At this moment, a very clear voice sounded next to him: "You can't say that."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was a clean and clean young man, about 20 years old, dressed gorgeously and appropriately, spoke in a gentle tone, and looked very handsome, with a more heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes.

I immediately recognized that it was my fourth uncle's youngest son, my cousin Yan Feibai.

He is the only son of the fourth uncle. He is old and I heard that he is particularly favored. Although he is my elder by generation, he is actually younger than me. It is just because the older generation separated very early, and I left Xichuan earlier, so I didn’t have much contact with him.

At first sight, he had grown into a handsome young man.

He sat there calmly, holding the handrail with both hands, and slowly said: "Ruoyu's words are not unreasonable. If the Yan family really wants to participate in the war and contribute money and troops, what will happen in the end?"

“…”

"In my opinion, the best result is to defeat, support the new emperor, and get a title of marquis."

"No, is it a victory?"

Yan Zicong immediately interrupted him, deliberately saying the first two words particularly sharply, and then looked at Yan Feibai with a smile: "Your tone is too big."

"oh?"

"War is not just two outcomes, one is defeated and the other is defeated. Why is it not much different in your mouth to defeat? "

Yan Feibai smiled faintly and said, "In my opinion, the victory of this matter is nothing more than that."

Yan Zicong's face suddenly froze. Obviously, he was very apart from this "counselor". In fact, he just treated Yan Feibai as a young man who was similar to him or even worse than him, but the title of "nephew" on the other party suppressed him.

But he couldn't refute it.

Yan Feibai smiled and said, "It seems very glorious to defeat, support the new emperor, and be granted the title of marquis. But is this different from the current situation of our Yan family?"

As soon as he said this, everyone around him was stunned.

Immediately someone's face showed a sudden enlightenment.

Indeed, the Yan family is now living in Xichuan. Although it is just an ordinary big family in name, it is actually the uncrowned king of Xichuan. Even the money and taxes are independent. This is more free and has greater power than the kings and princes in any place outside.

Therefore, what Yan Feibai said about the title of marquis is indeed - but that's it.

Suddenly, the faces of some people around him became subtle, and they nodded and agreed. Then Yan Ruoyu raised his head carefully and smiled at Yan Feibai to express his gratitude.

Yan Feibai just nodded, then looked around with a smile, and everyone was whispering, and many people nodded gently to express their opinions.

Yan Zicong obviously hadn't thought of this, and he was frozen there for a moment and couldn't speak.

Indeed, looking at this matter from the simplest perspective is that the Yan family contributes money and troops, but what they get in the end is just similar to what they are now, or in other words, it is even worse than the current situation.

Yan Feibai probably also considered the face of Xue Qian and Yan Gang, so he didn't finish the following words.

If he wants to continue, that is, defeat.

This is a fact that is not easy for everyone to accept.

Just as everyone whispered and Xue Qian and the others looked a little ugly, a voice sounded beside them: "A common people are all money all day long. Do you have only money, status, power, and benefits in your mind?"

Everyone turned their heads together again.

The person who spoke was a young man sitting on the other side, with a slightly fat body and looking particularly rich in his chair. His skin was also very white, which seemed to inherit the characteristics of the Yan family. However, due to the slightly fat relationship, his facial features were not so obvious and his eyes were slightly narrowed, giving people the illusion that he could not tell his appearance.

This person should be Yan Yong, the eldest grandson of the second uncle.

He said seriously: "My aunt has already made it clear just now. Pei is injustice, so we want to overthrow him. It is not for any benefit or the title of marquis!"

As soon as he heard this, Xue Qian immediately said, "That's right!"

Yan Zicong also hurriedly agreed: "That's right, it's because Pei's family is indecent, that we have to practice the way for heaven!"

Yan Feibai smiled slightly, raised his hand and hooked his eyebrows with the little finger of his right hand, and then said, "For the past few years, I have only been busy doing business and don't care much about outside affairs. Everyone gritted their teeth when they mentioned "Pei Wudao". What kind of big things did he do that are harmful to nature? Can you tell me?"

