Chapter 236: The Largest Landlord in Northern Qi

"Then get involved!" He always followed her thoughts, "Anyway, you can live this day however you want, and the deity is with you." As for whether the six highnesses are true or false...... Ah Yan, it doesn't matter if it's true or false, but a prince, since you have the heart to protect Quan Qingcheng, can you still let him really take the throne? Just watch it as a joke. ”

Ye Wenyan didn't have as much confidence as him, "How do you know that I won't let him really take the throne?" Where did I get that much ability? ”

"Yes." Shi Liyuan nodded, "I don't have much ability, at most I just tampered with the edict of the first emperor." ”

She laughed like a little fool, "I can't hide anything from you, do you have a pair of eyes on me?" ”

He shook his head, "No, I just know that the first emperor liked his son-in-law, and I also know that what was written on the edict was a successor." And to be able to make the edict change in front of everyone's eyes, those who have this ability, in addition to the deity, there is only one you in this world. ”

Ye Wenyan was not very happy when he heard this, "Do you say that the first emperor of Northern Qi was blind?" What's so good about his sister-in-law? ”

Shi Liyuan said that he didn't know, "Maybe you should ask yourself, you have also liked him for many years, what do you say is good about him?" ”

She immediately declared: "It's not me who has liked him for many years, it's the original Miss Yesi, but I didn't take a fancy to him at a glance." I'm a man with a very high eye, so I'm just looking at you. ”

Someone looked arrogant, "That is, looking at the world, who can compare to the deity?" ”

She laughed, "You're almost done, saying you're fat and you're still panting, don't be so narcissistic." ”

He is serious, "The deity never speaks, and what he says is the truth." ”

"Yes, it's true." She also had to admit, "It's true that I picked up a big bargain." But it's not too cheap, after all, I got it for several cuts, and the price is very heavy. So Shi Liyuan, you have to protect me well in the future, my heart is in trouble, maybe it will hurt when it hurts, you must be responsible for me. ”

He took the person into his arms again, "Don't worry, the deity will be responsible." ”

She smiled beautifully, and when she had laughed enough, she returned to the previous topic: "Let's also talk about the first emperor, why do you think that the old emperor thinks it is better to hand over the world to his son-in-law?" ”

Shi Liyuan said: "Maybe he doesn't think it's better to hand over the world to his son-in-law, he just doesn't have a choice." There is Empress Dowager Li by his side, and there is a regent in the court, although he is the emperor, but in the next few years, the imperial power was dismantled, and there are few things that he can really do. Coupled with the fact that the Ye family army was in power, he knew in his heart that even if the old general and the great general were gone, it would be impossible for those Ye family troops to be recovered by others in a short period of time. So the night family was his biggest reliance, even his only reliance. It's a pity that this dependence has also become the biggest obstacle for him to pass on the throne to other princes with the marriage contract that the old general asked for for Miss Yesi. So he had to choose his son-in-law, otherwise no matter who he passed it on, the world would be in chaos, and the Empress Dowager Li and the regent of the Sixth Highness would definitely rebel. At that time, the people will not be able to make a living, and their lives will be miserable. ”

Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this, "I always thought that Old General Ye was not a person who was so confused that he only loved his granddaughter blindly, and the reason why he was able to ask for that marriage on behalf of Miss Ye Si must also be due to his considerations." Of course, I have never figured out what he thinks, because the six highnesses are not an ideal heir to the throne in any way. Then why did the old general still go to this troubled water? The first emperor has relied on the Ye family for many years, isn't it very chilling? Seeing that the Ye family was also moving closer to His Royal Highness the Sixth, he still had to agree, how uncomfortable was his heart? ”

Shi Liyuan nodded, "It's quite uncomfortable, but he can't change it, and the old general doesn't want to change it." Ye Zhenwei is indeed not a fool, a thousand-year-old fox, how can he not understand the twists and turns in this, how can he not understand that once the marriage contract is completed, the Ye family is equivalent to standing on the side of the Empress Dowager Li and His Royal Highness the Sixth. And the reason why he still did this was because of a private matter, because he didn't like the son of the first emperor, so he was resisting in this way. ”

"Who is the son of the first emperor?"

"The third son."

"Ahem! Ahem...... Ye Wenyan almost choked himself to death, "Who?" ”

"The third child of the Quan family, His Royal Highness King Yun."

"I see." She patted her forehead, "The private matter you said is related to my second brother, right?" ”

"Yes." Shi Liyuan smiled, "Ye Zhenwei was also confused by the matter between your second brother and your third highness, although he didn't catch it, but the rumors have been rumored for more than ten years, how can he not take it to heart." ”

Listening to his analysis, Ye Wen Yan remembered one more thing.

