Chapter 66 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
Hey, there are no cute people who give tickets, tomorrow depends on your sincerity~
------Off topic------
Wu Quan was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head in understanding, "Yes, the old slave will go!" ”
The emperor thought about it, snorted coldly, and ordered, "You go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, pass on my message, and let her enter the palace to visit Qin Zheng." ”
Wu Quan sighed and said a little pitifully, "Second Prince Zheng this time, it really hurt his muscles and bones, and the injury was too serious." I can't get out of bed today, I pity the princess, I feel so distressed like something, but the second son of Zheng is not close to women, and even the palace maid is not allowed to be next to him. The princess had no choice but to wait for him undressed. ”
"How is Qin Zheng?" The emperor thought about Xie Fanghua's affairs, and then he thought of Qin Zheng.
Wu Quan nodded.
The emperor's face was slightly relaxed, "At night, send someone to Xie Fanghua's study to check!" See what she's up to! ”
Wu Quan was taken aback, "Oh, your majesty, don't scare the minions." If the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion wants to rebel, it will not make such a move, and only recruits the clansmen of the Xie clan. The rest didn't move. What's the opposite? The sign is wrong. ”
"Could it be that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion wants to rebel?" The emperor's face turned blue when he thought of this.
"There is no doubt that Xie Shizi has indeed left. Cui Yizhi followed. Wu Quan saw that the emperor's face was ugly, and suggested, "Your Majesty, if you don't do this, send some hidden guards to secretly investigate and see if you can find out anything." ”
"Xie Mohan has gone to Linfen Town now, but he can see clearly, he is undoubtedly the one who went out of the city? Cui Yizhi also followed? The Emperor's brow was knotted.
Wu Quan shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it, the daily affairs of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion have been told to you exactly what's going on." If you talk about the major event of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, it is that Xie Shizi will give the general affairs to Miss Fanghua. ”
"These days, what's wrong with the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion?" The emperor asked again.
Wu Quan shook his head, "No! ”
"A woman taking care of the housework?" The emperor's face was cold, "Apart from these, there is no news?" ”
Wu Quan lowered his head, "Those people have entered the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion one after another, and the Zhongyong Marquis has ordered people to settle them one by one, and the courtyards are all full, and they are all very proper, it seems that they will live for a few days." Miss Fanghua didn't show up, and it was said that she was staying in the study with Yunlan Gongzi. ”
"Huh?" The emperor's eyebrows tightened.
Wu Quan shook his head, "When I returned to the emperor, I sent a lot of people to inquire, but I only said that it was because Miss Fanghua took over the affairs of the Xie family, and I couldn't inquire about the rest." ”
The emperor immediately frowned and asked Wu Quan beside him, "What is the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion doing?" ”
Secondly, the major mansions in the capital have also received news.
First of all, naturally he couldn't hide the person sitting on the Jinluan Hall in the palace.
The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion summoned the whole clan to make such a big move, it was impossible to hide it from someone with a heart.
That night, these people could not sleep well.
Many people ran to Xie's uncle in the salt warehouse to inquire and surrounded him, but unfortunately he didn't know about it, and he didn't know about it.
Not only did Xie Fanghua's face not appear, but Xie Yunlan's face also did not appear.
However, on this day, Xie Fanghua's face did not appear.
It is precisely because these people can't guess Xie Fanghua that the loyal and brave marquis is tight-mouthed and doesn't reveal half a word, which makes them more and more concerned about it. In particular, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has prepared all the rooms, everything is available, and everyone is shocked when they look like they are going to live permanently.
If you talk about the average boudoir daughter, these people take one out to intimidate one person, no one will care, although this era is tolerant of women, the women of the family know how to learn etiquette, there are female teachers, female staff officers, but there are still very few. But Xie Fanghua is not an ordinary boudoir daughter, in the past six months, there is no shortage of smart people in the Xie family, and they all faintly feel that she is extraordinary and dare not underestimate her.
How much action can she have in a daughter's house?
These hundreds of people, including the patriarch of the Xie clan, were all worried in their hearts, and they were extremely uncertain, and they couldn't figure out what the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion would do now to summon almost the entire clan. There is a faint guess that Miss Fanghua is in charge of general affairs, is there a big move? But what is this big move?
