He didn't listen to a word of what his father said, but he couldn't refute it, so he shut up.
Liu Jing saw this in his eyes and said sincerely: "I am doing it for your own good. It is not easy to fight in the officialdom. If you want to rise to the top without any background, how can there be such a good thing?"
Just like himself.
If a candidate from another country hadn't married a girl from the Duke of Fuguo's palace, how could he be able to become the Minister of Honglu Temple given his age and qualifications?
Around Qianbu Corridor, the top leaders of the Five Temples and Six Ministries have either been working in the court for ten or twenty years longer than him, or they have rich family backgrounds and have outstanding elders in front of them.
But Liu Jing still had complaints.
After the old man married his daughter, he really turned a blind eye and didn't care about his son-in-law at all.
His achievements today are all due to his own hard work and hard work, as well as the spontaneous help from others for Xu Mang's sake.
Honglu Temple is also the only fourth-rank yamen among the five temples. Fourth-rank officials are indeed outstanding, but in the capital where there is no shortage of second-rank officials and where the streets are full of royal relatives, it is still a little less interesting.
If Xu Mang can pave the road a little more, he can take a few more steps forward.
Human lifespan is limited. Being able to rise and fall in officialdom for fifty or sixty years is already extremely capable. Most people retire after twenty or thirty years.
Therefore, if you take a few more steps when you are young, you will be a few steps ahead in the Golden Palace in the years to come.
Three orphans and three gentlemen, that is what Liu Jing pursues.
Now it's not that there is no chance, but he could have run, but he was limping because of Xu Mang's lack of attention. Liu Jing felt angry when he thought about it.
This is also the reason why he wants Liu Xun to climb up.
When the father's journey has not yet been completed, the son will continue to walk. If one generation cannot do it, then two generations will do it.
"Princess Ning'an is an excellent candidate," Liu Jing continued to warn his son. "The title is her own. The Empress Dowager loves and protects her. Apart from the current princess, she is the most outstanding among the princesses in the prince's palace."
.
Sincere uncle's house is harmonious and easy to talk to. He only has one daughter. In the future, the family property will be given to his nephew. He will only care for his daughter.
As long as you can win over the princess and have the support of your father and Taishan, are you afraid that you won't be able to fulfill your ambitions?"
Liu Xun still didn't listen.
Who says that an only daughter will definitely turn to her son-in-law?
Isn’t the person in front of him now a counterexample?
Furthermore, if you work hard and work hard, in the end you will only get an official hat. Can you compare to Xu Jian's position as Duke of the country?
Even if he has no real power and does not do his job properly, the duke of the country is still the duke of the country.
Then again, how old is Princess Ning'an?
Thirteen years old, fourteen years old?
Isn’t that similar to Liu Ping?
He hasn't seen Liu Ping for more than a year, but in his memory, his sister is just a bean sprout, with no front or back, and is boring.
You have to have a figure like Yue Niang to win over people.
After a lot of slander, Liu Xun was not stupid enough to say it out loud.
Seeing Liu Jing staring at him, he responded honestly: "When you go to Cining Palace with the prince tomorrow and the day after, your son will leave a good impression on the princess."
After listening to these words, Liu Jing was finally half satisfied: "I don't care what happened to Yue Niang. You should send her out earlier so that your mother and A-Ping don't see her. This will save you a lot of trouble."
When Liu Xun heard this, he was about to say a few words, but Liu Jing didn't let him speak.
"I know what you want to say," Liu Jing said, "Everyone has a favorite. It's okay if you like that, but you have to remember that you are nothing now. When you marry the princess, you will be in the court.
Now that you have a place of your own, it won’t be too late for you to accept a few more people you like. Why are you so eager?”
With a pale face, Liu Xun wanted to say, "How are these the same?" Can teenagers and decades be the same thing?
I wanted to say again, "Father, you have been here since you were young, don't you understand?" But he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
His father may really not understand.
In my father's eyes, there was always only the struggle in the court, and everything was for the sake of official position.
Liu Jing saw that he was hesitant to speak and seemed to have given up his defense, so he patted him on the back and said, "It's good if you understand my father's painstaking efforts. I'll say hello to your mother later and have a good rest. I just want to
I took half a day off and still have to go back to the Yamen."
Liu Xun said casually: "Your official duties are more important."
Liu Jing nodded.
The father and son left the study, one went to the front door and the other to the backyard.
When they parted ways, Liu Jing gave another warning: "I hope that when I come back from the office, there will be no Yue Niang or Xing Niang in the house."
In the morning, the autumn rain stopped a few times, and it really stopped at noon.
When the holy driver arrived at Cining Palace, Lin Yunyan greeted him outside the main hall.
"How is the Empress Dowager doing?" asked the Holy Sage.
Lin Yunyan replied: "Your Majesty, you are in good spirits today. I am very happy to hear that you are coming over for lunch."
The Holy Master nodded slightly and looked at Lin Yunyan carefully.
He watched Lin Yunyan grow up.
From the little baby who made milky sounds to the current cardamom girl, I just feel that it is very friendly. Take a closer look at her appearance now...
She is a beautiful woman, and when her facial features develop in a year or two, she will become even more amazing.
Speaking of which, Lin Yunyan's parents are both good-looking, so it is no surprise that she has such a daughter.
Yes.
Xu Jian also has good looks inherited from her parents.
At this point, it is quite appropriate.
"I'm going to talk to the Queen Mother." After the Holy Emperor finished speaking, he walked into the main hall.
Lin Yunyan did not follow, but turned around and went to the West Side Hall.
In the dormitory.
The Holy One smiled and said: "The Queen Mother looks much better."
"No matter how bad it goes, everyone will be tortured by the Ai family. The Ai family themselves will also feel uncomfortable. They can't win the horse crane and can't eat big fish and meat. It's so boring," the empress dowager said and also laughed.
Well, he didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, “Your Majesty, do you have something important to mention to Aijia?”
The Holy One nodded.
Apart from their mother and son, only Grandma Wang was standing in the dormitory.
The Holy See saw this in his eyes and praised in his heart: All the people in front of the Queen Mother are smart people.
Grandma Wang sent away her staff early in the morning, but Ning An didn't come in again at all.
"I have something I want to ask my mother for her opinion on," the Holy Sage lowered his voice, "Isn't it time for Ning'an to discuss marriage at his age? Does the queen have anyone in mind?"
The Empress Dowager glanced at the Holy Emperor in surprise.
She dotes on Lin Yunyan and often calls people to Cining Palace, but Lin Yunyan has a grandmother and a father. If marriage is a matter within the Lin family, how can she make the decision?
If the Lin family asked, she could give her an opinion, but she would not overstep her authority.
The reason for this is impossible for the Holy One to not understand, so...
"Could it be that the Holy One has a good man who wants to lead this red thread?" asked the Queen Mother.
