Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"I, Da Yan, was able to slaughter all the giant beasts and drive out the evil spirits in the past. Now, I am just a beast that has been suppressed for a thousand years. Even if I wake up, what can I do?"

"You want to use that Sui Xiang for Da Yan, that's fine, but you want to pass on the merits of this Sui Xiang, so that the people of Da Yan will also think that Da Yan also needs to rely on giant beasts to develop - tell me, who is destroying the foundation of Da Yan!"

Chapter 137 Conversation

"You and I have worked together for so many years, and we know each other very well. You should know that I have not done such a thing, and it is impossible for me to do such a thing! I have also made some revisions to the documents of Simuitai, and as for the preservation of the original, it is just to record the most authentic history!"

The Master said in a deep voice.

"I have never intended to completely release the restraint on Sui Xiang. Even though I recently planned to try to use Sui Xiang's ability to deal with the evil spirits, I had no intention of making this public. Using is using. I don't intend to let them take advantage of us, but I also don't intend to cover up our actions."

"Our Great Yan is a great country in the heaven. We should not do such things as covering one's ears and stealing the bell again and again."

He stared at his old friend and his voice was full of confidence, because that was what he thought and did.

But he also knew that something was wrong.

Or at least, the commander didn't tell him all the reasons.

The Grand Tutor's plan to use the power of the Years to deal with the evil spirits was only a recent thing. It was after Qiao Yelan returned to the capital of Dayan and had that conversation that he began to slowly think about it. It has been less than a year since then, and he has only figured out a general plan.

At this time, he planned to expand the knowledge of some of the Sui Xiang, at least in the Sui Xiang’s garrisons, so that they could start to communicate and contact with humans more, so as to lay the groundwork and preparation for his next plan.

Before this, he had never taken any initiative to lift the lid on his age.

So the general's reasons seemed too far-fetched to him.

Minister Ning is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish the importance of things. He is willing to throw himself into it, even doing things behind my back, so it must be that the late emperor personally gave him the order. In other words, the entire plan started at least when the late emperor was still alive - and the planning must have started even earlier.

As the general himself said, they had not met privately outside the palace walls for six years - the duration of this plan would not be shorter than this span.

"Explain the matter to me clearly... The current emperor did not learn the emperor's methods from the previous emperor, but he learned the emperor's mindset completely, and his suspicion was even more so than that of the previous emperor!"

"If we don't have to tear each other apart, I don't want to make this clear in front of Your Majesty. I'm sure you also know the price I will pay for doing this, and the price you will have to pay - but just because I don't want to, doesn't mean I don't dare to do it!"

"You have already crossed the line!"

the old man said sharply.

He could not allow his colleagues to weave a big web that even His Majesty and himself were unaware of - no matter what the goal of that web was.

The line that cannot be crossed must not be crossed!

The general was silent for a long time. From his expression and reaction, the tutor could tell that his old friend was feeling very complicated and conflicted.

This made the Taifu feel that the matter was becoming even more bizarre.

First of all, when the late emperor was planning this matter, he did not look for him, but only looked for the Grand Marshal. He even tried to win over Minister Ning in private later. Even Minister Ning was willing to agree to deceive his teacher - this was strange enough.

Secondly, I have already threatened to [break the window paper], but the other party, knowing that I am not the kind of person who jokes, did not back down and negotiate with me, but tried to continue to conceal it...

what happened?

Is this plan really aimed at the behemoth?

The fog in the mountains had dissipated as the sun rose higher, but the old man only felt that the fog before his eyes was still getting thicker.

Another burst of heart-wrenching coughing.

"Damn it, I should have brought a bottle of wine with me."

The commander cursed.

It was this sentence that made Taifu feel extremely depressed.

He slowly, slowly took out a wine jug from his waist and placed it on the railing.

"...Old man, you really understand me."

The Grand Tutor did not respond to this. He just held the railing tightly with both hands to prevent the Commandant from noticing the problem.

This wine was not brought by him——

It was handed to him by Qiao Yelan before going up the mountain.

The general took the wine jug, unscrewed it, and took a big gulp. It seemed that to him, this was more effective than any spring water.

"Really good dogwood wine."

He praised it, took another sip, and then got to the point.

"This plan is for [years old], but it's not just for [years old]."

"In the plan of the late emperor, this matter would be told to the current emperor, just after the emperor proved his ability - but even if I tell your majesty, after your majesty knows the details, neither your majesty nor I will tell you this plan."

"If it weren't for Minister Ning's mistake and you pushing too hard this time, this matter would probably have been buried until twenty years later. I might have asked you to prepare at the last minute. Besides, the plan has been stuck now, and I can't even tell His Majesty the details for the time being."

