156. The Situation
"Although it is easy to make a big splash with a sharp edge, but if not, wouldn't it make those who want to make a fuss about you have no reason to excuse? Now that the Wei family is already in a state of flowers and brocade, they will only give the emperor more reasons to clean up the Wei family, and you are just a little bit damaged in your reputation, and your reputation can be made up for in the future, but if you lose your sacred heart, you will have to work hard to remedy it in the future, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. β
Xia Mingche's coherent and clear analysis was exactly what Chu Shaoyuan meant, he deliberately targeted Xia Mansion and Ningguo Mansion today, and he also had plans in this regard, but he didn't expect that Xia Mingche would say such a heartfelt word to him.
Xia Mingche has always been wise to protect himself, even if he studied with his fifth uncle, he rarely expressed any opinions on these political affairs, but he knew that Xia Mingche was actually a very smart person, and he was very sensitive to political affairs, and he had a good insight.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why did the second brother say such a thing to me?"
Xia Mingche frowned slightly, and said after a while: "Originally, I didn't agree with my father raising you in the mansion, the Xia family's premature participation in the partisan struggle is not a good thing for my father, my eldest brother, or me, and your previous temperament was too soft and ......."
The palace is full of people, if the temperament is a little softer, no idea, I am afraid that I will be abolished in a few years after returning to the palace, and I don't even have a better errand, just look at the eldest prince, the biological mother is a low palace person, and the position of the prince is not his turn.
ββ¦β¦ It wasn't until what you did in front of my father just now that I made a decision. Xia Mingche's tone was clear, like the sparkling waves cast by the sunset on the surface of the lake, with only slight ripples, and it was calm in an instant.
Since he was able to make the move just now, he must not be a person who is willing to be ordinary.
Now that the Xia family has entered the game, let's choose the most suitable candidate to support, Chu Shaoyuan, who has been raised in the Xia Mansion for five years, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Chu Shaoyuan was stunned, he originally thought that Xia Mingche would talk about their friendship from childhood to adulthood, but he didn't expect him to say his true thoughts so rationally and simply, and he was a little stunned for a while.
He raised his amber-clear eyes to look at Xia Mingche, and said softly: "I thought that the second brother reminded me like this because we grew up together......"
Xia Mingche's eyebrows twisted, and his expression suddenly became a little strange: "Do you think that if we didn't grow up together, I would need to remind you like this?"
If they didn't have a friendship that grew up together, how could he have made this decision so risky, even if the Xia family entered the game, he would find a way to pull the Xia family out and not get into this troubled water, although it may take some effort, but it is better than his father recklessly pressing the treasure on him, and in the end, he may not be able to come back.
Chu Shaoyuan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
The second brother wants to sue him, since you still have enough brains, then for the sake of growing up together, I will help you, so that you don't have to work so hard alone.
In addition to Xia Shijing, the two brothers of the Xia family are very good people, and the eldest brother can help him out today is something he didn't expect, and the second brother is now saying such a thing to him, which is also a promise to him that the Xia Mansion will do its best to help him in the future, thinking of this, he said solemnly: "Thank you!"
Xia Mingche waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you, you are so unrelenting today, and let the prince of Ningguo bear the thorn to make amends, I am afraid that when you return to the palace tomorrow, there will be a royal history to impeach you for being arrogant and arrogant, you have to think about how you should deal with it." β
Chu Shaoyuan smiled, "What I'm waiting for is the impeachment of Yushi, so that my father can know that a little prince of Ningguo can also bully me." β
He has been living in exile among the people for not a year or two, and there is no power of his in the court, and he was impeached by the imperial history as soon as he returned to the palace, what will the emperor think? He will only feel that he is helpless and feel pity, and the emperor knows better than him about the things of that year, and it is also the emperor's intention to put him in the Xia Mansion, and if he is really impeached, the emperor will only treat him better.
Moreover, if the emperor wants to take back the control of the horse market and the northwest, who is more suitable than him? He is his own son, and he has no power, so he must rely on the emperor to have a way out.
Xia Mingche nodded: "Tomorrow, the eldest brother can't go to the martial arts test, I estimate that tomorrow it will be the second brother Pei who will take the jackpot, since Chen Jichang is the commander of Yan Yunwei, who was promoted by An Beihou, then the second brother Pei will help us today, and he will inevitably be wearing small shoes, and when the time comes, think of a way to let him enter the eyes of the emperor, if the emperor knows that in his personal guards, there are people who are bent on outsiders......"
How could the emperor tolerate such a thing? You must know that the so-called personal guards are the emperor's dead soldiers, and the hearts of the dead soldiers are tantamount to telling the emperor that your throne should be replaced by another person.
Since the emperor helped the Wei family seize the throne, his suspicion has become more and more serious, and in line with the attitude of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, Chen Jichang will definitely not end well.
