Chapter 85: A Female Virgin After all matters had been discussed in detail, Tian Ze finally asked, "Does anyone have any questions?" Just as everyone was silent and shaking their heads, and Tian Ze was about to end this long meeting, Dong Zhao, who always kept a low profile, slowly stood up. "My lord, Zhao has an extremely important matter to report." Dong Zhao's voice was steady and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Seeing Dong Zhao's serious look, Jia Xu, Xun You and others flashed a hint of understanding in their eyes, as if they had already guessed something, but Tian Ze looked confused and puzzled. "Kimi, please tell me now." "My lord, the inheritance of offspring is of fundamental importance and is the key to the long-term survival of the foundation. To ensure the long-term stability of Liaodong and make it as solid as a mountain, you should marry wives and concubines early and have many children to reassure the people." Dong Zhao said sincerely and surprisingly. All the civil and military officials present looked at Dong Zhao meaningfully. Although Dong Zhao's own abilities were not particularly outstanding among the civil officials present, he was still one of the top talents of the time, and what he was best at was observing people's words and expressions and guessing people's hearts. His talent of "going with the flow" enables him to accurately perceive the subtle clues of changes in the general trend, follow the trend, skillfully use the situation, influence others to a certain extent, and thus maximize his benefits. When Dong Zhao first arrived in Liaodong with Tian Feng and others, he was the first one to decide to join the army without hesitation after seeing the prosperity of Liaodong and the potential of Tian Ze.
Tian Ze could vaguely sense through the art of qi-gazing that Dong Zhao's determination was not as firm as those of other civil and military officials, but as long as the general trend still favored Tian Ze, Dong Zhao would not have any other unreasonable thoughts. Although Dong Zhao was not well-known in history, he accomplished many great things. He helped Cao Cao welcome Emperor Xian back to the east, persuaded Cao Cao to move the emperor to Xu County, persuaded Cao Cao to be promoted to Duke of Wei and King of Wei, and persuaded Cao Pi to become emperor, making great contributions to the establishment of the Cao Wei regime. Moreover, Dong Zhao also had his own unique ability in educating officials and students, that is, he was good at brainwashing. Most of the officials and reserve officials who had been brainwashed by him were very respectful and loyal to Tian Ze, so much so that Tian Ze sometimes felt that the proportion of loyal officials among these officials was much higher than that of honest officials. Therefore, this made Tian Ze trust and value him very much, and also allowed Dong Zhao to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Ministry of Education, and no one could shake his position. Even people like Tian Feng and Zhang Zhao, who did not agree with Dong Zhao's personality and looked down on his flattery, had to admit Dong Zhao's ability and value in this regard. When Dong Zhao opened his mouth and made these remarks, everyone understood that the time had come. Just like Zhao Kuangyin, when the time is right, someone will do the heavy lifting without him having to give the order personally. And now, Tian Ze is facing the same situation. Many civil and military officials had prepared themselves when they joined the army. After experiencing the rapid development of Liaodong and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, everyone's mind was greatly shaken. After this significant meeting, everyone was deeply touched and underwent a qualitative change in their thinking. Dong Zhao keenly noticed this and said this at the right time. Five years ago, Tian Ze was just a small county magistrate with only a thousand people under him, and he was inconspicuous. Now, Tian Ze has controlled the vast area of four counties and governed more than six million people, and his momentum has begun to take shape. Five years later, Tian Ze will annex the vast territories of the ethnic minorities surrounding Liaodong, and the population under his rule will increase significantly again, perhaps reaching tens of millions. Those who are involved in or even personally involved in Liaodong know best how the people in Liaodong live and what the Liaodong military is like. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they saw clearly the corruption and incompetence of the imperial court, the emperor's incompetence and the greed and selfishness of the aristocratic families. Even loyal people like Guan Yu and Taishi Ci tacitly agreed to Dong Zhao's words at this time. Although they did not express their support explicitly, they did not raise any objections either.
