Xiao Xia's mother-in-law glanced at Xia Xiucai, turned her head and asked Xiaoyu: "Then according to your opinion, does the second brother want to come back?"

Xiaoyu tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiled coldly, and said slyly: "Such a wealth is not worth the second brother's desperate struggle." Now, though, is not the time to return. Huh!"

Xiaoyu's eyes fell on the newspaper the day before yesterday, and her eyes were shining. Xiaoyu pushed the newspaper to her mother: "Look at this, alas, I really want to know how the emperor decides." ”

Xiao Xia Pozi and Xia Xiucai all went over to look, and the fifth brother, Ruhai and the seventh brother also came over from the side. Xiaoyu pointed to the above Shangshu Tang Beiran's recital, but it was Emperor Jian who adopted the method of pushing grace from the previous dynasty to divide the power of the vassal king to all the descendants of the vassal king, not just the eldest son, and to divide it in a different place. It is said that it is divided, but in fact it is demoted, so that the power of the vassal king will be gradually weakened and will no longer threaten the imperial court.

Princes have always passed on the hereditary title to their eldest son, and if the eldest son has a loss of virtue, he only chooses one of the other sons to inherit. to ensure hereditary replacement, from generation to generation. If the concubine is divided, after a few generations, the power of the vassal king will be eaten away little by little.

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law couldn't help but look at it, this is a good plan. The soldiers are not bloody, but it is a good way to boil frogs in warm water.

Xiaoyu hurriedly rummaged through the rest of the newspapers, hoping to find updated news. The fifth brother looked at her with a smile and looked disappointed for a long time, and finally sat down with a pouting and said, "Fifth brother, your news is coming so slowly, and many major events have been delayed by you." ”

The fifth brother leaned over, blew Xiaoyu's nose and said, "Yo, Xiaoyu also has something big to do!"

Xiao Yu snorted, turned her head to look at Xiao Xia's mother-in-law and said, "King Xing must have the latest palace newspaper there." Let the third brother come and see me. ”

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law knocked on her daughter's head with a chestnut, Xiaoyu shrank her neck in pain and inhaled the cold air, looking at Xia Xiucai pitifully. Xia Xiucai also shook his head and said: "It's you, it's your fifth brother who cares so much about the Di Bao, and you still want to read the Di Bao in the palace, don't kill you." ”

Xiaoyu rubbed her head aggrievedly: "I'm just saying yes." You don't need to look at this, the emperor will definitely not adopt it. ”

Ruhai asked strangely: "Why, this strategy even looks good to me." ”

Xiaoyu raised his head and thought for a while, as if he didn't know where to start, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Oh, you can see what he did in the past, he will definitely not use this idea." If we use it, it would be fine, and we don't have to worry about the second brother. With that, he pouted and sighed.

Mrs. Xiao Xia watched her make a very strategic appearance, and couldn't help but be angry and funny. Turning his head and mentioning Ruhai Dao: "A person has his own means of doing things, for example, some people are wronged, they will only hide and cry, some people will rush over and fight with each other to break the bloodstream, and some people are stumbling behind their backs." ”

Ruhai nodded when he heard this, thinking of the acting king who had just been arrested, and suddenly realized: "Then today's temperament" Ruhai paused, but couldn't find a good word to describe Jinshang.

The fifth brother smiled: "It should be a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and he feels that he is right." It's a pity that things are done too cautiously. This momentum is still a loss. But he didn't say who he lost to. It's just that everyone here already knows it in their hearts.

The fifth brother pushed over a newspaper again, pointed to the recital of Gao Zhengru, who was the left judge of the military governor's mansion in front of him, and said: "The idea of high judgment is also meritorious, the so-called capture of the thief and the king first. If King Yi is eliminated first, the other kings will not have to be afraid, but," the fifth brother said and flipped through the newspaper, pointing to Huang Yuanji's argument a month ago: "This argument is obviously about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but in fact it is about the current royal affairs. You look at this paragraph, it is clear that the king who won and weakened should be eliminated today, in order to remove the wings of King Yi, and wait for the throne to be more stable, and get rid of King Yi in one fell swoop. ”

Xia Xiucai and Xiao Xia's mother-in-law listened to it and bowed their heads frequently.

Seventh Brother thought for a while and said, "Although the previous one is a little aggressive, there is something feasible about it. This latter one is not a good idea. I'm afraid that now that all the kings are in danger, it will be even more difficult if King Yi unites. ”

The fifth brother let out a long sigh, nodded silently, and then turned to the seventh brother and Ruhai and said, "Don't spy on King Xing's movements." He also advised: "If it is a discussion among classmates, just listen to it on the sidelines, if Zhou Li or Song Zhuojin talk about something, don't talk to it, let alone inquire at will." ”

"Nephew saved. Ruhai knew it in his heart, but he was afraid that King Xing would not be afraid that he would be forced to take some measures now, so as not to be caught like the king and sit still. If they think that the Xia family has peeked into their secret, they are afraid that they will not know if they are destroyed.

