Chapter 400: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 4

Nian Shilan knew very well that it was impossible for Nian Gengyao to give up his fame and success as an ambitious man. She also had no intention of changing Nian Gengyao's career, but she believed that he had to grasp the proper limits in being an official.

After Nian Gengyao had persuaded Nian Shilan to calm down, he heard his "unreasonable" sister say very boldly: "Second brother, do you think the title of General Nian is better or the title of King Yi Zi Bing Xiang is better?"

"!!!!!!"

My sister, do you know what you are talking about?

Nian Gengyao was already shocked. How could someone of Nian Shilan's status say such a thing? Their Nian family was only a Han army flag, in other words, they were Han people. In this court dominated by Manchus, they were not even qualified to be the legal wife.

The Emperor had so many princes, but he only conferred the title of prince on less than five of them. How could a mere military officer of the Han army flag, like him, become a king on equal terms with the emperor?

"Don't say that carelessly. If someone hears it, your entire family will be executed!"

"Don't worry, second brother, no one will hear it." Because the entire Nian family is already within the range of his spiritual sense monitoring.

"Second brother, Shilan is not kidding you anymore. According to the dream, Prince Yong will definitely take the throne in the future."

"Although he is not a good person and will betray me in the future, that is partly because you, my second brother, are too casual about formalities and trust Prince Yong too much."

"If you can be careful not to let Prince Yong catch any evidence against you, as long as Prince Yong wants to win over our Nian family, the position of general will definitely be yours."

"He doesn't want my Nian family to have another prince. He simply believes that my Nian family is completely under his control. In addition, the Defei in the palace wants the Nian family to switch to the Fourteenth Prince, so he deliberately tries to sow discord."

"Since you can know everything in advance in this life, why not follow this path to avoid traps and seize opportunities later."

"'Change! Dynasty!'"

Obviously, what Nian Gengyao said were all treasonous words that made him tremble with fear, but for some reason, the four words "change of dynasty" kept echoing in Nian Gengyao's mind, like the sound of the morning bell in a temple, breaking through the clouds and falling straight into his heart.

Songzhi on the side was completely dumbfounded. She didn’t know if her ears were broken. Why couldn’t she help but get excited even though she couldn’t understand anything?

Songzhi was a child born in the Nian family. Her mother died during childbirth. When she was five or six years old, she was chosen to be Nian Shilan's personal maid. Not long after, her father remarried. From then on, Songzhi had no home, and only Nian Shilan was her home.

Although Nian Shilan had a hot temper when she was a girl, she was not violent. She would never yell at her servants at will and she treated human life as worthless. It was Prince Yong's tutor who changed her, and it was Prince Yong's "exclusive favor" that killed her.

Now Songzhi only has Miss Nian Shilan in her heart. Although she knows that the Miss and the Second Young Master are talking about treason, she is not afraid. She is only touched by the Miss's trust in her.

"Hi~his~his~"

Nian Gengyao was panicked for a long time before he could barely calm his surging heart. He had to admit that Nian Shilan's goal really made him yearn for it.

"Shilan, tell me what your plan is. I will listen to you."

Noticing the change in Nian Gengyao's attitude, Nian Shilan frowned in surprise and became suspicious, but then she thought that this should be a good thing for her, so she decided to deal with Nian Gengyao first and then find out the reason.

"The results of the selection in the dream have been determined, which means that not only Prince Yong, but even the emperor is actually inclined to tie the Nian family to Prince Yong's power."

"Now that you know this, you should not be too repulsive to Prince Yong. You should also pay attention to the attitude of the bannermen towards the banner master. As for Prince Yong's solicitation, you don't need to be too eager. Just be loyal to the emperor in your political attitude. Don't give Prince Yong the right signal."

"I want to see if Prince Yong, who has never received support from the Nian family, will abort the Nian family's child."

After Nian Shilan said this, Nian Gengyao naturally understood that the one who is rushing to do something is not a good deal. Since it is Prince Yong who is begging the Nian family, the Nian family naturally does not need to be too enthusiastic. Even if the Nian family is Prince Yong's subordinate, it will not work. Even if they are his subordinates, they cannot compare to the emperor in power.

The Nian family in the dream was too straightforward, which made Prince Yong feel "secure" and not afraid of the Nian family's decline. In order to prevent the Nian family from becoming too powerful in the future, he even took precautions in advance and did not allow the Nian family to have children.

"When Prince Yong ascends the throne, our Nian family will naturally be loyal to him as the new king."

"But even so, I don't think our Nian family will be able to get the title of a king who is as good as the king."

He is a king of a different surname, and a prince at that. How could the Aisin-Gioro family be willing to give it to the Nian family?

"Sister, are you planning to have the prince of the Nian family ascend the throne and then divide the fiefdoms?"

Nian Gengyao guessed that Nian Shilan wanted to be the queen mother, then ask her father and brother to be the king's uncle, and then give herself the title of co-king. However, he did not expect Nian Shilan to shake her head.

"Why must the throne be handed over to the descendants of the Aisin-Gioro clan?"

She, Nian Shilan, was going to be an empress in this life! Give birth to a child? Or give birth to a child for Yinzhen, a hypocritical, cold-hearted and selfish man? Raise this child with the blood of her enemy with untold hardships, send him to the throne, and then watch him start to be suspicious of the Nian family and herself like his father, and finally turn against herself and the Nian family?

Why bother? She, Nian Shilan, obviously has the ability and means to do it. What she lacks is just the opportunity and recognition. Why can't she do it?

Be it lingering on or bowing down, how could it be safer to protect the Nian family than to become the new emperor and make the Nian family the new royal family?

Anyway, this is just a world of film and television dramas, and no matter how it changes, it will not affect the course of history.

"what?"

Nian Gengyao thought he was hallucinating. What did it mean to give it to the descendants of Aixinjueluo? Wouldn't the child born from his Nian family woman's belly also have the blood of his family members flowing in it?

"Brother, what do you think about me being the queen?"

Although Nian Shilan's question was a question, Nian Gengyao could sense her endless ambition and confidence. He wanted to say no, but his dry throat made it impossible for him to make any sound. He could only swallow his saliva with difficulty, and then trembled and confirmed: "Shilan, you don't want to rebel, do you?!"

"No, no, rebellion is too costly and laborious."

How can you rebel? This world is a relatively stable world after all. If you rebel, you don't know how much karma you will be tainted with, which will be a fatal blow to the path of merit.

"Brother, do you still remember how Empress Wu changed from being a talented woman to becoming Wu Zetian? I just need to follow her path."

There is a ready-made example right there in the history books. Can't we just copy it ourselves?

"Wu Zetian!"
