21. Sin

……

"Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, is this kind of thing done by people? Father, don't you know how happy your son was when he learned that Liu Ce was of the Jiang family's bloodline and had such outstanding abilities?

Twenty years of separation, and now God has mercy on him, and finally sends him back to me to be reunited, but we have to think about how to use him, and finally put him to death.

Father, is our Jiang family relying on this method to gain a foothold in the world? Don't you think it's shameless and despicable to do this?! ”

In the face of his father saying such cruel words, Jiang Xun really couldn't accept it, especially the sentence that he had to kill his own son with his own hands, which made his face distort, and he kept tapping his fingers on the coffee table to show his dissatisfaction when he spoke to Jiang Yan.

However, Jiang Yan only shook his head and chuckled at what Jiang Xun said: "You are right, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must be so shameless and despicable, not only the emperor's family has been ruthless since ancient times, but also our so-called wealthy families!"

You go and see how those powerful world lords have stood for hundreds of thousands of years without falling, and which one has not killed their own relatives? Some do not hesitate to cook the flesh and blood of their children for the sake of the future of the family,

Cruel, right? Despicable, right? But in exchange for what? The rise and fall of his own family! And why can our Jiang family rise, the name that can't be mentioned has already told you more than once, right? Think about it......"

When Jiang Xun heard this, he closed his eyes in pain, and he still couldn't accept that this bloody scene was about to fall on him one day, and at this moment he felt that the burden on his shoulders was as heavy as a mountain, and he was almost out of breath.

"In addition......" Jiang Yan ignored Jiang Xun's mood at this time, and continued to speak, "Yan'er's marriage can't be delayed any longer, her father has already thought of a husband for her, that is, the younger brother of the current saint Chengwang......"

As soon as Jiang Xun heard the word "Chengwang", he immediately got up and flatly refused: "Father, are you confused!" My son will never agree! That King Cheng is romantic, and has a weird and tyrannical personality, Yan Er is simply worse than dead when she marries, and she will die!

Moreover, you must have seen the situation in the hall today, my father, even a blind person can see how attached Yan'er is to Liu Ce, do you think she will agree? ”

"Is this up to her!" Jiang Yan glared at Jiang Xun fiercely, "Parents should be in charge of children's marriages, you sit down for me, and listen to your father and tell you slowly." ”

"Okay, my son would like to hear what his father has to say......" Jiang Xun suppressed his anger and slowly sat down.

Jiang Yan sighed and said: "This is the second thing that my father wants to tell you, the army of the Mengluo Empire has returned to the Khan Land from the Western Regions, and sent envoys to the Shendu to negotiate, and put forward a lot of harsh requirements.

That domineering momentum is clearly a provocation to my Great Zhou, and for the sake of today's plan, the saint can only agree to some of the conditions they put forward, one of which is that three hundred maids and a princess of the main family are required to marry Tuoba Hongye as a concubine.

Before coming to the Far East, the emperor specially discussed with his father how to choose a candidate for marriage, and his father had heard from the meaning of the emperor's words that he did not want the royal princess to become a slave chieftain.

But I couldn't find the right person to be a princess, so I ......"

Jiang Xun immediately took over and said: "So the emperor hit Yan'er with his idea, he doesn't want his children to suffer and lose face, so he should let Yan'er bear this humiliation, right?" ”

Jiang Yan nodded, indicating that what Jiang Xun said was right.

At this time, Jiang Xun's emotions were completely excited, and even a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes towards Jiang Yan: "Father, do you want Yan'er to become the second Xue Ruyuan?" Can't you let the emperor refuse those Hu Nu's demanding demands toughly? ”

"Tough? Hehe......" Jiang Xun shook his head with a smile as if he had heard some interesting anecdote, "Son, I have been the prime minister for my father for more than 20 years, and I don't know what kind of situation Da Zhou is now?" What to talk about toughness?

Do you know that in the treasury, in addition to the military salaries that can be given to the new army of the former division of the Ashiden and the royal army, the officials and armies in other places rely on the local lords to barely make money? Expect hungry soldiers to fight the wolf-like Monroe? Aren't you afraid of defection?

