Seeing that Bo Yan didn't answer, Bo Zhongqing felt that she had acquiesced, and immediately trembled with anger, her eyes were bloodshot, and she fell to the ground with a plop and cried bitterly: "My Bo family is full of loyalty, but I didn't expect to be accused of murdering the king!" Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed of you! ”

Bo Zhongqing said as he bowed heavily to the void.

Bo Yan pursed his lower lip, clenched his fists tightly, his nails were embedded in his palms and there were blood stains, what else could he say, after such a palace change, the first thing his father said when he came to see him was not to ask and care, but to question why he had become so cold, and to ask if he was a murderer.

Heh, Bo Yan couldn't help sneering, and a burst of sadness rose in his heart, what else could he expect from him.

"This palace asks you, do you ask the queen of the dynasty, or your own daughter." Bo Yan said in a trembling voice.

Bo Zhongqing raised his head, his face full of grief: "What if it's the queen, what if it's the daughter?" What difference does it make if you do something that is not tolerated? ”

Bo Yan sneered, and forcibly controlled the ups and downs of his voice: "If you are regarded as the queen, this is a matter involving the orthodoxy of the Zhao Kingdom, and the prime minister can naturally have doubts, and the palace has nothing to say; If you think of it as a daughter...... After 16 years of getting along, the daughter's words and deeds are watched by the father, and the father is now questioning his daughter if she is plotting to kill the emperor, which is really ......"

Although he endured it, but in the end, Bo Yan's voice was still choked, although he never expected too much from him, but now this scene is also ......

Bo Zhongqing looked at the tears in Bo Yan's eyes and was slightly moved, and said after a moment of silence: "Since Niangniang calls Lao Chen a father, she should know that Lao Chen has always put loyalty in the first place, and tampering with the edict is really intolerable. ”

"In that case, I asked my father if he knew what the edict of the first emperor had written. It is true that the Bo family is allowed to protect the country, and at the same time, maybe the Yan family has the right to supervise, and I don't need to say more about the Yan family's dealings with the Western Jin Dynasty, at that time, the Bo family will be supervised by the Yan family, so I am not afraid that the Yan family will eventually usurp the Zhao country? I am also thinking about the country, and besides, the holy decree states that the harem is not produced and buried with the palace concubines below the fourth grade, so those people are not human lives? Although I indirectly killed Yao Yu, but I also saved so many people's lives, if my father doesn't believe it, he can naturally ask Mama Yang, Mama Yang was also there when the first emperor died, and Qi Xuan had already led people to surround the palace at that time, if I hadn't prepared in advance, it would have been a disaster for me and the entire Bo family! These fathers don't think about it! Instead, he asked me if I ......" Bo Yan took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "In my father's heart, I am such a vicious person, I can poison the emperor!" ”

Bo Zhongqing was stunned when he heard this: "On the day of the emperor's death, Concubine Xuan led people to surround the palace? How did you never say that. ”

"Did my father give me a chance, last night on the line of life and death, how did I survive! Qi Xuan was assassinated and wanted to frame me, and now he is still lying in the palace, I don't want to worry the Bo family, and I don't have time to explain it to you, but my father asked me a lot when I met, what do you tell me to say! If my father still doesn't believe it, I'll invite Mama Yang, she is the old man next to the first emperor, since my father is loyal to the king, you don't believe my words, you should believe her words! ”

Bo Zhongqing was silent, thought for a moment, let out a long sigh, and said in a hoarse voice: "The old minister knows that saying these words hurts the heart of the queen's mother, but loyalty is the duty, the mother has been in the harem for so long, the old minister wants to ......"

"What are you thinking," Bo Yan sneered: "Are you thinking that this palace should also train the heart of a femme fatale like others?" Since my father knows what kind of place the harem is, what did my father do for me, in addition to the false name of the eldest daughter of the Bo family, I have to plan and deal with it myself, and now I just make a decision to be ruthless, and my father thinks that I am not the kind of daughter who knows etiquette and obedience that the Bo family wants, so what does my father want? A corpse that was slaughtered and then executed is worthy of the reputation of the Bo family's loyalty? "In the previous life, my own mental exhaustion, nine times out of ten, it was the inaction of the Bo family who cared about the identity of the courtiers, and pushed themselves to the front and endured all the wind and waves.

"That's not what the old minister meant." Bo Zhongqing argued, but what he said was not convincing at all.

"The old minister just thinks that there are many things, just like Yao Yu this time, the queen mother can naturally discuss with the old minister first before making a decision."

