Chapter 79 [I am selfish and not entangled]
Since the defeat of the grassland, Emperor Longxing has been in a bad mood.
Originally, he was a promising emperor who was in control of the people and the army, standing at the top of power, and was about to win the title of the emperor for the ages.
However, with the great defeat of the grassland, most of the ordinary soldiers representing the hearts of the lower class and the elite warriors representing the hearts of the gentry and the people in the world were ruined, which made Emperor Long Xing suddenly become disloyal from his ministers.
This is equivalent to the dream of the eternal emperor pursued by Emperor Longxing, and even the eternal emperor's dream was dead.
Even if his prince Lin Zhibai is filial and does not fight for power with him and supports him to continue to sit on the throne, his majesty and power will be severely damaged by this great defeat.
Whatever Emperor Longxing wants to do in the future will probably not be as smooth as he is now, and will be trapped in endless struggles with ministers and local officials.
It feels very uncomfortable to have a shattered dream. After dealing with the mess, abdication and abdication is also a way for Emperor Longxing to escape.
As a result, when he returned to the capital, Emperor Longxing found that he was regarded as his true love and as a concubine who could be completely in line with him. He was actually one of the culprits that shake the country this time.
The other party wanted to join forces with many rebels to hold the emperor to command the princes. Even this time he defeated the grassland, there were also reasons why the other party betrayed the information later.
This caused the already frustrated Emperor Long Xing to suffer a second blow.
The double frustration of career and love made him feel that everything in the world became boring.
When Lin Zhibai stepped into the Wanshou Palace where Emperor Longxing moved, he saw the scene of Emperor Longxing drinking to relieve his sorrow. In just a few months, he looked like a young man, but now he looked more than ten years older.
He was completely devoid of energy and was extremely decadent.
"Zhibai is here."
Emperor Long Xing said hello in a daze, and then continued to drink.
A warrior with a great master's cultivation level drank like this, and I don't know how much he drank or how long he had been drinking.
Waving his hand to signal the maid to leave, Lin Zhibai personally poured a glass of wine for Emperor Long Xingdi and said with a smile: "Come and see your father."
Although the father and son have a good relationship, they are busy with their own relationships and do not meet often. They mostly send their servants to greet and visit them, and they don’t seem unfamiliar at this moment.
Then, Lin Zhibai didn't say anything and drank with Emperor Long Xing.
Lin Zhibai poured wine at a rapid and slow rate. He used Long Xingdi as the master's physical fitness and the accumulation of alcohol was not as fast as he could. Therefore, Long Xingdi became more and more sober as he drank.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze put down his wine glass, looked at Lin Zhibai beside him, and said helplessly: "Son, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Zhibai talked about what happened in the court today.
Lin Ze didn't understand what Lin Zhibai was confused about and said in confusion: "Your son, you are fifteen years old this year. Many noble children have become fathers at this time. Since the ministers are worried about the inheritance of the country and the temple, you should marry a queen.
"I think Lin Qing is good, she looks, has a good character, and has a good talent. She is already a master of famous masters at a young age. With the emperor, you have also grown up with childhood sweethearts. If you have a emotional foundation, how about marrying her as the queen?
"If you don't like it, you can also send the world to select the beautiful ladies and enter the palace, and choose one or some of the concubines you like."
"If you nod, I will let your mother do it for you tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhibai smiled bitterly and did not answer.
Sure enough, people in this era have different views on love than him.
What he needs is not a tool for having children to vent his physical desires, nor is it a partner who can make do with his life, nor is it a marriage tool that can be put together based on various interests.
What he wants is a true lover, partner, and fellow Taoist who can accompany him to grow up, work hard together, have common topics and goals, and have consistent views with him.
If not, he would rather be alone.
Lin Qing is very good, but it is far from the point where Lin Zhibai is moved.
Getting married and having children means a responsibility, and he needs to accompany his wife, take care of his wife, and take care of their future children.
For Lin Zhibai, who is fully committed to practicing and even dealing with government affairs, putting his focus on his family is destined to be a luxury.
In order to escape the minister's supervision, he married a woman back in the other party's most beautiful youth, and then offered her as a clay sculpture.
This is why Lin Zhibai is confused.
If he really maintains an indifferent attitude in this regard, there is no need to worry about it.
"Apart from appearance, I don't like my senior sister so much, and I don't have time to accompany her." Lin Zhibai spoke and explained his thoughts.
As a man with normal physiological functions, he certainly likes his senior sister who has delicate and beautiful appearance and delicate figure, but that's all.
Lin Ze looked at Lin Zhibai's slightly smile, and couldn't help but think of his concubine Yao, and suddenly understood what Lin Zhibai was struggling with at this moment.
Who had never yearned for a perfect love when he was young?
But, this is destined to be a luxury, and even for the powerful emperors.
After drinking another glass of wine, Lin Zeyou sighed: "What do you want to do that, then prince?"
Lin Zhibai simply said: "My son is obsessed with practicing and has no intention of having a love for his children. He also asked his father and mother to work hard to add a younger brother or sister to his son, and he can make him the crown prince at that time."
I don’t know if it was contraceptive or other reasons. However, although the emperor and the empress often had sex in recent years, they did not have a second son.
If it weren't for the unjust reputation of other half-sisters, there wouldn't be anyone who would support him. Lin Zhibai would really want to pick up one of them from the clan's children and be the crown prince.
"..." Lin Ze.
After a moment of speechlessness, Lin Ze agreed: "There is no problem for your father. Your mother is afraid that her younger brother and sister will affect you in the future, so she is unwilling to have another child. You have to explain your mother first."
The emperor and the empress are only under forty years old this year and are in good health.
Most of Lin Zhibai's martial arts resources spent over the years were handled by Zhao Wenqian.
Therefore, she knew very well that her son spent a lot of money on martial arts, and was afraid that she would not be able to provide such a genius as if she had another child. Even because of distracted care of her young son, Lin Zhibai simply took the initiative to contraceptive.
"The son-in-law will discuss it well with the mother."
Unexpectedly, there was such a story behind this, and Lin Zhibai was moved.
"There is something else? Prince, you are so idle today?"
After a while, when he saw Lin Zhibai not leaving, Emperor Long Xing asked in confusion.
If it were usual, Lin Zhibai would definitely run away after he finished speaking and would not waste a minute and a second of martial arts practice. Emperor Long Xing had long been used to his temperament.
"In terms of government affairs, I also ask my father to take care of him." At this time, Lin Zhibai took out the imperial seal that Emperor Longxing had just sent him a few months ago and spoke with a smile.
