I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

The prince was obviously a little surprised by this statement. After all, since the emperor ascended the throne, he no longer cared about the territory and people as much as before.

On the contrary, he is very concerned about those so-called false reputations. Such a style of doing things behind the scenes would definitely not be possible if he were the emperor in the past.

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but groaned.

"It seems that my father still cares about the people."

King Ling snorted coldly and did not explain.

The prince always had some inexplicable expectations for the emperor, but the emperor was still the emperor or the prince's father. It was hard for Prince Ling to criticize the emperor on this matter.

What's more, the emperor is his biological brother, so it's not good for him to lose the emperor's face in front of the prince.

But he couldn't bear to look at the prince like this. He might be deceived into something by the emperor in the future.

"Don't have too many illusions about your father. After so many years, don't you still know what kind of person he is?"

When the prince heard what King Ling said, he fell silent for a while.

How could he not know?

When the emperor suppressed even the prince himself for the sake of civil servants, he already knew his father's thoughts.

Vain, eager for success, and likes to hear flattery...

But he couldn't say these words, and he couldn't say them.

That was his father, the father he once admired most.

Although he didn't know why the emperor became like this, in the prince's mind, his father was still the general Zeng Jin who could mount a horse and lead an army.

As for the civil servants in the court where the emperor's heart was attracted, in the prince's opinion, it was just those people who deceived the emperor.

If he had heard these disparaging words about the emperor before, the prince would definitely refute them.

But now it was King Ling who said this, a brother of the emperor's mother. The prince didn't know how to respond to King Ling's words.

Seeing the prince like this, Prince Ling couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Have you forgotten what happened to those civil servants and generals in the court?"

Thinking of the reason why the emperor ignored him as the prince, the prince's eyes also showed a trace of bitterness.

He really wanted to share his father's worries, but his father didn't seem to need it...

Thinking of the quarrel between the two masters, the prince couldn't help but closed his eyes.

I don’t know if Dazhou has become like this now. Has Father really reflected on it?

Seeing that the prince did not speak, Prince Ling also knew the conflict in his heart.

In the heart of the prince, the emperor is still his father.But when the emperor sat in that position, no family affection or lover could compare to the throne he was sitting on.

Thinking of this, King Ling's expression became a little lighter.

However, he did not tell the prince these words. There were some things that the prince himself could not understand, and it would be useless for him to talk too much.

"The Tian family is ruthless, don't let yourself fall into emotions you shouldn't have."

"You are the prince, the crown prince of this great Zhou Dynasty. What you have to do is far more than that. If you indulge in the so-called family love, you may not be able to hold that position securely."

When the prince heard what Prince Ling said, he raised his head in astonishment.

In his heart, Prince Ling would never tell him this.

Prince Ling paid little attention to matters in the court.

But now Prince Ling told him this, which made the prince feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle..."

As if sensing the prince's attachment, Prince Ling stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, no matter what time, my uncle will always be your uncle."

When the prince heard this, his eyes started to heat up.

"Okay, sir, what does it look like if your eyes turn red all the time?"

"I heard that Madam Zhu is going to make some fresh food today. If you don't want to go, then just stay here alone."

When King Ling finished speaking, he had already taken several steps.

When the prince came back to his senses, he saw that Prince Ling was already some distance away from him.

"Uncle, wait for me."

The prince has only tasted Zhu Qiuqi's craftsmanship once.

But just once, the prince was a little concerned about that bite.

That spicy crayfish, he can't help but swallow his saliva just thinking about it.

……

Everything is going well in Xiao Zhangzhuang, but people in the capital are panicked.

After General Liu was punished, everyone in the court had their own thoughts.

Some of the generals were leaderless, and many people went to Liu's mansion to have a look in private.

But no matter who it is, the Liu Mansion always refuses guests behind closed doors.

This also made one of the generals in the court even more worried. They thought that Deputy General Liu was too seriously injured, so he had to close the door to thank guests.

As for the civil servants, without the pressure of Vice General Liu in the court, everyone seemed to be very high-spirited, except Sima Lian who stood at the front.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the expressions of the courtiers below with a calm expression.

When he saw Sima Lian, he not only cursed the old fox in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on at the border. Do we, the Zhou Dynasty, want to send people to negotiate peace now?"

The emperor did not answer, but looked calmly at the minister who stood up and asked for peace again.

But he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. He didn't know what kind of benefits those people in Fanbang had given these people, so that they could not wait to negotiate a peace and give away the land of Great Zhou.

The emperor did not speak, and the ministers who stood up to propose could not help but beat their hearts.

After such a long time, the emperor still did not make a statement on the peace negotiation, which also proved the emperor's hesitation.

If you stand up and propose this matter at this time, you may be worried about the emperor.

But thinking about the box of gold he received last night, the minister who stood up looked a little firmer.

In the final analysis, Dazhou only lost a few cities, and it was not a major loss.

After a simple peace negotiation, the emperor still hesitated until now, which made many people who accepted the gift from Fan Bang's little prince feel dissatisfied.

I originally thought that civil servants like them were more important than generals in the emperor's heart. As long as it was their proposal, the emperor would definitely agree.

If the emperor wants to be a benevolent king, he must listen to the advice of these civil servants.

It is precisely because of this that they have been able to handle the emperor very well over the years.

But now the emperor seems to be a little different from before. He doesn't seem to care about reputation so much, which makes many people feel uncertain.

If the emperor really doesn't care about reputation, will the emperor still listen to their advice?

They had negotiated with the little prince of Fanbang. If this peace negotiation was successful, they would get even greater benefits.

But if the emperor did not agree to negotiate peace, not only would they lose the benefits they had negotiated before, but they would also have to return everything they had received from the prince of Fanbang.

Naturally, these civil servants in the court were unwilling. Many of their money had already been given to the beautiful concubines they were raising.
