Section 128: Children, concubines
Jiang Feng's eyes looked at Xu Ning were already a little more commendable.
This is a woman born for politics. No matter what she is in other aspects or how she feels about her, but there are really few people around her who can compare to her keen sense of smell and insight, as well as her learning ability.
She analyzed the pros and cons of this time the army's pros and cons and cons of all the gains and losses clearly and accurately. Even Jiang Feng felt that he had not completely thought about it, and Xu Ning had already thought of it.
If Xu Ning was really a man, maybe she could really leave a strong mark in this history, but as a woman, Jiang Feng felt that maybe she could still have a world that belonged to her.
"Xiao Ning, what do you think you should do now?" Jiang Feng's tone became a little more complicated.
Xu Ning smiled. She heard the complex emotions inside the man in front of her, which was exactly what she wanted.
No matter how you deal with her, your impression of this man will only become deeper and more important.
She never expected to monopolize this man. The identity of a flat wife determined that her status was very embarrassing. She had a positive wife, and even many flat wifes with similar identities to her in the future.
In terms of friendship, I am not as good as Xiao Jing and Ju Luo. So how can I occupy a place in the other party’s mind and even around him? Only by showing my unique style can I make the other party realize that I am indispensable.
Women can win men's respect and favor without their appearance. Although Xu Ning is confident that she is not inferior to others in terms of appearance, she hopes to conquer men with wisdom.
"Why, Erlang, can't bear to deal with me?" Xu Ning asked with a naughty smile.
He touched his jaw awkwardly. Xu Ning's words hit Jiang Feng's thoughts, which was indeed difficult to deal with.
If it is not handled well, it may even have a negative effect.
Moreover, no matter how it is handled, there will be some negative impacts, and Jiang Feng does not want this situation to occur.
From the bottom of my heart, Jiang Feng also admires Xu Ning's approach.
With the other party's wisdom, he would not have imagined that the consequences of her doing so might have, which may have an impact on her future status, but she still did it without hesitation. With this, Jiang Feng felt that perhaps marrying this woman was not as bad as she had imagined before.
"Well, that's right, I can't bear to leave." Jiang Feng said calmly after hesitating.
A real man said he had nothing to be embarrassed about what he thought.
Xu Ning also raised his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise on his face. She didn't expect Jiang Feng to answer so calmly, which seemed to be inconsistent with Jiang Feng's temperament.
"Erlang?"
"Well, what's wrong? Xiao Ning, can you think about me? Do you dare not even express my own thoughts clearly?" Jiang Feng asked back, his tone relaxed, "What's more, you are still my fiancée, isn't that an exaggeration?"
A flash of blush appeared on his cheeks, and there was a little indescribable emotion in Xu Ning's beautiful eyes. The momentum revealed in Jiang Feng's words was enough to prove that he did not care much about potential risks, and even showed that he had enough confidence to control risks, which in a sense was to decompose for himself.
No matter what angle the man in front of him thought about it and made such a gesture, it also made Xu Ning feel a little comforted. At least this man was not a ruthless person, and he also understood his thoughts and intentions.
"Erlang, thank you." Xu Ning's tone was a little more relieved and satisfied, "However, the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, and things need to be done, otherwise it will be difficult to manage the big Huai Youjun in the future."
Jiang Feng's eyes were flowing, "Xiao Ning, what are you going to deal with?"
"It's not me who deals with it, it's you who deal with it." Xu Ning's expression became relaxed and happy, "But Erlang, I want to ask for punishment. Maybe this will make everyone more accepting."
"Please punish yourself?" Jiang Feng's expression moved slightly, thinking, "What kind of punishment do you plan to ask for?"
"I am suspected of being arbitrarily. Although I can barely argue that I am in power on the spot, this can easily lead to misunderstandings in any case." Xu Ning said in a deep voice: "So I requested to be confined to my home for a year."
After being suspended for a year? Jiang Feng was stunned. What kind of punishment is this?
But then she thought about it, Xu Ning was neither a general nor an official, and she was not even a family member. She was just her fiancée, and she was an unmarried wife. The reason why she asked for punishment was actually to share the pressure and responsibility for Cui Shang, Yang Kan and others.
The decision to send troops was Cui Shang and Yang Kan, not Xu Ning, and she did not have this power. She just expressed her attitude and gave Cui Shang and Yang Kan a hint, making Cui Shang and Yang Kan abandon unnecessary concerns.
