18. Chapter 18
Sending away the big Buddha of Princess Anhe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady was really tired, but she still remembered to thank the third old lady for her righteous words, so that Princess Ann and Princess He had nothing to say.
Although they all know that Princess Anhe will not give up, but today this level has finally passed, and the old lady will have no backbone, and is about to go back to discuss with someone how to make the princess angry.
The third old lady was very uncomfortable when she saw Pan like this, and reminded her that as a housewife, even in the face of the princess, she couldn't be so boneless. The title of Yingguo Mansion is earned by real swords and guns, and the men in the family are the emperor's ministers, not the emperor's minions.
But thinking of the current situation of the Xie family in Nanling, there are some things that it is better not to say too clearly, after all, there are some truths, those who understand understand it if they don't say it, and those who don't understand it will not understand you but will think that you are troublesome.
In the end, the third old lady only told her that "Princess Jin had something to say before leaving, and this matter is entrusted to Master Wei, or it may be resolved." The prince went to pick up the prince of the country, and he would probably come out soon, and you would tell the princess of Jin the words of the princess to the prince of the country and the prince of the country, and see what they planned. โ
The Lord Wei that Princess Jin said was none other than Princess Anhe's father-in-law and the head of the Wei family.
Wei Wuwu is the grandson of Master Wei, and he was injured in the Xie family, will he still help the Xie family appease his daughter-in-law? The old lady couldn't quite understand Princess Jin's words.
The third old lady came to Beijing not long ago, so she naturally didn't know what Princess Jin's mention meant, but Yingguo Mansion has a prince and a son, and she is a distant relative, so just bring the words to it, and it will not be her turn to take care of the rest.
After coming out of Qingzhu Hall, the third old lady saw the two cousins and nephews waiting outside.
The two young men, both fourteen or fifteen years old, stood on the edge of the bamboo forest, and their posture was more beautiful than the straight bamboo poles. Seeing them, the third old lady was in a better mood, and when she returned to Qianlang Pavilion in the company of them, the third old lady asked, "Have you talked to the prince of the East Palace?" โ
The son of the East Palace is the emperor's great-grandson Xing Youling.
The two brothers of the Xie family's main branch came all the way from Nanling for this matter. Originally, they were going to stay in the capital for a few days, wait for some scholars, and then slowly observe the actions of the East Palace, but they didn't expect to be so lucky this time, and they actually met the emperor's great-grandson Xing Youling himself, this opportunity, naturally, could not be missed.
Xie Han and Xie Yi glanced at each other, lowered their heads and said, "Yes." โ
"As far as you can see, this great-grandson of the emperor is young and promising?"
"The emperor's great-grandson is elegant and elegant, and he is the most amiable."
Sven and elegant, the most amiable?
This kind of good temperament is not a good thing for an heir to the throne. Especially under the backdrop of several iron-blooded princes, it is particularly thin and weak.
The third old lady was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "How long has this world been stable?" โ
"The third grandmother is merciful."
"These days, you guys should have a good time, and when the matter of the six girls is over, we will go back."
"Go back?" Xie Han said disapprovingly: "Third grandmother, we know what you mean, but I think it is still as the old saying goes, the reason why a crisis becomes a crisis is because there is an opportunity in the crisis, if we can seize this opportunity, wouldn't it be a great thing?" โ
For example, the current Yingguo Mansion, if it hadn't followed the rebellion at the beginning, where would there be the current Xie family?
The third old lady glared at him and scolded: "Opportunism is never the right way. โ
Xie Han was reprimanded and hung his head aggrievedly.
At this time, Xie Yicai, who had not spoken, said: "My Xie family has always relied on real talent and learning, and I can't do it blindly opportunistic." But those who succeed in things cannot but wait for the opportunity, the so-called opportunity, naturally does not appear in vain, many times, the crisis is indeed the opportunity. โ
Thank you has always been more stable than thank you, not to mention that the third old lady has already scolded Xie Han, so naturally she can't scold Xie Han anymore.
It's just that she sighed, but what she said: "I am in trouble, but there is no one in the Xie family." โ
Is there no one in the Xie family?
The Xie family is a century-old family, even if it is not obvious now, but the heritage of many years is still there after all, not to mention the children of the family, it is the guy who guards the door, and he can also chant poems if he pulls one out at random. If someone dares to say that there is no one in the Xie family, they will definitely be laughed out, but this is said by the Xie family itself, thank you and thank the two brothers, and no one can say anything to refute it.
Indeed, the younger generation of the Xie family has grown up, and they have been carefully adjusted/taught to grow up, and they are also full of talents.
But one thing is true, since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the Xie family has blindly emphasized literature and light on martial arts, which is why the Xie family later, even if they saw the right time, it was difficult to grasp the reason.
It must be known that the statement of the century-old clan of the Xie family is not just a poet immortal, a word saint, three calligraphers and more than a dozen first and auxiliary ministers. When the Xie family was at its peak, it was because there were several generals of Dingguo, who fought on the battlefield and made great achievements, and also left eleven military books. This made the world believe in their hearts that the Xie family is an indispensable mainstay of the dynasty, and such a Xie family can become a super-class family in the family.
However, the battle on the battlefield, after all, is a chore, and later the children live โกโก easy, far from the blood of the ancestors, although the cultural and administrative attainments are not small, but the consequence of blindly emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts is to abolish martial arts.
For example, the current situation.
In the hearts of the three old ladies, since the grandson has been named the prince, he is the future king who is rightfully named.
Now that he is old, when the children of the Xie family come out, it will be time for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
If the Xie family goes out of the mountain, they will naturally follow the new monarch. However, compared to those iron-blooded princes, their strength should not be underestimated.
If the East Palace is strong, it is okay to be assisted by his subordinates, and according to their observations all along, they can find out that the grandson of the East Palace is ...... How so? Saying that Sven is elegant is a compliment, but in fact he is weak and irresponsible, he is simply an enlarged version of the emperor's great-grandson, and the two are worthy of being father and son.
This is what the Xie family is most hesitant about.
Those princes look quite honest at the moment, and that's because they are still there. When they go up now, it is not their brothers who have ascended the throne, but the younger generation and incapable grandsons. That's not all, a few princes, and they are not brave and unscrupulous, people one by one, not to mention both civil and military, are also talented, if they don't make trouble, it's fine, but no matter how you look at it, those few people are not willing to be people. And the large group of scholars gathered around the imperial grandson, no matter how powerful they are, they can't stop the swords and guns!
It's okay if someone in the Xie family knows how to lead troops to fight, but it's a big deal to help Sheji when he is in danger, but the Xie family today can't get such a person at all. Even the Yingguo Mansion, which was knighted with martial arts, looked at Xie Yun and Xie Xun's brothers, they all abandoned martial arts, this is really ......
The Xie family came out too early, and the risk was too great. The third old lady felt that she would not think about it if she waited until she went back and let the men refer to it.
Seeing that the old lady had already made a decision, she had to follow the arrangement and prepare to return to Nanling.
On the other side, Princess Anhe, who watched her son scream all night, rushed into the palace to complain to the emperor before dawn the next day.
