Lin Wan smiled, no longer polite, got up and walked in front of Zhou Chang'an, curtsied his knees, and said, "Father, Wan'er does have a reluctant request this time, and I want to ask my father for permission." If Lin Wan is ignorant and causes trouble to his father, please also ask her father to see that Wan'er is usually well-behaved, and don't punish Wan'er. ”

Zhou Chang'an listened to Lin Wan's words, and his heart was even more puzzled, what was it that made Lin Wan so solemn? After thinking about it, he frowned and said: "Wan'er, you are so solemn, could it be that you have changed your mind and don't want to go to Xiling Kingdom to participate in the concubine selection feast?" If so, I will never be able to agree, this matter is related to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Feudal Kingdom, and I can't rely on you." As he spoke, he continued: "A few days ago, the Queen Mother said that Manting's girl wanted to go to Xiling Kingdom with you, so she could take care of her. I didn't agree, mainly because I didn't want her to cause trouble for you. For your sake, I even violated the will of the Queen Mother, and you can't come to dismantle my platform again. ”

Lin Wanwan smiled, and gave Zhou Changan a thank you salute, saying: "Thank you father! Father thinks about Wan'er everywhere and defends Wan'er everywhere, of course Wan'er will not let her father down, let alone retreat in the face of such national events." Wan'er wanted to ask her father for a trivial matter. ”

Zhou Changan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, nodded, and said with a smile: "In this case, Wan'er doesn't hurt to talk about it, as long as I can help you, I will definitely not let you down." ”

Lin Wan couldn't help but be overjoyed in her heart, her eyes lit up, and she immediately gave Zhou Changan another salute and thanked her: "Thank you, father!"

Zhou Changan laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry about Xie Zhen first, I haven't promised you anything yet, let's talk about what it is first." ”

Lin Wan nodded happily, stood up straight, looked up at Zhou Chang'an, and said slowly: "Father, you made my cousin-in-law the prefect of Fujian this morning, and he will take office at the beginning of next month, right?"

Zhou Changan was stunned, and didn't react for a while, who is Lin Wan's cousin-in-law? Thinking that he had named Xing Han as the acting prefect of Fujian in the early days of the dynasty, and Xing Han had only married Zhao Jing'er yesterday, and Zhao Jing'er was Lin Wan's cousin. Zhou Changan frowned and thought about this circle of relationships, and then figured out that the cousin-in-law Lin Wan said was Xing Han. So, he nodded and said with a smile: "Wan'er's news is well-informed, and I almost didn't react." It turns out that the former Fujian prefect I sealed was your cousin, and the new Fujian prefect I just named this morning is your cousin-in-law. They are all related to Wan'er, Wan'er's relationship network is really unusual!"

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Father, they are all your courtiers, and, counting up to three generations, who are not related to each other?

Zhou Changan chuckled and shook his head, and Lin Wan was right, Wang Ronggang was the younger brother of Concubine Yu, and he was his brother-in-law. The ancestors of the Xing family also had imperial concubines, who can say that it has nothing to do with it at all?

Lin Wan paused, and then returned to the truth: "Father, you also know that my cousin and cousin-in-law only got married yesterday, and you want to let the young couple suffer the pain of this parting, isn't it too ruthless?"

Zhou Changan was stunned, shook his head, frowned, and said, "Wan'er, I can't rely on you in this matter." I have already made an order, it is impossible to retract the order, and I am also under a lot of pressure to appoint Xing Han as the prefect of Fujian. I am very optimistic about Xing Han, and I am sure that he will not disappoint me. This matter is very important, and Wan'er must not play with it. ”

Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, shook her head, and said, "Father, Wan'er is not asking you to take back your fate, Wan'er just wants to ask you to make an order, so that my cousin Zhao Jing'er can go to Fujian with her cousin-in-law to take office." ”

Zhou Chang'an suddenly realized, shook his head helplessly, and said, "You kid, how can you come to me for such a thing? If the elders of the Xing family agree to let Zhao Jing'er follow Xing Han to Fujian to take office, of course I will not take care of the family affairs of the courtiers. ”

Lin Wan sighed lightly and said with a bitter face: "Father, my second aunt and cousin Jing were already very unhappy before the Queen Mother gave them two marriages, and the city was full of turmoil, I believe you must have heard of it." What's more, my cousin-in-law has just taken office now, and he is still in the one-year inspection period, how could Uncle Xing and Aunt Xing agree to let my cousin-in-law follow my cousin-in-law to Fujian to cause trouble?"

Zhou Changan laughed and said, "You also know that Zhao Jing'er followed Xing Han to Fujian to take office, and it will definitely cause trouble to Xing Han, how can you come to ask me to give an order and let Zhao Jing'er follow him to Fujian to make trouble?"

Lin Wan listened to Zhou Chang'an's words, but his face did not change, and he said seriously: "Father, maybe others think that Cousin Jing followed my cousin-in-law to Fujian to take office, which will cause chaos for him. However, Wan'er believes that the matter of Cousin Jing's trip to Fujian, in general, is more beneficial than disadvantageous. ”

Zhou Changan hooked his lips and smiled, looked at Lin Wan inquiringly, and asked curiously: "Is it?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Father, Wan'er thinks that Cousin Jing followed her cousin-in-law to Fujian to take office, and there are three major benefits. First, the cousin and the cousin-in-law have just gotten married, so it is not appropriate to separate immediately. This is not only detrimental to the relationship between husband and wife, but also detrimental to family unity. Just imagine, my cousin-in-law has just arrived in Fujian to take office, and he is already very busy, and he has to worry about the conflict between his wife and his mother at home, how can he rest assured about political affairs?"

Zhou Changan was unmoved, looked at Lin Wan lightly, and motioned for her to continue.

Lin Wan thought for a while, and continued: "Second, my cousin-in-law is young and talented, and the wealthy gentry of Fujian are the best at sending beauties to the Fujian prefect. My father also knows that my cousin is good at martial arts, and she has a strong temperament, and with her by her cousin-in-law's side, presumably even if those people have the intention to win over and corrupt the new prefect, they will never dare to send women to the new prefect's mansion. ”

Zhou Changan nodded thoughtfully, as if he agreed with Lin Wan's words, but he was still noncommittal, and asked lightly, "What about the third point?"

Lin Wan's eyes were firm, without hesitation, and continued: "Father, Wan'er is going to Xiling Kingdom in a few days, the internal struggle in Xiling Kingdom is now fierce, and the emperor and King Qi of Xiling Kingdom want to take the opportunity of this concubine selection feast to create greater chaos and raise troops. ”
