21: The ins and outs. What happened back then!
Yilian Zhan was extremely sad in his heart, he witnessed the events of that year, but he was powerless to return to the sky: "Back then, we listened to Bixia's words and attacked Zhu Yunguo. At that time, it was still the Sixteen Kingdoms. Although Zhu Yunguo's national strength has weakened a lot, he has a good family background. Originally, our Yilian family did not approve of the sneak attack. But because of that prophecy, he was forced to stand on the cusp. β
Yi Lianyu couldn't help but interrupt his words at this moment, his brows were deeply locked, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Zhu Yunguo, Yu'er has also read it from the history books. But I didn't expect that this country was destroyed by our Yilian family. What happened back then? What happened to make the uncles and parents change their minds and decide to sneak attack and stand on the cusp? And what is that prophecy?"
"Heyβ" Yilian Zhan shook his head, wielding away the devastation in his memory, "Okay." Don't ask. Listen to Grandpa tell you slowly. β
At that time, the national teacher prophesied that the Yilian family would produce a daughter of the emperor phoenix, and with this woman in the Yilian family, this family would definitely enjoy wealth and glory forever, and the wealth and fortune would soar to the sky, and it would be a blessed family!
This would have been a good thing. It's a pity that everyone in the court is in danger, and they feel that the blessings of the Yilian family are too vigorous, but it will damage the prestige of the emperor, and the population must be reduced. As soon as these words came out, the voices of approval from both the government and the opposition came one after another. It also made the Yilian family a big stone in the emperor's heart from then on. Just when I didn't know what to do, someone said that Zhu Yunguo's national strength was weakened, and if he attacked it secretly, he would definitely be able to take this country and expand the territory of Tianyuan Country even wider!
In fact, the emperor didn't believe those rumors at all, but because there were too many people in the government and the opposition, the country had just experienced a plague and half of it was damaged. It is really a disadvantageous move to send troops now. However, the national teacher sent a letterhead, saying that the Yilian family would definitely be able to take Zhu Yunguo, but the family would be wiped out.
The emperor was worried. The Yilian family is one of his most trusted families, and he cannot put it to death! However, the government and the opposition even jointly elected the Yilian family, so that the emperor could not speak of his suffering. In order to give the Yilian family a prosperous and wealthy emperor, the Yilian family understands that there are some things that cannot be avoided. In order to prevent the Yilian family from being said to be highly meritorious in the future, he resolutely decided to give his life to save the heirs and inheritance. Also in order to retain the emperor's heart. Therefore, reluctantly marched.
The events that followed are recorded in the history books. The battles were fought for ten years, both large and small. Zuihou, the Yilian family took the lives of everyone in the army and took down Zhu Yunguo. The capable people who recovered Zhu Yunguo were used by Bixia. Therefore, there is a lotus family that is rich enough to rival the country today. The emperor did not retract his identity as the prince of the god of war of the First Lotus War, although he no longer had real power. His heirs also entered the First Academy of the Imperial Capital for free, and the salary was good. But just as the national teacher said back then, the Yilian family did suffer a catastrophe, and only one person was left in the family, and only five people were left in the family. Plus he's an old man.
Hearing this, Qian Ran suddenly sneered: "Grandpa, the national teacher is really powerful!"
Yilian Zhan came back to her senses, and her sad eyes crossed a trace of discoloration because of her cold words: "Ran'er, what do you mean by this?"
The rest of the people were also a little curious and looked at her.
Qian Ran pursed her lips, and she couldn't help but feel sad for their heads. In fact, isn't this matter obvious?
