Chapter 128 The Head and the King

"Do you know the consequences of what you do? Do you know how many people with ulterior motives will be ready to plot secretly once the news spreads that no one in the Moon Kingdom will succeed to the throne?"

"Do you think it's as simple as you being hunted down? Do you know how many innocent people in the entire Moon Kingdom will be implicated and die in future power struggles?"

"Once my father dies, the entire Moon Kingdom may fall apart and fall into continuous war! Do you understand!"

Yue Luoning stared fiercely at Lin Si with eyes like fire, and kept angrily reprimanding her.

Lin Si protested: "Are you scaremongering? Will it be that serious?"

Although he is smart, he doesn't know much about government affairs, how could he think so far?Hearing what Yue Luoning said, it seemed like he was about to become a sinner for the entire Yue Kingdom, so he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Yue Luoning looked at him like an idiot, with hatred and contempt in his eyes.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ye Hong! Ask your friend next to you! Once the Moon King has no heir, how many people will rush to the vacant throne! Who should I support? And once the person I support fails to take over, will they be suppressed by the new king, will there be resistance, will there be soldiers..."

Lin Si was speechless, looked at Ye Hong and Mu Zheping, and saw that they nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Yue Luoning's words.

In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "Since your life is so important, then you should give me peace of mind along the way. If it goes well, I will let you go. Anyway, killing you is no good. As for letting go in advance People, don't even think about it. I can't trust you, maybe if I let you go today, tomorrow you will bring a bunch of people to kill me!"

Yue Luoning was not happy with his promise, but instead had a desolate look on his face: "Let people go? What's the use? Now I go back and people know I'm a woman. What's the difference between that and not going back?"

Although she has always aimed at the Moon King, she ascended the throne in the name of a man, not a woman.She is sure that once she knows that she is a woman, those who support her as a prince will immediately abandon her.

"If the three of us don't say anything, who will know? Now, I'll return this to you, and you can continue to pretend. You've been pretending for so many years anyway." After Lin Si finished speaking, he threw the voice-changing circle back to Yue Luo. rather.

Yue Luoning stretched out his hand to take the magic circle in a daze, feeling a little confused for a while.

Lin Si's magnanimity and straightforwardness made her feel a little unreal. He returned this thing to her so easily, and promised to keep it a secret?Shouldn't he hate himself too?Even if he wants to return it to himself, with his meanness, shouldn't he embarrass himself hard first?

Seeing her suspicious eyes, Lin Si pouted and said, "Then why are you looking at me? Do I seem to be someone who can't tell the difference? As long as you don't play tricks, everything is easy to talk about! Also, you don't have to be moved , even if you are grateful, I will not let you go now!"

"Who was moved? This thing was originally mine!" Yue Luoning said angrily.

As expected, this person is still so hateful. Obviously, his impression of him has just changed a little, but he was immediately ruined by his own words.

"Haha! Brother Lin is really very human!" Ye Hong laughed.

He originally thought that Lin Si was a bold, unscrupulous, and self-respecting person.I didn't expect him to take care of the overall situation, and my impression of him was much better.

In fact, Lin Si could completely use Yue Luoning's identity as a woman as a threat, so that the two of them would never dare to have other thoughts along the way, and even if they were finally rescued by the Yue people, they might not dare to seek revenge from him.

Because there is a handle in his hands.And afterwards, he can even ask for more benefits!

But he didn't.

"It's easy to say, haha!" Lin Si cupped his hands at him pretendingly, but then asked, "Why can't a woman be the king of the moon?"

Hearing his question, the other three present looked at him with strange eyes.

Ye Hong laughed and said, "Brother Lin, this question is really... difficult to answer!"

Yue Luoning said indifferently: "Is there anything difficult to answer? There has never been a woman who was the king of the moon in history, and no other country in the mainland has had a queen. custom."

"Then can't you be the first one?" Lin Si asked doubtfully.

As soon as he asked this question, Yue Luoning and Ye Hong had incredulous expressions in their eyes, while Mu Zheping looked surprised.

Yue Luoning snorted coldly: "Are you really ignorant or are you pretending to be ignorant? If a woman becomes king, no one will support her at all! The court ministers and border guards will all object! I really doubt that you are a savage from the mountains!"

Lin Sixin said, you guessed it right, I came from the mountains.

"Why do you oppose it? How do you know that no one supports you if you haven't tried it? As long as it can make the Moon Kingdom stronger and the people's lives better, doesn't it matter whether the Moon King is a man or a woman?"

"You are too naive. The common people may not care who is the Moon King, but the ministers will definitely oppose it strongly. Those old and stubborn will oppose it, those who stick to the rules will oppose it, and those with ulterior motives will even oppose it!"

"Then you won't be able to oppose them. As long as you are strong enough, you will have the final say on the entire Yue Kingdom." Mu Zheping interrupted suddenly.

"Even you think so?" Yue Luoning was very surprised. Although she didn't know much about Mu Zheping, in her eyes, the quiet Mu Zheping along the way should be a mature and rational person, unlike that Lin Si... …

Who would have thought that this person who she thought was very mature and rational would say such a thing that she thought was extremely naive.

become stronger?The entire Yue Kingdom no longer has the power to resist?It's easy to say, but it's not taken for granted.

That's right, Mu Zheping only looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and it's normal for him to be so self-righteous at this age.

She didn't speak, it doesn't mean that Lin Si can't speak.

"That's right, it's true that the mainland was ruled by various sects thousands of years ago? It's true that the three sects of Tianwaitian are the strongest, right? Is the owner of the Heart Palace of one of the three sects male or female?"

"That's different..." Yue Luoning blurted out.

