He had to stand up!

As for what the other Xie clan people said that he took advantage of Xie Yu's youth to snatch the position of head of the family, he was not worried. What he was worried about was that at this moment, the Xie family was not sure that he would be able to lead the Xie family out of this quagmire and towards glory again, so he was silent for a while!

When Xie Yu saw it, he couldn't understand Xie Xiong's mind for a while, so he said tentatively: "Uncle, as for what gossip the clansmen will say, I will clarify it nephew, uncle don't worry......"

Before Xie Yu finished speaking, Xie Xiong interrupted him and said: "Yu'er misunderstood, I don't have to worry about this, it's just that my talent and wisdom are not as good as your father and son after all, and I am not very sure that I can lead the Xie family out of the current predicament, so I will be silent!" ”

Xie Yu listened, and then spoke again: "Uncle is too worried, what the Xie family needs now is to maintain stability, and my uncle is highly respected, which is just right!" ”

"As for getting out of the predicament, haven't we all discussed it, and everything is going according to plan, isn't it okay?"

Xie Xiong listened, but sighed, and then said again: "Yu'er, you are still young and have never mixed in the upper officialdom, and the Xie family at this time is no longer the previous Xie family!" ”

"After the eldest brother went, the Xie family's power has shrunk by half, our Xie family is no longer the first in Jiangnan as before, our bargaining chips are no longer enough, from the words from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I already feel that His Majesty is ready to treat Jiangnan with tenderness!"

"It is inevitable to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, and the Xie family at this time is exactly the chicken, and the shrinkage of power is not so important, it is obviously the right chicken in the eyes of His Majesty, so I am worried, I dare not take over the position of head of the family, I am really not sure!"

When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought, he had felt the danger of the Xie family in his heart before, but he didn't expect that he had reached this situation, this was obviously already a knife on his neck, and there was only the last trembling left!

After a moment of silence, Xie Yu spoke: "Uncle, then let's increase the chips!" ”

When Xie Xiong heard this, he immediately felt a little strange, and asked, "Yu'er, what other chips does our Xie family have?" Originally, our plan was to send my daughter Youlan and niece Youruo into the palace, and then send most of the family property to become Your Majesty's spokesperson in Jiangnan, monitor other families in Jiangnan for Your Majesty, and then break with Tang Wangye, what bargaining chips do we have? ”

Xie Yu listened, nodded, but shook his head again, and then said, "Uncle, how can there be no chips?" Our Xie family has been rooted in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, how can we only have these heritages? ”

"What my uncle just said is not so important to His Majesty at this time. In this case, we might as well break our wrists, join Your Majesty with our families, and completely become Your Majesty's people, and seek that glimmer of life! Xie Yu said a little harshly.

Xie Xiong listened, gasped, and said in a trembling voice: "Yu... Yu'er, you... Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"In this way, the Xie family will not be a family, it will be completely connected with the imperial power, and it will become the public enemy of the Daqian family, the enemy of the whole world, and there is no guarantee, Your Majesty will push us out as a scapegoat at any time, our Xie family has no security!"

Xie Yu listened, but he smiled, but it was a sneer, and after a long time, he said: "Uncle, if you don't do this, what else will our Xie family have to live?" Our way to life is only in the thought of His Majesty! Do we have any options? ”

"No, we only have such a way, to put it mildly, we just want to be a dog of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will bite whoever we want."

"Besides, the other families in Jiangnan now wish we would die, so that they can bear all the blame for their crimes, hehe, how can we do what they want? We have to live well! Xie Yu sat on the chair and said in a flat tone.

Xie Xiong listened to Xie Yu's words, and a chill rose in his heart, and he heard a ruthlessness from Xie Yu's words!

And Xie Yu has something to say, but he really understands the secret meaning.

As a family rooted in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, the Xie family has suffered a heavy blow, but the heritage still exists, and it has its own set of intelligence networks in the land of Jiangnan, and all kinds of dirty things in the secret of other families in Jiangnan, I dare not say all but most of them still know, Xie Yu means to take these as a statement of surrender to Your Majesty, so as to facilitate Your Majesty's actions, completely break with the Jiangnan family, and become a dog of Your Majesty in Jiangnan.

Xie Xiong understood Xie Yu's words, so he hesitated, frowned, got up and walked around the room, and began to ponder carefully!

The light shone on Xie Xiong, forming a moving shadow on the ground, Xie Yu looked at the shadow on the ground, and was silent for a while, after all, this matter was too big, it was really difficult to decide, and he only waited quietly for his uncle's decision.

Xie Xiong paced in the room, his face was heavy, and he stopped for a long time before he asked, "Yu'er! Is there really no other way? ”

Seeing this, Xie Yu immediately spoke: "Uncle, no, as for my aunt and Tang Wangye, uncle don't count on it, the Xie family's situation, they can't save it, they don't have enough strength." And we must part ways with them in the future, and we must not have anything to do with them, or we will die without a place to bury! Xie Yu said coldly, without a trace of warmth in his voice.

