Chapter 1067: The Choice of the Heir

Wang Shichong looked at Wei Zheng's hesitant appearance, and said with a smile: "Xuan Cheng is afraid that I, Wang Shichong, is Yang Jian, and you, Wei Zheng, are Gao Ying?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "Lord, since you know it, why do you bother to ask?" Gao Yang and the others, when they were in trouble together, they could also be entrusted with life and death, but once the name of the monarch and the minister was set, and it involved the society of the country, didn't they turn against each other? Xuan Cheng didn't want to get involved in these troublesome things, and asked the lord to forgive me. ”

Wang Shichong's brows furrowed slightly: "Since you don't want to get involved in these things, why do you take the initiative to mention them?" opened this head, but didn't dare to express his opinion, Xuan Cheng, I have known you for so many years, but it is the first time that you are so dishonest. ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said: "It's not that I'm not honest, as a subordinate, as a courtier, it is necessary for Wei to remind the lord of these things, but only the lord and you have the idea of these things, and I, Wei Zheng, as a courtier, can't interfere with your decision casually." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "You have the right to suggest, I am the one who makes the last decision, Gao Ying and Yang Jian finally got out of control, in fact, in my opinion, it is more of Gao Ying's problem, as a courtier, he can advise Yang Jian not to be easy to store, but he used all his connections and connections, and even did not hesitate to force the palace to protect Yang Yong's sons and daughters, so as to cross Yang Jian's bottom line as an emperor, Xuan Cheng, do you want to suggest, or do you want to force me to accept your point of view?" ”

The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth hooked: "My subordinates are courtiers, I can only suggest, of course I can't impose my will on the lord, for so many years, Wei has never forced the lord to do anything." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Isn't this it." As long as you, Wei Xuancheng, don't force me to do things. How could I hate you? For so many years. You are the only one who has mentioned this to me, not even my brother Shiwei, and I know that you are acting out of faith, so what else do you have to worry about? ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I am not afraid that your lord will regret it in the future, if the other sons know what I am going to say, they will inevitably have resentment, and it is impossible for you to protect me for the rest of my life." Just like Gao Ying. When the emperor was there, there was always room for him, but as soon as Yang Guang ascended the throne, his life was still not guaranteed in the end. ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a while and said: "There are only two people here, you can get out of your mouth, into my ears, rotten in my heart, I, Wang Shichong, swear to the sky, I will never leak the content of today's conversation between you and me to anyone." In particular, I will not let anyone directly involved in this matter know, otherwise it will be difficult for me to achieve my ambition. Death in troubled times! ”

Wei Zheng hurriedly grabbed Wang Shichong's hand: "Lord, you can't help it, how can you casually swear for a courtier?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "For your frankness and outspokenness, this oath is still worth it." How about it, Xuan Cheng, you forced me Wang Shichong to swear to the sky, so don't let the words rot in your stomach again. ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Okay, since the lord has said so, I, Wei Zheng, will also dig out my heart today." Lord, let's talk about your position as a wife first, do you want to use this position in the future to marry people and completely marry the forces of Guanlong's wealthy family, or Xiao Liang, or Nan Chen? ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, in the troubled times, brotherhood or the righteousness of allies, has no effect, I have watched the Long family, if you want to really form an alliance, you have to get married, once I wanted to marry the Hongnong Yang family, and even the Li family in Longxi, but later I found that this road is not passable, Yang Xuangan has no sister, the weight of the red whisk girl is insufficient, and there is Li Mi to provoke, this matter is not successful." As for the Li Yuan family, they now regard me as a mortal enemy, and the other major families are not heroes in troubled times, and I don't look down on them, so the marriage with Guan Long's family has come to an end for the time being. ”

"Next is the Shandong clan, the temper of these literati is stinky and hard, Xuancheng you know best, between the five surnames and seven wangs, they often only intermarry within the clan, and those barbarian emperors who entered the Central Plains back then could not marry these ancient Central Plains clans, so I also gave up this plan early."

Wei Zheng smiled: "So the lord's eyes are on Empress Xiao and Chen Xuan'er, right?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Xuan'er is the woman I like, she is kind and weak, but her personality is very strong, and I, Wang Shichong, have failed her, so I will protect her well and will not let her be hurt again." But this has nothing to do with politics or marriage, and my position as a wife in the future has nothing to do with her. ”

"As for Xiao Meiniang, this woman is thoughtful, and there is the entire Xiao Liang force behind her, what we want to take in the future is not the south, but to pacify the north first, and we can't tear my face with Xiao Milling for the time being, and there is a conflict, so after overthrowing the Sui room, I marry Xiao Meiniang, which is the most suitable choice. First, it can stabilize our relationship with Xiao Liang, and secondly, it can also be used as a reason to legally inherit the Sui Dynasty, and thirdly, the marriage between the noble Lanling Xiao family and my Wang Shichong can make my Wang family a superior family in one fell swoop, and when it comes to my children and grandchildren, they will no longer be looked down upon. ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "Although the lord's idea is good, but Xuan Cheng does not agree, not that the Xiao family is not suitable for marriage, but in the woman Xiao Meiniang, this woman is extremely stoic, and the art of power scheming, just imagine that she and Yang Guang have been married for decades, it can be said that the husband and wife of the youth can betray Yang Guang without hesitation, cut off the Sui Dynasty, and even his own son can be sacrificed, it can be described as a femme fatale, if the lord really wants to marry her, it is very likely to become the second of the queen Lu, endangering the heirs and other concubines of the lord in the future, It will even ruin the lord's world again, you must check it! ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuan Cheng, I like your straightforwardness, I will definitely pay attention to these, even if I really marry Xiao Meiniang in the future, I will not let her have access to power, let alone let her have the opportunity to meet other Xiao clansmen, of course, at the beginning of the world, I still need this level of marriage, but if I sit firmly in the world, then Xiao Meiniang will become dispensable, I will not really confuse her and miss a big thing." ”

The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth hooked, he knew very well that Wang Shichong, once he made a decision, he would not bother to persuade him anymore, he shook his head and said, "Then my lord, compared with the position of this wife, how are your heirs and heirs going to be arranged?"
