Chapter 1031: I Have the Final Say

The Queen's Daughter?

Xue Shao was neither angry nor laughing, but just looked sideways at Princess Taiping looking up and down, without saying a word.

Princess Taiping was uncomfortable by him, and she knew that she was a little ridiculous, so she hurriedly said: "I'll just say it casually......"

Xue Shao thought to herself, no wonder she has been jumping up and down lately to be particularly positive about anything that has anything to do with politics. It turned out that I had a crooked thought in my heart. If you don't nip their evil thoughts in the bud now, there will be endless troubles in the future!

"Come to my study!"

Princess Taiping looked at her husband's back, and couldn't help but secretly feel nervous: If he goes to the study again, he won't be angry again, right? …… That place is like a torture chamber!

There was no way, Princess Taiping still went.

Xue Shao did not sit condescendingly on the Grand Master chair this time, but sat on the couch face to face with Princess Taiping, his expression was relatively relaxed, and he only said: "Since you said it casually, I will ask you a few questions casually." All right? ”

"Yes." Princess Taiping nodded, but her heart was secretly tight: Why is it that the more he understates, the more nervous I feel?

"I'll ask you first." Xue Shao said, "Once you become the crown princess, where will your two elder brothers be placed?" ”

Princess Taiping was stunned, thought for a moment, and didn't dare to answer.

Xue Shao smiled, "You asked you just one question?" ”

"Prince Feng, treat him well." Princess Taiping replied.

Xue Shao said with a smile: "In the minds of the people of the world, they are the most suitable heirs. Suddenly a princess appeared and took the lead, do you think the people of the world will agree? ”

"My mother is also a woman, the only female emperor throughout the ages." Princess Taiping said, "If she can succeed, why can't I?" ”

"Yes, your mother has succeeded." Xue Shao said, "But have you thought about it, throughout the ages, it has been the royal family, and the imperial power is only passed on in one family and one surname." But why is it that now in the court of the Great Zhou, the forces that supported the Li clan of the previous dynasty are still so strong? Is the call for the return of power to Li Tang still so loud? Why would you, including me, rather die than let Wu Chenghei inherit the imperial power of the Great Zhou? ”

Princess Taiping furrowed her brows, "Because Wu Chenghei has no talent and no virtue, he will inevitably ruin the country." ”

"Is that all?" Xue Shao smiled indifferently and said, "If Wu Chenghei is virtuous and talented, would you be willing to let him inherit the Great Zhou Dynasty?" ”

Princess Taiping pondered for a moment and shook her head, "No." ”

"Have you ever thought about why?" Xue Shao asked.

Princess Taiping pondered for a moment again and said: "Although Da Zhou is the heroine of the Wu family, in people's minds, he is in the same vein as the Tang Dynasty. The prince of the Li family is the heir who everyone expects. ”

"Yes." Xue Shao said, "Your mother has successfully become the empress, but she is not completely going against the sky. In fact, she was able to succeed precisely because she followed the inevitable laws of history, respected thousands of years of cultural traditions, and won the support of the majority of the world. On the surface, the Great Zhou Dynasty is an independent and brand-new dynasty, but it is still the Tang Dynasty in essence, but it has changed a layer of superficial makeup. There is another cruel truth that we cannot tell the Empress to her face, but we must be aware of it ourselves. ”

"What facts?" Princess Taiping asked.

Xue Shao was silent for a moment and said, "It's a fact that your mother changed Tang to Zhou Longden and became the emperor in the ninth five. But fundamentally speaking, she failed to completely break away from the category of the Tang Dynasty and truly create an era that completely belongs to her. In cruel and straightforward words, in the eyes of the world, she is only temporarily managing the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty. Sooner or later, she will have to pay it back. Therefore, even if Wu Chengsi is a saint who has not been born for a hundred years, even if your two elder brothers are stupid and pustu, if they are borrowed, they have to pay it back, this truth is justified. This is why many former ministers can now gain a foothold in the court of the Great Zhou, and they also dare to support the prince surnamed Li with confidence. Your mother also knows in her own heart, the reason why she was able to get the country is not because she is really the reincarnation of Maitreya, but because she has worked hard for nearly 50 years of diligence and love for the people, which has won the support of most people in the world. If she dares to go against the will of the majority of the people, she will not be able to be the emperor. ”

After hearing this, Princess Taiping thought seriously for a while and said, "You have a point. So I'm also a child of Li, so why can't I inherit the imperial power? ”

"Because it's so rebellious. Violating the thousand-year-old tradition is also called going against the sky. Xue Shao said, "The reason why tradition can become tradition is because it can meet the wishes of the majority of people and be recognized by the majority of people." I have already said before that your mother can become the empress, on the surface it seems to be a rather rebellious thing, but in essence, she has only temporarily taken over the country, and sooner or later she will have to return it. If she doesn't pay it back, then it will be called really against the sky, and she and the Great Zhou Dynasty will perish at the same time. If she dares to make you the queen daughter, it will be another kind of rebellion. This is no different from her not returning the country to the Li family. The reason is - after you become the emperor, who are you going to appoint as the crown prince? ”

Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, and Xue Linyu? …… Her surname is Xue!

