"Yes! Your Majesty, King Anle is doing it out of good intentions. He cannot bear the uncles and nephews of the Ling family to kill each other. This is really a good intention!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, please spare King Anle this time!"
"..."
As soon as Pei Hong gave the order to punish Pei Luo, the courtiers stood up one by one to intercede for him.
"You...you bunch of bastards who don't know the difference between right and wrong, where do you put my brother Shisheng? Have you considered his feelings? He is the current master of Dongling Mansion, your colleague! What you are doing, It’s so chilling!”
"Your Majesty, since you want to punish King Anle, then let's beat him together!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the punishment together!"
"I am willing to accept the punishment together with Prince Anle, please agree to it!"
"Father, Uncle Luo Wang also has good intentions, and he also asked father and Uncle Ling to consider Uncle Luo's proposal.
"You need to know that Uncle Ling Clan and Qian Yao Clan Brother are related by blood. Just like the relationship between Er Chen and Uncle Luo Wang. I want to ask, where in the world can an uncle and nephew have conflicts and turn against each other? Especially the reason? They are all descendants of our Mo family."
Prince Pei Yu also stood up at this time.
Ling Shisheng couldn't control himself when he saw the situation, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He is not a talented person in governing the country. He has always only known about romantic affairs. Otherwise, he would not have given the good Ling Kingdom to Pei Hong.
The current situation was something he had not expected.
Speaking of which, the grievances between the Ling family and the Jiang family were actually due to the Jiang family supporting the Ling family. Afterwards, the Ling family killed the donkey and almost wiped out the Jiang family, leaving only Jiang Yun, who was pregnant at the time.
Jiang Yun's husband is Ling Shizong, Ling Shisheng's biological brother.
The child she later gave birth to was today's Jiang Qianyao.
When Jiang Qianyao was born, he was rejected by the Ling family. His father, Ling Shizong, didn't like him either and treated him coldly like a stranger. The Ling family also did not allow him to use the surname "Ling", so he always used the surname Jiang.
The Jiang family, mother and son, were living a hard life in a cold palace in King Ling's palace.
Until one day when Jiang Qianyao was six years old, Jiang Yun found an excuse to call Ling Shizong to the cold palace, saying that she had something to tell him about the Jiang family.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yun had already prepared and poisoned Ling Shizong.
Even the people who secretly protected Ling Shizong were all poisoned to death.
Afterwards, Jiang Yun set a fire, setting the entire Leng Palace on fire, and died together with Ling Shizong.
When Ling Shizong died, Ling Shisheng was forced to take the throne.
Their brother's name, Sejong Shisheng, means "the clan has been strong for generations."
But in fact, the elder of the two brothers is a political genius. His younger brother, Ling Shisheng, is an idiot who knows nothing about political affairs.
As soon as Ling Shizong died, it didn't take long for the Ling State to be in a situation of internal and external troubles.
Some small neighboring countries would disturb Ling's borders from time to time. Ling Shisheng had no choice but to send Jiang Qianyao as a hostage to the powerful neighboring country Wei, hoping to get Wei's protection.
Jiang Qianyao, who was not allowed to use the surname Ling, changed his name to Ling Qianyao and began his proton career.
But Ling Shisheng had no intention of going to court. If Ling Shizong hadn't died, he would never have succeeded. Therefore, after he became the king of Ling Kingdom, he still did not change his old ways and was greedy for pleasure.
The entire Ling Kingdom was in a state of chaos due to his torture.
It was not until earlier this year that Ling Shisheng finally realized that he could not save the Ling State, which was riddled with holes and people revolted everywhere, and surrendered to the Wei State.
At the same time, Ling Shisheng asked Pei Hong about solving Jiang Qianyao.
Because of this, Jiang Qianyao changed from a down-and-out hostage of the Ling Kingdom to a prisoner of the Wei Kingdom.
After he was rescued by Meng Jiu.
After a period of time.
