Chapter 286: Crazy
The queen originally used the excuse that the three princes needed to experience and study, and wanted to enter the martial arts arena, so that while the three princes could study, the Geng family could also reap the benefits.
But they were all rejected by the emperor, the queen lost all her face, and the harem talked about it a lot.
This matter is because of the presence of the Seventh Prince, the Geng family does not dare to act if they want to destroy it, the Seventh Prince, but in his early years, he came back from the battlefield, and his face withdrew early because of the injury, and he also kept his wealth because of the blessing of misfortune, and now he is not minded by the emperor to be reused, and his status is also very stable, and he and his younger brother Lao Shi have become the emperor's eyes and ears in the clan, and the figure of the right-hand man.
The Geng family did not dare to provoke the prince of the clan, for fear of being attacked fiercely, and they did not dare to make a big move.
It can be seen that Cui Xiangye was far-sighted and proposed early to let the prince take a share in the martial arts arena, otherwise they would not be able to keep this business, and now it seems that it is really wise.
It will take a few months for the martial arts arena to be completed, but the Geng family and the people behind them have come up with various means, which can be described as a renovation of tricks, and the trouble in private is white-hot.
Yang Houye came back and specially explained the things outside to the children, but he didn't want the children to be too naΓ―ve and stupid, and they should understand.
Zilan's face turned a little pale after hearing this, for the sake of a little profit, she actually made a fuss like this.
"Grandpa, is that fifth-grade official really dead?"
She was a little incredulous, her expression was very serious, for the benefit of the martial arts arena, she had already died a fifth-grade official, a person from the Ministry of Industry, who died unexpectedly.
Yang Houye glanced at his granddaughter's pale face, and still said with a solemn expression, "That's right, what I found this morning is already cold, and it is said that I fell into the river when I was drunk."
But he has a problem, he is allergic to alcohol and has a rash all over his body, so everyone in the Ministry of Industry knows that he never drinks alcohol, and he always uses tea instead of wine. β
Zilan's eyes were extremely shocked, her face was a little gray, she swallowed her saliva, and only felt cold all over.
"I, shouldn't I talk nonsense in front of the emperor, I'm too sassy. I didn't expect it to kill people. β
Although I know that it is not my fault, I still feel heavy in my heart.
"It has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault, it's the emperor who asked about you, sister, don't think about it.
Xiang Ye just built a ladder, Xiang Ye didn't say it, the emperor will also find an opportunity to come to you, the emperor has been paying attention to it for a while, and he has asked me several times, sooner or later. Whether he dies or not has nothing to do with you. β
Yang Yu immediately opened her mouth to refute, her sister is too kind-hearted, she has never seen a dead person scared, and what does it have to do with others if she harms her life for personal gain.
"It's like, it's none of your business, don't think about it."
Shuhui held her hand slightly, hoping to give her a little strength and support.
Xuan'er also looked at her worriedly, didn't say a word, poured her a cup of hot water and put it in the palm of her hand to warm up.
Zilan wiped her face, the dead person was inevitably uncomfortable, thought more, and sighed, "I'm fine, it's just a little bit of a bull's horn for a while, and when I heard the news, my heart was so heavy that I couldn't breathe." β
"I'm telling you this to be a little more vigilant and more cautious. Things out there aren't as simple as you think. β
Yang Houye is also to remind the children.
"Yes."
Everyone nodded together in response, and Zilan also firmly remembered that if there is something in the future, it should be discussed with the elders first, and you must not be impulsive again.
"This incident has nothing to do with Lan'er, it's just an excuse to use interests as an excuse to involve party disputes, and take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, you don't have to think too much. That's why I don't want to get involved in this business. β
Xianglou just makes a little money, most of the money is given to the emperor, and the two of them don't take much, so everyone will tolerate them, and they will not be looking for trouble.
It's different than the martial arts field, look at it, it hasn't been built yet, and an official has died, if you can spare them if you make money, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.
"Then the Yu family is a relative of our family, will it ......?"
Zilan suddenly thought of something, worried that something else would happen.
Yang Hou Ye smiled, "Don't worry, it makes sense for Xiang Ye to choose the Yu family, the elders of the Yu family and the two dynasties are highly valued, and they remain neutral in their ups and downs, but they are also the most trusted family of the emperor, far more than me, when the emperor ascended the throne, the Yu family protected the palace, and I was not qualified." β
"That's good, it looks like I'm thinking too much."
Zilan laughed awkwardly.
"Don't worry, with your grandfather and elders watching, you can't make a big mistake, you just think about it a lot."
Shuhui pinned the broken hair of her sideburns behind her ears for her, and looked at her and sighed distressedly.
"Now the court is fighting so hard, I really didn't expect it."
After Zilan took a sip of tea and soothed her emotions, she quickly calmed down, thought about the problem calmly, and realized that the situation became more and more severe as the princes grew up.
"Well, the princes are all older, the situation in the court is not optimistic, and our families have not been co-opted, and all kinds of coping are very troublesome.
Recently, you girls have rarely gone out, and you have to bring enough people when you go out, the people of the Geng family have always been ruthless and leave no room for anything, I am afraid that they will come back hard, arrest you and threaten us, it's not like I haven't done such a thing before. β
"Is Grandpa Geng's family very powerful?"
Zilan didn't understand why she couldn't dispose of the Geng family earlier, and she had to wait for him to be big before he came to worry about it, what was the reason for it?
"You don't understand, the Geng family didn't have so much power back then, but after the queen gave birth to a son, she was once discussed as a prince, and the court was worried about internal and external troubles, and the princes were planning to embarrass the emperor everywhere, in order to balance the relationship between all parties. supported the Geng family.
In the early years, the emperor was very jealous of the family, and there was a lot of suppression, and when the emperor's generation came, there was a fault in the family, and there was no backbone of the family, so it was difficult to deal with the powerful prince, especially several princes united to deal with the emperor, it was even more difficult.
At that time, the Geng family was not so arrogant, the power was monstrous, and the behavior was quite regular, but in private they already had ambitions and wanted to let the Geng family have an emperor. Therefore, helping the queen eradicate dissidents in the harem and expanding her power in the previous dynasty, your grandfather's death was just an inducement to erupt.
To be precise, your grandfather died in the struggle for power, and the emperor was shocked to realize that the Geng family had done a lot of things behind his back, and began to be wary of the empress family.
Maybe it's the wicked who have a heavenly harvest, the queen's sister-in-law died of illness, the queen was hit, and the Geng family had no prince for a few years, and the emperor began to promote the family without disguise.
Because your grandfather died for the emperor, so the Song family got a lot of opportunities, the Song family is upright, low-key and forbearing, and the development of these years has brought about today's peace, and the marriage between the Song family and my family is also to seek support and fight against the Geng family together. β
A family is mixed with so many entanglements, but the result is always good, parents love each other, and they are also people with positive views, and they treat each other sincerely.
Yang Hou Ye looked at the several girls and taught earnestly, "You girls always think about things very simply, and think that marriage should not be mixed with so many entanglements of interests.
But you must also understand that if there is no entanglement of interests, you are of no use. If you are useless, your husband's family will definitely take a fancy to you? β
