"This..." Beilin fell silent.
Their Bei family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, and their reputation was earned by the Bei family members at the cost of their lives. Even if they did not rebel, the higher-ups would not tolerate them.
This is the emperor.
"From a friend's perspective, I don't want you to go. Neither your father nor you." Bei Yutang suggested.
"But if we don't go, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the others can't handle it? I know you're powerful, but will the other generals see it that way? They'll just think you Bei family members are trying to monopolize all the military merits. Over time, they'll inevitably become disloyal. Giving others a chance is also telling the emperor your feelings. Do you understand?"
The Southern Tang emperor had always wanted to support other generals to take the throne, but he never found an opportunity. The Southern Tang emperor wanted to divide the power of the Northern clan and remove their power bit by bit.
Although this would reduce the Bei family's power in the military, it would reassure the emperor and was a life-saving strategy.
In her previous life, she didn't understand why the emperor simply relied on that forged document of treason to convict the Bei family. Tang Jingyu, the one who had acted, was certainly despicable, but even more despicable was the emperor of Southern Tang.
It was him, he wanted to get rid of the Bei family.
Tang Jingyu simply saw through the emperor's thoughts and set up such a simple plan to easily seize the military power from the Bei family.
It would be more accurate to say that it was the emperor rather than Tang Jingyu who wanted the Bei family to die.
Tang Jingyu was the one who handed the knife to the emperor, and the emperor was the one who took advantage of the situation and took action.
Bei Yutang felt very distressed when she saw her brother so conflicted.
She knew her brother's temperament too well. From childhood to adulthood, his concept was to defend the country and be loyal to the king. Now, asking him to go around in circles, it was naturally difficult for him to accept.
I understand the principles, but I just can't get over the beliefs I've established since childhood.
"If you can't make the decision, you can tell General Bei what I said."
"I know."
When Bei Lin was about to leave the box, Bei Yutang suddenly said, "Let me know if you've made a decision."
"Um."
Beilin left without looking back.
Bei Yutang watched him leave, feeling very worried.
Brother, don't go back to the old ways.
The emperor of Southern Tang is unkind, so why should we protect this country for him?
Bei Yutang looked towards the direction of the imperial palace, his eyes full of coldness.
In his previous life, his brother requested permission to go, and the officials behind the princes in the court all agreed, forcing the Emperor of Southern Tang to agree. Tang Jingyu originally wanted Beilin to go without return, but unfortunately, Beilin was lucky enough to escape the miasma forest and win the battle.
From then on, General Bei Xiao's reputation was no less than that of General Bei.
However, because of this battle, my brother's health also began to deteriorate. Although he had emerged from the poisonous miasma forest, he was still injured.
No outsiders know this.
All they knew was that he was alive and had won the battle.
At that time, the residence of Marquis Zhongwu was always crowded with people, and all the officials in the court came to curry favor with him.
Even Tang Jingyu shamelessly tried to establish a relationship with him.
But, so what? It was all just an illusion.
Everything that goes up must inevitably decline. This is a problem that every powerful official in every dynasty will face. It is also an unspeakable delicate situation between the emperor and his subjects.
The emperor was afraid that their power was too great, and the ministers were afraid that the emperor would abandon them after their cunning deeds.
