Chapter 1141 On the Importance of Having Children

Ling'er was young and thin-skinned, her cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Luo, really, what are you talking about? I thought you had something serious to do, but it turned out you were here to tease others."

"Your Majesty, this poor monk is definitely not joking. Please correct your attitude when talking about military and national affairs, so as not to chill the hearts of loyal ministers!"

Luo Feng said with a serious face: "The heir is vital to the survival of the empire and is one of the most important responsibilities of the king. How many kingdoms in Europe in the far west perished because the king could not give birth to children? Your Majesty Aren’t you afraid that the Chinese Empire, which has just begun to show hope of rising, will follow in its footsteps?”

The harsh scolding made Ling'er shrink her neck in fright. Seeing Luo Feng's cannibalistic and stern expression, as if he was really angry, she realized that it was not Luo Feng who was just talking nonsense like before to make her laugh.

Feeling quite aggrieved, Ling'er was like a child who was scolded by an adult but didn't know where she had made a mistake. She really couldn't understand what having a child had to do with the justice of the country.

Lowering his head, Ling'er whispered: "But... I'm still young. Can I wait until I grow up before thinking about it in the future? Didn't Brother Luo also persuade grandma that he shouldn't force Ling'er to get married in a hurry?"

Luo Feng sighed and said: "The poor monk is also very helpless. He was not worried about the successor at first, but the world situation is changing, the international situation is becoming increasingly severe, and the country has encountered unprecedented challenges... The country needs a crown prince to survive the crisis! "

"Brother Luo, Ling'er just doesn't understand. Why will the country perish if I don't give birth to a child immediately?"

Ling'er frowned and asked suspiciously: "No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense! I am obviously from the Nuwa clan and have a long lifespan, but it only lasts for thousands of years. It is not a problem to live for eighteen hundred years. Is it necessary to be so urgent? Are you planning to give birth to an heir?"

"At first, the poor monk thought so too, so he advised grandma not to rush to find you a husband."

Luo Feng said: "It's a pity that the poor monk had a whim last night and suddenly got a prediction from the sky. Looking at the fate of the country, he discovered that the catastrophe of the world is approaching soon. The holy empire seems to be in bloom, but it is in danger. The lives of hundreds of millions of people are It’s hanging by a thread!”

"What?" Ling'er was shocked and said in surprise: "How come the country is about to be subjugated in such a good way? What is going on?"

As the empress, Ling'er's main responsibility is to dance and sing, but Luo Feng did not hide the country's operating conditions from her. The corresponding documents will be sent to her desk for inspection. Ling'er is also working hard to study government affairs and try to read and understand those documents. Official documents.

With Jiang Qiluo's help, Ling'er could barely understand it and had some understanding of the situation in the past year since the founding of the Holy Empire.

Judging from the official documents reported from various places, the Chinese Empire has risen rapidly, the national economy has developed at an alarming rate, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the military strength far exceeds that of the same era, and it is almost capable of fighting aliens.

You can't intuitively feel the rise of a country just by reading official documents. The transportation in the world of Xianxia is very convenient, and the magic of Xianling Island can also hide the true appearance. Ling'er and Jiang Qiluo took Feijian to various places for private visits in private. As expected, they inspected anonymously all the way. What they saw There is no discrepancy between the actual situation among the people and the report in the official document.

Jiang Qiluo couldn't help but marvel, praising Zen Master Luo for being such a genius who had not been born for thousands of years. Ling'er's father, the Witch King, was not even worthy of carrying his shoes, but he had brought about earth-shaking changes in the decadent Central Plains in such a short period of time.

Ling'er originally thought that with the help of Zen Master Luo, she could rule the country for her, and she would be able to become an eternal wise king even if she lay down, so she could sing and dance with peace of mind to entertain the people. However, she never expected that the crisis of annihilation of the country would come so suddenly!

Luo Feng sighed and said: "Speaking of this catastrophe, it has a lot to do with Your Majesty. After calculation by the poor monk's magical power, the source of the disaster is Nanzhao Kingdom, and the person who started the disaster is your father, the Witch King! Border! The Feijian patrol envoy reported secretly that the Nanzhao Kingdom is preparing for war, has prepared military provisions and military supplies, and has assembled various barbarian troops to invade the Central Plains on a large scale."

