Xiao Taishi left the palace, and before he got into the carriage, Xiao Huaijin had already hurriedly followed, and was about to speak, Xiao Taishi had already waved his hand, signaling that Xiao Huaijin didn't have to say much, and after being helped into the carriage, he beckoned: "Come up and talk!" Xiao Huaijin got into the carriage, the coachman shook the reins, and the carriage drove forward, but Xiao Huaijin couldn't wait to say: "Father, why are you ...... today!" ”

Taishi Xiao waved his hand, coughed, then took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at Xiao Huaijin lightly, and asked, "Let me ask you, will the emperor make your sister the queen?" ”

Xiao Huaijin was stunned for a moment, and then said hatefully: "I'm only afraid...... I'm afraid it won't! ”

"That's it." Xiao Taishi said slowly: "The emperor's mind has been decided, even if you can't become a concubine, your sister will not become the queen!" ”

Xiao Huaijin immediately said: "Father, it's okay if my sister can't be the queen, how can you agree to make Concubine Shu the queen?" As long as your old man is against it, even if the emperor wants to establish a concubine, he will not be able to do it. ”

Taishi Xiao smiled coldly and asked, "Then let me ask you, at today's court meeting, why did Han Xuanchang oppose Concubine Lishu as the queen?" ”

Xiao Huaijin was speechless for a while.

He really didn't know why such a weird thing happened.

"Han Xuanchang is not obvious, but he is a rare wise person of the Han family!" Taishi Xiao sighed lightly, "In the past, the old man Han Xuanchang was the most cunning fox in the Han family, and today it seems that Han Xuanchang is not weaker than Han Xuandao." After a pause, he shook his head and said: "The generations of the Han family are all powerful characters, and it is no accident that they can have today's momentum!" ”

Xiao Huaijin smiled coldly, "It's a pity that the Han family doesn't have a Xiao Huaiyu." No matter how many members of his Han family there are, they can't add up to a finger from Huaiyu! ”

Taishi Xiao's expression became cold, and he snorted coldly, and said, "You all point to Huaiyu one by one...... Do you know that now the safety of my Xiao family is all related to Huaiyu alone, and the entire Xiao family, except for Wan Changshang, has no one to help the old man, which is really not the blessing of my Xiao family! ”

Xiao Taishi's "Wan Chang" is the son of Xiao Tongguang and the nephew of Xiao Taishi, and now he is in the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he is a relatively outstanding talent of the Xiao family.

Xiao Huaijin lowered his head, quite embarrassed, but he quickly raised his head and asked, "Father said that Han Xuanchang is wise, where does this start?" The child doesn't know, why did Han Xuanchang oppose Concubine Lishu as the queen? ”

"Is it a treasure for you to be the queen?" Xiao Taishi smiled coldly, then coughed again, Xiao Huaijin hurriedly came over and gently patted Xiao Taishi's back.

Taishi Xiao coughed for a while, wiped the corners of his mouth again, and then said slowly: "If your sister becomes the queen, then it's fine, but the emperor's intentions, your sister will definitely not sit in that position." After a pause, he said: "Except for your sister, whoever sits in the queen's position will sit on the fire pit, and there is no benefit!" ”

"Where did you start with my father?"

"The battle of the harem is not obvious to the mountains or water, but it is sinister and not weaker than the court." Xiao Taishi said slowly: "And many disputes in the harem often have to affect the court, and the situation in the court sometimes even breaks the pattern due to changes in the harem...... ”

Xiao Huaijin looked dazed.

