After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 133 The Son Is Not Like the Father
Unable to tell what Emperor Shao Wu's attitude was, Li Xian could only guess - at the banquet, so many military ministers asked for a fight, but the young father-emperor did not say a word. During the small court meeting, Yang Shangshu was quarreling with the Confucian scholars, and Yang Shangshu was always the father-emperor. People like me always follow the emperor’s wishes...

Could it be that his father was afraid of Donghu's military power and was willing to marry his daughter?So he tentatively said:
"My minister believes that Donghu has conquered many tribes in the grassland and is now gaining momentum. We should avoid its sharp influence. Yelvbulo Jin, as the left virtuous king of Donghu, came to the capital in person to propose to marry his younger sister. He is full of sincerity.

And we will also sign a covenant of friendship and non-aggression between the two countries under the witness of heaven, earth and all the people. If the people of the two countries can enjoy peace forever, my little sister was born in the royal family and has enjoyed all the honors since she was a child. Now she has to be aggrieved for the sake of family and country affairs. It is also the proper meaning. "

"Oh, then do you think the covenant signed with Donghu is credible?" Emperor Shao Wu asked again,
After hearing what his eldest son said, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He didn't expect Li Xian to be so naive and hold the ignorant idea that Wei and Donghu could coexist peacefully.

"This, Yelu Zaku is also the leader of a country, so it should...should be credible." Li Xian looked at Emperor Shao Wu's face again and answered hesitantly.

"Then what should you do if Yelu Zaku is shameless and breaks the covenant?" Emperor Shao Wu continued to press Li Xian,

"My sons, my sons, we must form a large army to fight against Dong Hu..."

Before Li Xian could finish speaking, Empress Lou couldn't bear it anymore, "Beast, Fengyang is your biological sister, and you actually asked her to get married. How could I give birth to a beast like you who doesn't care about family ties?" She heard from Li Xian She was so angry that she was actually willing to marry Fengyang.

Hearing Queen Lou's stern scolding, Li Xian was so frightened that he immediately changed his tune.

"Mother, please calm down. I just said something wrong. I just said it. My little sister is innocent and cute, and I love her so much. How could I let her marry Bu Luojin? I, the great Wei Erlang, am not afraid of Dong Hu, so why should I be afraid of a verbal battle?" .”

He repeatedly denied that adding compensation was not the case.

Emperor Shao Wu was even more disappointed when he saw his son's weakness and lack of control. In fact, it didn't matter whether Li Xian chose to fight Dong Hu or make peace here!
Because as a king, every choice you make does not matter whether it is right or wrong, good or bad!
Because almost all the things that the Lord faces, all the choices are mixed, both good and bad, and there is an element of gambling!
Just like every choice he made in life, there were no absolute benefits. His road to becoming emperor was by no means smooth sailing.

It doesn’t matter what you choose, what’s important is that after you choose it, you must do it unswervingly and overcome all difficulties, and then let this matter only have one result!That's success!
Emperor Shao Wu thought of the most critical choice in his life——

That was ten years ago. After a fierce competition, there were only two vassal states in the north, Da Wei and Da Qi, coexisting, one on the left and the other on the right. As long as the other party was eliminated, Da Qi or Da Wei could unify the north. ,

But the situation at that time was that Da Qi was much stronger than Da Wei in all aspects, including economy, politics, military, culture...

The two countries fought, and Wei lost more and won less. The most dangerous time was when Wei was retreating steadily, and Qi troops came to the city. Wei was left with only a lonely capital.
The Emperor of Da Qi publicly promised the people of the world that as long as he surrendered, he would retain his title and would not be liquidated.

To be honest, the terms of surrender were so generous that many civil and military ministers and even confidants in the court persuaded him to surrender to Da Qi!Even his relatives, the Lou family, persuaded him to surrender to the Emperor of Da Qi!

For him at that time, was it to keep fighting?Or surrender?The consequences of both choices are unknown.

