"Elder Ling!" By the side, the Emperor could no longer bear to watch any longer. If this Duke Ling were to really kill off the three grandsons of the Yang Family, there would be no way to resolve this matter. The Sky Bearing Empire would probably disappear along with the two great families. "No matter what, the Empress was in the wrong today. Rest assured, Elder Ling, I will give you an explanation!"
The Emperor was also helpless. As a monarch, he could not afford to offend these two old men! He had no choice but to lower his stance. He sighed in his heart, thinking that he was the most cowardly among all the Emperors in history. In the imperial court, there were actually two people that even the Emperor did not dare to offend! If not for the sake of maintaining the balance of the empire, he would not have endured this!
Since the Emperor had spoken, no matter how unwilling Lin Zhan was, he could only give him some face. After all, he was the Emperor. Furthermore, almost all the civil and military officials were present. If he were to embarrass the Emperor in front of everyone, his family would be done for. It seemed like the matter of the Empress still needed some time to plan.
Furthermore, Lin Zhan gradually regained his senses after his outburst. He felt that today's matter was too outrageous. With Yang KongQun's viciousness, how could he do such a ridiculous thing? He had fought with him for his entire life, and today was completely unlike his style. He shook his head with a gloomy expression.
Empress Yang Xue had already been personally escorted back to the palace by Yang KongQun and the rest. Yang KongQun was still worried about his daughter! As the head of the Yang Family, Yang KongQun understood Lin Zhan very well! This old man had always been lawless. Even though his daughter was the Empress, in this old man's eyes, she was nothing. When it was time to act, he would not hesitate. If he could not give him a reasonable explanation for today's matter, even if his daughter was the Empress, a butcher's knife would hang over her head for a long time.
Before he left, Yang KongQun suddenly turned around and looked straight at Lin Zhan. He said in a deep voice, "Lin Zhan, you and I have been entangled for our entire lives. I know you, and you know me! If I really wanted your grandson's life, would today's situation have happened? Even though I can't deal with your entire Ling family, do you think that I, Yang KongQun, will be able to deal with such a small fry? "
Yang KongQun's words were very frank, serious, and unbridled! Because when he said these words, the civil and military officials, as well as the current emperor, were all present. Saying such words was simply lawless and out of control! However, Yang KongQun knew that this was the only way to save his daughter's life. Only then would he be able to quench Lin Zhan's surging anger.
Moreover, this sentence sounded very bold, but it was undoubtedly an explanation to Lin Zhan. It was undoubtedly a sign of weakness. With such thoughts, at the very least, he was mentally weaker. To the prideful Yang KongQun, this was worse than death. But he had to do it. He had to say it. Because no matter how arrogant Yang KongQun was, he knew that he had not reached the level of Lin Zhan who would not even acknowledge the Heavenly Emperor! This old man really dared to do anything!
Hearing these words from Yang KongQun's mouth, the emperor's face changed slightly. These words were not pleasant to hear, but to the imperial family, it was the best way to deal with this. At the very least, the two great families would not be fighting in the near future.
However, Long Xiang's heart was extremely uncomfortable! There had never been a moment when he wanted to destroy these two great families as much as he did now! He was very clear that as long as these two great families existed, the imperial family's position would always be on the verge of collapse. But if one of these two great families fell, the entire Sky Bearing Empire would definitely collapse!
Either both of them would survive, or both of them would perish together! Other than this, there was no third way! Thus, he had been enduring.
Yang KongQun left after saying those words. Lin Zhan frowned for a long time, then suddenly laughed. Suddenly, as if nothing had happened, he raised his voice and said, "Today, this old man is extremely grateful for the presence of all the daren. In particular, the Emperor personally took time out of his busy schedule to come to my humble abode. This really makes this old man's face shine. Here, this old man thanks the Emperor for his grace." After saying that, he bowed deeply.
Long Xiang hurriedly helped him up and said, "Old Sir is too polite. Today's matter has made us blush with shame."
Lin Zhan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is too serious." As he said that, he suddenly smiled and said, "Come, bring out the things. This old man wants to see what my grandson can catch today. Hahaha. "
Everyone was full of admiration in their hearts! If an ordinary person met with such a situation, they would have been furious. If a child was frightened like this, they would have been carried into the inner hall like a precious treasure. But this Duke Ling was still angry just a moment ago, and the next moment, he was beaming with joy! His ability to change faces was truly at the pinnacle of perfection. He actually acted as if nothing had happened, and even insisted on letting his grandson catch Zhou Zhou! It seemed that this old man was able to move unhindered in the world since he was young, standing tall for more than 40 years. He really did have some skills!
Some of the officials who had been cursing in their hearts for a long time secretly felt lucky! So it turned out that this rash old man was actually playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger. Luckily, they did not jump out to oppose him. They were too wise! With this old fox's ability, he would probably sell them all off, and they would still have to help him count the money … They had to reevaluate the Ling family.
Ling Tian felt that the old master should really go to his world to act in Sichuan Opera.
