Chapter seventy-ninth, daughter love
Shi Zi practiced until midnight, and heard someone knocking outside the door, he knew that the queen had sent someone to urge him.
This is really strange. Those who give gifts also have to collect gifts and receive gifts quickly.
Shi Zi was also a little curious about the treasure the queen said, but when he opened the door, he did not see the gift. Only a female official told him that he would take him to a place under the order of the king.
Shi Zi did not doubt that he was, of course he was also very skilled and brave, so he followed her and walked around this strange palace for a long time, and finally arrived at his destination.
But there was a pavilion beside a pool. When the female official came here, she took her leave and asked him to wait here.
Shi Zi waited for a while before he couldn't help but headed straight towards the pavilion.
In fact, Shi Zi had long noticed who was here, but he didn't expect that the scenes in the TV series would actually happen to him.
When he walked into the pavilion, he saw a beautiful figure lying on his side in the pavilion surrounded by gauze.
Shi Zi did not lower his footsteps, so the people inside naturally heard it. The figure slowly turned around and sat up. It was not the king of the Kingdom of Women, who was it?
"Her Majesty, why are you here late at night?"
The queen asked with a smile: "Master, why is it here late at night?"
"I heard from the female official that Your Majesty asked me to come here to receive gifts, so I came..."
"Did you ever think that this gift is already in front of you?"
Shi Zi's heart moved, "Your Majesty means..."
The queen glanced at him, but suddenly turned her head shyly, and then said, "I looked at the daytime. What the Taoist priest said was for my Western Liang Kingdom. I wonder if the Taoist priest had any other reasons for his love?
"It's not that I don't believe in Taoist priests, but the Taoist priest has no relatives and no reason for our country. There is something even more... I don't know the origin, and it's inevitable that this great kindness will be frightening."
She did not answer positively, and Shi Zi did not rush to ask, "I said, I am not only for the sake of the Taoist sect, but also for the sake of cultivating myself, and I have no other ideas."
The queen's eyelids drooped slightly, obviously she didn't believe this, but she didn't refute it. Instead, she said: "Actually, the Taoist priest's idea has been tried for a long time, and she also hoped to invite immortals to treat it, but in the end they all failed. Can the Taoist priest know the reason?"
Shi Zi thought about it and said, "That Taoist is very powerful, and ordinary immortals may not dare to provoke him."
But the queen shook her head and said, "It's not the case. The reason is not the outside, nor the immortals, because we have never really invited her."
Shi Zi was stunned, and he didn't expect that there would be such a statement.
The queen said again: "Since the founding of the Western Liang Kingdom, our country has been dominated by women, and there is no child in the country. Not only can we not have children, but even ordinary men cannot settle in the country for a long time, and there is no marriage and the matchmaker hires him.
"Although it is like this, the Taoist priest thinks that all the people in this country are voluntarily doing this?"
Shi Zi shook his head. Of course he knew that it was impossible to do so voluntarily. Not to mention anything else, some of the things he saw in the city were enough to prove that many citizens were almost suffocating.
The queen sighed and said, "Since the founding of the country of Xiliang, there have been regulations, but people's hearts are changing. Perhaps it was out of justice and kindness, but now it is inappropriate, but no one has ever been concerned about it.
"Everyone thinks only himself, and only the benefits they can get from it. They don't want to change, nor dare to change. But I don't want to!
"In the eyes of Taoist priest, the spring of fetal detachment was occupied by evil people, and it was a disaster for my Xiliang Kingdom; but in my opinion, if we can use this to eliminate the stubborn disease, it may not be a blessing for the Xiliang Kingdom!"
Shi Zi murang. He thought Ruyi Zhenxian was hateful before, and the citizens of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom were pitiful. Later, after thinking deeply, he felt something was wrong.
And now it seems that it is right or wrong. Ruyi Zhenxian is indeed for his selfish desires, but his behavior itself, from another perspective, seems to be a good thing.
The citizens of Xiliang Kingdom may be pitiful, even those who ban men can be said to be forced to do so, but the domestic senior officials may not be able to do so.
No wonder the Queen had to wait until now that the two were alone before they came to say this to her.
But, what exactly does she want to do?
At this time, the queen said again: "After the fetal spring water was occupied, many people felt panic at the beginning, but over time, it became a habit. Some people even used this to avoid the water of the mother and mother river, and even I was no exception..."
This is because the domestic population is not large and the base is not large enough, so the impact will be very small. Otherwise, if this happens, there will be a crisis of negative population growth.
But the queen said: "Someone in China wants to ask for help from outside, but I reject it. It is easy to change the habits of the people, but it is difficult to change the national ancestral system. I can only choose and start with myself."
Shi Zi asked, "How is it called starting from yourself?"
"There is no case of marriage between men and women in the Western Liang Kingdom. Even if the successive lords are determined to find the king's choice, there is no suitable candidate. The 'famous' of the Western Liang Kingdom is outside, and no one can easily reach their feet. However, the Taoist priest actually fell from the sky..."
Speaking of this, the queen glanced at Shi Zi, lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a stiff and elongated tone as if she was reading the script:
"If you and I can form a good marriage. Then, if we are in the Western Liang Kingdom, we will be effective in the upper and lower levels. Within ten years, recruiting son-in-law from the outside will become a trend. If there is a combination of men and women, there will naturally be no distinction between men and women. There is no need to care about giving birth to a child, and then there is no need to see the fetal spring, nor will it have to fall into the fetal spring.
"In the future, there will be no Western Liang Kingdom, only the Western Liang Kingdom. There will be no queen, only the king."
Finally, her gaze turned to Shi Zi again, because only he agreed to this idea was the key, "I don't know how to do it?"
Shi Zi understood that the queen was indeed very thoughtful, and she clearly wanted a top-down reform.
As the lord of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, her authority is naturally unquestionable, and her every move will have a great impact on the people.
If the so-called tradition is broken by her combination with an outsider, then the upward and downward effect may set off a tide in the country, and then, without realizing it, the changes she desires can be achieved.
Thinking of this, Shi Zi suddenly remembered that when she "originally" wanted to recruit a son-in-law Tang Seng, was it because she was holding on to this idea?
Tang Seng himself may not be a big deal. After all, most people don’t know his identity as Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation. However, he was ordered by Emperor Tang to seek scriptures in the West and was awarded the title of Imperial Brother, so he was considered a match with the Queen.
Their combination will naturally have enough impact, and the key is how Tang Monk chooses.
Of course, some people think that what the queen values more is that marriage with Tang Seng can make the Tang Dynasty a foreign aid for the Western Liang Kingdom.
Shi Zi felt that she would not have expected that if Tang Seng merged with her here, it would have been equivalent to giving up the task of going to the West to obtain scriptures, which would have violated the orders of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then the identity of the Emperor's brother would have lost its meaning.
So instead of saying that the Queen values the help of the Tang Dynasty, it is better to say that she just wants to use such an excuse to suppress domestic opposition voices and carry out her own reforms.
During the day, Shi Zi felt that this queen was not simple, but she didn't expect that she had such ambitions.
