Chapter 26: The So-Called Factions

"Tell me, why did the finchman do this?" Xiao Shao lit the table and motioned for them to speak in turn, "You'er, you are the biggest, you should come first." ”

Xiao Shao nodded yes, and talked about his thoughts, he didn't know much about the prince's family affairs, all he knew was that Xiao Shao had nothing to do in the past few days to tell them about the ancient times, and his personal temperament was not clear, so he could only infer it from common sense, "I thought that this matter should be the hand of the crown princess, but at least Cousin Yu has a good impression of that lady, otherwise he would not personally convince His Majesty, besides, Cousin Yu's situation at home is not good, marrying a wife from a low background should also have the intention of retreating, which can be used to paralyze the crown princess, If the crown princess thinks that Cousin Yu is weak and can be bullied and becomes even worse, as long as Cousin Yu finds the right opportunity, he can completely pull the princess down. ”

Xiao Shao nodded, and Zijin took over the conversation, "Mr. Cui said that His Majesty is taboo about the world, and he also prevents the nobles of the founding of the country from becoming a new family, and Cousin Yu marrying a wife from a poor family should also have this consideration, after all, if the uncle," Zijin pointed to the sky, "Cousin Yu's situation is not good, if he can be named by His Majesty, his future status will have an extra layer of security." ”

If Emperor Xuanwu is established as the grandson, it can not only consolidate the status of the prince, but also ensure his absolute superiority in inheritance.

Wang Yan's opinion was similar to that of Zijin, and he only added one point, "I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also see Cousin Yu's purpose, and even helped Cousin Yu, after all, this matter has nothing to do with the Prince's benefit, which can not only weaken the power of the future heir, but also curry favor with Your Majesty to consolidate himself." ”

Wang Yuan looked at the children in a daze, and you said a word, Xiao Yu's marriage involved the power struggle between the next generation of emperors and the crown prince, especially the prince who was seriously described as an old treacherous and cunning, and before he ascended the throne, he began to guard against his son's lust for profit, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Then he pinched Xiao Shao's arm and asked, "I handed over the child to you, that's how you taught the child?" ”

"It's not good to have a few more eyes." Xiao Shao was unmoved, he was actually more willing to regard Wang Yuan's accusation as flirting, "Besides, if they are unhappy, I can still force them to think about it." ”

"What? If you don't teach them, you can't do it without a teacher? Wang Yuan sneered.

Seeing that his parents ignored their existence again, Zijin pulled Xiao Yan's sleeve and slipped out of the house with Wang Yan.

"Aya and A-Niang are always like this, they just throw us aside as they talk, and Brother just get used to it." Zijin said with a serious sigh.

Xiao Yuan, who was forced to understand a lot of news that was inappropriate for children, rubbed Zijin's head and said with a smile: "That's the good relationship between Aya and A-Niang." ”

Zijin propped her head and didn't answer, of course she knew that this was the good relationship between Aya and A-Niang, but the atmosphere between her parents was too harmonious and always made her feel that she was superfluous.

Fortunately, there is Tan Nu with him, and now there is another big brother.

Sitting under the porch and thinking about it for a long time, Zijin couldn't help it, she was originally an idle character, she always felt that she was the eldest in the family, and she had to set an example for her younger siblings with a calm temperament, and she could study slowly with patience, plus Cui Rang's assignment was quite heavy, and she didn't have much time to run around and play, at most she had a meal outside the house, and now she had an extra brother on her head, although Zijin felt that she was still a big responsibility, but with Xiao Yuan's share, she loosened the string in her heart a little, and this time became more and more lively.

"Shall we go fishing?"

Zijin stood up and felt that he had come up with a brilliant idea, but he didn't want Wang Yan to even look at him, and even Xiao Yan showed a look of embarrassment.

"Sister, look up at the sun outside, I can't compare with Sister, Sister is not afraid of heat stroke, just go, my brother doesn't dare to go."

Wang Yan mercilessly pointed out the facts, helpless in his heart, my sister can't tan, what if he gets a tan?

"Then what are we going to do, it's so boring."

Zijin sat down again dejectedly, tugging at the belt of his chest, he used to be busy when he had a lot of schoolwork, but now he was so bored when he was suddenly idle, he couldn't even find something to play with.

Not to mention Wang Yan, who is not only bored but also has a hot headache, and he can't be interested in doing anything.

Xiao Yan looked at Wang Yan's listless appearance, afraid that he would suffer from heat stroke after sitting outside for a long time, so he simply pulled them back to his yard, "You are also idle, it is better to tell me about the situation of other families in detail, and it will save me from making jokes when I don't know the situation at that time." ”

This is the right thing, Zijin and they naturally know everything and say everything, for fear that Xiao Yu will not know how to offend people and not know it, if it is counted on the head of Yanwang Mansion, it is fine, if it is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, it is tricky to only remember Xiao Yu alone.

"Did Brother memorize the Clan Chronicle that my mother gave you?"

In order to take care of the relationship between the families, Wang Yuan deliberately summarized a relationship spectrum centered on the Yanwang Mansion, which is the basis for sorting out the relationship between the families, if you can't figure out the intertwined relationship between the in-laws and the old factions between the nobles of Jinling, it is a joke to want to gain a foothold in Jinling.

"I've got it down."

"That's good, then I'll say it first, let Tannu add it."

Zijin recalled the clan chronicles and the various military general factions that Cui Rang told her, and slowly spoke, "Because most of the people who deal with Yanwangfu are military generals and nobles, so I will start with the military generals, and now the military generals above the third grade in the court can probably be divided into three factions, one is His Majesty's people, one is the people of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and the other is the two who do not help each other, and some of them are promoted by the prince." ”

"Of course, this faction is not absolute, for example, Liu An, the general who was transferred to the Wude Hall a few years ago, he is the old minister left by Empress Xiaowu to Emperor Xuanwu, his son served as the chief of the guard in the East Palace, and he also studied with the prince back then, so he has a good relationship with the prince, one of her daughters entered the criminal department as a servant after learning first-hand medical skills, and she is quite sympathetic to the queen, so he has a good relationship with several people."

"Your Majesty's people in addition to the Liang Guogong who was personally raised, there are Chen Guogong, Zheng Guogong and Cai Guogong who stayed when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor, and most of the people of Her Royal Highness the Queen were left by the queen's father, Her Royal Highness the queen inherited the ancestral industry in the three southern states and confronted Emperor Xiaowu across the river, but later for the sake of righteousness, Her Royal Highness the queen agreed to the marriage with today, and the generals of the southern family were also preserved, such as Zhao Guogong, Liang Guogong, Wei Guogong, Weiyuan Hou, as for the neutral generals, they were faintly headed by Han Gong."

"There are seven seats in the Wude Palace, according to the customary rules, four men and three women, but it is not static, and now the seven generals in the Wude Hall are Chen Guogong, Wei Guogong, Han Gong, Cai Guogong, Weiyuan Hou, Ning'an Hou, Dingyuan Hou, of which Wei Guogong, Weiyuan Hou, Ning'an Hou are the three queens, and the rest also have their own positions."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but interrupt Zijin, "Is Ning Anhou also a member of Her Royal Highness the Empress?" ”
