After Xie Yuan left, Mingjin didn't stay at the lake for long. Instead, she took the opposite path to her own home, but she kept thinking about one thing - whether her father still treated her as her mother still did.

In those years, she was still the same as four years ago, fighting for power at all costs, which hurt her deeply.

But she soon discovered that this question was meaningless, because she would never have the infinite admiration and trust in her father as she did when she was young.

What separates them is not only their divergent political opinions, but also the blood and blood strewn across the land.

So which question makes sense?

"He also said that a banquet king who has no real power and is restricted by the court is not a concern, so why did he let the other party go through the obvious path of marriage? A son-in-law who has no role in politics, the only benefit is that he is a member of the royal family.

The title of noble relative may be the icing on the cake for other aristocratic families, but for Gaozu Qin, one of the hereditary and irreplaceable Xie family, it is useless. It also has disadvantages for him who has great power in the cabinet and can easily provoke the royal family and other cabinets.

I am suspicious, and he should be very clear about this fact - this engagement is actually not beneficial to him in terms of interests."

She actually knows her own value very well. Regardless of whether Xie Yuan has father-daughter feelings for her, as his only legitimate daughter, her marriage has a strong marriage value. Let alone a banquet king, it is a higher benefit.

Can be plotted.

Her background as the daughter of the Xie family and Xie Yuan makes her worthy of such value.

"It can't be because I am of no use to him and sent him out of the cabinet at will. That is... he needs this gift of marriage. It has nothing to do with the long-term benefits of the marriage, but only with its current situation."

The gift of marriage will eventually become invalid, but it has an effect before it becomes invalid!

After Mingjin analyzed it, he came up with the only possibility.

"His real purpose is to use King Yan as a bait, first obey King Yan's marriage proposal, then frame him for rebellion, get the person into the Supervisory Yuan, and then use this situation to force King Yan to seek help from the person behind it - yes, he has no real power.

There is no way I can coerce the Xie family, nor can I shake the king, and it is impossible for him to have the courage to take action against me, or even publicly humiliate me after granting me a marriage."

"Is the father's goal the person behind the scenes... to reveal his identity, or does he already know his identity but wants to expose him to the court, so he introduces the Overwatch Council?"

In fact, four years ago, she had vaguely noticed that her father seemed to have been fighting with others. She also questioned him, but the latter treated him indifferently, and she could not find any trace. Instead, she saw the actual benefits of her father's struggle for power.

Disheartened.

But now it seems that if this person actually exists, it proves that the fight between her father and this person has reached the point where they are incompatible with each other and will be put on the table.

Perhaps this is also the fundamental reason why she was summoned.

Ming Jin's thinking soon expanded to include the entire court, including the cabinet, the Overwatch Council, and the clan.

A banquet king can indeed cause such a big disturbance.

"If the people behind the scenes don't take action, King Yan will be punished for collaborating with the enemy. He will bite out the other party in order to protect himself. If he takes action, it will be equivalent to exposing himself..."

Ming Jin had to admit that her father was indeed cruel.

Now it depends on what means his opponent will use to solve this situation.

But it's good for her.

Ming Jin's eyes flashed slightly, and when she saw Shaoyao coming in, her mouth moved slightly, and she was telling the other party to call someone. She wanted to start monitoring the news about King Yan, whether there was relevant people involved in the investigation against him, or whether there was anyone trying to rescue him.

Even the reactions of the civil and military officials in the court require huge intelligence support.

Shaoyao didn't know the truth yet, so she just agreed to go out and contact the dark man, but was suddenly stopped by Ming Jin.

"etc."

"girl?"

Ming Jin frowned and tapped her fingers on the table. Just as she thought about it, she immediately thought that her father already knew about the men and horses in her hands. He was obviously unwilling to get involved in this war because he was an extremely stubborn person.

People, it was not allowed four years ago, and it is the same now. Otherwise, just make it clear to her, so why are the two fathers and daughters testing each other and being wary of each other?

In this case, she can't use the Tengu and the others, and the secret guards can't be used.

"No movement."

"Eh?"

Ming Jin smiled faintly, "If you don't have the ability, you won't stand out. There's nothing wrong with being good."

"No one in this world will always spoil me, including my father."

The lessons learned four years ago are still fresh in my mind.

Thinking of the tragic scene after her house was ransacked and her family exterminated, and the experience of being humiliated when she went back to the house to question her, the light in Ming Jin's eyes was infinitely restrained, and finally she became calm.

She is no longer the innocent little girl she once was.

Within three days, the news about the Huaxianglou Dahuang spy case involving the King of Banquets spread throughout the capital, and naturally spread to all the prefectures and cities, but the key lies in the court and the people.

Above the court, the clan and officials were particularly cautious. They did not want to over-protect a prince and offend the authority of the current king, but they also did not dare to let a close-blooded prince suffer injustice. Especially the clan, they themselves sided with the imperial power.

However, the internal battles within the imperial power have been particularly fierce since ancient times. Emperor Gaozu once directly stated that if you are a royal family, you should understand that there are two people in the mortal family who are superior and inferior. If there are more than three people, there will be a fight. If there are hundreds of thousands of people, there will be a fight.

war.

King Yan is living a good life, but other clans are not happy about it. If King Yan really wants to die, other clans are not willing either.

Under the king, the clan is connected with the same spirit to maintain the overall fighting strength, so as to avoid the death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox. This is a balancing act.

Now, it's going to be broken.

The court is bustling, the Overwatch Council is under great pressure, and searches are everywhere. The capital's aristocratic families are cautious, especially those who have been closely associated with King Yan, are on pins and needles, especially since some people have begun to be summoned, and the girls from the brothels have also been summoned.

Got a lot of inquiries....

The strange thing is that no one in the court mentioned the recent marriage.

"In fact, it's not surprising. No one from the neutral faction can be offended, because the only effect of mentioning it is to drag the father into the water. It may make the case more complicated and difficult to handle, which is not conducive to stabilizing the situation. And dragging the father into the water will also

It is tantamount to allowing themselves to follow suit, which goes against their original political stance. The group that wants to deal with their father is naturally happy to use this opportunity to attack his father, but the problem is that this marriage was granted by the emperor and was not sought by his father.

They never responded. The first person they mentioned about this engagement was Your Majesty. This was not worth the gain, so it led to a situation where no one in the court mentioned it, as if they were waiting for Your Majesty to express his opinion. "

In the warm pavilion in the study, early in the morning, Ming Jin took the initiative to grill Xie Zhipur on this political proposition. After the latter was shocked, he thought carefully and finally gave this answer.

Xie Zhichun is smart and sensitive, and his tolerant nature makes him better at thinking. This is an advantage, but the disadvantage is that he lacks offensiveness and is not strong enough. But before he grows up and becomes an official, the advantages generally outweigh the disadvantages.

Ming Jin held the warm and fragrant tea cup, her whole body was embraced by the smell of tea brewing nearby. She listened quietly without making any comments.

She was also waiting, but the strange thing was that she didn't wait until someone took action against King Banquet.

Could it be that the person behind the scenes cherishes feathers and refuses to save him?

But looking at those scum like King Yan, he definitely doesn't look like someone who knows how to appoint someone.