Xie Xiong listened, his face was expressionless, and he asked again: "Yu'er, how sure are you that Your Majesty can accept our surrender?" ”

Obviously, Xie Xiong at this time has entered the mode of the head of the family and has begun to fulfill his responsibilities as the head of the family!

Seeing this, Xie Yu's heart was excited, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, so he spoke again: "Uncle, my nephew is seventy or eighty percent sure!" ”

"This time, His Majesty made up his mind to rectify the entire Jiangnan officialdom and treat Jiangnan with tenderness. The nephew thinks that His Majesty does have the intention of killing chickens and monkeys, so he pointed out our Xie family, but is it just to kill chickens and monkeys? ”

"My nephew doesn't see it that way, the biggest chicken has been killed, but it's not His Majesty's hand, Jiangnan Jiedu made Li Yin dare to lead troops to slaughter the Jiangnan family, and it's not that His Majesty's mind is accurate, isn't this a disguised killing of chickens and monkeys!"

Xie Xiong listened, nodded, obviously agreed with Xie Yu's statement, and motioned for him to continue.

When Xie Yu saw it, he opened his mouth again: "So, uncle, I think Your Majesty's mind is not just to kill chickens and monkeys, and point out our Xie family, is it really to kill our Xie family?" I can't see it! ”

"I think this is exactly the choice that His Majesty is ready to give our Xie family, to see if our Xie family is interested. Knowing interest and completely surrendering to Your Majesty, our Xie family will become a nail for Your Majesty in the Jiangnan region, completely stand on the opposite side of the Jiangnan family, and become the enemy of these families. After all, even if our Xie family declines, there are still three nails in the rotten ship, not to mention that it is not in decline. In this way, it will be difficult for the Jiangnan family to twist into a force, which is beneficial to the court and His Majesty. ”

"If you don't know how to be interesting, then it's really a good example! After all, for His Majesty, as long as there is a chance, the Jiangnan family can be one less, even if this time the killing of chickens and monkeys is a bit redundant. Xie Yu said with an expressionless face.

If Zheng Wen was here at this time, he would definitely be surprised, because these analyses were right in his mind.

Because of the matter of Jinling, it has been clearly told to these families that the guns are terrible, they can't do whatever they want, sometimes they should be restrained, and people must be in awe!

When Xie Xiong heard this, he was still a little uncertain, sat on the chair for a long time, and then said: "Okay, Yu'er, just do as you say, this time, the Xie family is out of the way, I hope what you said is right." ”

I don't know how, after deciding it, Xie Xiong felt relaxed for a while, and relaxed all of a sudden, whether it was successful or not, since the decision has been made, it is better to work hard in this direction than to wait aimlessly, and he also recognized Xie Yu's statement in his heart, after all, he has been a high-ranking official of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, although his political sense is not very sensitive, but he has a lot of experience in politics, so he feels that what his nephew said, I am afraid that it is the most real idea in His Majesty's heart!

As soon as he relaxed, Xie Xiong remembered that his nephew seemed to say that he was going to prepare to enter the officialdom, so he asked again: "Yu'er, you just said that you are going to enter the officialdom?" ”

"Well, uncle, my nephew is preparing to enter the officialdom, after all, our Xie family is not as good as before after this incident, and my nephew is ready to do his part for the Xie family!" Xie Yu said calmly.

Xie Xiong listened, nodded, and then said with a sigh: "It's a pity! ”

"Uncle, what is the pity?" Xie Yu asked with some curiosity.

"It's a pity that Yu'er has to keep filial piety, otherwise taking advantage of this Enke, it would be good if you could take the Jinshi exam!" Xie Xiong said with some sighs.

Xie Yu listened, and thought that the big thing was not the imperial examination, with his knowledge, it was not the same to take the exam again after keeping filial piety, so he said with some disapproval: "Uncle, what's the pity, the next time the exam will not be the same." ”

When Xie Xiong heard this, he immediately glared at him, and then he spoke: "Yu'er, what do you know, this is Enke, can it be the same?" ”

"What about Enko? Like our family, Enko has fallen off the grade, and his nephew ......"

Before Xie Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Xiong and said: "What do you kid know, don't look down on Enke, although Enke of the court is a little nonsense, a little casual, and a little nondescript in the eyes of the world's scholars!" ”

"But your uncle told you today that the Enke of the Great Cadre is the most talented, and more than half of the important ministers of the court are from Enke for more than 300 years, which is only discovered by your uncle and I who have been the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and all kinds of materials of the Ministry of Rites!"

"And the scale of Enke this time must be quite small, just think about His Majesty's thoughts. And this Enke, but for more than ten years, another Enke, all the talented people in the world will participate, if you can be admitted to the Jinshi, you will have a relationship with these people, become the same Jinshi, after you enter the officialdom, you can be like a fish in water! ”

When Xie Yu heard this, he fell silent all of a sudden!
