rich concubine

Chapter 1573
The status of king and subject, father and daughter, and king made the old emperor disappointed with his daughter. The status of father made him unable to bear to scold and hurt his daughter.

As a king and as a father, he actually doesn't understand that his daughter is talented and may be more courageous than her brother. It's a pity that she is born a girl.

Women are short-sighted and cannot see the future, let alone determine the destiny of the country. How could he leave Chitan in the hands of a woman.

The old emperor closed his eyes and said, "I remember that your master praised you at the beginning. If you were a man, you would be a talented person in governing the country."

Qi Ning's expression did not change and he only said: "Master also said that I should not stick to my status."

What can men and women influence?
Qining was dissatisfied and didn't understand why a daughter's identity should deny her all abilities.

The old emperor said: "You are not young now. When you get married and have a family of your own in the future, you will know that women are born to support their husbands, raise children, and continue the family relationship."

After saying that, he looked at her again and said, "Don't you like Qi Zichen? How about my father personally tell you to marry him?"

Qi Ning frowned and denied it, saying: "My daughter has no relationship with him. My daughter just hopes to watch Chi Tan go on to get better and better. Even if my daughter never gets married or starts a family, she is willing to do so." "

The old emperor ignored her next words, but said: "I know that he has one at home, and he said he brought it back from Meng. If you mind her existence... my father will not let her get in your way. Happiness."

Qi Ning smiled. If that was the case, wouldn't he have delayed other people's happiness?
She shook her head and said, "No one will interfere with my happiness. My happiness is related to Chitan's future. Only Chitanshun will be happy as the princess of Chitan."

I have to say, regardless of how well those sons were raised, let’s just say that this daughter was raised quite well. I couldn’t fault her at all. After hearing what she said, the old emperor smiled and held her hand. He patted it and said: "My father is old and sometimes I can't understand the thoughts of you young people. Now that you are older and have ideas, nothing my father says may be able to catch your eye. But Daughter, no father in this world would harm his own child. I know you have ambitions in your heart, but do you know that ambitions and reality are two different things? You don’t understand how difficult it is."

Hearing what his father said to his daughter, Qining's eyes became moist. Being born in the royal family was not easy. It was indeed glamorous, but there was more cruelty behind the glamor. Who could know?
The old emperor said: "In my life as a soldier, I have built up the current country. Seeing it prosper and then decline, do you think my heart doesn't hurt? But a country that has lasted for hundreds of years can be changed by a single decree?"

"..."

"Generals died in hundreds of battles, and politicians were also in a bloody storm. Under that court, how many people were ambitious and loyal or traitorous. Do you think your father is really old and stupid?"

It's not that he can't see it, but sometimes he is powerless. The tree is huge and its roots are intertwined. He has been in power for decades. How could he not know how deep the evils under the court are? But how can it be so easy to influence the whole body with just one hair? .

Qining's throat felt choked, as if there was a lump of cotton weighing a thousand pounds blocking it. Even though her father didn't say it explicitly, she could tell that he was getting old. People do lose a lot of courage when they grow old, and their decision-making becomes difficult. It was not as good as in previous years. She once complained that her father was old and did not distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. It turned out that she was wrong...

Her father's words today were truly heartfelt and made her heartache.The old emperor looked at his daughter and sighed silently. He could only say these words in front of his daughter. If it were his son, how could he...

At this time, the old emperor obviously only regarded his daughter as a little princess. He never thought or believed that a woman could make such a big splash.

The Chitan Kingdom gave women a high status. They could ride horses and do business. They were enthusiastic and bold, unlike the women of the Meng Kingdom who kept them in boudoir.

But even so, women are still accessories under the power of men. They can let them go if they make small troubles, but when it comes to big matters, women have no right to speak at all.

This is not the tragedy of women in any country, but in this era, women's status is so low that they don't even have a voice, so they only deserve to be dominated.

Qi Ning took a deep breath and said: "Whether my father agrees with my ability or not, I have to say some things. If my father is serious and wants to help Qi Zichen regain his country, the pressure involved is not Just a little bit, what kind of strength does Chitan have now? How can he confront Meng Guo head-on? Even if one day, Meng Guo's energy is really exhausted, how can Meng Guo, who has become a piece of scattered sand, be able to unite? Besides, in this world, It is not just a Meng country. Although the surrounding countries are small, if they can be united, they can also be a force. If Chitan and the Meng country go head-to-head, it will not be Chitan who benefits after all. By then, Chitan's vitality will be greatly damaged. If If there is another thing, can you still cope with it?"

Her father said that she had no vision and only saw the present. But wasn’t the current poverty and weakness also caused by her inaction at the beginning?

Chitan is warlike. How long can a warlike country last?
The old emperor was silent, and after a long time, he said: "Chitan will never be strong until Meng falls. As long as Meng falls, how Qi Zichen recovers has nothing to do with Chitan, but Chitan But there are corresponding conditions to strengthen the country, do you understand?"

Qi Ning doesn't understand. To put it bluntly, the current Meng country is too powerful, which makes his father jealous. He wants to use Qi Zichen's momentum to stir up a famous war. He will defeat Qi Zichen and restore the country. He will be grateful for the rest of his life. If he is defeated, he can push Qi Zichen out and pick it all off himself.

Since my father also knew that the Meng country was now so powerful that it could not be overthrown casually, where did he get the confidence that he would be able to help Qi Zichen restore the country?
He clearly knew that this was a battle that could only be won but not defeated.

Qi Ning knew that a generation of kings could never disobey or be doubted. She had tried to persuade her father many times to give up the idea of ​​helping Qi Zichen to restore the country, but now it seemed that her father still insisted on what he wanted, without any doubt. If you want to change your mind, there are some words, so let’s stop here.

After all, it was my father who got old and lost his judgment in some decisions.

The father and daughter were silent for a long time. It was not until the chamberlain came to report that King Cheng was coming that Qining was ready to leave.

The chamberlain sent Qi Ning outside the palace. Qi Ning glanced at him and said, "Remember to watch him drink my father's medicine. If he doesn't want to, please ask my father-in-law to put more thought into it."
