The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

Seeing that his father had already shown signs of relenting, Xie Feichi gave a strong answer, "When another country invades, doesn't father want to lead his troops to drive the enemy out of the country? Or do you want to continue like now, relying on marriage to exchange for a brief peace?"

When this matter was mentioned, General Xie became angry.

"Damn it, relying on women to exchange for peace, what's the difference between this and a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy?"

He is a general and should fight bravely on the battlefield.

Instead of being trapped in this small capital city with all your skills useless.

To be honest, marriage to a foreign prince was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard of.

Especially when a strong country asks for peace from a weak country - he has never seen such a thing in past history books!

"If the incompetent ruler is not removed, the State of Chu will perish sooner or later!" said Xie Feichi.

General Xie did not refute this.

He was just still concerned about his identity as Yiqing's woman, and wanted to make a final struggle, "Then you can choose one of the many princes to ascend the throne."

"Only women know the pain of marrying a foreign prince." Who can guarantee that after the prince ascends the throne, he will not follow their father's example and choose to marry a foreign prince in exchange for peace in the present?

But if Lu Xi, who is also a woman, ascended to the throne, she would definitely not do this.

It’s strange to say, there are some ideas that Yiqing has never told Xie Feichi, but Xie Feichi just thinks so as a matter of course.

He looked at General Xie and added firmly, “They are not as good as Lu Xi!”

Even though he didn't know these princes well, it didn't affect his trust in Yiqing.

General Xie knew his son very well. He pressed his forehead helplessly and said, "You are biased."

"People's hearts are biased." Xie Feichi said confidently, "My heart is unconditionally biased towards her, but what about my father?"

He looked into General Xie's eyes and asked word by word, "Will father's heart lean towards his own son, or towards those princes?"

The air is slightly condensed

General Xie stared at him for a while, with a helpless smile on his face, "You..."

Although he didn't answer directly, the helplessness in his voice showed that he was lowering his head.

Yes, what father would not favor his own son but instead favor someone else's son?

The tense atmosphere between father and son disappeared in an instant.

"I will send someone to deliver the military token to the Sixth Princess right away."

Xie Feichi was not willing to miss such an opportunity, "I'll go."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand towards General Xie, motioning him to put the military token in his palm.

"You kid..." General Xie smiled helplessly.

He turned around and took out the military token from the secret compartment in the study, but hesitated for a moment when handing it to Xie Feichi, then looked at Xie Feichi with a complicated look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Feichi got goosebumps from the look in his eyes. "Want to go back on your word? That won't do!"

As he said that, he snatched the military token from his father's hand, then stood up from his chair, intending to go directly to the princess's mansion.

"Fei Chi." General Xie stopped him, "You and the Sixth Princess haven't married yet. Have you ever thought about what you will do when she ascends to that position?"

"Let it be what it is!" Xie Feichi looked indifferent.

“Since ancient times, kings have had three thousand beauties in their harems. When the Sixth Princess ascends to that position, there is no way that you will be the only one in the harem.

Fei Chi, you have been arrogant since childhood, can you really tolerate sharing a wife with others?"

Xie Feichi paused, his eyes suddenly darkening.

"Father, you're worrying too much." He turned his back to General Xie so that no one could see the expression on his face. His tone sounded quite relaxed. "She likes me, so why would there be someone else around her?"

“Fei Chi, if she is just your wife, she will never have second thoughts after marrying you.

But if she were a king, the whole world would belong to her, and she could choose any man in the world. Who could guarantee that she wouldn't fall in love with someone else in the future?"

Xie Feichi gritted his teeth, "She won't!"

"Fei Chi, don't avoid this question. You should think about it now. If she ascends the throne but falls in love with someone else, what will you do?"

"The military token is in your hand now. You can choose to give it to her, or you can choose to use it to stop her.

Even if things are really as you said, she has a perfect plan, but there is always a loophole. You already knew her plan and you have the military power in your hands, so it is not difficult to stop her. "

"As a father, I will not interfere with your choice. I just hope that you won't regret it in the future." General Xie patted him on the shoulder.

Xie Feichi was silent for a moment.

He looked down at the military token in his hand, then smiled, "As long as she wants to do something, I will help her."

"I won't be a hindrance to her." He suddenly clenched the military token in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at General Xie seriously and firmly, and added four words slowly, "Any time."

General Xie understood his choice and was not surprised.

"Then hurry up!" He waved his hand towards Xie Feichi, "If you go now, you might be able to catch the lunch at the princess's residence. The family won't leave any food for you."

"You still understand me, old man!" Xie Feichi gave his father a thumbs up.

-

[In the ninth year of the Tianqi reign, there was a palace coup.]

The eldest prince obtained evidence that the eighth prince bribed Qinghe Zhenren to give the emperor a poison pill, and was about to arrest him, but he did not expect that the eighth prince was desperate and decided to force the emperor to abdicate.

The eldest prince was bent on protecting the emperor, but was accidentally killed by the eighth prince.

In the critical moment, the Sixth Princess Lu Xi led her troops to capture the rebels in time.

But the emperor was already poisoned and dying, and after this shock he vomited blood on the spot.

Before his death, he passed the throne to the sixth princess, Lu Xi. 】

"Tsk, the ancients were right. History books are indeed written by the victors." Yiqing threw the book back into the arms of the historian with trembling legs with satisfaction.

The commander of the Imperial Guard, Su Shichang, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke with some concern.

"Princess, will those ministers really let you ascend the throne? After all, you are a woman..."

He did not doubt Yiqing's ability, nor did he oppose her becoming emperor, otherwise he would not have helped her put on a show tonight.

But he was afraid that other people did not know Yiqing's talents and would make things difficult for her because of her identity as a woman.

Yiqing curled her lips, her tone calm and confident.

"I, Lu Xi, am of royal orthodox blood. The late emperor himself passed on the throne to me. Who can and who dares not to acknowledge me?"

She glanced over at me, her eyes were deep, like a bottomless pool, making people feel pressured.

"Princess, you are right." Su Shichang was impressed by the look and knelt down slowly. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the new emperor."

To make a woman the emperor was something he had never thought of before.

But now I am so willing.

This was not because he was grateful for her reminder when the epidemic came, but because he had witnessed her talents that were no less than men's, was impressed by her philosophy of governing the country, and realized that she was more worthy of respect than that foolish emperor.

Perhaps some ministers would mind her identity as a woman and refuse to acknowledge her as the new emperor.

But he firmly believed that once they saw her abilities, they would make the same choice as him.
