"Did General Ye say that?" Shan Yu asked curiously. He had also heard of this mysterious family.

Ye Yuanqing nodded: "Yes, my elder brother told me to be careful even if I sit on the throne, I have to be careful of the Donghuang surname."

"Since that's what Prince Ye said, we must pay attention. We still have to seize the throne now!" Shan Yu actually knew that the fight for the throne this time was not that simple.

Ye Yuanqing's advantage lies in the army. He has his father's faction in the court, and many people have not expressed their opinions yet.

Some even thought about the royal family. If Prince Ye could come back to take charge at this time, the royal family would not be so arrogant.

However, Shanyu also knew one thing, that Prince Ye did not come back because he might want to train his sister.

Some things need to be fought for by yourself, only then will you know the hardships involved, but I still hope that Prince Ye will be in charge, then things will be much simpler.

After all, the royal family is still very afraid of Prince Ye. Although Ye Yuanqing is Prince Ye's sister, Prince Ye has not expressed his opinion.

The royal family believed that Prince Ye had a hands-off attitude and that whoever had the ability could become the emperor.

Ye Hua does have this attitude. Of course...if his sister loses in the end, he, as a brother, will have to save her, but Ye Hua believes in Ye Yuanqing's strength.

"Tomorrow will be an important day." Ye Yuanqing whispered, taking a sip of tea. He felt that this was more tiring than being a general. Tomorrow would be the final decision, and he didn't know how it would end.

Shan Yu said in a deep voice: "General Ye, you can't waste the military power in your hands."

"Shanyu, the royal family also has military power."

"But the army's heart is with you. As long as you say a word, General Ye, I believe all the generals will stand behind you."

"I know, but this is no different from usurping the throne. After all, I am not a member of the royal family. If I want to be the emperor, I must have the support of the people. Recently, Huang Ming has been doing good deeds and gained a lot of fame. He even sent people to spread the word that I want to seize the throne. The people's support is almost unsustainable." Ye Yuanqing said in a deep voice.

Shan Yu couldn't help it at this time, and said with a low roar: "Ye Yuanqing! How can you be a general? You are not decisive at all! This is government affairs, just like a battlefield. If you hold back, the enemy will kill you! And you are going to be the empress! Some things require trade-offs, put away your conscience!"

"No, if I put away my conscience, what difference will there be between me and others when I sit on the throne? I want to benefit the world of gods, not to engage in those conspiracies! If we want to fight, we must do it openly!"

Shanyu covered his forehead and said, "Oh my God... How did you become a general? You have to adapt to circumstances. This is a struggle for power. The tactics used on the battlefield are useless."

"Then you have to sit on the throne too. You can't even sit on the throne. Negotiating peace will benefit the world of gods." Shan Yu tried his best to persuade him, otherwise he would not be so passive. If the other party made a move, he could resist it, but Ye Yuanqing would not let him.

Shanyu finally realized how troublesome this woman was. It was simply intoxicating...

If all women are so troublesome, I would rather never get married.

"I won't forget my original intention. If it doesn't work out, the worst that can happen is that I'll be scolded by my elder brother."

"Ye Yuanqing! Do you think I'm just going to scold you? You fought with Huang Min, and Huang Min got the power of the emperor. Do you think the Ye family can still be saved? Can you stop being childish!" Shan Yu couldn't help but roar. This woman was so stupid. Her father actually asked her to assist him. She would be pissed to death in a few minutes.

Ye Yuanqing looked at Shan Yu. Although the latter was not very strong, he still glared back at him, and his aura was extraordinary.

"I have made up my mind. Let's meet in the court tomorrow morning. I'm going to rest." With that, Ye Yuanqing went back to his room, leaving Shanyu standing there in a daze. If he didn't mobilize the troops, he would surely be defeated tomorrow... However, Ye Yuanqing also knew this. He never expected that it would be so difficult, and he even had to change his original intention, which was impossible... In the month since he came back, Ye Yuanqing was physically and mentally exhausted, and sometimes he really didn't want to be the emperor anymore.

I feel especially sad when I hear people slandering me.

Ye Yuanqing is just a general after all. Being an emperor and being a general are two different things. A good general may not be a good emperor.

Shan Yu had no choice but to leave. He wanted to go back and talk to his father about this matter. Should he support the royal family in the morning court tomorrow? Otherwise, the Shan family would also perish! Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Standing on Ye Yuanqing's side at that time meant standing in opposition to the royal family.

If they fail, will the new emperor, Huang Ming, be able to forgive them? That is impossible... All the members of the Ye family must die!

Shanyu can't let the Shan family take risks.

So as soon as Shanyu returned home, he immediately found his father.

Shan Junren held a book in his left hand and a teacup in his right hand, taking a sip from time to time. He looked very leisurely and didn't seem worried at all.

"Father, how can you still have the mind to drink tea and read books? Our family is going to be destroyed." Shanyu shouted anxiously, not yet thinking of a way to escape this disaster.

Shan Junren glanced at his son and said softly, "I have taught you many times that even if the sky falls, you must remain calm so that you can judge the problem rationally."

"Father, are you saying that I have lost my rationality? I haven't. I am very rational now."

"If you are so impetuous, you will never achieve anything great." Shan Junren glared at his son, then looked at his anxious face, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Shan Yu was very unconvinced: "Father, Ye Yuanqing didn't plan to fight back at all. He was so passive that he lost the good situation. Huang Min now has a 70% to 80% chance of winning. If we lose, it will be the crime of genocide, father..."

"That's true." Shan Junren nodded, still very calm.

Shan Yu was confused: "Father? Exterminating the whole clan? Not exterminating the bugs."

"Father knows."

"Then why hasn't father made any plans yet?" Shanyu couldn't believe it. His father used to be the one who made all the plans, but now it seemed... he had given up resistance and just let it go.

Shan Junren put down the book in his hand and asked his son, "Shanyu, what do you want your father to do? Tell me."

"Father, there are only two urgent solutions. First! Ignore Ye Yuanqing and fight back ourselves. We will seize the opportunity and fight to the death!"

"The second type..."

Before Shan Yu finished speaking, Shan Junren whispered, "Should we surrender to the royal family and try to survive?"

Shanyu took a deep breath and then nodded: "Yes."

"Have you ever thought about what will happen after you surrender?"

“Alive.”
