Chapter 247: On the Importance of Having Children
Ling'er was young and thin-skinned, her cheeks flushed all of a sudden, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Luo is really, what are you talking about, I thought you had something serious, but you came to tease others." ”
"Your Majesty, the poor monk is definitely not joking, and please correct your attitude when talking about military affairs, so as not to chill the hearts of loyal ministers!"
Luo Feng grimaced and said with a serious face: "The heir is very important to the survival of the empire, and it is one of the most important duties of the king, how many kingdoms in Europa in the extreme west have perished because the king cannot give birth to children, and Your Majesty is not afraid that the Chinese Empire, which has just given birth to the hope of rising, will also follow in its footsteps?" ”
Ling'er shrank her neck in fright, and saw Luo Feng's stern expression like a cannibal, as if she was really angry, and then she realized that it wasn't Luo Feng who made her laugh just now by talking nonsense like back then.
There are some grievances in her heart, Ling'er is like a child who is scolded by adults but doesn't know where she made a mistake, she really can't understand what having a child has to do with the country's righteousness.
Lowering her head, Ling'er whispered, "But...... People are still young, can I think about it when I grow up in the future? Didn't Brother Luo persuade his grandmother, saying that he couldn't rush to force Ling'er to get married? ”
Luo Feng sighed and said: "The poor monk is also very helpless, he was not worried about the problem of the heir, but the general situation in the world is changing, the international situation is becoming increasingly severe, and the country has encountered unprecedented challenges...... The country needs a crown prince to weather the crisis! ”
"Brother Luo, Ling'er doesn't understand, why don't I give birth to a child immediately, and the country can perish?"
Ling'er frowned, and asked suspiciously: "No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense!" I am obviously a member of the Nuwa family, and I have a long lifespan, but it is not a problem to live for thousands of years, is it necessary to be in such a hurry to give birth to an heir? ”
"At first, the poor monk also thought so, so he persuaded grandma not to rush to find you a husband."
Luo Feng said: "It's a pity that the poor monk was on a whim last night, and suddenly the heavens foreshadowed it, and then looked at the luck of the country, and found that the catastrophe of the destruction of the world was coming, and the Holy Empire seemed to be full of flowers but was already in danger, and the lives of hundreds of millions of people were hanging by a thread!" ”
"What?" Ling'er was shocked and said in surprise: "How can you be so good, you are about to lose the country, what is going on?" ”
As the empress, although Ling'er's main duty is to dance and sing, Luo Feng did not hide the operation of the country from her, and the documents that responded would be sent to her desk for review, and Ling'er was also working hard to learn government affairs, trying to read and understand those official documents.
With Jiang Qiluo's help, Ling'er could barely understand it, and she had some understanding of the situation in the past year since the founding of the Holy Empire.
Judging from the official documents reported from various places, the Chinese Empire can be said to have risen rapidly, the national economy has developed at an astonishing rate, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the military strength far exceeds that of the same era, and it is about to be able to fight aliens.
Just reading the official document can not intuitively feel the rise of the country, the traffic in the world of Xianxia is very convenient, and the illusion of Xianling Island can also hide the true face, Ling'er and Jiang Qiluo took the flying sword to various places for private visits, and sure enough, they inspected anonymously all the way, and the real situation of the people they saw was not different from the report in the official document.
Jiang Qiluo couldn't help but be amazed, admiring Zen Master Luo for being a genius who ruled the world for a thousand years, Ling'er's father, the Witch King, was not worthy of lifting shoes for him, and he had made earth-shaking changes in the decadent Central Plains in such a short period of time.
Ling'er thought that she had Zen Master Luo's thigh to govern the country for her, and she could become a Ming Jun of the ages when she lay down, so she sang and danced to entertain the people with peace of mind, but she never expected that the crisis of destroying the country would come so suddenly!
Luo Feng sighed and said: "Speaking of this catastrophe, it also has a lot to do with Your Majesty, after the poor monk's fateful supernatural calculation, the source of the disaster is the Nanzhao Kingdom, and the person who started the disaster is your father Witch King!" The border flying sword patrol envoy reported that the Nanzhao State was reorganizing its armament for war, had prepared military rations and military supplies, and gathered barbarian troops from various departments, and was about to invade the Central Plains on a large scale. ”
"My father, the Witch King, wants to invade the Central Plains?"
