Tan Jizhi said with a smile, "Don't I have something to report to Prince Ding and Wang Fei? I happened to see the Prince and Wang Fei saying goodbye. This one did not want to disturb them and could only wait here. " Ye Li looked at the dirt on his dark blue robes and said faintly, "Thank you, Tan gongzi, for waiting so long."
"It really was a long wait." Tan Jizhi gritted his teeth. Seeing Ye Li sit down in front of him, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he said with a smile, "Prince Ding is really not worried about leaving Wang Fei alone in the north?" Ye Li's fingertips flashed with silver light. With a whoosh, it flew past Tan Jizhi's face and nailed to the tree behind him. Ignoring his teasing, Ye Li gave a faint smile and said, "Tan gongzi, do you want to try and see why Prince is not worried about leaving me alone?"
Tan Jizhi quickly shook his head. He had not missed Mo Xiuyao's words, "If there's anyone who doesn't know their place, kill them." He also believed that Ye Li would definitely be able to kill him. He quickly changed the topic and said seriously, "I have already contacted the Prime Minister in the north, and … … I mentioned a little about my and Ren Qi Ning's identities."
Ye Li looked at him, "Why would he believe that you are real and Ren Qi Ning is fake?" When Lin Yuan was born, the Lin Family had experienced a great change. Several family members had taken the young master of the Lin Family Lin Yuan and fled. Ren Qi Ning had only been found by the retainers of the Lin Family when she was almost ten years old.
Tan Jizhi shook his head and said, "He did not believe me and does not need to. The previous dynasty has been gone for more than two hundred years. Wang Fei, do you really think that it is important whether the orphan of the previous dynasty is real or fake? Those people just … … Some can't forget the glory of the previous dynasty and their family, and some have no way out. Even if they did not find Ren Qi Ning, there would still be Zhang Qi Ning and Li Qi Ning. They just need to believe that I can give them more than Ren Qi Ning can give them. "
"I'm afraid that will be somewhat difficult." Ye Li rubbed her forehead as she pondered. Even if Ren Qining was now in trouble, no matter how one looked at it, Ren Qining was still more successful than Tan Jizhi and could bring more benefits to others. After all, Ren Qining had the Northern Border Country, while Tan Jizhi had nothing. If they gave up on Ren Qining, it meant that those people would have to struggle for another few decades. Would they, who had already begun to enjoy life, be willing to do so?
Tan Jizhi said with a faint smile, "It's indeed very difficult. However, it wasn't impossible. These old officials of the previous dynasty also had conflicts with Ren Qining. These people wanted to chase the people from the Northern Region away as soon as possible, or kill them all. That way, they would be able to enjoy the fruits of their victory without having to share it equally with the Northerners. But Ren Qining was more likely to use the people of the Northern Region to fight for him. However, the people of the Northern Region were no fools. If he wanted the people of the Northern Region to continue working for him, he would not allow Queen Helan to give birth to an imperial heir and make him the Crown Prince. And it just so happened that those old antiques couldn't tolerate it. This time, Ren Qi Ning brought Queen He Lan and Imperial Concubine Yun back to the palace for less than two days before Imperial Concubine Yun miscarried. The Prime Minister's manor believed that it was done by the people of the Northern Region and wanted Ren Qining to severely punish Queen He Lan. However, Ren Qining was in a hurry to send troops to attack Zijing Pass and suppressed the matter. "
"What's the truth of the matter?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows and asked.
Tan Jizhi said, "It's possible that it really was done by the people of the Northern Region. After all, the people of the Northern Region would definitely not allow Sir Imperial Concubine Yun to give birth to a prince of the Central Plains. However … it's also possible that Imperial Concubine Yun was tired from the journey and really had an accidental miscarriage. However, who would care about this kind of thing? "The people of the Central Plains only wanted to use this matter to denounce the people of the Northern Region. Regardless of whether it was done by the people of the Northern Region or not, at least they were happy to see it. As for Ren Qining, he could only keep the peace for the time being.
