At this time, a very clear voice sounded next to him: "You can't say that." ”

Everyone turned their heads again and saw that it was a white and pure young man, about twenty years old, gorgeously dressed and decent, speaking in a gentle tone, very handsome in appearance, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes.

I immediately recognized that it was the youngest son of the fourth uncle, my cousin Yan Feibai.

He is the only son of the fourth uncle, the old man, I heard that he is particularly favored, although he is my elder in terms of generation, he is actually younger than me, just because the older generation separated very early, and I left Xichuan earlier, so I don't have much contact with him.

At first glance, he has grown into a handsome young man.

He sat there very calmly, holding the armrest with both hands, and said slowly: "If you are foolish, this is not unreasonable. If the Yan family really wants to participate in the war and contribute money and troops to the end?"

“……”

"In my opinion, the best result is to defeat, support the new emperor, and get a feudal position. ”

"No, it's over, it's over?"

Yan Zicong immediately interrupted him, and deliberately said the first two words extremely harshly, and then looked at Yan Feibai with a smile: "The tone of your words is too big." ”

"Oh?"

"War, isn't it just two outcomes, one victorious and the other defeated. How is it that in your mouth, victory and defeat are not much different?"

Yan Feibai smiled faintly: "Zicong Virtuous Nephew, in my opinion, the victory of this matter is nothing more than that. ”

Yan Zicong's face suddenly froze. Obviously, he is very different from this "cousin", but in fact, he just treats Yan Feibai as a young man who is similar to himself, or even inferior to himself, but the title of "virtuous nephew" on the other party is enough to suppress him.

However, he can't refute it yet.

Yan Feibai said with a smile: "Victory, support the new emperor, and get the position of marquis, this looks very beautiful, but, is this different from the current situation of our Yan family?"

As soon as he said this, the people around him were stunned.

Immediately, someone's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Indeed, now the Yan family lives in Xichuan, although it is nominally just an ordinary big family, but in fact it is the uncrowned king of Xichuan, and even the money and taxes are all independent, which is more free and has more power than the princes in any place in the outside world.

Therefore, the position of the marquis that Yan Feibai mentioned is indeed - but that's it.

Suddenly, the faces of some people around him became subtle, and they nodded in agreement, but Yan Ruoyu raised his head cautiously and smiled at Yan Feibai to express his gratitude.

Yan Feibai only nodded, then looked around with a smile, everyone was talking one after another, and many people nodded lightly to agree with his opinion.

Yan Zicong obviously didn't think of this, and he froze there for a while, speechless.

Indeed, looking at this matter from the simplest point of view, that is, the Yan family contributed money and troops, but in the end, what was exchanged was just the same as now, or rather, it was even worse than the current situation.

And Yan Feibai probably still thought about Xue Qian and Yan Gang's face, so he didn't finish the rest of the words.

If he were to go on to say it, it would be defeated.

I'm afraid this is a fact that everyone is not very easy to accept.

Just when everyone was talking to each other, and Xue Qian's faces were a little ugly, a voice sounded next to him: "Ordinary people only pay money all day long, do you only have money, status, power, and interests in your mind?"

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

It was a young man sitting on the other side, slightly chubby, sitting in a chair that looked extraordinarily rich. His skin is also very white, and he seems to have inherited the characteristics of the Yan family, but because of his slight fatness, his facial features are not so obvious, and his eyes are slightly squinted, giving people the illusion that he can't distinguish his appearance.

This person should be Yan Yong, the eldest grandson of the second uncle.

He said with a straight face: "The eldest aunt has made it very clear just now, the Pei family has no way, and we want to overthrow him, not for any interests, what kind of feudal position!"

As soon as she heard this, Xue Qian immediately said, "That's right!"

Yan Zicong also hurriedly agreed: "That's right, it's because Pei's no way that we have to do the right thing for the sky!"

Yan Feibai smiled slightly, raised his hand and hooked his eyebrows with the little finger of his right hand, and then said, "For about all these years, I have only cared about doing business, and I don't care much about outside affairs. Everyone gritted their teeth when they mentioned 'Pei's Wudao', what kind of big things did he do? Can you tell me about it?"

When Yan Zicong heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, straightened his waist by holding the armrest of the chair, and said, "Do you need to talk about this?"

