Chapter 398 A country cannot be without a king
Even the most trusted ministers will be loyal to the emperor and the country in the early days.
When time goes by and fame and wealth erode the original intention, who can really remember the suffering of the people?
The courtiers will let the emperor see what they want the emperor to see, and some things they want the emperor to see will always be reported.
Yan Li smiled faintly: "What you, the prince, know is deeper than the sky."
"Because I am about to assist a rare wise king in this year, so I have to do my homework in advance." Mu Cang raised his lips slightly, "I want to be a sweet husband who can serve others with sex and seduce the king's heart."
Yan Li looked at him silently: "Mu Cang, if you want to be a sycophant who serves people with sex and confuses the emperor's heart, I'm afraid that the ministers will be scared to death by you. After all, you don't even have the face of serving people with sex. No."
Mu Cang touched his face: "Is this the face of an Israeli servant?"
"Yes." Yan Li shook his head, "Ise's face is like yours."
Mu Cang was silent
Yan Li understood what 놛 meant: "There is no need to worry, 놖놙 is a bit melancholy, and there is no other sad emotion."
She actually understood that he said this deliberately to make her feel better, but human emotions and desires are real.
Being happy when encountering happy things and feeling sad when encountering sad things are all uncontrollable mood swings.
Even if his face is as solid as a rock and his expression is clear, the feeling in his heart is deceiving him.
The carriage procession entered the imperial city.
King Feng led the Imperial Guards in front to clear the way, while Rong Xiao led some people to the rear.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going.
Arriving at the palace gate, someone saluted King Feng.
King Yu and the Minister of Rites stood at the palace gate to greet the distinguished guests. Then King Feng got on his horse, they each exchanged a few greetings, and the imperial guards returned to their respective places.
King Yu stood in the carriage and looked at Yan Li through the opened curtain: "Why do we have more people?"
"You and Mu Cang both have the ability to protect themselves, and Tianshu and the others are behind you, why are you bringing so many people?" Yan Li shook his head, "Too many people is irritating."
King Yu obviously praised: "On such a long journey, it is inevitable to encounter some bandits——"
"놖놇Shi Ancheng met Shen Yanshu and Prince Xiao."
King Yu was startled: "They went to Shi'an River? Did they go there for you? You just said that King Xiao hasn't seen any movement in the past few days, so he had this bad idea."
"You seem to be very well informed. The person has been gone for a few days, but you don't even know where they have gone."
King Yu choked: "You have indeed neglected your duty."
"They are indeed here for me, but this time it was out of malice." Yan Li said calmly, "We will discuss the details later when we have the opportunity."
"Yes." King Yu lowered the carriage curtain and raised his hand to indicate entering the palace.
The carriage went straight to the palace gate, passed through the long palace road, and headed to the main hall where the banquet was held.
There are many guardsmen on duty on the palace road. They stand guard every ten steps, and they stand tall and straight, as tall as pines and bamboos in the cold wind.
"Martial arts are practiced in the Southern Kingdom. The younger members of the imperial family, fallen nobles, and military generals all start practicing martial arts from the beginning. Even if qualified warriors go to the battlefield, they can still make mistakes. military position."
Yan Li looked through the car window and saw the heroic appearance of the Yulin Army, with a somewhat relieved smile on her face, "The Yulin Army are all elites who have been strictly selected through rounds of martial arts competitions. Although they have higher backgrounds than ordinary soldiers, , The treatment is better, but there is no pampering. From top to bottom, we have always adhered to high standards, which is why Nanguo has always been strong. "
"The Southern Kingdom is the most powerful." Mu Cang rubbed her head, "놊놙 is you. All the emperors in the past are admired."
Yan Li remained silent and looked at her with subtle eyes: "Are you coaxing a child?"
"놊Yes." Mu Cang said softly, "놖 is telling the truth."
Yan Li was silent for a moment: "Yes, it's a bit too vain."
"Vanity?" Mu Cangyu explained, "Why do you ask that?"
Yan Li said: "I am eager to let people know about the excellence and strength of the Southern Kingdom. Is this vanity?"
"Of course, yes, what kind of vanity is this?" Mu Cang laughed, "Being proud of your home and country is a kind of self-confidence, how can it be considered vanity? I really want to be vain, but it's a pity that Mu Guo didn't give me this opportunity. "
Yan Li sneered: "The reputation you have given yourself is still enough for you to be vain for a while?"
The two chatted and laughed and arrived at the inner gate of the palace.
Yan Li and Mu Cang came out of the carriage and went to the banquet hall with King Feng and King Yu.
"Your Majesty..." King Feng hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The eldest princess has become very famous these days, and the Southern Kingdom has also heard about it."
Yan Li smiled: "놖놙 did something that needed to be done."
King Feng hummed: "The Jin State's system of male superiority and female inferiority is unique among the nine countries in the world, and it is better than any other country."
"The superiority of men to women is the second most important thing." Yan Li said calmly, "People treat women as cattle and horses, humiliating and trampling them at will. Men are too shameless to trample on women to elevate their own status. How can the country become strong?"
Yan Li had always believed that men were superior to women and that men were responsible for everything. Allowing women to appear in public and restricting women's words and deeds, although reasonable, would at least protect their own women. This gave men a higher sense of superiority and status. That’s all.
But the system of Jin broke her understanding and allowed her to see the despicability of human nature.
Strictly speaking, that is even called men being superior to women, but it is completely the humiliation and oppression of women by men.
"When you come back this time, please stay a little longer in Nanguo." King Feng said, "Let the high priest think of a way to see if he can-"
"I'm anxious." Yan Li's voice was calm, "Since the matter has happened, I can accept it no matter what the outcome will be."
Phoenix King frowned.
"Besides, I believe in things that are destined." A relieved smile appeared at the corner of Yan Li's lips, "Perhaps because the Southern Kingdom is strong enough, if she continues to be the empress of the Southern Kingdom, there will be no special achievements to be made, but the same is true for the Jin Kingdom. 놇Everything Jin has done is worthy of being recorded in history.”
King Feng was silent, not expecting that she would have such thoughts.
"I believe in the ability of the eldest emperor brother." Yan Li turned to look at 놛 and said in a loud voice, but it was enough for King Feng to hear clearly, "The eldest emperor brother can also manage the Nanguo River, right?"
King Feng's expression darkened: "Why do you have such an idea? You have already thought of abdicating the throne before the high priest is sure that you will not be able to come back?"
"This is an abdication, a death." Yan Li said, unable to hold back his laughter, "Well, from the perspective of the minister of the Southern Kingdom, it is indeed the death of the emperor."
King Feng frowned and looked at her.
"Since the emperor has passed away, it is natural to choose another emperor. After all, a country cannot have a king." Yan Li made a decision on his own, "In the past days between Xi and Wu, King Feng has done a good job. It seems that with Xihe's edict, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty decided to enthrone King Feng."
"What is the imperial edict?" King Yu heard these two words with sharp ears and was suddenly startled, "What is the imperial edict?"
