Chapter 211: Which is Wushan and Which is Cloud (2)
"You have a crush on Zhuang Xiang's concubine?" Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor, but it immediately dissolved into nothingness, covered by a thin layer of drunkenness, which made people too late to notice.
However, Madame Tai was the closest and had already caught the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor. However, the emperor's reaction was what she expected, so she also seemed very calm, shook her head and sighed again: "Hey! The old body is really useless, and now even a granddaughter-in-law has a headache. Not daring to climb the niece of the Queen Mother, but also worrying about the identity of Lord Zhuang, it is really a dilemma! β
After saying that, Mrs. Tai turned her head sideways and looked at Yun Cheng's position again, the fourteen-year-old prince was hanging his head and saying nothing, with an uncomfortable expression on his face. Seeing this, Mrs. Tai rubbed her eyebrows, her sadness was overflowing, and she was almost about to burst into tears on the spot: "I don't know what kind of sin our Yunfu has created, the old body has eaten fasting and recited Buddha all his life, and the Yun family is also kind and charitable, but in the end, he will encounter a crisis of unsustainable incense!" There is no successor! There is no successor! β
As she spoke, Mrs. Tai pounded her legs, with an expression of wanting to cry and grab, but she was reluctant to know the courtesy. She acted on her own, not caring about what the visitors thought, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and then she barely pulled out a smile at Emperor Tianzhu: "Look at my old fellow, I'm really drunk, and I actually talk about these unlucky family affairs in front of the saint." Ay! β
Mrs. Tai has sighed countless times tonight, and Emperor Tianzhu has also watched the play all night, and he is jealous, admiring, and disdainful of the former head of the Yun family in his heart, and at the same time wants to applaud him.
It is undeniable that Mrs. Tai Xie Shudan is wonderful, she can make reasonable use of her identity as a widow, show weakness when she should show weakness, shrewdness when she should be shrewd, welcome when she should be welcome, and never put down her body to act. As for tonight's crying scene and grabbing the ground, if it is replaced by Xiu, she will definitely not be able to act.
At this time, two problems were suddenly placed in front of the Heavenly Emperor: Ye Lingcheng, the daughter of the Ye family, and Zhuang Yiran, the concubine of the Zhuang family...... These two are the granddaughter-in-law candidates that Mrs. Tai picked out only when she wanted to break her head, no matter which one she agreed, it must have made the Yun family smile from ear to ear.
Let's look at the daughter of the Ye family first, as we all know, the Ye family and the Xie family are mortal enemies, and the Empress Dowager Ye and Mrs. Xie have also been old enemies for decades. Based on this alone, Empress Dowager Ye would not agree to let her niece marry into the Yun family.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Ye family has no objection to this marriage, Emperor Tianzhu himself will not agree. Imagine that if Ye Lingcheng marries the prince Yun Cheng, the Ye family and the Yun family will be in the same breath, and the Ye family's reputation will also rise to a higher level. This kind of powerful foreign relative power has always been the most taboo thing for the emperor, not to mention that the Nie family himself is a foreign relative usurping power, so he is also more aware of the hidden dangers brought by foreign relatives.
Moreover, Emperor Tian Zhu was raised by Empress Dowager Ye, if Empress Dowager Ye sent the women of the clan into the palace as concubines for the sake of the family, Emperor Tian Zhu would never be able to refuse out of filial piety. Once this concubine gives birth to a prince, Empress Dowager Ye will definitely support a child with the blood of the Ye family to ascend to the throne, and if the Yun family joins forces with the Ye family at that time, the position of the prince will inevitably be in turmoil, and the queen's maiden family Zhuang will definitely lose.
Thinking of this, Emperor Tianzhu secretly rejected Ye Lingcheng's candidate in his heart. Moreover, as an emperor, he does not have a strong maternal family behind him, on the contrary, Nie Peixiao is the biological son of Empress Dowager Ye. In case after the marriage of these two families, the Ye family tries to get on the throne, and the Empress Dowager Ye cannot guarantee that she will not join the Yun family to elect Nie Peixiao, the king of Cheng, to the throne......