If you choose to surrender, you will have to live by the eyes of the Emperor of Da Qi from now on, and your life and death will depend on others.
Or just take a gamble and fight to the death, betting that Daqi will not be able to capture the capital!

As a result, his bet was successful. Daqi besieged Yujing City for half a year, but still failed to break through this thousand-year-old capital, and finally had to retreat in despair.And he died of illness soon after returning. Daqi fell into a turbulent period when the new king came to the throne. He took advantage of this opportunity to accumulate strength. Not only did he defeat Daqi and unify the north, he also attacked and destroyed the Chen Kingdom in the south a year ago and unified the country. Take over the world!
Whether to agree to Bu Luo Jin's marriage proposal now, although the situation seems different from what he faced then, the two are essentially the same. There is an important distinction between the great Wei and Dong Hu.
There are advantages and disadvantages to getting married, and there are advantages and disadvantages to not getting married to Donghu. There is no absolute good or bad right or wrong between the two.

But once a king has made a choice, he should not change his mind easily. The most important character of a king is decisiveness. Once he has made a choice, he must implement it at all costs, instead of changing his opinion as soon as someone tells him.

But obviously, Li Xian does not have this character.

Seeing Li Xian lowering his head, Emperor Shao Wu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Oh! I am not like my father! How pitiful!"

In fact, Emperor Shao Wu and Queen Lou had to bear most of the blame for Li Xian's indecisive character.

The two of them are too strong and firm in their opinions. The most important thing is that they always love to test Li Xian. Li Xian is also the country's crown prince. They have high hopes for him and will scold him if he makes the slightest mistake.

In order to avoid being scolded, Li Xian developed the habit of speaking based on their faces, and over time he lost his independent opinions.The whole person appears indecisive and easily influenced.

"Xian'er, hesitating and changing orders at dawn and at night is a taboo for a king!" Shao Wu couldn't help but remind him. Unfortunately, a person's character has been fixed for a long time and cannot be changed.

"Chen'er, tell me, should Fengyang marry?" After Emperor Shao Wu took the exam for his eldest son, he naturally had to take the exam for his second son as well.
Although Li Chen also cares about the relationship between brother and sister, his character is more like Emperor Shao Wu - as long as marrying Fengyang to Donghu can bring practical benefits, he is willing to marry Fengyang, even if he also loves Fengyang,
But unfortunately, he knew that Dong Hu was not a person who abided by the covenant, and the grassland people were never honest, so Emperor Shao Wu would not let Fengyang marry Bu Luo Jin, and he was not willing to marry either.

So Li Chen’s opinion is obvious!
"My little sister, Tianhuang Guizhou, is the direct princess of the Great Wei Dynasty. Her status is so noble. Donghu Buluojin is just an unscrupulous person from the grassland. How can my little sister marry far away?"

Li Chen's first words spoke to Queen Lou's heart. She looked at her second son with satisfaction and completely ignored the eldest son who lowered his head next to her.
"Kang Donghu Khan and Yelu Zaku are ambitious men who killed their fathers and brothers, and it is absolutely impossible to expect that a marriage contract will make them give up their plans to invade the Wei Dynasty southward.

Moreover, there will be a battle sooner or later between the Wei Dynasty and Donghu. How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?If the sons and ministers are in charge of government, they will destroy Donghu in this life, so as not to cause harm to their descendants. "

Li Chen was expressing his political leanings to Prime Minister Shao Wu Emperor and Queen Lou. Sure enough, his words successfully made Emperor Shao Wu and Queen Lou see his political foresight and courage.

At this point, Queen Lou and Emperor Shao Wu both nodded with satisfaction at Li Chen's answer.

"My son is like me!" Emperor Shao Wu couldn't help blurting out these words because of Li Xian's pretentious comparison.

Hearing this, Li Xian, who had been lowering his head, looked even more gloomy...

In fact, Emperor Shao Wu and Queen Lou were initially inclined to agree to Dong Hu's marriage proposal, but what Bu Luo Jin did changed their minds.
