The reborn general girl is the emperor

These words are very similar to when I handed over Xijiang to him.

Yan Qing pressed the center of his eyebrows, lowered his head and thought for a long time.

"This is not a child's play."

After a long time, Yan Qing also looked at him seriously, "You are not the one who sees the turmoil and remains indifferent."

"It's certainly not a child's play, and I never took it as a child's play."

Meng Shulan interrupted her directly, "Have you ever heard of the agreement between five families?"

Yan Qing's eyes flickered slightly, remembering what Guo Jiatong said to him when he first entered the northern border, he nodded.

"The five families who founded the Wu'an state had an agreement that the Wu'an border would be governed by the five families. Although the Wen family is the emperor, the other four families can replace the Wen family when the Wen family withers or the emperor becomes weak."

Meng Shulan took out a package from her bosom and put it in front of Yan Qing, "When I was fleeing, I met the second uncle of the Yan family who was also hunted down. This thing was brought out by him from the ancestral hall of the Yan family. This thing is entrusted to me."

Yan Qing was slightly taken aback, "Second Uncle, he..."

Meng Shulan nodded.

Eyes fell on the blood-stained package, Yan Qing's expression was complicated.

In the previous life, Yan Qiwei was also the one who pushed her and the Yan family into the abyss. She thought that he was old and the only old man in the Yan family, so she just imprisoned him in the Xihou Mansion in the capital city.

As soon as they left, Yan Qiwei was left to fend for himself.

It's just that with the family property of Zhenxihou's Mansion in Beijing and Fang Qiao's care, if he doesn't make trouble anymore, he can still end up dying like his previous life.

But now, he has escaped, took the belongings from the Yan family's ancestral hall, died in Kexiang, and delivered them to her...

Looking at the package in front of him, Yan Qing didn't open it immediately, but just looked at it.

If you open this package, there will be no way out for some things, right?
She is used to being a forward, and even if she retreats, she wants to advance.At this time, she was thinking of retreating to make a living.

But the person in front of him was very familiar with her, just a single hesitation made him aware of his thoughts, and he didn't give her a way out at all.

"Four of the five families who formed the covenant are from the family of the previous dynasty. Only the Yan family is not from the previous dynasty, but the original royal family of the neighboring country Xiyan."

Meng Shulan told him all the secrets of Wu'an that the emperor told him back then, "Xiyan is good at fighting, sandwiched between the former dynasty, Qiang Kingdom and Xirong, undefeated for many years, and has deep ties with the three kingdoms."

Relying on mutual restraint with the Three Kingdoms and its own military strength, Xiyan lasted for many years, until the former tyrant went against the law and the balance among the Three Kingdoms was broken, and Xiyan was suffering from drought and crop failure.

Therefore, Xiyan joined forces with the other four families to overthrow the tyranny of the previous dynasty, and included the relatively prosperous Fenhan City along the Xiangzhang River into its territory, forming the current Western Frontier.

Since then, Xijiang has been able to meet the basic livelihood of the people without the need to purchase food and grass from outside, but it is far from enough to maintain the expenses of the permanent troops in Xijiang.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Yan family made an agreement with the other four families to establish today's Wu'an.But if one day the five families discord, Xiyan will be restored and everyone will go their separate ways.

"It is also because of this that the imperial court has always wanted to send people to Western Xinjiang and disintegrate the political system in Western Xinjiang, but Western Xinjiang has always been like an iron barrel, and there is no breakthrough."

Meng Shulan paused for a moment, his eyes became complicated for a moment, but he still said, "So, in order to take the power of Xijiang into his own hands, whether it is the Xu family that has been planning for many years, the Li family that has been destroyed, or the century-old The Wen family is directly or indirectly relying on foreign forces to suppress Western Xinjiang."

"The old Zhenxihou's battle back then, and the previous Zhenxihou's battle, the reason why they lost so badly was because someone backstabbed and betrayed the military."

Lowering her eyes, Meng Shulan avoided her gaze, did not dare to look into her eyes, clenched her knuckles slightly, and said in a low voice, "The Wen family knew about this, but they chose to let it go and conceal it."

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence in the big tent.

Yan Qing kept silent, which made him feel uneasy. He pursed his lips and spoke again, "After all, he is my uncle. I don't expect you to treat me as kindly as before. But..."

Pausing for a moment, Meng Shulan took a deep breath, looked up at the person opposite, "If you hide this matter and let you accept this favor without knowing it out of guilt, I will probably feel uneasy all my life."

They are all too familiar with each other.

He knew that she would not take the emperor's anger at him because of what he had done, and she also knew that he would tell him such things, because he was ready to be a stranger.

He is pushing her.

After knowing these things, it is impossible for her to let go of Xijiang, and it is impossible for her to ignore the blood feud between her father and brother.

She came back for revenge.

Staring at the silent person opposite with half-down eyelids, Yan Qing had never felt so tired, but somehow heaved a sigh of relief.
It turned out that his kindness to himself also contained guilt.

She knew that this was not the case, and she also knew that she was venting her anger. She also knew that the emperor must have turned a blind eye to this matter from the very beginning, and might even have contributed to it.

But she has been consciously avoiding this idea, because she is also ashamed of him, and she thinks that this may be able to make up for his love for her in the previous life.

But now he has personally torn apart this illusion for her to see, forcing her to face it and ask her own heart.

He just happened to be the emperor's nephew for things like venting anger. He has been planning for the people of Xijiang, so what should she blame?

But when this reason was presented, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she was overwhelmed and overwhelmed by the heavy affection.

There is no need for guilt.

Such a thought made her feel ashamed, but it was also the best excuse for her to maintain the status quo.

He closed his eyes heavily, let out a long sigh, and when he opened them again, the look in Yan Qing's eyes was a little clearer, and the look in his eyes was still complicated, but the guilt and uneasiness that had been lurking in his eyes since his rebirth was gone.

Seeing her like this, Meng Shulan couldn't tell whether she was relieved or worried.

She didn't want her to be only guilty and grateful to herself, but worried that she would write everything off, even strangers would be awkward.

But he has no regrets telling the story.

If you can't be honest, how can you talk about admiration, and what qualifications do you have to get the same response?
He quietly waited for her answer, knowing that she would not vent her anger, but he had already prepared for the worst in his heart.

At the end of the day, it's better to look up to her as a foreign minister than to be resented by her when she learns the truth after concealing it.

There is always such a person in the playbook, who can't love him, so he wants to make the other person hate him, hurt others, hurt himself, and entangle in pain.

He used to think that it was love to the extreme, until he really met this person, he didn't know that kind of love, he only loved himself.

If you really love that person, how can you bear half of her pain?

He couldn't let go noblely, and he didn't want to be resented by her, so he made up his mind to this point, waiting for her to step into this prison voluntarily.
