Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 148 The Emperor's Instructions

But Jing Ning didn't think so far, she simply thought that it was a head of the family complaining about the family; a father complaining about his daughter.

Because she had something on her mind, Jing Ning ate this meal absent-mindedly, and it tasted like the wax.After the hasty end, Jing Ning sincerely thanked Zhao Ying. If it wasn't for him, he would never know what happened in the court, and how hard his father was, walking on thin ice.

After thanking her, Jing Ning hurriedly got into her carriage and rushed to the prime minister's mansion.Why did Zhao Ying tell me this?Is it to please or what?Jing Ning had questions circling in his mind, but because his mind was already in a mess, he couldn't think of any clues.

After getting off the carriage, Jing Ning grabbed the butler who came to greet him, "Where's the master?"

Although the butler was curious about the urgency of the eldest lady's tone, he still replied dutifully, "Some colleagues of the master came this morning. The adults should be discussing important matters. They haven't left the master's study all morning. They ate their meals, and then went into the study."

In this way, it coincided with what Zhao Ying said. It seems that Zhao Ying did not lie.

"I'm waiting for my father in the main room. After those guests leave, remember to let him go to the main room to find me."

The housekeeper was very curious, "Miss, why are you looking for the master? Do you need my help?"

"No. You just need to remember to ask the master to go to the main room after seeing off the guests."

"Yes, remember, the eldest lady can rest assured."

Jing Ning sat in the main room, feeling very anxious.

A maid served tea and some other snacks.But Jing Ning was like an old monk in meditation, not moving or touching, thinking or thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps finally came from the door, and Zheng Anyan quickly walked into the main room, "What's the hurry for Jingning?"

"Father," Jing Ning stood up and saluted, "Jing Ning wants to ask Father about something."

"But about Xiu Ning? I heard about today's incident. Jing Ning, you have been wronged. That girl is absolutely lawless, hum! Not only is she disrespectful, but she doesn't even care about the Prime Minister's Mansion and slanders her at will. The Prime Minister's Mansion is simply a crime!"

Zheng Anyan sighed again, "But if we hadn't killed her mother Yang, maybe she wouldn't have changed so much."

"Father." Jing Ning interrupted him, "Jing Ning didn't come here today for this purpose."

"Oh? Then why, just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Jingning, Jingning would like to know if father and all the adults were discussing how to participate in the performance."

Zheng Anyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zheng Jingning, "Yes, then how did you know?"

"Father, don't worry about how I found out. I also know that in the past few days, my father has read a book every day, and the references are those who fell into trouble during your illness!"

"That's right." Zheng Anyan didn't hide anything from Zheng Jingning, seeing that Zheng Jingning had said it, he admitted it openly. "Those who have fallen to the ground will not let anyone go as a father!"

"Father! Aren't you being too aggressive? You just recovered from a serious illness, and the turmoil that damaged the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion has not yet completely passed. Shangzuo, but people with a discerning eye can still find that those who are upvoted are all yours. You are so direct and sharp, will you be considered as not thinking about the same official? Will you be considered cold-blooded and heartless?"

"Also, if my father wants to impeach the Yushifu, the rank of the Yushifu is not low. If you are like this..."

"No." Before Jing Ning could finish speaking, Zheng Anyan interrupted her directly, "No, I won't join Yushifu."

Looking at Jing Ning's confused look, Zheng Anyan explained, "Son, I have been an official for many years as a father. I have climbed from a small official to the position of prime minister. Naturally, I will not be so ignorant. It is time to be a father If you know how to endure, you will endure."

"I know what you mean. You are worried that if I am too aggressive, it will backfire. You think that I should slow down and suppress them slowly, right?"

"Yeah." Jing Ning nodded, "I'm afraid that if I'm too hasty, the officials will be prejudiced against Dad and hold onto our Prime Minister's Mansion."

"I don't know who told you about these things, but I hope you understand that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and some things are not for the prime minister at all, or even if I want to suppress those officials, I will not let it go like this Yu Mingmian."

"Then, father, why are you?"

"Listen to me." Zheng Anyan took a cup of tea on the table, "Killing chickens to scare monkeys. Putting it on the bright side must be for the purpose of deterrence. And I am not the one who needs deterrence."

Jingning's face turned pale, "It's that one."

At this moment, there were only father and daughter in the main room, and all the servants and maidservants had been driven far away by Jing Ning, so there was no need to be afraid that what they said would be overheard.

Zheng Anyan looked deeply at the path stretching out from the entrance of the main room. "The one above is well versed in the art of royal power."

"No emperor cares so much about the living things he rewards. All things are mortal. If they care too much, they will be regarded as vengeance and lose the meaning of the original reward.

Most of the emperors are generous and tolerant. There are only two attitudes towards the death of the imperial gift fish. One is that the rewarded person comes to apologize. When the emperor is happy, he will reward two more. To show relief, and second, not to care at all.And those who do not report, the emperor will not care, and will not deliberately investigate, after a long time, he will forget. "

"Although the rumors of this incident are a bit excessive, and even "contempt for the imperial power" appeared, but in the end it is your daughter's small trouble. Even if it is reported to the emperor, the emperor should pretend not to know, let alone say anything Go to great lengths to investigate your tricks.

To take a step back, even the investigation should be left to the queen who is in charge of the harem and the women's family. How can the open and secret struggles of your little girl's family be placed above the court. "

"But the emperor just did this, and directly issued an edict to punish him, and did not hand over the order to the empress. Also, if a detailed investigation is conducted, it will definitely be found that Xiu Ning is not the mastermind. However, the emperor directly issued an edict to criticize Xiu Ning. rather."

"This shows that the emperor wants to warn me that the Prime Minister's Mansion should not get carried away with my own status."

"And the emperor's behavior will be considered as a suppression of the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister doesn't want to see me, so they all read my book."

"This is to suppress me. When I return to the court, I secretly hint that I will return to those high-ranking officials. One is to appease me, and the other is to suppress those high-ranking officials and prevent them from getting carried away."

"Recently, the people I have joined are all insignificant officials. The emperor will not allow me to oppress those high-ranking officials."

"So, those who are active have been suppressed, and they are nothing more than useless victims. What the emperor wants is nothing more than a deterrent force. Only the imperial power can be held securely."

"Hmph!" Zheng Anyan finally snorted fiercely, but his expression was full of vicissitudes.

Jing Ning was momentarily speechless.

"Son, don't be afraid, even if it's not you this time, the emperor will still find another opportunity to suppress the prime minister's mansion. You girls, don't think so much, make friends as you want, don't be afraid, there is daddy protecting you .”

"Okay, let's go back and rest. You have to understand that being with you is like being with a tiger. Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness."

Jing Ning returned to the boudoir dully, so the imperial power is so terrible, it takes one person to go to great lengths to balance the power.
