Text Chapter 132 The Situation in the Middle Kingdom
"What will happen to that old guy?" Is the third brother afraid that he will be severely reprimanded by his father?" Xiao Feixing frowned, still with a look of incomprehension, "Isn't this a good thing." The old guy before was still partnering with the old thing in Yuwen Xiucheng and crushing the eldest brother of the prince. ”
Yue'er, who was carefully tidying up Xiao Yichen's black hair behind him, suddenly interjected and said softly at this moment: "Your Highness is worried that the political enemies of the Right Prime Minister will take the opportunity to attack on a large scale, and finally cause His Majesty the Holy Monarch to make a gesture of reprimand even if he is unwilling?"
"Look, look!!" Xiao Yichen raised his hand and pointed to Yue'er behind him, but his eyes fell on Xiao Feixing's face, "This is a proper IQ crushing! Behind this king is a genius, and in front of this king is a fool!"
"Hee-hee-......" The little beauties immediately burst into laughter, which only made Xiao Feixing's face a little more bitter.
The crumpled face was full of grief and indignation, and Xiao Feixing, who was extremely unwilling, said weakly: "Third brother, how can you say that we are also brothers, how much to save me some face, especially in front of beautiful women!"
"If you're saving face, you're going to be stupid to death. Xiao Yichen didn't mind at all, and after a joke, he said: "Among the eight great families, the Yuwen family and the Nangong family are the most powerful, on the one hand, because there are many talents in their clans, and they have left a strong mark on the court in the past dynasties. On the other hand, the Yuwen family has the most powerful business ability in the entire empire, not only creating wealth for the empire, but also making the family rich, even if his father has to give him three points, and is even known as the God of Wealth among the people. However, the Nangong family started with the military industry and was good at weapon construction, and the various military factories under its name alone accounted for nearly one-third of the empire's starships and weapons production capacity. Nowadays, although they are all civil officials, one is on the left and the other is on the right, and they cooperate on the surface, but there are actually a lot of private battles.
The disciples and clansmen of the Nangong family have many important positions in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials, while the Yuwen family has the most people in the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Officials. All along, the old thing in Yuwen Xiucheng always wanted to dominate the most important officials of the empire, but he was repeatedly frustrated in front of Nangong Wen. If this incident is really completely sealed and sent to the court, then the courtiers who are attached to the Yuwen family will inevitably attack on a large scale. At that time, Nangong Wen is likely to be reprimanded by his father for 'teaching his son without a way and his majesty is not strict', and the officials who have a great relationship with this negligence will usher in a new reshuffle. At that time, even if Nangong Wen wants to keep the disciples of the ministry, it will be difficult for him to speak. Then think about it, who will be the one who will profit the most from this reshuffle?"
"If that's the case, then even the tail of the old fox in Yuwen Xiucheng will be happy. Xiao Feixing's thick eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and after thinking about it, he said, "Third brother, this can't make him successful." In recent years, Yuwen Xiucheng and Dugu Hu have been very close. If he is allowed to control the ministry again, let alone the prince's eldest brother's edict, even if it is the former dynasty and the harem, it will become the world of Yuwen. ”
"You're right. Xiao Yichen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yuwen Xiucheng was originally the most proud of it, that is, in the harem, Emperor Hui's concubine was his daughter-in-law, and she was also one of the most powerful women in the harem.
A few years ago, Yuwen Xiucheng was named the imperial concubine because of his daughter, and there was no queen in the harem, and even she was very favored by her father, so he was full of confidence, and he could sit back and relax. But the problem is that a few years ago, my father handed over the seal of the harem to your mother. Of course, there is your mother's calm and solemn merit, but it is undeniable that even his father has realized that he cannot let the power of the Yuwen Gate Valve further expand.
The people who mix in this court, which one is not a human spirit. Even if the father emperor didn't mean to suppress Yuwen, just this action was enough to arouse their suspicion. Therefore, Yuwen Xiucheng, who was sitting back and relaxing, began to have a sense of crisis, and at this time, Dugu Hu happened to be sent to the door, how could he not accept it? Dugu Hu was just an official position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites in the previous dynasty, but his daughter was a virtuous concubine. If the virtuous concubine and the Huihuang concubine are mixed together, it will also be a lot of pressure on your mother. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yichen glanced at Xiao Feixing and found that his thick eyebrows were tightly locked, as if he was worried about his mother, but he didn't say anything, and said indifferently: "Then there is the Nangong Gate." Nangong Wen was very smart and knew that it was easy to provoke the jealousy of his father by reaching out to the harem, so he thought of the prince directly. directly married his own granddaughter, Nangong Chuchu, to the eldest brother of the crown prince and became the current crown princess. I have to say that when this king heard the news in southern Xinjiang, he also sincerely admired this old guy's long-term vision and decisive means. ”
"What a long-term decision, he just wants to rely on the feelings of the eldest brother and the third brother to pull us all into his chariot. Even if you can't do this, at least you can leave a way out for yourself. Even if something really happens in the future, whether Sister Chu Chu goes to beg the eldest brother of the crown prince or the third brother, will you really kill the Nangong family?" Xiao Feixing said very neatly.
"Hehe, nothing else, this is very clear. Xiao Yichen said with a smile, and said again: "Since you can see this clearly, then you should know that Nangong Wen's ambition is not as big as Yuwen Xiucheng, but he is definitely not a master to be messed with." What's more, no matter what he says, he is also the father-in-law of the eldest brother of the crown prince, whether it is private or public, the power of the Nangong Sect in the court to hold the Yuwen Gate valve hostage, for our royal family, there is only benefit and no harm. Therefore, they can be appropriately suppressed to make him understand that if he really works against us royal families, then Yuwen alone can eat him. This is why this king wants to pull Nangong Jun out as a target, and let Nangong Wen know that this king is very 'angry' about him and Yuwen Xiucheng conspiring to suppress the prince's eldest brother! That old guy is a smart man, and he only needs this level of suppression to make him make appropriate concessions in the court in the future, and this king's goal has been achieved. But ......"
Xiao Feixing also understood what Xiao Yichen meant, nodded and said with some embarrassment: "But the current situation is beyond imagination, the appropriate suppression prepared by the third brother has become a boulder that will overwhelm the Nangong Gate." And it's a matter of treason, and it's hard for us or the eldest brother of the prince to intercede for that old guy. If the courtiers are persecuted, I am afraid that in the end, there will really be a situation like the one you said in the third brother, so that Yuwen Xiucheng can easily occupy the officials!"
