Jiusi couldn't bear to hear people say that, as if a woman had no other choice but to get married and have children.
In fact, she said, there were a lot of smart women in ancient times, especially those specially trained by their families. Whether it was management or other abilities, ordinary people could not compare with them.
To be honest, even if she lived two more lives, she still felt that she was not as good as those smart people. Some of them just had more to rely on.
But this is a feudal society after all, and she couldn't say anything else, so she only said her own thoughts: "Who said that women must get married and have children before they can take care of themselves in old age, but I don't!
Not to mention anything else, as far as the pension money I have saved is concerned, it will be okay if I don’t get married, but once I get married, I don’t know how I will be plotted against.
Besides, what's the benefit of getting married? It's just spending your own money to serve a family of strangers.
As for you and your ministers, one is for the inheritance of the ancestors and the other is for the interests of the family. Once you withdraw, the impact will be great. How can you compare with me, who can feed one person and the whole family is not hungry."
This was the first time the emperor heard this statement, and he couldn't help but feel surprised, but at the same time he also understood more and more the differences between Lin Jiusi and others.
Just like those old ministers, if others heard him say that, they would just think that he was praising those old men. Only she could hear the sarcasm in his words.
yes!
If you don't retire when you reach the age where you should retire, you are not a good, upright and honest official. What else can you do besides paving the way for the children of the family.
It would be fine if those people were all capable people, but they were all mediocre people who had nothing to do but made him very angry.
But those people can't hold on much longer. If they refuse to retreat, then don't retreat at all.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared again.
Jiusi noticed the hint of murderous intent, but did not react at all. He still looked indifferent.
When the emperor saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Your idea is quite strange, and it is quite deviant. I am not afraid of being heard and told to you.
But if you think about it carefully, what you said really makes some sense."
Hearing this, Jiusi glanced at him with a half-smile: "I only said this to you. If others find out, you can't escape the involvement.
It’s not a good reputation for the king of a country to gossip about his successors!”
The emperor was not annoyed after hearing this, and glanced at her with a smile: "Haha, you are a brave girl. If it had been anyone else, I would have had him chopped off long ago."
After hearing this, Jiusi shrugged nonchalantly: "I don't know about others, but I, you really may not be able to cut it."
The emperor finally figured it out. Now that the girl had left the Lin family, and her mother's grave had been moved to another place, she completely ignored her, and she no longer had any scruples about him.
But that's right, a person who has no weakness and is not afraid of death is really not something he can control.
After being silent for a while, he spoke again: "Don't you want to ask your sister-in-law Lin Daiyu?"
After hearing this, Jiusi chuckled and said, "I have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore. My father doesn't recognize me anymore. How can I still recognize my sister?"
When the emperor heard this, he stopped, turned to look at her and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have given you those two imperial edicts."
This way you won't become so out of control.
Although he didn't finish speaking, Jiusi understood what he was saying.
She stretched out a finger and shook it, stared at him seriously and said: "This, you are wrong.
The reason why I, Lin Jiusi, am willing to work for you and sacrifice my life for you is never for the Lin family. Everything I do is to give my mother freedom.
My mother's life was miserable, and she was never free throughout her life. When she was in her natal family, she was betrayed by her relatives. When she arrived at the Lin family, she became a tool for the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even on the day of her death, she was still an unfavored concubine.
It is ridiculous to say that she gave birth to a child for the Lin family, but she was not even qualified to be buried in the ancestral grave, so she could only be buried next to the Lin family.
Before she died, I asked her what she wanted?
She said she wanted to be free.
Then, as my daughter, of course I have to fulfill her last wish, so from the beginning to the end, what I did was not for the Lin family, but for that piece of holy book."
The emperor had checked her past, and he naturally knew about the sufferings their mother and daughter suffered, but he didn't think it was anything, because the royal battles were much more cruel than that.
It doesn't matter if they can't be buried in the ancestral grave. Some palace concubines can't even see their children without mentioning them. They don't even know where they died. It might be in that pool, in a dry well, or in the cold palace.
Definitely, some of them cannot be said to be the fate of mass graves.
He asked with some curiosity: "Since you were here for the imperial edict from the beginning, why did you go back to the Lin family? With your ability, if you want to get the imperial edict from me, it won't be difficult at all!"
Of course, Jiusi would not tell him that this was the meaning of heaven. He only said: "Maybe it's for that trace of warmth, not necessarily."
Her words were false at first glance, but she didn't want to say it, so the emperor didn't force her, and turned to talk about other things: "In a while, foreign envoys will visit, but they are not kind. I hope you
When the time comes, I can participate in it and give the other party a deterrent."
After hearing this, Jiusi looked at him with some confusion: "There are so many civil and military ministers in the court, as well as young and promising generals, aren't they enough for you?"
When the emperor heard this, he shook his head, looked at her seriously and said, "This visit is different from the past. It is not just a trial or a friendly exchange, but preparation for invasion.
Once something goes wrong, those people will seize the opportunity to start a war. Although the ministers in the court are all capable people, they may not be able to deal with the masters of the other party.
I have never seen through your strength, but I know that you are stronger than those secret guards, so I want you to be the one who holds the line, and then give those people a thunderous blow to scare them all."
When Jiusi heard this, he quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, your responsibility is too heavy!
Let’s not talk about anything else. Once I can’t deal with those people, then I will have to bear the blame for starting the war. I can’t take such a big blame, so you might as well replace it with someone else!”
Seeing her refusal, the emperor hurriedly said: "You don't need to bear the responsibility. You just need to help scare her. Even if the war finally breaks out, this matter will have nothing to do with you.
Don't worry, since I chose you to help, everything has been arranged and I guarantee that no one will bother you.
There's nothing I can do about it.
As early as when they submitted their credentials, I had already sent secret guards to test them. As a result, except for a few with relatively high kung fu who came back seriously injured, the others all left and never returned. It would be fine if they were others. But
It happened to involve starting a war.
To tell you the truth, although the national treasury is not as empty as before, it cannot cope with a long-term war. Once a war breaks out, won't it be the ordinary people who will suffer?"