"My father, the Witch King, wants to invade the Central Plains?"

Ling'er's eyes widened and he said in shock: "Don't he know how sharp the firearms of the Shenji Camp are? We also have the demon vassal army and the Imperial Guards of the Hero League. With the military strength of Nanzhao, we have no chance of winning, right?"

"Who knows?" Luo Feng shrugged and said, "People are incompetent and obsessed with ghosts without realizing it. Maybe your father thinks you are his daughter, and everything you own should be his property. He has no interest in the Chinese Empire." I have the right to claim it. I am jealous of your happy life now and want to take the throne from you. I will hurt you just like I hurt your mother back then."

These words struck a chord in the heart. Ling'er's eyes suddenly turned red. She bit her lip and said nothing. Her mood was very complicated. She didn't know whether to resent her father or, as a woman, she should be patient and filial.

"My father... he probably hit his head and was bleeding."

After being silent for a while, Ling'er said quietly: "I just hope that Brother Luo will lead the army to defeat the Nanzhao army and spare his life. After all... he is my father..."

"Alas..." Luo Feng sighed: "It's easy to say. If he only mobilized the ordinary army to attack, the poor monk would just pick a general and lead the army to destroy the Nanzhao Kingdom. It's a pity that your father appointed the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult as the country's leader. Master, I used that witchcraft secret method to summon the ancient monsters to help in the battle. The ancient monsters are so fierce that even if all the Chinese Empire’s armies are filled in, they won’t be able to hurt it at all!”

Ling'er suddenly woke up, her dusty childhood memories revived, and she murmured: "That's right, my mother was trying to seal the ancient monster... My father was so stubborn that he went all the way to the dark side and actually unlocked the seal of the water monster. My mother died in vain..."

Luo Feng didn't mention the real mastermind behind the incident, the Moon Worshiping Cult, and only mentioned the Witch King. The purpose was to make Ling'er feel that this disaster was inseparably related to her, and that she had to step forward to solve the problem without hesitation.

In ancient times, it was a matter of course that the father's debt should be repaid by the son, which was a simple moral concept of the ancients. Ling'er was a girl deeply influenced by traditional moral thoughts, so she naturally took the disaster caused by her father as her own responsibility.

Ling'er finally calmed down her emotions, clarified the cause and effect, and said weakly: "But, after saying so much, what does it have to do with me having to have a baby right away?"

"If you want to subdue the ancient monsters, you can only rely on the power of the Nuwa Empress. In other words, in this national war between the Chinese Empire and the Nanzhao invaders, Your Majesty must personally control the war to have a chance of winning."

Luo Feng spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty's body of gold should not be involved in danger, but the crisis of annihilation is just around the corner. In order to protect the people of the world, the emperor can only guard the country, and the king dies. However, since ancient times, , the king must leave the prince to control the country, lest the king unfortunately dies in battle and the country is leaderless and falls apart. Even if the catastrophe of monsters is quelled by then, the people will still lose their current happy life and struggle in the melee of warlords, and their lives are precarious. .”

Ling'er was a kind-hearted girl. She thought about Luo Feng's words repeatedly, and even though she was reluctant, she had to admit that what he said made sense.

Back then, her mother sacrificed her life to seal the water monster. Now if she were to face the water monster, she would probably have a narrow escape.

Her mother was a Witch Queen. After her death, there was still a Witch King in Nanzhao Kingdom, but she was the only royal family member in the Holy Chinese Empire. If she died and there was no heir to the country, there would be a real possibility of division and civil strife, and the war would once again sweep through the Central Plains.

Thinking about it this way, she could also understand that Luo Guoshi would be anxious to ask her to have a child immediately. It was indeed out of public interest and all he said was to seek the country.

The little girl blushed and said, "Okay, it's just... I suddenly asked someone to have a baby... I don't even have a boyfriend yet... How can I give birth?"