Bo Yan sneered when he heard this: "Discuss? Father has always acted according to the rules, can you allow me to give an order to Captain Qian to cut first and then play, and will you allow me to change the edict? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and my father will not forget, although you also understand that you can't let the Yan family take power, but you will still do it according to the holy decree, and mine, what I do is just to seek stability for me and the Bo family, is it such a heinous thing in my father's mouth? If the father has a daughter in his heart, how can he watch his daughter suffer these hardships in the palace, father, you are the best knife in Zhao Kingdom, so what about me? ”

Bo Zhongqing's concept of loyalty to the country has followed him from birth to the present, he is pedantic, and no one can change it, but he has nowhere to tell about his grievances for so long, and he will no longer be naïve to expect the Bo family to help him, but he doesn't want to be said like this, let alone his closest person.

Bo Zhongqing was speechless, she had always turned a blind eye to what happened to Bo Yan, she was framed and excluded by Qi Xuan in the palace, she was disgusted by the prince, she had to bother to please the emperor, these are all understood by herself as a father, but as a foreign minister, what can she say and do? Bo Zhongqing also has his own helplessness, even if his helplessness looks very cold-blooded, but in his opinion, it is forced by the situation, he consciously serves the country and the people in his life, but he is stingy in his heart to leave a little bit of space for Bo Yan.

Bo Yan turned around helplessly, sighed long, and felt that he didn't even have the strength to speak, just that, thinking that there were too many things in the past two days, which made him uneasy, and today he was stimulated by his father's attitude to say these complaining words, after all, he is the Bo family, and the blood and family relationship cannot be broken, this is the fetters of his life, just as he owed the Bo family in his previous life, and planned to repay the debt for them in this life.

Bo Yan calmed down and continued, "Anyway, the Yan family is not in power now, my father only needs to know, you have to guard the country of Zhao, and so do I, but I have my way, since the purpose is the same, please ask my father not to object to anything for the sake of flesh and blood." ”

Bo Zhongqing's lips moved, sighed, and listened to Bo Yan's words, where did he still have the face to say something.

"If there's nothing to do, go back and ask my mother how well I'm doing." Bo Yan rubbed his eyebrows, only feeling a headache.

"Rou'er ......" Bo Zhongqing sighed: "Father, he also has his own hardships, the first emperor treated the Bo family well, and his father was just ......"

"I see!" Bo Yan closed his eyes, unwilling to open his eyes and look at Bo Zhongqing again, he didn't expect to be able to move him, but he really couldn't face him calmly.

Bo Zhongqing slowly retracted the hand that stretched out his hand towards Bo Yan, was silent for a moment, and knelt down to greet him: "The old minister understands, the queen mother, take care of your body." ”

After hearing the footsteps and the opening and closing of the palace gate, Bo Yan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of exhaustion and sadness, and he looked at the empty hall in a blink of an eye, laughing at himself, whether it was the position of the queen or the dignity of the queen mother, there was no one around him after all.

Thinking about it this way, with a pedantic and inflexible character like Bo Zhongqing can stand in the officialdom for many years, and it really depends on Emperor Jiahe, if there is no protection and trust of Emperor Jiahe, how can such an old-fashioned and honest person like Bo Zhongqing sit in the position of prime minister for so many years, but Emperor Jiahe regarded the Bo family as a knife, but it really gave the Bo family, especially Bo Zhongqing, benefits, so to speak, it is not without reason that Bo Zhongqing is grateful to Emperor Jiahe.

After wandering in the world for a long time, I don't know when Pei Yao came to Bo Yan's side: "Queen Mother." ”

Bo Yan came back to his senses and blinked: "What's the matter?" ”

Pei Yao said: "I just received the news, the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jin'an, has just entered the city, and he should be coming to the palace at this time, Niangniang," Pei Yao glanced at the thin white face, and frowned: "Niangniang, let's send someone to greet you, and rest today." ”

Bo Yan raised his eyebrows, Jin'an is back? She had come back much earlier than she had expected, but thankfully it was a foregone conclusion.

"No, Hongu will go in person." Bo Rouge propped himself up and got up.

"Mother." Pei Yao's face was full of worry.

Bo Yan shook his head, signaling that it was okay, it was okay on weekdays, Zhao Guo had just experienced such a big change, even if he couldn't show the most glorious side, he would never be able to show his weakness, besides, he had to see Jin An with his own eyes to analyze his next move, know himself and his enemy, and be invincible, he should have suffered a lot on this trip to the border city, and then look at the form of the Yan family now, I don't know if Jin An has the intention of retreating in his heart, and he needs to see him before making a conclusion.

"Queen Mother, Lord Liu also took the initiative to ask for help, saying that she could take on the problem of reorganizing the forbidden army in the palace, although Lord Qian looked loyal, but after all, he was an outsider, and at this time, there could be no trouble." Pei Yao said.

Bo Yan was straightening his sideburns, and he was stunned when he heard the words, Lord Liu? Naturally, it is her cousin Liu Zhao, although she has never liked to contact him, but she is right, the palace guards are especially important, especially in today's situation, what if Qian Wei defects? It is better to arrange a person you can trust, Liu Zhao is indeed a good candidate.