Although it seems that Nie Peixiao is happy to be an idle prince, the Ye family may not be able to keep to themselves, and the Empress Dowager Ye is not a person who does her duty. If he loses, Nie Peixiao will become a puppet emperor, and the government will be controlled by the Ye family and the Yun family......
Even if this possibility is very small, the Heavenly Emperor still has some concerns.
Naturally, Mrs. Xie also thought of everything that Emperor Tianzhu could think of, so she would "throw bricks and lead jade", and first put out the daughter of the Ye family as a disguise, just to let Emperor Tianzhu compare and make a decision.
But if you want to agree to the marriage between the Zhuang family and the Yun family, the Heavenly Emperor also has some concerns. Zhuang Xiaoran is his own queen, Zhuang Qin, the left minister, is the head of the dynasty, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and the Zhuang family is already very glorious; The Yun clan is the same, not only is it the number one giant in the world, but it also holds its own secret guard power.
The Zhuang family and the Yun family, one is the pinnacle of their careers, and the other is the pinnacle of wealth, if these two families marry hand in hand...... The Yun clan's interference in the government is even more justified, and won't its status be raised to a higher level?
It was just a flash of thought, and the Heavenly Emperor had already crossed his mind with thousands of thoughts, analyzing the forces represented behind these two young ladies clearly, and even seeing the pros and cons of the Yun family and the marriage between the two families thoroughly. In the end, he came to a conclusion - neither the Ye family nor the Zhuang family's daughters, Yun Cheng could marry any of them!
In this way, Emperor Tianzhu also pretended to laugh loudly, and comforted Mrs. Xie while laughing: "Mrs. Tai, don't worry, now that the son is not old, he is not in a hurry to set up a marriage. I know that the Queen Mother has some misunderstandings with you, so the daughter of the Ye family should not consider it, even if I agree to this marriage, the Queen Mother and her old man may not be willing to agree. β
Mrs. Tai nodded in agreement when she heard this, and said regretfully: "Actually, Miss Lingcheng of the Ye family is the most suitable, and the old body also likes it very much, but it is ...... We can only blame Cheng'er for not having a relationship with Miss Lingcheng, and the grievances of the older generation should be borne by the younger generation. β
Emperor Tianzhu didn't answer any further, and said again on another topic: "As for Prime Minister Zhuang...... You also know that he is my father-in-law, his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the government and the opposition, and there is another queen in the family, who is already a very popular minister. If he marries the Yun family again, wouldn't this have to make the Zhuang family's relatives sit big? Don't say that I have any concerns, I'm afraid that the old ministers in the court and China will not agree. β
Hearing this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but secretly say that the Emperor of Heaven was shrewd. He was able to speak, and deliberately avoided talking about the Yun family, but instead took the Zhuang family under the knife, and also used 'relatives sitting big' as a shield, which was really unexpected. Emperor Tianzhu obviously has something to say, and he is referring to the Zhuang family on the surface, but in fact, it is just a taboo for the Yun family.
Mrs. Tai thought so in her heart, only showed a look of disappointment on her face, and shook her head: "It's our Cheng'er who is not blessed, and we can't afford to climb the country." Since the saint refuses like this, the old body doesn't dare to mention it again, so you just look at it and point out a family matter. β
In fact, Emperor Tianzhu also wanted to find a family from among the ministers in his private heart, and he was even more taboo about military generals holding military power, and marrying the Yun family would cause more trouble. He thought that if he wanted to marry the prince who left the Xinhou Mansion, this girl must not only be dignified and worthy of the name of the future housewife, but also not too low in terms of identity and blood, and must be the right person.
Before coming to Yunfu, Emperor Tianzhu already had a suitable candidate in his heart, and at this moment, when he saw that Mrs. Tai gave him a step down, he also stepped on it unceremoniously, and asked with a smile on his lips: "Don't be discouraged, Mrs. Tai, what do you think of Helian Clan's daughter?" β
Helian's? Helianzi's sister? As soon as Emperor Tianzhu said this, Mrs. Tai remained silent, but Chuxiu and Shen Yu were already dark, especially the latter was about to get angry.
