Empress: Living In The Mountains, My Daughter Praised Me As A God

Seeing Chu Ling'er's caring and well-behaved look, Liu Qingxue's solemn face showed a rare smile.

"Mom is talking about national affairs. Ling'er can't understand and can't help."

"My mother appreciates Ling'er's kindness. You go and play with Sister Shangguan first. Why don't you go read more and wait for my mother to finish her work?"

Liu Qingxue patted Chu Linger's head disapprovingly.

It is true that Chu Ling'er is smart, and her talent in cultivation and calligraphy are also amazingly abnormal.

But how can an eight-year-old girl understand national affairs?

As an empress, she has so many ministers supporting her, but she still can't come up with an idea. How can a little girl like Ling'er solve it?

Not only Liu Qingxue thought so, Gu Yanwu, Li Chunfeng and Hua Tuo also said with a smile.

"Ling'er, governing the world is different from killing a lamb. It doesn't mean that a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out."

"But you have to consider the people! You are still young and don't understand the twists and turns. When you are older, we will teach you internal affairs. Then you will understand!"

After hearing the words of a few people, I looked at the contemptuous eyes of a few people.

Chu Ling'er suddenly pouted her mouth and defended dissatisfiedly.

"Who said Ling'er doesn't understand at a young age? If a dynasty wants to be stable and long-term, and an emperor wants to win the hearts of the people, he must be good to the people."

"Dad said that water can carry a boat but also capsize it. These great philosophies can even hear the cocoon in their ears!"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other and their eyes widened in vain.

These words were like a sharp arrow, hitting my heart.

Make them feel as if something has been touched in their hearts.

I couldn't help but tremble all over!

"Water can carry a boat, but can it also overturn it?"

"Okay, that's good! Your Highness, did your father teach you this?"

Du Ruhui, the auxiliary minister on the side, read it once, and his eyes shone with light.

It feels like a pot of empowerment!

This sentence is enough to be used as a warning by all the ministers in later generations!

To be able to say this, her father must have a profound understanding of Chao Gang's internal affairs.

He felt that the opponent's level was even... higher than that of Du Ruhui.

Chu Ling'er nodded proudly and arched her chest in front of Liu Qingxue.

"Of course my father taught me that. My father once conquered the six kingdoms and was the emperor for decades!"

"At that time, he was called the emperor of the ages, although Ling'er had never seen his father as an emperor."

"But when I hear my father talking about how he managed the government and how he defeated his enemies, Ling'er knows how powerful his father is!"

Hearing this, several people's hearts jumped!

One emperor through the ages?

At this moment, Liu Qingxue also remembered that Chu Ling'er's father was King Shura who traveled through time thousands of years ago.

The super master who defeated six ancient countries by one person!

As his daughter, Chu Ling'er has learned more or less knowledge under the influence of her ears and eyes. What if she can solve the current crisis?

Thinking of this, Liu Qingxue held a glimmer of hope and explained to Chu Ling'er what happened in the court.

"Ling'er, that's what happened! Do you think... is my mother really unworthy of destiny and unworthy of being the emperor?"

"There are so many disasters in the world...could it be caused by my mother taking office? Is it true that destiny cannot be violated?"

Liu Qingxue's eyes dimmed a bit.

She actually didn't want to be the emperor. If her husband hadn't often joked that he would be the emperor's man.

How could I choose to embark on this path of intrigue?

Everyone couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the empress' sadness.

Although they didn't want to admit it, the disasters in various places did not happen until she, Liu Qingxue, took office.

Maybe if a woman becomes an emperor, God will not approve her!

Just as everyone sighed, Chu Ling'er rolled her eyes and sneered.

"Pfft...Mother, who told you that this is destiny? Who said that women cannot be emperors?"

"Dad has said before that whether there is a disaster or not has nothing to do with who becomes the emperor. This is feudal superstition! Even if there is no emperor in the world, disasters will still happen when they are due!"

"It's just that... these disasters happened to happen during my mother's tenure, which gave people with excuses to take advantage of it. After adding fuel to the flames, everyone would rightfully think that it was my mother who caused the troubles when she came to power."

"But actually...it really has nothing to do with my mother. There is another saying behind the unbreakable destiny, man will conquer nature!"