"So, the Prime Minister is dissatisfied with Ren Qining?" Ye Li asked.
Tan Jizhi said with a smile, "It's nothing much. In the eyes of those people, the country has already been decided. As for who becomes the Emperor, it doesn't matter. As long as it can bring them more benefits, there's nothing wrong with replacing Ren Qining with Tan Jizhi. Even if they want to climb up and become the Emperor one day, I won't be surprised. "
"I'm very sorry, you won't be able to become the Emperor this time." Ye Li apologized sincerely.
Tan Jizhi pouted and said, "It's fine. I don't want to be the Emperor of the Northern Region, and I don't want to be a puppet either." He wanted to restore the country, but he didn't want to be a puppet that couldn't make any decisions on its own. Moreover, this puppet had the name of the barbarians attached to it.
Seeing that Ren Qining was a little disappointed, Ye Li asked with some curiosity, "Have you done anything that you wanted to do in your life?"
Tan Jizhi looked at her and said, "Yes, I've been doing it all this time."
The corner of Ye Li's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Are you talking about restoring the country?"
"What's wrong with that?" Tan Jizhi didn't think much of it. His biggest dream in this life was to restore the country. Hadn't he been doing it all this time? Although there hadn't been any results.
Ye Li shook her head and looked at him with a complicated expression. She said, "I can see that you really want to restore the country."
Tan Jizhi had interacted with Ye Li a few times, so he had some understanding of her. He asked, "Princess, you don't seem to agree." Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. I'm not a descendant of the Imperial Family, so I naturally don't understand that feeling. It's just that … if you want to drag the world into the flames of war for your family, is it really necessary? "
Tan Jizhi's face darkened and said, "What do you mean by is it necessary? This world originally belonged to my Lin Family! "
Ye Li said indifferently, "Before your Lin Family, this world was surnamed Xue. If you can directly kill the Emperor and change the dynasty, I wouldn't have any objections even if you change the Emperor every day. However, every time there's a change of dynasty, the ones who suffer the most are the ordinary people. They don't owe your Lin Family anything. On the contrary, it was your Lin Family's ancestors who were incompetent and dragged them into the flames of war. After that, the descendants of the Lin Family all worked hard to drag them into the flames of war again. "
Tan Jizhi was speechless. He didn't agree with Ye Li's words, but he faintly felt that what she said wasn't wrong. After a while, Tan Jizhi laughed coldly and said, "Princess's words are pleasant to hear. Then what are Princess and Prince Ding doing right now? Could it be that Princess wants to tell me that Prince Ding doesn't have the heart to fight for the world? Does Princess think that I won't believe it? " Mo Xiuyao's scheming was so deep that people couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seemed that he was being controlled everywhere and had no choice. However, in just a few short years, he had turned the Prince Ding Mansion from its years of depression and silence after the defeat into its current state, spanning the Da Chu State and Xiling State, and occupying the capitals of the two major countries at the same time. How could such a change not be frightening? Looking back now, one would find that many things were clearly planned by Mo Xiuyao in advance.
Ye Li said lightly, "So what if you believe it? So what if you don't believe it? Coincidentally, is the Prince Ding Mansion going to stick its neck out and stab it? Young Master Tan? The Lin Family's ancestors were just unwilling to admit their failure. As for you … it was just to fulfill your ambition. In fact, it has nothing to do with whether or not the country is restored. "
Tan Jizhi was speechless again. After a long silence, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Perhaps Princess is right. However, I've already walked on this path for more than thirty years. Even if I wanted to stop, I couldn't. "
Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "Just because you made a mistake in the beginning, you will continue to make the same mistake without hesitation? Then if there was a cliff in front of you, would Young Master Tan also jump down without blinking? "
Tan Jizhi smiled helplessly and said, "Perhaps."