Marquis Zhongyong didn't reveal his meaning first, but just gathered in the lobby with these people, chatted lively for an hour, and then ordered the servant to place the people one by one.
Marquis Zhongyong looked at the main figures of these clans who came in the heavy rain, there were hundreds of people, and he sighed again, other families, the main figures, there are only dozens of people, and there are more than 100 people. But in the Xie family, it is worth a few big families, and the Xie family is really too big.
Obviously, Xie Mohan went out to build the Linfen Bridge and handed over the Xie family's general affairs to Xie Fanghua, and everyone who should know about it knew about the Xie family.
During this period, Xie Fanghua misexpected the speed of those people coming to the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, it was only half a day, and by noon, the central side of the capital was a hundred miles away, and all the leading people of the Xie family, except for the Xie family's long house and no one came except for the Xie family's long house and was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, they all came in a hurry, and none of them were left behind. The rest of the people who were farther away also sent letters, saying that they would arrive at noon the next day.
The two discussed for a whole day before they came up with a set of plans, although they were not very detailed, but they were clear enough.
Since it is necessary to divide it, to divide it thoroughly, to shock the world, and to pass the clear path of witnesses, then it is not just about talking, not only about dividing people, but also about these farmers and businessmen, and they must also divide it as appropriate. in order to make people see clearly.
Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan arrived at the study and discussed it carefully.
Cui Yun saw that the Marquis of Zhongyong was in a bad mood, and smiled and accompanied him to talk about the interesting things in the border army, the Marquis of Zhongyong had been a horse for most of his life, and he still had a very deep thought about his career in the army.
Marquis Zhongyong didn't seem to want to see Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan again at this time, and he had no objection to the two leaving.
Xie Yunlan nodded.
"After these people came, grandpa talked to them and ordered someone to settle them!" Xie Fanghua stood up and said a word to Marquis Zhongyong, and without waiting for him to answer, he said to Xie Yunlan, "Brother Yunlan, let's go to the study first, and we must also divide those things well." ”
"Yes!" When the waiter heard this, he took the list and went.
"If you can't catch it today, you have to send a letter to it, and you can arrive tomorrow and the day after." Xie Fanghua said, "Except for those who don't want to come." At most, by noon tomorrow, tell them that they will not wait. ”
"Yes, Miss!" The waiter took the list and glanced at it, they were all the main figures of the Xie family, and he knew that there was going to be a big event, so he said respectfully, "Some people are remote, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up today." ”
Xie Fanghua handed him the prepared list and instructed him, "You take this list and invite all the people in the list to me today, just say that the old marquis has an invitation, about general affairs." Whoever asks the rest, don't say a word. Even if it's the patriarch and the uncle of the Xie clan's salt warehouse. ”
After a short time, the waiter came to the outer room and respectfully saluted.
Cui Yun also sighed with emotion.
Zhongyong Hou watched Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan sing together, and blew his beard and scolded twice, "Old and old!" ”
"Yes!" The waiter and the waiter answered the call outside, and went with an umbrella.
When Xie Fanghua heard this, he shouted, "Go and call the servant to come over!" ”
Xie Yunlan nodded with a smile, "I also have this intention, even if the emperor pays attention to the Xie family every day, if we want to hide the news for a few days, it will not be difficult." ”
"If the news is revealed, it is not today, nor now, at least let him know about this matter after six or seven minutes. Otherwise, how can it be turned upside down! If I want this to happen, I can't let him reach out to me to stir things up. Xie Fanghua said to Xie Yunlan, "Brother Yunlan, what do you say, I invited those people to come today, don't leave the mansion before the matter is completed, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is so big, there are many places, let them stay for a few days." ”
"How can it be that the slightest hint of wind can't be revealed? The emperor is staring at our Xie family's every move. I'm afraid that you will invite someone to come on the front foot, and after these people leave the house, they will be able to get the news in the palace on the back foot. Zhongyong Hou shook his head and waved his hand irritably, "Anyway, I'm not afraid to show it and let him know, it's just a little troublesome, go ahead!" ”
Xie Fanghua suddenly smiled, "Then I will send someone to invite those people over today, with you in charge, the sooner this matter is, the better!" I just wanted to catch him off guard! Before the deed is completed, the slightest wind cannot be revealed! ”
After hearing this, the Marquis of Zhongyong suddenly gritted his teeth and slapped the table, "Divide it!" Anyway, the surname Xie is still the surname Xie. ”
"Old Marquis, I'll say something too." Cui Yun didn't speak, and at this time Fang said, "As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. It is rare that Hua Yatou and Yunlan can be in the mountains and know the situation in the middle of the game. Although this bottom of the kettle is a bit decisive, it can shock the person above. Even the Xie family couldn't think of it, and they were shocked, let alone the person in the palace. People are there, life is there, and the root is there. If there is no one in the future, then it is useless to keep the reputation of a family with an empty shell. ”
Xie Yunlan saw that the fire was almost over, so he waited quietly and stopped talking.
