The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Seeing his grim expression, Zhang Tian quickly asked him a question.

"Haoxuan is incredibly audacious! He actually dared to assassinate a prince!"

Qin Tian said nervously, after all, he didn't want to bury the entire Bingzhou.

In such a chaotic world, if he dared to attack a prince, he would have no place to hide even in the imperial court.

"Don't worry, sir, there's still room for maneuver in this matter."

A slight smile appeared on Zhang Tian's lips as he spoke calmly.

Upon hearing Zhang Tian's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Qin Tian's eyes, and he quickly asked, "Tell me quickly, is there any other way?"

"Since Your Highness already knows, why don't you take the young master to apologize with a bundle of thorns on your back? In that case, Your Highness should not make things difficult for the young master."

Zhang Tian said with a smile that if this matter is handled properly, there is still room for maneuver.

"It can only be the."

Qin Tian nodded; this was the only thing they could do now.

Once everything was ready, Qin Tian didn't hesitate at all and took his son to Yang Ling's place.

……

When Yang Ling learned that Qin Tian and his son had arrived, she was sitting there with a cold expression, looking at the people Li Qing had brought.

"Your Highness, Qin Haoxuan has been brought here."

Qin Haoxuan looked extremely disheveled at this moment. After all, he had been escorted here by his father, and his hands were still in chains, making him look quite unsightly.

"Your Highness, I've brought this rebellious son with me. How should we deal with him today? I'll leave everything to you."

Qin Tian appeared extremely respectful and spoke to Yang Ling with utmost courtesy.

"Lord Qin, what are you doing now?"

At this moment, Yang Ling had already stood up, looking at the two people in front of her with a smile on her face.

“My unfilial son has committed such a grave offense, and as his father, I must give His Highness an explanation.”

Qin Tian said with a nervous expression.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I don't care how you deal with me today, I only beg Your Highness to spare my father."

Seeing Qin Tian's appearance, Qin Haoxuan felt helpless and could only step forward to beg Yang Ling.

However, all of this was just an act; Qin Tian had specifically instructed him to do so before coming.

"I would like to ask you why you had someone assassinate me?"

Yang Ling looked at him and asked in a calm tone. Qin Haoxuan swallowed hard when he heard this.

"It's all my fault for being blinded by greed and making such a grave mistake. No matter how Your Highness punishes me, I will have no complaints."

Yang Ling looked at Qin Haoxuan in front of her, feeling quite helpless.

He originally thought Qin Haoxuan would be able to spout some profound truths, but it turns out the other party is so shameless?

"Since you have no objections, then die here."

Yang Ling said calmly. Qin Tian was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect Yang Ling to act so quickly!

"Your Highness, I hope you can spare my son's life."

Qin Tian quickly stepped forward to plead for his son's life, as saving his son's life was the only thing he could do at the moment.

"Although my son made a mistake, he did not really do anything heinous."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ling had already drawn his pistol.

After all, a pistol is more useful in his hands than any sword or knife.

"However, I heard that your son is causing all sorts of trouble in Bingzhou, bullying men and women, and committing all kinds of evil deeds."

Yang Ling uttered a single, casual remark, and Qin Tian's entire expression changed.

He never expected things to develop to this point. He absolutely did not want Yang Ling to kill his son.

"These are all my faults. I beg Your Highness to be merciful and spare my son. I am willing to pay with my life."

Qin Tian spoke with an air of fearlessness, so Yang Ling naturally didn't intend to actually kill him.

He just wanted to gain enough leverage for himself.

"No matter what, you are the Prefect of Bingzhou. I don't have the right to execute you. However, you may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment. You know what I need!"

As soon as Yang Ling said these words, Qin Tian's eyes immediately lit up.

He would agree to any request as long as his son's life could be saved.

"Your Highness, please feel free to ask if you need anything. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best without hesitation."

Qin Tian said with a serious expression, after all, at this moment he was already extremely grateful to have saved his son's life.

"In that case, I will not stand on ceremony."

Yang Ling asked calmly, not because she was making things difficult for him, but because everything was said by the other party himself.

"I have heard that there is a place in your Bingzhou that is rich in coal mines. I wonder if Lord Qin could give this place to me directly?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian's expression changed completely.

After all, this coal mine is the lifeblood of Bingzhou. If we really hand it over, the entire Bingzhou will be half dead.

"Your Highness is unaware that this coal mine is the lifeblood of Bingzhou. If we simply hand it over to Your Highness, the imperial court may object."

Qin Tian said nervously, but when he saw the pistol in Yang Ling's hand, he felt helpless.

At this moment, he finally understood that there was absolutely no way to turn things around.

After all, his son's life was in Yang Ling's hands. Could he really risk his son's life to save a coal mine?

"I did not consult you. Whether it succeeds or not is up to you to decide!"

Yang Ling didn't care at all. It would be best if he could just give it to him directly. If not, he could send a large army to rob it.

Who doesn't have an army at their disposal?

"Your Highness, please forgive me, this matter..."

Before Qin Tian could speak, Yang Ling had already stood up.

Looking at his appearance, Qin Tian realized that he had no choice at all.

"Your Highness, this old minister understands the matter. The coal mine is yours."

When Yang Ling heard his words, a faint smile appeared on her face.

After all, this is a good start.

Once we can acquire the coal mines of Bingzhou, Liangzhou will soon be an industrialized society thanks to its abundant resources.

After all, coal and oil are essential for industrial society.

"If that's the case, then everything is easy to discuss."

Yang Ling looked at the person in front of her with a faint smile, feeling very happy inside.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this old minister will go and prepare now."

Seeing Qin Tian's attitude, Yang Ling waved his hand at him and said, "Take him away first. Remember what you promised. I hope to get the coal mine in half a month. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
