previous life,

Han Lin reigned for ten years.

I don’t know how many loyal people were killed.

This also led to the decline of talents in Qi after Ye Qingqiu came to power.

There are not many people who can take the lead.

so now,

Ye Qingqiu was already making plans in his heart.

How to push this foolish king down as soon as possible and save the lives of those loyal and good people.

Just in time to figure it out,

There were some noises outside the hospital.

Ye Qingqiu walked out of the room and saw that his father had returned without knowing when, standing alone in the courtyard with a sad face.

"Father."

Ye Qingqiu bit his lips tightly.

That familiar figure made her eyes moisten slightly.

After being away for more than ten years, I never thought that one day, my father would appear in front of me again.

"Father, did you just go to court?"

Ye Qingqiu walked over and asked.

Ye Jinglong nodded and sighed again before he managed to say one word: "Yes."

Seeing this look,

Ye Qingqiu already knew what happened in the court hall.

But she still asked: "Father, is the envoy from Yan State here today?"

"I came here for peace talks with the purpose of ceding Changlin Pass, but that foolish king agreed to this because of a woman?"

Just started,

Ye Jinglong was a little surprised when he heard that his daughter actually knew about the arrival of the Yan State envoy.

But when he heard that his daughter actually said the word "faint king" without hesitation, his expression changed drastically.

Ye Jinglong shouted loudly: "Shut up! Your Majesty naturally has his own considerations when doing this. How can you say such rebellious words?"

Seeing my father’s reaction,

Ye Qingqiu said sadly: "Father, that foolish king ceded Changlin Pass to Yan State for a mere woman. What is this but a foolish king? What's wrong with me saying that!"

"you you......!!"

Ye Jinglong was trembling with anger.

Pointing at her daughter, she couldn't say a word for a long time.

He never expected that,

My daughter would be so bold.

It's simply treasonous.

If these words were heard by others, they would reach the ears of the emperor.

At that time, it will not be as simple as dismissal from office.

The entire Ye family will be buried with him.

Ye Qingqiu looked around and saw that there was no one else.

She came slightly closer to Ye Jinglong and said solemnly: "Father, listen to me."

"I know it may be treasonous to say this, but you also saw what happened in the court today."

"How ridiculous is our new emperor of Qi to do such a thing because of a woman."

"And it's not like you don't know his character. When he was the prince, he was uneducated and bullied men and women. He was also moody and would beat, scold or even kill the attendants around him."

"After such a person becomes emperor, his behavior will only become worse."

"By then, the entire Qi State will be devastated by him, so I think while you still have influence, we might as well recruit troops..."

"Shut up!!!"

Ye Jinglong suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Ye Qingqiu.

He never expected that his daughter could say such a thing.

Forget it if you criticize the emperor privately.

Now he actually wants to recruit troops.

This is a serious crime of rebellion, and it is to punish the nine clans.

How dare you say such a thing.

"Lawless!"

"Your Majesty naturally has His Majesty's considerations in doing this. How could you say such treasonous words?"

Ye Jinglong's face was full of wrinkles, and his facial features were almost twisted together in anger.

Not only was he angry because of Ye Qingqiu's words, but he was also afraid.

No matter which dynasty,

Rebellion is a major crime against the Nine Clans.

The kind of sin that cannot be forgiven.

Even if the death-free gold medal comes, it won’t work.

Moreover, the Qi Dynasty has been standing on this land for more than 600 years.

Wherever you say you can overturn it, you can overturn it.

In the past, Qi State had never had unpopular and dim-witted tyrants.

There are also many rebels who want to overthrow Qi.

But in the end, it is not just bones buried in the soil.

Ye Qingqiu gritted his teeth and wanted to persuade him one last time.

Without Ye Jinglong's help, she would not be able to start an incident on her own.

After all, she is only an eighteen-year-old girl now.

Rather than the empress of Da Qi in later generations.

She must rely on her father's prestige and family wealth to make arrangements in advance.

If not,

I'm afraid we really have to wait ten years for something to happen to Qi.

But in this case,

The wheel of history will still return to the track of the previous life.

Time was running out, and Ye Qingqiu didn't just want to become the empress of Qi.

Instead, he wanted to lead the Qi State to compete with powerful countries such as Qin and Chu for the throne of hegemony, and restore the glory of Emperor Huan of Qi.

"Father, I know that saying this would seem rebellious."

"But you should have heard that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

"You have also seen what our new king is like, and his level of stupidity is far beyond your imagination."

"He is ignorant, dissolute and immoral, loves great achievements, and is cruel and unkind. For his own enjoyment, he is willing to give up anything, including Changlin Pass, the barrier of Qi State."

"Believe me, he is definitely the kind of incurable fool. Sooner or later, people like this will betray their relatives and leave their families. I know that if I say this now, you think I am deliberately slandering him. Why don't we make a bet now."

"One year!"

"In a year's time, you can see what he has done, and if it is what I say it is, I hope you can support me."

Ye Qingqiu's expression was solemn and his voice was full of determination.

The unfamiliar look made Ye Jinglong unable to believe that this was his daughter.

When Ye Jinglong was stunned,

Ye Qingqiu continued: "Father, I know you hope that I can marry other famous families."

"In this year, if it is true as I said, I hope you can support me. If I am wrong, I will obey your arrangements and stay at home to raise my husband and children."

Ye Jinglong didn't answer immediately.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the sky, recalling the scenes from today's morning court in his mind.

Especially what Han Lin did.

For a woman,

The important towns of the empire and the natural dangers of Qi State were ceded to Yan State.

This kind of behavior is no longer enough to be described by the word "faint king".

After Emperor Huan of Qi, there were occasional wise kings in Qi.

But the one closest to you,

It has been more than eighty years since now.

During these eighty years, all the kings of Qi were mediocre and incompetent.

Thinking about what my daughter just said.

perhaps......

Qi's national destiny has indeed come to an end.

But I think that my whole life has been spent on the cause of revitalizing Qi.

Ye Jinglong also felt a little unwilling.

Thinking of this,

Ye Jinglong turned his eyes to his daughter and said in a calm voice: "I'll pretend I haven't heard what you said today. We'll talk about it in a year."

After all,

Ye Jinglong dragged his old body and slowly walked into the house.