Xie Fanghua knew that although the old man was old, he was still not confused, and looking at his current appearance, he was also extremely clear, but he still couldn't get over the hurdles in his heart.
Marquis Zhongyong fell silent again, and this time he didn't hum anymore.
Xie Yunlan smiled and continued, "Our Xie clan lineage, which has flourished to the present, cannot be one step closer. As the saying goes, prosperity must decline. The emperor has now regarded the Xie family as a must to get rid of future troubles, so throughout the ages, the things that cannot be done by the clans and clans can only be done by the Xie family. As Fanghua said, one day, no one in the world dares to take the surname Xie! Instead of being lukewarm, it is better to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. ”
Marquis Zhongyong snorted.
Xie Yunlan chuckled lightly and said gently, "This matter is a big deal, although I support Fanghua and feel that she is right to do this." But I still want your old man to nod. We are juniors, and we don't know how many bends we have to do to do this. ”
Xie Fanghua choked.
"You bastard, the daughter of the Xie family is blessed to have you, and it is also a curse to have you!" Marquis Zhongyong scolded angrily, "Didn't you say that I made up my mind to disagree with you? What are you waiting for my words for? ”
After another tea time, Xie Fanghua saw that the Marquis of Zhongyong still didn't spit out, and became impatient, "Whether you agree or not, you have something to say!" I've been drinking tea for almost an hour, and I've been filled with water. ”
But if you can't pass the grandfather level, then the Xie clan patriarch will be even more difficult. After all, he controls the genealogy, clan field, and clan science, the benchmark of the entire Xie family.
Xie Fanghua looked at the Marquis of Zhongyong, she could understand the mood of her grandfather, who had always supported the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, that is, the entire Xie family, the foundation left by the ancestors, and the heritage of the Xie family for hundreds of thousands of years. There is only one clan and one clan, so the Xie clan is equivalent to being scattered. This is to break the support of his life, how can he feel good?
The Marquis of Zhongyong fell silent again.
Xie Fanghua made persistent efforts, "Although it is said that it is divided into clans, clans, families, and houses...... Everything, but that's in plain sight. What about the dark places, who can tell! After a pause, she took a dose of fierce medicine, "Even if the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, my brother and I can't protect it, and if it falls down one day, it will only implicate the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and can't implicate others, and vice versa." ”
The body of the Marquis of Zhongyong shook.
Xie Fanghua saw that his temples were pale, and he couldn't bear to be angry with him anymore, so he sighed, "Grandpa, if you keep interrupting, you will leave trouble!" What you can't be soft on, you must not be soft. You are old, you can't be confused, there are tens of thousands of people with the surname Xie, and you don't want to one day in the future, no one in this world dares to have the surname Xie! ”
The Marquis of Zhongyong is choked again.
"This is our Xie family's business, what else can he not help it." Xie Fanghua said casually, "You, the patriarch, the Xie family's rice grain, the Xie family's salt warehouse, and the Xie family's houses, the chief uncles will hand over the folds together, and we, the Xie family, will come to petition the people ourselves." Voluntary separation. Even if he doesn't agree, can he still live up to the people's wishes? ”
The green tendons on the forehead of the Marquis of Zhongyong jumped, "Your Majesty, will you do this?" You're obviously ......."