The sons of my two brothers? …… Isn't this the same situation as my mother is now?!

"Don't have anything to say?" Xue Shao spread his hands, "Even if you don't go that far, after you become the crown princess, what kind of person am I?" ”

"......" Princess Taiping pursed her lips and couldn't speak, because after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really no suitable "name" to give to Xue Shao. I can't figure out the name, so what is the location?

"Well, even if I can barely accept the title of 'prince son-in-law'." Xue Shao said again, "Then after you become the emperor, what kind of person am I?" - Liu Huaiyi and the like? Or Pei Yan and the like? You're going to kill me anyway, right? ”

"No, it won't!" Princess Taiping immediately shouted, "I can rule the country with you!" ”

"Don't be funny." Xue Shao smiled, "You grew up beside the Second Sage, do you still need me to elaborate on the past?" As far as it is close, will your mother rule the country with Liu Huaiyi or Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi? ”

"No, ......," Princess Taiping replied softly.

Xue Shao slapped his hands and spread his hands, "Even I, the only person who can vigorously support you, will be killed by you." After you kill me, will my robed brothers and friends still be angry with you? Who will you rely on to sit firmly at that time? - Linlang? Zhang Qianqiao? Or Zhu Bajie? ”

"That's it, that's it!"

Princess Taiping shook her head with a wry smile and sighed heavily, "This stupid question, we will never discuss it again in the future!" ”

"No, it has to be discussed all at once. Otherwise, if you don't forget it, it will only flood. Xue Shao Zhengse said, "You and I have been husband and wife for more than ten years, you should understand that I am not the kind of person who is not ancient." Since you have such an idea, I will not beat you to death with a stick. The truth, we must make sense. If you can convince me, I will willingly swear to help you to the death. On the contrary, if you are sincerely convinced, you will not have such unrealistic thoughts in the future, so as not to cause misfortune in your family! ”

"Don't worry, I won't be thinking about it anymore." Princess Taiping said seriously, "Actually, I know in my heart that I shouldn't have such thoughts. But this thought was like a life of my own, and it burrowed into my heart alive. ”

"This thought is desire." Xue Shao said, "I've been reminding you all these years that power is a thing that is easy to harness because it can be addictive. If you lack sufficient self-control, don't touch it. I've been on a lot of campaigns for the past few years, and you've always had a very close relationship with your mother. Under some of her influences, your desire for power is gradually expanding unconsciously, but you don't realize it. Now there are bad signs in your heart, and if you don't face it up to it and eliminate it as soon as possible, sooner or later it will cause a big disaster! ”

"I see......" Princess Taiping let out a long breath and nodded solemnly, "In the future, I will just follow you closely, and I will never have any self-assertions." ”

"You're a princess, you have your honor and freedom, I didn't want you to be my echo worm." Xue Shao said, "But in the face of major rights and wrongs, you must not forget that we are a whole. One loss and one glory. ”

"Yes." Princess Taiping said, "If I hadn't had these deep-rooted thoughts in my heart, I wouldn't have said these words to you today." Xue Lang, we all make mistakes. But when the other party makes mistakes, I hope we can all be patient and tolerant enough to persuade each other and help each other. You did it today, and I thank you! ”

After that, Princess Taiping put her arms on the ground and pressed her forehead on the ground, and bowed down to Xue Shaozheng seriously.

"Beloved wife, please get up." Xue Shao stepped forward to help her up, held her hand, and smiled, "You're right, we all make mistakes or want to be crooked. Over the years, your help to me in terms of tolerance is beyond words. In the future, I hope that we can still go hand in hand and be a good husband and wife for a lifetime. And so that our children and grandchildren can also have a good future. ”

"Okay." Princess Taiping raised a pleased smile on the corner of her mouth, stepped forward and hugged Xue Shao lying in his arms, hugged quietly, and closed her eyes.

"As long as I can still lie in your arms, no matter how the world changes, I am not afraid!"

Xue Shao hugged her and patted her gently, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

History is really not a good thing, and the inevitable law is really inescapable. Just one point, Princess Taiping will become extremely similar to the Princess Taiping in history.

Fortunately, now I have me, so let her stop the precipice!

and Shangguan Wan'er...... Your fate is no longer to be in the turmoil of politics all your life, and finally be hacked to death by Li Longji.

Your fate depends entirely on me, Xue Shao, who says it!
