Chapter 123: The Blade Hides
King Xiao bowed: "If you really can't think of other candidates, this is also a way to guarantee the bottom." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
I glanced at him and laughed briskly: "In the end, it's Sister Su's eldest uncle, the prince said so, although Sister Susu may not be willing to blame you, but if she really doesn't blame you, it seems that it's hers again." β
Xiao Wang reacted very quickly and looked up at me thoughtfully.
So she told Su Su and her aunt's heart.
Xu Jiji's affection and care for Su Su is only afraid that it is not enough to be the reason why he defects to King Xiao and obeys King Xiao in everything. Since he can't be tied by family affection, if King Xiao really wants to use him for a long time, he should think of other ways to contain him and teach him that he has to be loyal to him.
Concubine Shu's suppression is the reason why he is currently moving closer to King Xiao's lineage. But what about after King Xiao helps him to reinstate himself? People's hearts are changeable, and he has relieved his urgent worries, but will he continue as always?
King Xiao smiled understandingly, "This king understands." It seems that Xu Shangshu will need a helper who can see the six roads in the future. β
My heart jumped: Hou Xiaolan is the right person.
Listening to his brother's meaning, he came from his father's disciple, and he was quite appreciated and valued in the past. So in the eyes of the crown prince, Liu Xiang, Concubine Shu, Jiang Yuhong and others, since he is branded as a protΓ©gΓ© of the Gu family, he will not lead him to the core figure of his side. Such a person, unless he betrays the Gu family, will be favored by other eunuchs, but he will naturally resist and guard against him in his heart.
If there are defects in word-of-mouth and public opinion due to character, it will not be a big tool after all.
Therefore, for Hou Xiaolan and other old Gu people, the best way out is for the old master to return, regain his authority, and rise with him and show his ambitions.
What's more, listening to my brother's meaning, this person is a pure-minded person. Therefore, his father was still young and straightforward, and he had more experience in general affairs, and his position was not high.
After Gu was convicted, it was this reason that allowed him to stay in the Ministry of Rites and escape the catastrophe.
That's even better.
What's more, King Xiao also has to use it.
So he reminded King Xiao: "What does the prince think of Lord Hou Xiaolan mentioned by the imperial sister?
"Hou Xiaolan in the Ministry of Rites? I have an impression of this person, and his character is good. It's just that with his current status as a subordinate official, it seems that it is difficult to contain a Shangshu. β
"The prince has thought that if Lord Xu can be reinstated to the throne of Shangshu, the current position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites will be vacant. Since you want to use Lord Hou, why not mention his position? He will be more dedicated to the affairs of the six lives. β
I saw that he was very interested in listening, so I continued: "Originally, Mrs. Hui's father Guan Linyuan was also in the Ministry of Rites, but Zhu Yingniang and Mrs. Hui were very close, and the concubine heard that the Zhu family and the Guan family had always advanced and retreated together. Since the prince wants to use Zhu Yingniang's matter to push the Zhu family, and make a big fuss to fight back against Liu Xiang, it is not appropriate to get too close to Guan Linyuan. β
King Xiao lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then raised his head and whispered "um", "That's all." Since Hou Xiaolan is also valued by the imperial sister, let's use him to revitalize the game of chess of the Ministry of Rites. β
He looked at me with burning eyes, and the corners of his mouth pouted with a hint of unclear meaning: "It's just that this king didn't want you to work too hard......
I didn't have time to think about it, but my heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably in his gaze that contained a thousand words.
It was easy to calm down, and Fang Xu said what he thought in his heart: "Now that the candidate is available, how can the excerpt of this Ministry of Rites be written by the prince in his heart?
King Xiao's eyes were already filled with some ambiguous teasing in the inner curtain, but at this time, he suddenly disappeared, and listened to me with a little solemnity and continued.
"The concubine thought that it was really unwise for the concubine to bite the imperial sister with her standing up this time. The eleventh prince does not occupy either the heir nor the long, and the move of the lady concubine is no different from painting the ground as a prison! But for the prince and you, if you suggest that the heir should not be established for the sake of the six lives, or insist that the heir should be established, it seems to be a little hindering to you. β
King Xiao bowed his head: "The lonely king is the son-in-law, but not the eldest son." β
"Therefore, how to write the excerpts of the Ministry of Rites, the prince must also set a charter for them first. If you are always spinning around in the patriarchal law, it is not in your favor. β
When King Xiao heard this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, staring at the candlelight and falling into deep thought.
I got up silently and sat down at the tea table, calmly took four or five white plum blossoms picked in the morning, put them in a cup, mixed a little honey, and boiled and soaked them in the snow water collected on the plum petals. This method originates from "Hundred Flower Mirrors", which clears away heat and relieves anger, and it is very simple.
Quietly, he put the plum blossom drink with just the right temperature in his mouth.
King Xiao came back to his senses and took a sip, and said with a smile: "The lips and teeth are fragrant, as if they are in a merchant, clean and unhindered." β
I smiled.
A sudden look of clarity suddenly flashed in his eyes: "If you go around in circles on the elder, do you know if Concubine Shu is really confused or fake?" Or, even if she is confused, then Jiang Yuhong and the strategists around him will not be so impulsive." They were sure that the king and Yongjia had always been close and would intervene in this matter. If this king suggests at this time that the heir of the eldest princess's mansion should not be appointed as a chief, then when the eleventh prince gets involved in the crown prince one day, he will have no position to accuse him of not being a concubine.
If the king is silent and the elder brother of the six lives is established, then the public opinion that the heir is not virtuous and the grandson grows up to the sky, the position of the prince will be more stable. Even if he is grounded now, it is difficult for this king and the ministers around him to do anything further. β
I couldn't help but be shocked: I originally thought it was just a momentary anger of Concubine Shu, but it turned out to be a nine-fold bow and a hidden blade!
I have always been conceited of my intellect, and at this time I can't help but be annoyed, and secretly afraid.
After a long time, I remembered to ask King Xiao: "Then how are you going to deal with it?"
King Xiao smiled calmly: "Let the Ministry of Rites come to the court with royal blood, and let the imperial sister follow her heart." It's better to avoid Jiang Yuhong's trap. β
I stretched out my hand to support my forehead and let out a long breath: "These things are too winding, and the concubine suddenly feels that her brain hurts." It's hard for the prince to think about this every day!"
King Xiao suddenly stretched out his finger and pulled down my hand to look at it. At first, I thought he was doing bad again, but as he looked at it, a bruise on the back of his hand came to mind.
"What's wrong with you, what's hurt?"
I let out a soft "huh", withdrew my hand and looked at it carefully under the lamp, and said, "There was something wrong with the carriage on the way back, and I almost fell off my seat at that time, most likely because of it at that time." β
King Xiao asked very nervously, "What's wrong with the carriage?"