Today's Wei family looks at the wealth and power, the northwest has a rich errand like the horse market, the military power in the northwest is also in the hands, Anbei Hou is countless protΓ©gΓ©s in the imperial capital, and the court is full of henchmen, Anbei Hou's sister is the queen's honor, and the prince is the queen, and the glory of the Wei family is only one step away from being able to touch the position of the Son of Heaven.
On the side of the couch, how can others snore and sleep, even if he is wronged, if he is the emperor, he will not let go of the Wei family.
Chu Shaoyuan's eyes lit up, I have to say that Xia Mingche has a very vicious vision for political affairs, and a few words can point out the focus, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but think, fortunately, the second brother helped him, if the second brother was his enemy, he must feel that his head was as big as a fight.
His mind turned to Chanyi again, the Xia family has a think tank like the second brother, at least my sister will not suffer any grievances,
Although he does not have any rights in his hands now, and his eyes are dark when he returns to the palace, like a blind man touching an elephant, but he is not afraid, the experience before the age of eight made him know that he must endure if he wants to live well, and after arriving in the Xia Mansion, he has practiced forbearance to the extreme, not only hiding his temperament but also hiding his feelings, just being a concubine of an ordinary official family, neither outstanding nor backward, looking like he has no desire and no desire to be weak and easy to bully, but there are some things he must do, the mother concubine cannot die in vain, and his hard work over the years cannot be in vain.
He said softly: "Second brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will go back to the palace tomorrow, presumably my father will ask me about my life outside the palace, I have already thought about how to deal with it, the so-called courtesy is still exchanged, since the Wei family gave me such a big gift as the prince of Ningguo, I naturally can't prepare a bad return gift." β
Xia Mingche thought about it: "That's good, today my mother once told you, saying that if you encounter difficulties, you can find Aunt Zhuang, I thought about it, the current Queen Mother is the sister of her grandmother, both Aunt Zhuang's aunt and her mother's aunt, and you have lived in my house for five years, then you are more close than others, the Queen Mother does not care about the harem now, let Aunt Zhuang and the queen associate the six palaces, the emperor is the most filial, and the queen mother is more close to the queen mother will only be good and not bad......"
Chu Shaoyuan nodded and listened carefully to Xia Mingche's analysis.
In the main room of Yunqi Courtyard, the two young people carefully analyzed the difficulties and obstacles that they could encounter in the future under the bright palace lights, one by one, as if the future was an evil dragon, they were the warriors who slay the dragon, with a faint light, desperately throwing themselves into the unknown stars.
This is Chu Shaoyuan's last night in Xia Mansion as Xia Mingyi's identity, after he ascended the throne and became Emperor Ming many years ago, when he overlooked the magnificent night view of Yunfu in the Great Yan Capital City in the Star Viewing Pavilion, he recalled more than once that when he was in Xia Mansion, this gave him countless warm nights.
β¦β¦
After Xia Mingche left, Xia Qi came over and whispered to Chu Shaoyuan: "Third Master, Qiao Lan from Xifeng Yuan has been waiting outside for a long time..."
Chu Shaoyuan nodded, put on a fur cloak and walked out of Yunqi Courtyard, Qiao Lan saw Chu Shaoyuan, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Third master, Aunt Yan has been waiting for you for a long time......"
He waved his hand, signaling that he knew, and walked towards Xifeng Garden with a jade plaque in his hand.
Aunt Yan was leaning on the warm kang in the main room at this time, looking at the vast night outside the glass window in a daze, planning for so long, the master didn't even mention it to her, Brother Yi was going back to the palace so suddenly, it seemed that she was really disgusted, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
When Chu Shaoyuan came in, he saw Aunt Yan with a thick gauze wrapped around her head, and she sat on the kang with a solemn expression to wipe her tears, he frowned and asked, "Why is my aunt crying?"
Aunt Yan looked up at his sister-like face, only to feel that her mouth was salty and bitter, she opened her mouth and shouted, "Yi'er ......" Only then did she realize that her voice was hoarse like this.
Chu Shaoyuan raised his hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, and said softly: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go back and ask you for a favor, and you will have no worries about food and clothing and a stable life from now on." β
Aunt Yan looked at his amber-bright eyes, tears couldn't stop flowing, and she sobbed sadly, "I'm afraid my aunt won't be able to wait for that day, the lord hates me, I'm afraid that as soon as you go back, I will be sent to the nunnery." β
Chu Shaoyuan's brows furrowed even tighter, "Auntie, don't worry, you won't be sent to the nunnery by anyone, you can rest assured that you have recovered in the Xia Mansion, and when I reach the age of opening my teeth and building the mansion, I will take you to live with me." β
Aunt Yan shook her head, and her tears fell even more fiercely, "Aunt is just a lowly concubine, unless there is a change in identity, it is impossible to help you take care of housework." β
[Xiaoyi is really uninspired today, so it has been delayed until now before there is a change, the top pot lid runs away, if you have any good opinions on the plot, leave a message for Xiaoyi~]
