Chapter 129: First Arrival in the Capital 23
Then, Xie Siyuan said to Ye Yixing: "Although the Xie family is the first family in Qingguo, not everything can be done as you like. Yixing, you must also know that the top family of this dynasty, in addition to our Chenjun Xie family, is the Taiyuan Wang family. The queen of this dynasty was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and gave birth to his majesty's son-in-law, Li Chengxu, the king of Jin. The foundation of the Taiyuan Wang family is in the north, and it is the first family in the north. The roots of the Chenjun Xie family are in the south, and they are the first family in the south. The Xie family and the Wang family are the leading families of the northern and southern clans respectively. When His Majesty raised his army, our Xie family was the first top family to respond to His Majesty, so he was especially loved by His Majesty. The Wang family followed His Majesty later than the Xie family, because His Majesty loved the Xie family, and my father made a Shangshu order to celebrate the country, so he was very jealous of our family. This is most evident in Queen Wang. Whenever our Xie family wants to go to Jinling to worship the ancestors and sweep the tombs, His Majesty will give a generous reward, the scale is comparable to the royal family, that is, the queen's family went to Taiyuan to worship the ancestors, and there was no rich reward for our family. His Majesty said that this is because our family is a hero of the establishment of Qingguo, so it is not too much to give a generous reward. But where can the queen listen? Although she did not dare to say it in front of His Majesty, she often said sour things in front of the "wives" of the various families who entered the palace, and they inevitably reached my mother's ears. Therefore, for the sake of harmony in the inner court, our Xie family is now going back to Jinling to worship their ancestors and sweep the tombs, that is, once a year. At other times, it is inconvenient to go back. Because, Your Majesty will reward us as long as our Xie family returns to Jinling, no matter what the reason, so in order to avoid suspicion, we can't go back to the ancestral house of Jinling at will. ”
Ye Yixing listened to Xie Siyuan's words, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
His amazing friend, a greedy "woman" who grabs power for the sake of Queen Wang, doesn't even have the freedom to return to the ancestral home of Jinling.
The Xie family is dedicated to the country, and has made concessions for the long-term peace and stability of the country.
However, the Xie family must not have imagined that under the seemingly dignified appearance of Queen Wang, there was a femme fatale heart hidden.
Even if the people are in dire straits, Queen Wang will not care, she only cares about her own selfish desires and power, and her son King Jin wants to inherit the throne.
So, Ye Yixing said to Xie Siyuan: "Queen Wang is just a 'woman', no matter how noble her status is, she can't control the Xie family. Your Majesty loves to thank the family, and has your own Majesty's reasoning. If you want me to say, don't worry about this jealous 'woman', when Brother Siyuan wants to go back to the ancestral house in Jinling, just go back. If Your Majesty wants a big reward, just take it. His Majesty is an extremely meticulous person, and since he has rewarded the Xie family many times, it is that His Majesty feels that he should do this. If the queen wants to be jealous, let her go. The Xie family has been hairpins for generations, and nothing she says can shake the foundation of the Xie family. ”
Xie Siyuan listened to Ye Yixing's words, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Yixing, where do I care about Queen Wang's remarks?" It's just a taboo to hook up with the king of Shangjin. Historically, there is no trivial matter in the heavenly family, and the affairs of the inner court are connected to the outer court. The Xie family gave in, in the final analysis, not for the sake of Queen Wang, but for the sake of His Majesty's only concubine, King Li Chengxu of Jin. The Xie family gave in, just to give face to King Jin. Queen Wang can now be said to be a mother and a child. King Jin is already an adult, and he will be fourteen years old this year. After the New Year, when he reaches the age of fifteen, he can open his own house. A few years ago, when King Jin was not yet an adult, he made a lot of trouble in order to establish a prince and fight for the country, which greatly damaged the vitality of Qingguo's court. Nowadays, Qingguo can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles. There are a large number of displaced people who have lost their land and need to be resettled, and there are Turks who are eyeing them outside. My father's meaning is that he can't cause any more turmoil for some trivial things, and it is rumored that the Xie family and the Wang family are not in harmony, and they do not give face to Queen Wang and King Jin. In that case, the court will have to stand in line and cause turmoil, and Your Majesty will have to worry about these trivial matters, how can you still deal with the government wholeheartedly? ”
Ye Yixing listened to Xie Siyuan's words, and couldn't help but have more respect for Shangshu Ling Xie Yunyi.
Although Xie Yunyi was born in a top family and is elegant, he is a person who is dedicated to the people and has family and country feelings.
In terms of personal self-interest, Xie Yunyi made a lot of concessions, which Ye Yixing admired very much.
What makes a person so noble in his heart bow his head and give in is not the exchange of interests between the gate valves, but his ideal of letting Qingguo have long-term peace and stability.
However, Ye Yixing felt that he could not agree to let the Xie family make concessions for the Wang family.
Because, the king and queen are not worthy.
The Xie family is not worthy of making such a sacrifice for Empress Wang and Li Chengxu, the king of Jin.
So, Ye Yixing said to Xie Siyuan: "Even if it is to make Your Majesty worry-free, you can't indulge them." I feel that Brother Siyuan still has a sentence that he hasn't said clearly, we are not outsiders, so I'll make it clear. Brother Siyuan doesn't think that although the matter of establishing the crown prince a few years ago, Queen Wang and King Jin did not succeed, but today, Brother Siyuan still feels that they have a great chance of winning. Brother Siyuan felt that His Majesty might finally be inclined to his son-in-law, King Li Chengxu of Jin, on the issue of choosing the crown prince, so for the sake of His Majesty's face, King Jin's face could not be hurt. This is a decent gift from the Xie family to the future prince of Qingguo, in order to repay His Majesty's love for the Xie family. But I don't see it that way. His Majesty has three sons and one daughter, and among these three princes, who will inherit the throne, but it is uncertain. ”
Xie Siyuan listened to Ye Yixing's frank speech, it can be said that he knows everything about himself, and he can't help but have a good impression of Ye Yixing, and adds a few points.
So, Xie Siyuan said to Ye Yixing: "Yixing, since you have said it here, I will also tell you from the bottom of my heart." His Majesty's three princes, in addition to King Jin, also have His Majesty's eldest son Li Boxian, King of Wei, who was born to Concubine Zheng Shu, and Li Tianyou, the third son of Concubine Lu De. Li Boxian, the king of Wei, is 15 years old this year, only one year younger than you, and is the oldest of His Majesty's princes. The King of Wei is good at martial arts, and he has the style of His Majesty in riding "shooting", but he is slightly inferior to his literary talents, and he has no talent in reading, and he may not have any development in governing the country. The third son, Li Tianyou, the king of Qi, has been stubborn since he was a child, and he only likes to have fun, but he can be regarded as able to accept His Majesty's knees, and he is the most favored by His Majesty. However, if the king of Qi is not successful in writing and martial arts, His Majesty will not consider him on the issue of establishing a crown prince. Compared with these three princes, Li Chengxu, the king of Jin, is still quite talented in reading, and he is also willing to be a corporal and make friends with his ministers in a low profile. The mother family is the queen again, and the power of the Taiyuan Wang clan is the help of his struggle for the throne. ”
Ye Yixing listened to Xie Siyuan's words, couldn't help but smile faintly, and said, "I don't see it that way. "Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "The Humble Wife's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
