But Jing Ning didn't think so far, she simply thought that this was a master who was holding grievances for this family; A father is holding grievances over his daughter.

Because of something in his heart, Jing Ning ate this meal absent-mindedly, and tasted the same wax. After the hasty end, Jing Ning sincerely thanked Zhao Ying, if it weren't for him, he would definitely not know what happened in the court, and how hard his father was, walking on thin ice.

After thanking him, Jing Ning hurriedly got into his carriage and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did Zhao Ying tell me this? Is it trying to please or what? Jing Ning had questions swirling in his mind, but because his mind was already in chaos, he couldn't think of any clues.

After getting out of the carriage, Jing Ning pulled the butler who came to greet him, "Where's the master?" ”

Although the housekeeper was curious about why the eldest lady's tone was urgent, he still replied dutifully, "A few of the master's colleagues came in the morning, and the adults should be discussing major matters.

In this way, it is exactly what Zhao Ying said, and it seems that Zhao Ying is not lying.

"I'll wait for my father in the hall, and when the guests are gone, remember to ask him to go to the hall to find me."

The housekeeper was very curious, "Miss, what are you looking for?" Do you need my help. ”

"No, you don't. You just have to remember to ask the master to go to the hall after sending off the guests. ”

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

Jing Ning sat in the hall, but he was very anxious in his heart.

A maidservant brought tea and some other snacks. But Jing Ning is like an old monk who has entered the meditation, he doesn't move, he doesn't touch, he doesn't want to think about it.

I don't know how long it took, footsteps finally came from the door, Zheng Anyan walked into the hall quickly, "What's the urgency of Jing Ning?" ”

"Father," Jing Ning stood up and saluted, "Jing Ning has something to ask Father." ”

"But about Xiuning? Today's incident, I heard about it, Jing Ning, you have been wronged, that girl is simply lawless, hum! Not only does she have no respect for her sister, but she doesn't even take the Prime Minister's Mansion to heart, and slanders the Prime Minister's Mansion at will, which is simply an obstacle! ”

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

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

"Oh? Why, let's just say something. ”

"Jing Ning, Jing Ning wants to know if my father and the adults were discussing how to participate in the music just now."

Zheng Anyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Zheng Jingning, "Yes, then how did you know?" ”

"Father, you don't care how I know, I also know that in recent days, my father has been taking a daily ginseng, and the people who participated in it are those who fell into the well during your illness!"

"Not bad." Zheng Anyan did not hide Zheng Jingning, and when he saw that Zheng Jingning said it, he generously admitted it. "Those who fall from the rock, for the sake of the father, will not spare any of them!"

"Father! Aren't you too aggressive? You have just recovered from a serious illness, and the turmoil of the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion has not completely passed, and you are so active in the court, although some of them are not played by you personally, but the discerning people can still find that those who play are your people. You are so direct and sharp, can you think that you don't think about the same official? Can it be considered cold-blooded and ruthless? ”

"Also, my father wants to impeach the Imperial Historian, and the rank of the Imperial Historian Mansion is not low, if you ...... it like that"

"No, it won't." Without waiting for Jing Ning to finish speaking, Zheng Anyan interrupted her directly, "No, I won't participate in the Imperial History Mansion." ”

Looking at Jing Ning's confused appearance, Zheng Anyan opened his mouth to explain, "Child, I have been an official for many years, and I have climbed from a petty official to the position of prime minister, naturally I will not be so uninteresting. ”

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

"Hmm." Jing Ning nodded, "I'm afraid that if I am in a hurry, the officials will be prejudiced against my father and hold the handle of our Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"I don't know who told you these things, but I also hope you understand that the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, and some things are not at all for the prime minister, or even if I want to suppress those officials, I will not be so open."

"So, father, why are you..."

"Listen to me," Zheng Anyan brought a cup of tea on the table, "Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys." This is placed on top of the bright side, which must be for the purpose of deterring. And I'm not the one who needs deterrence. ”

Jing Ning's face turned white, "It's the one." ”

At this time, there were two fathers and daughters in the hall, and all the slaves and maids had already been driven far away by Jing Ning, but there was no need to worry that what the two of them said would be overheard.

Zheng Anyan looked at the path stretched at the entrance of the hall with deep eyes. "The one up there is well versed in the art of power."

"No emperor cares so much about the living creatures he has rewarded, and all things will eventually die, and if he cares too much, he will be regarded as a retribution, and lose the meaning of the original reward.

Most emperors are generous and tolerant, and there are only two attitudes towards the death of the imperial fish, one is that the person who has been rewarded comes to apologize, and when the emperor is happy, he will reward two more to show relief, and the other is that he doesn't care at all. And those who don't report, the emperor won't care, let alone go out of his way to check, and after a long time, he will forget it. ”

Although this incident was rumored to be a bit excessive, and there was even a "contempt for imperial power", but after all, it was a small fight in your daughter's family. Even if it reaches the emperor, the emperor should pretend not to know, let alone say that he will go to great lengths to investigate your tricks.

Taking a step back, even the investigation should be handed over to the queen who is in charge of the harem and manages the female dependents, how can the open and secret battles of your little girl's family be placed on top of the court. ”

But the emperor did so, and directly issued an edict to punish him, without handing it over to the queen. Also, if it is a detailed investigation, it will definitely be able to investigate that Xiu Ning is not the mastermind, however, the emperor directly issued an edict to criticize Xiu Ning. ”

"This shows that the emperor wants to warn my Prime Minister's Mansion and ask my Prime Minister's Mansion not to get carried away with his identity."

"And the emperor's behavior will be regarded as a suppression of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he doesn't want to see the Prime Minister, so they all joined me one after another."

"This is the suppression of me, and when I return to the court, he secretly hints that I will join those high-ranking officials, first, to appease me, and secondly, to suppress those high-ranking officials and prevent them from getting carried away again."

"Recently, the people I have participated in are all unimportant small officials, and those high-ranking officials, the emperor will not allow me to oppress."

"So, the people who can move have been suppressed, they are just useless victims, and what the emperor wants is nothing more than a deterrent to kill chickens and monkeys, and both sides should stop this matter. Weigh the left and right parties in this way, so that his imperial power can be held safely. ”

"Humph!" Zheng Anyan snorted fiercely at the end, but his expression was full of vicissitudes.

Jing Ning was speechless for a while.

"Child, 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 how you want, don't be afraid, and your father will protect you. ”

"Alright, let's go back and rest. You have to understand that a companion is like a tiger. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. ”

Jing Ning returned to the boudoir sluggishly, it turns out that the imperial power is so terrible, and it takes a person to balance the power so hard.
