When Jiang heard this, he didn't answer directly, but said with a pleasant face: "We are all our own blood and bones, why do we have to see the outside like this?" But as much as you can, let alone a reluctant invitation, even if it is not good to say to outsiders, can your family still try to make you get your wish? ”

This sounds affectionate, but the meaning of the words is: It's easy to say what you can, if it's something difficult, then don't think about it.

After all, this is only her nephew, not her own son.

Even if it was his own son, if he dared to make some foolish requests, the Jiang family would definitely ignore it.

"Aunt Xie." Xie Wuzheng thanked him and said, "My nephew is wondering, will the real culprit behind the murder of His Highness be related to the Zheng family?" ”

"Zheng?" The Jiang family groaned, Xie Wuzheng invited the guilty prince to come over, and asked himself to help urge Yun Fenghuan in the palace to seek justice for Sui'an, and it was the kind of justice that was converted into taking care of Xie Wuzheng's career, which was something she expected.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been reluctant to fill her talk.

The matter of the three corpse insects, how many nobles were involved before, and even the empress dowager was only picked out after Chunjia personally spoke.

The water is so deep, how can she be willing to go rashly?

After thinking about it for a moment at this moment, he said, "The concubine has a little holiday with the former concubine from the Zheng family, but the Zheng family has always been interested in it, and voted for Your Majesty early, otherwise, Your Majesty would not have married the eldest princess of Yun'an to their children." In the past two years, I don't seem to have heard of their place against the concubine...... How could he do such a poisonous act to His Royal Highness Sui'an? ”

"That's what my aunt said." Xie Wuzheng lowered his head and said, "There are no outsiders here at this time, so my nephew said bluntly: the Zheng family is from a powerful eunuch, and although he is in a high position, he owes a little integrity." So even if the former concubine Zheng had a feud with Niangniang, even if they hated Niangniang, they would not risk letting their family be rejected by His Majesty and do anything. But aunt, please think about it, the first emperor has a total of three highnesses, and the eldest princess Minghui is the concubine, not to mention. Yun'an Sui'an is a concubine, but because he is quiet and obedient, he has always been taken care of by His Majesty. Even the title of the decline was drawn up by His Majesty himself. ”

"Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty's throne comes from the first emperor, so no matter what His Majesty thinks in his heart, he will take care of the three highnesses and even his blood and blood in the future."

"My nephew heard a few days ago that His Majesty originally planned to seal his daughter when His Royal Highness Yun'an gave birth, but he was persuaded by his mother, and he planned to wait for the child to be full of weeks. Niangniang's move was originally for the sake of her nephew and His Royal Highness Sui'an, thinking of striving for more years, and hoping that this grace could also be available in the Sui'an Princess's Mansion. ”

"But now, Sui'an can't be born, and what does similar glory have to do with Sui'an's Eldest Princess's Mansion in the future?"

"In the long run, you say, can Your Majesty not be more and more partial to Princess Yun'an's Mansion?"

Jiang frowned and said, "Don't forget, although Yun'an can have children, you have the support of your mother." ”

There is a favored concubine to help you beat the side drum, which Zheng Subo can compare to as a child?

The emperor himself has so many imperial daughters, except for Princess Zhaoqing under the knee of the noble concubine, do you think he cares about the second and third princesses?

Xie Wuzheng sighed and said, "Auntie, of course my nephew knows that Niangniang is facing us. But the nephew dared to say: If a family wants to prosper, it purely depends on the marriage of its daughter, and after all, the foundation is vain and cannot last long! In the final analysis, it is up to your family to fight for it! Niangniang is pampered and can help us intercede once, twice, or three times...... And even many times. But even if the mother is favored, in the palace, there is not only the mother and a concubine, but also the queen, the queen mother, and the queen mother! Every time Niangniang helps us pull the bias frame, who knows how much anger we suffer in private, how much effort we spend, and how many plans and compromises we make? ”

"Can't it go on like this?"

"At that time, even if the mother is not tired, how can she deal with a dignified man like a nephew?"

"If you are a brother, you should rely on your sister."

"Now it's turned into a drag on the mother, so it's better to return to the hometown, and you can make the mother relax, isn't it?"

