Chapter 65: Behind the Scenes
————————
After Xie Yuan left, Ming Jin did not stay at the lake for a long time, but took the opposite path to the other party and returned to her residence, but she kept thinking about one thing - whether her father still treated her as she did when her mother was still there, or was he like four years ago, desperate for power struggle, and hurt her deeply.
But she soon found that the question was pointless, because she would never have the infinite admiration and trust of her father as she did when she was young.
What separates them is not only the ideology of political divergence, but also the bloody corpses all over the field.
So which question makes sense?
He also said that a mere banquet king who has no real power and is restricted by the imperial court is not to worry, so why let the other party pass the clear road of marriage, a son-in-law who has no role in politics, the only benefit is only the title of a royal nobleman, which may be the icing on the cake for other families, but for Gao Zuqin, one of the hereditary three princes' mansions, the Xie family is like a chicken rib, and it is also a disadvantage to him who has great power in the cabinet department, and it is easy to provoke the suspicion of the royal family and other cabinet ministers, he should be extremely aware of this fact- This marriage contract is actually not beneficial to him in terms of benefits. ”
She actually knows her own value very well, no matter whether Xie Yuan has father-daughter affection for her or not, as his only daughter-in-law, her marriage has a strong marriage value, not to mention a banquet king, even higher benefits can be plotted.
The two backgrounds of the Xie family and Xie Yuan's daughter make her worthy of such value.
"It can't be because I'm useless to him and send out the cabinet at will, that is.... He himself needs this marriage, which has nothing to do with the long-term benefits of the marriage, only with its presentness. ”
Marriage will eventually be invalid, but it will work until it is invalid!
After careful analysis, the only possibility was drawn.
"His real purpose is to use King Yan as bait, first obey King Yan's marriage, and then frame him for rebellion, get people into the Supervision Yuan, and then force King Yan to ask for help from the people behind him through such a situation - yes, people without real power can't coerce the Xie family at all, and they can't shake the king, let alone let him have the courage to attack me, and even openly humiliate me after the marriage."
"Father's target is the man behind the scenes.... Is it to let the other party show his identity, or do he already know the identity of the other party, but he wants the other party to be exposed to the court, so he introduces the Supervision Yuan? ”
In fact, four years ago, she was vaguely aware that her father seemed to have been fighting with others, and she also questioned it, but the latter was indifferent, and she really couldn't find traces, but saw the actual benefits of her father's struggle for power, so she was disheartened.
But now it seems that if this person really exists, it proves that her father's struggle with this person has reached the point where it is incompatible and will be put on the table.
Perhaps this is also the fundamental reason why she was summoned.
Ming's thinking soon expanded to the entire court, including the cabinet and the supervision court, as well as the clan.
A banquet king can indeed cause such a big storm.
"If the people behind the scenes don't make a move, the king of the banquet will be punished for collaborating with the enemy, biting out the other party under self-preservation, if he wants to make a move, it is tantamount to exposing himself...."
Ming Jin had to admit that her father was indeed vicious.
Now it's up to his opponent to solve the game.
But it's good for her.
Ming Jin's eyes flashed slightly, and when she saw Peony coming in, her mouth moved slightly, and she was telling the other party to call someone, she wanted to start monitoring the movements of the banquet king, whether it was the investigation of him whether there were relevant people interfering, or who tried to rescue, or even the reaction of the court's civil and military officials, these all needed huge intelligence support.
Peony didn't know the truth yet, so she only wanted to go out to contact the dark person, but she was suddenly stopped by Ming Jin.
"Wait."
"Girl?"
Ming Jin's brows were tightened, her fingers tapped on the table, just now she thought about it, but immediately thought that her father already knew the people in her hands, and he was obviously unwilling to get involved in this war by himself, because he was an extremely stubborn person, he was not allowed four years ago, and it was the same now, otherwise it would be clear to her, why not test and guard against each other between the two father and daughter.
In that case, she can't use the tengu and them, and the secret guard can't use them.
"Don't move."
"Huh?"
Ming Jin smiled faintly, "If you don't have that ability, you won't take the lead, and there's nothing wrong with being well-behaved." ”
"No one in this world will always be used to me, including my father."
The lessons of four years ago are all fresh in our minds.
Thinking of the tragic scene after the raid on the house, and the experience of being humiliated when she went back to her home to question, the brilliance in Mingjin's eyes was infinitely restrained, and finally calmed down.
She is no longer the innocent little girl she was back then.

However, on the third day, the case of Huaxianglou's great wilderness involving the king of Yan spread to the entire capital, and naturally spread to the cities of various provinces, but the key lies in the court and the people.
Above the court, the clan and the hundred officials are particularly cautious, neither want to overly defend a prince, anger the authority of the current king, but also dare not let a near-blood prince be wronged, especially the clan, they themselves are on the side of the imperial power, but since ancient times, the internal struggle within the imperial power is particularly powerful, when the ancestor had directly stated - if it is a royal family, it should be understood that there are two people in the mortal clan, if there are more than three people, there will be a fight, if there are hundreds of people, it will become a war.
The life of the king of the banquet is too good, the other clans are not happy, the king of the banquet is really going to hang, and the other clans are not willing.
Under the king, the clan is united in the same breath to maintain the overall combat strength, so as not to die and the fox to be sad, which is a trade-off technique.
Now, it's going to be broken.
The court is lively, the supervision house is under great pressure, searching everywhere, the capital family is cautious and cautious, especially those who have been in close contact with the king of the banquet in the past, it is like sitting on pins and needles, especially someone has begun to be summoned, and the women of Zhuqinglou have also been summoned to inquire a lot....
It is strange that no one in the court mentioned the marriage not long ago.
"In fact, it is not surprising that no one in the neutral faction can be offended, because the only effect of mentioning it is to pull the father into the water, which may make the case more complicated and difficult to handle, which is not conducive to stabilizing the situation, and pulling the father into the water is also equivalent to letting themselves go into the water with them, which violates their original political position. And the faction that wants to deal with the father is naturally willing to use this opportunity to attack the father, but the problem is that this marriage contract was given by the king, not the father seeked, and the father never responded. ”
In the warm pavilion of the study, early in the morning, Ming Jin actually took the initiative to torture Xie Zhilin about this political proposition, and the latter was shocked and thought carefully, and finally gave such an answer.
Xie Zhilin is intelligent and sensitive, and his forbearant nature makes him better at thinking, which is a plus, but the disadvantage is also a lack of aggression and not strong enough. But before you grow into the office, there are probably more benefits than disadvantages.
Ming Jin pinched the warm and fragrant teacup, and the whole person was embraced by the tea gas wafting from the boiling tea on the side, she listened quietly, but did not comment.
She was also waiting, but strangely enough, she didn't wait for someone to make a move against the banquet king.
Could it be that the person behind the curtain cherishes his feathers and refuses to save him?
But looking at the scum of the banquet king, he definitely doesn't look like someone who will appoint.
