236. The Family and the Country
"Grandma, no matter who the emperor wants to marry Wei'er, it is not good for the Tang family, this is completely to keep the Tang family on the cusp of the storm, so that the father can not remain neutral, so that the situation in the court that seems to be clear will be chaotic because of this, not to mention, the people involved are also the county lord of Wanfu, behind her is the eldest princess's mansion," This skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention, the horse is not the point, the eldest princess is the one who controls the princess's mansion.
A woman can live in a simple house to protect the eldest princess's mansion, and she can stand tall, and it is impossible to rely on her identity alone.
In the capital, there will be people with distinguished status falling at any time every day, this change of dynasty, the eldest princess's mansion has not fallen, it can be seen that the hidden power behind her will definitely not be small.
If this matter was done by the imperial concubine, it proves that her ambition is so big that she wants to rebel. In order to support her son to snatch the position of the crown prince, she has done everything she can to win over the power of King Jin. And if this matter is fueled by the queen behind the scenes, then what palace is Tang Wei and the county lord Wanfu going to enter?
Is it the Prince's Mansion or the Jin Palace? Anyway, no matter who it was, she wouldn't let Tang Wei and the county lord of Wanfu enter the Prince's Mansion or the Jin Palace.
The prince has no atmosphere, King Jin is too scheming, no matter what palace he enters, the final result will definitely not be good.
The old lady glanced at Jinxuan, who was full of anxiety, and suddenly said loudly: "Xuan'er, this matter, you go and discuss it with your father, he is ...... in the study," she has no way to make any decisions when she participates in the affairs of the imperial court.
She can still give some opinions on the affairs of the inner house, but what is involved is the pull of forces, so she can't make a decision.
"Sister, Wei'er don't get married," Tang Wei is not a stupid person, and after being raised by the old lady these days, she also has some understanding of those sensitive things, knowing that no matter how she enters that palace, she will definitely not have a good life, so she immediately shouted with some emotion, and her eyes were red.
"Wei'er," Aunt Lan hugged her worriedly, uneasy in her heart.
Finally, now the life is better, and the Wang family is not involved in Wei'er's marriage, she is looking forward to Wei'er being as calm and happy as Yuan'er, but she didn't expect Wei'er to be remembered by others, and she has become a tool to use, and her heart is full of fear - in her heart, no one can confront the emperor and queen, and if she resists, it is a capital crime!
She is doing well now, and she doesn't want to harm the entire Tang family because Wei'er alone, because the old lady and her grandfather are very important people in her life.
"Don't worry, my sister will figure it out!" Tang Yuan reached out to hold her trembling little hand on the side, and couldn't bear to comfort her.
She is now accustomed to this kind of warm and quiet life, and she really doesn't want the Tang family to live that kind of miserable life again. With the current days, she recalled the days when she fought with Lin Wanqing and Tang Jinxuan in the past, and felt that it was all a matter of her previous life.
Now, everyone in the Tang family is accustomed to this kind of tranquility, and she knows that her sister will definitely do her best to protect it.
"Sister Yuan......," Tang Wei looked at her helplessly, her eyes were red, and she couldn't even cry.
Seeing Tang Wei like this, Tang Jinxuan also wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know if she could change this matter, so she could only silently bear the powerlessness in her heart and said, "I'll go to my father and see what he decides!" ”
"Don't worry, your sister will find a way, otherwise she won't come here as soon as she gets the news," the old lady said kindly when she saw Tang Wei looking at Jinxuan's departing back with her eyes.
"Yes, your sister loves you the most, you should believe her!" Aunt Qin couldn't bear to look at Tang Wei like this.
Here, everyone's mood is depressed, and over there, Jinxuan is standing at the door of the study, feeling uneasy, because she doesn't know how long she hasn't entered her father's study.
How long has it been?
It seems that I haven't been in it since I was reborn. However, in her previous life, when she was most loved by her father, she would go into the study every day to make trouble, and her father was never angry, but would only pretend to be angry and complain to her mother, and her tone was full of doting.
It was full of good memories, but she was a little timid.
