The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

Chapter 159 Female General (15)

Many times, because a person is the decision maker of something, he or she has to bear all the consequences of this decision.

Either visible on the surface or hidden in secret.

In Gao Ting's opinion, it's unfair.

He didn't want Shi Yue to bear all the pain of killing Yuansheng with his own hands.

But it is obvious that those who are involved are more confused than those who are on the sidelines.

If one day he faces the same desperate situation, what should he do?

He had no answer, because even more unexpected disasters were waiting for him in the future.

Shi Yue was not convinced by this, but she would not be addicted forever.

She was so fragile at this moment that she could not imagine what she would encounter in the near future.

Some people and some things are not destined to end here, and their entanglements will continue for many more years.

In the sixth year of Tensho, Wuqi invaded Da Shang and was defeated.

The crows were driven back to their old place a hundred years ago.

The following year, Dongyuan surrendered to the Shang Dynasty and, as a gesture of friendship, sent its princess Yinghua to the Shang Dynasty as a consort.

Dongyuan is located to the east of Wuqi and the northeast corner of Dashang.

Its national power is slightly weaker than that of Shang and Qi, but it is very good at changing its stance according to the situation.

They are typical fence-sitters who will quickly change sides when the timing is not right. The whole country is full of slippery elements.

Good at management, vigorously developing economic and trade by relying on the natural advantages of being amphibious.

Not very strong in combat but rich.

The princess of Dongyuan's journey to Beijing for marriage overlaps with Shi Yue and others' journey back to Beijing.

After a great victory in the foreign war, Generals Shi and Gao went to Beijing on behalf of the soldiers at the border to receive titles and rewards.

Therefore, the important task of escorting the princess was also given to them.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Shi Yue and the others had been waiting at the agreed location early in the morning. After all, she was a princess of a country, so how could she ask others to wait for them?

The border is desolate and barren, only Princess Yinghua covers her face with a red veil and her red skirt with gold edges drags on the ground, like a rose blooming in the desert.

She is gorgeous and charming, and as radiant and otherworldly as a goddess.

"Both generals, please get up quickly."

The princess' voice was also charming and pleasant, and she showed them the same respect.

A pair of star-like eyes, looking around with brilliance.

Looking at them with full affection makes those being looked at feel as if they are basking in the spring breeze.

"I heard that there is a princess in the Great Shang Kingdom whose martial arts and wisdom are not inferior to those of men."

"At the age of fifteen, he joined the army. He served in the army for several years, but he did not waste his time. Instead, he became famous and his reputation spread to all countries in the four continents."

"General Shi, am I right?"

Shi Yue would certainly not be so immodest, but he also couldn't just say no outright.

"Princess, you are too kind. I just did what ordinary men do. How can I be famous?"

"What an ordinary man would do!"

Yinghua was shocked by her few casual words, but those few words covered up her dazzling and glorious years.

What kind of mind could make her such a remarkable woman?

"If men can do it, women can do it too. If men can't do it, women can do it too."

Yinghua was stunned. "It would be great if everyone in the world thought like you."

She is leaving her hometown and is about to embark on a journey to a foreign country.

The bitterness that goes through this process cannot be understood by others.

The people of the motherland will only remember that a princess married into the Shang Dynasty and contributed to the friendly relations between the two countries.

But whether she is willing or not, and whether she will live a good life in the future, is not cared about.

She alone brought about the friendly relations between the two countries, a few years of stability and peace, and the soldiers who risked their lives on the front line.

It's a deal that couldn't be more worthwhile.

Besides, she had enjoyed a life of luxury since childhood, so she should do her part to prevent the people from suffering.

but……

Sometimes she would wonder, wasn't her father enjoying all the wealth and glory standing above the heads of the common people?

He should be even worse.

He also has supreme imperial power that she does not have.

Then why could the emperor sit comfortably on the supreme throne and send her to marry with just a flick of his finger?

It is euphemistically said that it is for the sake of friendship between the two countries.

She wanted to pay a corresponding price for the enjoyment she had in the past, so she wanted to marry into the Shang Dynasty.

But, what about my father?

He can then have women on both sides, reap the benefits of her efforts, and be praised by the people.

He saved his subjects from suffering caused by war and was truly a wise ruler.

And those ministers who always talk about loyalty and righteousness and put her on the high platform of moral responsibility for the country in the court, what sacrifices have they made for Dongyuan?

And all the wealthy and powerful families, their lives are no worse than hers, a princess who has to rely on others for support.

She thought that if her father issued an edict, the daughters of these trusted ministers and prominent families would also be given the titles of princesses and governors and sent to the Shang Dynasty.

They would also be happy to send their own daughters who they had raised since childhood.

Even if some are reluctant, they will add, "As a father, I can't bear it, but this is for the country..."

Just one sentence can wipe out half of a woman's lifelong happiness.

From then on, she was a symbol, a mascot.

As long as the two countries are on good terms, she will live.

When the two countries go to war, she dies.

Apart from them, even her brothers were the same.

The emperor's elder brother will inherit Datong in the future and become a monarch like his father. Then he will follow the example of the elder brother and send his daughter to another country for marriage.

The emperor's younger brother would be a leisurely prince, never worrying about food and drink, and live a free and easy life, which she envied in the deep palace.

Then they would all forget about her as their sister.

Live your own life.

Is this the mission of a woman?

Is this a fate that even a princess as noble as her cannot change at will?

No.

she heard herself say.

She saw Shi Yue, a radiant, rosy, plump, healthy and tall man.

Girls.

It turns out that women can live like this.

There is no need to get dressed up early every morning to please yourself.

Instead, he got up at the sound of the cock-crow, read books and practiced martial arts.

There is no need to speak in a soft and gentle voice to gain a reputation for virtue.

Instead, she stood in front of the men on the battlefield, reviewing their troops and giving orders.

There is no need to put yourself and your relatives in a difficult position and entrust your future to a strange country.

Instead, he relied on himself to defeat his enemies and made them surrender, and stood in front of the princesses of other countries, confident and powerful.

Shi Yue heard her involuntarily murmur.

I understand that Princess Yinghua is also an extraordinary person with lofty ambitions.

It is because she is also a woman that she can say such words and do such things.

Men are not born to empathize with women.

No matter how much someone loves you, praises you, or is good to you, they can't do this.

Because they cannot give birth to children for you, this is the nature of the world and cannot be changed.

Therefore, only when women are in power can we truly benefit the people who are also women, and get rid of the world where all political laws and rules are created for men.

"Princess Dayi, thank you for your hard work along the way."

She could not be the master of Da Shang Dongyuan, and could not change her fate of marriage.

"Your servants are ordered to escort you to the capital. Leave the rest of the journey to me. I will definitely protect you!"

But at least she could ensure the safety of this foreign woman along the way.