Most of the civil and military officials were in a very enthusiastic state, with their eyes full of anticipation and excitement. If Tian Ze had not been suppressing him all the time, and the world had not yet been in complete chaos, I am afraid that Dong Zhao would have said: "Your Majesty, the foundation of the country lies in the royal heir. For the stability of the country, you should establish a queen early to continue the royal bloodline and protect the foundation for thousands of generations." Tian Ze was somewhat caught off guard by Dong Zhao's suggestion, but he quickly observed the expressions of the people present, and seeing the expectation and determination in their eyes, he slowly put his mind at ease. It seems like the time has really come. The civil and military affairs were of one mind, which made Tian Ze very happy. Although he had the means to ensure that his subordinates would not betray him, he could not completely control and change their psychology and ideas. The role that a subordinate who took the initiative to act and a subordinate who was unwilling to act could play was very different, like the difference between heaven and earth. As for marrying a wife and taking a concubine, Tian Ze didn't care much about it. Tian Ze was born into a rich and powerful family, and naturally had no shortage of women. To him, beautiful women were as common as daily necessities, easily available to him. There are six maids around him alone, and according to Tian Ze's aesthetics, each of them is beautiful and has a hot body. Not only are they outstanding in appearance, they are also proficient in dance and music, and have special skills. These were carefully selected and cultivated by the Tian family since childhood, and are the standard for children of aristocratic families. Tian Ze often took advantage of these maids, and every day the maids took turns to accompany him, enjoying the coziness and comfort of the land of gentleness. Even before he came of age, Tian Ze had indulged himself in pleasure for a period of time, spending every day listening to music in brothels, playing in swimming pools, and seducing himself in uniforms. He had tried every trick he could think of and was already a veteran in the world of women. If it weren't for my cultivation, which enabled me to consciously lock my Yuan Yang, I'm afraid I would have several children by now. The reason why Tian Ze has not yet married is that he has not met the right person who makes his heart beat, and he feels there is no need. For the sons of wealthy families, the women they play with only need to be beautiful and attractive, so as to satisfy their temporary desires and needs. However, when choosing a wife, one has to consider many aspects, such as family background, moral character, and family interests. This requires careful consideration and weighing of the pros and cons. Although with Tian Ze's current strength and the great cause he wants to accomplish, he does not need to consider family background, but after traveling through time, he naturally wants to fulfill his dream and marry some beautiful women who will leave a good reputation for generations to come. For example: Diao Chan, Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao, Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, etc. It’s a pity that most of these beauties are still young and have not yet reached the appropriate age for marriage. Some of them have difficult identities and are difficult to find. Before this, Tian Ze had contacted Cai Yan's father Cai Yong, trying to persuade him to come to Liaodong to avoid disaster, but was firmly refused. Tian Ze felt helpless about this old man who was as stubborn as his teacher. After trying every means to persuade him to no avail, he had no choice but to give up the idea. I can't even recruit civil and military officials, so where do I get all the energy to think about beautiful women? The busyness of these years has gradually made Tian Ze dilute this idea and devote more thoughts and energy to the development and growth of his career. He holds beauties in his arms every day, and the beauty and figure of these maids alone are no less than those of the so-called stars of later generations. Even if those beauties who left their names in the world were naturally beautiful, how many of them could be better than her? They were just famous, or they were known for their virtues. "Mikoto's words make sense. Do you have any suggestions for candidates?" Tian Ze asked with a slightly raised eyebrow. "My lord, Zhao heard that Zi Zhong has a younger sister who is in her prime, beautiful, intelligent, gentle and virtuous. When she was young, a fortune teller said that this girl is invaluable!" Dong Zhao said with a meaningful smile on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Zhu immediately showed a grateful look to Dong Zhao.
Tian Feng coughed lightly and glared at the flatterer fiercely. It’s passed! To say that a woman is 'priceless beyond words' means that she could become a queen in the future. Dong Zhao's shameless words were already a little unbearable for him. They were too unworthy of a scholar's character and dignity. Tian Ze was also startled. He looked at Dong Zhao speechlessly and complained in his heart: This guy is really bold. He looked at Mi Zhu again, whose face was full of expectation and respect. "You will be in charge of this matter. Don't make the ceremony too complicated, but don't neglect the etiquette. It should be solemn and respectful." Hearing this, Dong Zhao and Mi Zhu couldn't stop feeling excited, their eyes filled with excitement. "promise!" (End of this chapter)
