The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Zhang Zisheng blushed slightly, "But the clothes still don't fit me well in the end."

Lin Wan shook her head: "It's okay, it's a nice thought."

At this moment, she suddenly reached out and touched Zhang Zisheng's face.

Zhang Zisheng was surprised by her sudden move, but still did not dodge. He just asked in confusion: "Empress Dowager?"

Lin Wan smiled and took back her hand: "I see that your face is a little red and a little hot."

"Is... is that so?" Zhang Zisheng reached out and touched his face. Lin Wan restrained her smile and suddenly said:

"I've always heard about the assassination in Nangang. It's said that the daughter of the Jin family assassinated many politicians from various countries and even killed her own brother with a sword. Is this true?"

Zhang Zisheng replied, "It is true." Then he asked, "Why did the Queen Mother mention this?"

"I kept hearing people talking about it during that period, so I couldn't help but listen to it. After all, the assassin has a special identity, she is Princess Yongning. What do you think about this matter?" Lin Wan asked calmly.

Zhang Zisheng immediately replied:

"The princess had a sense of justice. In order to assassinate the bandits who were trying to seize our Yan country's territory, she did not hesitate to use herself as bait. Before the assassination, she must have been ready to die. It was precisely because of her determination to sacrifice her life for justice that she was saved by the emperor at the execution ground."

At this point, Zhang Zisheng sighed and continued:

"If it were anyone else, calling him a 'righteous man' would be enough, but the princess thinks differently."

"What's the difference?" Lin Wan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That has to be said about the previous dynasty. The Jin family has been in charge of the previous dynasty for a hundred years. Back then, there were many talented people. There were many heroes and righteous men in the family who fought for the country and died for the people. However, time flies, and each generation is inferior to the previous one."

"At the end, they even pushed Jin Fengluan, a useless person who was jealous of others' talents, to the throne. This caused the prosperous scene that should have appeared to become rotten on the outside and decayed on the inside, with everything in ruins. It can be seen how rotten the Jin family was at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a stinking quagmire."

Lin Wan nodded and listened quietly.

Zhang Zisheng continued:

"Can you say that it's good for the princess to be in such a situation since she was born? On the surface, it's good, after all, the princess's status is so noble, but this is just an appearance. When this castle in the air collapses, the identity of 'princess' will become a burden and a shackle. At this point, no matter whether she is a good person or a bad person, she will eventually die early."

"But today the princess did not suffer this fate. It was indeed His Majesty's generosity and kindness that saved her, but it was also the princess's character that saved her."

"The princess was polished but not stained, and dyed but not blackened. She was trapped in the mire, but she was not stained by dust. I think in her eyes, there was no difference between the bandits and her own brother that she killed. The princess regarded them as 'evil', so she wanted to get rid of them."

"In our eyes, the Nangang incident was an assassination attempt to protect the country, but in the princess's heart, perhaps it was her life in exchange for her own, a sacrifice to repay her."

After finishing his words, Zhang Zisheng realized that Lin Wan had not said a word from beginning to end, and then smiled apologetically:

"I'm sorry to make the Queen Mother laugh at my humble opinion."

Lin Wan then smiled and said, "Every word is precious, it is indeed true."

"Girl, are you two very familiar with each other in private? That's why you know each other so well?"

Zhang Zisheng shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not the case."

"I learned about the princess' daily behavior from a trustworthy person, so I made a guess."

"The princess was brought back to Jinling from Nangang by His Majesty this time. She is now in the city. When we meet her in the future, we will know whether this is the case."

After saying this, Lin Wan pinched Zhang Zisheng's palm and said, "Then tell me, what is the purpose of this princess being brought back by my son?"

When this question was asked, Zhang Zisheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty should have made up his mind long ago."

Lin Wan followed up by saying, "I think this guy wants to take her in as his wife."

Zhang Zisheng showed a slightly surprised expression when he heard this:

"Why did the Queen Mother say that?"

Seeing that she was puzzled, Lin Wan shook her head and sighed, "How could I not know my son?"

"He is different from his father. His father can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, but he has liked pretty girls since he was a child. He always picks good-looking servants who follow him."

"I don't think he has thought of what you just said. Maybe he just saw that the princess is so beautiful that she is so stunning that he let bygones be bygones. Not only did he save her, he also said in front of the people that he would protect her in the future."

"They are just excuses. I just want to find a beautiful wife." As she said this, Lin Wan looked at Zhang Zisheng's face.

After listening to Lin Wan's words, Zhang Zisheng smiled and said:

"Your Majesty is also an ordinary person, and it is not surprising that he likes beauty, but the princess is not a sinner who brings disaster to the country and the people. She is outstanding not only in appearance, but also in character. Therefore, even if Your Majesty wants to take her into the palace, I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

"And bringing the princess into the palace can also show that the emperor is clear about rewards and punishments, and is generous and kind. The people will see this and love her even more."

“It should be a win-win situation.”

"Of course this is just my opinion. I don't know whether Your Majesty has this intention or not."

Lin Wan said, "Then wait until he gets home and ask him, but I think this is nine out of ten."

Zhang Zisheng nodded.

"But tell me, if he really wants to take this woman into the harem, can she become the queen?" Lin Wan suddenly asked.

Zhang Zisheng blurted out:

"Your Majesty is a fish that swallows the boat, and does not swim in the branches and streams. The princess is a swan that flies high, and does not gather in the dirty pond."

"If the Queen Mother agrees, then of course it is possible."

"Me? I won't interfere in this matter. He won the war, he overthrew the Jin family, and he was elected emperor because of the trust of the people. So he has the right to decide the major events in his future life." Lin Wan said.

"The Empress Dowager is open-minded. His Majesty will definitely be happy to hear what you said." Zhang Zisheng said with a smile.

Lin Wan nodded at her, her eyes became softer and softer, and she became happier and happier as she said, "Good girl."

Then she took a plum from the fruit plate and put it in Zhang Zisheng's hand, saying:

"Come, have a piece of the fruit too. It is really sweet."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhang Zisheng expressed his gratitude.

"There's no need to do that. This fruit is yours." Lin Wan looked at her with a smile.

Zhang Zisheng did not refuse. He picked up the rosy and shiny fruit, opened his lips slightly, and took a bite. The sweet juice gradually spread in his mouth.

At this moment, a joyful voice came from outside the hall:

"Queen Mother, His Majesty is back."

Hearing this, Lin Wan was delighted, grabbed Zhang Zisheng's other hand, and said with a smile:

"Let's go, girl."