"Miss?" As soon as the person who came out of the study saw the person standing at the door, he subconsciously shouted, and then remembered that her identity was different from before, so he immediately wanted to kneel down and say goodbye, but was stopped by Jinxuan.
"At home, no need to be polite, is my father inside?" They are all old people in the house, and they grew up watching her.
"Yes, the lord is inside," the old man didn't know how happy he was to see that the eldest lady had finally come to visit the lord.
Tang Tingyu inside heard Tang Jinxuan's voice, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he put away the circle on the table, and the figure on it turned out to be the Chen ...... when he was young.
"Xuan'er, come in!" This study has a limit for everyone, but there is no obstacle for her.
"Father," Jin Xuan's heart was touched, and she walked in, looking at her father, who had some gray hair on her temples, and suddenly felt as if they had never been estranged from each other.
"What's going on today? Is the child okay? Tang Tingyu's expression was very natural, and the deep concern was not hidden, as if he had always been like this.
Jinxuan knew the deep meaning of his words, nodded and said, "It's all good," what my father wanted to know more should be Nian'er, it was his biological son, but he was so old, his father had never seen him.
Although he tried his best to condense the rustiness in the middle, after all, time had passed, and it was impossible to pretend that it didn't exist, and a simple answer made the room suddenly quiet.
"Father," Jinxuan took the initiative to break the silence and said the meaning of today's visit, "Grandma said that she can't be the master, please make a decision!" ”
Tang Tingyu didn't expect Jinxuan to throw such a problem to herself as soon as she came, so she sighed heavily and said softly: "Xuan'er, do you know why your father chose to protect you like this in the first place, and you don't want to leave the capital?" ”
"I don't know," to be honest, she didn't know what was going on in her father's mind.
"It's not that my father covets the glory and riches, but ...... The Tang family can't leave the capital," Speaking of this, Tang Tingyu's eyes showed a trace of confusion, thinking about what he had done for so many years, whether it was right or wrong.
Isn't it his sorrow to lose the woman he loves the most, to make his most painful daughter a stranger to him, and not even to know that he has a son who has grown up?
"Why?" Such an explanation was something that Jinxuan had never thought of, and she even suspected that her father didn't want to leave these glory and wealth, but she didn't expect the Tang family to have such a choice, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Xuan'er, there are many things, my father thinks you are just a child and can't tell you...... But now that you've become a mother and have a noble status, it's time to tell you something and think about how to decide! Looking at his daughter, who has grown up unconsciously, he has too many complicated emotions in his heart.
He wanted to fight all the troubles and burdens for her, and only hoped that she could be peaceful and happy - but in the end he couldn't do anything.
"Father, tell me first, why can't the Tang family leave the capital - is it that everyone can't leave?" The only people who gave such orders were royal people.
"No, every head of the Tang family can't leave the capital, and as for other people, there is no limit," Tang Tingyu asked her to sit down, and then said a little helplessly: "The queen and the imperial concubine have always hated me for being neutral and not supporting their side, but I don't know that the Tang family can't participate in any ...... of the imperial heir competition,"
What she heard today was even more surprising than what the old lady told her at the beginning, and Jinxuan didn't know how to ask.
She was just here to settle Wei'er's family affairs, how did she encounter such a thing?
Tang family, is it really as simple as it seems?
Tang Tingyu saw that she was silent, only looking at herself with a pair of clear eyes, so he continued to explain: "Your grandmother told you at the beginning that the eldest princess gave you the jade pendant of the marriage is related to the situation in the entire capital, and the other piece is in whose hands, even I don't know, but the queen and others have been guessing that the jade pendant is in the Tang family, after all, your grandfather was the most trusted person of the emperor,"
"Is that why my father can't move?" Knowing that people are approaching with a purpose but there is no way, waiting to be killed, not even a trace of struggle, it is too sad to live like this.
"No, Xuan'er, after your grandfather knew that secret, the first emperor issued a secret edict that the Tang family must not leave the capital, otherwise the nine clans will be exterminated, and they will not be able to mix with any prince to seize the throne, lest they lose their fairness because of their involvement and help someone who should not be helped," This is why the Tang family is passive everywhere but cannot take the initiative to leave.
