In this campaign, the Eastern Tang Kingdom had displayed their formidable military strength, much stronger than the Qin Kingdom of the past.
This was because they had mastered a weapon that surpassed the current era – the firearm!
That's right, after defeating the Qin Kingdom, Xu Que's acting tough points had reached an unprecedented amount. Thus, he did not hesitate to exchange the blueprint for the firearm as well as the finished product.
With these two items, in addition to the large number of people led by the Ministry of Works to research day and night, they successfully mass-produced the firearms.
With the firearms in hand, the Eastern Tang Kingdom's pace of conquering the world was sped up countless times, or rather, it could be said that it had taken shape in one step.
Very quickly, the Eastern Tang Kingdom conquered the Nine Continents with an overwhelming advantage.
Xu Que also relied on his unprecedented achievements to become the Saint of the Nine Continents, ascending to the throne of the Nine Continents, and Xuanyuan Wanrong also became the Divine Empress.
From then on, the Nine Continents were no longer in chaos and entered a period of prosperity.
Xu Que carried out the policies that he had implemented in the Eastern Tang Kingdom to the rest of the world, vigorously developing the economy. At the same time, slogans such as "If you want to be rich, first plant trees", "As long as the sows are raised well, the family will be rich", "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education" and so on.
Under his leadership, the entire Nine Continents flourished, showing a flourishing vitality, even to the point where the common people did not close their doors at night.
Ten years passed, and Xu Que's reputation in the Nine Continents reached its peak.
Looking at the past five hundred years, no one had achieved what Xu Que had achieved. It would not be an exaggeration to call him an Emperor throughout the ages.
The common people sang praises for Xu Que, and there were even some who blindly worshipped Xu Que, believing that he was the reincarnation of a celestial being, and that there was nothing in this world that he could not do.
At this time, this celestial being in the eyes of the common people was sitting on the dragon throne with an irritated expression.
Having lived in this world as a mortal for ten years, even if Xu Que was the one and only Sword God in the world, his face could not avoid the traces of time, and wrinkles quietly crept up the corners of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, you cannot not take it to heart." Gong Qiwei's face was full of worry. He cupped his hands and said, "You're already over thirty years old. It's time for you to have children …"
Actually, he didn't want to stand out and say this, but he had been with Xu Que the longest. Those old things were afraid of offending Xu Que, so they pestered him to say it.
Xu Que glanced at Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was sitting on the phoenix throne, and could not help but roll his eyes.
Gong Qiwei must be an idiot. I just rejected him last time. I haven't even rested for two days and he's here again?!
Why don't you let me give birth to a crown prince? Are you feeling uncomfortable?
"Okay, then go ask the empress. Do you think I can give birth just because I want to?" Xu Que waved his hand, looking disinterested.
What kind of joke was this? She even gave birth to a child?
He was sure that if he really dared to touch this woman, Xuanyuan Wanrong, she would definitely castrate him when she got out!
Gong Qiwei completed his task and heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, the eyes of the six ministers swept over him like knives. Among them, the Minister of War was the fiercest.
It was no secret that Xu Que had become the Sword God, but his strength was so extraordinary that the Minister of War had long wanted to study him.
However, he was worried that if he made this request, he would be killed by Xu Que with a sword. Thus, he turned his attention to the crown prince.
As for where the crown prince would come from, it would be hard for the emperor to find out.
Apart from him, the ministers of the other ministries more or less had their own ideas, which was why they were so proactive, including the ministers.
Of course, the imperial censors and those old farts had nothing better to do. Xu Que was too wise and powerful, so they could only start from this aspect. After all, they still had to finish their work.
Feeling the knife-like gazes behind him, Gong Qiwei wanted nothing more than to commit suicide, shouting before he died: It was you who forced me to die!
At this time, the almost non-existent Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly spoke, "The crown prince's matter cannot be delayed. Why don't we choose a concubine for the emperor?"
Xu Que sat up with a 'bang', his eyes sparkling.
Choosing a concubine is good!
Choosing a concubine, this daddy won't have to face the cold face of Xuanyuan Wanrong every day!
Hua!
However, the ministers suddenly became restless, causing an uproar.
"No!"
"Your Majesty, choosing a concubine absolutely cannot be done!"
