Leaving No Trace Volume 9 Chapter 7 Conflict
、、、、、、、
Although he was the elder brother of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Yunchao's audience still took a lot of effort. Since the Xiao family was in the middle palace back then, they have been much more cautious, and the pampered habits of the past seem to have disappeared overnight, and even Xiao Yunchao, who has always been in and out of the palace frequently, has also suffered. Mrs. Xiao is an assertive person, so the Xiao family does not treat her, and whenever she enters the palace to ask for peace, she just says a few words lightly and asks her to quit. This time, Xiao Yunchao couldn't help the doubts and panic in his heart, and insisted on entering the palace to ask his sister for an explanation.
As soon as Xiao Shi saw her brother's expression, she knew that he had something on his mind, so after the routine greeting was over, she sent a palace maid and eunuch, and even Rouping was sent out to guard the door, so she asked dissatisfiedly:
"What's the matter with you, acting so impatiently? Brother, you are now a serious national relative, not comparable to ordinary pepper house nobles, and your demeanor should be steady. are all people who have inherited the title of Duke of Chengen, why do they always look like they can't hold their breath! ”
Xiao Yunchao didn't care about the girl's questioning, but felt harsh when he listened to it. He also forgot the identity of the monarch and minister between the two, and sneered at each other: "The queen mother only knows how to rely on her son to succeed now, of course, Weichen is not pleasing to the eye everywhere." Weichen Hengzhi is just an insignificant official, and it is not irreplaceable, it is better to resign and go home! He snorted coldly and sat down to himself, his face full of displeasure.
Xiao Shi was stunned by his brother's unexplained temper, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses, and he was suddenly furious. She is the supreme authority in the palace, and even the two generations of emperors have never spoken heavily, how can she withstand such words as Xiao Yunchao. "Brother, what are these words? If you think that the DPRK will not be able to do without you, even if you resign, why bother to come here to complain? Isn't the emperor enough for you? It's Jinfeng again, and it's recalled again. Even your unsuccessful sons have been rewarded with the same favor, and even your sister-in-law has one more fate, what are you not satisfied with? Xiao Shi originally thought that his brother was a character who couldn't be supported, and at this time, he was even more disgusted with him.
"Hmph, get me back from the northwest when you want to use people. I'm afraid that when I stir up the situation, he will leave me in the northwest and let the kid who has no side to watch, does the emperor take my uncle in his eyes? Xiao Yunchao saw that his sister-in-law was completely helping the emperor, and the anger in his heart was even worse, "If it weren't for the help of the Xiao family's power, would he be able to sit firmly in the original crown prince's position?" If it weren't for your strong support, he would have been able to ascend the throne? If the wings are stiff, you don't put others in your eyes, Queen Mother, you are too lenient to the emperor, you must know that you are also from the Xiao family, do you really have to let him clean up the Xiao family's forces before you are satisfied? ”
Xiao's expression suddenly became solemn. I saw her clenching the handkerchief in her hand, as if she was stunned by her brother's words. She pondered for a long time before she asked with difficulty: "The mourning family is the emperor's mother. Naturally, everything has to be thought of for him. Moreover, after the emperor ascended the throne, he did not weaken the authority of the Xiao family, but used He Weitao and others more heavily, and he also respected your brother. Are you guilty of dwelling over the little things you were in the first place? The emperor is the emperor after all, if you always treat him as a child, it would be too disrespectful! ”
Xiao Yunchao couldn't hold back any longer, stood up suddenly, walked to Xiao's side in a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "Ripple, you told me the truth, why did you give up that day?" He has been spoiled by you since he was a child, and he has always been cultivated as a prince, why did he suddenly change direction? No matter how young you are, you can just hold the power, so the power of the Xiao clan is unstoppable, why give up such a big benefit? I didn't regret going to see you that day, and he didn't understand what you did that day. You must know that if you help, he has a great hope of success, you are too reckless! ”
It's good that Xiao didn't listen, but at first glance, he was suddenly cold, and he couldn't say a word. She never thought that her brother would be so unwise, and she must know that if the emperor knew about the unfortunate matter of private exploration, it would immediately be a heart disease. Rao is usually conceited and scheming, and at this time she can't help but be a little messy. I wanted to reprimand my brother, but I was afraid that I would cause more trouble, and if I didn't warn him, I was afraid that he would become even worse, so I was stunned for a while.
Xiao Yunchao was stunned when he saw his sister-in-law, and thought that she regretted it in her heart, so she hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Ripples, it's a pity that he is your biological son after all, and he has always been obedient to you, you see an opportunity for the emperor to pardon him, maybe there will be a time when it will be useful in the future." Even if you made a mistake before, depending on your ability, it is also a very simple matter to affect the government and government, and you must not easily let go of power. Now the emperor has some intention of supporting the He family against our Xiao family, and he must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise all these years of hard work will not be in vain......"
