The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 923: Chess player or chess piece?

Not going to Wolf God Mountain?

Jia Yao looked at Emperor Wen in surprise.

Wolf God Mountain is right in front of us, but Emperor Wen suddenly doesn't want to go to Wolf God Mountain?

This really surprised Jia Yao.

Emperor Wen has been thinking about it for so long, is he just compromising with himself?

It took a long time for Jia Yao to come back to his senses with difficulty.

"Your Majesty is afraid that going to Wolf God Mountain will irritate the people of Beihuan and affect Yun Zheng's plan of national integration?"

Jia Yao frowned and asked Emperor Wen.

"No."

Emperor Wen showed an unfathomable smile, "At this point, am I still afraid of provoking the soldiers and civilians of Beihuan?"

"Then why is His Majesty doing this?"

Jia Yao was even more confused.

"I think that if I can use my compromise with myself to make you learn to compromise with yourself, it might not be a bad thing."

Emperor Wen turned his head to look at Jia Yao and asked again: "Do you think that the national hatred and family feuds are as serious as you think?"

"Isn't it heavy?"

Jia Yao met Emperor Wen's gaze and asked back.

"Heavy, but not as heavy as you think."

Emperor Wen smiled to himself, "The common people of the world are actually the simplest!"

"For ordinary people, as long as they have a place to stay out of the wind and rain, three meals a day, and a little extra money to have a couple of drinks, they will be satisfied."

"As for whether they are from Beihuan or Daqian, do you think they really care that much?"

"Do you believe it or not? If I move all the people of Beihuan to the interior of Daqian, I can make most people forget about Beihuan within five years."

After listening to Emperor Wen's words, Jia Yao fell silent.

She did not doubt Emperor Wen's words.

If the people of Beihuan were allowed to live and work in peace and contentment in Daqian Pass for five years, many of them would indeed forget their identity as Beihuan people.

For many ordinary people, the interests of family and country are indeed not that important.

All the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment.

"Your Majesty does understand human nature."

Jia Yao was speechless and could only sigh.

"Isn't that the case with most people?"

Emperor Wen laughed and said earnestly: "Time can change many things! Take the people of Shuobei for example. Aren't their ancestors hundreds of years ago also foreigners to my Daqian?"

"And wasn't the territory of Beihuan still divided into pieces a hundred years ago?"

"Nowadays, how many people still care about which country their ancestors were from a hundred years ago?"

Jia Yao was speechless after being asked by Emperor Wen.

Because what Emperor Wen said was indeed true.

Time can indeed change a lot of things.

"call……"

Jia Yao exhaled a breath of foul air, "Although what His Majesty said is true, I'm afraid it won't convince Jia Yao."

"I never thought of convincing you."

Emperor Wen shook his head and said, "I just want you to understand that the change of dynasties is inevitable! A hundred years later, it is hard to say whether Daqian will still exist, let alone you Beihuan?"

Jia Yao smiled bitterly, "If Daqian is about to be destroyed, will His Majesty watch it?"

"of course not."

Emperor Wen answered frankly.

"If that's the case, why does Your Majesty bother to persuade Jia Yao?"

Jia Yao once again asked a soul-searching question.

"But I will make a choice!"

Emperor Wen looked calm, but suddenly asked inexplicably: "Can you play chess?"

"Playing chess?"

Jia Yao looked at Emperor Wen suspiciously and said, "If Your Majesty likes to play chess, Jia Yao can play a game with Your Majesty."

"I don't feel like playing chess with you right now." Emperor Wen shook his head and smiled, then continued to ask, "Do you prefer to be a chess piece or a chess player?"

Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Jia Yao fell into deep thought again.

Does this question still need an answer?

Of course she wanted to be a chess player.

I guess no normal person would want to be a pawn, right?

But Emperor Wen still asked her such a simple question.

She wanted to think about whether Emperor Wen's seemingly simple question had any deeper meaning.

However, Jia Yao thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Emperor Wen meant.

"Jiayao of course wants a chess player."

In the end, Jia Yao gave the simplest answer.

"Yeah! Who doesn't want to be a chess player?"

Emperor Wen sighed, and looked into the distance with burning eyes, "But there are very few chess players in this world. Most people are just chess pieces! Even if they become chess players, many people are failures. What do you think?"

"Yes!"

Jia Yao nodded gently, "But no matter what, a chess player is better than a chess piece after all."

"why?"

Emperor Wen asked even though he knew the answer.

Jia Yao was even more confused, and after a little thought, he answered: "Even if a chess player loses, he can still sit in front of the chessboard and play chess! However, the chess pieces have no choice but to let others manipulate them, and they don't know when they will disappear from the chessboard!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Wen smiled in agreement, "A chess player may not be able to control his own destiny, but he still has room for choice, but chess pieces have nothing!"

"I have told Lao Liu more than once that if he ascends the throne, you are the best candidate for the throne!"

"Do you want to be a failed chess player or a chess piece without even the chance to choose? You decide for yourself!"

After saying this, Emperor Wen left the hillside, leaving Jia Yao lost in thought.

He told Jia Yao everything he could.

It depends on Jiayao himself what choice to make.

As for the Wolf God Mountain, it’s better not to go there!

Taking a look from afar, it feels like the trip was not in vain.

Seeing Emperor Wen coming over, Yun Zheng and the others immediately went to meet him.

"Father, what did you say to Jiayao?"

Yun Zheng glanced at Jia Yao who was standing motionless on the hillside and asked Emperor Wen curiously.

Emperor Wen smiled casually, "Nothing, just asking her to think carefully about whether she wants to be a chess piece or a chess player."

Chess player?

piece?

Yun Zheng was a little puzzled.

Being a chess piece or a chess player, is this something that needs to be considered?

Any normal person would know what to choose, right?

"Let her think about it! Don't bother her!"

Emperor Wen gave some instructions and left.

Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately caught up with Emperor Wen, "Father, when will we set out to Wolf God Mountain?"

"not going!"

Emperor Wen turned around and looked at Wolf God Mountain with a complicated expression, "I am tired and too lazy to run over there again! Just taking a look from a distance is enough!"

"what?"

Yun Zheng and Qin Qihu screamed at the same time.

No...not going?

We have come this far, but Emperor Wen said he can’t go?

Isn't this a waste of time?

Yun Zheng complained silently in his heart, but soon understood Emperor Wen's intention.

This old guy also doesn't want to intensify the conflict between Beihuan and Daqian, so that his policy of national integration can proceed more smoothly, right?

It’s rare!

Having come this far, this old man actually resisted the urge to go to Wolf God Mountain!

I just don’t know what he said to Jia Yao.

Well, I must ask Jiayao about it later.

"Your Majesty, you really...really not going?"

Qin Qihu looked at Emperor Wen dumbfounded, "We have come all the way here, if we don't go, wouldn't it be too..."

Bang!

Before Qin Qihu could finish his words, Qin Liugan kicked him.

"If His Majesty says he won't go, then he won't go. Is it your turn to complain?"

Qin Liugan glared at Qin Qihu fiercely, "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will beat you to a pulp?"

"..."

Qin Qihu subconsciously shrank his neck and dared not say anything more...
