Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 324 Compromise

"Betrayal? Your Highness, what do you mean?" Yelunan stood up, walked to the table, reached out to touch the teapot on the table, it seemed to be still warm, he poured himself a cup of tea, and said slowly, "If you have never been loyal, how can you betray?"

"Father used to be the regent of the Liao Kingdom, and now he is the legitimate King of Liao. As a native of Liao Kingdom and a member of the Yelu family, if he is not loyal to his father, who do you plan to be loyal to?" The man in black's exposed eyes shot cold Guang said, "I know, you and A Lan have a very good relationship, you two grew up together, but what you did is unusual, playing tricks under your father's nose, aren't you a little too courageous? "

"You are... Your Royal Highness, your logic makes me feel very strange." After drinking tea, Yelunan sat back on the side of the bed again, put the long sword in front of him, and said with a sneer, "Because uncle is The regent is the king of Liao, so we must obey him, is that what you mean?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Shouldn't he be our relative, my uncle, and the father of you and A Lan?"

"Is there any difference?" The man in black cleared his throat, "Anan, don't change the subject, this is not what I want to talk to you about."

"Your Highness, you... have been in Jiaping Pass for almost sixteen years, right? Have you ever wondered why you are the one here and not someone else?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Yelunan said in a very pitiful tone, "From your birth to now, everything you have experienced has been calculated by others. Even when your mother gave birth to you, He was also calculated. And the person who plotted against you two... needless to say, you know who it is, right?" Seeing the unbelievable look in the eyes of the man in black, he sighed softly He said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, what I said is true, it's all said by the good father you said, my respectable good uncle."

"I... I don't understand what you want to express." The man in black turned his head away from looking at Yelunan, "You just need to give me an answer now, are you going to betray your father, or are you going to... plot rebellion? Or... seek power and usurp the throne?"

"Treason? No, this crime is too big for us to bear. As for seeking power and usurping the throne, it's even more out of the question. We just..." Yelunan pondered for a while, "Well, we want to change the status of our country. That's the status quo."

"That's pretty nice to say, but in fact, you just want to betray the country and seek glory for your own benefit." The man in black snorted coldly, "You have all united with the Shen family's army, and are you saying that you are not rebelling?"

"How about this, let's put aside our prejudices and talk about this matter." Yelunan looked at the man in black seriously, "You have been in Daxia for many years, what do the young people here look like, you are better than us. They all know it well. As for the young people in our Liao Kingdom and our Linhuang Mansion, when they open their eyes every day, they don't think about how to practice their kung fu well, how to enrich their knowledge, but how to intrigue with their opponents, Get rid of the so-called rivals. In the current court, one family quarrels with another family, the South Court quarrels with the North Court, or civil servants quarrel with civil servants, and generals quarrel with military generals. In short, from top to bottom The whole world is full of smog." He looked at the man in black, "Your Highness, do you think this kind of court should continue?"

"But……"

"There is nothing but, if we continue like this, we will be severely left behind by Daxia."

"But... what does this have to do with father?"

"Uncle, as the regent, as the person in power, without his acquiescence and guidance, do you think this would have happened?" Seeing the man in black remain silent, Yelunan sighed, "He is just thinking A meticulous and scheming person was able to sit in the position of the regent because of his calculations. As I said just now, your birth was also a calculation of his. As for Alan, his situation is similar to yours. There is no difference. As far as I know, before your mother, your uncle already had three concubines, and they also had children, and they were all boys. They died within a few days of birth due to various accidents. gone."

"You mean...the father wants to have an eldest daughter from a concubine, not a... eldest son from a concubine? Why?"

"Why? Your own experience has shown what it is. Uncle needs a concubine's eldest daughter. When she was very young, she was thrown into the wild border gate as the most solid nail he planted in Jiaping Pass. And the boy Compared with girls, it is easier to be protected, less likely to be suspected, and more able to gain a foothold in a strange place. Facts have proved that his assumption is correct, and you have done better than he imagined."

"Oh, is this a compliment?"

"Well, anyway, I heard him and his confidants praise you more than once, saying that you have inherited his ruthlessness." Yelunan paused, listened to the movement outside the house for a while, and after confirming that there was no one, he continued, "You One year after leaving Linhuang Mansion, Ah Lan was born, and as the regent, uncle must have an eldest son, even if he is reluctant."

"Reluctant?" The man in black nodded, "I heard that his princess is not his beloved, and his beloved passed away before marrying him, so he had to follow the elders' wishes and marry that A princess. So, this is why he would rather trade the life of the princess for his own?"

"Beloved?" Yelunan raised his eyebrows, "Uncle's most beloved person in his life is only himself, and anyone else is a tool he can use. Your Royal Highness, you are still too naive."

"But, no matter what, my father is now the king of Liao, and A Lan is the prince. Sooner or later, the throne will be his. When he becomes the king of Liao, I will have no objection to whatever you do. Now you In this way, don't you think it's too much to mobilize the army? Even if the Shen family's army is involved, you won't be afraid of stealing chickens and losing money? You didn't get what you wanted, but you got the Liao Kingdom in instead?"

"Can the Liao Kingdom wait for that time?" Yelunan sighed, "Your Highness, I know how the late king passed away, and you know it too. Before he passed away, he secretly sent someone to find A Lan and enter the palace. , I hope he can push uncle down from the altar, and I also hope that he can make the court of Liao Kingdom look brand new."

"Is this... the late king's last wish?"

"Yes, this matter is very important, I dare not speak in vain." Yelunan raised his head and looked at the roof, "To be honest, I have always looked down on this cousin, thinking that he is submissive and lacks the courage of a man But he did not hesitate to use his life to fight against his uncle, which I admire very much. Therefore, I want to fulfill his entrustment. Your Royal Highness, we living people cannot do nothing at all, and we cannot let the late king The struggle has become a joke, right? What's more, we can't just watch the children of the Yelu family become victims of our uncle on the road to power one by one, can we?"

"I understand what you mean, the late king...he is the hero of our Yelu family and deserves our respect."

"So, I implore you to think about my proposal and create a new court together with us." Of course, I will not force you to stand on our side, and if you want to tip off the news, I will not stop you . Yelunan looked out of the window, "You have been out for a long time, it's time to go back!" "

The man in black nodded, stood up and walked slowly to the door, stood there for a while, and sighed softly.

"Even if I'm not in Linhuang Mansion, I know what my father will do to the traitor. You and Alan are both my younger brothers. I won't just watch you die in front of me. So, what do you want to do?" Just do what you want, don't worry that I will report to you, I won't do that, don't worry!"

"Then thank you, Your Royal Highness, for fulfilling it!"

"I hope that you can get what you want, and that the opportunity that the late king gave you with his own life will not be wasted."

After finishing speaking, the man in black opened the door and disappeared in front of Yelunan in an instant.