"The consequences?" Xie Fanghua disagreed, "What consequences?" ”
Zhongyonghou jumped to his feet angrily, "Stinky girl, bastard, if you go out with this hand, I'm afraid you will be turned over this day." Have you thought about the consequences? ”
"That's what I'm going to do! If you agree, you have to agree, and if you don't, you have to agree! Xie Fanghua saw that Marquis Zhongyong was glaring at her, and she didn't have a good face, "There is no turning back when you open the bow!" ”
The loyal and brave marquis choked.
When the words fell, she put down the teacup and snorted coldly, "You are just too soft-hearted!" The emperor swallowed most of Xie's rice grain, and then he didn't know how to feed himself, so he had to wait for the day when he swallowed the entire Xie family? Is it possible to send the heads of tens of thousands of our Xie descendants to the guillotine for him? ”
Xie Fanghua was annoyed when he heard this, and glared at Zhongyong Hou, "Grandpa! What's the matter with Brother Yunlan? What do you complain about him? I had the idea for a long time! At the beginning, Brother Yun Lan was still in Pingyang City, I hadn't seen him at that time, on Chinese New Year's Eve, I saw Brother Yun Ji, so I asked him to help me do this, he is now missing, just a beginning. ”
Zhongyong Hou has always been kind to Xie Yunlan, but when he heard him speak like this today, he snorted coldly and said angrily, "It's really good for you to assist her in taking care of her affairs." It's only been two days of work for her to wring out such an idea! ”
Xie Yunlan smiled, "I listen to Fanghua!" ”
"You've got it figured? Do you have to do it? Zhongyong Hou stared at Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan.
Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan glanced at each other and didn't speak.
Cui Yun also came back to his senses, glanced at the Marquis of Zhongyong, looked at himself again, and sighed, "The old marquis is right!" Don't say you're old, even I'm old! The future is the world of young people! ”
Marquis Zhongyong was silent for half an hour before he looked at Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan, one of them was leisurely sipping tea, and the other was elegantly dividing tea to make tea. He looked at it for a while and sighed, "Old! ”
Since Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan explained this matter, there was silence in Rongfu Hall for a while.
If the emperor in the palace heard that the Xie clan was divided, I don't know how he would feel, it was really unimaginable!
The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion will be one door and one go, and without the clan relatives who are close to him, it will not be considered a big clan!
Once this is divided, the family will be gone!
But no matter how critical it is, it will not reach the point where everything is divided into clans and clans!
Xie Shi has indeed reached a critical juncture!
Why did the emperor want to get rid of the Xie family? People all over the world who have brains clearly understand that it is precisely because the Xie family is too big that the Xie family has produced many talents, not only in civil and martial arts, but also in businessmen and workers. Shinong Industry and Commerce, holding the lifeblood of Southern Qin, stuck in the throat of imperial power. The emperor had difficulty sleeping and eating, for fear that one day, even the imperial power would not be able to balance the Xie family and threaten the Southern Qin River.
If it is divided, then is the Xie family still the Xie family?
Since ancient times, the family is the most taboo to divide the clan and divide the clan and other things, especially the Xie family, there are many heirs, intertwined, tens of thousands of side branches, since the establishment of the Southern Qin Dynasty, the Wang family in order to assist the imperial power declined, the Xie family entered the WTO, not to mention the entire Southern Qin, even the Northern Qi is counted, under the whole world, the Xie family is the first deserved, and the royal family does not have the heritage of the Xie family.
Cui Yun sat on the side, since Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan said their arrangements and plans for the Xie family's future, they were shocked and looked at Xie Fanghua in disbelief.
Xie Yunlan was not in a hurry, he also sat on the chair, and when he saw that the tea in Xie Fanghua's cup was empty, he personally poured it for her.
Xie Fanghua was not in a hurry, sitting on a chair, sipping tea, and waiting slowly.
After listening to the thoughts of the two, the Marquis of Zhongyong was silent for a long time.
On the same day, after Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan agreed on the idea, they went to Rongfutang together to find the Marquis of Zhongyong.
