"But in the court, without the support of civil servants, I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with the prince."

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but feel melancholy.

I don't know since when, the generals seemed to be gradually moving closer to the prince.

He had previously allowed those people to get close to the prince in an attempt to let the emperor see that the prince was surrounded by military generals.

After all, when the emperor himself raised an army, he also brought a group of generals with him.

Now that this person has been replaced by a prince, he doesn't believe that the emperor will not be afraid.

But after so long, although the emperor had been suspicious of the prince before, he had never punished the prince in any substantial way, which made him very dissatisfied.

But he had to admit that with the support of military commanders in the court, he got half of that position.

Hearing this, Rong Jiao paused slightly while massaging Xuanyuan Jin's temples.

"My lord, you don't have to worry about the generals. They are just a bunch of trash."

"My father just said before that the time has not come yet, but he did not say that he would not help us. Let me write to my father again. My father will definitely help us."

Xuanyuan Jin's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Jiao'er, are you serious about this?"

Rong Jiao chuckled softly, "Your Majesty, didn't you also read the letter my father sent me?"

Xuanyuan Jin recalled the letter sent by Prince Rong before, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

But he always felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Seeing Xuanyuan Jin's frown, Rong Jiao comforted her softly.

"Your Majesty, I am the biological daughter of Prince Rong. Even if Prince Rong has no intention of raising an army, if I encounter danger in the capital, she will have to mobilize troops to help you, Your Majesty."

Rong Jiao leaned close to Xuanyuan Jin's ear and whispered softly.

Xuanyuan Jin was shocked. The biggest reason why he was willing to marry Rong Jiao before was because he liked Prince Rong behind Rong Jiao.

But he reminded Rong Jiao several times, hoping that Rong Jiao would get Prince Rong to support him.

But Rong Jiao didn't know how she told Prince Rong, but Prince Rong actually didn't agree to raise an army.

Just saying something specious made Xuanyuan Jin lose his previous trust in Rong Jiao.

After all, the greatest use value of Rong Jiao to him was Prince Rong behind her.

But if Prince Rong doesn't help them, then what's the point of keeping Rong Jiao here even if he wants to anger the emperor?

Over the past few days, he has repeatedly considered whether Rong Jiao still has any effect on him.

But now Rong Jiao's words made the worries in his heart disappear.

Yes, no matter how worried Prince Rong is, can he still watch something happen to his biological daughter?

If Prince Rong wants to keep Rong Jiao safe, he must send troops, help him, and support him.

The more Xuanyuan Jin thought about it, the happier he became, and finally he took Rong Jiao into his arms.

"Jiao'er, you are really my lucky star."

Rong Jiao exclaimed, then looked at Xuanyuan Jin with a shy face.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Jiao'er is lucky to have the prince's love for her."

Xuanyuan Jin laughed loudly, and the depressed mood just now was instantly swept away.

Rong Jiao put her hands around Xuanyuan Jin's neck, her beautiful eyes moving.

"My lord, don't worry. With your father's support, you can still compete with the prince."

"No matter what, I will support you."

These words made Xuanyuan Jin very satisfied, and he couldn't help but hug the person in his arms a little tighter.

"Jiao'er, I am lucky to have you."

Rong Jiao raised the corners of her lips proudly, she was the one who could stand beside Xuanyuan Jin.

Regardless of whether it was Wang Min or that cheap maid, she would eventually step on her feet.

Rong Jiao's words did give Xuanyuan Jin some comfort, but thinking about those people in the prison who had not been questioned and executed, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but frown.

"Jiao'er, do you know that my father beheaded more than a dozen officials this time, but some officials were not beheaded but were imprisoned in prison."

"It's not a good thing for us that those people are being held for interrogation."

Xuanyuan Jin felt that they had to think of a good way to rescue the people in the prison to be serious. Otherwise, if they were allowed to stay in the prison and be interrogated, they might reveal something.

Hearing this, Rong Jiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"If that's the case, then kill him."

When Xuanyuan Jin heard this, he looked at the woman in his arms in astonishment.

"Jiaoer."

Rong Jiao chuckled softly, "Is the prince afraid or unwilling to let go of some civil servants?"

Xuanyuan Jin did not expect that Rong Jiao would be so decisive and wanted to kill those people, and there was indeed a moment of panic in his heart.

But when meeting Rong Jiao's eyes, Xuanyuan Jin restrained his expression.

"Jiao'er, although those people have their faults, they are all talented people. In the future, they will also be my king's ministers. Now that I have killed them all, I am afraid that I will have no one to use in the court in the future. .”

The emperor killed so many civil servants at once, and no one could guarantee whether the emperor would continue killing people.

As for the generals, those people are not on his side now, and they may not support him in the future.

If he wants to check and balance those generals, these civil servants must exist.

Although the attitude of those military generals made him angry, he had to admit that today's Great Zhou Dynasty was indispensable for military generals.

But how to make those generals loyal to him is indeed not an easy task.

Rong Jiao couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Xuanyuan Jin's worry.

She raised her hand to smooth the wrinkles between Xuanyuan Jin's brows and said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry. If we kill them, we will have no worries. As for your future employment, at most we will cultivate a group of trustworthy people."

"Besides, supporting newcomers to rise to power is much more obedient than those old stubborn ones."

Xuanyuan Jin carefully considered Rong Jiao's words and fell into silence for a while.

He naturally knows about those aristocratic families in the capital.

Although they claim to be loyal to the emperor, if their own family interests are implicated, not even the royal family can do anything to them.

Xuanyuan Jin has considered this matter before, and he also knows that these aristocratic families have great disadvantages.

But he had to rely on the support of these aristocratic families and civil servants to gain a firm foothold in the court and compete with the prince.

When facing these high officials and children of aristocratic families before, Xuanyuan Jin really didn't know what to do.

But now Rong Jiao's words reminded him.

Yes, if he is disobedient, he will cultivate a group of his own people.

With his own people, he can not only use them easily, but also don't have to worry about these people having second thoughts.

"Jiao'er is really smart. With a wise man like you by my side, I will have nothing to worry about."

Rong Jiao received Xuanyuan Jin's praise and felt even more proud.
