Chapter 722: Using the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman
"It takes time to modify the account books, or completely destroy the account books, or even destroy those businesses." Feng Danyuan said.
"What is the Yun family doing?" Wei Zi was surprised.
"It's not the Yun family, it's the tentacles stretching out from the Northern Territory." Feng Danyuan told Wei Zi the truth: "Since we found out that someone had done something dirty to Feng Danning's business, I asked people to pay attention to the Yun family.
A few transactions. In the past three days, their movements have become louder, and I have dealt with several groups of people."
"So, the emperor finally made up his mind?" Wei Zi asked.
"Well, the emperor didn't want to do something so extreme."
"There is a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time. Why is the emperor so doted on the Yun family?" Even the queen and Mrs. Feng scolded the Yun family for disregarding the country and the people as a member of the Yun family. As the king of a country, the emperor
Why have you been silent all this time?
"This matter begins with the founding of the country more than a hundred years ago. The head of the Yun family and the ancestor of the Feng family are brothers of the opposite sex. They conquered the country together. If nothing happens, the head of the Yun family, as the elder brother, will sit on the throne of the king.
....”
Wei Zi looked at Feng Danyuan in surprise.
He smiled and continued: "Actually, you should have guessed that in the end, the Feng family became the emperor, but the country's name was 'Yun', which shows that there must be a reason behind it. During the decisive battle, the head of the Yun family was the ancestor of the Feng family.
He was in danger, and although he finally saved his life, he could no longer stand up.
"The king of a country cannot be a disabled person, so the last emperor of the Yun Kingdom was named Ling Feng.
"The ancestors of the Feng family were grateful for the kindness of the head of the Yun family and promised two things: first, the queen of the Feng family must come from the Yun family. If there is no suitable woman of the Yun family, she will be selected from other aristocratic families; second,
That is to hand over several businesses related to the foundation of Yun State to the Yun family.
"In this way, the two of them have fulfilled their vow to conquer the world together and govern the country together.
"After the head of the Yun family took over the salt and iron affairs, he wrote the will. One copy was kept for himself, and the other was given to the ancestors of the Feng family. More than ten years later, the head of the Yun family was critically ill, and the ancestors of the Feng family were sad.
Unwilling to win, when the head of the Yun family was dying, he burned the will and left an oath: As long as the Feng family reigns, the Yun family will enjoy glory forever."
Wei Zi couldn't help but said: "Burned?"
Feng Danyuan nodded: "Burn it. My grandmother doesn't know about this either, only every emperor knows about it."
Wei Zi was silent.
The story of deep brotherhood told by Feng Danyuan is very touching, but when this happened to two people at the pinnacle of power, it was not that simple.
Seeing that Wei Zi didn't speak, Feng Danyuan said: "Just say what you want to say. There is no need to have any worries between you and me."
Wei Zi thought for a moment and then spoke out what was in his heart: "The Yun family has agreed to a one-hundred-year term because this commitment must have a deadline. Within a hundred years, if the children of the Yun family work hard, they will be able to establish a firm foothold and create a new world;
On the contrary, if the descendants are unfilial, even if it takes a thousand years, they will eventually come to an end.
"Fengshi burned the will because it doesn't matter whether he or she is the lord of a country, the whole world belongs to Fengshi. Fengshi is willing to keep that promise because Fengshi values love and justice; if Fengshi goes back on his word, then it will naturally be the same.
Yun's is not.
"Perhaps I'm using my villain's heart to judge a gentleman. As you said, the Emperor is fond of the Yun family because he remembers the promise made a hundred years ago. It's also because the Feng family and the Yun family have long been connected by blood and cannot be separated.
