Section 004 Family affairs to be determined

"What did the emperor say to the Hou Ye?" The old lady's heart was shocked, but she quickly collected her emotions, and her voice was calm and kind. Years of precipitation, practice to become indifferent.

The old marquis looked at it and smiled with relief, and the gloom just now was reduced by three points.

Even if he dies tomorrow and leaves the old lady in charge, he can still keep the family home safe.

"The emperor asked me to explain Sima Wenzheng's Zizhi Tongjian......" The old marquis's voice was still slight, and he sighed deeply, "I don't know what the emperor means, he asked one by one, and I said one by one." Just sat down and only two teas, Xiao Guogong came. ”

Xiao Guogong refers to the queen's father, Xiao Yanfei, who is one of the three princes.

When the first emperor was alive, he took a fancy to Xiao Yanfei, the secretary of the military department, and named his young daughter the crown princess. In his later years, he was afraid that the princes would usurp the throne, and the prince would not be able to cope with it, so he promoted Xiao Yanfei to be the prince of the dynasty, firstly to assist the monarch, and secondly, to assist the prince to successfully practice Zuo.

The crown prince became Emperor Yuanchang, Xiao Guogong was still the prince, and his daughter became the empress.

Old Madam Xue listened to the deep meaning of the old marquis's words, thought about it for a while, and said: "The emperor and the marquis are talking in the imperial study, but after two teas, Xiao Guogong rushed to ...... In the deep courtyard of the palace, the emperor can no longer be the master of the house......"

At the last sentence, her voice was low.

Old Marquis Xue bowed his head very seriously, and did not blame the old lady for trespassing. When a woman talks about the politics of the court, she loses her duty, but the old marquis was accustomed to the wisdom and shrewdness of the old lady in his early years, and he is always willing to talk to the old lady no matter what major matters in the court.

The old lady grew up with her father when she was young, and acted as a male parent, and the history books are still more familiar than the old marquis, and the disadvantages of the needle are incisive and accurate.

"The official of Xiao Guo worships Taifu, holds military and political power, and his party members are all over the world, and the court has long been his one hand covering the sky, and he is even more arrogant than three years ago. Now, not only the court, but also the royal compound, the Royal Forest Army is nine times out of ten Xiao Guogong's people......" Old Marquis Xue secretly carried a trace of anger in his tone.

The old lady quietly refilled a cup of hot tea for him.

"The emperor asked me to explain the history books, and I will talk about it. I spoke for three hours, and Xiao Guogong sat on the side for three hours. When it was about to lunch, the emperor said that the queen had been in poor health recently, and asked Grandpa Guo to take a look. Xiao Guogong left. As soon as he left, the emperor looked at me and said, 'Marquis Zhenxian, this imperial study is about to be surnamed Xiao, what is my name Emperor Yuanchang, I will be called Emperor Han Xian instead!' ’。 Old Marquis Xue put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table.

The corners of the old lady's eyes jumped, her heart burst suddenly, and she tightly grasped the corner of the pillow.

Emperor Han Xian, the puppet emperor who was pinched in the palm of Cao Cao's hand?

"What did Master Hou say?" The old lady's voice tightened.

Old Marquis Xue knew that she was worried, his eyes were decadent, and he sighed: "What can I say? I had to pretend to be stupid and ask the emperor, where is Uncle Liu and where is Sun Zhongmou......"

The old lady's face was a little pale, and her lips moved slightly.

The court battle has always been cruel, even if it is a century-old family, if you are not careful, you will raid the family and exterminate the family.

The old marquis has been cautious all his life, but in his old age, he wants to be involved in such a dispute?

The old lady was shocked.

"The emperor didn't hold on to it, let me accompany me to lunch, just talk about family affairs, and treat me as an elder to complain. He said that the queen was not in good health, she had not been pregnant for many years, and she was ruthless to other concubines, and she had already lost the virtue of motherhood. Next year, the emperor will practice Zuo for three years, and in May, he will select beauties to fill the harem. He also said that the second prince was talented and intelligent, and that Xue Guifei was virtuous and generous, humble and gentle...... "Old Marquis Xue looked at the old lady, and the tiredness in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

The old lady's face was even more ugly.