Chu Ling'er jumped down from Liu Qingxue's arms, holding her hands behind her back like an old master, giving guidance to everyone.

After everyone heard these words, they were shocked!

A breath of cold air came from his mouth.

Man can conquer heaven?

You know, the emperor only dares to call him emperor, and his intention depends on God's face.

How much confidence do you have in yourself to say something like this?

Seeing that everyone had complicated expressions and seemed to be thinking, Chu Ling'er struck while the iron was hot and continued.

"Mom, don't worry about it. My father also said that in fact, the people don't care who becomes the emperor!"

"Their pursuit in this life is not to become more powerful, but...how to live happily."

"Whoever can keep them well fed and well clothed is a good emperor! If the emperor makes it impossible for them to survive, they will rebel and risk their lives to break all this!"

Hearing this, Liu Qingxue was shocked!

Yes, people don't care who becomes the emperor, and they may not even be able to tell what the emperor's name is.

Doesn't the so-called people's support mean that if the people are well fed and clothed, they will support it from the bottom of their hearts?

I... actually don't see it as clearly as Chu Ling'er.

In other words, her father knows the way of an emperor far better than me, the empress!

No wonder it can be said that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

At this moment, Liu Qingxue had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

"What Ling'er said is so good! Mother actually wants to make sure the people have good food, but... there is not so much money in the treasury now to provide disaster relief and rebuild the disaster areas."

"Alas... there is nothing I can do about it! It is my dereliction of duty to put the people in dire straits!"

Liu Qingxue couldn't help but sigh.

Bingling is suffering from domestic and foreign troubles, and its national strength is not strong in the first place. The current setbacks have revealed its shortcomings.

Everyone sighed in the same way!

A penny is too much for a hero. If you want to provide disaster relief and reconstruction, it's an astronomical amount of money.

Even if they, a group of ministers belonging to the empress, pooled their resources, they would be able to barely provide disaster relief.

It is simply impossible to rebuild the disaster-stricken areas!

After listening to what they said, Chu Ling'er's big eyes suddenly narrowed.

He seems to be thinking about something...

"I remember correctly...Dad seemed to have told Ling'er about his disaster relief process before..."

After recalling the series of stories Chu Mo told about "Father Becomes an Emperor in the Court", Chu Ling'er had an idea.

"Mother, Ling'er should have a way to provide disaster relief and complete reconstruction!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their heads and looked at Chu Ling'er expectantly.

Rather than saying that Chu Ling'er has a method, it is better to say that Chu Ling'er's father has used such a method before.

That's King Shura. How can the method he said be simple?

"Ling'er, what can you do? Can you teach the grandfathers and your majesty?"

Chu Ling'er nodded, imitating his father's past appearance, standing at the window with his little hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said with full force.

"Actually...the solution is very simple! That is to provide relief through work!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Work-for-relief? Have you ever heard of it, Lao Du?"

Gu Yanwu asked doubtfully.

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"No, I have lived for hundreds of years and have never heard of such a method."

Liu Qingxue stepped forward and rubbed Chu Ling'er's head, and said softly: "Good Ling'er, stop showing off and teach me!"

"Okay! Mom, it's actually very simple to provide work for relief. You see, blindly feeding the people during disaster relief will allow them to survive, but it will not produce value and is meaningless. On the contrary, it will make them dependent on the country. , leading to laziness.”

"The day the country is no longer able to provide porridge and disaster relief, they will immediately scold my mother for not being considerate of the people! What is the difference between kindness and hatred..."

"But if my mother recruits these victims and lets them eat well before going to rebuild the disaster area and build water conservancy projects, not only will they be able to survive, but the reconstruction will also be completed. Will it save a lot of money?"

"If we repair the water conservancy in winter, we won't have to worry about heavy rains or droughts next year. Will anyone still say that my mother is not destined by fate? They will only say that my mother is far-sighted!"

After Chu Ling'er finished speaking with a smile, she turned around and found that everyone in the sword pavilion had been stunned to the spot.

Three seconds later, everyone's eyes glowed with light, as dazzling as the sun.

Everyone couldn't help shouting in unison: "Ling'er, your father is really a political genius!"
