Chapter 150: One after another
The Cui family, King Xin'an, Duke Guangping, King Shou, and the crown prince, these people were all top dignitaries of the Dasheng Dynasty in Chang'an, but they extended invitations to Xu Yi almost at the same time.
If Xu Yi knew how to do it in normal times, he would turn around in a big deal, maybe it would be all turned down in a day, it would be nothing more than a false accusation.
But now, it's clear that this is not a simple invitation.
"My lord, it doesn't matter if the Cui Mansion includes King Xin'an's side, it's all my own family, so it's easy to say anything. I heard that the relationship between Guangping Gong and Gao Weng is very close, and the so-called comradeship between the ancestor of the lord and the ancestor of Guangping may not be useful now. ”
"If it is really close, the lord will admit that the matter of the descendants of the Ying Duke will not spread so quickly to Chang'an."
"Although the Guangping Mansion is not as good as the Shouwang Mansion and the East Palace in terms of status, in view of the relationship with Gao Weng, it is not inferior at all!"
For this point, Xu Qing is not verbose, and Xu Yi is also clear.
As soon as the news spread that he was a descendant of that bullshit Ying Gong, Xu Yi understood what that Cheng Boxian was. At this time, you are embarrassed to invite?
I think it's similar to Li Mao's meaning. The problem is, Xu Yi really can't guess what they mean.
The prince invited, Xu Yi could still guess a little, probably because he heard about his filthiness with Li Mao, and he had some intention to win over.
But Li Mao was also invited!
As for Li Mao giving up the entanglement between the two······ Perhaps, if his position is really useful for the inheritance of unification, it is also possible for Li Mao to let go of that little entanglement.
The problem is that Xu Yi doesn't feel that he has that weight.
"Shouwang's side······ I am afraid that there is a sense of stirring, and it is estimated that it is because of the invitation issued by the prince at the invitation of the prince. ”
In front of Cui Ying, Xu Qing couldn't say it too clearly.
"As for the crown prince, I think he should have some kindness to the lord."
Xu Qing's progress is visible to the naked eye, and he has a bit of a brain in his housekeeping career over the years. However, it is only on the surface.
Although Xu Yi has advanced knowledge, he seems to be uncertain about these things in the court, and he feels that he is at the door, and he can't enter the door.
He felt as if the situation was roasting him on the stove, but it felt a little artificial.
Unable to determine the ultimate goal, Xu Yi could not make a choice. It's very difficult.
"Do you want Yingniang to go to the eldest princess's mansion?"
Ling Fengzi felt that the eldest princess was dependent.
"It's not proper, the eldest princess and even Princess Yuzhen are favored by the saints, just because they don't get involved in court affairs at all. On the eldest princess's side, it can only be used as the last support. ”
Although Cui Ying does not participate in the affairs of the Cui family, after all, she grew up in a different environment, and she still has an advantage in judging the general trend.
The real usefulness of the relationship between the eldest princess is when the Xu Mansion is on the verge of life and death, that is, when it involves saints, it has the value of activation.
"Xu Yi, it's not good for the concubine body, but in the concubine's opinion, you must first understand what the basis of the invitation of all parties is, consider the purpose of all parties, and what the saint means."
Cui Yi's words suddenly made Xu Yi understand.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about the military camp, which makes Xu Yi a little bit unclean. In fact, the easiest way to solve a complex situation is the best way to solve it.
Focusing too much on these invitations, thinking too much about the identity and intent of these invitations, limiting one's thinking.
When Xu Yi entered Chang'an, he had already thought that all his actions should show loyalty to the court, that is, loyalty to the Dasheng Dynasty, that is, the emperor.
"All refusals! How to refuse, how to choose the wording, as long as the tone is modest. ”
After Xu Yi finished speaking, he was ready to leave.
"Report ······ Lord, Xu Sishun outside the door asked to see. ”
Hearing the report from the door, Xu Yi was really a little annoyed, how could he feel that things were coming one after another.
But Xu Sishun asked to see him, and Xu Yi really couldn't turn him away.
He is the descendant of Xu Shiji, which is already a matter of knowledge in the court and in Chang'an.
Xu Sishun, as the only descendant of Xu Shiji's lineage, is sympathetic to those nobles in Chang'an, especially those noble families in the early days of the Kai Dynasty who fought the world together, but were all a little degraded.
Moreover, the identification of the clan in this era is even higher than the identification of the dynasty.
If he refuses Xu Sishun at this time, plus he recognizes the eldest princess, he may not know how far the entire court meeting will go.
Having both ability and political integrity is the future generation, and virtue and ethics are ranked before talent.
