Zhao Yan lay on the document and looked at Jiang Lingyue with burning eyes:
"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me?"
Zhao Yan is not a fool.
Although Suzaku was stopped by Qinglong, he also guessed it.
He must have brought himself into the palace, which caused dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials of the court.
It's normal to think about it. He was the son of a traitor in his previous life. Not only was he not captured and beheaded, he was also taken into the harem and became the empress's only man.
It's strange that I haven't been targeted.
"What's the use of telling you?"
Jiang Lingyue shook her head, "The Zhao family was caught for rebelling. Now I don't know how many people are waiting to add insult to injury. Many of them are your former subordinates and friends of the Zhao family!"
Zhao Yan nodded, he naturally understood this.
Some of these people who are adding insult to injury are former political opponents.
But there are still many who are former subordinates and friends. The reason is also very simple. As long as the Zhao family is raided and killed, the evidence of their collusion with the Zhao family will also disappear with the Zhao family.
At least, it’s a witness!
"Your Majesty doesn't seem to hate the Zhao family very much?" Zhao Yan asked.
Jiang Lingyue smiled slightly and said: "For your sake, I don't want to make you sad."
Zhao Yan said: "Secondly, the whole dynasty is like this. They are all the same. Compared to the Zhao family that has been dealt with, you should hate the others more."
Jiang Lingyue nodded slightly.
This is the principle. The Zhao family is already in ruins and there is no chance of turning around.
But the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were different, and there were many factions among them.
"I do have a way, but I may need your husband's help."
Thinking that Zhao Yan already knew about it, Jiang Lingyue didn't hide it.
"No!"
Unexpectedly, before she spoke, Zhao Yan said, "If you want to pardon the Zhao family, forget it. It is certainly feasible to let the Zhao family contain the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."
"But rebellion is a serious crime. If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid it will make these ministers even more scrupulous. When the time comes, you will jump over the wall, and that will not be good."
Jiang Lingyue was stunned, why hadn't he thought of this?
I thought that Zhao Yan would be very happy when he proposed this method.
But she didn't expect that in the face of the life and death of her family, Zhao Yan would still stand by her.
As everyone knows, Zhao Yan has no feelings for the Zhao family at all.
He was not from this world in the first place, not to mention that the memory of the original owner was not left at all, so where did the emotion come from?
"What should we do?"
Jiang Lingyue felt extremely frustrated.
She would feel this way in the past, but she would never tell others or show it in front of others.
In the eyes of others, she is a superior empress and the controller of the empire.
But only she knew how many days and nights she spent without anyone, she would feel extremely lonely and frustrated.
But things are different now. Facing Zhao Yan, she chooses to believe unconditionally.
"Actually, there is a way!"
Zhao Yan said in a deep voice, "But are you willing to believe me?"
Jiang Lingyue said calmly: "Of course, you are my husband, so of course I trust you unconditionally!"
Zhao Yan also followed calmly: "I will replace the Zhao family and gather the original Zhao family's forces to assist you and defeat all enemies together!"
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
But to be honest, Zhao Yan was not confident in what he said.
After all, if Jiang Lingyue is a woman who can sit on the throne, she cannot be a love brain.
How can it be possible to reuse the son of a villain, even if the harem is involved in politics?
But who knows, Jiang Lingyue didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, I agree!"
"Yes?"
Zhao Yan was stunned and looked at Jiang Lingyue in confusion.
Jiang Lingyue nodded: "If I don't trust the person next to me, then why should I be an emperor?"
Zhao Yan looked bitter.
To be honest, he actually has no love for Jiang Lingyue.
Love at first sight is always about lust.
However, facing an empress who worked hard to protect herself, even because she was willing to re-employ a traitor, Zhao Yan was secretly tempted.
At this moment, he regarded Jiang Lingyue as his woman!
"Husband, go to Tianlao to see your father. You will definitely get some of the power he has from him."
Faced with Jiang Lingyue's idea, Zhao Yan nodded.
He doesn't have any memory of his previous life, and that's all he wants to gain the power of the Zhao family.
After receiving Jiang Lingyue's permission, Zhao Yan was not idle and directly pulled the four dragon guardians out of the palace and headed directly towards Tianlao.
Along the way, although Suzaku was restrained by Qinglong, his murderous eyes did not dissipate, but became more intense:
"Hmph, I know this bastard, and with His Majesty's favor, I will rescue those rebels!"
Zhao Yan did not refute these words.
After entering the prison, Zhao Yan quickly met the original owner's father, Zhao Tianming, following the lead of the cell leader.
"My son, you have finally come to save my father!"
In the cell, Zhao Tianming's face was filled with joy.
It is no secret that the empress accepted Zhao Yan as her concubine.
He had been devastated since he was thrown into the sky prison, but since he learned the news, he was very happy.
Zhao Yan was extremely filial to him and would definitely rescue him if given the chance.
"Humph, it's true that good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years!" Suzaku snorted coldly.
Zhao Tianming immediately became angry: "You bastard, you dare to speak like this to the current king. Are you afraid that my son will punish you?"
When Zhuque heard this, his eyes widened, with the intention of killing someone.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan said: "I think she is right."
Zhao Tianming immediately said proudly: "Did you hear that? My son said I was right!"
"I say Suzaku is right."
Zhao Yan said coldly, "It's not easy for a rebel thief to survive by chance, yet he dares to speak nonsense here."
"Yan...Yan'er, I am your father!"
Zhao Tianming looked unbelievable, "You...how could you say such a thing?"
"If it weren't for this relationship, you would have been cut into pieces by five horses."
Zhao Yan glanced at him with disdain, "I will help all the Zhao family survive. You don't have to worry about this, but you can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living penalty."
Zhao Tianming's face turned pale.
Originally... I thought I could take this opportunity to return to the dynasty stage, but unexpectedly, this was the result.
"That's all, thanks to my son!"
Zhao Tianming suddenly softened and leaned against the cell wall, "Is this what you came here to tell me today?"
Zhao Yan did not hide anything: "I want all the secrets about the court in your hands, as well as the power of the Zhao family that has not been dealt with and can still be used by me."
Hearing this, a strange look flashed across Zhao Tianming's eyes.
After a long while, he nodded repeatedly, took out a small notebook from his body, and handed it to Zhao Yan: "My father has written this a few days ago. Take it. There are some people's handles on it. I believe you hold the handle. Those
People will definitely be of use to you."
Zhao Yan nodded, took it casually, and left with Qinglong and the other four.
"Brother, this traitor has the ability but doesn't save us. Why are you helping him?"
On the side, Zhao Tianming's younger brother asked unhappily.
I originally thought that when Zhao Yan came, he would be rescued, but who knew...
