Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

"Auntie Huang is so powerful, so she doesn't want to join the uncle in conquering the world and competing for power?"

Shen Ning put the casserole aside and stared at the hot soup in the bowl for a moment before saying, "Actually, I don't like fighting."

"Huh?" Princess Pingyao was surprised.

"Every war means that countless people will die on the battlefield, many families will be destroyed, and wives and children will be separated." Shen Ning said calmly, "For the country, the loss of the treasury is also huge. If the treasury has no money, the king and the powerful will They will find ways to plunder the people. If they plunder too much, they will not be able to survive. They will sell their wives and daughters, and the lives will be ruined... Therefore, fighting for years will not do any good to the country except for making meritorious service to the general. "

The eldest princess of Pingyao thought about her words: "Although what the emperor said makes sense, war is not something that a general can decide."

Shen Ning snorted: "I only said that I hate war, but I didn't say whose fault it was. If a foreign enemy invades, the general will go to the battlefield to protect the family and the country; if the king is ambitious, the general will expand the territory. Standing on the battlefield Different positions have different attitudes towards war.”

Pingyao didn't say anything, and neither did Ji Yucang.

"But some things are not without better solutions." Shen Ning sat down on the stool again, "If the king is wise, uses wise ministers, treats military generals well, and does not forget to train soldiers and horses in peacetime to make the soldiers and horses strong, then foreign enemies can Those who are ambitious will not dare to invade easily.”

As for developing national strength and filling the national treasury, we must first improve people's livelihood.

This cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and specific matters must be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

The eldest princess of Pingyao thought thoughtfully: "In this way, if I sit on the throne, I will first have to work hard for the Yong Kingdom. I will also find ways to appoint strong generals and train invincible soldiers and horses, so that the Yong Kingdom will become a foreign enemy. A powerful country that dares not invade?”

"They are in charge of their own affairs." Shen Ning said, "If the king ignores the affairs of the state, traitors and villains will be in power, and the people will be miserable, and the country and family may be destroyed right before their eyes."

The corners of Princess Pingyao's mouth twitched, thinking that in the days after taking the throne of God, she would probably have to live in a pile of memorials every day and be irritated by the civil and military officials of the dynasty frequently "starting memorials to the emperor".

She couldn't help but retreat: "Forget it, I'll just be my eldest princess. Hug her from left to right, so happy."

It is really not her interest to go to court and discuss politics step by step.

Not to mention anything else, just getting up before dawn every day and going to bed is completely inconsistent with her lazy nature. She likes to sleep until she wakes up naturally, likes days when no one is restrained, and likes to be free and do as she pleases.

Thinking of the boring and complicated government affairs and the pedantic old men in the court who were over fifty years old, Princess Pingyao felt that being the emperor was not a good job.

She stood up and saluted Ji Yucang solemnly: "My niece has spoken out loud just now, and I would like to apologize to the emperor. I am not a mediocre person who can be qualified to be the emperor, but I can support the emperor's uncle to ascend the throne."

After saying this, without waiting for Ji Yucang's response, she turned and left, as if she didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

Ji Yucang and Shen Ning stared at her hurried away figure without saying a word, and were speechless for a moment.

After a moment, she turned to look at Ji Yucang: "Did I scare her?"

"No." Ji Yucang's voice was calm, "She is very courageous, but she just has a deeper understanding of the throne."

Shen Ning hummed and handed the soup to Ji Yucang: "But if the eldest princess really wants to quit, what are you going to do?"

Ji Yucang took the soup and looked at Shen Ning's face: "Don't you think you will be a good person in power?"

Even though he is carrying a blood feud, he still maintains his compassion for all the people in the world. He hates war not because of fear, but because he doesn't want to see too many casualties.

Leading the army for seven years was not for military glory, but just to end the war as soon as possible and return the people to a stable life.

If such a person is lucky enough to be born as a man, he must be Nan Zhao's most qualified heir. Now Nan Zhao will not face the dilemma of borrowing troops from other countries.

However, after seven years of fighting, she did not get everything she wanted. The country was ultimately destroyed in the hands of the two people she trusted most.

"Me?" Shen Ning was startled, then slowly shook her head, "I'm not that capable."

"I think you can." Ji Yucang insisted, as if to persuade her, "Most of the military power of Yong State is now in my hands. As long as you are willing-"

"Ji Yucang." Shen Ning frowned, not understanding what he was thinking, "You are of royal blood, so it is reasonable to usurp the throne with troops, but I am only the legitimate daughter of the Duke's palace, not a queen or a princess, how could you do that? Do you think so?"

No matter what her previous status was or what abilities she had, at least here in the Yong Kingdom, she was just the daughter of the Duke and now the regent princess.

There is no reasonable reason for her to be the leader of the Yong Kingdom.

"If you want it, even if you can't be the queen, you can still be the regent queen." Ji Yucang raised his hand and rubbed her head. "The only regret is that we may not have our own children in this life, so..."

Shen Ning felt that he was thinking too far.

She really had no interest in the Queen Regent.

only……

Thinking of what she had just said to Princess Pingyao, Shen Ning frowned for a moment.

Yong State currently has Ji Yucang in power, and it is still relatively strong for the time being. However, if Ji Yucang continues to be in power after next year, he will be suspected of controlling the government.

Some things should have a clear result when the time comes.

She was blinded by hatred before and didn't want to think too much about anything. However, seeing Han Xun and torturing Han Xun satisfied the fire of revenge in her heart. She found that she still hadn't found a clear goal.

Even though Ji Yucang said that she would travel around the world in the future, she had no expectations or desires at all.

Privately speaking, she hopes that the world will be peaceful forever. Although she knows that this is a luxury wish, she is still willing to do her best to achieve it.

Deep in her heart, she always had compassion for all the people in the world. Maybe it was because she had seen too many life, separation and death in those seven years. People who were alive one moment had their eyes closed forever the next moment.

She has an unforgettable experience of life and death, so she doesn't want to see the people in poverty, their wives and children separated, and she can't bear to see too many people living in dire straits.

But if we want peace in the world, it may take a long, long time...

"Shen Ning." Ji Yucang's eyes fell on the soup in his hand, "Don't you regret it?"

regret?

Shen Ning looked at him puzzled, and then understood what he meant. After thinking about it, she said: "Rationally speaking, this is a deal. Only if I detoxify you can you live longer, and I can have a chance." Use your power to do what I want, so you don’t have to think I’m doing it for you.”