Yan Feibai smiled: "Of course." Didn't you just say that today I am here to discuss important matters. How can you not make it clear about such an important matter?"

"That's good!" Yan Zicong immediately said, "Let's talk about what Pei Shi did!"

"Please. ”

"Imprisoned father, forbidden mother, forced brother, killed brother, messed up the palace with swords, shocked the dynasty with cool officials, used relatives indiscriminately, and brutalized Zhongliang!"

This paragraph is not unfamiliar, when it came out of Yan Zicong's mouth, my heart couldn't help but sink - this is exactly the eight major crimes listed by Jiangnan students for Pei Yuanhao, I used to see it clearly on the fold of his imperial study, and even he himself joked that these crimes made him unable to cry out for injustice; I also remember that when the student of Xishan Academy gave a lecture in the Pinxiang Academy, he also used these eight charges to attack him.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Yan Zicong still remembers.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, all the people around them were amazed, and Yan Feibai also raised his eyebrows: "It's appalling." ”

Xue Qian immediately said: "Which of these crimes is not exterminating humanity and perverse acts, isn't such a person a king of no way?!"

“……”

"Do we still want to watch him sit on the dragon chair and ruin the lives of the people?!"

In this way, some people next to him immediately nodded their heads and whispered, saying things like "indeed".

I frowned, and I gradually lost my breath.

In fact, from the time when the Yan family's meeting had not even begun, I had already expected that they would definitely use Pei Yuanhao's 'Wudao' as an excuse to attack, and instigate everyone to agree to Xichuan sending troops, and Pei Yuanhao's actions, whether good or bad, as long as he was in that position, there were too many places to attack.

After all, it's good not to do it.

At this moment, a somewhat old voice said: "These words are all scholars' opinions, whether they are true or false, those of us who are thousands of miles away from the imperial city may not really know the truth." ”

Looking back, it was Old Man Ma.

He sat behind us and slowly opened his mouth.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xue Qian immediately tightened his brows.

Obviously, Xue Qian was very scruples about him, after all, he was a respected old man of the Yan family, and in terms of seniority, Xue Qian, even as a big lady, did not dare to be reckless in front of him, so he did not immediately open his mouth to refute for a while.

But she immediately looked up at Yan Gang.

Yan Gang obviously had a headache with the old man Ma, but at this moment only he could speak, so he coughed lightly, and without looking at the old man Ma, he said directly: "Although we are far away from the capital, the person who said these words is not far from the capital." These are all said by the students in Jiangnan, but they are really oppressed by the people of the imperial court, otherwise, they would not have said such things!"

“……”

"Isn't this evidence of Pei's unreasonableness?"

This time, everyone's discussion was louder and more intense.

Just when some people were already indignant, I grabbed the handrail with a slight force and said, "Guys, I have something to say. ”

Suddenly, all the voices fell silent.

Everyone around me turned their heads to look at me, wondering if it was because the sun was so hot outside, and even though there was a thin veil over my head, I could still feel a wave of heat coming. But at this moment, I felt that the sweat of my whole body was sucked back, and there was a beating and restless heat in my body, so I took a deep breath and said: "Last night I couldn't sleep, so I heard a story told by someone, and after listening to it, I found that there are many things in this world, which are spread falsely, and in the end, the owner of this story himself cannot understand this story." ”

“……”

"Just think about what I just said, there are a lot of false parts, and they are indeed too far from the truth. ”

“……”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all of them look at me in amazement.

"That's right, it's the most terrible thing to spread falsehoods," followed by my words, Yan Ruoyu whispered: "Cousin is--someone who has been in the palace before, you should know the truth of these things best, you can tell us about it." ”

I was about to speak, but Yan Ruoyu's words just gave me a step, I nodded, and just as I was about to speak, I heard Xue Qian snort coldly: "She, what she did in the palace, do you have the face to say it here?"

“……”

My face sank slightly, and I turned my head to look at her, but I didn't get angry, but said calmly: "Big lady, what I want to say is what I just discussed, Pei's 'no way' theory, does it have anything to do with what I did in the palace?"

"You-"

She was choked by me, and I didn't look at her anymore, turned her head to the people sitting in a circle around her, and said solemnly: "What Zicong said just now, Pei's eight major sins, in fact, I have been watching these things when I was in the palace, now, I might as well tell you." ”
