Chapter 298: God Disposes
Yan Li was not restrained and nodded slowly: "I do have this idea."
Emperor Wen laughed again when he heard it: "You really don't want to hide it at all?"
"There is nothing to hide." Yan Li said lightly, "Everyone knows what they want, and then they can work hard for their goals. People who have ambitions but deny it strongly are not because they really don't want to, but they dare not say it."
"You are worthy of being the daughter of the queen." Emperor Wen nodded in agreement, "It is a simple thing to be honest with what you want in your heart, but such a simple thing, many people can't do it."
Yan Li "Because speaking it out means treason. Many people have treasonous thoughts, but not the courage to do it."
Emperor Wen raised his eyebrows: "Then you have both treasonous thoughts and the courage to do it?"
Yan Li nodded calmly: "Indeed."
Emperor Wen couldn't help laughing again: "Li'er, you are much cuter than those who appear to be upright and righteous but are actually sinister and dirty. I like your temperament very much."
At least he won't appear to be friendly and respectful to his brother, but secretly stab him in the heart. He is so cruel that he makes people feel scared.
"Your Majesty, did you think of the past?" Yan Li asked calmly, obviously hearing the meaning of his words, "In fact, the royal family's struggle for power and profit is always deceitful. It's nothing if you look at it more openly."
Look at it more openly?
If he could look at it more openly, why would he have been brooding over it for so many years?
Thinking of the past, Emperor Wen felt a trace of sadness in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at Yan Li: "If you are in power, will you kill your blood relatives?"
"I will only kill those who should be killed." Yan Li said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether he is a blood relative or a stranger."
"Who are the people who should be killed?"
"For example, the Kang family." Yan Li's voice was a little colder, "They colluded with local officials and businessmen, oppressed the people, acted tyrannically, bullied men and women, and disregarded the law. Such people deserve to be cut into pieces."
Emperor Wen shook his head slowly: "The Kang family is not considered to be extremely evil."
Yan Li frowned: "Your Majesty, do you think the Kang family is not extremely evil?"
"No." Emperor Wen's eyebrows were gloomy, "There is another family in Jin that is more brutal, greedy, arrogant, and powerful than the Kang family. If you can deal with them, you will sit on the throne very securely." ŴŴŴ.
Yan Li frowned slightly, thinking about which family he was talking about.
"Yan Zheng, Yan Chen, Yan Jin and Yan Yun are my sons. They also suffered in the past. If possible, I hope they can live to the end of their lives, even if they are not so rich and glorious, as long as they are safe." Emperor Wen sighed, "But if one day, you really think they deserve to die, it doesn't matter if you kill them, just don't implicate too many people."
Yan Li didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, as if he understood the unknown loneliness and anxiety in his heart.
Perhaps the incident in the Prince's Mansion really left him with too many indelible scars, so that he became a frightened bird, afraid of handing over the throne to a bloodthirsty person, afraid of a foolish and incompetent person sitting on the throne, afraid of bringing disaster to Jin, afraid of corpses everywhere caused by treason, afraid of brothers and sisters killing each other, afraid of blood flowing into rivers...
Many, many things have taken root in his heart and will never be forgotten.
For the first time, Yan Li truly felt the pain and anxiety in a man's heart, so clearly and deeply.
After a long silence, she nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best to fulfill your wish."
Emperor Wen was silent for a moment and asked: "You don't call me father, is it because you resent me?"
Yan Li shook her head slowly: "No."
"Why is that?"
"Because I'm not familiar with you yet." Yan Li told the truth, "I can't call you."
Somehow, after hearing this answer, Emperor Wen was not angry, but the smile on his face became more real: "I have never seen someone as honest as you."
"I can imagine." Yan Li nodded, "Because there are not many people in the world who dare to show their true side in front of the emperor."
Emperor Wen laughed: "That makes sense."
Although it was the first time for them to meet, they didn't seem to be unfamiliar at all. The conversation was pleasant, and Emperor Wen was in a much better mood.
But he was weak after all, and he felt a little tired after chatting for a while.
Yan Li didn't stay in Ganyu Palace for too long. After telling him to have a good rest, he got up and left.
Before leaving, he took the bowl he drank medicine from.
"She had a pleasant chat with the emperor?" Defei leaned on the beauty couch, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were thoughtful, "What did they talk about?"
The palace maid shook her head gently.
Defei's mouth curled slightly, and she smiled playfully: "The emperor seems to be very fond of this daughter."
"My queen, the princess took the bowl away."
"Just take it away." Defei's tone was light, and she didn't seem to care. "If she wants to check, let her check. No matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with me."
"Yes."
Defei lowered her eyes, slowly scraped the foam with the tea lid, and a deep smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Maybe she can help me get rid of a strong enemy."
The emperor's dragon body was not well, and he had been taking medicine for a long time but there was no improvement. Many people had doubts in their hearts.
In the past, some people in the palace suspected that it was the queen who did it, but after the emperor heard it, he directly dealt with the palace maids who gossiped about it. Since then, no one dared to speak nonsense.
As the longest serving concubine in the palace, Defei had doubts in her heart. Although she was severely reprimanded by the emperor every time she hinted at something, she knew very well that the emperor must have doubted the queen in his heart.
But the contradiction was that even if the emperor suspected that the queen had poisoned her, he was willing to do so.
Defei sneered, he was really a seed of infatuation.
He was willing to be calculated by others, and he helped her to secure the position of regent queen without regrets. I really don’t know whether to say he was stupid or foolish.
Defei lowered her head and sipped her tea.
As long as it was found that it was the queen who did it, the civil and military officials in the court would definitely not give up. The four princes have come of age and it is time to fight for power.
Recently, there has been a lot of dissatisfaction because of the Yan Li incident.
Let’s see if the queen can still keep her and Yan Li’s status and glory after the incident is exposed.
Defei smiled and let Yan Zheng and the queen fight first. It would be better if they both died and both suffered losses.
She and Yun’er could reap the benefits at that time.
However, man's plans are not as good as God's.
Just when Concubine De thought she was extremely smart, something shocking happened in the previous dynasty.
The next morning, the emperor and the empress attended the court together.
After the ministers shouted "Long live the emperor" three times, they stood on the left and right according to their status.
The eunuch accompanying the emperor did not announce "If there is something, report it early, if there is nothing, leave the court", as usual, but stood quietly beside the emperor, with his eyebrows lowered in silence.
"Today I have something to discuss with you, my dear ministers." Emperor Wen spoke, his voice was a little weak, but he did not hide the majesty of the emperor, "I have four sons, now they are all adults, it is not appropriate for them to continue living in the palace."
As soon as the voice fell, the civil and military officials in the court were immediately shocked.
Yan Zheng, Yan Chen, Yan Jin and Yan Yun were awed, unconsciously clenched their hands, and cold sweat oozed from their palms.
Is the father planning to make a king and a crown prince?
The four princes have all reached the age to leave the palace and set up their own residences, but since they cannot be made crown princes after being crowned kings, this matter has always been handled with great caution, so that the four princes have no titles, no fiefs, and no residences.
The emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and it is urgent to establish a crown prince. If a crown prince can be established today, it will also be a relief for the ministers.