The Master did not interrupt. He knew that as long as this person was willing to speak, he would get all the answers without asking any more questions.

He was concentrating on digesting what the other party had said before, and the more he digested it, the more doubts he felt in his heart.

【Just after His Majesty has proven his ability. 】

What if His Majesty has not been able to prove it?

I had remained neutral before because I had regrets and expectations for Wei Yanwu - is it true that this old Taiwei was even more resolute than me in standing idly by simply because soldiers don't interfere in politics?

Taking a step back, how is Your Majesty going to prove your ability?

After overthrowing Cai Yan, he still dared to continue to use him, and was able to control this old minister more and more. The opposition voices in the court were getting smaller and smaller every day - isn't this a proof?

But why did the commander say that this matter cannot be told to His Majesty for the time being?

[Even if you tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty and I will not tell you the details. ]

This means that Your Majesty can be told, but why can't you tell me?

The most direct explanation is that if I were told, the plan would have a fatal flaw and might even fail - but the general said the plan was temporarily stuck because he couldn't tell His Majesty the truth now.

Does it mean that if he tells His Majesty about this plan now, His Majesty will become an unstable link like himself, thus causing the failure of this plan?

So what do I have in common with the current Majesty?

But this common point is something that the Taiwei on the opposite side and Minister Ning do not have?

The Taifu's heart was no longer cold, but began to feel uneasy.

——Because, after thinking about it for a long time, he really thought of a common point between His Majesty and himself.

Your Majesty, who did you rely on to overthrow Cai Yan and regain control of the court?

As the Grand Tutor, who is the person you deal with the most?

The almost unconditional trust in that person is the intersection between the Grand Tutor and the Emperor.

His Majesty has proven his ability, but the commander said that he cannot tell His Majesty for the time being - because this is the time when His Majesty's trust in Qiao Yelan is at its peak!

A person who remained neutral when the emperor tried to regain control of the court, a person who helped the emperor turn the tables and take back the court - who will Your Majesty trust more? The answer is obvious.

As for the relationship between himself and Qiao Yelan...the general might not have known it at first, but the late emperor certainly knew it.

He forced himself to resist the urge to turn off the communicator on his body and stared at the captain, his face twitching and even a bit ferocious.

The old man now wanted to cover his old friend's mouth, but he also wanted to hear more.

"The late emperor said that we can no longer trust that person, at least not when it comes to [Years Old]."

"......Why?"

"Why—use your brain!"

The general held the wine jug, veins bulging on the back of his hand.

"Have you been in the Si Sui Tai for too long? Have you become rigid in your thinking? Let me ask you, that man, the one who helped His Majesty break up the Tsai Party and take control of the government - is he a human being or what?"

The tutor opened his mouth, dumbfounded.

"In the secret records of the royal family, there is a will that has been passed down only orally since the founding of the Great Yan Nation - as long as the Great Yan royal family has never let down the Tianji Pavilion, then if the Great Yan is in danger of collapse, they can go find the man surnamed Qiao. The person who contacted him was also a eunuch, and the message was passed down through a single thread."

There seemed to be wind and thunder surging, and raging waves surging in the old general's voice.

"This saying has not changed for a thousand years, and that man has also protected Great Yan for a thousand years - but isn't this a huge joke for the foundation of our Great Yan that we have always promoted?"

"Everyone knows that our Great Yan does not rely on the protection of giant beasts or the blessings of gods - but that Minister of Rites surnamed Qiao, is he a giant beast or a god?"

"My Great Yan has been passed down for thousands of years. What does it rely on? Is it people, or - him?"

The Master frowned.

"It's not that simple—"

"I don't care what this matter is about. The order given to me by the late emperor is to kill [Sui] and completely put an end to the aftermath of the founding of my Great Yan nation - and this matter cannot involve Qiao Yelan in the slightest. My Great Yan nation must do it personally and put an end to it personally!"

The general interrupted the old man and said bluntly.

"The late emperor started planning this matter after the Blood Peak Battle!"

"The late emperor once said that the great war, coupled with Vladimir's death, could at least buy us twenty years of peace in the northern border of Great Yan! For at least twenty years, Ursus would not dare to move east or south."

"And the East Country is just a tiny country. It will take them decades to recover from the losses in the Blood Peak War alone. Moreover, they are still in internal strife at this time. As long as we continue to secretly support the two generals to fight against each other, the East Country will never recover."