Ling'er's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "Doesn't he know how sharp the firearms of the Shenji Battalion are?" We also have the Demon Vassal Army and the Hero Alliance Praetorian Guard, with the military strength of Nanzhao Kingdom, there is no chance of victory, right? ”
"Who knows?" Luo Feng shrugged his shoulders and said: "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the ghost is not aware of it, maybe your father thinks that you are his daughter, everything you own should be his property, and he has the right to claim the Chinese Empire, and he is jealous of your current happy life, and wants to take the throne from you, just like he hurt your mother back then." ”
This was said straight to the heart, Ling'er's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she bit her lip and didn't speak, her mood was very complicated, and she didn't know whether to resent her father, or as a woman, she should endure and be filial.
"My dad is ...... I guess I'm going to hit my head and break the bloodstream. ”
After being silent for a while, Ling'er said quietly: "I just ask that Brother Luo led the army to defeat the Nanzhao army, so that he can save his life, after all, ...... He's my dad......"
"Alas......" Luo Feng sighed: "It's easy to say, if he only mobilizes the mortal army to attack, the poor monk will lead the army to destroy the Nanzhao Kingdom with a random general." It's a pity that your father appointed the Lunatic Sect Master as the national teacher, and used the witchcraft secret method to summon the ancient demonic beast to help in the battle, the ancient demonic beast is extremely fierce, I am afraid that I will not be able to hurt it even if I fill in all the troops of the Chinese Empire! ”
Ling'er suddenly woke up, and her dusty childhood memories revived, and she muttered: "Yes, my mother was just to seal the ancient demonic beasts...... Daddy is really obsessed, one way to the dark, he actually unlocked the seal of the water monster, and his mother sacrificed in vain......"
Luo Feng didn't mention the real mastermind behind the scenes, the Moon Worship Sect Master, and only talked about the Witch King, the purpose was to make Ling'er feel that this catastrophe had an inseparable relationship with her, and she had to stand up and solve it.
The repayment of father's debts and son's debts was a matter of course in ancient times, and it was the simple morality of the ancients, Ling'er was a girl who was deeply influenced by traditional moral thought, and naturally took the disaster caused by her father as her own responsibility.
Ling'er finally calmed down her emotions, sorted out the cause and effect, and said weakly: "But, having said so much, what does it have to do with the fact that I have to have a child immediately?" ”
"If you want to subdue the ancient demonic beasts, you can only rely on the power of Nuwa Niangniang, which means that this time in the national war between the Chinese Empire and the invading army of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Your Majesty must drive the expedition in person to have a chance of winning."
Luo Feng said eloquently: "Your Majesty's body of ten thousand gold, it should not be in danger, but the crisis of annihilation is just around the corner, in order to protect the people in the world, only the Son of Heaven can guard the country, and the king is dead." However, since ancient times, the king must leave the prince to conquer the country, so as not to die in the unfortunate battle, the country will fall apart without a leader, and even if the monster catastrophe is pacified, the people will still lose their current happy life, struggling in the warlord melee, and the day is precarious. ”
Ling'er is a kind and loving girl, thinking about Luo Feng's words repeatedly, even if she is reluctant, she has to admit that he has some sense.
Back then, her mother sacrificed her life to seal the Water Demon Beast, and now she is facing the Water Demon Beast, but I am afraid that she will die for a lifetime.
Her mother is a witch queen, and after her death, there is still a witch king in Nanzhao, but she is the only one in the Holy Chinese Empire, and if she dies, there is no heir to the country, and it is really possible to split the civil strife, and the war will sweep the Central Plains again.
Thinking about it this way, she can also understand that Luo Guoshi will be in a hurry to ask her to have a child immediately, it is indeed out of a public heart, and what she says is the words of the old man to seek the country.
The little girl blushed and said, "Okay, it's just...... All of a sudden, the family has a baby...... I don't even have a boyfriend yet...... How to give birth? ”