The news that the former Ling State hostage had been rescued quickly spread throughout the Wei State under the deliberate publicity of the Yan State. Ling Shisheng, who was in Dongling Mansion at that time, naturally received the news.
Therefore, during this New Year celebration, Ling Shisheng actually wanted to hold the Pei family accountable.
But when he actually came to Luodu and saw the prosperity of the city, he suddenly became intimidated again and had already lost the courage to hold the Pei family accountable.
It was not until the day of the celebration that he came to the palace of the King of Wei in a daze.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the celebration started, Pei Luo gave him a big surprise (shock).
For him to personally agree to reveal Jiang Qianyao's surname to the public, wouldn't this act be tantamount to... a blatant slap in the face of the Ling family?
But looking at the large group of colleagues pleading for Pei Luo in front of him.
Even the prince, who was bound to inherit the throne in the future, stood on the other side, and Ling Shizong was cowed again.
Once a person chooses to compromise with another person for the first time, he no longer thinks about resisting.
So, what's so difficult about the first compromise of sacrificing one's country and the second compromise of sparing an enemy's son?
Then, with his heartbeat mixed with the melody of compromise, Ling Shisheng stood up, straightened his clothes, walked to the center of the hall, and saluted Pei Hong.
"Your Majesty! Prince Anle, the Crown Prince, and all of your colleagues are right. Thank you for your Majesty's consideration and speaking for me. I feel ashamed for it.
"Your Majesty, Ling Shisheng, hereby swears that Ling Qianyao's real name is Jiang Qianyao. From now on, he will have nothing to do with my Ling family.
"Regarding the past events of Ling and Jiang families, I, the Ling family, will put past the past. I also hope that Jiang Qianyao will take care of himself, recognize his own abilities, and not try to seek revenge on my Ling family with his own efforts.
"Of course, if one day he has that ability and the people we sent out to arrest the Jiang family are still alive, he is welcome to come and seek revenge at any time.
"Of course, as far as Wei Chen himself is concerned, I am very willing to turn hostility into friendship with him."
After Ling Shisheng's words, the Wei courtiers were shocked.
People who didn't know much about the feud between the two families would naturally think that Ling Shisheng was magnanimous.
But people like Pei Luo and Pei Yu who knew the inside story would only think that Ling Shisheng was cowardly and had no bottom line.
After all, the Ling family killed the entire Jiang family, no matter men, women, old or young, except for Jiang Yun, who was pregnant at the time, no one was spared.
Ling Shisheng only lost a brother, and he also took Jiang Yun's life.
How could he, the Ling family, have the dignity to turn a fight into friendship and offset the lives of hundreds of members of the Jiang family in just a few words?
Of course, "when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs will be cooked; when the flying birds are gone, the good bow will be hidden; when the enemy's country is destroyed, the adviser will perish." This truth has existed since ancient times.
To those in power, the death of a member of the Jiang family is nothing more than a common occurrence.
If Meng Jiu had not appeared this time, Pei Luo would not have helped Jiang Qianyao at all, not to mention that he also roped in the king of Wei and the prince and his son to cooperate with him.
To put it bluntly, why didn't he take on this matter because he wanted to have a good relationship with Meng Jiu?
Of course, no matter what the original intention was, the result was good for Jiang Qianyao. From then on, he was an upright descendant of the Jiang family.
Something happened here.
Above the beams of the main hall.
After hearing the result, Jiang Qianyao looked at Meng Jiu and said, "Mother-in-law, let's go. Pei Luo helped us solve the matter, and we can all be considered as friends."
"Why don't you go down and take a look at your uncle from the Ling family?"
Jiang Qianyao smiled bitterly, "We're just enemies, what's there to see? If I talk and laugh with his Ling family, how can my mother's spirit in heaven be at ease?"
"Yeah, that's right. You kid is quite loyal. Remember your mother's kindness, and I won't let my mother-in-law save you in vain."
After saying that, there was no trace of the two of them on the rafters.
