Lan Tianye's mind was a little confused and a little irritable.

Marriage with the royal family is not a happy thing, since ancient times, people who become concubines automatically cut off relations with high-ranking officials. Marrying a princess is equivalent to a relative, and a relative's involvement in politics has always been a very sensitive matter, so the concubine seems to be beautiful and has become the emperor's son-in-law, but in fact, it is not very beautiful for the young handsome man with great ambitions.

But Lan Tianye hopes that his son can marry Princess Shanyang.

Replaced by other princesses, without Lan Changgong's refusal, Lan Tianye himself will first find a way to refuse the marriage for his son. But this matter is put on Princess Shanyang, and it becomes different.

Lan Tianye knew that Princess Shanyang was His Majesty's favorite daughter, and there was no one. This was not enough to make Lan Tianye look at Yin Chuyu differently. And the other thing changed his mind.

As the left minister, he naturally knew that His Majesty and Longxiangyuan were going to work together to build Princess Shanyang into another "Xia Junzi", making her a benchmark figure, and the royal family and Longxiangyuan must invest deep resources in cultivating her.

At that time, the son, who is the husband of Princess Shanyang, will also get a piece of the pie and get more and more abundant cultivation resources—far more abundant than the resources provided by the Zuo Xiangfu family now.

In the land of China, no matter how deep the family background is, there is no direct cost-effective martial artist with high realm strength, with strong strength, one person is the background of the entire family, if you want to extend the family for a long time, a martial artist with high realm strength is an indispensable foundation.

The simplest example, take the Xia Junzi who rose lightning before, when he rose, the family power could only be regarded as the generally strong Xia family, and it didn't take long for him to become the richest man in the Dashang Dynasty, how beautiful was the Xia family at that time? Even if no one in the family was an official in the court, even if Xia Yi refused His Majesty's reward, the Xia family was still a high mountain, a mountain that people could not look up at and could not see!

However, it didn't take long for Xia Yi's "Martial Spirit" to be lost, his realm plummeted, and he became a mortal who couldn't cultivate. Since then, the Xia family has plummeted, although it is still barely supported by the reputation left over from the peak of Xia Junzi, but the fall of the Xia family has become a foregone conclusion. In just a few years since then, Xia Yi's wealth has shrunk rapidly, and although he is still one of the top wealthy families in Chaoge City, everyone knows that the Xia family, which has no foundation, will continue to row into the abyss, until the reputation of Xia Junzi is completely annihilated in the long river of history, and the Xia family will come to an end.

Now the status of Zuo Xianglan Mansion is relying on Lan Tianye step by step to get to where it is today, no one knows the hard taste of this, but Lan Tianye is very clear in his heart. If the Lan family also had a genius boy at the beginning, even if it was not a genius like Xia Junzi, but just a talent like his son, maybe he could climb to the position of Zuo Xiang much earlier, and I don't know how much energy and resources he would have left.

Lan Tianye is very aware of the family's shortcomings, so he has been very patient to cultivate his children, and a pair of daughters have entered the Longxiang Academy, although they are only teachers who teach some side jobs, but they have obtained some resources in the Longxiang Academy, which can be regarded as Zuo Xianglanfu cultivating a part of his own power in the Longxiang Academy.

Under his training, his only son, Lan Changgong, not only broke through to the eight-rank realm and became a young official with top-notch strength in the realm, but also had the reputation of "Xia Junzi" in the past, and had an excellent reputation, compared to the two sons of the right prime minister Qin Mansion, I don't know how much better.

However, although he can obtain a lot of cultivation resources with the power of Zuo Xiang, he is still a little "stretched" if he wants to cultivate three martial artists with high realm strength.

The overstretched here refers to cultivating them to become great grandmasters of the "Martial Spirit Returning to Oneness" realm, rather than being satisfied when they reach the Nine Rank realm.

Lan Tianye has an ambition, as the left minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, the Lan family will become the first family of the Great Shang Dynasty, how can he cultivate a great master in the realm of "Martial Spirit Unity" to "decorate the façade".

Now, the opportunity to get more resources is just around the corner, and he thought that it would be as smooth as it gets, with a talented man and a woman, and a family background that can barely be called a good match, so what is not satisfied?

Who knew before his eyes that this was a road full of thorns.

Lan Tianye rubbed his sour brows, and his expression showed exhaustion, which made Lan Changgong, who was paying attention next to him, a little unbearable.

"Listening to your tone, it seems that you have a limited affection for Princess Shanyang?" Lan Tianye's voice was weak, as if he was full of worry.

Lan Changgong has always understood his father's thoughts, and at this time, he also somewhat understood the reason why his father wanted to match his marriage with Yin Chuyu. It's just that he doesn't have a good feeling, after all, he doesn't hate Yin Chuyu, and in the past, he might gladly accept this marriage.

However, who let him have a sweetheart, and with a relationship, it is difficult for him to accept another woman he doesn't like, even if this person is Princess Shanyang whom he admires very much.

I can't say it with my mouth, but I am quite resistant to it in my heart.

Lan Changgong's face was very ugly, although he was silent and did not answer his father's question, but his expression had already revealed his attitude.

"Ahh

What should we do now? How can we explain this to Your Majesty? If we politely reject Your Majesty's kindness when Your Majesty hints, there may be a chance to redeem it. Now there is a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, which makes Lan Tianye a little lost.

Lan Changgong also understood the difficulty in this matter, and when he saw his father sighing, he came up with an idea for him.

"Father, when I received the will and served as the guide of Huaichuan Academy, I found that the relationship between Xia Yi and Her Royal Highness the Princess was extraordinary, and I was also resisted and ridiculed by Xia Yi at that time. I think that not only are we having a headache about this marriage, I believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Xia Yi will also feel a lot of headaches, maybe we can push this matter on them and let them 'enlighten' Your Majesty!"

Lan Tianye glanced at his son, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.

After pondering for a long time, he said to his son: "Your idea is good, but we must be positive in this matter, otherwise Your Majesty will see that our attitude is very perfunctory, and even if he finally changes his mind, he will still be dissatisfied with our attitude." ”

Lan Changgong made it easy to understand this, and even agreed to it.

"Alas!~ I thought it would be a good opportunity, but you didn't know how to grasp it. Lan Tianye sighed, wondering in his heart if he was too indulgent of his son.

Lan Changgong's expression was apologetic, and he made a promise in a deep voice: "Father, don't worry, I am now in the eighth-rank realm, and I still have a lot of time to cultivate, believe me, I will definitely become the great grandmaster of the 'Martial Spirit Unity'!"
