1174 Secret investigation, the matter is conspiracy
Wang Jinling's two answers made the emperor very satisfied, and his eyes softened a little when he saw Wang Jinling.
This time, Wang Jinling could be said to have clearly told the emperor that the marriage between Cui and Wang's family was not brought about by him, and he had no intention of the marriage between Cui and Wang's family.
However, if the marriage becomes a reality, the Wang family will not break it. Marriage belongs to marriage, and family belongs to family. The Wang family will not make decisions that violate the ancestral precepts of the Wang family because of a woman.
As for the last question.
Wang Jinling did not answer directly. He only heard the news about Feng Qingchen and Nine Emperors Uncle's accident, and felt sad. If the emperor is willing, please allow him to adjust for a period of time before considering the issue of becoming an official.
Even though he was rogue by dragging his feet, the situation at this time was not suitable for an official career at all, and he was really not in the mood.
The whereabouts of Feng Qingchen and Uncle Nine Emperors were really unknown, and their life and death were unknown. Even if Wang Jinling believed in his heart that Feng Qingchen and Uncle Nine Emperors would not die so easily, he still couldn't rest assured until he received confirmed news.
Not crying does not mean that he is not sad, but what has happened has already happened, and no matter how sad he is, it will not help. Rather than wallowing in grief, it is better to do what he should do to help.
Wang Jinling did not refuse in one breath, and showed his concern for Feng Qingchen at the right time. Originally he only believed three points of the emperor, but now he believed seven points.
The answer he wanted was already there, and the emperor didn't mention it any more. The topic turned to Wang Jinling's trip to Nanling this time. Although Wang Jinling had a long journey, he didn't look tired and picked out a few things that made the emperor happy.
, the emperor was overjoyed and gave Wang Jinling a large number of rewards.
Unlike ordinary people who would be overjoyed when hearing the emperor's reward, Wang Jinling accepted it calmly and retired calmly.
After Wang Jinling left, the palace became quiet. It took a long time for the emperor to speak out: "In your opinion, are Wang Jinling's words credible?"
From behind the screen, Fu Lin, dressed in official uniform, came out and was about to salute, but was interrupted by the emperor, so Fu Lin stood up.
"When I return to the emperor, there is no need for Wang Jinling to lie. Wang Jinling is not stupid. He knows very well that there is no benefit in cooperating with the Cui family."
The Wang family is not the Cui family. After the change of dynasties, the Wang family will still be a big family and will still be subordinate to the Cui family. The situation is no different from the current situation. As long as he doesn't hit a wall in his head, Wang Jinling will not take that risk.
Not worth it.
The emperor nodded in agreement: "You have to be reasonable. As long as the Wang family is not stupid, they will not take that risk. They are already extremely rich, and it is impossible to go further."
After hearing Wang Jinling's explanation, the emperor already believed it in his heart. He just needed someone to confirm it. Being an emperor also has a side that he cannot see.
"Wealth is sought in danger. The Wang family is already extremely wealthy. The Cui family's promises are just empty words, and they will not be better than they are now. I really don't understand how the Wang family could agree to the Cui family's marriage proposal." The Cui family's ambitions
, the emperor does not believe that the Wang family does not know.
Fu Linyu said with ridicule: "If my guess is correct, the Wang family just wants more protection and does not want to offend the Cui family. After all, it is just a daughter. Sacrificing a daughter can give the Wang family one more way out, so why not
Instead of doing it.”
In other words, those people in the Wang family are just outsiders, and they don't care about the victory or defeat of the Cui family.
If the Cui family wins, they have that in-law relationship, so the Wang family will not suffer any loss. On the contrary, if the Cui family loses, they will only lose one woman, without damaging their foundation.
Sacrifice only one woman, and then sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. This is a very good deal.
"Old fox." The emperor cursed secretly, feeling very shameless towards the Wang family's speculative behavior.
Fu Lin quickly offered words of comfort: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The marriage between the Wang family and the Cui family will not affect the overall situation. As long as the eldest son is upright, this marriage is just a marriage between two families and cannot destroy the overall situation."
Even so, the emperor is still unhappy, and if the emperor is unhappy, the person who made him unhappy will never get over it.
"Let's check to see if there are any suitable girls in the Wang family. Zichun's princess is infertile, so let the Wang family send a girl to Prince Chun's Mansion to be a concubine." It just so happened that the women from the Wang family were of noble birth and could suppress Princess Yaohua.
"This..." Fu Lin didn't dare to answer.
Letting a girl from the Wang family become a concubine would not be a slap in the face of the Wang family.
The Wang family has never had a woman as a concubine, and will not refuse to send a woman to the palace even if she is not there.
"What? I am of Dongling royal family's blood, not worthy of the Wang family's daughter?" The emperor snorted dissatisfied.
Fu Lin didn't dare not. He nodded quickly and said in his heart: No, she is really not worthy. The Wang family will definitely not be happy to let the girl marry into the clan, let alone be a concubine.
The concubine is just a nice name, but in the final analysis she is still a concubine, a plaything that cannot be put on the stage.
It’s really a shame that the emperor could think of using a girl from the Wang family as a plaything.
But... it would definitely not work in normal times. The marriage between the Wang family and the Cui family made the emperor dissatisfied. The emperor wanted a girl from the Wang family to enter Prince Chun's palace as a concubine. No matter how unhappy the Wang family was, they couldn't refuse, and they also had to get someone with a high status.
come out.
With Wang Jinling's guarantee and being able to slap the Wang family, the emperor temporarily put aside the Wang family's affairs and asked Fu Lin about the Nine Emperors Uncle.
"Go and check in person. What can you find out?" The emperor openly sent people to investigate the matter of the Nine Emperors Uncle, but secretly asked Fu Lin to go there himself.
This matter is too important, and the Emperor would not trust it if it were left to someone else.
"When I return to the emperor, I have searched the entire mountain top and even the bottom of the cliff. I haven't found anything suspicious. On the surface, this is indeed a murder directed at Uncle Nine Emperors." Then Marry Wa.
Your Majesty, force Dongling to give up using Thunder.
Fu Lin didn't understand the latter sentence, but the emperor understood it.
Fu Lin's words contained a hint of reservation, and the emperor also heard it and asked: "Come here, what did you find? I won't blame you."
The emperor was leaning on the dragon chair in a relaxed posture. From this detail, it can be seen that the emperor trusted Fu Lin.
"Yes." The emperor's words came to this point. Of course, Fu Lin would not hesitate anymore and said: "Your Majesty, I discovered that the people who ambushed the Nine Emperors Uncle and the ones who bombed the imperial mausoleum should be the same people."
"Oh?" The emperor was surprised, and moved forward with a slight smile, obviously he attached great importance to this method.
"I checked the intensity and depth of the explosion, as well as the thunder fragments left at the scene, and can conclude that this was done by the same group of people." As he spoke, Fu Lin took out a memorial and presented it.
"Your Majesty, I have written down each question in detail."
The emperor took the memorial and read it carefully. Fu Lin stood there quietly without making a sound. Except for the occasional sound of turning the book, the whole hall was quiet...
The emperor's eyes became more solemn as he looked at it. He originally thought that the bombing of the imperial mausoleum was caused by his brother, the third emperor. The third prince died, so he did not ask further questions. But judging from Fu Lin's excerpt, this is actually the case.
A huge conspiracy.
There is an invisible hand secretly plotting against this continent.
"The former Lan Sect." The emperor bit down on these four words. Each word was like a thousand pounds, hitting his heart...
The Lan clan and Feng Li clan of the previous dynasty were a curse to the emperors of the four kingdoms, always reminding them how their empire came...
