Chapter 165: The most ruthless emperor's family
Yan Yunting drove the wooden kite and slowly walked through the snow. He wrapped Li Yu tightly in his robe, so that except for his warm breath, he was not affected by the cold wind.
"Yan Yunting, I'm still a little worried about Senior Brother and Bai Xi. There are more than a million demons and ghosts in Beiyin Mountain. With this first episode, there may be a second and third episode, but now there are only
Less than fifty thousand..." Li Yu sighed melancholy.
Yan Yunting comforted him softly: "Yuwen Changqing once told me that the main force in Beiyin Mountain is the Bone King's skeleton soldiers. They have all been lost in Chang'an and there will be no large-scale attack for a while.
Just rest assured."
But that being said, who can really rest assured at this juncture?
Li Yu was still worried: "But have you noticed that the great demon kings of Jiuyou have never shown up? The old leader was seriously injured in the last disaster in Tianshan. In today's battle, the injury is even worse. If Chang'an is at this time again
If something happens, they will really be in danger."
Yan Yunting said: "Isn't there still the Jiuzhou Alliance?"
Li Yu shook his head, "You think too well of these Jianghu sects. Now that the building has collapsed and the emperor is dead, who will sacrifice for a fragmented dynasty?"
Yan Yunting smiled and said, "What? Do you regret leaving Chang'an?"
Li Yu did not deny it, but just sighed: "The Tianshan sect is my home. Senior brother and the others are like my family. Which daughter would give up her natal family when she gets married?"
"When you said that, the expression on Lu Gengyao's face appeared in my mind when you decided to leave."
"You are not allowed to tease my senior brother."
"But this guy has never been very nice to me."
"Elder brother is not so stingy."
"No man is generous in his fight for a woman."
"Elder brother doesn't have any other feelings for me, he just treats me as a sister..."
"Look, you don't feel confident saying this from your own mouth."
"Huhuhu..."
After being silent for a while, Li Yu turned his head and looked at Yan Yunting sincerely: "But I only regard him as my biological brother and have no other thoughts."
She and Lu Gengyao have been brothers for more than ten years, and it would be false to say that they have no feelings, but Yan Yunting happened to appear at this time, and the feelings he gave her were more sincere, more passionate, and more selfless.
Yan Yunting hugged Li Yu tightly, with a hint of arrogance at the corner of his mouth: "Even if you once had a crush on him, you are still held in my arms at this moment. I win, he loses, I am destined to win, he
Doomed to lose."
Li Yu looked complicated: "You...can't compare yourself with senior brother. You are both the most important people in my life."
Yan Yunting was still proud: "But in fact, I am much more important than him. When he learned that you were going to assassinate Wu Xiao, he was indifferent, but I got on the wooden kite and came. This is the difference between me and him. This is
This is also the reason why you left him and chose to follow me."
Li Yu didn't speak anymore, as if he acquiesced, and leaned closer to her.
Yan Yunting smiled proudly and asked again: "Oh, by the way, assuming you really stay in Chang'an, will Liu Jingchi support you as emperor? After all, almost everyone in the Li family is dead."
"You really don't know how to pick up the pot, and all of them are my blood relatives who died!" Li Yu complained, and then sighed:
"The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite and it will unite for a long time. Throughout the history of Kyushu, every time a dynasty is broken, there will be a period of division, with countries separatist and heroes vying for power. Even if Liu Jingchi proclaims me emperor, he cannot save the world's fragmented situation.
.”
Yan Yunting held his chin and said with a smile: "Oh? According to what you said, I think we should take advantage of the war in the troubled times to occupy the mountain and become the king. Wouldn't it be fun to become the emperor of the earth?"
"You have a beautiful thought... How can the Tu Emperor still have your share?" Li Yu said: "Don't think that I am the only blood relative of the Li family. There were seven vassal kings in my father's generation, and my cousins
, there are too many cousins to count, let alone feudal lords like Long Yingtian who occupy one side;
In other words, these vassals and princes were originally local emperors in their own fiefdoms. They did not stand up for themselves because of the restrictions on imperial power. Now that the emperors are dead, they will definitely expand their troops unscrupulously and proclaim themselves emperors."
"Does your father, Li Taichong, also have this plan?" Yan Yunting asked.
Li Yu said: "I tell you the truth, with my father's previous authority, even the emperor must be polite when he comes to Yongliang. The 200,000 forbidden troops in Chang'an are guarding against no one else but my father's Yongliang cavalry."
…If this plague hadn’t struck so suddenly, it’s hard to say whether the country would have changed hands;”
She added: "Also, don't think that Liu Jingchi is loyal. He has a lot of hatred for the Yan Dynasty."
"Oh? How come you can see that?" Yan Yunting was a little surprised.
Li Yu said: "In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Jingchi is a man of great military strength, guarding the borders, and overthrowing the Xia Dynasty... But in fact, he is a criminal who was exiled to Hanzhou. If it weren't for the trouble in Chang'an this time, he would never be qualified.
return to court;
In the past, Daxia and Dayan had a very bloody dynastic struggle. You know the ending. In the end, Daxia was annexed by Dayan. However, during this period, Daxia sued for peace from Dayan many times. The most important one was
It was the eldest princess Nalan Yuanhui who married Liu Jingchi, a high-spirited young general at that time;
But this is just a 'honey trap'. The real purpose of Nalan Yuanhui marrying Liu Jingchi is to obtain information. I guess Liu Jingchi is also a lover, addicted to the gentle country, so he leaked a lot of important information, so that the war started again.
Later, Dayan was almost counterattacked by Daxia;
Fortunately, Liu Jingchi discovered the clues in time, killed Nalan Yuanhui personally, and then went all out to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty. Of course, the process was not as easy as I said;
Although Liu Jingchi exterminated his relatives for justice, he caused great losses to the Yan Dynasty, so he was demoted to Hanzhou to guard the country. He was not allowed to set foot in the Central Plains for the rest of his life without being summoned by the emperor."
After Yan Yunting heard this, he didn't know how to express it for a long time. Ouyang Bingyan also married Wei Yingzhou for the sake of his country, but at most Wei Yingzhou could only kick her out, but Liu Jingchi killed his wife with his own hands... He is really a non-toxic husband!
Yan Yunting pursed her lips, "Nalan Yuanhui... this name... seems to have a lot to do with Nalan Yuan Shu."
"They are biological brothers and sisters." Li Yu said.
Nalan Yuanhui is the sister of Nalan Yuanshu, who is also the sister of Nalan Yuanxiu, and Liu Jingchi is the brother-in-law of Nalan Yuanshu and Nalan Yuanxiu...
Yan Yunting sighed: "This world is so small, everyone is crowded together."
Li Yu said: "It's not that this world is small, it's the criticism of the imperial family... My eldest brother's wives and concubines are all the daughters of important officials in the court, and my second brother's wives and concubines are all the daughters of Yongliang gentry. If I continue to be the princess of Xiliang
Growing up, it is estimated that before the age of eighteen, her father will marry a well-matched and powerful son for political purposes;
That’s why I often say that the most ruthless emperor’s family is that no one, no matter the man or woman, can help themselves.”
"At least you are not, neither you nor me."
