Great Danger at the State Banquet [8]
He respectfully bowed to the old man and said loudly: “Third Royal Uncle, in our Bei Mu Royal Family, you are our senior. Today, please speak with justice.
My heart is only loyal to Bei Mu. Heaven and earth can be witness to this.
Now, when Empress Dowager Xiao is heavily injured, her mind is muddled and she made a mistake in her imperial edict. Although her heart is loyal to Bei Mu, how can outsiders be easily trusted? How can we let outsiders gain control of our country? This country was established by our Yelu family and a few big clans of Bei Mu, using blood and countless life.
It absolutely cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.
With all my heart, I, Yelu Ji, would not hesitate to recommend myself. When I become the Regent, I, Yelu Ji, will go through fire and water for Bei Mu. I will cut through all the obstacles for the emperor of Bei Mu by taking care of Bei Mu for a few years.
When the emperor of Bei Mu becomes an adult, I will immediately return the throne without any hesitation.
Of course, if Third Royal Uncle and the other officials have a better candidate, I will not hesitate. As long as that person is loyal to Bei Mu and a citizen of Bei Mu, I, Yelu Ji, will not oppose it.
But if you are an outsider, then even if I have to go to hell and risk my life to become a traitor, I will definitely not allow that to happen.” With these words, Yelu Ji was practically impassioned.
After a series of intense speeches by Yelu Ji, some of the officials were supportive, some were in deep thoughts, and some remained calm and collected.
Even though his words were beautiful, but only strength is the most reliable.
Following the end of Yelu Ji’s words, the eldest of the royal family, the Third Royal Uncle, pondered for a moment before speaking in an extremely slow voice: “These words make sense.
Back then, Empress Dowager Xiao was in charge of the imperial government. As the Empress of the previous emperor and the mother of our current Bei Mu emperor, naturally, there is no need to doubt her.
However, if it’s an outsider, this… ”
Before he could finish, Liu Yue suddenly waved her hand, interrupting the Third Royal Uncle. She smiled and said, “No need to say anymore. I understand what you mean.”
“In any case, it’s just that I’m an outsider. Bei Mu doesn’t care if someone is virtuous and wise, doesn’t care if he or she is capable. It only matters what that person’s surname and what their background is. Only then can they climb to the position of power. This prince understands now.”
