Chapter 128: The Head and the King
"Do you know the consequences of your actions, do you know that once the news of the Moon Country that no one has inherited the throne spreads, how many people with ulterior motives will be ready to plot secretly?"
"Do you think this matter is just as simple as you being hunted down, do you know how many innocent people in the entire Moon Country will be implicated and die in the future power struggle?"
"Once my father is gone, the entire Moon Kingdom may fall apart and fall into a continuous war, don't you understand?"
Yue Luoning's eyes glared at Lin Si fiercely, and her mouth continued to reprimand angrily. "Co * Le * Words * Love * First * Hair ()" debuted
Lin Si argued: "You are alarmist, you will be so strict."
Although he is smart, he doesn't know much about government affairs, how could he think that hearing Yue Luoning say this from such a distance, it seems that he is going to become a sinner in the entire Yue Kingdom, and he can't help but feel a little empty.
Yue Luoning looked at him with eyes like an idiot, with hatred and contempt in his eyes.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Ye Hong to ask this friend next to you Once the Moon King has no heir, in the face of this empty throne, how many people will rush forward and the ministers of the court and the central government will guard the generals, who should support at that time, and once the people you support fail to take the throne, will they be suppressed by the new king, will there be resistance, will there be any rebellion, will there be any troops?"
Lin Si was speechless, looked at Ye Hong and Mu Zheping, and saw that the two of them nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Yue Luoning's words.
In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "Since your life is so important, then you will give me some peace along the way." If it goes well, I'll let you go then, and it's no good to kill you anyway. As for releasing people in advance, don't even think about it. I can't trust you, maybe I let you go today, and tomorrow you'll kill me with a bunch of people."
Yue Luoning was not happy because of his promise, but had a desolate face: "What's the use of letting people go, I will go back now and be known as a woman, what's the difference between this and not going back"
Although she has always targeted the king of the moon, she has ascended the throne in the name of a man, not as a woman. She was sure that as soon as she knew that she was a woman, those who now supported her as crown prince would immediately abandon her.
"The three of us don't say it, who knows, this one will be returned to you, you can continue to pretend, anyway, you have been pretending for so many years. After Lin Si finished speaking, he threw the voice change array back to Yue Luoning.
Yue Luoning was stunned and stretched out his hand to take the magic circle, and was a little surprised for a while.
Lin Si's generosity and cheerfulness made her feel a little unreal, so he returned this thing to her so lightly, and promised to keep it a secret, shouldn't he hate himself too, even if he wants to return it to himself, with his meanness, shouldn't he embarrass himself first
Looking at her suspicious gaze, Lin Si pouted and said: "Then why do you look at me, I don't seem to be a person who can't tell the difference, as long as you don't play any tricks, it's easy to say, you don't have to be moved, even if you are grateful, I won't let you go now."
"Whoever touched this thing was originally mine," Yue Luoning said angrily.
This person is really still so hateful, obviously his impression of him has just changed a little, and he was immediately ruined by his own words.
"Haha, Brother Lin is really human," Ye Hong laughed.
He originally thought that Lin Si was a bold, unscrupulous, and self-respecting person. I didn't expect him to be able to take care of the overall situation, and his impression of him suddenly became much better.
In fact, Lin Si could completely use Yue Luoning's identity as a woman, so that the two of them would never dare to have other thoughts along the way, even if they were rescued by the people of Yueguo in the end, I am afraid they would not dare to seek revenge from him again.
for there is a handle in his hand. And afterwards, he was even able to claim more benefits from it
But he didn't.
"It's easy to say, haha" Lin Si pretended to arch his hand at him, but asked with more mouths: "Why can't a woman be the king of the moon?"
Hearing his question, the other three people present looked at him with strange eyes.
Ye Hong smiled and said, "Brother Lin, this question is really difficult to answer."
Yue Luoning said lightly: "What is the bad answer, there has never been a woman as the king of the moon in history, and other countries on the mainland have also not produced queens, for thousands of years, it has been an ancestral system and practice for women not to be kings." β
"Then can't you be the first," Lin Si wondered.
As soon as he asked this question, Yue Luoning and Ye Hong had incredible looks in their eyes, but Mu Zheping was surprised.
Yue Luoning snorted coldly: "Do you really not understand or fake not to understand that a woman is king, there will be no one to support the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and the border guards will oppose me, I really doubt that you are a wild man who came out of the mountains."
Lin Sixin said, You really guessed right, I came out of the mountains.
"Why oppose it, you haven't tried it, how do you know that no one supports it, as long as it can make the Moon Kingdom stronger and the people live better, it doesn't matter if the Moon King is male or female"
"You're naΓ―ve, the people may not care who is the king of the moon, but the ministers will definitely strongly oppose it. Those who are old and stubborn will oppose it, those who conform to the rules will oppose it, and those who have ulterior motives will oppose it"
"Then you can't let them object, as long as you are strong enough, you have the final say in the entire Moon Country. Mu Zheping suddenly interjected.
"Even you think so" Yue Luoning was surprised, although she didn't know much about Mu Zheping, but in her eyes, Mu Zheping, who had been quiet all the way, should be a mature and rational person, unlike that Lin Si
How did she know that this person, who thought she was very mature and reasonable, would say such a thing that seemed extremely childish to her.
Becoming strong and the entire Moon Kingdom no longer has the power to resist, it is easy to say, but it is not taken for granted.
Also, Mu Zheping looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and it is normal for him to think like this at this age.
She didn't speak, it didn't mean that Lin Si couldn't speak.
"That is, a thousand years ago, the continent was ruled by the various sects, it is always true, among them, the three factions of the Outer Heaven and the Heaven are the strongest, and it is not wrong that one of the three factions of the Heart Palace is a man or a woman."
