I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

When Minister Han heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

He himself hasn't even seen his grown-up grandson yet, but old man Yan got there first. He's really angry!

Moreover, this old man Yan was not kind at all. After he discovered his daughter and grandson, he ran away without even saying hello to him!

snort!

Wait till this matter is over!

I have to ask Old Man Yan for an explanation!

Qin Yue: [Sister, could it be that Mr. Yan has brought some kind of turnaround for the Crown Princess?!]

Emperor Jin Yuan and the Crown Prince: The Crown Princess is actually safe now. Xue Zhirou and Yan Bitong have no chance to get close to the Crown Princess at all!

As long as there is no contact, then no matter how powerful the abortion pill is, it will be useless!!

Once again, I’m glad that I can eat this melon today!

This must be due to the blessing of the little lucky official, otherwise the situation may be irreversible! !

System: [Yes, host, let me explain slowly. ]

[Old Hanlin Yan arrived at the Han family's land half a month ago. Seeing that the child looked exactly like Yan Shouren when he was a child, he burst into tears and then cried and asked Han Qingyan for an answer...]

[Han Qingyan looked at the silver-haired Yan Lao Hanlin, who was crying while holding his child, and her heart was deeply moved.]

[The moment she was found by the old Hanlin Yan, she knew that she could no longer hide the truth. The thing that she and Yan Shouren least wanted to see had finally happened.]

【Old Hanlin Yan was finally involved in this dangerous incident.】

【Then Han Qingyan told Master Yan everything that had happened over the years.】

[At the same time, Han Qingyan also explained to him that the reason why she didn't tell her family about these things was because she and Yan Shouren were extremely afraid of Taiyang's mysterious methods. ]

[They were worried that if they rashly involved their family members before they were sure of dealing with Zhao Taiyang, it would harm them instead.]

[At the same time, Han Qingyan also mentioned that since Xue Zhirou now has a relationship with the Crown Prince's Mansion, she needs to be more cautious when dealing with Xue Zhirou.]

[Because she didn't know whether the prince would handle the matter impartially. If he didn't, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.]

When the prince heard this, his face darkened even more.

He thought to himself: It seems that he will have to show up in front of the people more often in the future, to let them know that he is just like his father, a fair and strict person who will never bend the law for personal gain!

The system's voice continued.

[Perhaps Han Qingyan does not understand the character of the prince, but Yan Lao Hanlin, as an old minister, knows and recognizes the prince very well.]

[He did not think that the Crown Prince would cover up Xue Zhirou's crimes or give her a lighter punishment just because she was the Crown Princess's mother.]

【Old Hanlin Yan believes that the prince will uphold his love for the people and give a fair and selfless explanation of this matter. 】

After hearing what Old Hanlin Yan said, the prince's gloomy expression eased a little.

It’s still true that Mr. Yan has good vision!

System: [So, Yan Lao Hanlin took the initiative to propose that he would take copies of all the evidence and return to the capital to find the crown prince and report the matter.]

[If he leaves without any news, it would prove that the prince is also unreliable.]

[If he really can't come back, Old Hanlin Yan suggested that Han Qingyan go to the capital to file a complaint! ]

[He believed that the current emperor was a wise ruler and would definitely give the Yan family an explanation! ]

[After all, His Majesty has never been soft-hearted towards his own sons. If you count the number of beatings the Second Prince has received over the years, you can’t even count them with your hands and feet! ]

At this moment, the second prince, who was listening to the gossip attentively, was suddenly mentioned by his elder sister and felt confused.

Just let Old Hanlin Yan say what he wants to say, why do we have to use him as an example?

Well, when it comes down to it, he has really been worried about his father all these years!

However, his father did not understand his feelings at all and always beat him up!

It’s such a waste of his filial piety!

The system continued: [What’s more, the current emperor is a monarch who truly cares about the people and will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Yan family suffer.]

【In addition, Mr. Yan thought more deeply. 】

[This matter originally involved two countries, and at that time they did not know whether the Nanzhao royal family was behind Zhao Taiyang.]

【As an old minister, the old Hanlin naturally knows the secret technique of the Southern Dynasty. It is undeniable that the Southern Dynasty now knows very little about it. 】

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: No, no, no, Old Hanlin Yan, we now understand their secret techniques better than the Nanzhao royal family!

For example, the thousand-year validity period of this secret technique was unknown to the Nanzhao royal family.

And they can fully utilize this to plan against the Nanzhao royal family!

The system continued: [But if there is a deeper and bigger conspiracy behind this matter, or even worse, it is likely to endanger the Southern Dynasty, then they can no longer keep it to themselves.]

[Especially in the past two years, Xue Zhirou's sudden change in attitude towards the Crown Princess made Old Hanlin Yan smell something unusual, combined with Han Qingyan's intelligence.]

【Old Hanlin Yan is almost certain that there must be a conspiracy behind this that they are not aware of! 】

Qin Yue: [As expected, the older you are, the wiser you are! Old Hanlin Yan is more decisive in his actions! He also considers things more comprehensively! ]

[It's a pity for Yan Shouren and Han Qingyan. If they had told this to the old Hanlin Yan, perhaps the tragedy that followed wouldn't have happened! ]

[However, this is also due to information asymmetry. ]

[If the two had known earlier that the method used by Zhao Taiyang was Nanzhao's witchcraft, they might not have been so terrified of it, and might have taken the initiative to seek help from Old Hanlin Yan or Shangshu Han.]

【The direction of things may be different. 】

Qin Yue's words made everyone in the hall fall into deep thought.

Concerning the secret techniques of the five surrounding countries, it was indeed only the rulers of the Southern Dynasty and other high-ranking officials in the court who knew about them.

The reason why the news was not made public to all the people in the Southern Dynasty was mainly due to two reasons.

One reason is that they are worried that people will be too afraid of this and it will cause unnecessary panic among the people.

After all, people are naturally afraid of the unknown.

This may be the reason why Yan Shouren and Han Qingyan were so fearful when they encountered witchcraft.

If you don’t know anything, you will be fearless.

The second is absolute confidence in the country's strength.

The top leaders believed that no matter what kind of conspiracy the Southern Dynasty faced, it would be able to crush the other side with its absolute strength.

But now it seems that what they thought was different from reality.

Because the common people did not know about the secret arts of other countries such as disguise and witchcraft, they ended up lacking knowledge.

Once they suddenly encounter such a mysterious secret technique, it is easy for them to develop a self-destructive fear mentality of "they have no chance of defeating it at all".

If the Southern Dynasty had revealed the information about the secret technique bit by bit in advance, the people would have slowly accepted it, gradually eliminated their sense of unfamiliarity, and even become accustomed to it, and in the end they would no longer have any fear of it.

Perhaps, there would not be examples like Yan Shouren and Han Qingyan.

In addition, the conspiracy of Nanjiang and Nanzhao has been gradually exposed in recent times, which has also given a great wake-up call to the top leaders of the Southern Dynasty!

Even though they are undoubtedly strong, if their opponents use some invisible tricks, they will be unable to defend themselves!

Maybe it's time for a change.