When Yan Zicong heard this, he felt as if he was so energetic that he held the armrest of the chair and straightened his back and said, "Is this still necessary?"

Yan Feibai smiled and said, "Of course. Didn't you just say that? Today is here to discuss major events. How can you not explain such an important matter clearly?"

"Okay!" Yan Zicong said immediately: "Let's talk about what Pei did!"

"Speaking."

"Prison your father, ban your mother, force your brother, kill your brother, use swords and weapons to disrupt the palace, use cruel officials to shake the court, use foreign relatives to indiscriminately harm the loyal and kind!"

When this passage of not strange words was said from Yan Zicong's mouth, my heart couldn't help but sink. These were the eight major charges listed by students from Jiangnan for Pei Yuanhao. I could see clearly in the memorial of his imperial study, and even he joked that these charges made him unable to complain. I also remember that when the student at the Xishan Academy was lectured in the Suanxiang Academy, he also attacked him with these eight charges.

But I didn't expect that after so many years, Yan Zicong still remembers it.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, everyone around him was amazed, and Yan Feibai also raised his eyebrows: "Shocking."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Xue Qian immediately said: "These crimes are not all that are invincible and act against others. Are such people still the monarch of the lawless?!"

“…”

"Do we still watch him sit on the dragon throne and cause trouble to the people?!"

As a result, some people next to them nodded and whispered, saying things like "It's true".

I frowned and gradually couldn't sit still.

In fact, before the Yan family's understanding began, I had already expected that they would use Pei Yuanhao's "no way" as an excuse to attack and encourage everyone to agree to Xichuan's troops. However, Pei Yuanhao's actions, whether good or bad, as long as he is in that position, there are too many places to attack.

After all, it would be good if you don't do it.

At this moment, an old voice said, "These words are all the opinions of scholars. Are they true or false? Those of us who are thousands of miles away from the imperial city may not really know the truth."

Looking back, it was Mr. Ma.

He sat behind us and spoke slowly.

When he opened his mouth, Xue Qian immediately frowned.

Obviously, Xue Qian was very concerned about him. After all, she was a respected old man in the Yan family. In terms of seniority, even as the eldest lady, Xue Qian did not dare to show off in front of him, so she did not immediately refute.

But she immediately looked up at Yan Gang.

Yan Gang obviously had a headache for Mr. Ma, but at this moment he was the only one who could speak. So he coughed lightly and said directly: "Although we are far away from the capital, the people who say these words are not far from the capital. These are all said by students from Jiangnan. They are really bullied by the people of the court, otherwise they would not have said such words!"

“…”

"Isn't this evidence that Pei's injustice?"

This time, everyone's discussion was louder and more intense.

Just when some people were already indignant, I grabbed the handrail and used some force and said, "Everyone, I have something to say."

Suddenly, all the sounds became quiet.

Everyone around me turned to look at me. I wonder if it was because the sun was too strong outside. Even if there was a layer of gauze on my head, I still felt a wave of heat coming. But at this moment, I felt sweat all over my body was sucked back, and there was a rushing and restless heat in my body. I took a deep breath and said, "Last night, I heard someone tell a story. After hearing this, I realized that there are many things in this world, and it may be that the owner of this story himself could not understand the story."

“…”

"I just thought about what Zicong said just now, there are many rumors spreading, which is indeed too far from the facts."

“…”

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them looked at me in shock.

"Yes, spreading rumors is the most terrifying," Yan Ruoyu said in a low voice: "My cousin is—a person who has been in the palace. You should know the truth of these things the most. Tell us."

I was originally going to speak, but Yan Ruoyu's words just gave me a step. I nodded and just as I was about to speak, I heard Xue Qian snorting coldly: "She, do you have the right to say what she did in the palace? "

“…”

My face slightly sank. I turned to look at her. I didn't get angry, but said calmly: "Madam, what I want to say is what I just discussed. Does Pei's 'no way' have anything to do with what I did in the palace?"

"you--"