The Jiang family was quite moved by this, after all, Concubine Min in the palace was her own flesh and blood, why didn't she want her daughter to have an easy life, don't have to carry everything by herself, and have to keep the future of the family in mind?

It's just that after being moved, she was depressed again.

Why isn't this her own son???

Think about my own sons who are more than respectful and filial, but obviously lack of opportunity......

Jiang sighed heartily and said, "That's it, since you really feel sorry for your sister, then what else can I say?" The concubine is my own flesh and blood, and she is also your cousin, you are willing to help her, I can't let your brother and sister love each other. ”

She groaned for a moment and said, "So, your reluctant request is to convey this speculation to Your Majesty?" ”

Xie Wuzheng shook his head and said, "Auntie, what is Sui'an's identity?" Even if this is done by the Zheng family, not to mention that with our family's background, it is basically impossible to get the credentials. Even with the help of His Majesty's strength, how can His Majesty admit it? At most, he disposed of the Zheng family in private, but he would never make it public, otherwise wouldn't the people of the world think that His Majesty was not wise enough to be brave enough to even blind the Zheng family's eunuchs? ”

The Jiang clan who heard this nodded secretly, although what Xie Wuzheng just said was very good, but who is the Jiang clan?

No matter how excited he was when he heard this, he became suspicious when he turned around, suspecting that Xie Wuzheng was taking advantage of the situation to seek more support from Yun Fenghuan.

However, like Yun Fenghuang's thinking, the Jiang family also felt that they were not afraid that their children were ambitious, but they were afraid that they were incapable and ambitious!

If you can have the final say, who doesn't want their own flesh and blood or siblings to be the most prominent?

But the lintel of the Xie family is there, and the four biological sons under the Jiang family's knees, how miserable they are, at least before the rise of the Xie family, they are all one of the cards of the Jiang family, and they are the virtuous children praised by Sang Zi.

As far as the Xie family's former status was concerned, they could fully cope with it, and even play it with ease.

But in the past two years, relying on a favorite concubine who has won a deep favor, the family is rich, and Xie Xishi and they are not very comfortable.

This is something that can't be helped, it's like an ordinary show to raise people to go out to lecture, and it is worth celebrating to be able to raise people, if you teach a jinshi, it will be overjoyed, as for the champion, to be honest, I can't even think about it.

But if the Confucianism starts school, it is just a matter of course that the head of the high school under the door is just a matter of course.

Xie Xishi and they are the children of ordinary Xiucai, and their competitors include but are not limited to the great Confucian disciples of the Eight Classics, the queens of the nobles, and the heirs of the eunuchs......

In fact, this is not a problem that cannot be compared, and the growth and cultivation of the two sides are not at the same level at all.

Now that the Jiang clan listens to Xie Wuzheng's words, he sighs, many of the Xie family's children, I'm afraid they can't find a second one with this vision?

"And how are you going to go?"

"Aunt, my nephew's idea is that Sui'an, as the daughter of the first emperor, is the heir of His Majesty, whether Your Majesty really loves Sui'an, or to give an explanation to the clansmen, he will definitely not let this matter go undone!" Xie Wuzheng said softly, "But for us, finding out the real culprit who murdered Sui'an is not the most important thing. Because the matter has come to this, even if the culprit is broken into thousands of pieces, I am afraid that my nephew will not have relatives and blood in this life. ”

Jiang frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay for me, whether it's my family, including the lady in the palace, I never thought that you would not be allowed to take a concubine." I just hope that you will read in the face of the royal family, but also for your own future, and after His Royal Highness gives birth to a son-in-law, it is okay to have a little pastime. Now that such a thing has happened to His Highness, these two days are a time of grief, and even if you want to mention it, it is not convenient. Even if His Royal Highness is submissive, but you just said that she is up, but there is still His Majesty watching. Anyway, you are young, wait for a year and a half, we will help you persuade and coax, maybe His Royal Highness himself proposed to let you take a concubine to continue the heir...... But why do you have to shout it out right now, in vain to dislike the heavenly family? ”

