Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 118 The Substitute Bride 34

Chu Yuze was surprised that Ji Xiaosong would ask him this question. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "Then I'll just go and conquer other countries and give them to them."

Ji Xiaosong was so shocked that she didn't know what to say or how to educate the child.

"Yuze, others also have their own countries. Won't what you're doing cause them to lose their homeland?"

Chu Yuze straightened his small body and said with a firm gaze, "Mother, in this world, the strong are respected. As our country grows strong, we should naturally expand our territory. Only when our territory is vast and our resources are abundant can our people live a better life. If we take over those weak countries, with our governance, we can surely make them prosperous as well. Moreover, if we do not take the initiative, it is hard to guarantee that other countries will not covet our land, and in that case, it will be our people who suffer."

"You're right because you're strong," Ji Xiaosong thought, finding no reason to refute him.

"Your mother will discuss the matter of having a younger brother or sister with your father."

Ji Xiaosong relented, and Chu Yuze happily ate two more bowls of rice.

When Chu Qingyun came to keep Ji Xiaosong company that evening, she told him exactly what Chu Yuze had said during the day.

"Qingyun, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that this child has such thoughts at such a young age?"

Chu Qingyun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Song'er, this matter cannot be simply judged as good or bad. As the Crown Prince and the future emperor, Yuze needs to have a long-term vision and a broad mind."

"His idea is not entirely wrong, but it still needs guidance. As the crown prince, he should consider not only military conquest, but also benevolent governance and love for the people."

"While war can bring territorial expansion, it also brings suffering to the people and devastation to the nation. The best course of action is to win the hearts and minds of other countries and achieve common prosperity through peaceful means."

"Yuze's ideas reflect his desire for a strong nation, but we need to make him understand that true strength does not rely solely on military force, but also requires support from many aspects such as culture, economy, and public support."

Ji Xiaosong sighed softly and said, "But he is so young, yet he has such thoughts. I am always worried that he will be too radical."

Chu Qingyun held Ji Xiaosong's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Children need time to grow. I will have a good talk with Yuze tomorrow and make him understand the reasons behind it. In fact, in some ways, I quite agree with his ambition, but the methods need to be corrected."

Ji Xiaosong nodded, leaned against Chu Qingyun's chest, and said, "I hope Yuze can understand our good intentions and become a wise ruler."

“Song’er, you can rest assured that our child will surely be the most wise and virtuous ruler.”

Chu Qingyun stopped Ji Xiaosong from speaking, gently pulled her into his arms, and said softly, "Song'er, what Yuze said makes sense. Besides, I also want to have more children with you, so that this palace can be more lively and warm."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaosong blushed slightly and scolded, "Even at a time like this, you're still being so improper."

"How is this improper? It is our responsibility to produce offspring for the royal family." Chu Qingyun said with a smile.

"That's all you can say."

Ji Xiaosong lightly punched Chu Qingyun's chest, but Chu Qingyun grabbed her soft, boneless hand tightly.

"Song'er, please don't refuse anymore, okay?"

Ji Xiaosong lowered her head shyly and softly replied, "Mmm."

Chu Qingyun was overjoyed to see her agree and hugged her even tighter.

The next day.

Chu Yuze had just gotten up when he was summoned to the training ground.

"Father, is there something you need from me that you summoned me here?"

Chu Qingyun said with a serious expression, "Yu Ze, I have found a seasoned general for you to teach you military strategy and martial arts. If you really want to expand your territory in the future, you must be thoroughly familiar with all the intricacies involved."

At this moment, a majestic general stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Chu Yuze looked at the general curiously and asked, "General, can you teach me how to conquer the battlefield and achieve unparalleled feats?"

The general said loudly, "Your Highness, war is not something that can be accomplished with just passion. One must know astronomy and geography, understand the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and, more importantly, know how to deploy troops and make good use of the talents of generals and soldiers."

Chu Qingyun nodded and said, "Yu Ze, do you understand?"

Chu Yuze seemed to understand, and said, "Your subject understands, and will certainly study diligently."

Chu Qingyun smiled with satisfaction and said, "Good, from today onwards, you will study diligently with the general."

The general replied, "Your Highness is wise; I will certainly impart all my knowledge to you."

What Chu Qingyun said to Ji Xiaosong last night about reasoning with her was all nonsense; he was just afraid that Ji Xiaosong would worry.

From beginning to end, Chu Qingyun was not an easy person to talk to.

If they don't obey, then beat them until they do.

Preaching is just something I do when I'm in the mood for amusement.

Since our son has this idea, even if it doesn't happen, we should make thorough preparations for it.

The general began to teach Chu Yuze some basic martial arts moves and body techniques. He did not have high expectations for this seven-year-old child and only wanted to guide him slowly.

"Your Highness, first, assume a firm stance, and place your fists at your waist," the general demonstrated.

Chu Yuze did as instructed, his movements slightly clumsy, but his eyes revealed determination and focus.

The general nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "He's still just a child, but it's not bad that he can listen and do as he's told."

As time went on, Chu Yuze began to learn more complex movements, such as kicking and punching.

His movements became more and more precise, and his speed increased.

The general's indifference gradually disappeared, replaced by surprise: "Your Highness, this rate of progress far exceeds that of ordinary people!"

Chu Yuze's face flushed red as he panted, "General, please teach me something even harder!"

Chu Qingyun watched from the side, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes brimming with pride: "As expected of my son, with such talent, he will surely achieve great things in the future!"

The general began to teach more advanced martial arts techniques. Chu Yuze initially struggled, but quickly grasped the essentials.

The general couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness is truly gifted! I have never seen such an intelligent child with such excellent physical condition!"

Chu Qingyun laughed loudly: "My Yuze is naturally outstanding. Continue to teach him well and do not slack off in the slightest!"

Chu Yuze gritted his teeth and persisted in practicing, his clothes soaked with sweat, but he showed no sign of stopping.

At the end of the day's training, the general was still somewhat reluctant to stop.

He had fought on the battlefield for many years and seen countless training sessions and soldiers, but people as intelligent and talented as Chu Yuze were rare, or even unheard of.

Back in his residence, he tossed and turned in bed, recalling his time with Chu Yuze during the day. He seemed to see the future emperor expanding his territory.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingyun, holding Ji Xiaosong, continued to carry out the plan to create younger siblings for Chu Yuze.
