Chapter 144: Marriage
"If you go back to the county lord, the princes will come back, but the queen mother may not let them visit the palace, and that's just a matter of a few days." Xiao Zhuzi replied with a voice, holding the dust next to Zhao Shu, rubbing some ice air, cooler.
I don't know why, the capital is extraordinarily hot, many places have entered autumn, add clothes, the capital is still like dog days, all say that the weather is abnormal this year, there is a big event, he feels very right.
Zhao Shu thought about it, and looked at the sky with her cheeks, the begonias outside the window actually bloomed, isn't it a little early?
"Hey, have you figured it out?" Sun Yun waited for a long time and found that she was fascinated by the begonias, "There is no one over there." ”
Zhao Shu glanced at her and said, "The princes are also very idle, what have they been doing recently?" ”
"The eldest prince has frequently befriended courtiers recently, but the courtiers can carry it clearly, and no one cares about him, and the other princes are like that." This generation of princes is also unlucky, when he encounters Emperor Mingde, his methods are quite tough, he does not give real power and does not seal the king, and he wants to make friends with a courtier, but no one cares.
is good to the princes, the king gives the land, they are not satisfied, they still want to be the emperor, they are not good to them, they don't give anything, they only raise, let them study, and they seem useless.
There are pros and cons, and it is the most difficult thing to do in the world.
"How can it be okay, find something to do for them, send a message to Lord Xie, and ask him to thoroughly investigate the case of King Xian, who has been stuck in the court for so long, it's time to investigate, and the princes will not be idle if they have something to do."
When Zhao Shu said this, her expression was very indifferent, and the feeling of autumn sleepiness was particularly obvious, as if she hadn't slept well for hundreds of years.
Later, when Xiao Zhuzi learned that Master Xie actually asked Marshal Wei for benefits, she recalled her expression at this time, and realized that the county lord was angry.
In fact, before Zhao Shu made this decision, she didn't know that Xie Yun asked Wei Tingsi for benefits, she just felt that Xie Yun was transparent, the reason why Xie Jinse couldn't marry Wei Tingsi was because he secretly did something wrong, and Zhao Bi was active, Wei Tingsi hadn't come back yet, the prince was not in the capital, she couldn't give Zhao Bi a fatal blow, and if she wanted to contain him, Xie Yun was the best candidate.
Speaking of Xie Yun's benefits from Wei Tingsi, it is actually nothing, he just calculated that after the world is stable in the future, Wei Tingsi's status in the court will be transcendent, if he accidentally marries the prince's closest cousin, he doesn't know who it is, anyway, he subconsciously feels that this kid will take off in the future and fly to the sky, and Huo Baichuan has innovated and changed the law, limiting the power of the family, the Xie family will be much worse than before, and he has to find someone who can help the Xie family to marry.
Therefore, when Wei Tingsi received his letter, he laughed and replied with a pen, Xie Yun's hands trembled when he received the letter, but he was also very happy, fortunately, he was clever and knew that he couldn't let Xie Jinse marry, otherwise he would offend someone who shouldn't be offended, and he would have to hemorrhage again.
At this time, Xiao Zhuzi sent someone over to ask for a meeting, he listened to Zhao Shu's meaning, and hated it in his heart, now the princes are looking for a way out, and they are very busy, although he doesn't care, but he doesn't provoke, the princes have no real power, and they will be rich and noble in the future, and they won't end well. It's hard work, but it's not good to take it.
However, when he looked at Wei Tingsi's letter again, he accepted his fate, hey, he still offended someone who shouldn't be offended.
The next morning, behind the bead curtain, Zhang Chu said loudly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”
"Minister, something's wrong." Xie Yun stood up with Yuwat in his arms.
The Queen Mother was a little surprised, things have been going extremely smoothly recently, everyone's eyes are focused on the war, it stands to reason that Xie Yun will not have anything to do, but since he stood up, she also listened, "Come." ”
Xie Yun glanced at Qiu Zhishi and Yan Shiren, who were also surprised, these three people usually discussed it in advance when they had something to play, but the three of them had not discussed this matter.
organized the language and said: "Empress Dowager, the case of Huguo Temple a few days ago has not yet been sorted out, and the ministers ask for a thorough investigation." ”
King Xian is dead, and it is the vassal king who lent him troops, there is no doubt about it, most of the courtiers do not think that there should be a follow-up to this matter, and after sweeping away the vassal king, won't the case be closed?
However, after all, he was the only important minister in the dynasty who held real power, and most of them thought in their hearts that Lord Xie was reasonable, but he didn't know where the reason was.
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
After a while, the Queen Mother didn't know what her idea was, but the ministers felt that she understood Xie Yun's intentions, "In this case, Xie Qing will handle this matter." ”
After discussing the war and the reform of the law, the court retreated.
