Chapter 184 Disciplining the Son

Yinzhen was certain that Tong Guowei was not the mastermind behind the impeachment of the former Minister of War. Tong Guowei only began his actions after Ma Qi became the Minister of War, so the matter still needed further investigation.

However, Yinzhen felt that Tong Guowei was a more honest person. Originally, out of respect for Empress Xiaoyiren, he could still guarantee the Tong family's lifelong wealth and honor, but the human heart is always unpredictable!

Tong Guowei was suddenly summoned to the Qianqing Palace. He thought to himself, "The position of Minister of War is still vacant! Could it be…?"

Tong Guowei was happy inside, and he showed it on his face.

Looking at Tong Guowei, whose face still held a hint of joy, Yinzhen asked, "Uncle, do you know why I summoned you here?"

"This servant does not know, but this servant will obey Your Majesty's orders and share Your Majesty's burdens."

When Yinzhen heard him say that, he didn't hold back anymore.

"Since you are so righteous, Uncle, I will not treat you unfairly. I have heard that Longkodo has been somewhat unruly in recent years. Why don't you teach him properly at home, Uncle? It would be better to prevent the Tong family from producing a spoiled brat in the future. What do you think, Uncle?"

Tong Guowei was surprised.

"What does Your Majesty mean? This servant does not understand, and hopes Your Majesty will explain."

Yinzhen glanced at him and said, "I've heard that you're devoted to educating your children, especially your daughters. I just want to tell you that while it's good to raise your daughters well, the sons in the family are the most important. Don't raise your daughters well only to ruin your sons."

Having said all that, Tong Guowei wasn't truly stupid and naturally understood what Yinzhen meant.

He didn't know anything about Longkodo, but the emperor mentioned his daughter, who was his secret weapon for revitalizing his family. Considering what he had been doing recently, there was nothing he couldn't understand.

The Emperor probably knows everything, and this is just a warning to make him behave!

Tong Guowei broke out in a cold sweat, then stammered, "Your Majesty is right. This servant has indeed neglected to discipline my son. This servant will go back and discipline him properly. Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will not bother with it anymore."

Yinzhen glanced at Tong Guowei: "Well, then you should discipline your son properly. When he is well disciplined, I will certainly give Longkodo a good job. I know that my late mother cared about the Tong family the most. I hope that you will also care about my late mother and not let her feel disheartened towards her family."