"That's different," Yue Luoning blurted out.
Of course, she knew that the heart palace was dominated by women, and the palace master had always been women, whether it was a thousand years ago or now.
But she suddenly shut her mouth. Yes, what's the difference, thousands of years ago, wasn't the heart palace the ruler of its territory, and that territory was not a country, and their palace master was not the king of that territory
Although the sect ruled a territory at that time, which was different from the current royal family, the sect was still mainly based on cultivation after all, and the high-level members of the sect generally did not personally manage the territory.
But since they can let women be in power, why can't they be the king of the moon
Ye Hong didn't notice the shock in Yue Luoning's heart, since he was a child, he had established the concept that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, although he couldn't react violently to Lin Si's deviant remarks, he definitely couldn't agree with it.
He couldn't help but argue: "The sect is different from the kingdom, when the sect was divided thousands of years ago, some ordinary people were selected from the territory to cooperate with the low-level disciples in the sect to manage, and because there are no laws, only rules, most of the people in the territory are chaotic and life is like grass. β
Lin Si retorted: "What you said has nothing to do with women in power, how could it not be the case with other sects where men were in power at that time."
"But the head is different from the king"
"What's the difference, isn't it all high up and in charge of others, to put it bluntly, it's not that you can't accept a woman standing on your head?"
"It's different, the palace master of the Heart Palace is one of the strongest in the sect, although she is a woman, others can only be convinced"
"Yes, then if Yue Luoning is so powerful that no one else in the Moon Kingdom is powerless to resist her, even if she wants to ascend the throne as a woman, can she only be convinced if others are different?"
"This" Ye Hong felt that Lin Si's words seemed to be a bit strong, but for a while, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Yue Luoning's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, not only because Lin Si's words made her thoughtful, but also because Lin Si's thoughts were very different from ordinary people, which made her heart
I have always been thinking about how to hide my identity, how to get my father's approval, and how to appease my ministers. I never thought that before ascending the throne, all the government and government of the Moon Kingdom were controlled by myself, and the forbidden army of Wangcheng and the guards of the major border armies also had their own people, so why should I be afraid that my daughter's body would be exposed
While she was still thinking about these thoughts, Mu Zheping's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
In fact, although no woman has been crowned king on the mainland for thousands of years, it is not uncommon for women to control the government. Not to mention far away, the current Bilan Empire, isn't it a woman in power?"
Yue Luoning reacted quickly: "You're talking about their queen mother, that's because their prince was only six years old when he succeeded to the throne. And the queen mother has not come to the front of the stage for several years, and she is still nominally a minister to assist the emperor in power. She didn't dare to be the emperor at all, otherwise there would be countless people against her immediately."
Mu Zheping smiled when she heard this: "Yes, you also said that it was in name, but in fact, she is now the de facto emperor in the Bilan Empire, which decision can only be implemented without her nod, if she wants, she can even abolish the current emperor and set up another one." β
"And it's not like this kind of thing for a woman to be an emperor, in my world, uh, that's wrong, I've seen it in a book. β
Lin Si said strangely: "What kind of book is a novel, the history of thousands of years should be clearly recorded, why have I never heard of it?"
Mu Zheping knew that he had lost his words, and almost exposed his biggest secret that even Lin Si didn't dare to tell sΓΉ.
He hurriedly made up a lie: "Ahem, the record in that book should be true, it happened a long, long time ago, there was no sect at that time, I don't know how many thousands of years ago, there was a royal family as now. β
The history of the continent 10,000 years ago has long been cut off, and there may still be some micro-records in some sects that have been handed down for thousands of years, but it is impossible for the other three people present to know.
"And then"
"And then there was never a woman in power at that time, but in a certain era, the largest empire on the continent at that time, called Tang, produced an empress"
Although Mu Zheping was supporting his opinion, Lin Si was still a little incredulous: "No, if there is such a thing, you won't make it up."
Not only him, but Yue Luoning and Ye Hong also looked incredulous. Because of this empire called the Don, they were unheard of.
"Well, it's not made up, that book doesn't look like it's fake, the empress has been on the throne for twenty-one years."
He gushed all the deeds of the empress that he could remember, including both her great achievements and her mistakes, both the shape of Tang before her birth, and the influence after her death.
It was only after half an hour that the other three regained their senses from what he had said.
"This story seems to be true," Lin Si muttered.
Ye Hong sighed: "This empress, although she has killed many people and done some wrong things, she can still be called a man of great talent, a heroine and a hero."
Yue Luoning was speechless, but at this time, her heart was already agitated. The empress in Mu Zheping's mouth was not as good as herself, but in the end she did something she couldn't have dreamed of.
The story Mu Zheping said has a beginning and an end, and it is reasonable and well-founded, and it cannot be made up temporarily. There are only two possibilities, either the author of the book imagined it, or the story is true.
Perhaps, from this day on, in addition to King Zhenchuan, there will be one more unknown empress she admires.
"What is the name of that book?" she asked, holding back her mind and asking again and again.
Mu Zheping was afraid that she would ask more questions, so that more things would be revealed, these people were extremely shrewd, and he had to say perfunctorily: "Ahem, I can't find that book, you just listen to it as a story As for the empress, the book says that her surname is Wu, you can call her the Empress Wu"
Lin Si clapped his hands: "Okay, it's very late at night, I'll keep vigil first, you all rest early, and you have to continue to rush tomorrow." β
Hearing this, several people lay down on the spot and prepared to sleep, Mu Zheping and Ye Hong quickly closed their eyes and fell asleep.
And Yue Luoning, who was lying on her side with her back to everyone, couldn't sleep, and in the dark night, her narrow phoenix eyes continued to shine with complex and incomprehensible light