After the next court, Qiu Jishi and Yan Shiren surrounded him, "Lord Xie, what do you want to do today?" ”
"Hey, I've offended someone." Xie Yun didn't hide it, and said it with a bitter face.
Qiu Jishi and Yan Shiren glanced at each other, but still didn't understand, "I don't know who Lord Xie has offended?" ”
"Who else, it's not the Queen Mother's baby bump." Xie Yun didn't even care about his image, beating his chest and pretending to be pitiful.
"The Lord of the Monarchs? Xie Lao, let's listen to how you offended her. Qiu Ji thought of Zhao Shu as soon as he thought about it, and instinctively eliminated King Yong, King Yong was an honest man in his eyes, not a threat at all, only Zhao Shu, this woman was a tricky one.
Yan Shiren was also very curious, and the two of them held Xie Yun left and right, preventing him from slipping away.
Xie Yun glanced at the two of them and gritted his teeth, "Yipinju will talk about it." ”
As soon as the three of them were combined, they went to Yipinju, asked for a private room, served a pot of tea, and began to talk in detail, only to hear Xie Yun say: "A few days ago, the emperor gave marriage and married one of my granddaughters to Wei Tingsi as a concubine, you may not know that my granddaughter used to have a holiday with the queen mother's baby bump." ”
"What is the holiday?" Qiu Jishi immediately asked.
Xie Yun paused, with a look of disgust, do you still have the appearance of an important minister of the court? Such gossip is full of tongues.
"It's just a matter of my daughter's family, it's not worth mentioning, let's say that yesterday, I received a message from the lord of the monarch, saying that I wanted to find something to do for the princes, so I turned over the matter of the virtuous king, and found something to do for the princes, isn't it just to find something to do for the four princes? As soon as the fourth prince returned to Beijing, he made such a big fuss, and Junjun taught him a lesson. ”
Speaking of this, he deliberately mentioned, "I don't know if you have any news, it was originally planned that a daughter of the Wei family was chosen to be the crown princess, but she didn't expect to die, you are all optimistic about your own daughter, don't want to follow other people's ways." ”
Yan Shiren and Qiu Zhishi glanced at each other, and said that although the matter was secretly handled by the Wei Zhong family, they still had their own channels and were very well informed.
"Master Xie, you still have a son, let's be in-laws." Yan Shiren said that after returning to Beijing, he thought about marrying Yan Ruyu, but there was no suitable candidate.
asked, Xie Yun hurriedly shook his head, "No, no." "Can he know that Yan Shiren has that baby bump, he is a difficult lord to serve, he really entered his Xie family, and the Xie family can't jump chickens and dogs? Besides, looking at Yan Ruyu's admiration for Huo Baichuan, his son couldn't bear it.
Yan Shiren was immediately unhappy, "Looking at the capital, is there a better lady than my daughter?" ”
"Hey, I'm not happy about this, the little girl is not talented, but she is also dignified and virtuous, decent and generous." Qiu Jishi was immediately unhappy, and several people began to compare with their daughters.
As he spoke, he talked about Zhao Bi's marriage to a concubine, "The Queen Mother sent someone to the Yang family for a trip, guess what?" ”
"What else can I do, Lord Yang hates the four princes to death now, tsk, I don't know who the four princes have offended." Yan Shi endured.
Qiu Jishi shook his head, "You all think that this matter was caused by the four princes who offended people and was designed by others?" ”
"Kind of that, otherwise he'd be so stupid?" Yan Shiren expressed his doubts, with Zhao Bi's IQ, it was impossible for him to do such a passive thing.
Xie Yun and Qiu Zhishi glanced at each other, exchanged opinions, nodded to each other, and Qiu Zhishi said: "The safest place is the most dangerous place, if a smart person wants to fight against the water, the opposite may be a miracle." ”
"You mean to say that this matter was completely made up by the Four Princes themselves? What is he trying to do? Yan Shiren didn't think that putting himself on the cusp was a smart thing to do at this time.
Qiu Jishi shook his head, "Old Yan, you are confused, let's make an assumption, the fourth prince is the son of the imperial concubine, and the emperor likes the imperial concubine, he will favor the four princes, and it can be seen before that the emperor seems to intend to let the prince be the alchemy stone of the four princes. ”
"There is no evidence, no assertions." Yan Shiren believed emotionally, but reasoned but didn't believe it.
Qiu Jishi chuckled, "No need for evidence, we're just talking." ”
Xie Yun pondered for a moment and said: "The old man also knows a little bit about the events of the year, the Yang family is involved, King Duan and the four princes do have secret dealings, and King Jing, hmph, can no longer be obvious." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, if the fourth prince is really the son of the imperial concubine, there are advantages and disadvantages for him, the advantage is that the emperor reads the love of the imperial concubine and values him a little more, but now the imperial concubine herself is difficult to protect, and the emperor is criticized, which is more beneficial than disadvantageous, so he is bound to find a way out, the Gu family has no talent available, so he can only start with his in-laws, he married the daughter of the Sun family before, and he saw that he was about to get the help of the entire Sun family, but he never thought that the Sun family had a Sun Yun."
