Chapter 2982 I Care About Everything
"I understand."
Yan'er frowned.
It's not that he doesn't know the waiter's little moves.
It's just that they are brothers.
He is more than five years older than Xiao Er, so he has watched him grow up.
His father died young, and he, the eldest brother, should take care of his mother and younger siblings.
So even though he had considered the consequences of doing so, he still insisted on fulfilling Xiao Er's wish and let him go to Northern Qi and become the King of Northern Qi.
So far, he has no regrets, just a little sad.
Not for himself, but for his father and his mother.
My father loved Xiaoer so much and hoped that he would become the king of Northern Qi. He hoped that the two brothers would work together to completely integrate Da Zhou and Northern Qi, so that there would be no more wars and they would become strong and wealthy.
The queen's mother had always been opposed to Xiao Er going to Northern Qi, which even led to the separation of mother and son.
Today, Xiao Er is not close to his mother, which is directly related to her opposition to Xiao Er becoming the King of Northern Qi.
Yan'er herself has nothing to do and has no regrets.
After making this decision, he considered various consequences.
However, he didn't want to make his mother sad. When he saw her, he said that he would go to Beiqi in person and bring Xiaoer back.
Yun Dai shook her head: "The waiter is paranoid. No one can change what he believes. You'd better not go. If you go, I'm afraid there will be a fight."
"But we can't just let it go."
"Let's see what he wants to do. Beiqi has become his territory, you can't go there easily."
"Mother..." Yan'er hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out, "Now the court is talking a lot, saying that Xiao Er will proclaim himself emperor in Northern Qi and break away from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since the first half of last year, after the taxes of Northern Qi gradually decreased, the court's This voice has never stopped. Now that he is openly defying the decree, I no longer know how to defend him."
Yun Dai put down the book in her hand and looked up at her eldest son: "When Xiao Er was eight years old, I thought that such a day would come. If you want to blame it, it's your father's connivance. I said he would suffer the consequences, but I didn't expect it. He walked away and left this mess on you."
Yan'er smiled and said, "That's not what you're saying. After all, I am the one who agreed to let Xiao Er become the King of Northern Qi, not my father. This matter has nothing to do with my father."
"You still defend him. Does it mean that his death can offset the wrong things he has done? As a father, he wants a bowl of water to be even. I can understand it. But how can it be really fair when you are in this position? It was he who fueled Xiao Er's ambition. Let me ask you, if Xiao Er really becomes emperor in Northern Qi, what are you going to do?"
Yan'er said nothing.
He hasn't thought about it yet.
At the New Year's Eve banquet, when she met King Qin, Yan'er asked him this question.
"Uncle Emperor, what will I do if Xiao Er becomes emperor in Northern Qi?"
Zhao Shu said: "Then it depends on whether the emperor cares about the people of the country or the brotherhood with the King of Northern Qi."
"I don't care."
"Your Majesty, it's hard to have both ends of the world." Zhao Shu said quietly, "You can't control other people's thoughts and actions, you can only decide your own."
"I'm thinking, if I let Xiaoer become emperor in Northern Qi..."
"If he can do such a thing of betraying Zhou and you, are you sure his ambitions are just these?" Zhao Shu asked him, "The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world. You satisfied him before and let him He wants to be the King of Northern Qi, but he wants to be the Emperor of Northern Qi. If you satisfy him again, let him become the emperor. Step by step retreat may not bring him satisfaction. But it may cause trouble. "