"When the late crown prince left the capital, the late emperor had been giving him as much support as possible. His goal was to have Duke Wei regain control of the Dragon Gate. While Ursus was unable to look south, he would take the opportunity to open up trade routes with the west and obtain the materials and money needed to implement the plan for Great Yan. He is a prince and will always be one, so he must always be used by Great Yan!"

"After that, he found Duke Ning and won over Minister Ning. On the one hand, he used [Wang] to divert your attention, and on the other hand, he secretly planted people in the Ministry of Rites and the Simai Office to deceive your vision. The incident of replacing the Simai Office's documents happened at this moment."

The Master's scalp was tingling after hearing this.

It was neither admiration for the comprehensiveness of the late emperor's plan, nor shock at how early the plan was started.

It was the fear that had been clinging to him like a maggot on his tarsal bones since five days ago.

Fear of Qiao Yelan.

From the words of the general, it sounded like the late emperor's plan was flawless - time, money, executors, every item was calculated and the general trend was understood.

But the problem is that the two prerequisites of this plan seemed to have been offered by Qiao Yelan on his own initiative.

This is the only piece of news that the Grand Tutor holds in his own hands, and the late emperor does not know about it.

The reason was simple—he thought the late emperor knew.

When the Ursus-Eastern Kingdom War broke out, the Eastern Kingdom had already sent an envoy to ask for help from Dayan. However, the Emperor of Dayan was seriously ill at the time, the Crown Prince was regent, the ministers were divided on whether to send troops, and the Emperor did not make a direct statement.

Then came the sudden and mysterious death of the Eastern Kingdom envoys. The detectives of Jingzhao Yinfu were helpless and the court was in a state of panic over the matter.

Next came the battle report from the East Country - the East Country won a great victory in the Blood Peak Battle, and almost wiped out the Ursus First Army, which was the Tsar’s personal army. Currently, the two sides are continuing to confront each other in the Blood Peak area.

The battle report was also sent back from the inside - at this time the Eastern Kingdom was already at the end of its strength, and its elite legions were all shattered, with more than half of the regular soldiers killed or wounded, and most of the army was forcibly replenished by newly conscripted young and strong people; on the Ursus side, Vladimir the Great was seriously ill and vomited blood, and he fell into a coma three times a day.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that if Dayan sent out its troops at this time to force peace talks, it would not only be able to establish the country's prestige, but would also be able to get what it wanted from both warring parties.

So the case of the sudden death of the diplomatic envoy was immediately solved.

[Ursus has evil ambitions. After failing to spy on the territory of Great Yan, he attempted to conquer Great Yan's vassal states and even sent assassins to Beijing to slaughter all the envoys from the Eastern Kingdom.]

With just one manifesto, Dayan gained the upper hand. Not only did it have a legitimate reason to attack, it also announced the vassal status of the East Country to the world.

After that, Dayan went on an expedition, with Wei Yanwu leading the troops personally - to gild himself.

And now the Eastern Kingdom dares not to deny it, and has to accept the title of this vassal state - otherwise they will be destroyed!

Ursus was even more uneasy - the invincible late emperor was defeated in a bloody battle, and Casimir in the east also launched a full-scale counterattack for the lost territory in the past.

They don’t even dare to claim victory over the East Country now, so how dare they make enemies with Dayan again?

Most people did not know the inside story of this matter, but the Grand Tutor knew it. He even knew who killed the Eastern Kingdom envoys - because Qiao Yelan wrote a secret letter to him at the time, asking him to gather the candle holders of Simuitai and reveal some flaws to him.

After that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited the Eastern Kingdom in military uniform, and with a great victory, he overwhelmed the Eastern Kingdom's ministers, accepted the vassalage agreement, and after returning to the court, he was cheered and admired by the people of the country.

That's how it should be.

Chapter 138 A New Deal

It turned out that the problem arose from this drop-in visit.

Wei Yanwu didn't know what was wrong with his brain, but after seeing Princess Wenyue from the East Country, he fell in love at first sight. He wanted to force his father to marry this foreign princess because he loved beauty more than power.

Naturally, everyone in the East Country was ecstatic, wishing that Wen Yue and Wei Yanwu would have their wedding night right away - and in Dayan, everyone was annoyed by this Crown Prince.

This matter lasted for half a year, and even the tactic of using dirty tricks to overturn the chessboard failed - no one knows where Princess Wen Yue got so many mysterious masters, and they are particularly good at guarding. It seems that they were specially trained to protect some important person.

In the end, everyone was forced into a corner and had to give in, allowing Wei Yanwu to go and play the game of envying the mandarin ducks but not the celestial beings.

However, he still had some conscience and did not forget his name, so he chose to go to Longmen, saying that he wanted to guard the border for Dayan forever.
