And in the core area of this complex family power, there is a tiger lying, which is the Prime Minister's Mansion in the South.
However, although Lan Xu's father was not a good-looking man, at least the one who actually made the decision in the Prime Minister's Mansion was the former Prime Minister Lan Jie who seemed to have resigned from his post. In fact, just by moving his fingers, he could cause earthquakes in the capital, which is Lan Xu's grandfather.
If the powerful old Dingnan King was still alive, he might be able to yell at Lan Jie, "How many soldiers do you have?", but the current Dingnan King is relatively weak and there has never been any direct conflict.
If we say that the Lan family and the Pu family have a deep connection, Lan Jie was a young talent praised by everyone in the capital when she was young. Princess Mingzhu, the daughter of the famous Dingnan King, was also the only noble girl in the capital. She was even praised for being a prince, but she might not be worthy of it.
Of course, even though that is the case, everyone knows that she is unlikely to marry the prince, after all, the Dingnan Prince's Mansion has never been involved in the battle for the throne.
However, it was just so coincidental that the Southern Kingdom was fighting against the Western Kingdom at that time, and the King of Dingnan was not in the capital. Princess Mingzhu did not expect that there were spies from the Western Kingdom at the foot of the emperor, and they could also secretly organize a riot army to attempt to kidnap her and affect the situation of the war.
As a scholar, Lan Jie did not even have the ability to protect herself in chaos. She was seriously injured and unconscious. When he recovered his consciousness, he realized that Princess Mingzhu was rescued by a prince and the emperor had issued a marriage imperial edict.
This incident had a profound impact. First of all, it made everyone see clearly that the military forces of the southern country were all made of paper except for the Dingnan Prince's Mansion, and the nobles who led the troops could not even hold the weapons. Therefore, the southern country's army was reorganized and a large number of civilian officers were promoted, which led to the current situation where the Dingnan Prince's Mansion was dominant.
On the other hand, the late emperor, the prince who was not outstanding in all aspects, married Princess Mingzhu, which also means that his bargaining chips for the throne suddenly exceeded many princes. Those brothers who had never seen him developed a strong sense of crisis, and reached its peak after the unexpected death of the prince, who was extremely stable, eventually developed into a bloody battle for the throne.
As for whether Lan Jie has any thoughts about the Empress Dowager, it is impossible to tell from his smiling face, but after he became the head of the family, the Lan family rules have one more male family that must practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, which can be seen that he is somewhat unwilling to be inside.
Of course, the above part was not summarized by Yousheng himself, but was revealed from Pu Taozhi's memory. King Dingnan had high expectations for his daughter and had educated her a lot in person.
"Ah, so we won't have to play any more power, right?" Yi Liuling lamented after hearing this, "This is beyond the business scope of the brave man, right? I don't want to enter the history category."
"No, even if it's a fight." Ji Shuzhai subconsciously touched the door panel beside him.
"Relax," Yousheng patted Yi Liuling's arm and sat down beside his bed. "This is just the background of the story. The main problem now is how to safely transport the emperor back to the capital. On the other hand, I need to avoid the engagement."
"Entertainment? What kind of engagement?" Yi Liuling became alert, "Just forget it if you get married, don't marry her in the face."
"Listen to me, don't worry," said Yousheng. "If you can't marry, no one hopes that the marriage will come true."
