Chapter 146
Thoughts flowed rapidly, and within a moment, Yin Ling understood the old emperor's true intentions.

To him, to the empress, to the world, and to the country, I have made contributions and benevolence.

Needless to say.

Not to mention.

That's why Zhao Zhen only told Zhao Zongquan that Yin Lin and sixteen followers had rescued him, but didn't mention the details. This is Zhao Zhen's cleverness.

If it is too detailed, then Yin Ling's meritorious deeds worth one million will surely spread to the public. By that time, this overwhelming contribution, the most powerful in ancient and modern times, will make Yin Ling a god of war in the world.

But Da Song doesn't need a god.

They only need the emperor, and a Zhao family who controls the world is enough.

However, such a life-saving grace, but you have to say it, because if you don't say it, then the heart of the hero will be chilled, and you will save you from the rebels' forced palace with all your might, and you don't mention a word?
This is not in line with Zhao Zhen's personality, and he will not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

So Zhao Zhen, just let Zhao Zongquan remember that Yin Ling saved him, that's enough, how to save him is not important.

If Zhao Zongquan ascends the throne in the future and Yin Ling repays his kindness, Zhao Zongquan will use his own way to face Yin Ling.

For the merit of saving you, we will not hesitate to reward you, make you a high official, and give you land, but... if you are not satisfied, then you are a traitor and traitor, and all achievements are fake!
This is why, Zhao Zhen must let Zhao Zongquan call Yin Bing in from outside the palace, because he wants Zhao Zongquan and Yin Bing to build a relationship between monarch and minister, and tell Zhao Zongquan that Yin Bing can be used, but he should use it with caution , there should be some, there should not be, there cannot be!

As for Minglan.

She indeed blocked an arrow for the queen. Although Yin Ling was in the way, if she didn't have this awareness, Yin Ling couldn't push her in front of the queen, right?

For this kindness, Zhao Zhen and the queen kept it in their hearts.

However, with the status of an emperor, of course, he is not just thinking about the kindness that ordinary people remember.

He asked Zhao Zongquan to adopt Minglan as his adopted daughter, so that when Zhao Zongquan becomes emperor in the future, Minglan can be regarded as an imperial daughter no matter what, and at the very least, she should also be granted the title of "county head". Treat her with courtesy", the little girl's identity and life in the future will not be bad.

The kindness of helping the queen block an arrow, such a reward is big enough.

But Zhao Zhen still has a back hand.

The purpose of bestowing Ming Lan on Yin Rong was to make Yin Rong and Zhao Zongquan the nominal "sons-in-law". In this way, it was equivalent to imposing a seal of "identity" on Yin Rong.

If you join the army and create chaos, the people of the world will cast aside you, saying that you have ruined your father-in-law's foundation and robbed your father-in-law's throne!

If you do that, the hearts of the people will be lost. Even if you have invincible bravery, you will not be able to escape the mouth of the world. Even if you snatch the Zhao family's throne, that seat...you will not be able to sit still!
Everyone in the world will attack you!
This is Zhao Zhen's ultimate goal.

He has seen Yin Rong's loyalty, and he has also seen Yin Rong's horror. He thinks that if he can still live, Yin Rong will still maintain his loyalty, but if he dies, Yin Rong will not care who Zhao Zongquan is!

Therefore, while he rewarded Yin Ling, these rewards will soon become the shackles on Yin Ling.

The heavier the reward, the heavier the shackles.

Throughout the ages, no emperor who sat firmly on the throne was called an ungrateful person.

Oh, of course, Taizu doesn't count, it was forced by his subordinates, he didn't want to.

And at that time, the Hou Zhou was in chaos, it was in accordance with the sky, it was different.

This is Zhao Zhen's inner thoughts.

Three people, two rewards, not only full of kindness, but also gained leeway.

But he never imagined that Yin Ling is not the pawn he can control on the chessboard, but...

A spine protruding from the chessboard.

"Oh, are you afraid that I will rebel..."

As a person who has been an emperor longer than Zhao Zhen, Yin Ling couldn't help chuckling when he thought of this, "There are many ways to rebel, but with all your hard work, it's still not enough..."

Even though he thought so in his heart, he couldn't refuse this marriage proposal.

If you refuse, don't say it is disrespectful...

Thinking of this, Yin Ling looked at Minglan. Why did the hope in the little girl's eyes look so confusing at this moment?

Ugh.

Yin Ling sighed again in his heart.

Now that the old emperor said this, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, if she resisted the decree and refused to marry, not to mention Ming Lan's mental breakdown, it would also have a great blow to her reputation.

The official family has given you a marriage, but someone risked his head not to marry you, then...

Who dares to marry?

But if Minglan is married according to the decree, what will Rulan do?
Although Yin Ling doesn't care who is the "big lady", but in this era, this kind of thing cannot be changed by you alone, even if you really become the emperor, that won't work.

He originally thought that when Yan Yun's foundation was stabilized, he would bring all the girls there. At that time, as long as they were willing, no one would be able to criticize him.

But now, things are developing so fast that even he himself has no time to react.

For a moment, a dilemma was placed in front of him.

"What? You don't want to?"

Seeing that Yin Ling was silent for a while, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Zongquan the same sentence just now, and asked it again.

Yin Ling glanced at Minglan, and saw that there was a trace of panic in her eyes, and her face turned pale.

Zhao Zhen said again at this time: "The prince's adopted daughter is good enough for you, why don't you want to?"

Yin Ling sighed, stood up, and bowed deeply to Zhao Zhen: "Mr., thank you, the official."

Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile on his face, and said: "A talented man and a beautiful woman are a good story. After the crown prince and the Sheng family agree, the Ministry of Rites can choose a good and auspicious day for you to marry Ming girl."

Yin Ling nodded, but did not speak.

They just walked in front of Minglan, took her catkin, stood back in front of Zhao Zhen, and bowed together.

Minglan felt the warmth of Yin Lin's palm, and her heart was infinitely charming. Since her little mother passed away, except for falling asleep in her grandmother's arms when she was a child, she hadn't felt such a sense of security for a long time.

After bowing, she quietly raised her eyes and looked at Yin Ling's side face, feeling as if she was drunk.

However, Yin Ling felt a little disappointed in his heart.

If it is said that he has no intentions towards Minglan, it is absolutely impossible, but the news of his engagement with Minglan by the imperial decree has reached Rulan's ears, and I don't know what kind of scene it will be.

It's a pity that even if he has a problem, he still has no experience in this kind of Shura field.

In his previous life, Yuan Ying would have helped him deal with everything.

Although Minglan manages the family well, compared to Yuanying, her domineering and methods are still a little immature.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Yin Ling comforted himself in this way, the old emperor's conspiracy, no matter what, he had to take it first.