"When Concubine Shu became the queen, many people thought that this was the glory of the Han family and the luck of the Han family, but in the eyes of the old man, it was the opposite. Han Shu has become the queen, and she will become the target of the harem, if the old man guesses well, when the time comes, the entire harem will regard Han Shu as an enemy, and there will be many concubines who want to kill Han Shu as soon as possible. Taishi Xiao's voice was low, "Don't think of women as too kind, their jealousy, it's unimaginable, and they want to deal with the enemy, it's unscrupulous, the means are ruthless, not inferior to men." Han Shu is the queen, regardless of qualifications and talents, he is not outstanding...... At least in the eyes of many concubines, this makes those concubines in the palace even more jealous ......! He smiled coldly: "Don't look at the Hu family and the Fan family getting close to the Han family, in the palace, women may not take care of the overall situation, and their jealousy of Han Shu will never belong to other concubines." What Han Shu has to face will be the trap of the entire harem...... If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces......! ”

Xiao Huaijin frowned and said, "Father means that Han Xuanchang came forward to oppose it in order to protect Han Shu?" ”

"That's one of the reasons, of course." Xiao Taishi said: "In terms of the overall situation, Han Xuanchang is still for the benefit of the entire Han family. Not to mention whether Han Shu will be framed in the harem and cause chaos to endanger the Han family, it's just that after Han Shu became the queen, the Han family was greatly enhanced by grace on the surface, and some people had to think about their own ......! ”

"Who is my father talking about?"

"The Su family is naturally one of them." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Taishi Xiao's mouth: "Su Guanya has been wandering like a wandering ghost, he wants to sit back and watch my Xiao family and the Han family fight to the death, and the fisherman will benefit." He brushed his beard and said: "Su Guanya naturally hopes that the Han family has enough strength to fight to the death with us, but he doesn't want the Han family to really get up, once he realizes that the Han family is too powerful, he will inevitably begin to hinder the Han family, before Han Shu is the queen, the strength of the Han family is in line with Su Guanya's thoughts, but once Han Shu is the last, it will be out of the situation that the Su family endured." The Su family has always regarded my Xiao family as a great enemy before, but as soon as this queen is established, they will inevitably begin to guard the Han family, and they will definitely beat the Han family in the back. ”

"The Han family was only powerful outside the palace at the beginning, but now that there is a queen in the palace, the situation is very different." Taishi Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Are you vegetarians in the Hu family and the Fan family?" ”

"The Hu family and the Fan family?" Xiao Huaijin frowned and said, "They all wear a pair of pants!" ”

Master Xiao stroked his beard and smiled: "Is it really wearing a pair of pants?" ”

Xiao Huaijin said: "Father means ......!" ”

"Let me ask you again, if you are Fan Yunao, if you are Hu Xuexin, are you really willing to be under the Han family?" Taishi Xiao looked at Xiao Huaijin and asked lightly.

"Naturally I don't want to!"

"If you were them, would you like to see the Han clan be so powerful that they will be crushed to death by the Han clan forever?"

Xiao Huaijin frowned, thought about it, and then shook his head and said: "The Hu family and the Fan family are also my Dayan century-old family, not to mention Hu Xuexin, but that Fan Yunao is a character who is unwilling to be subordinate, so he is naturally unwilling to be subservient." ”

Taishi Xiao was slightly pleased, and said, "You can understand this, but you also have some insight. Fan Yunao naturally will not be willing to be subordinate, don't look at Hu Xuexin and the Han family closely, he is not a good stubble. The Hu family established the family with martial arts, and in the bones of the Hu family, they did not admit defeat and formed alliances with other families, but it was just a last resort. The Hu family is one of the nine great families of my Dayan country, and its strength is weak, but it is ...... Now he still has a place in the court, which shows that the Hu family is a wise person. After a pause, he pondered for a while before he said: "The Hu family and the Fan family, although they are now close to the Han family, seem to be one party, but in fact, they have their own scheming. These two are strong for the Han family, what they want to see is nothing more than to let the Han family have enough momentum to compete with my Xiao family, what they are willing to see is that my Xiao family and the Han family are both defeated, so as to make profits, and the last thing they want to see is that any of my two families becomes stronger. ”

Xiao Huaijin was a little skeptical: "Father, it's just that Han Shu became the queen, is the matter really that serious?" The voice was lowered: "That emperor is useless, what is a queen?" Han Shu becoming the queen, how much more powerful will the Han family really be, and will it arouse the envy of the major families? ”

Taishi Xiao glanced at Xiao Huaijin coldly, and said lightly: "What is the queen?" The queen is the mother of the country, and the people of the world do not recognize the concubine, but they will recognize the mother of the country. Do you know how much popularity Han Shu will bring to the Han family when she becomes the queen? ”

Xiao Huaijin smiled dryly, but he didn't seem to think so.

