Chapter 311 Not a Wise Ruler
"Sir, you agreed to do it without even asking me what favor I want? Aren't you afraid that you might not be able to do it?" Yi Qianhuan sincerely felt that this man was extremely confident. He nodded without even asking her what she was planning to do.
"Can it be done without the National God worrying about it? If there is really something that this governor cannot do, then the National God will certainly not be able to do it." Ji Chilian said as a matter of course.
Yi Qianhuan was also surprised to see this man being so arrogant.
However, she had to admit that Ji Chilian was right.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to Ji Chilian for help.
"My elder brother is back." Yi Qianhuan saw Liuli bringing a stool and sat down on it.
"The young general is indeed still alive. But why did he choose to come back now? The emperor has been looking for him for six years."
"It's not that my elder brother won't come back, but he has lost his memory. It was because of the spiritualism last time that my elder brother followed the clues I provided and came here. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know that he was Yi Qianyuan." Yi Qianhuan frowned, "According to what the governor said, the emperor is very concerned about my elder brother's whereabouts?"
Ji Chilian picked up the tea bowl on the low table beside her and said in a leisurely voice: "The emperor not only cares about the young general, but also the entire Duke of Yi's mansion. Especially after you became the national god, the emperor would be particularly concerned about your news every time he saw me."
"Doesn't the Dugong know better than me whether the emperor cares about me or has other ideas? The Dugong has been in charge of the Northern Pacification Bureau for so many years, helping the emperor to solve his problems. I think the emperor should have cared about the Dugong in secret."
Yi Qianhuan had something in mind, and the faint smile on the corner of his lips showed a bit of cunning like a little fox.
In fact, she and Ji Chilian knew very well that Bei Yunting was definitely not a good person.
This emperor was a very thoughtful person and was not originally the choice of crown prince in the late emperor's mind.
Seeing Ji Chilian smiling and not denying, Yi Qianhuan's eyes turned a little colder: "Lord Governor, the emperor's concern is not from the heart, but because he is afraid of us."
"The state god has always failed to act according to the emperor's requests, so the emperor is naturally wary." Ji Chilian's tone was light and his words and expression did not waver.
"The governor did what the emperor asked, but the result was that the power of the Northern Pacification Office was greatly reduced. I heard that the palace has heard that the emperor has begun to focus on training the Dragon Shadow Guards."
Yi Qianhuan leaned back on the chair and continued, "The Dragon Shadow Guard is an army owned by the royal family and is loyal to the royal family. In the eyes of the emperor, do you think it is easier to control the Dragon Shadow Guard, who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the royal family, or the Jinyi Guard of the Northern Pacification Department?"
"Blind loyalty is not necessarily a good thing. The Dragon Shadow Guards are nothing but a group of yes-men who only know how to be loyal. They have no self-thinking and only know how to do things according to orders. This means that they will never be able to break through themselves." Ji Chilian said meaningfully, not forgetting to take a deep look at Yi Qianhuan beside him.
Yi Qianhuan chuckled: "But for the emperor, ability may not be as important as blind loyalty."
Ever since Bei Yunting targeted her after she repaired the dragon vein, she became clearly aware of one thing.
Bei Yunting is by no means a wise king. In his opinion, the most important thing for his subordinates is to be obedient.
Once his subordinates have any self-awareness, it will be intolerable in Bei Yunting's eyes.
Such a king, who wanted to hold all power in his hands, was destined to not tolerate overly talented people like himself and Ji Chilian.
Because Bei Yunting does not have the same strength as them, Bei Yunting has a strong fear of them.
"Anyone targeted by the emperor who does not obey will sooner or later be on the road to destruction." After Yi Qianhuan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
"Yi Qianhuan, you are too outspoken. Do you know that the former crown prince was deposed and died young because he was disrespectful to the late emperor? The masters of the East Palace in the past were all like this, let alone you?"
"Is the Governor reminding me that I should not disobey the imperial authority, or is he reminding me that I should not disobey Bei Yunting?" Having said that, Yi Qianhuan no longer tried to hide the truth and went straight to the point.
She had also heard about the former crown prince.
Bei Yunting himself was not the crown prince chosen by the previous emperor. It was rumored that the former prince did something extremely rebellious, which angered the emperor and led to his dethronement.
It was also because of the removal of the obstacle of the former crown prince that Bei Yunting finally had the opportunity to sit on the throne.
Originally, he did not connect the two events of Bei Yunting's death and the dethronement of the former crown prince.
However, when she mentioned Bei Yunting, Ji Chilian used the incident of the former crown prince being deposed to warn her. Does this prove that there is a connection?
Knowing that Ji Chilian must have more information than he had imagined, Yi Qianhuan looked at this man with more curiosity in his eyes.
In fact, what she said just now was extremely treasonous. She was also provoking the emperor with some tentative intentions.
Unexpectedly, Ji Chilian didn't mind at all.
From this we can see that although the man in front of him appears to be loyal to the emperor on the surface, in fact he may not wholeheartedly regard Bei Yunting as his master.
"The question asked by the God of State is not important. What is important is that the emperor has always suspected that there was a hidden story in the Battle of Xi Ye. However, the Duke of Yi and the Duke's wife have already sacrificed their lives for the country, and the emperor is not in a position to delve into the matter. Now that the major general has suddenly come back alive, does the God of State think that the emperor will be interested in the truth of what happened back then?" Ji Chilian asked.
"The emperor will definitely do it." Yi Qianhuan mentioned this matter, and a solemn look rolled in his eyes. "For everyone in Duke Yi's mansion, death is actually better than life."
"Duke Yi and his wife have already sacrificed their lives for the country, but the Major General returned safely after six years of war. Once this incident comes out, we don't know what kind of waves it will cause." Ji Chilian's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Yi Qianhuan. "If I'm not mistaken, the God of the Country came to me today specifically for the Major General's matter."
"The Governor is indeed a smart man." Yi Qianhuan directly acknowledged Ji Chilian's guess.
Ji Chilian exhaled, and her voice sounded somewhat embarrassed: "But just as the national god said, the Northern Fusi is now in a difficult situation. How can I help the national god?"
Yi Qianhuan looked at the man with disdain: "Stop pretending, Lord Du. I know you won't help me for nothing. What do you want to do? You might as well tell me directly."