The emperor is bribing Old Marquis Xue!

first said that the queen was immoral, and then said that Xue Guifei had a good character, and the second prince was smart and pure, so he wanted to tell the old marquis Xue that if he could assist the emperor in eradicating Xiao Guogong, he would abolish Empress Xiao, set up Xue Dongjing as the queen, and named the second prince of Xue Guifei's son as the crown prince.

He also said that the palace would be widely elected next year, which meant that if the Xue family still had a daughter, they could be sent to the palace as the imperial concubine.

If such a splashing kindness is thrown down, anyone will be moved, right?

But the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, if Xiao Guogong is eradicated, who else is more powerful than the old Marquis Xue in the entire court?

Those who have made the world are in danger!

"Master Hou!" The old lady couldn't calm down anymore, "You can't ......"

"I understand, Madame, rest assured. When the emperor said these words, I was pretending to be stupid and didn't promise anything. Old Marquis Xue pulled the pillow behind him and leaned on it obliquely, "I lost my father at the age of fifteen, and I inherited the Marquis of Zhenxian, after three dynasties, what wind and waves have I never seen?" At this age, I only hope that my children and grandchildren will be safe and healthy, and the family will be prosperous, and there will be no interest in the affairs of the DPRK and China. If it weren't for the concubine Niangniang's repeated summons, saying that the new emperor ascended the throne, let me see the second prince and her sake, and assist for a few years, I would have retired to the countryside a long time ago! Teasing my grandson and raising my children is what I should do at this age! ”

The old lady's breath on her chest was slowly lowered.

"The Imperial Forest Army are all Xiao Guogong's people, if there is any trouble, the noble concubine and the second prince will ......," Old Madam Xue muttered, "Master Hou, Brother Yu'er, you should warn you." If there is something abnormal, the concubine is afraid, and as soon as she recruits Brother Yu in, he acts rashly, but instead plunges our Xue family into a quagmire...... Rong there, I'll go and say! ”

Brother Yu refers to Xue Ziyu, the eldest son of the old marquis of Xue, the prince of the Zhenxian Marquis Mansion.

Although Xue Ziyu is forty-five years old, the official is the head of the household department, the father of the noble concubine, and the minister of one party, in the heart of Mrs. Xue, he will always be the brother who grew up under his knees!

Rong is the wife of the prince and the biological mother of the concubine.

The concubine Niangniang is the eldest daughter of Xue Ziyu. Xue Ziyu took advantage of the prestige of the old marquis, under the protection of the Xue family's court, and had a smooth career in his life, and never experienced a big storm.

Xue Ziyu doesn't have the insight of Old Marquis Xue!

"Not only Brother Yu'er and his wife, but also the concubine Niangniang, I also have to tell a few words: the most important thing before is forbearance!" Old Marquis Xue sighed, "As long as she and the second prince can endure it and are willing to bow down and be small, after this storm, their mother and son will have a bright future!" ”

Mrs. Xue said: "In a few days, I will hand the sign to the concubine and go in to see their mother and son." ”

After saying that, she frowned slightly, "But the emperor won't let go of Lord Hou easily." Xiao Guogong is not removed, the emperor will not be able to sleep and eat, and the only thing he can rely on is our relatives......"

Before she finished speaking, she noticed that the smile on Old Marquis Xue's face was a little sly.

"You came up with a plan?" The old lady laughed too.

"When I was about to leave the palace, I saw Sheng Xiumu walking in front of the emperor and asked him how old he was this year and whether he was married. He said no, so I told the emperor that I should give Sheng Daren a family matter, and several girls in our family will be in the boudoir...... The emperor and Lord Sheng were very surprised, and it is estimated that Lord Sheng will discuss with Lord Sheng when he goes back, and he will talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

Sheng Hou Ye refers to Sheng Wenhui, Hou Shengchang, and the secretary of the military department.

Among the palace concubines of Emperor Yuanchang, there are only two concubines under the queen, except for Xue Guifei, the biological mother of the second prince, Sheng Guifei, the biological mother of the third prince, and the second lady of the Shengchang Marquis Mansion!

Master Sheng Xiu Mu Sheng in the mouth of Old Marquis Xue is the third son of Marquis Shengchang, and the fourth rank of the royal guard with a knife.

