Chapter 184 What Is the Demand?
Yan Donghuang didn't say anything and found a chair to sit on.
"Since His Majesty is in good health, I guess the civil strife in Northern Qi is not as serious as the rumors outside." She said, "What is your Majesty's purpose of pretending to be ill?"
Her Majesty the Queen did not speak, silently poured a cup of tea, walked to Yan Donghuang and handed it to her.
Yan Donghuang took the tea, lowered his head and took a sip.
Her Majesty the Queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you worried that the tea is poisonous?"
"I can't think of any benefit for you to poison me." Yan Donghuang said calmly, "Besides, I have everyone here. If you really want to deal with me, wouldn't it be easier to do it directly than poisoning?"
Her Majesty the Queen said nothing, but looked at her deeply: "Do you hate me?"
Yan Donghuang was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask such a question.
"No hate," she said, "There is no point in hating."
Her Majesty the Queen didn't know whether she was pleased or laughing at herself: "Indeed. Only people with fragile hearts will struggle with this boring problem."
Yan Donghuang was noncommittal.
She really didn't think she was a fragile person, but it didn't matter whether she was strong or fragile, she just didn't think it was necessary.
Everyone has the right to choose their own life.
"You should know almost everything about the situation in Qi." Her Majesty the Queen walked back to her seat and sat down, looking up at Yan Donghuang Qiaozhuang's dressed face, "Nan Qi wanted to unify, but my father made a plan before he died. Order, if the Qi Kingdom really wants to be unified, the Northern Qi Dynasty must unify the Southern Qi Dynasty, so that the descendants of the Jimo royal family of my lineage can become the legitimate emperor."
"But my abilities are limited, and my two princes are not worthy of being emperor."
"As a last resort, I can only take advantage of this juncture when the Emperor of Southern Qi is critically ill and the princes are competing for the throne and are in civil strife. I can personally perform a play to solve this dilemma."
Yan Donghuang took a sip of tea and said, "Since you are in good health, this predicament should not be considered a predicament for Northern Qi. On the contrary, it is more dangerous for Southern Qi."
"I have to think about the long-term interests of Northern Qi." Her Majesty the Queen smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "One of the two princes under my knees is weak and the other has mediocre qualifications. No matter who becomes the emperor, they will lead Northern Qi to destruction."
It was Nan Qi who was in civil unrest in front of him.
But the civil strife in Southern Qi will end sooner or later.
Even if the old emperor left that bizarre edict, it could not stop the ministers from temporarily establishing an emperor and then consider unification.
The unification of Qi cannot be achieved overnight, but as she grows older, she, the queen, will grow old sooner or later. After the two princes reach adulthood, the issue of establishing a heir apparent can no longer be avoided.
She could almost imagine that no matter who of the two sons became emperor, they would inevitably be suppressed by Nan Qi in the future.
Yan Donghuang understood what she meant, but he did not go directly to the topic. Instead, he asked: "Are your two royal husbands unreliable?"
"Yuan Xiumo is reliable." Her Majesty the Queen leaned on the couch, narrowed her eyes and smiled softly, "He is a very good person, and our two sons are also very good. It is a pity that he was born with a weak body and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of Northern Qi."
Yuan Xiumo is reliable.
The implication is that Quan Zi is unreliable.
"Quan Zi's desire for power is greater than that of Xiu Mo. He thought it was true that I was sick, so when I asked two of them to go to Nanling and the other to Yong Dynasty to seek help, Quan Zi had no doubts because Xiu Mo was ahead of him. Take a step."
Yan Donghuang thought thoughtfully: "Have you calculated where Quan Zi will be detained after arriving in Yong Dynasty?"
"I can only say that it is possible." Her Majesty the Queen smiled casually, "If Yong Guo did not trap him, there would be other tricks waiting for him on his way back."
Yan Donghuang hummed: "So what is your final request?"
"The Yong Kingdom unites the world, and you will be the leader of the world."
Yan Donghuang was silent for a moment and frowned slightly: "Do you think I can do it?"
"It can be done." Her Majesty the Queen said calmly, "I know that the Yong Kingdom's treasury is tight and cannot support the war for a long time, but there is no doubt that your Qingluan Army is powerful. As long as the Qingluan Army is provided with enough food, horses, and weapons, we will I believe that in less than five years, you will become the master of the world."
She took out a map and handed it to Yan Donghuang: "The place I marked on the map is the place where I have ordered people to raise war horses over the years. The cavalry you trained are powerful, but the Yong Dynasty has few excellent war horses. I can provide help." ”
"The reason why my father was able to establish a new dynasty in Northern Qi was not only his army, but also a secret gold mine. His army equipment was supported by the gold mine, so you don't need money, food or grass. Worry."
Even though Yan Donghuang was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and his mood swings were not big anymore, when he heard her say such words, he was still a little shocked: "Why me?"
"Because you are my daughter."
Yan Donghuang said calmly: "That shouldn't be the reason."
"This decision is one that I have made after careful consideration for three years and I think it is the best decision."
"As for the reasons, there are three."
"First of all, you are my daughter. Although we haven't seen each other for nineteen years, we are still close to each other - or even if your temperament is like your father, I still have enough faith in your character and ability. This is premise."
"Secondly, both Dongbaek and Qian'er grew up around me. I have a thorough understanding of their nature, abilities and qualifications. Even if I hire the best miracle doctor to nurse Dongbaek's body, it won't change the fact that he was born weak. "Body, no matter how many famous teachers I invite to Qian'er, I can't change his mediocre qualifications. These are things I can't change, so I must give them up."
"Third, the obsession of Southern Qi to unify the territory has never been eliminated. I can't change it, so I can only find a way to eliminate this possibility."
"At least I can be sure that as the master of the world, you are the only one who can protect the lives of your two brothers and one sister."
"A sister?" Yan Donghuang raised his eyes and looked at her, "So Ziying is also your daughter?"
Her Majesty nodded: "She was taken away from her when she was young, her memory was wiped, and she was taught a set of medical and poison skills. The purpose of that person was to deal with you... Of course, it should not be their intention to deal with you. To be precise, they originally wanted to deal with me. Maybe they later learned your identity and wanted to use poison to control you as a hostage. Threatening me is their real purpose."
Speaking of this, she sneered: "From this, it can be seen that if you want to deal with a country or a dynasty, it is not necessarily a real fight on the battlefield. There are also some murderous conspiracies and tricks that can be used."
"Xiu Mo and I have been looking for Ziying's whereabouts for many years. I learned that she was in Qingmang Mountain and was taken to Yong Dynasty. I understood the real purpose of the person behind it."
