After talking about Yelvertu's medical records and prescriptions, Shen Cha repeated to the three of them what the Third Master said about the Crown Prince.
"That's all I can ask and what my uncle knows." After saying that, she spread her hands and said, "There won't be any more."
"That's enough, thank you." Yerunan cupped his fists towards Shen Cha, lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned to look at Mr. Qi, "Uncle Qi, do you think Uncle Wang's words are too watery?"
"It's not that I'm speaking too arrogantly, it's that this matter was done with too much care and there were too many traces of calculation." Mr. Qi stroked his beard, "For such a big matter as establishing the crown prince, even if the king consults the elders, it is the highest priority among the clan members. Although the powerful elders and the Third Grand Master are also in power, they deal with matters within the clan and deal more with the idle clan members on a daily basis. They never ask about court affairs. The king asked them about court affairs. Isn't this nonsense? What’s more, establishing an heir is a top priority, not just for the Yelu family, but also for the entire Liao Kingdom. It can’t be messed up casually. Even if you need to ask for opinions, it should be the opinions of important ministers!”
"Uncle Qi is right. To be honest, the opinions given by the elders and the idea they gave Uncle Wang..." Yerunan shook his head, "With all due respect, I completely disagree."
"It doesn't matter who you ask. I have a very strange feeling. Do you think that the king is very happy to see the elders coming up with such an idea? It's convenient for him to get off the horse. He himself is not opposed to the prince. He was very enthusiastic. The opinions of the elders played into his heart and gave him a good excuse. Once we can't hold it any longer in the future, we go to him and ask what's going on, and he can tell us that it is a bait or something. of."
"My Uncle Wang is getting older and his mind is no longer clear. If it had been ten years... oh, no, five years ago, he would never have made such a childish decision. Such a trick to coax a child. , it is still feasible to deceive a three-year-old child.”
"What I'm saying is that whether or not a heir is established, those with evil intentions will still covet that position." Yerunan and Lord Qi sighed at the same time, and both turned their gazes to Shen Cha, who was drinking tea calmly, "Shen Cha General, if you have any opinions, you might as well tell me."
"What do you think?" Shen Cha put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head gently, "I'm just a messenger. I don't have any opinions or anything to say. However, I do have something to say to you two."
"What words?"
"The King of Liao's thoughts are actually not that important."
"..." Yerunan raised his eyebrows and showed a sarcastic smile, "The authorities are obsessed with it, but the onlookers know clearly. What the general said is reasonable. Those of us in the game were so stunned that we almost forgot how his thoughts affected our plans. It doesn't have any influence. Whether he wants to establish the heir apparent or not is completely different. As long as A-Lan doesn't regret it, the outcome of this game will not change."
"Mr. Nan, do you think there is a possibility that Mr. Lan will regret it?"
"Definitely not. I still have this confidence." Yerunan said firmly, "Only by sitting in that position can I avenge my mother and realize my ambition."
"Having said that, this road is still difficult to walk." Mr. Qi picked up the tea cup and took a few sips. "Even though you guys are prosperous in the court, you have no real power, let alone Therefore, the most important thing for you right now is to build up your own strength as soon as possible, especially military power. Having this is more important than anything else." He looked at Shen Cha, "What do you think, General Shen?"
"That's what I said." Shen Cha agreed with Mr. Qi's statement, "If you don't want to talk about anything else, let's talk about the case of the Jin and the Japanese. Wanyanping was so arrogant before. At that time, she was bold and unafraid. Others are causing trouble for her. What about now? The Japanese confessed that she was the mastermind behind the scenes, but she denied it. She would rather sacrifice the lives of more than a hundred members of the Jin Kingdom envoy to save herself. What do you think is the reason? ?”
"The Kingdom of Jin is in chaos and falling apart. She can no longer make foreign enemies." Yerunan stood up and refilled tea for Master Qi and Shen Cha. "The troops in her hands are not enough to allow her to fight against the surrounding countries. Even if the three parties temporarily compromise, It may be difficult to preserve the unity of the outside world. This time, not only Wanyanping gave in, but the other two also gave in. Otherwise, it would be a disaster of annihilation." He smiled at Shen Cha, "What does the general mean? , I understand that it doesn’t matter what we want now, so naturally we are not qualified to negotiate terms with Uncle Wang.”
Shen Cha didn't say anything, but gave Yerunan a thumbs up.
"According to what you said, five years is barely enough. Who knows how long this battle in the Kingdom of Jin will last!" Mr. Qi thought for a while, "As for Linhuang Mansion, you don't have to worry. We have a few With the old guy here, nothing will go wrong. As for you, you should go to Qilin Pass. It is necessary to make achievements on the battlefield. Without military achievements, the tribal leaders will not be convinced. But don't just fight. You must also go to Qilin Pass. We have all the border gates in our hands. By the time the palace finds out, it will be too late. By that time, naturally we will get whatever we say."
Regarding Master Qi's words, the three people nodded tacitly, expressing their strong agreement.
The four of them chatted for a while. Shen Cha felt that time was almost up and stood up to leave.
"Master Qi, stay here!" Standing at the door of the main hall, she smiled at Master Qi, "Please, sir, say goodbye to Madam for me and thank her for her hospitality."
"Hey, speaking of it, we didn't entertain you well, so we have nothing to thank you for." Mr. Qi waved his hand, "Anan and Afeng will see off General Shen for me!"
The three of them walked out of the house side by side. Shen Cha coughed twice and glanced at Yerunan.
"General, please tell me something."
"Mr. Nan, you mentioned last time that Wanyanxi's eldest brother was plotted by Wanyanping, right?"
"It was only later that I learned about the general situation. I had no idea what was going on specifically." Yerunan stopped and said softly, "I said before that Wanyanxi's brother once had an old relationship. This I told Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping about the news. At that time, I thought that the family of a prince's sweetheart should belong to the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin. Since the two people have gone their separate ways, there can be no intersection, nor can they have any intersection. Maybe I'm on Wanyanxi's brother's side, so what I suggested was to fight for it. But I didn't expect..." He shrugged at Shen Cha, "I'm very sorry and guilty, I..."
"I understand what you mean. Mr. Nan just gave you a piece of news, but this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I'm not defending myself, but it's true. Later I asked Wanyanping if she had reached an agreement with this family. She told me that she didn't want to use this method to threaten others. After listening to her words, I still I feel that this is a stupid boy. He should do whatever it takes to get the throne. Such indecisiveness will not achieve great things. As a result, just over a month after our conversation, there was news in Yiqing Mansion that the eldest prince colluded with Xia Until now, I didn’t know that the father and daughter...especially this Wanyanping had done such an earth-shattering thing behind my back." Yerunan smiled bitterly, "Everyone thinks that Behind Wanyan Zongcheng's throne, I, as a counselor, played a great role. In fact, it was his good daughter who really decided the situation. That is the true unscrupulousness!" He looked at Shen Cha, "The general brought up this old matter because he wanted to To exonerate that lady?"
Shen Cha didn't answer, he just cupped his fists towards Yerunan and Qi Zhifeng, and left Qi Mansion with Mei Zhu.
"Anan!" Qi Zhifeng held Yerunan's shoulders and looked at Shen Cha's leaving figure, "Sister Xiaocha, what do you mean?"
"It means... Wanyanping is dead, and your little tea sister will not let her go!" Yerunan sighed heavily, "This is karma. If Wanyanping hadn't been so ruthless, maybe She can still have a glimmer of hope for herself, but now she can only pray that Shen Jiajun will show mercy and let her die a happier death!"
