Golden branches around the East Palace

Chapter 201
After all, it was the prime minister of the court. When Huangfuyan told the good news, Lian Jinqing's mind had already turned countless times.

The concubine is pregnant, and the prince has successors. 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 to be in a very passive situation.The emperor doesn't like the prince, but values ​​the second prince.But the emperor is not a faint king after all, and he still wants to reuse the Lian family.The Lian family was once a role model for civil servants all over the world. The deceased old lady of the Lian family had disciples all over the world. Now many civil servants in the imperial court have been taught by the old lady of the Lian family.The Yangshan Academy in the Lian family's hometown in southern Shanxi is the largest academy in the entire imperial kingdom. Although it is managed by a side branch of the Lian family, they all respect Lian Jinqing, the direct branch.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 meets and screens in person. Therefore, at least half of the officials in the entire Imperial Kingdom come from Yangshan Academy.

It is true that the Lian family's direct branch has withered connections, but this does not affect the Lian family's status in the aristocratic family at all, and its position in the hearts of scholars all over the world.

The emperor had no choice but 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 couldn't just make excuses and abolish him.

So the current situation is that the emperor still needs the Lian family and will not trouble the Lian family. Even if he is determined to abolish the prince, he will not disturb 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 easy-going lamps. Huangfuyan has occupied the position of the prince for so many years, and he will not die. The fight between the brothers is bloody.This account, no matter which prince ascends the throne, will not be settled so easily.No matter how important the aristocratic family is, you are only important when the emperor reuses you. Once the emperor is cruel and wants to punish you, no matter how influential you are, it will be useless.

As soon as Huangfuyan fell, the Lian family almost collapsed.

It is still unknown whether he can save his life, let alone the prosperity of the family.

Lian Jinqing knew this better than anyone else.So all these years, he, the prince and the queen have maintained a common tacit understanding, that is, they have always kept a distance on the surface, but behind them, they have already prepared a way out, asking for nothing but to give It is enough for the Lian family to leave a little blood.

Unless the prince ascends the throne, this situation cannot be broken.

But the possibility of the crown prince ascending the throne is too small, even if he comes forward to join forces with important ministers, it may not be able to stabilize the crown prince's position.

This is the reality, no matter how important the ancestors' etiquette is, it is impossible to be more important than the country. If the prince insists on letting the prince succeed, the prince will not live for a few years, and the final result will only lead to civil strife.Now that the four kingdoms stand together, and the imperial kingdom is in chaos, everyone around will surely take advantage of the fire to loot.

When it gets bigger, the people will be in dire straits.

Lian Jinqing is not only Huangfuyan's uncle, but also an example of scholars in the world. The leader of civil servants should not put the safety of the people in the world at risk for his own selfishness.

It is true that the emperor has selfish intentions, but the current reality is also that the prince's body is not a heavy responsibility.

Although Lian Jinqing knew how smart his nephew was, not to mention the current emperor, even those few princes combined might not be worth one-tenth of Huangfu Yan.It's a pity that if you lose your body, you also lose your fundamentals.
