Chapter 2868 A Woman’s Kindness

But she still took advantage of her son's praise.

She asked: "What do you think about Xiao Ziliang's matter?"

"Before, he went to the imperial kitchen every day to make a fuss and wanted to go back. Since the queen mother summoned him, he has been quiet and has not entered the palace for several days." Yan'er thought for a while, "My son did not let him go back because it was for his own sake."

"He wants to commit suicide. No one can stop him."

"Mother," Yan'er looked serious, "I have always wanted to ask you a question. Do you have any plans to return the Northern Qi Dynasty to Xiao Ziliang?"

Yun Dai smiled and said: "I really thought about it. The Xiao family was demoted from the royal family to the royal family, and it was a last resort. In fact, I don't really care whether Northern Qi is a country or a territory. I just don't want to regret your uncle."

Yan'er knew that the uncle she was talking about was Xiao Ziye, the last prince of Northern Qi.

The man who gave her the night-shining lion and horse.

Yan'er said: "The Queen Mother is too attached to love and righteousness."

Yun Dai smiled lightly: "You are the emperor now, and you are in your position and seeking your position. Naturally, you have the same idea as your father, and do not want to return Northern Qi to the Xiao family."

Yan'er said frankly: "My son feels that the Xiao family is of little use now. Under the management of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people of Northern Qi are living very well. There is no need to mention independence again."

Yun Dai said nothing.

No matter how well-behaved a son is, now that he has become the emperor, his vision and responsibilities are different, so his thoughts have changed.

In the past, Zhao Yuanjing and Xiaoer were angry at each other, bent on taking down Beiqi completely.

Yan'er has always stood by her side.

Now, Yan'er no longer agrees to give up Northern Qi.

Yun Dai didn't have any other ideas. On the contrary, she felt that the child was older and that he would have his own ideas after becoming an emperor and would no longer blindly follow his mother.

That's a good thing.

Although Yan'er was determined, she still felt a little guilty when facing her mother.

After all, Northern Qi is the motherland of the queen.

Yun Dai smiled and said: "Even if they are as close as husband and wife, mother and son, they don't have completely the same ideas and opinions. After all, it depends on whether Xiao Ziliang has such a future."

Yan'er sensitively heard her thoughts: "The queen mother wants to let him go back?"

"For Xiao Ziye's sake, if he wants to leave, I won't stop him. But whether he can return to Northern Qi alive after leaving the Zhou Dynasty depends on his own luck."

"Mother, if I were my enemy, would you be angry?"

"If he leaves, he has chosen to be your enemy. Do you want to be polite to him?"

"My son, I understand."

After Yan'er returned to the imperial study, Jin Lan asked to see him, and the emperor and his ministers talked about it.

Jin Lan said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty should not allow the King of Northern Qi to leave. If he dares to leave, he will be beheaded."

"That would cause more trouble."

"Just do it if you don't know."

Yan'er frowned: "Xiang Jin, it's not that I can't make up my mind to take action. It's just... you know, my mother is caught in the middle, and I don't want to make my mother sad."

Jin Lan said: "The Queen Mother is not an ordinary woman, so she cannot accept it. Your Majesty is the head of a country and cannot be benevolent. For the sake of the unification of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you should make a decision early."

Yan'er sighed: "My uncle has always been kind to us brothers and sisters. He is originally from the Xiao family, and it is human nature to want his rights back."

"Your Majesty must not be benevolent as a woman. If you cannot kill the emperor decisively, you will not be able to achieve great things."

"Xiang Jin, if you want to kill your own uncle, can you do it?"
