913 Marry or Break Up
Now, he didn't want to hide it anymore, so he simply made it clear.
According to his plan, the most perfect way to marry is still: Xia Lili is "sensible" to marry the top magnates, expand the network for the Xia family, and help Liuxue to achieve things to the greatest extent!
However, Xia Lili still did not marry Liuxue, and even persuaded her parents to complete her marriage, Tao Li Hou has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he also knows how to fight for the greatest interests for himself, so he changed his mind that he did not want his daughter to marry Liuxue, and at the same time won over the people in the clan to support him.
In the entire Xia clan, the highest title is the Marquis of Taoli, and his opinion is also in line with the interests of his own clan, so there are many people in the clan who are on his side, and even want to achieve this family business than him.
"Let's help Prince Xing do things, sooner or later we will offend the emperor, this is a troublesome thing! If Prince Xing doesn't give us a guarantee, why are we so desperate? This is their point of view and demand.
No matter how much Xia Wusheng persuaded him, he couldn't convince these people to change their minds.
In the eyes of these people, only if Prince Xing marries a woman from the Xia family as a concubine, and the fate of the two parties is completely tied together, can the interests of the Xia family be protected.
Faced with the contradictions and divisions that are likely to occur within the Xia clan, Xia Wusheng thought about it repeatedly for a long time, and finally compromised.
As soon as Xia Lili Fei Qiu Guhan didn't marry, the idea of not marrying was really persistent, and it was impossible to persuade her to marry someone else, forcing her to be anxious, and she committed suicide or went crazy again, so she wasted such an excellent chess piece in vain.
Second, the group of clansmen led by Tao Li Hou has already made up their minds, if this matter does not come to fruition, the Xia clan will have civil strife.
Compared to Autumn Night String, Liuxue is already at a disadvantage, if his side is not united, how can it be done?
Thirdly, Xia Lili marrying Qiu Guhan is indeed an excellent way to contain Qiu Guhan, if Qiu Guhan succeeds in the future, Xia Lili will be the queen, and Xia Lili's son will be the prince, so that the Xia family can ascend to the sky in one step, and no clan can reach it.
Otherwise, once Qiu Guhan succeeds, if he wants to set up another Xia family woman, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!
Thinking of all this, he agreed to support Taoli Hou, and took Taoli Hou and others here, and asked Prince Xing to come to talk.
Qiu Guhan's gaze moved from Xia Muze's face to Xia Wusheng's face, and asked calmly: "What if this king refuses to accept it?" ”
Xia Wusheng said: "Lord, it's just a betrothal first, why shouldn't this be for you?" ”
Qiu Guhan spit out a few words: "This king is not, happy, happy like this." ”
Xia Wusheng's eyes sank, and he wanted to reprimand him.
But Xia Muze had already spoken first: "Lord Wang, this is the only request of Ben Hou, if the prince does not agree, Ben Hou will not participate in the prince's plan." ”
After Lili returned home, she looked indeed mature and steady, not crying, not making trouble, not resenting, not going on a hunger strike, but just greeted them very gently and decently, and listened to their nagging very patiently.
Then they talked about her marriage and continued to persuade her to marry Ji Linfeng, but she smiled and said: "Father, mother, Ji Linfeng's background and conditions are so good, but after so many years, he is still just an earl, can he surpass Prince Xing in the future?" ”
He was stunned for a moment and said, "But Linfeng has a deep affection for you, and he will never treat you badly......"
"Are feelings important?" The daughter smiled, "Interests are the most important thing, right?" Father and mother, please think about it, which one is more promising compared to the young prince of pure blood or the Count of the Pang branch of the Ji clan? Who does the daughter marry to bring more benefits to the Hou Mansion? ”
He and his wife were silent.
Qiu Liuxue was able to go from a down-and-out prince with nothing to a prince who is now famous and well-connected in just a few years, and his strength and future are obvious to all.
As for "feelings", what is compared to power and status?
And what her daughter really loves is obviously autumn snow.
"And," the daughter said again when they hesitated, "Father, Mother, haven't you seen yet, Liuxue doesn't want to go to the next level, but—"
She pointed upwards and said, "The highest place." ”
He was a shock to his body back then. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about this possibility, but he didn't dare to think about it. Unexpectedly, my daughter said it so clearly.
"Father and mother," the daughter asked them calmly, "if you can find a better son-in-law than Liuxue, then I will definitely marry!" If you are willing to cheapen other people's daughters, let other people's daughters and grandchildren sit on the highest place, and you can only prostrate and look up, then I have nothing to say, just marry as you want! ”
He was moved.
"Father and mother, I must warn you," added the daughter, "do not think of reaping the harvest! If Liuxue marries another woman, when she succeeds, her wife will not let the power fall! And you've already betrayed Liuxue once, do you still think that he will reuse you after he achieves great things? ”
His face changed slightly.
In fact, after Qiu Liuxue returned to Beijing, he never took the initiative to contact Houfu, let alone show the slightest intention of friendship, if it wasn't for Xia Wusheng's maneuvering, Qiu Liuxue might not have ignored Houfu at all.
He is now thinking about watching from the wall, and then staining it after the autumn snow has become a great cause, who is the autumn snow, how can he let him succeed?
"Also," the daughter continued to say slowly, "The daughter's age is not too young, and when Liuxue becomes a success, her daughter will also be an old girl, do you think Liuxue at that time will still be willing to marry me or accept me?" And at that time, do you think you can still force Liuxue to marry me? ”
He was completely speechless.
He wants his daughter to become a "princess" or "princess" or "queen", and he really only has this opportunity now.
The daughter also carefully analyzed Liuxue's talents, conditions and future to him, and confidently told them: "Father and mother, Liuxue is likely to succeed, just for the sake of this forty percent possibility, we are worth betting!" If you don't dare to bet, our house may only be the Hou Mansion in this life! Oh, by the way, if Liuxue fails, the emperor probably won't let go of the Xia family, and you don't want to protect yourself. ”
When his face changed greatly, his daughter said again: "In fact, even if Liuxue doesn't fight, the emperor will always suppress Liuxue and the Xia family, and our family will not have a bright future, so it's better to bet on Liuxue, at least you can get a prince and son-in-law." ”
When his daughter talked about this, he was finally moved and agreed with his daughter's opinion.
So he found Xia Wusheng and made his intentions clear, and his attitude was very tough.
After Xia Wusheng persuaded him to no avail, he finally said that he would help him convince Liuxue.
He negotiated with Qiu Liuxue this time, and his attitude was very firm, "either marry his daughter, or the two sides break up", there is absolutely no third way.
If he breaks up with Qiu Liuxue, the Xia clan will inevitably divide within the Xia clan, and the divided Xia clan will not be able to help Qiu Liuxue a lot - he bets that Qiu Liuxue can't do without the support of the Xia clan, and he bets that Qiu Liuxue can't break off his friendship with him because of family problems!
In the face of his toughness and determination, Qiu Guhan's eyes were very cold: "It's better for this king to persuade the marquis to change his mind." ”