He was about to continue, and suddenly found that the girl's face was extremely ugly, and her eyes were even more murderous, so he couldn't help but stop talking strangely. Xiao Shi was almost angry by his brother's thoughts, and at this time he grabbed the words, and immediately scolded him: "You, you are simply unreasonable!" The mourning family thought that you were just for the prosperity of the Xiao family, who would have thought that you would be so short-sighted! You don't want to think about it, how many good places have been there for the dictatorship of foreign relatives in the past? If you want to usurp power, then it doesn't matter if you continue. But if you want to keep the Xiao family well, you should get rid of that kind of mind as soon as possible! ”
She saw that her brother was stunned by her two words, and scolded with hatred: "You think you don't know what you do, God knows if anyone has stabbed this matter to the emperor!" It's no wonder that the emperor has always looked uneasy when he asked for peace in recent days, and he looked like he wanted to say something and stopped, maybe he already knew what you were doing secretly. Brother, why are you so confused, now the Xiao family is cooking oil with fire and flowers blooming, but no one knows whether it will flourish and decline. You don't know how to converge yet, just blindly publicize, sooner or later it will bring catastrophe! ”
Xiao Yunchao didn't expect that the girl's mouth was like this, and she wanted to refute but couldn't find a better explanation, so she could only listen there. He is not a person who does not care at all, but he was very moved by a few new staff members in the house, and after seeing the wind without regret, he regretted the original situation even more, which is why there is a scene where today's teacher is almost guilty. However, he had always been accustomed to listening to his sister's words, and when he thought deeply about the consequences of the matter, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his expression was a little panicked.
However, he was bound to be too weak in front of Xiao Shi to save face, so he searched his stomach and found a few words in response, but it had no weight at all. Until he left the palace, he still looked like a daze, and his heart was already at a loss, and he almost forgot the intention of entering the palace.
Sitting in the eight-carried sedan chair, Xiao Yunchao was still reminiscing about his sister's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, but the dissatisfaction and unwillingness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and finally it turned into a strong resentment. After asking the Xiao family, he took all the staff in the Xiao Mansion to the northwest, and sent them to the princes of the various ministries without even asking his opinion. That's not all, on the eve of returning to Beijing, Feng Wuxian also let Feng Wufang put him under house arrest in disguise, and he didn't let him return until the major events in the capital were decided, completely inappropriate for his uncle to be a character. He can endure these, but he must not tolerate the power of the Xiao family after the death of the old emperor.
Counting the power of the Xiao family, at least one-third of the court officials are in control, and even the emperor of Feng Wuxian cannot be easily shaken. Thinking of this, Xiao Yunchao's face couldn't help but show a somewhat smug smile. Usurpation of power? He has never fought this kind of idea, but the taste of a powerful minister who has the power of the world and no one dares to disobey is indeed very good. He remembered the words of his staff that night, and a more dangerous aura appeared between his brows.
The girl just stiffened, and he came to an arbitrary conclusion. If the Xiao family can really control all the government affairs, the benefits to her are self-evident, and it is a big deal to let her listen to the government at that time. Xiao Yunchao remembered Xiao's strong desire for power, and couldn't help laughing. As long as he can master the court, who dares to make irresponsible remarks, even the emperor can only bow down to others, let alone others? He clenched his fists suddenly, and there was a confident smile on his face, what others can do, there is no reason why he Xiao Yunchao can't do it.
In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Xiao was already disturbed by her brother's audience just now, and several eunuchs were dragged down to the staff for angering her. At this time, Feng Wuxian came to ask for peace, and when he saw the few little eunuchs who were beaten under the corridor and didn't dare to make a sound, he couldn't help frowning. In his impression, it seemed that his mother had not lost her temper like this for a long time, and this time it was really a little strange.
He didn't go in immediately, but beckoned a little eunuch to ask, and then he understood that Xiao Yunchao had come.
As soon as Rouping heard it outside, "The emperor has arrived!" She also knew that her master was in a bad mood, so she hoped that the emperor could persuade her. After bowing and saluting, she quietly signaled to the emperor, saying that the Xiao family was extremely hot today. Feng Wuxian was already vaguely aware of something, and his face suddenly didn't look good, but before entering the house, he put on a smiling face.
After asking for peace, Feng Wuxian said with a smile: "Queen Mother, if these minions make you angry, you can be sent to the Punishment Division for discipline, and you can't hurt your body for these trivial things." He waved his hand to the eunuchs and palace maids to retreat, and at the same time persuaded again, "This crackling outside crackles and beats the board, and for no reason it spoils the purity of Cining Palace, and it is not pleasant to listen to it, so it is better to send it clean." The Queen Mother is a golden and precious body, and I am worried that your liver fire will hurt your body too much. ”
When those eunuchs and palace maids saw the emperor's signal, they immediately retreated as if they had been amnestied, and with the previous example, no one wanted to touch their heads again. There were only the emperor's mother and son left in the side hall, Xiao Shi pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Emperor, the mourning family asked you a word, what do you think of your uncle Xiao Yunchao?"
