As soon as he returned to Nierlu City, Li Tianhao got a piece of bad news: Princess Afrit was born prematurely and had a difficult birth! But fortunately, the child was born safely, and it was a girl.

Li Tianhao, who got the news, rushed back to his mansion in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he met His Majesty the King, Airul. Seeing Airul's eyes, Li Tianhao had an ominous premonition, and after hurriedly saluting, Li Tianhao asked how Alfrette was doing.

Airul let out a long sigh and said, "The doctor said that his life was fine, but this difficult birth hurt Afrite's body, and I am afraid that she will not be able to give birth in the future." ”

After Li Tianhao listened, he gave a deep salute: "Please forgive my father, my son-in-law is going to see Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Airul nodded slightly, Li Tianhao no longer hesitated, and went straight to his wife's bedroom.

Apparently Alfrette had known the news and was crying alone at the bedside. The arrival of her husband opened all her tear gland functions like opening the valve of tears, Li Tianhao hurriedly hugged her in his arms, but he didn't know how to comfort his wife's surging emotions. After a long time, Alfrette gradually stopped her grief, raised her head and asked, "Why don't you comfort people?" ”

Li Tianhao paused, and said with a difficult face: "In fact, I've been thinking about how to do it, but I've never thought of what to do." ”

Alfrette wiped her tears and pouted and complained, "Is this still the great hero of Palchi, Lord Li Tianhao?" ”

Li Tianhao only smiled bitterly: "I can't do anything, for example, if I run into you, there is no way." ”

"I'll spare you this time. It's just a pity, I'm no more," Alfrette said, her eyes red again.

Li Tianhao hurriedly pressed her mouth: "Don't think nonsense. Don't we have a daughter? It is enough to cherish this child. ”

As he spoke, Li Tianhao gently picked up his daughter who was sleeping next to Affrite. The little baby had not yet opened its eyes, and its red skin was wrinkled and looked soft and weak. Groggy sleep.

"The child hasn't been named yet, and the father wants to call her Patura, the name of the queen of the second king, what do you think?" Alfrette leaned on her husband's shoulder and whispered.

"Patura? Well, let's call it Patura. Li Tianhao just looked at his daughter's face, as if he didn't care about the name. Alfrette gently hugged her husband and kissed Li Tianhao lightly on the cheek.

Early the next morning, Li Tianhao was called in front of King Airul, after a simple greeting. Arul opened his mouth with a heavy face: "Do you know what the consequences of this production of Afrit will be? ”

Li Tianhao nodded and said, "Erchen understands. There was no successor to the royal family of Palci. ”

"Not bad. In fact, in addition to this, there is another problem. Although it has not yet surfaced, there is already an undercurrent. ”

Li Tianhao thought for a while and said, "What does my father mean by the reward system implemented by his sons?" ”

Airul looked approvingly at his son-in-law's political sensitivities: "Exactly. You should understand that the reason why the Father did not implement the political measures you proposed in Palch was not because it was bad, but because there was a lot of resistance to it in Palci. Palci has always been a slave state, and the fiefs and slaves of the old nobility were important conditions for their loyalty to the royal family, and if this system was abolished, the whole country would set off a wave of rebellion against the royal family. This is completely different from what you are in in Tyres. You are waging war in the name of the rebels in the Tyres, destroying the old nobles and rebuilding your own system while destroying the old one, with the support of slaves and commoners. You can use the merits accumulated in war, military exploits, and construction to cultivate a new noble class to complete the construction of the state. But this cannot be done so brutally in Palci. So it has to evolve step by step. ”

"The father is clear, and the sons can also understand the hard work of the father. As a result, the system of the Tiers was not fully implemented in the newly seized territory of Yaqui. Instead, they were given fiefs to meritorious personnel, and then let them implement a management system within the fiefdom as they saw fit. Use time and practical results to tell the people of Palci which system is better, and trust your people to see it all and make the right choice. ”

King Arul took a sip from his glass, shook his head, and said, "Unfortunately, there is a flaw in what you do. That is, the people you divide are the officers and generals who follow you into battle, and while this can inspire people to fight for military success, the rise of these new nobles touches the interests of the old ones. ”

"Almost no one of them participated in that war, and they didn't make military achievements, so how can they divide them?"

Airul sighed and said, "What you said is not true, but the weapons and equipment of these armies are all provided by the taxes paid by these nobles, and the grain is produced from the fiefdoms of these nobles. ”

"Which of these taxes was the silver coin of their own labor, and which grain was grown by them? Isn't this all the blood and sweat of the slaves? Li Tianhao said indignantly.

"Unfortunately, the nobles don't think so. The long hereditary life of repudiation has made them not think that way. So, their antipathy towards you is growing day by day, and even though they don't complain to me directly, it may be a worse sign. ”

Li Tianhao was taken aback: "Do you mean that they are plotting against each other?" ”

Airul smiled bitterly, "It's not a bad plot for them. You should know that my son Bud has been frail since he was a child, and the doctors say that he will not live to be thirty years old, and that it is impossible for him to even have children. That's why I decided that Alfrette would succeed to the throne. But Bard is thirty years old this year, and his physical condition does not seem to be much worse than the previous two years, and there have been rumors recently that he seems to be interested in women, so these people are afraid that they will be ready to return the throne of Palci to the throne. ”

These words made Li Tianhao speechless. In fact, Prince Bard was a very kind and loving man, and he loved his sister Alfrett even more, even after losing the right to the throne. Then again, even if he's a badass, it can't erase the fact that he's the first heir to the throne. Had it not been for the fact that he was too weak to maintain the continuation of the royal family of Palci, this kind and forgiving prince would have been far more suitable for the succession than the brutal and willful Alfrite. If he did survive the age of thirty, and even had an heir, it was unclear who the Palci courtiers would be loyal to. In the face of this situation, there is really no way to say that he hopes that the prince will return to heaven as soon as possible to ensure Alfrite's status.

The situation in Palci seems to have become delicate. (To be continued......)