At the moment, we don't have the strength to compete with the Monroe people at all, and this is just to buy time to give Da Zhou a breather, not to mention, my father didn't agree......"

Jiang Xun asked: "Since this is the case, what does it have to do with King Cheng?" Why did you marry Yan'er to him? ”

Jiang Yan said: "The emperor saw that his father was reluctant to agree to this kind of thing, and hinted that King Cheng planned to take a concubine recently, and said that he had admired Yan'er for a long time, hoping to marry him. ”

Jiang Xun snorted coldly and said to Jiang Yan: "So father, you should come down?" ”

Jiang Yan shook his head: "Then what virtue does King Cheng do, how can his father not know?" At that time, I didn't agree to come down, but seeing the situation of Yan Er and Liu Ce today, I had to make up my mind......"

Jiang Xun said: "Father, do you want to send your precious granddaughter into the tiger's mouth?" ”

Jiang Yan shook his head again: "Don't worry, Yan'er won't suffer any hardships when she marries, because King Cheng has a good relationship with the concubine of the dynasty, old man...... will entrust him to take good care of Yan'er, and will not let her suffer too much grievance......"

"Pop ......"

Jiang Xun slapped the coffee table suddenly, got up and pointed at Jiang Yan and said in a trembling voice: "Father, I really didn't expect you to be so cruel not only to Liu Ce, but even to Yan'er who has been with you for many years.

Do you think your son can't hear what you mean? King Cheng is obscene and promiscuous, and he has done some shameful deeds, do you want to say that after Yan'er marries Queen Cheng, she will ...... with Li Suwen?"

"Alas......" Jiang Yan sighed and nodded, "No way, everything is based on the overall situation of the family, no matter how King Cheng and Li Suwen are relatives of the Central Plains Emperor, it is much better than marrying a foreign Hu Nu, not to mention exchanging Yan'er for the two allies of King Cheng and the Li family, why not do it?" ”

Jiang Xun said with a face full of disbelief: "Then are you going to let Yan'er bear this humiliation and be a slut who can be a man who can be poked in the back and scolded for a lifetime?" Aren't you afraid that this will have an impact on my Jiang family's reputation?

Father, do you know what your son regrets the most now? It's that when Yan'er swore to meet Liu Ce in Heyang Tower, I actually disliked him like a bastard, I really regretted wanting to die, now I think about it, even if he is not my son, I should marry Yan'er to him! ”

"Hmph, there's no way, my Jiang family has taken care of Yan'er for nineteen years, and she should also repay my Jiang family's nurturing grace and use that appearance ......to fight for some benefits for my family," Jiang Yan said lightly, "If you want to blame, blame her for being born in a famous family, this is fate, and he can't call the shots." ”

"No way!" Jiang Xun categorically refused, "This kind of ethical and reasonable thing, my son will never be able to do it, please forgive my son for not being able to agree!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan got up and walked to Jiang Xun's side, looked at his eyes full of anger, and said word by word: "Jiang Xun, you listen to the old man, if you don't listen to the old man this time, the old man doesn't mind letting the governor of the Far East change his choice.

My Jiang Yan's seven sons, there is no shortage of you who have the ability, hum, you'd better think clearly, otherwise not only will you not be able to do the position of governor of the Far East, but even the position of the head of the Jiang family will not be able to sit now,

As long as I, Jiang Yan, don't die for a day, this family is still the old man's final say. ”

When Jiang Xun heard this, his face suddenly turned sluggish, and he sat back in the chair weakly.

"Son......" Seeing Jiang Xun's depressed expression, Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder, and his tone softened slightly, "You have to understand that you are now the head of a family, and you must give priority to the fame and fortune of the family in everything, and you can't just rely on emotions to know things?" It is not wrong to do what the Father says, think about it......"

After speaking, Jiang Yan stretched his waist and sat back in front of his position, and comfortably picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

As everyone knows, outside the door of the room, a figure slowly retreated after seeing the silence inside......