But in reality, these people had overestimated Lin Zhan. Lin Zhan already knew that this matter was definitely not done by Yang KongQun. If one had to say that it was not a coincidence or an accident, then it could only be done by Yang KongQun's precious daughter who was the Empress! If that was really the case, then such a short-sighted woman was really not worth his attention!
At this moment, Yang KongQun was sitting in his daughter Yang Xue's sedan with a serious face, "What exactly happened? You are usually not so impatient. "
Yang Xue wanted to cry but had no tears. Even her own father was suspecting her sincerity! "Father, today's matter was indeed an accident!"
Yang KongQun stared at her face, as if he was looking at her meaningfully, "Speak."
Yang Xue 'er's heart gradually calmed down, and she recounted the scene with tears in her eyes, "Two parts of my body were in pain at the same time, and I unknowingly let go."
Yang KongQun frowned, not saying a word for a long time. At this moment, both father and daughter had the same suspicion, "Just who was the one who pushed the blame onto others?" Could it be that there was a fourth power in the Sky Bearing Empire that they did not know of?
Both of them did not link it to the little baby who embarrassed the Empress. After all, that was only a baby who was still stuttering when he called out for his father and mother.
Yang KongQun thought for a long time, "Even if it was not you, even if today's matter was an accident, you must have thought about it before, right?"
Yang Xue lowered her head. It was obvious that she had silently agreed.
Yang KongQun let out a long sigh, and said bleakly, "A married lady is like spilled water. Father does not blame you, but if you did not think of it that way, it would be strange." As he said that, he let out another long sigh, as if he was bored to death.
Yang Xue was extremely intelligent, and naturally understood what her father meant by that. Although the Ling family and the Yang Family had been enemies for a long time, the fate of the two families was already tied together! If he really destroyed the Ling family, then the Yang Family would also be destroyed! The two families restrained each other, and were wary of each other, which was why they could barely maintain the current state of the empire. If one family was no longer around, and the other family took over, then the empire would definitely not allow such a giant to continue existing, and destruction would only be a matter of time.
Thus, from another perspective, destroying the Ling family was equivalent to forcing his own family into a dead end! Thus, Yang KongQun's current expression was so bleak.
But of course, Yang Xue had her own reasons. Her son, the current crown prince, was already three years old, and she had to make plans for her son. The Ling family had always held too much power, and their influence on the imperial court and the military was unbelievably strong! In the past, the Ling family did not have any descendants, so even if they had ambitions, they would suppress them. But now, the situation was different! With this little one, the Ling family had already reached a critical point.
The Ling family was too big, and had already reached a point where the imperial family could not help but tremble in fear. If their ambitions were to overflow, then her son would be the first to die. Yang Xue did not want to see that kind of situation. Thus, Yang Xue tried her best to nip it in the bud. Even if this would cause her family to be destroyed along with the Ling family, when the time came, with her own crown prince in the imperial court, at the very least, her family would be able to survive. As long as her son successfully became the emperor in the future, then even if the Yang Family was now in decline, there would still be a chance for them to rise again! However, if the Ling Family were to make the first move, then it wouldn't just be a problem for the Yang Family. Even the Royal Family would be annihilated!
Before she got married, she was just a pure daughter of the Yang Family! But now, she was first and foremost a mother, and she had to protect her son. Secondly, she was the current empress, and similarly, she had to protect the foundation of her ancestors! Lastly, she was the daughter of the Yang Family! Thus, although Yang Xue felt guilty towards her father, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong.
Yang KongQun sighed, as if he had suddenly aged a few years. After a long time, he said, "The Ling family will not deal with you anymore, but they will definitely pay more attention to you. So, I will not stop you from doing anything, but for the next few years, you are not allowed to do anything." He sighed and said bleakly, "Only by protecting yourself can you deal with the enemy. Alright, we are almost at the palace, I will go back first. "As he spoke, he did not wait for Yang Xue to say anything and got off the sedan.
Yang Xue looked at her father's back, and her eyes reddened, but she did not say anything.
After Yang KongQun got off the sedan, he stood there for a while, as if waiting for Yang Xue to say something to him. Seeing that Yang Xue did not speak, he finally sighed deeply, put his hands behind his back, and took two steps forward. Suddenly, he stopped and said slowly, "He is just a baby. Even if he is a genius, you still have time before he becomes an adult! Why don't you wait and see for a few years? Maybe he is not worth dealing with. Don't worry too much. Even if … when the time comes … it will not be too late! "Yang Xue's eyes lit up!
After saying this, Yang KongQun continued to walk forward, and did not look back. After all, his daughter was not just his own daughter, but the mother of the Crown Prince, and the empress of the Emperor! As her father, he had already forced her for eighteen years, so it was better not to force her anymore. Let her do whatever she wants.
Yang Xue looked at her father's back as he left. He seemed to be a little hunched, and she could not help but stare in a daze, and her eyes were filled with tears. After a long time, Yang Xue's beautiful eyes regained their usual coldness, and her gaze gradually became cold. She lazily leaned against the cushion and coldly said, "Return to the palace."
