It was a sacrifice to God, and it was the glory of all pure women. However, he no longer wanted this "glory" to fall on any of the women closest to him.
King Dayan was trembling all over. He only knew that there was a rule in the Northern Kingdom of "Killing the mother when a son is born", which has been followed for more than a hundred years since the founding of the country. However, he never knew that there was this rule about the sacrifice of a holy virgin. He was trembling:
"However, it is said that His Majesty the Northern Emperor has abolished two barbaric rules since you ascended the throne..."
"You think that's barbaric?"
Lao Wang didn't dare to look at his piercing eyes, kept silent, and sacrificed people. Isn't it barbaric? A woman who gave birth to a prince was killed instead, wasn't it barbaric?
Luo Jia said calmly: "You live in the Central Plains and are influenced by the customs of the Central Plains. Do you know that 'raising a son and killing his mother' is not a tradition in our northern country? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came old and made Mrs. Gou Yi's son the crown prince. The son is weak and the mother is strong.
I was afraid that the harem would interfere with the government and cause incest in the government, so I killed Mrs. Gou Yi. Is this so strange?"
The old King Yan sweated slightly on his forehead and murmured: "But, I only heard about killing the mother to create a son, but not about the sacrifice of the holy virgin. There is no... no such precedent..."
Luo Jia spread his hands: "Well, I don't know why our ancestors established this strange rule. I also think it's inappropriate, but the courtiers are unwilling to abolish it, and I can't..."
When he said this, he glanced at Fang Fei and saw that she was looking around, not realizing that what was being discussed was the misfortune he was about to face. King Lao Yan also looked at the little girl, as if he knew for the first time
, this is the first time that my daughter understands what terrible abyss she will be pushed into.
"Recently, I have been dreaming about the sky frequently. After thinking about it, I have been fighting for many years, and I should let my ancestors share the glory. Treasures and livestock alone are not enough to shine on my filial piety in the north. Therefore, I must follow the ancestral system and comfort their spirits in heaven. But
, My daughters are too young to take on this important task of offering sacrifices to heaven, so I am planning to adopt a daughter."
Everyone's expression changed. Luojia's intention couldn't be more obvious. He bluntly said that he wanted Fangfei just to replace his daughters as sacrifices.
King Yan was sweating profusely.
Luojia added: "Your Majesty, King Dayan, if you have any objections, you can take back your little princess..."
King Dayan looked happy, and Luo Jia added calmly, "However, a holy virgin princess is worth ten thousand gold ingots."
Originally, the price of a princess was one thousand taels of gold ingots. How could Fang Fei alone be worth 10 princesses? Everyone's eyes widened.
In order to pay the war compensation, King Dayan sold all his dragon robes until only one set was left. His only hope was that he and his concubines would not be kidnapped.
He is a king, but also a father? Does he want ten thousand ingots of gold, or his daughter's life? At this time, not only the others, but even Luo Jia was sweating, staring at the old king's expression, and his tone was pretentious
Bingdan: "I am not an unreasonable person. After all, gold is always worth less than human life, right?"
Lao Wang said "Hmm", and Concubine Zhang next to him suddenly coughed, holding the teacup in her hands, inadvertently, as if she had choked on the tea. Lao Wang looked at his daughter, and saw the child's eyes moving towards her.
, he hurriedly looked away. Luojia followed his gaze all the time, and saw the curious big eyes under the ugly thing's head moving constantly. She finally understood that the man in front of her was a king, and he was the one who defeated the great king.
The chief culprits of the Yan Kingdom, those flower trees, were the ones he ordered to be dug out and removed. She stared at him angrily, wondering why she knelt down to him.
A long line of clear snot dripped down her nose, but she seemed not to notice it, raising her sleeve to wipe it. The standing maid wanted to scold her, but she didn't dare in front of the public. At this moment, she was a child again, purely
The child is definitely not the little devil he was when he used boiling water to water the flowers last night.
Luo Jia suddenly felt a little compassion in her heart. As long as Old Yan King persisted, maybe he would let this ugly thing go. Let her go, not even the ten thousand gold ingots. However, at this time, Old Yan King
How dare you protect your daughter? He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Fei is dedicated to you. How to deal with it is entirely up to Your Majesty."
Luojia suddenly felt empty in her heart. What about the nature of a father and a daughter? It's fake and people are selfish.
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and hit her hard on the forehead. The child said "oh" in pain, covered her forehead and stared at him. But he smiled indifferently: "Ugly thing,
Maybe you are not worth ten thousand gold ingots. I have to do the math, do the math..."
The old King Yan became anxious and prostrated on the ground: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to do this for your great kindness..."
He stood up suddenly, feeling excited. The monarch of the enemy country knelt down and begged for mercy, asking him to "mercy" and burn his daughter to death. Victory, this is victory.
Satisfied, Luo Jia took Fang Fei's hand and pointed at King Dayan: "Ugly thing, do you hear that? Your father sold you to me for ten thousand ingots of gold."
Fang Fei seemed to understand, her eyes were wandering around, not understanding what "sell to me" meant. Luo Jia took another look at her forehead and frowned. It seemed that this ugly girl not only had a bad appearance, but also had a brain.
He is not smart, he has no heart and no heart. No matter what, stupid people often live more happily.
He waved his hand, and the ceremony officer understood his intention and cleared his throat: "The ceremony is completed, princess, please salute your father."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Fangfei's fate was sealed.
