Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 513
The meaning of a concubine's existence is only to have children?

It turns out that her family's stern but principled elder brother only regards women as tools for childbearing?
It just doesn't make sense.

"Whether or not to be conferred is the emperor's own business. How many people to enter the harem is also up to the emperor himself, and no one else has the right to interfere." Nan Si said calmly, "But if the emperor chooses the fourth concubine only for the sake of his heirs, then how many people will enter the harem? Is it unfair to them?"

Not fair?

Jun Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is it unfair?"

"Brother Huang doesn't like them, but you want them to give birth to Brother Huang's children, isn't that fair?"

Jun Lingxiao was silent for a moment, and his tone was light: "You mean, if I don't have a woman I like, I shouldn't draft a concubine, and I shouldn't let them have children, even if Dongling has no successors?"

As soon as this remark came out, Nan Si fell silent.

She seemed to mean that, but it was obviously not right when the words came out of Brother Huang's mouth.

Jun Lingfan sat on the side with his eyes closed, quietly listening to the conversation between his royal brother and younger sister, without interrupting, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Xiao Liuer." Jun Lingxiao supported his chin with one hand, and looked at Nan Si peacefully, "Since ancient times, few emperors have truly devoted their love to one person. If an emperor pays too much attention to love, it will be detrimental to the country and society. "

Nan Si didn't speak.

"Of course, you can't kill a boatload of people with one shot, such as the grandmother back then, such as you and Junling now." Jun Lingxiao said, "But you have to know, after all, you are a minority, even rare, and you cannot standard by which to judge others."

"The Sangong Sixth Court has been the right enjoyed by the emperor since ancient times, and it is also a means to maintain the interest relationship between the imperial power and the nobles. It has nothing to do with love in the first place."

"As for whether it is fair to those women..."

Jun Lingxiao took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "The king is the guide for the ministers, and the husband is the guide for the wife. Can you demand absolute equality between the monarch and the ministers or between husband and wife? , Could it be the king, do you think there can be equality between kings and dignitaries and ordinary people?"

Nan Si raised her eyebrows, but was speechless for a while.

"There is no fairness in this world. Ordinary people are not qualified to be fair in front of the powerful, and ministers are not qualified to be fair in front of the emperor." Jun Lingxiao said, "If you want to hear, I can continue to give other examples. , let you know how fair things are in this world."

Nan Si pursed her lips: "I don't want to hear it anymore, Brother Huang is indeed Brother Huang."

Jun Lingxiao said indifferently: "In order to govern in his position, the emperor's duty is to do what the emperor should do, not to pursue meaningless fairness."

Although he is not a domineering emperor, he doesn't have that much energy to consider whether it is fair or not before doing everything.

"Brother Huang is right." Jun Lingfan said, "Those women were born in official families and enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by their status. They should pay some price, or responsibilities, as a matter of course. You can't give up all the benefits. They take it all, but they don't want to take responsibility at all, do they?"

Nan Si was silent for a moment: "So, since I was born in the royal family, shouldn't I do something for Dongling?"

"Of course." Jun Lingfan nodded, "If the Tangling Empire wasn't strong enough, do you think you don't need to marry to maintain peace?"
