Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 307

Filial piety is the foundation of virtue.After Prime Minister Ling's funeral was over, according to Daqing's ancient customs, the man who was an official in the Ling family wanted Ding You, and the Ling family banned all celebrations for three years.Ling Jingquan is a minor official, leaving Ding You will not lose much. Ling Yulou is currently You Shaoqing of Dali Temple. After three years, Ding You does not know whether he can return to his original official position.Since ancient times, military general Ding You has not been dismissed from his official position, and he has been given a hundred days of leave.Ling Yuxuan only needs to be at home after a hundred days of worry.

Ding Youzhi's people are not allowed to go out, but there are always things that must go out.Ling Yuxuan is at home, Ding You, practicing martial arts with the guards every day, riding horses to practice horse battles, studying military books hard, and preparing for inheriting the Mo family's ancestral business in the future.The emperor sent an eunuch to Ling's mansion, saying that the emperor announced him into the palace.

The emperor ordered that the courtiers have to go even if there is a fire at home.Ling Yuxuan took off the filial piety clothes on his body, washed himself up, put on the plain white attire he wore when he went out secretly that day, and entered the palace with the little eunuch.

In the imperial study room, the increasingly old emperor first comforted Ling Yuxuan, and then asked: "Since your father has told you the real life experience, when do you plan to succeed the Mo family in Dingbei and inherit the incense of the Mo family?" Prime Minister Ling passed away. Within a month, the court had a new prime minister.

Ling Yuxuan cupped his hands and bowed, "Your Majesty, I plan to inherit my grandfather's family in three years." In the past three years, the third brother and Jingquan have needed Ding You, and they may not be able to return to their posts after three years. The old servant wished that he would immediately announce the adoption of the Mo family. He, who has not had Ding You for three years, decided to support the Ling family first.

"Yuxuan, I am only five years younger than the old prime minister." The skinny old emperor stroked the sparse white beard under his chin, "I hope you will succeed the Mo family as soon as possible."

"The emperor has been in good health from last year to this year, please don't say anything that worries the ministers." Ling Yuxuan hurriedly said.

The emperor said with emotion: "You shout long live the emperor every day, but from ancient times to the present, how many emperors have lived past seventy? I don't have much time."

He originally thought that he would only live to be in his sixties, so even though the crown prince had many dislikes, he didn't intend to touch him.Unexpectedly, the face-to-face Taoist of Qinghe could live beyond the life of Emperor Taizong, "Emperor Taizong passed away at seventy", so he believed it and began to re-select an heir.He has secretly selected his successor, and is creating various tasks to test him, increase his political ability, and give him the opportunity to display his talents and gain the support of the ministers.In the past few months, there have been frequent reports of secret military information at the northwest border of Daqing. The Beichuan Kingdom has recruited new soldiers for several years, and there may be a big move. He decided to increase troops at the border and prepare for war.

"Your Majesty, you are too worried." Ling Yuxuan had no choice but to comfort the Emperor in this way.

The emperor took a sip of the health-preserving tea prepared for him by the Imperial Hospital, and said, "I have heard from General Long that Mrs. Ling forced you to move out of Ling's mansion. You are repairing the Mohist mansion I gave you before. Move in, don’t you?” General Zhen Guo urged him twice.

Ling Yuxuan cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Hmm." The emperor thought for a while, and said: "Let Qin Tianjian choose a good day in May, and I will send General Zhen Guo, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Minister of the Ministry of Rites to preside over the ceremony of recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan."

"Your Majesty..." Ling Yuxuan said in astonishment, it was too urgent.

"You will recognize your ancestors as the posthumous son of the late Prime Minister Ling Yu and the eldest son of Dingbeihou Mo Tianxiang, and change your name to Mo Yuxuan. The Marquis of Dingbei will be inherited for three generations. In a few days after coming back, I will resign from the positions of the commander of the Dragon Scale Guard and the secret agent of the Qinglong, and go to the Phoenix Army Camp to serve as the Deputy Commander of the Left Army." The emperor said, directly stating his new appointment to Ling Yuxuan in the future, and removing him from the guards. He was transferred from a third-rank military officer to a second-rank military officer in the army outside the capital.

Ling Yuxuan had no choice but to bow his hands and thank En, saying: "Since the emperor has made a decision, I will obey the order." The emperor is in a hurry to send him out?
"Your son hasn't been named yet, right?" the satisfied emperor asked gently.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my late father said he wanted to give his grandson a good name, but he passed away suddenly before he had decided." Ling Yuxuan said sadly.

"Since the old prime minister has not had time to name your eldest son, I will give him a name." The emperor thought for a while, and said, "Mo Yunlin, this name is good."

"My servant kowtows to thank the emperor for giving me the name." Ling Yuxuan knelt down to thank him.

The emperor showed a satisfied smile on his skinny face, and then rewarded some gifts suitable for children for Ling Yuxuan to take back, and told him that when he was free, he would bring the child in for him to have a look.

"Has the emperor given Xiaoxiao a name?" Xiao Wenqing who was holding Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.She is teaching Xiaoxiao to know the daily household items at home, and Xiaoxiao shows great interest.

"Mo Yunlin." Ling Yuxuan said with a bitter smile, "I will change to Mo Yuxuan in the future and remove it from the Ling family's family tree." Because Xiaoxiao hasn't got a name yet, she hasn't entered the Ling family's family tree yet, so it's good now , After he succeeded the Mo family, his son's name was directly included in the Mo family tree.

"The black unicorn in the clouds, Xiaoxiao's name is very good." Xiao Wenqing stretched out his fingers and tapped Xiaoxiao's upturned little nose, and called out with a smile, "Mo Yunlin, Mo Yunlin. Lin'er, Lin'er."

Knowing that her mother was teasing her, Xiaoxiao giggled and grabbed Xiao Wenqing's finger and put it in her mouth.

"Xiaoxiao, dirty fingers, don't eat indiscriminately." Xiao Wen taught softly, and handed Xiaoxiao to Ling Yuxuan.Yunlin, Yun is the surname of the royal family, did the emperor name Yunlin for Yuxuan's son, did it confirm her guess that Yuxuan was the emperor's illegitimate son, and Prime Minister Ling kept blaming the emperor?
Ling Yuxuan took Xiaoxiao over, lifted him over his head, and said, "Xiaoxiao, ride a horse." He likes to train his son's courage.