Everyone talked about it again, and they all felt that it was better to be still than to be still. The fifth brother drafted a letter to the family again, and after considering and considering, he only asked the second brother and the sixth brother to act carefully. After everyone discussed it, they found that Xiaoyu had fallen asleep leaning back in the chair.

Mrs. Xiao Xia smiled bitterly. Xia Xiucai patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, she's just young and playful, I'm afraid I'm not very interested in these things." Besides, she is also clever and measured. ”

Xiao Xia sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

In King Xing's mansion, King Xing is also looking at the latest newspaper with the prince. With the current ability of the Xia family, they can't get such a new mansion newspaper, of course, the news in Xingwang's hands is naturally more than the sporadic news in this mansion newspaper.

King Xing gritted his teeth hatefully, and the muscles on his cheeks jumped and jumped, as if he was going to eat someone alive. Shizi pursed his lips and looked at his father, with a stunned look in his eyes that could not be concealed.

King Xing took a deep breath and slammed his fist on Huang Huali's table, shaking the cups on it to jump.

Shizi hurriedly stood up and persuaded: "Why did my father hurt his body for that well-dressed deer. Besides, this news is still and has yet to be verified. "I think that in the next life, I will know that this is just a comforting word for my father, and when it comes to it, I can't even hear it.

King Xing looked at the newspaper on the case, and he didn't know how many times he had read every word on it. On behalf of the king, the second son rebelled, and the second son killed his relatives in righteousness, but now in addition to the second son, he is actually degraded to a concubine and sent to the frontier.

Seeing that King Xing was grief-stricken, the prince couldn't help but persuade: "Father, we are pressing step by step today, and we must also discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible." Otherwise"

King Xing looked up and sighed: "I don't know, it's just that we only have a few thousand guards in our hands, how can we achieve great things." Alas, now, it is the man who is the knife and the fish and the flesh. ”

Shizi leaned closer, pressed his entire upper body against the table, stretched out a finger, lowered his voice and said, "How?"

King Xing shook his head and said softly: "Your identity is sensitive, and Ah Li is reckless. Saying that, he sneered again: "Even a little country girl like the Xia family can play him around." Sun Lu'er stared at us every day to rejuvenate the palace, wishing that if we made a wrong step, he could make a great contribution. ”

The prince said anxiously: "Are we just resigned to fate like this? ”

King Xing clenched his hand into a fist to his lips, and said in an urn: "What can you do if you are unwilling! Looking at your brother these days, don't let him go out and cause trouble." Alas, if it were," King Xing squinted his eyes and thought, if I also had eight sons to tribal, I would not be so overstretched, and there would be no one to use it.

"I heard that the eldest grandson of the Xia family rejected the son of the Song family. ”

Shizi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how the topic turned here. nodded and said, "I originally wanted to come over to be a guard, but I was persuaded by my family." ”

"Do you know who his second brother is?"

The prince suddenly realized, if there is him, then he will not worry that the Xia family will not enter the game, and when the time comes, he will contact King Yi through Xia Yanwen, and he will not be unaware.

"The little girl in his family is very pampered by her family. It's a pity that the identity is too bad, otherwise"

King Xing's eyes lit up: "When is it now, our family's life hangs by a thread, and we are still stuck to this." You find a matchmaker to find out the wind, and the wife can do it. ”

"Ahh

King Xing shook his head: "You are still too young, the Xia family is not simple." You find a suitable time to have a chance to meet Xia Xiucai. Ahh Rubbing his hands together, he said: "Follow the light, follow the light, you have to remember, we have to be people with our tails between our legs now." ”

Shizi's face turned red and said, "No, no, I, how can I go to the matchmaker." ”

King Xing clapped his hands and laughed: "But I want to discuss it with your mother." ”

The next day, King Xing and Princess Xing had lunch together, and they were not in a hurry to leave, so they retreated left and right, and chatted with Princess Xing, but talked about the nearest form.

Speaking of the acting king and the acting princess, the husband and wife couldn't help but sigh. On the same day, the palace feasted and drank together, the king was in high spirits, and the princess was graceful and luxurious. At that time, they were still their well-behaved nephews, and everyone drank and talked happily, as if it were yesterday. However, in two years, the acting king and the acting princess have been imprisoned, although they have never seen it, they must have been insulted.

After all, Princess Xing is a woman, and when she spoke, she moved her true feelings, took King Xing's hand and said: "Now I am taboo to the vassal king, if you and I have such a day, please spare me from being humiliated." ”

King Xing patted her hand and smiled, "Where will it get to that point?" ”

asked again: "Li'er, it's also the age of discussing relatives." But who doesn't?"

Princess Xing sighed: "This will be a big deal, who dares to promise the girl to us." I only asked a few brothers and sisters in my mother's family, but they were not suitable. ”

King Xing said slowly: "I have a candidate, you know the little girl of the Xia family, the one who played Li'er around." ”

Princess Xing looked at her husband in surprise, blinked vigorously, as if thinking about something, and said after a while, "Our family has really reached this point?"

King Xing nodded solemnly: "Marrying a commoner is also to avoid the limelight, if it is really true in the future, maybe Li'er's line can still stay." ”
