Chapter 485: Meritocracy and
In the end, it is much colder than ordinary people, and the winter in the south is already very cold. Unlike the cold in the north, the chill that spreads to the bone marrow in the south makes people want to stay in a warm room all day long.
This year, because Xie Zhanyi is also in Beijing, it is also particularly lively on Chinese New Year's Eve. Everyone was wary of this third son, who seemed to be very easy to get along with, for fear that he would do some tricks in places where he was not paying attention.
Of course, the entire Xie Mansion was extremely busy except for Xie Yaoguang, who was hiding under the covers. The most important thing is that there was an unexpected person sitting in Xie Yaoguang's room, which made her not want to get up at all.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Frowning and looking at Ye Linchen for a while, Xie Yaoguang bit his lip and said.
Hearing this, Ye Linchen moved a stool and sat next to the bed and looked at her slightly hooked lips, "I just happened to enter the palace, so I came to see you by the way." Is your body better? ”
"Okay." After speaking, Xie Yaoguang moved back and tried to distance the two of them, and his tone was low, "Your Highness, can you go out for a while first." After all, this is still my room, isn't it good for you to stay here?"
"It's me who is abrupt."
After saying that, Lin Chen suddenly stood up and seemed to be in a very good mood, and turned away with a rather happy expression.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Xie Yaoguang twisted the quilt with her fingers helplessly, took a deep breath for a long time, got up, and called the maidservant to wash her briefly, then rolled her hair in a bun and pushed the door out with a fox fur.
As soon as he went out and saw Ye Linchen standing at the door, Xie Yaoguang subconsciously stopped, silently looked at the person not far away, frowned, and said, "Your Highness, should we talk in a different place?"
"Naturally." Ye Linchen said with a smile.
As soon as these words fell, Xie Yaoguang turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, leading Ye Linchen to a wide hall in the mansion. Although the hall was not far from her residence, it was naturally not so warm because she didn't come often, but it was still acceptable.
As soon as the two sat down, Xie Yaoguang instructed the attendants to prepare refreshments to serve the guests.
When the maid came back, Qingluan also happened to bring the medicine over. Because she was still sick, Xie Zhanyi didn't let her drink tea, but prepared some wine made from precious medicinal herbs for her, saying that it could invigorate the blood and nourish the lungs, and asked her to drink some every day.
"I remember you weren't allowed to drink before? How to drink well. The two sat opposite each other, and Ye Linchen smelled a rich aroma of wine as soon as they came to the end of the medicine.
"That was true before. However, the third brother recently told me that this also works. Xie Yaoguang shook the wine cup in his hand and smiled, "But in my opinion, there is no difference between the two, they are so bitter and unbearable." ”
When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang drank half of the wine in the cup, but she only drank half of it, and her face became drunk. The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and glanced at Ye Linchen lazily, the appearance of being drunk was extremely interesting, and her eyes were filled with a tender smile like water.
Seeing her appearance, Ye Linchen couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Originally, I wanted to ask my father to take you to the palace for a banquet." But thinking about it dispelled that thought. ”520
"Your Highness, did you kill a few scoundrels in the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago?" After taking the last sip, Xie Yaoguang put the wine glass back into the red lacquer plate, and then frowned: "Could it be that Your Highness, you know that those people are the people of King Shou?"
"I don't know. But since they dare to molest women in public, they deserve to die according to the law of the calendar. Ye Linchen was surprised that Xie Yaoguang didn't remember this incident, and responded calmly.
"Then Yaoguang thinks that His Highness shouldn't move this hand." Suppressing the surprise that flashed under his eyes, Xie Yaoguang's tone was slightly dull.
Without waiting for Ye Linchen to speak, Xie Yaoguang shook his head as if he saw through his surprise at a glance. After getting up and pacing to the front of the bookcase, he wrote a few words, and invited him to come over and take a look, "Your Highness, can anyone else see you when you do this?"
"Nope." His eyes fell on Xie Yaoguang's exposed half-cut snow neck, Ye Linchen couldn't help but hook his lips and said in a gentle tone, "I wasn't thinking about them at the time, I just told Huangfu Ling to properly handle this matter." But what's wrong? ”
"That's not true, it's just that if His Highness encounters this kind of thing again in the future, he can completely hand them over to Jing Zhaoyin. Why bother to condescend to deal with it yourself? Xie Yaoguang put the pen aside and handed over the written things.
Glancing at the paper in front of Xie Yaoguang, Ye Linchen took it curiously. What is written above are the tenure and positions of the incumbent officials in the two branches of the Xu family, and several of them have been specially annotated with a red pen.
After being silent for a long time, Ye Linchen raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yaoguang, "Do you want to move the Xu family?"
"Definitely. If one Xue family has been moved, and then other balances will be broken, and the situation will be chaotic. Xie Yaoguang shook his head and sighed, "I remember that I said to His Highness earlier, how can I not use it because the water is turbid, and the water is clear." The Xu family is not the only one Xu Fuguo available......"
"Do you mean that this king suppresses the Xu family and then supports the people with lofty ideals among them? Take the opportunity to control the Xu family. ”
Hearing this, Ye Linchen looked sideways at Xie Yaoguang, and his tone was full of doubts.
"Yes, yes. After His Royal Highness ascended the throne, he had to select talents. Only talent and talent can stabilize the situation and win people's hearts. When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang's eyes were full of smiles.
From the very beginning, Xie Yaoguang never thought of annihilating the Xu family, she knew very well that the foundation of the Xu family was no worse than the Gu family, and it was equal to the Lu family. There is only one point that Mrs. Xu bears the honorific title of Mrs. Xu, which makes his eyes and thoughts change, and he refuses to move away from one place, but is easy to fall into trouble. But not everyone in the Xu family has the same idea as their father and son, for example, there are a few people in the side branch who have other ideas. However, he has been pressed on it by the grandson, and he can't move even if he has the mind.
Ye Linchen stared at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to these people." If it is really a person of insight, I am willing to keep them. It's just that how do you think the two of us can make them fall apart? ”
"I remember that Xu Yiai, the eldest son of the second room of the Xu family, has always loved painting, but unfortunately his temperament is too upright, and it has always been difficult to reuse." Xie Yaoguang frowned and thought for a while, "However, he has a wife, although he is jealous of his name, but he has always been riddled with serious illnesses, and his time is short." If Your Highness has this in mind, I can think of a way to set up a situation and make talents. ”
"Mrs. Xu's beloved? I've heard Xia Fu mention it, and everyone else said that his wife was jealous, and only Fang Yiai regarded her as the pearl of her palm. Xia Fu said that every time they got together and mentioned his wife, Xu Yiai always smirked and said that they didn't know what a husband was. Looking at Xie Yaoguang in Guan'er, Ye Linchen couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
He could understand why Xu Yiai would say such a thing. Others may be sympathetic to him, but they are afraid that he himself is willing, thinking of this, Ye Linchen inexplicably looked forward to seeing Xie Yaoguang's jealous appearance. It's going to be a lot of fun to think about.