"My aunt misunderstood." The corners of Xie Wuzheng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Yesterday, all the aunts specially asked Aunt Ai to go to the yamen to remind their nephews, how could the nephew be so stupid as to appease His Highness last night, and think about taking a concubine today?" The nephew thought that since it was impossible for the nephew and Sui'an to have an heir, then whether it was a concubine or a stepchild, in the eyes of His Majesty, in the eyes of the clansmen, including the courtiers, the status would definitely be inferior to the heirs of Yun'an and the Zheng family. In this way, my nephew is in front of His Majesty, and I am afraid that the weight will be unconsciously compared to that Zheng Fengdi! ”

He paused, "My nephew doesn't know if my aunt is willing, but my nephew himself is unwilling!" Zheng Fengtong is certainly the queen of power, but the Zheng family is now trembling in front of the prostrate emperor, and the woman they entered the palace, the former concubine Zheng, was also deposed as a concubine and given death because she offended our mother! Such a person, if he crosses his nephew with his real skills, it is because the nephew himself is not angry! But just because His Royal Highness Yun An was not poisoned, the nephew really couldn't swallow this breath! ”

"So my nephew thought, just don't take a concubine, and I won't succeed!"

"Our family has a little surplus wealth, and His Royal Highness is even more golden, and with the status of our husband and wife, we are not afraid that the old queen will not have to rely on it!"

Jiang was taken aback and said, "Nonsense! People like us really don't expect their children to support their old age, let alone the eldest princess of the royal family, but how can the heirs not want it?! You're young now, and you don't care about that. When you are a little older, other people's children and grandchildren are lively around your knees, but you only have one of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, relatively silent, gloomy and sad, at that time, you will know the mood! ”

"Auntie, whether you are a mother or a mother, you have said a truth before, that is, there is no good thing in this world for no reason! Climbing high branches also has a price to climb high branches! Xie Wuzheng said lightly, "Niangniang specially summoned her nephew into the palace at that time, and made it clear to her face that the eldest princess of the royal family was extraordinarily noble, and it was not something that a lintel like my Xie family could climb onto." Even if for various reasons, under the grace of the mother, he got the opportunity of the master, but it is also destined that the nephew will not be like those noble-born horses in the previous dynasty, and only treat the golden branches and jade leaves with a slightly respectful attitude! ”

"Therefore, since the nephew is still the lord, the effort and perseverance spent to serve His Royal Highness is actually not at all under the preparation for the scientific examination that year!"

Jiang frowned and said: "I know you have been wronged these days, the men in our family, although most of them are still in order, there is no such bastard thing as spoiling concubines and killing wives, but who doesn't have a few people in the room who know cold and hot?" But you ......"

"Aunt doesn't have to be like this, my nephew is not talking to you about his grievances." Xie Wuzheng shook his head slightly and said, "After all, when it comes to taking concubines, it is not uncommon for a few people in the market to be able to buy one or two women." But looking at the world, how many people can marry a real royal woman? The nephew is very fortunate about his current situation, if it weren't for his cousin, such a marriage, such an opportunity, it would not have been possible for him to fall on his nephew! ”

"So." He didn't give the Jiang family a chance to interject, and continued in one breath, "What my nephew means is that since the result of Sui'an's inability to have children has been caused, it is useless to track down the real culprit, and it is not within our family's ability, so we just have to hand it over to Your Majesty." Then what we have to consider is, how to recover the loss! ”

“…… Recovering losses? Jiang was slightly stunned.

"Yes." Xie Wuzheng raised his head and stared at her, his expression was sincere, but his eyes did not fluctuate, revealing a quiet coldness, "Sui'an can't give birth, our Xie clan can't have an heir with the blood of the Gongxiang clan, and now it's okay, in the future, in front of Your Majesty, the preference and tilt will inevitably be completely compared by Yun'an, and even Minghui's side!" ”

After all, even if the heir and the biological son are the same in name, emotionally, it is difficult to be the same.

Just imagine, if his children made a mistake with Riyun'an or Minghui, even if Chunjia wanted to deal with it, thinking that they had the blood of Xiaozong in their bodies, and he inherited the throne passed down by Xiaozong, then whether it was in his own heart or to take into account the opinions of others, he would be merciful.

What about the heirs born or adopted by Xie Wuzheng and Sui'an or concubines?

Can there be such a good thing?

"Speaking of which, the nephew himself is not angry, if the nephew's talent and ability are better than Zheng Fengtong and Yunxike, there is no need to be so camping."

