After all, he was the Prime Minister, and when Huangfu Yan told the good news, Lian Jinqing's mind had already gone through countless twists and turns.
The princess is pregnant and the prince has a successor. This is not only a family matter, but also a major event in the court!
For so many years, the Lian family has been forced into a very passive situation. The emperor does not like the prince and values the second prince. But after all, the emperor is not a fool, and he still wants to use the Lian family. The Lian family was once a role model for civil servants in the world.
The old master of the Lian family has disciples all over the world, and many civil servants in the imperial court have received the guidance of the old master of the Lian family. The Yangshan Academy of the Lian family in his hometown in southern Shanxi is the largest academy in the entire empire. Although it is now a branch of the Lian family,
The disciples are in charge, but in the end they all respect Lian Jinqing, the direct descendant. And there are countless students who go to Yangshan Academy to study every year. The selection of officials in the imperial kingdom is mostly based on recommendation, and then the emperor personally meets and selects them. Therefore, the officials of the entire imperial kingdom are
, at least half of them came from Yangshan Academy.
It is true that the direct branch of the Lian family has lost its connections, but this does not affect the status of the Lian family in the family at all, and its position in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
The emperor had to use the Lian family, so he would not touch the Lian family. Even if he no longer wanted Huangfu Yan to be the prince, he could not just find an excuse to abolish him.
So the current situation is that the emperor still needs the Lian family and will not cause trouble to the Lian family. Even if he is determined to depose the prince, he will not touch the Lian family. But once the emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be different.
The emperor's princes are not economical. Huangfu Yan has occupied the position of prince for so many years. If he wants to die, the brothers will fight with blood. Regarding this account, no matter which prince ascends the throne,
You won't just let it go so easily. No matter how important the family is, you are only important when the emperor values you. Once the emperor is cruel and wants to deal with you, it will be useless no matter how influential you are.
As soon as Huangfu Yan fell, the Lian family almost fell.
It's unclear whether he can save his life, let alone the family's prosperity.
Lian Jinqing knows this better than anyone else. So over the years, he, the prince and the queen have all maintained a common tacit understanding, that is, they always keep a distance on the surface, but behind the scenes, they have already prepared a retreat.
All I ask for is that I can leave some blood to the Lian family when the time comes.
Unless the prince ascends the throne, this situation cannot be broken.
But the possibility of the prince ascending to the throne is too small. Even if he comes forward to unite with important ministers, he may not be able to stabilize the prince's position.
This is reality. No matter how important the ancestral rituals and laws are, they cannot be more important than the country. If the prince insists on succeeding to the throne, the prince will not live for a few years, and the final result can only lead to civil strife. Now that the four kingdoms are in power and the empire is in chaos, everyone around them will decide
Will take advantage of the situation to rob.
To put it more seriously, people will not be able to make a living at that time.
Lian Jinqing was not only Huangfu Yan's uncle, but also a role model for scholars in the world. The leader of civil servants could not risk the safety of the people in the world for his own selfish interests.
It is true that the emperor has selfish motives, but the current reality is that the prince's body cannot handle the important task.
Although Lian Jinqing knew how smart his nephew was, not to mention the current emperor, even the princes put together may not be worth one-tenth of Huangfu Yan. Unfortunately, he lost because of his body.
