They were unable to challenge the traditions of this era that had existed for thousands of years. That was why Mo Xiuyao chose to put this issue aside. If he didn't ascend the throne or become an emperor, then there wouldn't be any harem problems. As a Prince, having an heir was the best way to answer to the Prince Ding Mansion. The previous kings of the Prince Ding Mansion didn't request for a large number of wives and concubines. On the other hand, Mo Xiuyao truly didn't have any interest in the throne. What he liked was the process of conquering the world, and not that high and mighty golden dragon throne. He didn't want to be tied to that position, but once he sat on that position, many things would become out of his control.
Mo Xiuyao intimately rubbed Ye Li's hair and said with a smile, "Li, you just need to happily accompany Xin 'er and Lin' er to play. I will take care of these annoying things. When Xiao Bao grows up, we can go out and play, and live the life we like freely. "
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ye Li faintly smiled. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "If those people continue to disturb the Xu family and grandfather …"
"Li Li can just take care of them. I've said it before, no matter what Li Li does, it's I's idea. " Mo Xiuyao said in a low voice. Even if Li Li wanted to kill everyone, these crimes could be taken by I. However, Mo Xiuyao didn't say this because he knew that with Li Li's temperament, she definitely wouldn't do this. Li Li is soft-hearted … If you don't want to do something you can't do, I will do it for you!
Ye Li's prediction wasn't wrong. After Mo Xiuyao mercilessly demoted a few of the most active people, these people who were clamoring to ascend the throne and take in concubines immediately quieted down. However, very quickly, there were people who thought of a new way out. In front of benefits and wealth, there would always be countless people who would do whatever it took to get in.
In the bamboo forest behind Lishan Academy outside the city, Master Qingyun was playing chess with Su Zhe. Su Zhe looked at the chessboard and pondered while holding a black piece. He smiled and said, "Now that Prince Ding's great cause is about to succeed, why is Elder Xu still frowning?"
"As the saying goes, keeping watch at night is harder than starting a business. With Prince Ding's intelligence and temperament, as long as there were no accidents, it would not be difficult for him to unify the world. However, since ancient times, there have been countless people who have obtained the world but were unable to bring peace to the world. Who could say that the Titan Emperor of ancient times wasn't a peerless emperor? However, after unifying the world, they only enjoyed the country for less than thirty years. How could we not sigh and sigh in disappointment? "Master Qingyun's hair and beard were all white. His appearance was thin, and he looked like a carefree wild crane. However, the old man's entire life was devoted to educating the students. How could he truly see through the world of mortals and be detached from the world?
Su Zhe also sighed and slowly put down a piece. He said, "Other things aside, Prince Ding's delay in ascending the throne and taking in concubines is detrimental to the stability of the world." Ascending the throne to become the Emperor, appointing an Empress, taking in concubines, and having children. Not only did this represent the beginning of a dynasty, it also gave the people of the world a stable message, calming the hearts of the people. "Prince Ding's personality … is too similar to the founding Prince Ding back then." Back then, the first Prince Ding of the Da Chu State, Mo Lanyun, had not insisted on marrying the princess of the previous dynasty. Otherwise, the founding ancestor of the Da Chu State might not have been able to sit on the throne. And now … there wasn't even a chance for the events of the past to repeat. In today's world, other than Prince Ding, no one else could sit on the throne, and no one would be able to convince the masses.
"Elder Xu, should we go and persuade Prince Ding?" Su Zhe hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. Although they were far away from the city, they still knew about the big and small matters in Glass City. It wasn't a good thing for the ruler and his subjects to be at odds with each other before the country was even established.
Mister Qingyun waved his hand and smiled. "No need, they know what to do. Right now, it just looks a little messy. Those who truly know their position are all very astute. It's better for it to be messy now than to leave these problems to be passed down from generation to generation. "
Su Zhe was startled. He said, "Isn't this too risky?" Since the beginning of the world, the most important thing was to seek peace. That was why so many emperors had wantonly conferred titles when they first established the country. In the end, they had to spend a lot of effort to get rid of the problems. How could the wise and wise founding emperors not know these questions? It was just a sentence that was forced by the situation. It was too risky to start removing the subjects before the world was settled. If they weren't careful, there would be chaos again.
Mister Qingyun smiled. "We're old. It's inevitable that we have to be overcautious in everything we do. Since Prince Ding has this courage, why not take a look? "
Su Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Even you, as his grandfather, aren't worried. What do I have to worry about? However, I'm afraid that those old scholars will come to you soon. "These people didn't have any ability, but they had a good reputation. They didn't have big hearts, but their tempers weren't small. After being rejected by Prince Ding and Princess Ding, it would be strange if they still came to find Mister Qingyun.
"Sir, there are a few old gentlemen outside asking to see you. They say that they are old friends of Mister Qingyun and Elder Su." A boy servant walked into the bamboo forest and reported respectfully. The two looked at each other and smiled. Su Zhe smiled. "They really come when they say they want to."
Mister Qingyun casually tossed the chess piece in his hand and smiled. "Most of them can't be avoided. I haven't seen them for many years. It's good to see them." These people had come to visit several times when they first arrived at West-Hill. However, they were all rejected by Mister Qingyun for various reasons. Therefore, it could be said that he hadn't seen these people for many years. With Mister Qingyun's age, status, and reputation, no one dared to be unhappy if he didn't want to see them. However, this time, these people probably wouldn't stop until they saw him. Mister Qingyun wasn't really afraid of them. He was just old and didn't want to deal with these people with ulterior motives. "Go, invite them in."
"Yes."
