Chapter 2980: I care

"I see."
Yan'er frowned.
It's not that he doesn't know the little movements of Xiao Er.
But they are brothers.
He is more than five years older than the second, so he can be regarded as
watching him grow up.
The father died young, his eldest brother should take care of his mother and
his younger siblings.
So even though he also considered the consequences of doing this, he insisted
on fulfilling Xiao Er's wish and let him go to Beiqi to become the king of
Beiqi.
By now, he didn't regret it, but he was a little sad.
Not for himself, but for the father and the queen.
The emperor father loved Xiao Er so much and hoped that he would be the king
of Northern Qi, and hope that the two brothers would work together to make Da
Zhou and Bei Qi completely integrated, no more wars, and become powerful and
rich.
The mother and queen have been opposed to Xiaoer going to Beiqi, and even
caused the mother and son to be eccentric.
Up to now, Xiao Er is not close to her mother and queen, and has a direct
relationship with her opposition to Xiao Er being the King of Northern Qi.
Yan Er didn't have much to himself, and he had nothing to regret.
After making this decision, he considered various consequences.
However, he didn't want his mother to be sad. When he saw her, he said he
would go to Beiqi himself and bring Xiao Er back.
Yun Dai shook her head: "The little second is paranoid. No one can change what
he believes, so you still don't want to go. If you do, you might be fighting."
"But you can't just let it go."
"Look at what he is going to do. Bei Qi has become his territory. You can't
pass easily."
"Mother..." Yan'er hesitated, and decided to say it. "Now the court has a lot
of talk, saying that Xiao Er will become emperor in the Northern Qi and
separate from the Great Zhou. Since the first half of last year, the tax in
Northern Qi gradually reduced. This kind of voice has never been cut off. Now
that he is openly resisting the decree, I no longer know how to defend him."
Yundai put down the book in her hand and looked up at her elder son: "When I
was twenty or eight years old, I thought there would be such a day. To blame,
blame your father's connivance. I said that he would suffer the consequences
for himself. He let go and threw this mess to you."
Yan'er smiled and said, "That's not the case. After all, the person who agreed
to let Xiaoer be the king of Beiqi is myself, not my father. This matter has
nothing to do with my father."
"You still defend him. Could it be that if he died, he could offset the wrong
things he did? As a father, I can understand that he wants a bowl of water.
But you are in this position, how can it be really fair? It was he who
contributed to Xiao Er's ambition. I ask you, if Xiao Er really becomes the
emperor in Northern Qi, what do you plan to do?"
Yan Er didn't speak.
He hasn't thought about it yet.
When meeting King Qin at the New Year's Eve banquet, Yan'er asked him this
question.
"Uncle Emperor, if Xiao Er proclaims emperor in Northern Qi, what shall I do?"
Zhao Shu said: "Then the emperor cares about the people of the country or the
brotherhood with the king of Northern Qi."
"I care."
"The emperor, it's hard to make both ends of the world." Zhao Shu said
quietly, "you can't control other people's thoughts and practices, you can
only decide your own."
"I'm thinking, if I let Xiao Er become emperor in Beiqi..."
"If he can betray Da Zhou and you like this, are you sure his ambitions are
just these?" Zhao Shu asked him, "Human hearts are the most unpredictable
thing in the world. You satisfied him before He is the king of the Northern
Qi, but he wants to be the emperor of the Northern Qi. If you satisfy him
again, let him be the emperor. Step by step retreat will not necessarily lead
to his satisfaction. But it may be a disaster."