"But the nephew feels that the talents of those two are above the nephew, if it weren't for the mother's support, the nephew would not be their opponent at all!" Xie Wuzheng sighed lightly and said, "Therefore, if even the emperor's favor is lagging behind, what will the nephew use to fight with them in the future, and what will he use to share his worries for his mother?" ”

He himself is behind Zheng Fengqi and Yunxike, but how can the Jiang family stand that when his daughter needs to be employed, there is no one to rely on?

Her face suddenly became cautious: "What do you mean......?" ”

"At that time, the Ji clan had a large population, and it was wiped out overnight, which certainly caused an uproar among the masses, but how long has it been, and how many people in the market remember?" Xie Wuzheng said lightly, "What happened to Sui'an, the loss suffered by our Xie family, now that it is spreading, many people must be talking about sympathy, but ...... After a while, they feel that it is not new, and it is over. Auntie, this is not good, this is too unfair to Sui'an and us! ”

"My nephew wants them to let Your Majesty, let the whole country and the whole dynasty always remember this matter, remember that Your Majesty can't live in Sui'an! I remember the grievances I suffered from Xie!! ”

He said coldly, "So my nephew decided not to have an heir, whether it was a concubine or a step, unless God was pitiful, Sui'an was able to have children, in short, except for the heirs in her belly, the nephew didn't want !! ”

"......" Jiang's fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, and he thought quickly: Originally, after Xie Wuzheng became the master, he pitied Sui'an everywhere, and the couple loved and harmonized, which was enviable.

It's just that their wedding days are short, they are young, and their backgrounds are very different, so everyone doesn't think it's strange and doesn't pay special attention.

But......

If Sui'an can't give birth, Xie Wuzheng shouted "Don't be born as an heir from the eldest princess", and then continue to love and harmonize with Sui'an, and pay it back in a short time, and after a few years, it will become a good story!

At that time, there is no need for the Xie family to add fuel to the fire, and the story of the horse and the eldest princess will be spontaneously spread in the market, rumors of their affection, their talented women, their marriage, and their regrets.

Then, as Xie Wuzheng said, the whole world will remember the murder of Princess Sui'an, as well as the grievances of the concubine Xie Wuzheng, and the debt of the Xie family!

Although Xie Wuzheng is so empty, as long as he doesn't do anything particularly angry, Chunjia can treat him badly???

Jiang's eyes flickered, raised his head, as if he had never seen Xie Wuzheng, looked at him seriously for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Xie Wuzheng nodded: "I think about it." ”

"Are you sure you don't regret it?"

"No regrets." Xie Wuzheng replied quickly, and then added, "Nephew said that aunt is not strange, the mother in the palace still has no biological flesh and blood, but the nephew does not feel that the mother is pitiful." Anyway, even if the nephew and the eldest princess were only step-heirs when they were alive, when they went in the future, would the clan still arrange for people to sprinkle and worship? ”

This is for sure, as long as the heir of his close branch survives the bundle of hair, even if he goes before he gets married, the clan will arrange an heir sooner or later to ensure that there is someone after his death.

Not to mention Xie Wuzheng's current official position, coupled with the eldest princess's wife, when they are alive, the clan can't press them to pass the heir, and when the people are gone, the clan will stand up to help pick up the aftermath, and the royal family will not object, they will only feel that the clan is loyal...... This is also the meaning of the family at this time, isn't it just for someone in front of and behind you to take a hand, so that you won't come and go alone in the world?

Hearing him compare with Yunfeng Huang, the Jiang family let out a long breath and said cautiously: "Since this is the case, then I will go back and tell my mother!" ”

Seeing Xie Wuzheng smile slightly, she said again, "But, it's a big matter, the family, especially your parents, my identity with my mother, but it's not easy to say anything, you have to think for yourself." ”

She's not really hard to say anything, but why?

Xie Wuzheng's own idea, to learn from Yunfenghuan, to exchange the heirs for a good reputation and preferential treatment in the career, and the bulk of the benefits are also taken by himself, why did the Jiang family let the mother and daughter risk being suspicious of the family, especially by the big house, who suspected them of making Xie Wuzheng suffer the risk of being wronged, and doing such a thankless job?