If he could, he would rather leave with his family and go back to the Tang family's hometown.
At least then, the people of the Tang family will be safe, and the woman they love the most will not die.
Jinxuan's mood is quite complicated, she never thought that the simple Tang family would hide so many secrets, with it, and such a burden, who is to blame for this matter?
Blame the emperor, blame the grandfather, blame the father, it seems that no one is really at fault, and the blame can only be blamed on those who have ambitions but do not compromise the means.
"Father, do you know whose hand the other jade pendant is?" This is the key, if you can find that jade pendant, it is equivalent to controlling the situation in the entire capital.
"I don't know," Tang Tingyu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have worked hard for my father all these years, but I still don't know the existence of another jade pendant, so the queen thinks that the jade pendant is in the Tang family." Coupled with the jade pendant that the eldest princess gave to your mother, the Tang family is on the cusp of the storm. ”
Thinking that all these disputes originated from the jade pendant given by the eldest princess, she asked a little irritably: "Doesn't the eldest princess know the role of this jade pendant?" "Such a sensitive thing, she can take it out so calmly, does she think that the Tang family is not messy enough?
"I shouldn't know ......," Tang Tingyu's answer was very weak, because he couldn't question the eldest princess, so he could only guess like this.
Jinxuan also knew that she was embarrassed by asking him like this, so she pursed her lips, held back the anger in her heart, and asked about what she brought today. "Father, what should I do about Vier? If the holy decree is issued and Wei'er has to enter the palace, then the final result is that the Tang family does not help, and she will only have a dead end! ”
People should think not only of the Tang family, but also of the Yunwang Mansion. Who made her feel the most distressed about this sister-in-law, if something happened to Tang Wei, she would definitely help, and she would also pull Yunwangfu into this dispute in disguise.
This planner has such a big heart and such a clever means!
"That's fate, no one can resist it!" Tang Tingyu said a little helplessly.
"What is called fate, I don't believe in fate," if he wasn't always so passive, he wouldn't have let his mother die like this, and he always had love and hate in his heart. "Father, Wei'er's family affairs must be decided as soon as possible, if there is no suitable candidate, Wei'er will be sent away - she is just a concubine, leaving the capital, she will not break her grandfather's promise to the emperor!"
"It's simple to send Wei'er away, I'm afraid that my father will work hard, and in the end I have to obediently let Wei'er come back," Eyeing Wei'er, is it so easy to change?
If it could be changed, the Tang family would not have been so low-key for so many years.
"So what to do?" Jinxuan was furious.
Tang Tingyu looked at her daughter who was angry in front of her, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said lightly: "Yuan'er's family affairs are decided by you, and it is natural for you to decide this Wei'er's family affairs, isn't it?" "In this way, she looks like a daughter, no longer serious, but shows real emotions.
"Huh!" Jinxuan was depressed. After talking for a long time, I still came back.
Forget it, it's not a way, anyway, as long as the Wang family is not involved, the Tang family has always been low-key. Fortunately, these days, she still secretly finds candidates for Wei'er, and there are a few good ones, and it's okay to choose one, and she has set up a family affair for Wei'er as soon as possible, maybe she can turn around.
"Xuan'er, the situation in the capital seems to be calm now, but it is actually already in turmoil, you and King Yun have to think about how to go in the future, your father doesn't want you to be like your mother, you must live your own life and protect what you want, you know?" In fact, he didn't want King Yun to become the emperor from the bottom of his heart, in that case, Jinxuan would be hurt a lot, even if she became the queen, her life would not be good.
At the beginning, how favored King Yun's mother was, in the end, it was still dust, if she hadn't left a son, maybe the emperor would have forgotten who she was.
For the first time in so many years, she felt her father's care, which made Jinxuan coax her eyes all of a sudden. She knew a little in her heart that her father and mother had so much, just to protect her and Nian'er, but this kind of dedication made her heartache.
A country is a country, a home is a family, so why should it be mixed together?
As long as they are mixed together, the loser will definitely be the family, because the family is not as important as the country.
