As soon as the steward who came to Xie Huilian's house to invite someone returned to the main house, he went to see Xie Hongwei, the current sect leader of the Xie family. It's just that when he arrived at the study, Xie Hongwei was discussing with others, and the steward had to wait outside for almost an hour before he was able to enter.

Xie Hongwei saw the steward, and it seemed that he couldn't remember what he had sent this person to do for a while. It wasn't until the steward reminded him that he had an impression.

"So you didn't go into the yard? Nor did you see who lived in it? ”

The steward shook his head with some guilt: "It's not good for a slave to do things." The little Langjun who served the nobles at the door looked thin, but he knew how to do some work, he blocked the door, and the slave couldn't squeeze in even if he wanted to. ”

Xie Hong pondered for a moment and then asked, "That Xiao Langjun calls his master a son?" ”

The steward nodded in affirmation, "That's why the slave hurried back and forth." When the slave went to invite someone today, he was driving an ordinary carriage in the house, and the little Langjun looked at it and seemed to be very disdainful. ”

"If you are not a descendant of the king's grandson, you can't call it ......a prince," Xie Hong thought slightly, "Which royal child has hidden his identity to travel?" ”

The steward reminded him and said, "The sect master said before that the reason why Xie Fangming sat in the position of the county guard of Huiji so quickly was because of the help of nobles. I wonder if it's this son? ”

Xie Hongwei regretted it a little, "Nine times out of ten, yes." It was Xu Xianzhi who directly promoted Fang Ming at the beginning. I was still wondering how Fang Ming, a local official, got on board with this court official. Later, Xu Xianzhi was given death by the emperor ......"

Xie Hongwei didn't say anything, but the steward knew it in his heart. Since Xu Xianzhi's death, the main mansion that originally looked down on Xie Fangming's family has changed again. ignored his family, and even had a faint tendency to exclude him. Speaking of which, I am also afraid that Xie Fangming's family will be too deeply involved with Xu Xianzhi, and in the end they will not die well.

can see that Xu Xianzhidu has been dead for almost two years. Xie Fangming's official is still doing a good job. And Xie Huilian not only showed his face in front of the emperor after successfully inviting him back to the jade seal. Today, another noble man is visiting. It's so elusive......

Xie Hongwei asked the steward again: "Did the people in the carriage show their faces when they entered the city?" ”

The steward hurriedly replied, "The slave went and asked." When the carriage entered the city, the door was opened, and inside was a young gentleman. It is said that his appearance is extraordinary. is the two guards of the carriage, and they are also unearthly, where they look like ordinary guards, even if it is not an exaggeration to say which Langjun is. ”

Xie Hongwei eliminated the possible people one by one in his mind, and finally said with some hesitation: "Could it be Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng?" ”

The steward was taken aback: "What is King Pengcheng doing in our Chen County?" It can't really be that Lian Xiaolangjun came to see him, right? Besides, the prince must not leave the territory unless he edicts. He's ......," the steward swallowed, and then lowered his voice, "It's a sin to kill your head." ”

Xie Hong said with a solemn face: "If it is another prince, I am afraid that it is the crime of killing the head." This king of Pengcheng is different......"

Xie Hongwei naturally wouldn't tell a little steward that there were signs of change in the imperial court. The emperor has not been getting better since he got seriously ill last autumn. In the past six months, the days of the emperor's reign have been numbered, and most of the political affairs have been handled by Wang Hong, Wang Hua and Wang Tanshou.

is also a top clan, Xie Hongwei is very clear about the way of life of the Langya Wang family. So when Sikong Wang Hong asked the emperor to resign, Xie Hongwei was not surprised at all.

The three brothers of the Langya Wang family are all in important positions. It looks prominent for a while, but it is actually full of dangers. The reason why the hundred-year-old clan has been able to maintain its prominence for several generations is that they will never give everything for the emperor of any dynasty. Whether it is financial or human, they will always keep the front line for themselves.

Although the three high-ranking officials of the Langya Wang clan can make the entire clan prosperous, they can accompany the king like a tiger, once things change, the Wang family will naturally lose everything. The Wang family would never allow this kind of thing, so Wang Hong's resignation at this time was just right.

The emperor's illness has not yet recovered, and the government cannot be wrong, so the emperor naturally will not agree to Wang Hong's request to resign. Wang Hong recommended Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, to the emperor and asked the emperor to let Liu Yikang enter the palace to assist in the government.

This King of Pengcheng is the fourth son of Gaozu Liu Yu and the second brother of the current emperor. Now the seventh prince, who is closest to the emperor, is still young and can't afford it. The fourth prince became the best candidate to assist the government.

Although Wang Hong's recommendation was temporarily shelved by the emperor, if Xie Huilian's family was really the king of Pengcheng, then this matter was already imperative. King Pengcheng was just waiting for the will to enter the palace in Chenjun.

Xie Hongwei's heart was like a drum when he thought of this, looking at the emperor's illness, I am afraid that the future government will be decided by King Pengcheng. If you can't say it, you have to change the sky......

Xie Hongwei was very entangled at this time. No matter what the reason for King Pengcheng lived in Xie Huilian's house, it was very likely that it was a chance to fall from the sky, or it could be a sword hanging over the head of the Xie clan!

Xie Hongwei was in a dilemma, and if he climbed this high branch, the Xie family would be able to turn over. even re-equaled with the Wang family in the court. But once you make a mistake, the emperor will investigate it, and it will be a rebellion! The current Xie family can't bear this kind of crime no matter what.

Xie Hongwei himself is a very conservative and self-conscious person. In the end, he decided that he just didn't want to offend the king of Pengcheng. He waved his hand at the steward, "Since the distinguished guest does not want to see him, you can send some things and the servants and maidservants over." After Fang Ming's family moved to Huiji, there was only Xiao Langjun left in the family, and there was no one in charge. You can't snub the guests and lose the courtesy of the Xie family. ”

The steward listened to the strings and immediately went down to prepare. Early in the morning of the second day, he brought a mighty group of people to Xie Huilian's house again.

This time he came early, just in time for Xie Huilian to go out to the school. Mo Yao told him to hurry up to school and not be late, but he still blocked the door and answered the steward.

The things sent by the Xie family are everything. From food to food, everything is complete, and the specifications are very high-end. It was Mo Yao who grew up in Tan's house since he was a child, and he also followed Invite Yu to go south and north, and he was also taken aback.

After asking Tan to invite the rain, Mo Yao thanked his "son" on behalf of his own "son", and then accepted all the gifts, but the servants all retreated. It is said that the son does not like to be served.

The steward had guessed that this would be the result, and being able to send things out was already considered to have completed the task assigned by the sect master. Immediately, he didn't stay long, so that Mo Yao would send someone to the main house to get it if he lacked anything. Be sure to let the "childe" live comfortably.

After thanking him and sending off the steward, Mo Yao walked back to the courtyard. Tan Yuyu was picking and choosing things in a yard.

Mo Yao was a little uncertain in his heart, "Girl, isn't this a lot of things?" ”

Invite Yu immediately taught Mo Yao a lesson: "Call Childe, and you should do this when there is no one." Otherwise, you'll be talking about leaks on the outside. She touched a brocade quilt sent by the Xie family, and the corner of the quilt turned out to be a palm-sized jade jue, which is not a regulation that ordinary people can use.

"It seems that Sect Master Xie has indeed mistaken me for someone else...... However, this also confirms the news from Jiankang before, King Pengcheng is about to enter the palace. ”
