Chapter 1595: The Matter of the Crown Prince Cannot Be Delayed

In this conquest, the Eastern Tang Kingdom showed their powerful military strength, even stronger than the former Qin Kingdom.

Just because they mastered a weapon beyond the era—firearms!

That's right, after defeating the Qin Kingdom, Xu Que's Acting Cool Points reached an unprecedented amount, so he exchanged for the gunpowder gun manufacturing diagram and the finished product without hesitation.

With these two things in hand, plus the Minister of Works leading a large number of people to study day and night, they successfully achieved batch manufacturing of firearms.

With firearms in hand, the pace of the Eastern Tang Kingdom conquering the world was accelerated countless times, or it would not be an exaggeration to say it was formed in one step.

Soon, the Eastern Tang Kingdom conquered the Nine Provinces with an overwhelming advantage.

Xu Que also, by virtue of his unprecedented achievements, was honored as the Sage Monarch of the Nine Provinces, ascended the throne as the co-lord of the Nine Provinces, and Xuan Yuan Wanrong also became the Sage Empress who was the mother of the world.

From then on, there was no more war in the Nine Provinces, and it began to enter a period of vigorous development.

Xu Que implemented the policies he had previously implemented in Eastern Tang to the whole world, vigorously developed the economy, and at the same time put forward slogans such as "If you want to be rich, plant trees first," "As long as the sow is raised well, you will have a fortune," and "No matter how poor, you can't be poor in education."

Under his leadership, the entire Nine Provinces were thriving, showing vigorous vitality, and even reached the point where people didn't close their doors at night.

Ten years passed, and Xu Que's prestige in the Nine Provinces reached its peak.

Looking back five hundred years, no one had ever done what Xu Que had done. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the emperor of the ages.

The common people sang praises for Xu Que, and there were even blindly worshiping people who believed that Xu Que was a god reincarnated, and there was nothing in this world he couldn't do.

At this time, this god in the eyes of the world was sitting on the dragon throne with an irritable face.

Living in this world as a mortal for ten years, even though Xu Que was the world's unique Sword God, the traces of time could not be avoided on that face, and wrinkles quietly climbed onto the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance; you cannot not take it to heart." Gong Qiwei said with a worried face, cupping his hands. "You are already over thirty; it is time to leave an heir..."

He actually didn't want to stand up and say this, but he had been with Xu Que the longest, and those old things were afraid of offending Xu Que, so they pestered him to say it.

Xu Que glanced at Xuan Yuan Wanrong sitting on the phoenix throne and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is Gong Qiwei an idiot? I just refused last time, and it hasn't even been two days, and he's here again?!

Why are you so uncomfortable if you don't let me produce a crown prince?

"Fine, then go ask the Queen. Is this something I can produce just because I want to?" Xu Que waved his hand, looking uninterested.

Are you kidding, producing an heir.

He could guarantee that if he really dared to touch this woman Xuan Yuan Wanrong, this woman would absolutely castrate him after going out!

Gong Qiwei finished the task and breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to retreat, the eyes of the Ministers of the Six Ministries swept over like knives, with the Minister of War being the most intense.

Xu Que becoming a Sword God was no longer a secret, but his strength was simply outrageously high. The Minister of War had long wanted to study it.

But he was worried that if he made this request, he would be hacked to death by Xu Que, so he set his sights on the crown prince.

As for where the crown prince would come from, that would require His Majesty to work hard.

And besides him, the other ministers had their own ideas, so they were so active, including the officials.

Of course, those old immortals among the censors were mainly idle. Xu Que was too wise and martial, so they had to start from this aspect; after all, they still had to finish their work.

Gong Qiwei felt the knife-like gaze behind him and wished he could commit suicide in the hall, shouting before he died: You forced me to death!

Just then, Xuan Yuan Wanrong, who had almost no presence, suddenly said: "The matter of the crown prince cannot be delayed. Why not select concubines for His Majesty."

Xu Que sat up with a "swoosh," his eyes shining.

Selecting concubines is good!

If I select concubines, I won't have to face Xuan Yuan Wanrong's cold face every day!

Whoosh!

