Chapter 78: Ominous Wind (6)
"The princess should actually be the most innocent, but she is caught up in the dispute between the prince and the emperor. It's really ironic. Under normal circumstances, the princess should be able to enjoy the life that her status and position deserve. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. As long as she exists, this matter will never be resolved. To put it bluntly, if the princess did not exist, the situation between the prince and the emperor would not have become like this."
Gao Jin analyzed the situation from the beginning to the present, and found that the reality was too cruel.
"But if it weren't for the princess, the prince wouldn't have changed, let alone forgive those people."
What Zhu Ji said was about the plague. If it weren't for Yin Yin, Weicheng would have been a sea of fire long ago, and Weicheng would not have been reborn. Speaking objectively, Zhu Ji thought that Zhou Yan's change was a good thing. Excessive cruelty would only increase public resentment. A little forgiveness might also be a good thing. Even if he searched the whole world, Zhu Ji would not think of anyone other than Yin Yin. As long as Yin Yin was by Zhou Yan's side, with Yin Yin's kindness, Zhou Yan would be influenced sooner or later. Only then would he gain more popularity and be remembered in history.
"Maybe. But no matter what, we have to consider the prince first. If the prince really goes to war with the emperor, casualties are inevitable. Moreover, the emperor is too powerful as an opponent. We have to worry about the prince."
For Gao Jin, Zhou Yan is always the priority, and everything else comes second, including Yin Yin. I'm afraid that if the day comes when he really thinks that Yin Yin's existence will endanger Zhou Yan, Gao Jin will eliminate Yin Yin's existence without hesitation.
If it were the Zuo Yu of the past, he would probably have the same idea as Gao Jin, but unfortunately he is no longer the same person he used to be, and the person who changed him is Yin Yin. Although he will not betray Zhou Yan, he has no intention of erasing Yin Yin's existence.
From this incident, it can be seen that civil and military officers have completely different ideas. Civil officials will consider the issue of effectiveness, while military officers only consider how to be loyal to their master!
“General Gao, you only need to say those words in front of Zuo Yu and me. Otherwise, if they get to the prince’s ears, your life will become worthless.”
"I know it without you telling me, and I don't think what I said is wrong."
"That's right, but it also depends on the object."
Zhu Ji's few words made Gao Jin silent. For those who were loyal to Zhou Yan, they all knew Zhou Yan's personality and character very well. If they died not while working for him but were stabbed to death under special circumstances, then their lives would become meaningless.
"It's not her fault."
Zuo Yu's voice suddenly rang out. Zhu Ji and Gao Jin, who heard these words unexpectedly, seemed puzzled. They looked at Zuo Yu at the same time, and then looked at each other in confusion. What was the meaning of Zuo Yu's words?
King's Army Camp.
Zhou Cheng also received the news that Yin Yin had arrived at Zhou Yan's camp. He was as hesitant as Zhou Yan. He did not want to go to war with Zhou Yan, but he did not want Yin Yin to see him fighting with Zhou Yan. However, he was unwilling to let Zhou Yan leave, let alone let Yin Yin pass by under his nose.
"I don't believe it was Yan who asked her to come."
"I think so too."
Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen were both suspicious of Yin Yin's arrival , and they knew that it was impossible for Zhou Yan to ask Yin Yin to come. They thought that Zhou Yan would keep Yin Yin in Weicheng and hide it from her, so that they could fight without hesitation. This is what they mean when they say that plans cannot keep up with changes.
"If Yinyin is here too, it looks like we have to re-plan our battle plan."
"Before that, shouldn't we first find out her purpose?"
"...Maybe someone told her something to be a lobbyist."
Zhou Cheng's words made sense. Shan Zhen also thought that it would be good if it was true. He was afraid that it would not be what they thought. It would be embarrassing at that time. But who would do that in Weicheng? No, the premise is that if Yin Yin is asked to be a lobbyist, she must be someone who knows the "inside story". Who would know this so-called "inside story"? Shan Zhen first thought of Xue Han, but he felt that it was unlikely. He was not sure how much Xue Han knew, so he did not rule out the possibility at the same time. Shan Zhen thought that Zhou Cheng should have seen through this level.
"If this is true, what does the emperor plan to do?"
"Didn't I tell you? Make a new plan, or... do you want me to just let it go?"
It was impossible to ask Zhou Cheng to let go, and Shan Zhen had never thought of saying such a stupid thing, but he was sure that Zhou Cheng had made up his mind and a fight was inevitable.
The battle between Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan may seem like a civil war to outsiders. Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan, who participated in it, fought for their own selfish desires. Although people who knew the inside story knew that this was a battle for power, who would have known that this was a long-planned war designed by others?
A thick conspiracy buried everyone's heart, using other people's feelings to ignite the war between brothers. What is brewing the growth of hatred? Only one thing is clear, that is, those who are used will pay a heavy price for it...