However, before these people could refute it, Cheng Wang Nie Peixiao had already taken the lead in getting up from his seat and said, "No! I disagree! β
Emperor Tianzhu was very unhappy when he saw his ninth brother standing up and demolishing the stage, and secretly said that Nie Peixiao liked Xiu too much, and even the entire Helian clan was angry. But he couldn't attack in front of everyone, so he could only explain to Mrs. Tai with a smile: "The century-old family of the Helian family has countless civil officials in the clan, and there are many talented people and everyone. The Yun family is full of wealth and wealth, and the Helian family is a scholarly family, and I can't match it anymore. β
The most important thing is that the Helian clan has no real power in their hands, especially after the fall of the in-law Ming clan, the Helian clan has held all the positions in the court, which seems to be extremely high-ranked, but in fact it is dispensable. Of course, Emperor Tianzhu would not say this.
When Mrs. Tai heard Emperor Tianzhu mention the word "Helian Clan", she pretended to groan and refused to reply, and Nie Peixiao said regardless of this: "Brother Huang, Helian Clan is definitely not good!" You don't know, the Ming brothers and sisters just came to find the bad luck of Xiu a few days ago, and Ming Ying is even more of a crazy woman. If the Yun clan and the Helian clan marry, the Ming brothers and sisters should take the opportunity to cause trouble again! β
"It is said that marriage is a relationship, and it is good to repair two families, if the Yun family and the Helian clan marry, not only will they not be able to repair, but they will also have a feud! This family business is a matter of great hope, and the royal brother thinks twice! Nie Peixiao was in a hurry to give it again, and she was even more anxious than Mrs. Tai and Chuxiu.
Someone said what he wanted to say, and it was difficult for him to speak again, but he was also grateful and moved. She couldn't help but glance at Shen Yu, both of them were worried in their eyes, and they were silent.
On the other hand, Mrs. Tai was still calm and comfortable, and finally took over the conversation and sighed in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Cheng, for considering my Yun family." In fact, this is secondary, the Holy Chrysostom gave marriage, can the Ming brothers and sisters still make trouble? It's just ......"
Mrs. Tai deliberately stopped, and sighed: "I won't tell you that the daughters of the Helian clan who have not yet come out of the cabinet have been carefully inquired about by the old body. A sixteen, too old Cheng'er doesn't like it; A twelve, too young to give birth; There is also a fourteen-year-old, who is a very suitable age, but I heard that it is the main water of the hit...... We inherit that our children have fire in their lives, and water and fire are incompatible, doesn't this make the husband and wife not harmonious? β
The favorite candidate in the heart of Emperor Tianzhu was the twelve-year-old Miss Helian, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but say again: "The fourteenth son of the world, there is a young lady in the Helian clan twelve, and I look at the perfect match, it is a good match. β
Mrs. Tai waved her hand when she heard this, and gradually became sad: "No, the top priority for Cheng'er to marry is to prolong the heirs." Twelve years old is too young, and I have to wait a few more years before I can have children. My old woman is a person who has one foot in the coffin, and she may close her eyes one day, if she can't see her great-grandson born, she will die without turning a blind eye! β
Seeing this, Emperor Tianzhu still refused to give up, and then persuaded again: "Actually, that fourteen-year-old young lady is not bad. This fate brings fire and water, and if you believe it, you will not believe it, and you will not believe it. β
Mrs. Tai shook her head again and vetoed: "If it is Cheng'er who is the main water and Miss Helian who is the main fire, then it will be easy to do." Water can extinguish fires, and we can always press on her. But the two are the opposite! Miss Helian brought water to extinguish our Cheng'er's fire! The Yun family is already prosperous and declining, if he marries such a daughter-in-law, won't Cheng'er be ridden on the head by his wife? The Yun family should be criticized as 'Si Chen' again......"
At this point, Mrs. Tai looked at Emperor Tianzhu with deep meaning, and her words were clearly a little dissatisfied: "Besides, I don't know if the Holy Lord has inquired, this Miss Helian is mediocre, how can she afford to be the head of the house with such qualifications?" β