At this time, rejecting Xu Sishun is even more serious than rejecting the previous invitations. Therefore, Xu Yi had to meet him, the nephew of the clan.
"My nephew meets my uncle."
Xu Yi looked at Xu Sishun, not to see his expression, but to see him dragging his children and daughters with more than 20 people to visit, a little confused.
"What's going to be sung again?"
"Uncle clan, when I saw Uncle Guangping in the Mansion that day, my nephew didn't know in advance that Duke Guangping was entrusted by Gao Weng, and it was my nephew's mistake."
Xu Sishun said, and knelt down directly, and then hulala knelt down a large piece.
This meeting made Xu Yi at a loss: "Get up and speak." Are you saying that when I went to the Guangping Mansion, Cheng Boxian was entrusted by Gao Weng? ”
"Uncle Clan, that's true. The nephew also found out after the fact. At that time, Guangping announced that he knew about his nephew's uncle, and he intended to coordinate with his nephew to recognize his relatives. ”
Afterwards, when there were relevant rumors in Chang'an, my nephew visited Guangping Gong again and learned that he was entrusted by Gao Weng. The nephew didn't know about it beforehand. ”
This is possible and logical. However, Xu Yi doesn't think that Xu Sishun is here to explain this today, if it is purely for explanation, he will not drag all the children and daughters like this.
"Has Guangping Gong always taken care of you?"
"Uncle Clan, that's not the case. After the nephew was examined, he first went out of the border state, starting from the county, and three years ago he entered the Beijing division and served as the head of the Ministry of Officials. ”
"For more than a year, my nephew has visited the Quang Binh Mansion less than five times, and he has seen the Quang Binh Gong three times, even if they met twice this time."
It seems that what Xu Sishun said is very close to the rumored Cheng Boxian.
Xu Yi didn't have the ability to know the truth of words by looking at people's expressions, although he looked at Xu Sishun sincerely, Xu Yi was still a little unsure.
"Where did you come from today?"
"Uncle clan, my nephew is here to take refuge in my uncle. Three years ago, he joined the Beijing Division, rented an official residence, and his nephew has now retired from the official house, dismissed his subordinates, and brought his family of 25. All of them took refuge in the clan uncle. ”
Saying that, Xu Sishun knelt down again, or hula lala.
That's it······ It was too overwhelming for Xu Yi. Xu Yi really hadn't encountered this incident.
More than 20 people, just like that, ran over to let themselves take care of the food, as if they were not embarrassed at all, as if this matter should be shared.
Speaking of which, from the perspective of value at this time, it seems that Xu Sishun is the closest person in this world, but Xu Yi just feels awkward.
Xu Yi was distraught and didn't say anything for a while, which made the group of people kneeling down quite embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the middle hall was weird, and Xu Qing and the others who accompanied him were not easy to make decisions for Xu Yi, and they were also very embarrassed. Whether it was Xu Qing or Ling Fengzi, it was not good to talk too much about this matter.
They all thought that Xu Yi was unhappy, but in fact, Xu Yi was stunned, comparing the values of this era and future generations.
"Uncle Qing, let's arrange for people to live first, and settle people according to their families."
Before Xu Yi could react, Cui Ying spoke.
"Uncle Qing, arrange it."
Xu Yi also turned from his stunned. If you refuse at this time, it is estimated that you will be nailed to the pillar of shame by public opinion tomorrow.
Xu Sishun didn't leave, but stood aside stiffly, wanting to speak and stopping: "Uncle ······ clan"
"Oh, Zhitong, it's been a bit much these days, and I'm distracted. Since you recognize me as an uncle, then I recognize you as a nephew, no matter how you say it, you can't write two Xu characters with one stroke. ”
The words are very clear, the premise is that you recognize me as an uncle.
"Uncle clan, I want to come to Uncle clan for the invitation, right?"
"You know?"
"There are many rumors among the officials of the court, and my nephew has also heard about it. That's why my nephew came here today. ”
"Tell me about it."
"Uncle clan, the rumor in the yamen of the court is that the saint values the new army led by the clan uncle very much. Those who do good things think that the new army led by the clan uncle is likely to be the main force of my Dasheng expedition in the future, and it is bound to have countless achievements and frequent generals. ”
"There are also rumors that the sage handed over the leadership of the selection of soldiers and generals for the new army to the clan uncle, and in this case, there should be many noble families who are trying to find ways to settle close to the new army. Even the prince is afraid that he will make some moves. ”
"What do you think should be done?"
"Uncle clan, the little nephew thinks it's okay to refuse all of them, and Uncle Clan should hand over the power of leadership to the saint."
This Xu Sishun seems to be really considering the position of the Xu family on this issue. But the question of how to select troops and generals······ It still needs to be thought about.
