"So I said, if our Ye family wants to be the emperor, we don't need to bother with rebellion."
"Ah, then which emperor was so unreliable that he handed over all his troops to our Ye family? His descendants must hate him to death."
"What nonsense are you talking about, brat? The unreliable emperor you are talking about is Yue Tianqing, the founding emperor of the Yeyue Empire. He is also the sworn brother of the first head of our Ye family. At that time, he was a Dharma Saint.
Mage, and our ancestor Ye Jinhuan was a sword master.
At that time, the plain where the Yeyue Empire was located was occupied by more than a dozen small countries. They attacked each other, causing the people to live in wars all year round and miserable. In order to save the people from the fire and water, Yue Tianqing and their ancestor Ye Jinhuan relied on
With his own appeal, he organized a powerful force, swept through these small countries, and finally established the Yeyue Empire.
When the country was founded, neither of them wanted to be emperor. After all, they were both spiritual practitioners and did not like these intrigues and intrigues in power games. But they did not feel comfortable leaving it to others, so they decided to divide their labor and cooperate, and were responsible for managing the empire and the empire respectively.
To protect the empire, a system of separation of military and political affairs was established. Our Ye family will be in charge of the army and continue to practice to be responsible for protecting the Yeyue Empire, while the Yue family will ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor and be responsible for managing the empire. In fact, it is the Yue family who has sacrificed the most in doing so.
To be able to concentrate on governing the country, they not only gave up cultivation, but also handed over the army as a security guarantee into our hands. This is equivalent to handing over their own security to us.
But they all know that this system is very unstable. If the descendants of the two families are not united at all, it will easily lead to the country being shaken. In the end, in order to permanently avoid this situation of turning against each other and becoming enemies, two people with top cultivation launched their own
With their connections and the prestige of the empire, they hired almost all the saint-level masters at that time and jointly helped them sign a permanent friendship contract passed down by blood.
This contract allows the descendants of the two of them to live in peace and friendship, and never betray each other or do anything that harms the interests of the other party. This ensures that the Yue family, who is responsible for managing the empire, and the Ye family, who is responsible for guarding the empire, can
Generations of friendship have ensured that the empire will never experience turmoil caused by power struggles.
The great thing about this contract is that its effect comes from people's hearts. In other words, everyone from the Ye family wants to protect the empire and maintain the safety of the Yue family from the bottom of their hearts.
I just wanted to trust the Ye family and fully support the Ye family.
Therefore, if our Ye family proposes to rebel and become emperor now, then the Yue family will definitely give up the throne to us without hesitation and just exchange responsibilities with us. And now if the Yue family wants to disband the army and other management because of the needs of the empire,
Behavior, our Ye family will support each other from the bottom of our hearts, and we will not feel that we are weakening our own strength.
It is because of this that I, the sword master, have to listen to Feng Dianmao in the court. Otherwise, a sword master is the patron saint of this country, and the emperor of the country has to bend down and salute. Just because we have this contract with the Yue family
Only if I exist, I want to be a minister in the empire. I cannot become a sacred existence higher than the imperial power like the sword masters of other countries. Because if it is too disrespectful to the Yue family, they will simply quit and let us be emperors and they will be responsible for protecting
, this is not what I expected. So I can only deal with everything with the attitude of a courtier, and even have to accept the birdiness of these dogs in the Zhao family."
"Originally, it's not time to tell you these things, but recently you have often been making trouble outside, and your mind is full of suspicions between the emperor and his ministers. I am afraid that you have misjudged the situation and cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. That's why I have informed you in advance.
I tell you this because I want you to clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and to know that you don’t have to guard against the royal family in the Yeyue Empire. On the contrary, they are still our strongest allies."
"No wonder it's called the Yeyue Empire. I thought it was a coincidence. Then His Majesty the Emperor has no possibility of suspecting you. On the contrary, the more powerful you become, the happier he will be. So why do we have to keep it a secret? Grandpa, do you want to give it to me?
A surprise for the emperor?"
Ye Weiqing didn't expect that the relationship between the Ye family and the Yue family was so complicated. No wonder the time he met the emperor, although he seemed to want to help the Zhao family at first, he still couldn't bear to hate him.
It turns out that there is that kind of weird blood contract that can control people's hearts and prevent them from thinking any harm to the other person. It is indeed very perverted.
"Surprisingly, although the emperor is not our enemy, it does not mean that we have no enemies. It is not that we have no enemies in the country. Those people from the Zhao family who have always been against us are now very powerful.
What's more, our Ye family has more powerful enemies outside, and they are always watching us, so we can't take anything lightly."
As if remembering those unresolved grievances, Ye Tian's tone became a little lower, his eyes flashed, and he continued:
"Isn't it a good example that you sneaked out and was assassinated last time? They saw that you have been very popular recently, and they were afraid that you would grow into another strong man in the Ye family, so they planned to get rid of you as a threat in advance. Fortunately, you are alive.
Big, and they didn't get any benefits afterwards. Your grandma taught them a very hard lesson just to vent your anger, but she herself also suffered some losses."
"Really, I've always wanted to ask, last time you said that the murderer who sent someone to assassinate me has paid the price, then who is the murderer you found?"
Thank you for reading, your support is my biggest motivation.
