The temptation of peace within a hundred years is indeed huge, and Chen Yalan is gradually tempted.
However, even though she was somewhat tempted, she understood that this matter was of great importance and was beyond her complete control, so she had to write a letter back to the palace and ask for the emperor's opinion.
Along with this letter, there was also a letter home to Fu Liu.
When the news was passed back to the palace, Situ Yao looked at Chen Yalan's letter and was somewhat hesitant. He didn't know what to do about this matter.
This matter is of great importance, and Situ Yao has to consider it carefully. However, his consideration alone is inevitably one-sided, so after thinking it over again and again, he still chooses to find Su Mengyan and let Su Mengyan comfort him.
After reading Chen Yalan's letter from beginning to end, Su Mengyan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not impossible in my opinion."
Hearing Su Mengyan say this, Situ Yao knew that she had an idea in her mind, so he hurriedly asked: "Yan'er, do you think this is okay? I don't know what you think in your heart, can you tell me."
Seeing that Situ Yao still asked for her opinion on such a national matter, Su Mengyan's previous complaints about him gradually faded. She smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't really matter to us who becomes the king of Tubo, but if that person can become our puppet, then that would be great for us."
"I know you naturally have your own concerns. You're probably worried about the child's unknown identity, which makes it difficult for us to control him. So, we need to learn more about this matter from Chen Yalan and find out more about the child. If possible, we can do him a favor. Isn't that just perfect?"
After hearing Su Mengyan's words, Situ Yao's original worries disappeared without a trace: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better."
Su Mengyan sighed: "This war has been going on for so long, it's time to end it. Now that the end of the year is approaching, it would be best if we can end this war before the end of the year."
border town.
The fields outside the city were golden. It was the harvest season, but because of the recent war here, even harvesting crops had to be done quickly.
They were afraid that if they were a step late, their food would fall into the hands of the enemy.
Chen Yalan also felt the same way as these residents, so she brought her army to the fields again, intending to help the residents here collect grain.
This time the little boy was still by her side, but he was a Tubo and looked a little different from the people in the Central Plains.
"Look, that kid doesn't look like us. He seems to be an enemy."
Someone noticed the little boy's appearance and quietly discussed it with the people around them. However, since the little boy came with Chen Yalan and the others, it was not easy to directly confront him.
When the people around him heard what the other person said, they immediately turned their heads to look at the little boy, and found that he did look a little different from them.
"Are you saying this little boy is Tibetan? How did he end up among us Central Plains people?"
These people were not very familiar with the appearance of the little boy, because although the little boy and his family lived in the border town, they had no contact with other people, so his sudden appearance at this time was naturally a little difficult to accept.
So at this moment, the little boy who followed Chen Yalan to help collect grain was undoubtedly targeted by these people.
Just for Chen Yalan's sake, these people did not embarrass the little boy directly. Moreover, it seemed as if they had agreed not to give the little boy a good face and deliberately ignored him.
Chen Yalan thought a little about the residents' thoughts and sighed. She knew that if she could not integrate the little boy into these residents, the little boy's safety would be difficult to guarantee when a war broke out in the future.
It seems that I need to think of some way to help the little boy integrate into these people.
Just when Chen Yalan was about to say something on behalf of the little boy, she found that the little boy was trying hard to do things that the residents could accept.
After a tiring day, the little boy finally gained some acceptance from the residents of the border town through his own efforts.
The little boy is a smart man. He actually wants to be king, so he naturally understands that it is absolutely impossible to rely on himself, so at this moment he can only rely on Chen Yalan.
That's why he tried so hard to get everyone to recognize him. He knew that only by getting the recognition of the people here could he change Chen Yalan's opinion of him.
After returning to her resting place, Chen Yalan called the little boy over. She had known the little boy for some time, but she never knew his name and always called him "child".
"What's your name?" Seeing the little boy's efforts, Chen Yalan remembered that she should ask his name.
"Dylan." The little boy said his name without hesitation.
"Dilans," Chen Yalan repeated. If she was not mistaken, the little boy should have only said his first name and not his last name.
Thinking of this, Chen Yalan looked up at the little boy and asked, "What's your last name?"
When it comes to this topic, the little boy hesitated, as if he really didn't want to mention his last name. This made Chen Yalan a little alert. Could it be that the little boy couldn't tell his last name?
Seeing that Chen Yalan, who had finally gained some trust in him, was now on guard, the little boy hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Mons."
What? Chen Yalan was stunned. If she remembered correctly, the surname Mengs should be the surname of Wang in Tubo.
The little boy in front of her was actually a member of the Tibetan royal family. While Chen Yalan was surprised, she also understood why the little boy wanted to be king. She was wondering how a commoner could become a king. If he was not a member of the royal family, the Tibetans would not easily accept him.
"Then you are a descendant of the royal family?" Chen Yalan asked. Although she was already very sure in her heart, she still couldn't help but want the little boy to admit it himself.
As early as when he said his last name, the little boy was prepared to be recognized. Seeing Chen Yalan asking him like this, the little boy nodded with a wry smile.
"Yes, I am from the Tubo royal family. In fact, the merchant you saw is not my father. He is a minister in our court. Because of the war in Tubo, he protected me and helped me escape." Since his identity has been exposed, the little boy no longer concealed the merchant's true identity.