On the surface, Old Marquis Xue's idea is very unreliable.

If you think about it, it's a must!

If Empress Xiao is deposed, the only people in the palace who can be sealed are about Xue Guifei, the biological mother of the second prince, and Sheng Guifei, the biological mother of the third prince.

For the sake of the crown prince and the queen, the Xue family and the Sheng family will become enemies!

Even if she is not abolished, as long as the queen has no children, the crown prince will choose one of the two princes and the third prince. For the position of the East Palace, the Xue family and the Sheng family must have a vicious fight.

Even if there is no Xiao family, the Xue family and the Sheng family will never be allies for the sake of their respective rights and interests!

Now that Xiao Guogong has emptied the emperor's power, and also threatened the safety of the princes and concubines in the royal inner court, the Xue family is worried about Xue Guifei and the second prince, and the Sheng family is also worried about Sheng Guifei and the third prince.

With a common enemy, Old Marquis Xue proposed to form an alliance with the Sheng family, and they were likely to come together for common interests.

By the day Xiao Guogong was eradicated, the common enemy would disappear, and the alliance between the Xue family and the Sheng family would naturally collapse, and the emperor would not need to worry about the emergence of new henchmen and the empty of imperial power.

If the Sheng family is willing to tie up with the Xue family and deal with Xiao Guogong together, the old Marquis Xue will come forward to help the emperor; If the Sheng family held back and let Sheng Guifei and the three princes care, the Xue family would also ignore it for safety!

The Xue and Sheng clans formed an alliance, and the emperor did not have to worry about the other clan becoming stronger after the Xiao clan was eradicated, replacing the Xiao clan as the other Cao Cao of the imperial court; There is no need to worry about the private parties of the Xue and Sheng clans.

As long as the crown prince is undecided, the Xue and Sheng clans are natural enemies.

Tie the Xue and Sheng clans, who are natural enemies, together and let them deal with Xiao Guogong together.

When the bondage is gone, they are again two tribes against each other. The situation between the DPRK and China has been rebalanced.

"Master Hou, you are too insidious!" Old Madam Xue couldn't help laughing, "Such an idea, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't dare to think of it!" ”

Old Marquis Xue also smiled: "The current situation is like walking on thin ice, first pull the Sheng family over to support him, and then fight after this difficult period!" Sheng Changhou is a smart man, he will definitely understand what I mean, and this family business will be completed. When I get the letter tomorrow, you can think about it, which girl in our family will marry......"

Then the topic turned to the girl in the family who had not yet decided to marry.

"The girls in the big room, the third room, and the fourth room are all married, and the ones of the right age are only the little Wurong sister in the second room, the little Jiuyu sister in the fifth room, the little ten Wan sisters, the eleventh Shu sisters, and the twelve Lin sisters......" The old lady carefully told the old marquis about the granddaughter to be married in the family, "Sister Wan and Sister Shu are concubines, and the Sheng family is afraid that they will not agree, so only Sister Rong, Sister Yu and Sister Lin are ......left."

"Sister Yu'er doesn't have to think about it." Old Marquis Xue said, "Do you think about which ......one is suitable, Sister Rong or Sister Lin?"

Old Madam Xue was slightly stunned.

"What, you have decided on Sister Yu?" Her voice was a little tight.

Old Marquis Xue looked at the old lady and was surprised: "What do you think?" ”

"Of course it's Sister Rong!" The old lady was shocked, "It's not Sister Dingxiao Wurong, why did you say hello to the Chen family in the first place?" At that time, the boss knew that the Chen family might rebel, and he also told Sister Rong to the son of Chen Guofu, didn't he just want to keep Sister Rong in the name of justice? ”

Old Marquis Xue was also a little surprised: "But I listen to the meaning of the boss and the little five, they are destined for Sister Xuan...... You keep Sister Yu by your side again. Because the child is young, I didn't care about it, and I thought you also took a fancy to Sister Yu'er......"

Because the child is young, because things have to wait for a few more years, some words have never been said on the surface, but the elders in the family know very well that they will train their daughters in different ways to become adults.

But in such a conversation tonight, the old lady suddenly realized that there was something different from her and the men's thoughts...... Everyone seems to have misunderstood each other.