"My Eastern Tang has always followed the monogamy system. Choosing a concubine goes against etiquette!"
"If the emperor does so, the people will definitely follow suit. Where is the morality! Where is the justice! "
Xu Que, "…"
There was such a thing?
Looking at the ministers who were on the verge of death, Xu Que was very puzzled.
If I'm not wrong, we're still in the feudal era, right?
You've already started to promote monogamy?
I really don't know if you're traditional or open …
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly spoke, looking at him meaningfully.
Xu Que's mouth twitched.
I just kicked the ball over, and you're kicking it back to me?
This Act-Tough Saint is not going to take your stupid ball.
"Since Your Majesty can't make up your mind, we'll discuss this matter later! Dismissed. "Xu Que threw down these words and stood up to leave without hesitation.
However, this matter didn't end like this.
Choosing a concubine was naturally out of the question, so he could only think of a way to convince Xu Que.
From this day onwards, the imperial censors and ministers began to follow Xu Que around the clock.
"Your Majesty, look at that cloud in the sky, doesn't it look like a newborn baby?"
"No, get lost."
"Your Majesty, I heard that recently a nest of tigers appeared in the suburbs. They're all happy and happy. Should we go and have a look?"
"This is the Imperial City, where the hell did the tigers come from?"
"Your Majesty, if you don't give birth to a Crown Prince! I'll jump down from here! "
"Someone, prepare a coffin for Imperial Censor Zhang."
"…"
Annoyed by the crowd, Xu Que had to tell the truth, "It's not that I don't want to, but the Empress won't allow it!"
The Empress won't allow it?
Everyone looked at each other. What's going on?
As a trusted follower of Xu Que, Gong Qiwei was once again pushed out to be a sucker.
"Your Majesty … you said the Empress won't allow it … how exactly?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How else can she not allow it?" Xu Que rolled his eyes at him. We're all adults now, is there a need to be so vague with our words? "It's literally what I mean. Up until now, Xuanyuan Wanrong and I have never had an intimate relationship. That's straightforward enough, right?"
The ministers felt as if they were struck by lightning, all of them stunned on the spot.
The Emperor and the Empress have never done it before!
Where … where is the justice in this world?
Where are the morals?
This is simply the nightmare of the Eastern Tang!
"Could it be that Your Majesty can't do it?" Gong Qiwei held onto the principle of making a bold assumption and raised a reasonable doubt.
Xu Que's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "What can't do it? Who can't do it? What can't do it? Don't you know that you have to take responsibility for saying such things? We are the ruler of the Nine Regions now, do you not want your head anymore? "
After saying that, Xu Que became angrier the more he thought about it.
He, the dignified Holy Master of the Nine Regions, was actually still a virgin?
Damn it, is there still justice in this world?
After Xu Que left, the crowd gathered together and started to discuss.
"What do you all think, is His Majesty's words true or false?"
"It should be true," someone said hesitantly.
"What if His Majesty really can't do it? It's not like you've tried it before! "
"This imperial physician can use my character to guarantee that His Majesty is absolutely normal."
"If that's the case … then what His Majesty said really means that the Empress won't allow it …"
"But it is extremely normal for husband and wife to sleep together, why wouldn't the Empress allow it?"
"Could it be that the Empress is afraid?"
The ministers were instantly at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Finally, it was the imperial physician who suggested a solution, "This old man has a good prescription that can stimulate the human body's functions, causing them to develop lust. At that time, as long as His Majesty and the Empress are in the same room, success will naturally follow …"
As these words were said, everyone looked at the imperial physician in shock.
Who would have thought that you, this old fart, would actually have such a trick up your sleeve!
It's really a pity for you to be a imperial physician!
"This old subject is willing to boldly prescribe the medicine for the continuation of the Eastern Tang!"
"Then this old man is also willing to boldly prescribe the medicine for the continuation of the Eastern Tang Imperial Family!"
Without hesitation, a group of people rushed to the imperial kitchen and put the medicine in the evening meal that night.
So much so that this bunch of shameless old men even bribed the guards to eavesdrop, only leaving after confirming that there was no mistake.
The next day, the ministers received the news.
Today, His Majesty is ill and will not be attending court!
