lu Yu. Even if Cao Cao sees through Your Majesty's intentions, he will not dare... let alone

Dismiss Your Majesty's oral order!"

"Two ladies of a marquis' mansion... In Cao Cao's eyes, isn't this the reconciliation between Your Majesty and him? It's the concession between the Han court and the regression of Cao's camp. It's the unanimous expatriation between both sides, abandoning past grudges, and setting their sights on unifying the world.

, End this dispute in troubled times! At this point, Cao Cao still needs His Majesty’s support! This is also the greatest sincerity that His Majesty can show now!”

Being hard-working...

Fu Shou's words are not thought of assertion.

Of course, these words were not what he thought of. She didn't know what "Arbitrary" or what the story of King Nahou of Qi was. These were told by her father Fu Wan and asked her to persuade the emperor to do this.

You must know...

In ancient times, there were strict rules for marrying wives and taking concubines.

"The Book of Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period" says that "the princes hired nine daughters in one place", which means that the princes can only marry nine women, and they will not be tolerated by the world if they want to take one more concubine!

In the Han Dynasty, you could only marry eight concubines unless you made special contributions. The so-called "successfulness and success, you must prepare eight concubines";

The average official only gets married at most, only three concubines. This is why Cai Yong called "a noble and a man with one wife and two concubines" in Fu Shou's words.

Of course, if you are a commoner, a little wife is not allowed to marry. The so-called "a common man and a husband and a wife" can only live with one woman.

According to this statement, in ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines, and had a large number of wives and concubines. It was not that simple, and there were strict restrictions!

But...rules are rules!

"The Book of Rites: Hunyi" also says: "In ancient times, the emperor established six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven generations of wives, and eighty-one imperial wives."

Simply put, it is the standard configuration for ancient emperors to accept how many concubines they could have, and they cannot exceed this rule.

But how many emperors are deaf about this?

The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are just some deterrent power, but... in the eyes of the emperor, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?

call…

Liu Xie breathed out a long breath, and he remained silent.

He was thinking carefully about the whole thing here... Finally, he opened his eyes, and a bright and dazzling light shone out in his eyes.

"Queen, then do what you said..."

"I gave this to the Prime Minister, this Censor, my elder sister, Princess Wannian, I gave it to me too! I only hope... I hope Cao Cao can understand my painstaking efforts, focus his attention in the world, and no longer make things difficult for the Han court.

Give these 'Han ministers' a hope to survive!"

At this point, Liu Xie paused for a moment, he slowly stood up and walked to the window.