"What's more important is that our lady concubine still has a child in her belly." Taishi Xiao's eyes became cold: "If you give birth to a prince...... Son of the Queen, do you think it matters? ”

Xiao Huaijin heard the deep meaning of Xiao Taishi's words, and smiled disdainfully, "Could it be that the emperor still dares to abolish the crown prince and set up another prince?" ”

Taishi Xiao clenched his dry fist and said coldly: "Throughout the ages, the crown prince may not be able to be the emperor!" ”

Xiao Huaijin frowned.

"For more than a year, although the Han family has been supported by the emperor behind it, its strength in the DPRK has increased greatly, and many officials have taken refuge in its door and formed a party, but ...... In just one year, they have only grown stronger, and their foundation is not stable. Taishi Xiao said slowly: "Sometimes it grows too fast, but it is not a good thing, the foundation is unstable, and if you climb too high, it will collapse faster." The Han family actually didn't want to really go toe-for-tat with my Xiao family in the court, but ...... They need the emperor's support, so they must make an appearance of fighting for life and death with my Xiao family, if not, the emperor will not support them. The Han brothers are all smart people, they should know that their foundation is unstable, and if they have the opportunity, they also want to keep a low profile...... It's just that the current situation is no longer tolerated by them. He glanced at Xiao Huaijin and said softly: "But this time, after they were established, they were pushed to the forefront and became the eye nail of several major families, and the other major families never wanted to see the Han family become strong inside and outside the palace, and they understood a truth better, the Han family is integrated inside and outside the palace, and if the palace is strong, the palace will also become stronger, so they will definitely start to restrain the Han family, at least they will not let the Han family's forces outside the palace be too strong, lest the palace will appear in a situation that no one wants to see...... ”

"Father means that because Han Shu is established, the Han family will be in a predicament inside and outside the palace?" Xiao Huaijin said excitedly: "The Su family, the Hu family, and the Fan family are all likely to deal with the Han family?" ”

Xiao Taishi said: "It is certain to fall into a predicament, and the Su family's constraints are also certain. But the Hu family and the Fan family ...... It would not be possible to say that they would openly break up to deal with the Han family, but the support of these two families for the Han family will definitely be greatly reduced" He stroked his beard and smiled: "Han Shu is in a crisis, even if she becomes the queen, whether she can avoid the palace's guns and arrows, that is unknown, once she loses and is shattered, the position of the queen will still be vacated, and there are some things that do not belong to her...... Even if you get it temporarily, it will only bring disaster. ”

Xiao Huaijin touched the thick beard under his chin, frowned and said, "Father, since Han Shu is the queen, it will put the Han family in a predicament, so ...... Han Xuandao is cunning and cunning, and he must be able to understand how powerful he is, but why didn't he stop it in the court? Why is Han Xuanchang the only one who comes forward? ”

"After the emperor is established, looking at the scene of today's dynasty, no one knows about it in advance, and the brothers of the Han family will not know about it." Taishi Xiao's expression began to become grim: "Han Xuanchang came out to oppose it, naturally he quickly understood how powerful it was, and knew that it would not be beneficial to Han Shu himself and the Han family after establishing Han Shu...... It's just that Han Xuandao is silent, and without saying a word, the old man is still very strange. According to reason, Han Xuandao must understand the stakes of this, and for the sake of the overall situation of the Han family, he will definitely come forward to oppose it, but ...... He didn't say a word today, but it made the old man a little unpredictable......! The old lady stroked her white beard, squinted her eyes, her eyes flashed with cold light, and muttered to herself: "This Han Xuandao...... What exactly are you thinking? ”
