Canglan Empress

Chapter 21 Part 2
"I believe what Aiqing said." Jimo Lingtian said, his tone softened a little, "But I don't understand why Aiqing wants to get rid of her father? In my opinion, although the Huangfu family is not as good as Ouyang and Mu's The family is powerful, but it is still a family of generals that should not be underestimated, without the protection of the family, Ai Qing thinks she can be safe?"

"Asylum?" Xuanyin smiled, his expression was just right to reveal a bit of sadness and self-deprecation, as well as a bit of irony, "How much protection does the emperor think my father will provide to my ministers?"

Jimo Lingtian was silent when he heard the words.

"The Huangfu family has two sons, the eldest son is grass, and the second son is treasure." Xuanyin said lightly, "The minister's mother was forced to lose her original wife's status by the concubine's room, and now she is reduced to the point where even the servants in the mansion Being able to belittle and bully at will, I don't count on my father anymore, I just want to use my own ability to make my mother no longer suffer."

Perhaps it was because Xuanyin was born with a talent for acting, the emperor couldn't help but feel sad when he said these words, moved by his filial piety, and really angry by Huangfu Zonghan's frivolity.

Although he himself is a romantic son, and knows that there are many beautiful concubines in the backyards of civil and military courts in the Manchu Dynasty, but letting the concubines persecute the original spouse, and even the maids in the mansion can bully the mistress of the house-this is obviously not enough. A little too much.

If there is no way to govern the family, how can we talk about governing the country?

After a moment of silence, Jimo Lingtian said calmly: "No matter how many parents are wrong, children can't criticize them at will."

This sentence is obviously just a superficial article, not a real reprimand.

So Xuanyin curled the corners of her lips indifferently, and did not answer.

"I will keep my promise and promote you to be a first-rank general protecting the country. The golden seal with a purple ribbon shows that you will not kneel." Jimo Lingtian said, picking up a gold order from the imperial case and throwing it in front of Xuanyin, "There is this side Token, your father didn't dare to go too far with you."

Xuanyin was not polite either, she directly picked up the token and looked at it, and tied it around her waist calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Having said one thing, there is another.

Jimo Lingtian's tone was a little cold: "The Queen and Concubine Shu really betrothed the princess to you?"

"I don't dare to deceive the emperor." Xuanyin nodded, "There is indeed such a thing."

"You should know the power of the empress and concubine Shu." Jimo Lingtian raised his eyes, staring at the young man's expression, "If you are attached to any of them, and the second prince or the fourth prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, you will have meritorious service from the dragon. Wealth is not a problem..."

"Your Majesty." Xuanyin casually interrupted him, not worried about Long Yan's displeasure, "At this time, there are only the Emperor and the minister in the imperial study, and the minister will not speak official language or flattery. "

Jimo Lingtian smiled lightly: "Ai Qing can speak bluntly."

"What the emperor said just now, I think it makes sense. If one of the second prince and the fourth prince can become emperor, then all his subordinates will have the merit of following the dragon. But if they are on the wrong team, then what is waiting for them will be Murder."

Xuanyin's tone was flat, neither fast nor slow, and every word was orderly.

Slightly raising her eyes to look at the emperor, Xuanyin continued calmly: "The chances of being rich and powerful and of being decapitated are each half. Why should I gamble on this half? He was escorted to Xingcaishikou."