"His bamboo basket was empty, so he stretched out his hand to the Wei family, because Wei Caitao was missing, but someone didn't want him to harm the Wei family."
Qiu Ji began to analyze what he was thinking one by one, Xie Yun and Yan Shiren listened to it, and both nodded in agreement.
However, Yan Shiren suddenly looked at Xie Yun, "So, this person who doesn't want the fourth prince to harm the Wei family is the one you offended?" So, are you trying to keep the Wei family? ”
"If Marshal Wei gets the help of the Wei family, he will definitely be like a tiger in the future, and the power of the Wei family will be like the sky, and you and I can't compare." Yan Shiren said, it's not that he is jealous, his foundation is in Jiangnan, there is no need to compare with the capital.
"Hey, it's not, forget it, the old man has to find a way to save himself, old guys, take care of his own daughter, if the daughter of the Wei family doesn't succeed, he will beat the daughters of other families." Xie Yun gave his final advice and left Yipinju.
After he came out of Yipinju, he found a place where no one was around, turned around the sparsely populated alley, and went all the way to Sun's house.
He knew that Zhao Shu had returned to Beijing, otherwise Wei Tingsi's letter would not have let him ask Zhao Shu in person, the last time Zhao Shu went out of Beijing, he knew about it, if she was still by Wei Tingsi's side, Wei Tingsi would not say something like that.
Recently, I haven't heard that there is a master in Yongwang's mansion, and Zhao Shu's figure can't be found in the palace, so it can only be in Sun's house.
Let the porter deliver the word, and it won't be long before he is let in.
The arrival of Xie Yun made Sun Yun and Zhao Shu both raise their spirits, these old horsemen are not easy to deal with, which one is not crawling over, looking at the old dragon clock on weekdays, if you think they are old and dizzy, then you are wrong, these people are fine.
Zhao Shu didn't go to see Xie Yun, Sun Yun went, and as soon as he saw Sun Yun, Xie Yun asked, "Where is the monarch and the lord?" The old man made a special trip to see her. ”
Zhao Shu, who was hiding behind the screen, listened, and as soon as her eyes moved, she walked out from behind the screen, "What is Lord Xie looking for me?" ”
"Wei Shuai's letter, look at it." He didn't beat around the bush and handed the letter directly to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu took the letter, saw the content on it clearly, and glanced at Xie Yun coldly, "Lord Xie, just want to get married?" ”
At this time, Sun Yun had already ordered someone to serve tea, and the three of them sat down separately, listening to Zhao Shu's words, Sun Yun took the letter from her hand and looked at it, and smiled unkindly, "Lord Xie, people haven't married yet, you want to be in-laws, it's not suitable." ”
"What's inappropriate? Wei Shuai is not young, the county lord has also grown up, it is a matter of time before he gets married, besides, isn't it better to marry my Xie family than to marry other messy people? What's more, I can promise, whoever marries the daughter of Wei Shuai and the county lord will be the future head of the Xie family, if the daughter of the Xie family marries the Wei family, don't worry about the dowry, so sincere, the old man can take it, and it is good to marry two surnames, why is it inappropriate? ”
Sun Yunle was happy, "I've only heard of fingertips for marriage, but I've never heard of beating people and children before they get married." ”
Xie Yun also felt that he was a little excessive, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, he asked Wei Tingsi for the benefit of marriage at first, and he wanted the Xie family to marry the descendants of Wei Tingsi, after his death in the future, the Xie family can have someone to help him, so as not to fall, he no longer expects his son to be able to glorify his ancestors.
In fact, from the perspective of the head of the family, I also understand him, I have worried about the family all my life, and I am not at ease when I am old.
"County Lord?" Zhao Shu didn't speak, he was a little anxious, took out a piece of jade and stuffed it into Zhao Shu's hand, "You are thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed to say, the old man doesn't force you, in this way, this is a token, and the old man doesn't say it, the old man promises, Xie Jiazi, is definitely worthy of your children." ”
After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Zhao Shu would regret it, so he ran away, and the unkind Sun Yun looked at his back and laughed crookedly.
"Ah Jun, you haven't even gotten married yet, Lord Xie wants to be a family member with you, it seems that you have to work harder."
Zhao Shu glanced at her, put away the jade pendant, and if she didn't say anything else, she would not refuse Xie Yun's promise, Xie Yun was not the same as Yang Zhong's generation, he was an old man with good conduct, he saw things clearly, and he was worth befriending.
What's more, if you receive a jade pendant, you don't have to get married, you have a good spare tire, why not?
"Let's continue to talk about white camellia, this article has been revealed." Zhao Shu took a sip of tea and did not continue the topic of marriage. (To be continued.) )