So from this perspective, it is appropriate for Xu Ning to ask for such punishment. This is a gesture, a gesture for everyone to see.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but admire Xu Ning's careful and clever mind.
Such a self-responsible person is not able to see any clues for ordinary people, but he can understand the profound meaning of the generals in the military. No one can do anything to transcend the rules and systems, otherwise he will be punished.
After thinking about it, Jiang Feng felt that Xu Ning's self-punishment was just right, and he could not refuse and could not find a better way to replace it.
"Xiao Ning, can you get used to being in a jail for a year?" Jiang Feng asked slowly.
Seeing Jiang Feng ask this, Xu Ning also knew that Jiang Feng had accepted this opinion and felt relieved. This method is acceptable to everyone, and it can also make everyone understand the profound meaning and avoid unnecessary disputes.
"You have to get used to it even if you are not used to it." Xu Ning pursed his lips, and a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Erlang, if you do something wrong, you will be punished. This is the rule. I hope my punishment will make sense. In addition, I think the reason for this situation this time is also related to you."
"Well, I'm not here, I haven't arranged it..." Jiang Feng's words were interrupted by Xu Ning: "I'm not referring to this. If you are not here, there should be someone who makes a decision for you, but Cui Shang is your chief think tank. Yang Kan's prestige is second only to you, but they both have difficulty replacing you in terms of identity. This is the embarrassment, and they also need to be taboo to make decisions and be criticized and questioned. This is the crux of the problem."
"You mean..." Jiang Feng hadn't recalled it yet.
"I mean, you should have children." Xu Ning said lightly.
Jiang Feng was stunned.
"If I have married you and have your descendants, then this time my statement will not be regarded as a presumption, because you are not here, and I am the descendant of yours, that is, your successor, which is reasonable. Of course, there is also a question of how they accept it or not, and whether or not they accept it depends on them, but my behavior will not be regarded as presumption."
Xu Ning's eyes were cold.
"Of course, as your unmarried flat wife, I can only wait before you marry a real wife, but you can take a concubine first, Xiaojing, and Ju Li. I don't think you will be disgusted or opposed, right? If they have your descendants, they can solve many problems, and more importantly, they can calm people's hearts. Don't you realize that the lack of an heir will make your generals feel uneasy?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Ning brought the topic to this issue, and Jiang Feng was also a little surprised.
But Jiang Feng also knew that this problem was actually imminent.
In fact, when Chang Kun left Gushi, he mentioned to himself that it was time to consider the issue of descendants. Even if he could not consider marrying a wife for a while, the concubine would not be affected.
If a concubine has children, she can still assume the status of heirs without a legitimate son. Of course, it is best to marry a wife as soon as possible, so that the legitimate son is the most stable and legal heir.
This is the most realistic requirement.
With increasingly frequent wars, it is extremely important for a vassal clan to have healthy descendants, which means that a regime has the core that can continue its inheritance.
Of course, it is indeed a bit rare for a newly-created vassal family like me, especially at this age, but it is also rare for me to be unmarried at my age.
In fact, Jiang Feng also understood that even if he had a son right now, it was not as Xu Ning said that everyone was confident. The establishment of a vassal clan requires precipitation, and offspring is only one aspect, and it is even necessary to grow up healthily and become an adult before it can work.
But Xu Ning focused on the future. If he had children the day earlier, he would grow up and grow up the day earlier, and the risks would be smaller in the future, which is also very important.
After a long silence, Jiang Feng said reluctantly: "I will consider this issue."
"No, Erlang, it's not the time to consider this issue, but to implement this matter as soon as possible. Xiaojing and Ju Luo, I believe you don't hate it at least? Do you still think they will marry someone else? Since that's the case, why not accept them as soon as possible?" Xu Ning was very frank, "They should get married long ago. Say a rude thing, you can accept them as soon as possible, so as to calm their hearts as soon as possible."
Jiang Feng was speechless.
"Now that Shouzhou has just begun to decide, it's just right for you to take them as concubines. I know you are still planning to Huainan. If you delay it until the end of the year or even next year, maybe your time will be tighter. After taking Xiaojing, she feels at ease. After taking Ju Li, Ju Li is also a bed and guard, which is much more convenient." Xu Ning said further.
I have to admit that what Xu Ning said is reasonable. Even though Jiang Feng is still a little uncomfortable, he also understands that in this era, it is a bit out of place to stick to the past time and space.