Of course she knows that the heart palace is dominated by women, and the palace owner has always been a woman, whether it was a thousand years ago or now.

But she suddenly shut up.yeah, what's the difference?Thousands of years ago, wasn't the Heart Palace the ruler of its territory?Isn't that territory a country?Isn't their palace lord the king of that territory?

Although the sect ruled a territory at that time, which was different from the current royal family, the sect still focused on cultivation after all, and the management of the territory was generally not personally experienced by the senior sect.

But since they can let women take power, why can't they be the Moon King?
Ye Hong didn't notice the shock in Yue Luoning's heart. He had established the concept that women should not interfere in politics since he was a child. Although he didn't react strongly to Lin Si's deviant remarks, he definitely couldn't agree with them.

He couldn't help arguing: "Sects are different from kingdoms. Thousands of years ago, when the sects were separated, some ordinary people were selected from the subordinate territories to cooperate with the low-level disciples in the sect to manage them. Moreover, because there are no laws but only rules, most of the territories are chaotic and lifeless. .”

Lin Si retorted: "What you said has nothing to do with women being in power. Isn't that the case with other sects where men were in power at that time?"

"But the master is different from the king!"

"What's the difference? Aren't they all controlling others? To put it bluntly, isn't it that you can't accept a woman standing on top of you?"

"It's different. The Palace Master of the Heart Palace is one of the most powerful in the sect. Although she is a woman, others can only be convinced!"

"That's right, if Yue Luoning is so powerful that no one else in Yue Kingdom can resist her, even if she wants to ascend the throne as a woman, will others just be convinced?"

"This..." Ye Hong felt that Lin Si's words seemed to be a little forceful, but for a while, he couldn't find any reason to refute.

Yue Luoning's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, not only because Lin Si's words made her thoughtful, but also because Lin Si's thoughts were very different from ordinary people's, and she really liked her!

I have always been thinking about how to hide my identity, how to get the approval of my father and king, and how to appease the officials.It never occurred to me that if before ascension to the throne, all the government affairs of the Yue Kingdom were controlled by him, and the imperial guards in the royal city and the guards of the major frontier armies also had their own people, then why should I be afraid of my daughter being exposed by others?

While she was still thinking about these thoughts, Mu Zheping's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"In fact, although there have been no women on the mainland for thousands of years, it is not uncommon for women to control the government. Not to mention, isn't the current Bilan Empire a woman in power?"

Yue Luoning quickly reacted: "You are talking about their queen mother? That's because their prince was only six years old when he succeeded to the throne. Moreover, that queen mother has not come to the stage for several years, and she is still an assistant to the minister in name. The emperor is in power. She dare not claim the title of emperor at all, otherwise countless people will immediately oppose her!"

Mu Zheping laughed and said: "Yes, you also said that it is in name, but in fact she is the actual emperor in the Bilan Empire. Which decision can be implemented without her nodding? If she If you want, you can even abolish the current emperor and set up another one."

"And it's not that such a thing as a woman proclaiming the emperor has never happened. In my world, er, I'm wrong. I read it in a book."

Lin Si asked strangely: "What book? It's a novel again, right? The history of thousands of years should be clearly recorded. Why haven't I heard of it?"

Mu Zheping knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and almost revealed his biggest secret that even Lin Si dared not tell.

He quickly made up a lie: "Hey, the records in that book should be true. It happened a long, long time ago. At that time, there were no sects. I don't know how many thousands of years ago. At that time, there was also a royal family just like now."

The history of the mainland ten thousand years ago has long been cut off, and there may be some records in some sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, but it is impossible for the other three people present to know.

"and then?"

"And there was never a woman in power at that time, but in a certain era, the largest empire on the mainland called Tang, there was a queen..."

Although Mu Zheping was proving his own point of view, Lin Si still couldn't believe it: "No way? Such a thing really happened? You couldn't make it up, did you?"

Not only him, Yue Luoning and Ye Hong also showed disbelief.Because of this empire called 'Tang', they had never heard of it.

"Uh, it's not made up. That book doesn't look fake. The queen has been in power for 21 years..."

He talked endlessly about all the deeds of the empress he could remember, including her great achievements and mistakes, both the situation of Tang before her birth and the influence after her death.

After half an hour, the other three people recovered from his narration.

"This story seems to be true..." Lin Si murmured.

Ye Hong sighed: "Although this empress has killed many people and done some wrong things, she can still be called a heroic talent, a female heroine!"

Yue Luoning didn't say anything, but at this moment her heart was already agitated.The empress that Mu Zheping was talking about was not as good as himself, but in the end he did something that he never dreamed of.

The story that Mu Zheping told has its beginning and end, it is well-founded, and it cannot be fabricated temporarily.There are only two possibilities, either the author of that book imagined it, or the story is true.

Perhaps, from this day on, besides King Zhenchuan, there will be another unknown empress among the people she admires.

"What's the name of that book? Where did you see it? What's the name of that queen?" She suppressed her mind and asked again and again.

Mu Zheping was afraid that she would ask more questions, so that she would reveal more things. These people are extremely shrewd, so he had to perfunctory: "Hey, I can't find that book, you just listen to it as a story... As for the Empress, the book says her surname is Wu, you can call her Empress Wu..."

Lin Si clapped his hands: "Okay, it's getting late at night, I'll keep watch first, you all go to rest early, and you have to continue your journey tomorrow."

After hearing the words, several people lay down on the spot and prepared to sleep. Mu Zheping and Ye Hong quickly closed their eyes and fell asleep.

But Yue Luoning, who was lying on the side with her back to the crowd, couldn't sleep at all. Under the dark night, her long and narrow phoenix eyes kept shining with complex and difficult lights.
