Chapter 107: In the past, we had great ambitions 29
After entering the capital, Ling Liang first returned to Cui's house and waited for the emperor to summon him to the palace.
The young master is back!
Everyone in the Cui Mansion was beaming with joy, and the maids and servants were busy with their steps.
Mrs. Cui forgot the etiquette she had learned and went to the door in person to welcome her son home.
"I lost weight, lost weight again!"
Mrs. Cui held one of his hands and looked at him for a long time, tears falling down her cheeks.
She and her son have not seen each other for more than a year. They agreed in the letter to return home for the New Year this year, but the sudden war made it impossible to reunite the family.
Day and night during the fighting on the border, she could not sit still, for fear that her servants would come to report the news of her son's accident.
Fortunately, God blessed her. Not only was her Zixing not injured, she also won a great victory.
She said that her son was capable and would succeed in whatever he did. Look, who in Da'an could be better than her son, the God of War?
Neither can the prince.
Poor Zixing couldn't eat or sleep well in that miserable place, and he was worried about the war. He was obviously not so thin last time.
Mrs. Cui immediately began to plan the ingredients for her son's health.
Ling Liang couldn't laugh or cry, but he had lost some weight, and Mrs. Cui's reaction was too intense.
This love for his son was too much for him.
After Cui Xueshi waited for his wife to finish talking to his son, he hurriedly went out to tell the kitchen what to cook. Shen Chen glanced at his son, got up and walked out, "Zixing, follow me to the study."
Ling Liang suppressed his smile and looked serious, "Yes."
In the study, Academician Cui leaned on the back of his chair and flipped through the two envelopes on the table, "Do you know what these are?"
Ling Liang: "Memorial. Dare I ask my father, is this a memorial to impeach me?"
"No."
Academician Cui threw one of the memorials to Ling Liang, "On the contrary, these memorials will praise you to the heavens and the earth. The one you have is from the Minister of Rites. He asked the Holy One to make you a marquis."
Ling Liang quickly browsed through the excerpt, skipping the long and gorgeous words, and fixed his eyes on the line at the end, "I sincerely request your Majesty to ennoble Cui Shi Zixing as a marquis."
"The Minister of Rites is a confidant of the Holy Emperor. He has such good intentions? My father doesn't believe it."
Academician Cui sneered and said disdainfully.
Their Cui family has been an official for six generations, including Zixing, it has extended to the seventh generation. Do they think they are rare for a title of Marquis in name only?
Ling Liang also laughed, "Flowers are blooming, fire is cooking oil, prosperity must decline. The higher you hold me up, the worse it will be for me when I fall down. Your Majesty is really a wonderful person. He played such a trick before taking someone's life." .”
Academician Cui raised his head suddenly, his sharp eyes like an eagle looking straight at him, "Is this true?"
"It's true."
Ling Liang found a chair and sat down, "And Zixing also wants to tell his father something. The prince has already forged evidence that I collaborated with the enemy and treason."
Academician Cui's expression changed several times, and he said softly: "The royal family can't tolerate my Cui family at all."
He didn't ask his son where he got the news, as he had his own channels.
Academician Cui tapped his fingertips on the desk, "As a father, I know that there is something fishy about Zixing's return to Beijing this time. I didn't expect that it would be the time to meet Tu Qiongdeng so soon."
He sighed, "Zixing, how can my father help you escape this disaster?"
Every member of the Cui family has a relationship with the Cui family, both prosperous and destructive. If the Holy One uses Zixing to open the knife to sacrifice the flag, one day the butcher's knife will definitely fall on the heads of everyone in the Cui family.
However, the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason is so heavy that it makes people feel frightened. The Holy Emperor will not let Zixing go. Cui Xueshi is so confused that he can't think of any good solution.
Ling Liang reminded him in a low voice: "Father, I feel that now that things have happened, apart from that road, do I have any other choice?"
Scholar Cui's head seemed to have been punched. He stared at Ling Liang blankly, unable to say a word.
that way?
which way?
A word that was about to come out occupied his entire mind. He was trembling all over, and his hands and feet were cold.
I want to loudly reprimand my son for being rebellious, causing trouble, and not taking the family seriously.
But the person in front of him was his son, his only son. How could he bear to see him die?
He could not refuse any hope of keeping his son alive.
This important minister of Da'an, who had been in the court for 23 years, quickly calmed down after the initial extreme shock.
Needless to say, there will be consequences if this thing fails, but if the bet wins...
It is also an opportunity for their Cui family.
He asked Ling Liang: "How sure are you about this matter?"
Ling Liang rubbed the armrest of the chair and said, "[-]%. If you can get help from one person, it can be increased to [-]%."
Xuexian Cui: "Who is that person?"
"...Forget it, she is unlikely to help us."
Ling Liang frowned and dismissed the person. It was originally a secret with great risks. The more people knew about it, the more likely it would be exposed.
Before you understand the other person's true thoughts, hastily contacting the other person is definitely asking for death.
Xueshi Cui also agreed with his son's point of view. There is no harm in being cautious when sailing a ship of ten thousand years.
The father and son continued their discussion until the evening and missed the meal. Mrs. Cui came over to drag them out, "I will go to your father's study as soon as I come back. This big thing is not as important as eating. And you, the child has just come back." Can’t you let him rest?”
"Yes, yes, the lady taught you the lesson."
Academician Cui couldn't help nodding, and while coaxing others, he took his wife's hand and went to the front hall to eat.
999's teeth were sore from looking at it, "The relationship is so good, the old couple are already married, and they still show their affection!"
Ling Liang glanced at the two people holding hands and told the truth in a blunt voice, "I think you are jealous of me, you have been single for ten thousand years."
999 replied: "We are each other, aren't you the same?"
Ling Liang didn't care, "That's right, I have a psychological balance and I'm not jealous of others."
999: "..."
Host, if you do this again, you will lose this system, do you understand?
