Chapter 556: The Ideal Partner to Work With
Xie Xiang had room to hesitate further, but he didn't do so. Scholar Gu chose King Xin, which prompted him to make up his mind and directly decided to choose King Xin as well. Choosing a position in the battle for storage positions, the first is to ensure that the winning side is large, and the second is that the partner can be reassured.
In the past, it seemed that Zheng Ying, the king of letters, and Zheng Jin, the king of Yi, had similar conditions, and they were both brilliant young talents, but compared with the external conditions, Zheng Ying was indeed at a disadvantage. Behind King Yi stood Queen Wei, and with the full support of Li Xiang's lineage, compared with him, King Xin can be called empty-handed, and most of the court officials who support King Xin are not high, although there are a lot of them, but there are no important ministers who can influence the court situation.
Therefore, at the beginning, Xie Xiang was not very optimistic about Zheng Ying, and in comparison, of course, he chose Zheng Jin to win. But he still didn't make an easy decision. One is that Xie Xiang also wants to observe more about the actions of the two princes after entering the court, the prince is too important to the country, as the prime minister, Xie Xiang believes that he should be responsible for the court and should not make too hasty decisions.
The second is some inseparable personal causes. As far as Xie Xiang is concerned, Xie Xiang is actually a little emotionally biased towards Zheng Ying, after all, Zheng Ying's mother was born in the Xie family, and blood relationship can undoubtedly become a stable guarantee of cooperation. In other words, Xie Xiang believes that after choosing Zheng Ying, after the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, the risk of unloading the mill and killing the donkey will be a little lower.
It's just a little bit, but it's not really a big difference. Of course, Xie Xiang will not be so naΓ―ve, vainly trying to climb blood relations with the royal family. Xie Xiang himself knew that this was actually just a little bias due to blood relationship, which made him emotionally feel more reassuring to cooperate with Zheng Ying, nothing more.
Therefore, for Xie Xiang, who has always been sensible, this little emotional bias is, of course, just a very trivial matter, having said that, even if the prince who is related to the Xie family can't be the emperor, it doesn't matter, anyway, his Xie daughter still has to be the queen.
If the new emperor really makes up his mind to unload the mill and kill the donkey, then no one can stop it.
Third, it is an important reason why Xie Xiangyi hesitated, because if he chose Zheng Jin, he would inevitably have to cooperate with Li Xiang for a long time. And Lee Sang...... It's really not a good partner to reassure Xie Xiang. The contradiction between the two is actually irreconcilable, even if they can temporarily cooperate to help Zheng Jin take the position, they will still tear their faces in the future.
So in fact, a long time ago, Xie Xiang made a verbal promise to Zheng Ying. However, it was just a verbal promise, and even Zheng Ying knew in his heart at that time that Xie Xiang hadn't actually made up his mind, he just didn't want to cooperate with Li Xiang.
So this verbal promise was actually gone, and Xie Xiang didn't seriously stop Zheng Jin from running after his granddaughter.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Xie Xiang found out that the Gu family might have chosen Zheng Ying, the king of letters, which made the balance in Xie Xiang's heart directly tilt in favor of Zheng Ying, and finally prompted him to make up his mind. Xie is actually happy to see the Gu family's decision. At present, Zheng Jin has the queen and Li Xiang behind him, and behind Zheng Ying stands the Duanming Palace scholars and a large number of low-level court officials, Zheng Ying's disadvantage is not so obvious, if there is the support of his Xie family, Zheng Ying's winning chance is actually not small.
And for Xie Xiang, Gu Zheng is a very ideal partner to work with, at least much stronger than Li Xiang, so if it is certain that the Gu family really chose King Xin, Xie Xiang does not need to hesitate.
Xie Changjing obviously understood Xie Xiang's thoughts, he knew the purpose of Xie Xiang's invitation to him, and he also knew that Xie Xiang had no intention of continuing to hesitate.
In fact, even Xie Changjing himself thinks that if the Gu family votes for King Xin, it will be very good for their Xie family to follow and choose King Xin. He was just a little worried about his daughter's marriage, because he believed in the king...... I don't seem to be very interested in marrying his daughter!
Coming out of Xie Xiang's study, several brothers of the Xie family looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time. Xie Changjing didn't hesitate any longer, he looked up at the sky and decided to go out temporarily.
"Big brother," Xie Wuye was busy chasing out of the yard, and stopped Xie Changjing behind his back: "It's so late, where are you going?" I'm going to rush to send Rou'er to 'escape the summer' in the next few days, you have to make it clear to the child in person, you ......"
Xie Changjing hurriedly waved his hand at his younger brother without looking back: "I'll go to Jiang's mansion, and you can talk to my mother." Also, remember to send someone to send a message to your sister-in-law. β
What else did Xie Wuye want to say more, Xie Changjing had already run away, so he had to sigh and turn around and go back to the back house.
Xie Changjing ran away by herself, so Fifth Master Xie sent Fifth Grandma to Grandma Xie's yard overnight, and made it clear that she was going to send Xie Shurou to "escape the summer". After hearing this, Grandma Xie was stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Grandma Xie Wu couldn't help but push Grandma Xie: "Rou'er has always said that she doesn't like King Yi, isn't this a good thing!" If Rou'er knew that she didn't have to marry King Yi, she might be much happier. β
Unexpectedly, Grandma Xie Wu pushed out Grandma Xie's tears with this push. Grandma Xie couldn't help but pull her younger sibling's hands and whimpered: "My poor Rou'er! What a life! I thought that even if she didn't like King Yi, King Yi was true to her. After a long time, she should always know that it is too important for this husband to have her in his heart. King Yi's character and appearance are not picky, and he likes Rou'er and is willing to spoil her, and the life of the two of them can always get better and better. But...... But now ......"
"What did my sister-in-law say?" Grandma Xie Wu looked confused: "Okay, why are you sad." King Yi's character and appearance are indeed not picky, but King Xin is no worse than King Yi. It's about one person and one eye, and according to me, King Xin looks better than King Yi! Is it difficult for sister-in-law to be afraid that Rou'er will dislike it? Our Rou'er didn't like King Yi in the first place, wouldn't it be better to change to King Xin? β
"How can I dislike the king of faith, I am only afraid that this king of faith will dislike Rou'er." Grandma Xie replied with tears in her eyes.
"That's really nonsense." Grandma Xie Wu couldn't help but laugh: "Sister-in-law is really cranky. At present, the unmarried daughter in Beijing, who can be stronger than our family Rou'er! Even if this king of faith is above the top, he can't find a more gentle and beautiful girl than Rou'er in the capital. β
Grandma Xie was silent for a moment, and finally told Grandma Xie what happened at the foot of Qinglian Mountain a few years ago.
"I'm a mother, how could I be wrong, King Xin's eyes look at our Rou'er, like looking at a stone on the side of the road." Grandma Xie couldn't help but cry again: "I'm afraid he really doesn't like Rou'er." β
