Yue Haoyun smiled and said, "That's right."
"Back then, when Han Lie first entered the officialdom, he started as a small editor in the Hanlin Academy. If he wanted to get promoted, he had to rely on his wife's family. Therefore, he didn't dare to disobey his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"After marriage, Han Lie really did not take a concubine. A few years after marriage, Wang gave birth to a son and a daughter for him."
"Later, for unknown reasons, Wang Shi stopped giving birth."
"If it were someone else, if the wife didn't give birth again, they would definitely take a concubine to continue giving birth. But Han Lie didn't do that."
“Therefore, he has only one son.”
The Second Prince seemed to be thinking: "So, this Wang family must have given Han Lie a lot of help, and he even became the Prime Minister."
Yue Haoyun shook his finger: "No."
"Although Han Lie is married to the Wang family, a prominent official family, the support they provide him is still very limited. After all, his father-in-law is only an assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites."
"Han Lie spent a full ten years in the imperial court, and only managed to reach the position of Imperial Secretary in the Ministry of Personnel."
"Besides, if it weren't for my father-in-law's help, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Ministry of Personnel."
Upon hearing this, Han Qingbo couldn't help but ask, "Then how did he eventually become the prime minister?"
"You must know that the position of Prime Minister requires not only outstanding ability, but also the favor of the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but agree in his heart, "The prime ministers in the court are basically the emperor's favorites."
Yue Haoyun continued, "As for the reason, I can't tell you."
"I was still young at that time, and hadn't yet entered the court. I only vaguely remember that year, Han Lie was suddenly favored by my father, and was promoted several levels, from the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Personnel Vice Minister."
"Less than a year later, he was promoted to the position of Prime Minister."
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes flashed, "Such a rapid promotion must have been a remarkable achievement, earning the Emperor's favor."
「I wonder what it was about? Tsk tsk tsk, I'm quite curious. 」
Yue Haoyun continued, "After he was promoted to Prime Minister, he has been in the emperor's good graces for over a decade and has always been deeply trusted by him."
"So much so that before my father passed away, he even chose him as a trusted minister to assist the new emperor."
"What's even more surprising is that after the new emperor ascended the throne, both he and the young empress dowager placed great trust in him."
The Second Prince and Han Qingbo were deeply moved after hearing Han Lie's experience.
Next, the second prince told the two of them about Mr. Liang.
"This Mr. Liang looks a lot like Liang Chaozong in many ways. I wonder if it's him."
Han Qingbo said: "In my opinion, it is very likely."
"Liang Chaozong's wife is the illegitimate daughter of Jiang and Han Lie. Therefore, Liang Chaozong is Han Lie's son-in-law."
"Han Lie loves his wife and his family, so it's only natural for him to help him enter the court and seek an official position."
"Besides, you see, Han Lie recommended Mr. Liang shortly after Han Jie's death."
"So, is it because his only son died that Han Lie can only place his hopes on his daughter and son-in-law, so he recommended Mr. Liang?"
Hearing this, Xia Miaoyuan's face flashed with a look of sudden enlightenment, "Ahhh, I get it!"
If Mr. Liang is Liang Chaozong, then the one who assassinated Han Jie is Liang Chaozong.
[Liang Chaozong is determined to achieve his goal by any means necessary!]
Perhaps, at first, Han Lie didn't really want to help Liang Chaozong. After all, helping him wouldn't do him any good.
[Besides, Han Lie has now become the prime minister. He has both power and money. There is no need for him to take the risk of helping Liang Chaozong restore the country.]
Liang Chaozong's character and personality would certainly not let this go. Therefore, in order to force Han Lie to help him, he killed Han Jie.
The second prince picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, but in fact he was concentrating on listening to his sister's thoughts.
Hearing his sister analyze Liang Chaozong's plan to kill Han Jie, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
[Oh my god, Liang Chaozong is so vicious! ]
[Alas, if you analyze the hero in the original book carefully, he is just a guy who will do anything to achieve his goals.]
[They say he's the child of destiny, perfect in every way, and a bunch of women are willing to follow him. This is just the author's preference.]
[How could such a person of such poor character be worthy of the male lead? He'd be fine as the second male villain.]
The second male villain?
The second prince was a little confused when he heard this.
I don’t know what my sister means by the second male villain.
The delegation stayed at the Mai County official post for two days, rested, and replenished some dry food and water before continuing on their journey.
Fifteen days later, they finally arrived at the capital of Dai Viet.
The young emperor of Dai Viet sent three reception envoys to welcome the delegation into the city at the gate of the capital.
Many people came to watch the fun, and the streets were crowded with people.
Xia Miaoyuan sat in her carriage, holding the chubby little Orange and looking out.
She originally wanted to see how the people in the capital of Dai Viet warmly welcomed the foreign delegation, but when she looked, she discovered a strange situation.
The people watching the excitement on the street not only did not have any joy on their faces, but instead had coldness on their faces.
The way they looked at the delegation was clearly filled with hostility.
[Wow, that's scary!] Xia Miaoyuan felt a cold sweat on his back.
[These people are so strange, why are they so hostile?]
"No, no, I'm not sleep deprived, am I blurry?" Xia Miaoyuan rubbed his eyes and continued to observe.
At this time, a young female voice sounded.
"Mammy, the looks in these people's eyes are so creepy!"
It was Xing'er, the little palace maid sitting at the door of the carriage, who complained to Li Ma.
Nanny Li scolded in a low voice, "Don't talk too much."
Xia Miaoyuan rubbed his cheeks. "It seems it's not my illusion. These people are full of hostility."
"Mammy!" Xia Miaoyuan shook the sleeve of Mammy Li beside her.
"Tell me, why do these people look at us like this? It seems like they don't welcome us at all."
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't find anyone to discuss this with, and she was so anxious that she had to pull Li Ma Ma aside.
"Young Prince, have you forgotten?" Nanny Li whispered.
"A few months ago, a delegation from Dai Viet was sent to Daxia, and Daxia just detained the delegation."
"As the saying goes, courtesy is reciprocity. If you are unkind to my family, I will be unkind to yours."
"I think that this is the principle between people, and it should be similar between countries."
Xia Miaoyuan instantly developed a strong admiration for Li Ma.
"Madam, you are so awesome!" Xia Miaoyuan gave Madam Li a thumbs up.
Nanny Li lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassedly.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
A cold male voice was heard outside the car: "Everyone, we have arrived at the official post station."
