Ji Lan laughed angrily.

This Zhang Xueyan is really as Yu Jin said, it is difficult to control.

"Is that how you talk to me? I'm your real father. ”

"You said yes, yes?" Zhang Xueyan was unmoved.

Ji Lan sat down, his expression falling into memory.

"I still remember that you were born in the depths of winter, at that time, I had not yet sat in this position, your mother was Miss Taishifu, with a noble status, and she suffered a lot after marrying me."

"There are treacherous waves in the officialdom, and it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows, in order to get ahead as soon as possible and let your mother live a good life, I offended many people along the way."

"A month after you were born, I was sent to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to check the salt tax, and when I went back a year later, I learned that you had been taken captive, and your mother was depressed all day long, and in the spring of the second year, my body was exhausted and the lamp was ......."

"After your mother left, I sent a lot of people to look for you, but at that time, I was only a small six-rank official, and I had no power or power, so I didn't bring you back until today."

He looked at Zhang Xueyan, his eyes moist, "You blame your father?" ”

Zhang Xueyan's expression was not moved, but asked rhetorically, "Then you hurriedly married me to the East Palace, what do you mean?" ”

Ji Lan wiped his tears with his sleeve, but it was a bit like the warm scene of father and daughter finally recognizing each other.

He adjusted his mood for a moment before he said, "Everything is for the Ji family." ”

"How?"

"The crown prince has an identity, without the support of his relatives, and most of the people inside and outside the court and the opposition are King Jing and King Chen."

"The crown prince's mother, the late Empress Xiaoduan's family, was killed and wounded in a great battle ten years ago, and the rest are some unknown people who can't help the prince at all."

"Then why did he become the crown prince?" Zhang Xueyan asked.

"The rules left by the ancestors are established."

"Then according to what you said, for the sake of the Ji family, you should go to help the powerful King Jing or King Chen, wouldn't this have a better chance of winning?"

Ji Lan smiled, "King Jing is from the current queen, and the people who follow him are like carp crossing the river; And King Chen is the queen of the favored concubine, the mother family is strong, where do I need to catch up. ”

"Besides...... I don't like icing on the cake, I know that it doesn't matter, so I can show my ability, right? ”

Zhang Xueyan sneered in her heart, she was really conceited.

In her view, this was simply an excuse.

The prince is difficult to support alone, and there are strong enemies eyeing him, thinking about stepping him off the prince's position all the time, Ji Lan went over to pull him at this time, and sent charcoal in the snow, so the prince can't be grateful to Dade and listen to him in everything?

In the long run, you can't slowly become a puppet?

He just wants to be the master of the imperial power.

It's just that why did he choose her as the line connecting Ji Mansion and the East Palace?

Ji Lan seemed to see her thoughts clearly, "Because your mother was born in the Taishi Mansion and is a third-generation single lineage, she values you very much."

"The old lady's students are all over the Southern Dynasty and will marry you. It is more conducive to our great cause. ”

"Then there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

Ji Lan sighed, "The power of King Jing and King Chen is in full swing, and Your Majesty has no intention of weighing the forces of all parties and letting the prince take a breath." ”

"According to my observation, there is also the meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so how can you not be in a hurry."

Zhang Xueyan observed his expression, but he said this sincerely, thinking that the situation between the DPRK and China is indeed not optimistic.

"If Your Majesty hadn't allowed them so much, how would the court be in such a state like it is now."
