Ye Yuanqing said softly, "Shan Yu, our real enemy is not the royal family, but the mysterious Donghuang family."
"Did General Ye say that?" Shan Yu asked curiously. He had also heard of this mysterious family.
Ye Yuanqing nodded. "Yes, my big brother told me to be careful. Even if I become the emperor, I have to be careful of the Donghuang surname."
"Since Prince Ye said so, then we really have to pay attention. Now, we still have to seize the throne!" Shan Yu actually knew that the fight for the throne this time was not so simple.
Ye Yuanqing's advantage was in the army. He had his father's faction in the imperial court, and many people had yet to express their stance.
Some of them were even thinking about the royal family. If Lord Ye could come back at this time, then the royal family would not be so arrogant.
However, Shan Yu also knew that Lord Ye didn't come back because he wanted to train his sister.
There were some things that needed to be fought for by oneself. Only then would one know the hardships involved. However, he still hoped that Lord Ye would be there. That way, things would be much simpler.
After all, the royal family was still very afraid of Lord Ye. Although Ye Yuanqing was Lord Ye's sister, Lord Ye did not express his stance.
The royal family believed that Prince Ye had a laissez-faire attitude. Whoever had the ability would be the emperor.
This was indeed Ye Hua's attitude. Of course … if his little sister was to lose in the end, as the big brother, he would still have to save her. However, Ye Hua believed in Ye Yuanqing's strength.
"Tomorrow will be an important day." Ye Yuanqing said in a low voice and took a sip of tea. He felt that this was more tiring than being a general. Tomorrow would be the final decision, and he did not know how it would end.
Shan Yu said in a deep voice, "General Ye, the military power in your hands cannot be wasted."
"Shan Yu, the royal family also has military power."
"But the morale of the army is with you. As long as General Ye says a word, I believe all the generals will stand behind General Ye."
"I know, but this is no different from usurping the throne. After all, I am not a member of the royal family. If I want to be the emperor, I have to follow the hearts of the people. Recently, the emperor has done good deeds and gained a lot of fame. He even sent people to spread the news that I want to take the throne. The hearts of the people are about to collapse," Ye Yuanqing said in a low voice.
Shan Yu couldn't hold it in any longer and growled, "Ye Yuanqing! How did you become a general? He wasn't decisive in his killing! This is the imperial court, just like a battlefield. You've held back! The enemy will kill you! And you're the one who's going to be the Empress! There are some things that you have to make a choice. Put away your conscience! "
"No, if I put away my conscience, what's the difference between sitting on the throne and others? I want to benefit the Gods Realm, I don't want to play those tricks. If you want to fight, then fight fair and square! "
Shan Yu held onto his forehead. My god … How did you become a general? You have to act according to the situation, this is a struggle for political power, what you do on the battlefield is useless.
"Then you still have to sit on the throne. You can't even sit on the throne, so how can you talk about benefiting the Gods Realm?" Shan Yu tried his best to persuade Ye Yuanqing. If not, he wouldn't be in such a passive position. If Ye Yuanqing made a move, he would be able to counterattack. However, Ye Yuanqing wouldn't let him.
Shan Yu finally knew how troublesome this woman was, she was simply intoxicating …
If women were all so troublesome, he would rather not marry for the rest of his life.
"I won't forget my original intentions. If worse comes to worst, I'll just get scolded by Big Brother."
"Ye Yuanqing! Do you think that it's just scolding? You are fighting with Huang Min, if Huang Min has the authority of the emperor, do you think that Ye Family can still be saved? Can you not be childish! " Shan Yu couldn't help but roar. This woman is simply stupid to the extreme, father actually asked me to come and assist him, I'm going to be angered to death at any moment.
Ye Yuanqing looked towards Shan Yu. Although the latter's strength wasn't strong, he still glared back at Shan Yu.
"I have already made up my mind, let's meet during the morning court session tomorrow, I'm going to rest." After speaking, Ye Yuanqing returned to his room, leaving behind Shan Yu who was standing at the same spot in a daze. If I don't move my troops, I will definitely lose tomorrow …
However, Ye Yuanqing also knew about this point, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult, to the point that even if he wanted to change his original intentions, he wouldn't be able to do it …
During the one month that he came back, Ye Yuanqing was both mentally and physically exhausted. Sometimes, he really didn't want to be an emperor anymore.
Especially when he heard the slander that the people had towards him, he felt very sad.
In the end, Ye Yuanqing was only a general. Being an emperor and being a general were two different things. A good general might not be a good emperor.
Shan Yu had no choice but to leave. I have to go back and talk to my father about this matter, and whether or not I should support the royal family during the morning court session tomorrow. If not, Shan Family is going to perish!
Accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. Back then, if Shan Yu were to stand on Ye Yuanqing's side, it would mean that he was standing on the opposite side of the royal family.
If Shan Yu were to lose, would the new emperor, Huang Min, be able to forgive Shan Yu? That is impossible … All of Ye Family's factions are going to die!
Shan Yu can't let Shan Family take the risk.
Therefore, when Shan Yu returned home, he immediately went to look for his father.
Shan Junren's left hand was holding onto a book, and his right hand was holding onto a teacup. From time to time, he would take a sip of the tea, appearing to be very leisurely and not worried in the slightest.
"Father, why do you still have the mood to drink tea and read a book, our family is going to perish soon." Shan Yu shouted out anxiously. Why don't you think of a way to escape from this calamity?
Shan Junren took a look at his son and said lightly, "How many times have I taught you, even if the sky were to collapse, you still have to maintain a calm heart, only then would you be able to judge the problem rationally."
"Father, are you saying that I have lost my rationality? I haven't, I am very rational right now. "
"Being so impatient, it will be hard for you to achieve great things." Shan Junren took a glare at his son. Looking at how anxious Shan Yu was, sweat was already coming out from his forehead.
Shan Yu was very unconvinced, "Father, Ye Yuanqing doesn't even have the intention to counterattack at all, he is being so passive, causing us to lose such a good situation. Right now, that Huang Min already has a 70-80% chance of winning, if we were to lose, the crime of our family being exterminated, father …"
"That is indeed the case." Shan Junren nodded his head, he was still very calm.
Shan Yu didn't understand, "Father? Exterminate the family? We are not exterminating the insects. "
"Father knows."
"Then why isn't father making any plans?" Shan Yu found it hard to believe. In the past, father always had a strategic plan, but now, it seems like … father has already given up on resisting.
Shan Junren placed down the book in his hand and asked his son, "Shan Yu, what do you want father to do? Tell me about it. "
"Father, there are only two ways that we can do right now. The first way is to ignore Ye Yuanqing, we will counterattack ourselves, fight for an opportunity, and fight to the death! "
"The second way …"
Before Shan Yu could finish speaking, Shan Junren said lightly, "Is it to rely on the royal family's side and fight for an opportunity to survive?"
Shan Yu took a deep breath, then nodded his head, "Yes."
"Then, have you thought about what to do after you rely on the royal family?"
"Live."
