The tyrant's mother was reborn, and all the civil and military officials cried with joy

Lin Wan couldn't even believe his ears and looked at him in disbelief: "We are vassal kings, and now Huang Shang wants to reduce the power of the vassal kings, and you tell me that this is a good thing for the country and the people? Dad, are you getting senile?"

This unfortunate child is really bad at speaking, isn’t he?

Lin Yao rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I'm your father, what nonsense are you talking to me about? Are you looking for death?"

"No, I was just saying it casually. Besides, what will we do after the reduction of the feudal system? Are we going to be controlled by others for the rest of our lives?"

Lin Wan is more nervous than anyone else right now, mainly because Lin Yao is already old, and he will soon become the next King of Pingxi. Isn't it cheating to reduce the power of the feudal lords at this time?

Seeing his anxious look, Lin Yao asked directly: "Do you want to rebel and become emperor?"

"Of course not!" Lin Wan quickly shook his head: "I know I don't have that fate, so I thought that it would be enough for me to be a good prince. I didn't want anything else. But the problem is that even if I just want to be a prince, it won't work now. The court is going to reduce the power of the vassal states. When that time comes, we will have no military power in our hands. Won't we be bullied by others?"

Although what he said made some sense, Lin Yao still shook his head: "Anyway, don't act rashly now. It is because the court has new plans that we can't act recklessly. Don't forget that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot!"

Lin Wan originally thought that Lin Yao had no idea, but she never expected that he had already planned it out.

He thought for a moment, then stepped forward, looked at Lin Yao curiously, and whispered, "Dad, what should we do next?"

"Eat when you're supposed to, sleep when you're supposed to, do what you're supposed to do, what? Are you just not going to live your life anymore?" Lin Yao rolled his eyes.

Ever since meeting Zhu Yue, Lin Yao seemed like a different person. All his previous plans were shelved, and now he just wanted to wait for Zhu Yue to come back and give him accurate news.

Looking at Lin Yao like this, Lin Wan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. What was wrong?

He frowned and returned to his room. After entering the room, he looked at his counselor Yang Fa and said, "What on earth is going on with father? He clearly promised everything before, why doesn't he seem to do it now?"

"Do you know about the relationship between the prince and Queen Mother Zhu?" Yang Fa smiled and looked at Lin Wan.

After hearing this, Lin Wan shook his head and said unhappily, "My mother is always angry about this kind of thing and I don't dare to ask casually. Besides, she is the queen mother and my father is the prince. There should be no affection between them, right?"

Seeing Lin Wan like this, Yang Fa hesitated for a moment and then said directly: "When the late emperor was here, the two of them definitely had no relationship, but now the late emperor is gone and she is back, so I think she must have some other ideas. You must have seen people giving up their kingdom for a beauty, right?"

what?

Lin Wan had been thinking over and over again these days, wondering what went wrong. After hearing these words, he suddenly felt terrible. He thought of many possibilities but never expected that his old father would actually be like this?

This is this...

How can you behave like this at your age?

Lin Wan's face turned very ugly, so he said angrily: "It would be fine if mother didn't know about this, but once mother knew about it, it would be the end. By then, the whole palace would be in chaos! Not to mention keeping the military power in our hands, we don't even know if we can still live by then!"

"What should we do? What should we do now?" Lin Wan held Yang Fa's hand and looked at him worriedly.

Seeing Lin Wan's nervous expression, Yang Fa said helplessly, "Young Master, do you really think this is the most important thing now?"

If this isn't important, then what is important?

Lin Wan took a deep breath and said, "I tell you, a harmonious family brings prosperity. My mother is definitely not a simple character. If she really finds out about this, I'm afraid neither me nor my father will live long!"

Is this...really that serious?

Chen Fa looked at him and hesitated for a moment before asking, "So what is the most important thing for us now? Is it... is it to maintain the cooperation with Huadao Country, or to stabilize the palace first?"

Lin Wan originally thought that this was just one thing, but he never expected that it was actually two things?

He touched his nose and then whispered, "Actually, I think what my father said makes some sense. Since the emperor is about to start reducing the power of the feudal lords, we must be the focus of attention. Now that I think about it, it seems that we should keep a low profile and never do anything that we shouldn't do, let alone stand out from the crowd!"

After hearing this, Chen Fa nodded and then said with a smile: "The prince is actually a very transparent person, so I think that the prince should not only be doing this for the little bit of youthful affection back then!"

Although Lin Wan didn't know what his old father was doing, he knew that he was just a prince and he couldn't make all the decisions about the palace's affairs.

After thinking about this, Lin Wan could only nod obediently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he said with a smile: "Then we should first figure out the inside of the palace. If my mother really hears some rumors, it will be terrible. Clean it up, clean it up!"

In just a few days, Zhu Yue and Qin Yan had arrived in the southwest. However, the two were not in a hurry at all, especially Zhu Yue, who took Qin Yan here to eat and drink and had a great time.

Qin Yan was also happy when he saw Zhu Yue's happy face, but Lu He who was following behind them couldn't smile at all.

"Aren't we here to do business? Why are we eating and drinking here now?"

"Ayue, can we do something serious? I beg you, can you be a little more serious?"

Lu He had never seen such a woman before. All she thought about was eating and drinking.

After hearing this, Zhu Yue stuffed a candied haws into his hand and said with a smile, "I'm telling you, I have experience. Many of the delicious foods here are very famous. You definitely can't eat them in Beijing, so you should take this opportunity to have a good taste and see for yourself, okay?"
