Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 301

Xiao Wenqing took the suicide note and read it at a glance, her eyebrows slightly frowned.In his father's suicide note, it was stated that Yuxuan's biological mother was the daughter of the Mo family in Dingbei. The emperor killed the father and son of the Mo family because of guilt, and asked Yuxuan, the grandson of the Mo family, to adopt him to the Mo family.This is not in line with traditional customs.Generally, the adoptive heirs are the children and grandchildren of the brothers of the same clan. If they adopt a child of a foreign surname, the child of a foreign surname cannot be more than three years old.Yuxuan is 28 this year, can he succeed in the past?Although there is no one in the Mo family in the capital, there must still be many men in the Mo family. They are more suitable than Yu Xuan to succeed General Mo.

"Since the emperor knows it, it's not a secret that can't be told. Why did father keep hiding it from me until his death?" Ling Yuxuan said sadly.

According to the suicide note, the Northwest Houmo General who was posthumously named by the emperor was his grandfather, and his biological mother was the youngest daughter of his grandfather. Because she was ill at birth, his grandmother believed the fortune-teller and sent her to a foster family. In the homes of civilians.

When an accident happened in the Mo family, his biological mother escaped the catastrophe and began to look for opportunities for justice.His biological mother thought that his father could help her and didn't care that he was over forty and devoted himself to him. However, his father thought that the relationship between the DPRK and China was complicated, and the road to redress was difficult and might involve himself, so he was unwilling to provide help.His biological mother left his father because of this, and then died of dystocia.General Long knew about his biological mother and him, and even handed him over to his father to raise him after losing his mother.Everyone knows what happened afterwards. With the efforts of General Long and some people in the government and the opposition, General Mo was rehabilitated.

Xiao Wenqing pondered for a while, and persuaded softly: "The general will inevitably suffer casualties when he goes into battle. Father is worried about your safety. He must hope that you will choose a suitable time to talk to you after you have a son. Does the court need the descendants of God of War to come out and gather?" The emperor must be hesitant about the former Ministry of War God." As the ruler, the emperor certainly does not want the army to be concentrated in the hands of a few generals other than him.God of War has been dead for 30 years now, and the old minions he followed were basically people in their 60s and [-]s, most of whom had families, so they may not be loyal to the descendants of God of War.

"Maybe it's like this." Ling Yuxuan sighed.Seeing Xin'an and Xinning come in with hot water, they went to the locker room first.

After reading the suicide note, Xiao Wenqing always had a doubt in her heart: Judging from the appearance, Yuxuan has no similarities with his father, third brother, and Jingquan. Is Yuxuan really his father's son?Which father would be willing to give his incomparably excellent son to another family?I am sorry for my ancestors by doing this!Yuxuan's face is similar to those of the royal family. Could it be that his father took the blame for a certain prince?

For... the emperor!
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Xiao Wenqing's mind, and his heart suddenly became enlightened.Only the emperor would make the prime minister willing to take the blame for more than [-] years, even neglecting his own children and grandchildren.

Yuxuan does not have the status of a prince, and his partial military power will not threaten the succession of the orthodox prince; Yuxuan, as the grandson of the Mo family with a foreign surname, will succeed the Mo family, and the support rate of the Mo family will not be too high, and the support rate in the old Mo family will not be too high. Gao: The emperor has favored him and reused him. Judging from Yuxuan's character, even if he has a large amount of military power, he will not have the heart of rebellion; Even if he succeeds, he is still a man with royal blood.Therefore, with such multiple identities, the emperor is more at ease in using him, and will definitely reveal a little bit of Yuxuan's true identity to his cronies or heirs before his death.

He is not as smart as the emperor's family, and the prime minister is also trembling and dare not reveal more secrets to Yu Xuan who has been raising him for more than [-] years!

Xiao Wenqing looked at Ling Yuxuan who looked tired and went to the dressing room next door to change, and decided not to reveal anything in her heart, so as not to add to Yuxuan's troubles.

When the old prime minister passed away suddenly, the emperor was sad for his old friend and stopped the court for two days to let the officials come to offer condolences, and even sent the sixth prince, Prince Rui, to offer condolences.The eyes of Ling's mansion were full of white, and there was an endless stream of officials and family members who came to express their condolences.

The mourning hall was covered with white cloth, and behind the black curtain, Prime Minister Ling's body had been put into the red lacquered sandalwood coffin, and the coffin lid had not yet been nailed.On the right in front of the curtain of the mourning hall, Ling Yuxuan, Ling Jingquan, and Ling Yulou knelt by the altar and thanked every group of officials who came to express their condolences. Behind them were Ling Jinghai and Ling Jingyuan.Ling Jingwen, the youngest son of the third bedroom, and Xiaoxiao, the eldest son of the fourth bedroom, were still infants and could not kneel down to their grandfather in the mourning hall.The female family members washed their makeup and powdered their hair, wore wooden hairpins and linen cloth, and knelt on the left side in a filial piety, and the widow of the prime minister led the weeping spirit.

The whole Ling Mansion cried continuously, and those who heard it wept.

Prime Minister Ling's last words are still unknown to outsiders, and everyone regards Ling Yuxuan as the next head of the Ling family.Ling Yulou knew that Ling Jingquan still couldn't control the scene, and asked Ling Yuxuan not to tell the truth for the time being.

On July 49, a group of monks beat drums and chanted scriptures every day, and their servants burned incense and paper to the prime minister day and night. Three adult men from the Ling family took turns to watch the coffin, and the female relatives cried three times a day.

On February [-], the Ling family held a funeral.During the funeral, Ling Yuxuan led the children and grandchildren of the Ling family to kneel in front of the coffin. When the master of ceremonies brought the earthen basin for him to smash, he said to Ling Jingquan, "You come." The chosen heir can only be done by the eldest grandson in the genealogy.

Ling Jingquan had already been repeatedly emphasized by his grandmother and parents that he was the eldest grandson, and he did not refuse upon hearing this, and said to Ling Yuxuan, "Fourth Uncle, I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, he reached out and took the earthen basin in the master of ceremonies' hands, raised it high and viciously fall down.

"Crack." The pot fell to the ground, and it instantly fell apart.

The master of ceremonies saw that it was the late Prime Minister Ling's eldest grandson who was performing the mourning ceremony, and immediately knew who was the heir of the Ling family, so he respectfully handed the white flag and streamer to Ling Jingquan, the filial son of the mourner, "grandson" and shouted: "Get up!" Ling——" The mourning family went to the funeral.

The deacon who was half a mile long proved Prime Minister Ling’s final achievements. The mighty funeral procession showed the prosperity of the Ling family.

Prime Minister Ling's coffin was transported to a shady hillside at the foot of Phoenix Mountain on the outskirts of the capital, where the Ling family's ancestral graveyard was located.The luxurious double tomb was built as early as 20 years ago, and people come to repair it every year, and now it finally welcomes the male owner.After the coffins were transported into the tomb, the tombs were temporarily closed and guarded by the guards sent by the Ling Mansion, and they would not be completely sealed until the old lady passed away and was buried in it.
