In the entire Daxing Dynasty, there was only one Prime Minister, and to make such a promise to a mere Fourth Rank Official, how should one deal with those senior ministers in the Capital?
Is it to grant lands and titles, or to promise someone's daughter in marriage, or perhaps to let one's grandson become the Crown Prince?
Regardless of which, each possibility strengthened Qin Longyun's belief that Prince Liang was not fit to ascend to the throne.
A ruler must have clear-cut and measured rewards and punishments, not just come up with solutions on the fly.
The smile on Prince Liang's face stiffened slightly, "Doesn't Lord Qin care about the future of his descendants at all?"
"Children and grandchildren will have their own fortunes, whatever they become is their own doing,"
Qin Longyun said indifferently. He just wanted to live well with Chen Yiling; as for descendants, whatever they want, they should strive for themselves. After all, what one gains from others never lasts.