However, the ministers were suddenly agitated, causing a commotion.

"No!"

"Queen, selecting concubines must not be done!"

"Our Eastern Tang has practiced monogamy since the founding of the country. Selecting concubines is against the ritual law!"

"If His Majesty does this, the people will definitely follow suit. Where is human ethics! Where is the way of heaven!"

Xu Que: "..."

There's still this matter?

Looking at the group of ministers who were going to die, Xu Que was very puzzled.

If I didn't misunderstand, we are still in the feudal dynasty era, right?

This has already started to implement monogamy?

I really don't know whether to say you are traditional or open...

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Xuan Yuan Wanrong suddenly said, looking at him meaningfully.

Xu Que's mouth twitched.

I just kicked the ball over, and you kicked it back to me again?

This King of Acting Cool won't take your broken ball.

"Since the Queen can't make up her mind, let's discuss this later! Court dismissed." Xu Que left a sentence and stood up to dismiss the court without hesitation.

However, this matter didn't end like this.

Selecting concubines was naturally not allowed, so they could only find a way to persuade Xu Que.

From this day on, the censors and ministers began to follow Xu Que twenty-four hours a day, day and night.

"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 a nest of tigers recently appeared in the suburbs, a happy family, how wonderful. Why don't we go and see?"

"I am in the Imperial City; where the hell did the tigers come from?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't produce a crown prince! This official will jump from here!"

"Someone, prepare a coffin for Censor Zhang."

"..."

Forced by everyone, Xu Que had to tell the truth: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that the Queen won't let me!"

The Queen won't let you?

Everyone looked at each other, what is going on?

Gong Qiwei, as Xu Que's confidant, was pushed out to be the scapegoat again.

"Your Majesty... what you said about the Queen not letting you... specifically, how does she not let you?"

"You are talking nonsense. What else could it be?" Xu Que rolled his eyes, thinking that everyone is an adult, does it need to be so obscure? "It's just the literal meaning. Xuan Yuan Wanrong and I have never had an intimate relationship to this day. Is that direct enough!"

The ministers were struck by lightning and were all stunned on the spot.

His Majesty and the Queen have never had one!

This... where is the way of heaven?

Where is human ethics?

It's simply bad news for Eastern Tang!

"Could it be that His Majesty is not capable?" Gong Qiwei, adhering to the principle of bold assumptions, raised a reasonable question.

Xu Que widened his eyes and said anxiously: "What not capable? Who is not capable, where is not capable? You have to be responsible for saying such things, do you know? I am the co-lord of the Nine Provinces now. You don't want your head anymore, right?"

After speaking, Xu Que became more and more angry.

I am a Sage Lord of the Nine Provinces, and until now, I am still a virgin who hasn't been opened?

Damn, is there any justice?

After Xu Que left, everyone gathered together to discuss.

"What do you say, is what His Majesty said true or false?"

"It should be true." Someone hesitated.

"What if it's really His Majesty who is not capable? You haven't tried it!"

"This imperial physician can guarantee with my personality that His Majesty is absolutely normal."

"Since that's the case... then what His Majesty meant is really that the Queen doesn't allow it..."

"But the matter of husband and wife sharing a room is extremely normal. Why doesn't the Queen allow it?"

"Could it be that the Queen is afraid?"

The ministers were lost in confusion, not knowing what to do.

Finally, the imperial physician proposed a method: "The old man has a good prescription that can stimulate human body functions and make them produce desire. At that time, His Majesty and the Queen only need to be in the same room, and it will naturally be done..."

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at the imperial physician with shocked eyes.

I didn't expect you, this old immortal, to have this trick!

It's a pity you are an imperial physician!

"The old minister is willing to boldly prescribe medicine for the continuation of Eastern Tang's country!"

"Then the old man is also willing to boldly prescribe medicine for the continuation of the Eastern Tang royal family!"

They did it as soon as they said it, and a group of people rushed to the Imperial Kitchen and put the medicine in the dinner that night.

Even, these old shameless people ran to listen to the corner of the wall at night to confirm it was correct before leaving.

The next day, the ministers received the news.

His Majesty is unwell today and will not hold court!
