Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

The couple reviewed each other's work in great detail, making sure that no aspect was left out.

When he was about to talk about the two sisters-in-law, Zhang Xin couldn't help but sigh again about Xu's way of dealing with people:

"If my mother were a man, she would have accomplished great things."

"Isn't being a queen considered a great achievement?"

Zhu Gaochi disagreed with Zhang Xin's statement.

"Dad can be the emperor, and grandpa can be the emperor. But grandma can only be the empress, as mom always says. The same goes for mom. In the Tang Dynasty, women could also be emperors."

Zhang Xin feels that if her mother-in-law were the emperor, she would definitely be more powerful than her father-in-law.

In many things, the mother-in-law often thinks more comprehensively and has a bigger picture than the father-in-law.

"My wife is really bold in thinking and speaking. In fact, it's just a different division of labor. The one in the Tang Dynasty only served for one term."

Zhu Gaochi was always surprised by Zhang Xin.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhu family actually thinks that her mother-in-law should usurp the throne. This is extremely unorthodox.

"That's also a precedent for a woman becoming an emperor."

Apart from anything else, Zhang Xin feels that women's lives are much more difficult today than in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Peking is okay.

Because they took the lead, women gradually left their homes.

More and more women are unbinding their feet.

In that year, there were almost no girls in Peking who had bound feet.

According to Zhao, the maids who used to help bind the feet of daughters of wealthy families can no longer find work.

But this time outside of Peking, there were almost no young women in the post stations.

The servants still had bound feet.

After all, women can do just as much as men, but they are confined to a backyard.

"Although women are not necessarily inferior to men, women in power are only a flash in the pan and will not be the mainstream after all."

Zhu Gaochi felt that it was a bit dangerous for his wife to continue thinking like this.

"What?"

Zhang Xin was very curious.

Zhu Gaochi was never a pedantic person. When the couple chatted about the brilliant emperors of the past, Zhu Gaochi gave Wu Zetian a high evaluation.

But it was the first time that Zhu Gaochi said that he felt women were not suitable to be emperor.

"Let's not discuss whether a woman wants to be the emperor or not.

For example, if a woman is very talented, brilliant, naturally majestic, ambitious, and courageous.

Just like Empress Wu Zetian.

So, after becoming an empress, do you want to pass on your legacy?

If you want to pass on the legacy, do you want to give birth to your own child?

Children born from other women are not her bloodline!

You worked so hard to get this position, and you just give it to someone else?

Even your biological children may not be filial, so how can you expect your adopted children to be filial?

As long as she wants to continue her bloodline, as long as she wants to pass the throne to her own people, she must give birth to her own child.

There are risks for women to get pregnant.

It is not uncommon for one corpse to result in two deaths.

Even if the first child is born safely, is one enough?

Regardless of gender, if it is considered a continuation of the bloodline, then there is also the death of children!

If you don't give birth to at least three or five children, who knows how many will survive.

That means you are on the verge of death again and again.

Even if she only gave birth once, as long as there was one person in the harem who had ulterior motives, she would have to die ten thousand times while giving birth.

Pregnancy is troublesome, recovery is time-consuming, and education is worrying.

How much time and energy are left for the country and government?

The time of confinement was enough for people from outside to break into the imperial city.

On the other hand, the men.

They have a natural advantage in fertility.

All risks are borne by the concubines in the harem.

I can give birth to a hundred or eighty children, and I won’t feel bad if half of them die.”

Zhu Gaochi had been fat for many years and had always been in poor health. He was often sick in his early years.

Have a deep understanding of one's own physical strength.

Really, without strong and vigorous energy, managing the government of a country would be as tiring as a dog.

He has a deeper understanding these days.

Dad is a hands-off boss.

Mom has been trapped by Dad recently.

Everything is on him.

Sometimes I really want to quit.

That is to say, he can talk to Zhang Xin every day and talk about his depression, which makes his life less miserable.

And Zhang Xin's expression is always so vivid, just like at this moment, after listening to what he said, her mouth opened into a cute round shape.

He couldn't help but pinch Zhang Xin's face and continued:

"Let's take a step back and say that if the empress doesn't want to have a child and doesn't want to take the risk, she can adopt a child or something.

But what about the question of the person next to you?

You only have one life, but there are more than one fatal things.

Women are naturally less strong than men, and the time they spend in bed together is enough for a man to kill a woman ten thousand times.

There are very few women who can beat a man. "

When Zhu Gaochi said this, Zhang Xin suddenly remembered a witty remark made by the fairy from the Merit Department.

Just blurt it out:

"Don't marry and don't have children, and you will live forever; don't have children and don't raise children, and you will live forever."

"Hahaha, who said that? Great!"

Zhu Gaochi praised angrily.

"The fairy in my dream said that this is how the world will be in the future!"

Zhang Xin didn't want Balulu to come out, but since Balulu has come out, we might as well discuss it.

"What a warning! What a good dream my wife had!"

Zhu Gaochi was generous in his praise.

If he was just an ordinary rich kid, it would be great for him to live his life like this, without any worries and living a leisurely life.

"Then you still want me to give birth?"

Zhang Xin was speechless.

"We have the throne in our family... One is not safe..."

Zhu Gaochi was also helpless.

If he doesn't fight, his whole family will be in trouble.

It was like this when I was the crown prince.

It is possible that being a crown prince is also like this now.

Looking at the dukes and marquises of the Ming Dynasty, including the princes, the emperor's grandfather, and even the former crown prince, the eldest sons of many of them have been buried in the ground for many years.

As the eldest son, he shudders every time he thinks of it.

He is really lucky to live this long.

It’s also a good thing that his father is not the eldest son.

"Humph, the future prince... must have at least a hundred or eighty children!"

Zhang Xin suddenly remembered Guo's successive deaths.

"You're wronging me. It's good enough. Besides, Fatty Zhu will be a tough guy in the future."

Zhu Gaochi imagined Zhang Xin's jealousy, and while he was overjoyed, he remembered that Zhu Zhanji was a smart little boy.

A while ago, he returned home and asked Zhang Xin for light-colored cloth and a laundry servant.

When asked the reason, he said he asked why Monk Daoyan always wore black clothes.

Monk Daoyan replied to him: It can withstand dirt.

When he returned home, he arranged for cloth to be delivered and also arranged for someone to do the laundry.

He is so good at being a good person and thoughtful at such a young age.

He felt inferior to himself.

"What if I don't want to have any more children? I'm also afraid of death..."

Zhang Xin asked again.

"If you really don't want to have a baby, then don't. You already have Zhanji anyway."

Zhu Gaochi said that he thought about it seriously before doing so.

If he has to choose, Zhang Xin is more important.

"When you draw a big cake for me, sprinkle some sesame seeds on it. I am a picky person."

Zhang Xin rolled her eyes. She never felt that Zhu Gaochi was in love with her.
