Chapter 277: Monarchs and Ministers Have Different Hearts
When Cheng Haitang asked the sentence "Am I still your relative", Xie Ruizhu was in a trance, as if he saw Haitang in his previous life saying sadly and angrily: If I choose to be a concubine or a doctor, I would rather choose the latter.
No, don't! Begonia, let's not do this!
Xie Ruijiao's heart suddenly hurt, what's wrong with him, he has to make the people he loves tense? He came back for her, and it was never what he wanted......
After Haitang asked that sentence, when he saw Xie Ruijiao's eyes that instantly became painful, he immediately regretted it: What's wrong with me? Obviously we love each other like that, why should we hurt each other?
So when Xie Ruijiao didn't say a word, took her in his arms, and buried his head in her neck socket, Haitang also hugged him tightly, pressing his lips against his hair. Xie Ruijiao felt her, turned his head, and kissed her on the lips.
Under a kiss, the hearts of the two finally put aside their troubles and reunited. Xie Ruijiao decided to explain this matter to her.
"Prince Xiang is my own uncle, and he has been helping me before I ascended the throne, why should I be ruthless? Could it be that Xie Ruijiao, who you know, is a person who crosses the river and demolishes bridges? Except for what he and Yili Wang said at the wedding banquet, I don't know what his purpose was, he has not changed his name for Xie Pingkun. ”
Xie Ruijiao took Haitang to sit down on the soft couch, and said: "I asked the Zongren Mansion, and the old prince said that he had destroyed Prince Xiang many times, and Prince Xiang always didn't care. Think about it, is he doing this for Pingkun? ”
"There are a total of eleven vassal kings outside, Prince De has been suppressed by his father for many years, and he has been weak, and Prince Xiang is the most powerful among the vassal kings, and the number of his troops greatly exceeds the range allowed by the imperial court. If I don't take this opportunity to extinguish his spirit, the vassal kings will think that the central government is powerless to contain the localities, and then the vassal kings will rebel and be ready to come out. ”
Haitang likes to listen to Xie Ruijiao, and when he speaks, the bass in the dantian gives people a sense of tranquility, peace and trustworthiness.
Xie Ruijiao smiled at her and said: "After copying Prince Xiang's house, giving him less capital to rebel, and taking away his right to inherit the title of prince, he has no hope of turning the tables." As for Ping Kun, things started because of him, and his life in Prince Xiang's Mansion will definitely not be easy. But he can only accept his fate, and it is impossible to change the genealogy again. ”
Haitang sighed, and only said one sentence: "That table of dishes, I feel that I haven't done anything for you for a long time, so I did it, not to be a lobbyist......"
"Blame me for talking nonsense, not next time."
"I shouldn't have forced you to ......"
The two laughed at the same time, and the clouds cleared.
Of course, Xie Ruizhu would not tell Haitang that he gave the order to Dongchang, and he didn't want any irrelevant people to affect their feelings. As for why Ping Kun died in an accident, that's not something he has to explain.
The husband and wife in Xuanyun Palace are as reconciled as ever, but the ministers outside the palace are uneasy.
In Fan's mansion, Fan Yongcheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was furious.
Lord Fan's hand holding his daughter's letter trembled slightly: "Your Majesty...... It's so ruthless! Without the right of succession to the prince's title, it is equivalent to the palace of the prince of Xiang, and one generation will die. When Prince Xiang passed away and lost his fief, what would Wan'er and Shizi live on? ”
"You can't blame the emperor for this...... Prince Xiang is also too arrogant. Father may not know that Prince Xiang has already exceeded the upper limit stipulated by your military department, and this is still a year ago, when his son went to Prince Xiang's mansion to give a New Year's gift, the prince told me personally. ”
The eldest son Fan Yi said about the over-limit garrison, Lord Fan didn't know, but felt that Prince Xiang was a hero of the generation, and he was the secretary of the military department. It seems that he underestimated the emperor......
"We all misjudged the emperor. King Xian and King Kang competed, but King Duan became the crown prince; The queen and Concubine Ji competed, and it was the crown prince who successfully ascended the throne. Although there are several princes who support it, the most important layout is arranged by the emperor......" Lord Fan sighed.
Fan Yi said again: "It's better to discuss with Prince Xiang, let the prince and Wan'er return to Beijing, while Prince Xiang is still there, as the prince, in a certain career in the capital, even if he loses the title of prince in the future, he is still canonized as the prince, is it possible that the emperor will not even recognize the identity of his cousin?" ”
Fan Yi didn't know that his idea was the same as what Prince Xiang thought, and at the same time that Fan Fu received Wan'er's letter, Prince Xiang's prince asked for his return and asked to serve in the six ministries, and the excerpt also came to the emperor.
In terms of grade, the prince should be given a second-grade official position. But the emperor waved his pen and only approved the priest of the five-grade rite department.
Prince Xiang's son Xie Guangyu, at the age of ten he left Kyoto with Prince Xiang and was sealed, although he was already in his twenties, he did not know much about the people in the capital. The emperor asked him to start from the five pinlang of the Ministry of Rites, also to make it easier for him to gain a foothold in the capital.
But this kindness, in the eyes of Prince Xiang and Fan Yongcheng, became an insult and malice.
Xie Guangyan, who took office on the first day, did not enter the palace to thank him, and his father-in-law Fan Yongcheng set up a family banquet for him in the mansion. Fan Yunwan married the prince at the age of fifteen, and now it seems that she can only be the princess for the rest of her life, and her son can only rely on herself to fight for fame. Who willing?
"What if you are unwilling? Can it still be reversed? Xie Pingkun fell into the pond and drowned inexplicably, and the two little guys who followed him couldn't remember what happened. My father and I both suspected that this was the emperor's handiwork, but there was no evidence. Those who sit in that position will never be soft-hearted. ”
Xie Guangyan did not shy away from his father-in-law's house, and his ancestors did not have a precedent for his uncle to turn against his nephew, but Prince Xiang's mansion was raided by the emperor first, and the gold and silver military funds accumulated over the years were all included in the treasury, and the private soldiers were also incorporated into the local army. If you want to do the opposite, it is a moth to a fire.
"Although we can't oppose it, we can also form our own party and develop our own power like King Kang. In front of the emperor, I will never be as close as Shen An and Sun Yang, and now with the matter of your house, the emperor will pull out my thorn sooner or later. Fan Yongcheng was completely shaken.
The emperor knew that Xie Guangyu had reported to the Ministry of Rites today, and he waited in the Wenhua Hall for a while, but he didn't see him come over to thank him, and the emperor was both expected and unexpected.
There is only one dragon chair in the world, but there are so many dragon sons and grandchildren.
Xie Ruijiao suddenly understood why the king of his previous life had to kill the old ministers who supported him on the throne after he became the emperor. If you can't control it, it's better to kill it. Is there only one way to go?
It wasn't until three days later that the emperor met his cousin Xie Guangyu. Although the prince was not as close to the emperor as the prince of the country, he also studied in the palace with several princes before leaving Beijing with his father. Although they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, the two still recognize each other as soon as they meet.
"Cousin, long time no see!"
"Don't dare. Weichen has seen the emperor. "Read the latest chapter of "Fengqi Begonia Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