"About seven or eight years ago, once I overheard my grandfather scolding his second uncle and aunt, saying that what kind of good son they raised, it was simply bad for the night family, and the face of the ancestors was lost by him. He also said that when he returned to the camp, he would take a detour to see the night flying boat and make sure he skinned him. My second uncle and aunt said at the time that they would beat that son to death, and they didn't say a word. ”

"Not to mention seven or eight years ago, the rumors of the two of them should have been at least thirteen or fourteen years old. Of course, it wasn't originally passed down like it is now. Shi Liyuan recalled the past, "I also heard Lian Shi say these things, it is said that your second brother has always been beaten since he was a child, and then he was rescued twice by the Third Highness, and he is particularly dependent on the Third Highness." If you have nothing to do, you will run to the Third Highness, and as soon as you are beaten at home, you will go to ask for help. After coming and going, people knew that His Royal Highness liked the beautiful little boy of the Ye family, and some people had seen His Royal Highness holding his hand and shopping on the street. Because your second brother was still young at that time, people didn't think too much about it when they said it. But later, as the night flying boat grew up, the rumors were different. ”

"It's fate when I was a kid." Ye Wenyan sighed, "No wonder my grandfather can't get over this hurdle, I think that in the next ten years, the worst thing for him is to have such a grandson!" Therefore, I would rather openly stand on the side of the Sixth Highness, and resolutely do not support the Third Highness to ascend to the throne. It seems that the Ye family was really jealous of the heavy soldiers at that time, so that the first emperor had to swallow this mouthful of Coptis chinensis and suffer a dumb loss, and his favorite son could only miss the throne. ”

She felt a little regretful, "Although Quan Qingcheng is very good, His Royal Highness is really wronged." My second brother, I don't know if he knows that he is in the way of such a good way as the Third Highness. According to his temperament, if he knew this reason at the beginning, he was afraid that he would be able to stab himself to death with a knife, so that His Royal Highness would no longer have any worries, and he would also block the mouths of the people. But why does the emperor like the third son? Hasn't he heard those words from the outside world? My grandfather is so angry, can he not be upset when he listens? ”

Shi Liyuan didn't comment too much on the entanglement between Ye Feizhou and the Third Highness, he just told Ye Wenyan: "Although Ye Zhenwei is a general, he is only a general after all. So he could marry his favorite fourth granddaughter in anger because of those rumors, but the emperor had to think more. At least in his opinion, your second brother, or the matter that was passed on between them, did not have much impact on the succession of the third prince. Compared with the skills of the three princes, those are too unworthy of mention. Or ......"

He paused, and didn't say the rest of the words, until Ye Wenyan took over the words-"Or simply kill my second brother, it's a hundred." So my grandfather had such a choice, in fact, he couldn't bear to take a grandson in vain, he must have been thinking at the time, why kill my grandson in order for your son to succeed to the throne smoothly? If you have such a plan, don't blame me for tearing down your platform and slapping you in the face, and then you won't have time to regret it. ”

Shi Liyuan nodded, "That's right." So you see, it's not easy to be an emperor, threatened by the empress, and threatened by the courtiers. ”

"Why does he like the third son?" Ye Wenyan really doesn't know much about the royal highnesses, including the sixth highness that Miss Ye Si likes, and he only knows that he is the prince, and the biggest backstage is the queen mother in the palace. "I like the third son, but I have to pass on the throne, but in the end, I let the youngest son pick up a big bargain, do you think the old emperor If he knows about this, can he be so angry that he can climb out of the coffin?"

Shi Liyuan shook his head, "Silly girl, none of the sons of the Quan family are stupid, including the new emperor now. They knew who they were from birth, so even if he was a mute, he was not completely unprepared for the throne. Otherwise, why do you think his mother has been with the first emperor for a few years when he was seriously ill? In the end, it's just unwilling. As for the Third Highness, do you know why you can only get the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing from him? ”

She shook her head, "I don't know. Think again, "Maybe he bought it by chance?" ”

"It's not a coincidence, it's because he is the largest landowner in Northern Qi, and he owns the most manors, fields, and mansions in Northern Qi, including mountains. Ten years ago, he proposed public ownership of mountain ranges, but it allowed them to be bought and sold, bought from the state, and then resold after they were bought, which made those originally nameless and ownerless mountains become ownerial lands. ”

Ye Wenyan listened to it vividly, this brain is really enough! It's ahead of its time!

Shi Liyuan continued: "Although the mountain he bought is almost useless, the mountain stands there, it will not move or fall, and once he remembers it one day, or needs it, he can use it for his own use overnight. What's more, there are still so many fertile fields producing rice, and there are people living in manor houses. Those are all his forces and eyeliner, all over the entire Northern Qi. ”

He fiddled with the little girl's hair for a while, and then said, "However, the reason why the first emperor likes him is not because of these ......"
