Chapter 196
The History of Qing recorded a conversation between Qing Yingzong and another person. He had once asked Jiang Yan why he placed so many restrictions on his imperial father. At the time, he was still the crown prince, and daring to say such a thing to a powerful minister was already bold enough. Yet Jiang Yan had actually answered him.
"Your father was simply unsuited to be emperor in this era. Of course, no one was suited to it either. In this minister's view, the most suitable person had left many years ago."
Later generations speculated that everything Jiang Yan had done was for the nation and its people, as well as for his promise to Qing Mingzong, Li Yao. That was why he had never once intended to change the dynasty.
Qing Yingzong had been personally raised by Jiang Yan. He became an emperor even more outstanding than his father. In his later years, he had lamented that Jiang Yan had died too early. Otherwise, he could have assisted another wise ruler.
