In the face of Wang Zizhan's denial, Sima De did not speak, neither agreed nor opposed, just smiled faintly and tasted tea by himself.

Sima De's expression fell into Wang Zizhan's eyes, which naturally made Sima De's attitude clear at once, that is to say, this time Yang Ghost checked the imperial capital, and the Xue family controlled by Xue Li was indeed not among the inventory, and it was the only one.

"It doesn't make sense, why is that?"

Wang Zizhan said to himself in distress, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that the Xue family would not be among the Yang Ghosts' inventory, you must know how many large and small forces in this imperial capital there are, and there are many special identities, why are these families not spared, but the Xue family has nothing to do?

"Wait! Special status?"

As if touched by these four words, in an instant, the history of the rise of the Xue family was completely rehearsed in Wang Zizhan's mind.

The Xue family was originally a small family in a third-class city sealed earth city, and the qualifications of the children of the family were only mediocre, a family like this could be said to be a big deal in the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, if there was no accident, it would be impossible for the Xue family to have anything to do with the emperor in this life.

However, what no one expected was that although the Xue family had average qualifications, there was a woman named Xue Mingyu, who became the princess of Lin Yu, who was only a prince at the time, and led Mr. Lin Yu's first son, who is now the eldest prince Lin Xuan.

Later, Lin Yu successfully ascended the throne to take over the throne of Emperor Yan, and the Xue family also moved to the imperial capital, speaking of which, the Xue family also began to officially enter the eyes of the families in the imperial capital at that time, the only strange thing is that Emperor Yan has been on the throne for so many years, but he has never set up a queen, Xue Mingyu is just a concubine to this day, and Lin Xuan has not been made a prince.

In fact, many people speculate that if it weren't for the world change a few years ago, I'm afraid Emperor Yan would not have mentioned the matter of establishing a prince until now.

Thinking of this, Wang Zizhan instantly understood, and blurted out at the moment: "It's because the Xue family is Xue Guifei's maiden family and a relative of the emperor, so Ghost Yang doesn't dare to check the Xue family!"

"It doesn't seem too stupid. Sima De said with a smile: "When the discussion here ended a few days ago, you also persuaded the old man not to be angry with Xue Li, saying that Xue Li is a relative of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, why did you forget this relationship in a blink of an eye now?"

"The old lady taught me a lesson. Wang Zizhan scratched his head, and then said: "Then the old lady said before that my Wang family would not have anything to do, but is it true?"

"The two Northern Regions spies can't kill your Wang family!" Sima De glanced at Wang Zizhan, but he was extremely disappointed in his heart.

Wang Zizhan has always left a good impression on Sima De, and even the previous things that dissuaded him from doing anything with Xue Li made Sima De look at Wang Zizhan differently, but in today's matter, Wang Zizhan's performance made Sima De completely see the true face of this person.

The color is strong and timid, the outside is strong and the inside is weak, and it is not enough to take on a big responsibility!

However, at present, Sima De still needs to encircle Wang Zizhan, after all, the Wang family is the largest family in the imperial capital, and on the road to compete for the position of the crown prince, this is a force that no competitor can ignore.

Thinking of this, Sima De suddenly smiled and asked Wang Zizhan: "I heard that your Wang family has returned a child in the past few years, and it turned out to be an extremely rare Yin Phoenix body, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"This matter actually reached the ears of the Taishi?" Wang Zizhan said proudly: "It is indeed a little girl, she was sent to live at the border due to family turmoil when she was a child, and the family has been stable in recent years, so she ordered someone to call it back, and only when she arrived at the family did she check the body of the Yin Phoenix, haha, it is really blessed by God!"

"The love of the lord of the Wang family is not admirable!" Sima De instantly flattered, and then said casually: "It's a little embarrassing to say, the old man is a lot old, but he still likes to worry, it's really a hard life!"

Wang Zizhan immediately said solemnly: "Those who are capable work hard, the old lady has worked hard for my Dayan Dynasty, which is respectful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zizhan and Sima De glanced at each other, and they laughed in unison, like two old foxes worshipping each other.

"Speaking of which, the old man has a good marriage here that he wants to give to the head of the Wang family, I wonder if the head of the Wang family is interested?" Sima De looked at Wang Zizhan with a smile and said, "It's about Ling Ai, the marriage of the body of the phoenix." ”

"Good marriage? Then I have to ask the old lady to give advice. Wang Zizhan nodded, but when he heard Sima De's last words, his face suddenly changed, and he asked uncertainly: "I don't know which adult has the intention to say that the old lady came out to fight my Wang family pearl?"

"The head of the Wang family doesn't have to be angry, Ling Ai's body is not very many people in the world who can be worthy of it, but the one who asked the old man and me to come forward can definitely match Ling Ai. Sima De said with a smile, obviously full of confidence in the one behind him.

"Then please tell the old lady to come and listen. ”

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince Lin Xuan. ”

"What?" Wang Zizhan was stunned and asked in disbelief, "What the old lady just said is His Royal Highness the Great Prince Lin Xuan?"

"That's right, it's His Royal Highness the Great Prince Lin Xuan!"

The old god Sima De said on the ground: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince heard that the Wang family has a woman who is talented, beautiful as a flower, virtuous and virtuous, so he has been fond of it for a long time, and asked the old man to come forward to say goodbye to him, hoping to marry the Wang family, and the two families will become a family." ”

"I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Great Prince is interested in my daughter's Yin Phoenix body, right?" Wang Zizhan suddenly understood, and sneered: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Great Prince is a yang spirit body, this is to use my daughter as a furnace?

"Why is it so ugly for the head of the Wang family to speak, the method practiced by His Royal Highness the Great Prince is a pure yin and yang dual cultivation method, and the body of the Yin Phoenix is not regarded as a furnace as the Wang family master thinks, but sincerely admired. ”

Sima De persuaded: "Take a look at the imperial capital, the only one who can match the status of His Royal Highness the Great Prince is the Pearl of the Wang Family, isn't the Lord of the Wang Family still worried about the matter of Ghost Yang checking the Imperial Capital before? If the Lord of the Wang Family believes the old man, as long as the news that the Pearl of the Wang Family is going to marry His Royal Highness the Great Prince, then the Ghost Yang will never dare to make a fuss about the Wang family again." ”

"The old lady doesn't need to say much, as the teacher said, my Wang family has also shed blood and sold his life for the Great Yan Dynasty, just a Yang ghost, my Wang family has a clear conscience, why be afraid!"

"Old lady, take care of your body, and say goodbye to the war!"

After speaking, Wang Zizhan glanced at Sima De coldly, and immediately got up and walked outside.

"The head of the Wang family doesn't think about himself, doesn't he need to think about the Wang family as the head of the family?"

Seeing that Wang Zizhan was about to step out of the court, Sima De hurriedly said: "Up to now, it is already a fact that the Wang family supports His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and it is impossible to change the court, if there is no relationship, His Royal Highness the Great Prince will ascend the throne in the future, compared with the Wang family and the Xue family, who will be the largest family in the imperial capital? Not to mention that as far as the old man knows, the relationship between the Wang family and the Xue family is not harmonious, right?"

"Before the Xue family moved into the imperial capital, all the family forces that had offended it, those who could be co-opted, those that could not be co-opted, and the ferociousness of the methods would not be unclear to the head of the Wang family, right?

Hearing that Wang Zizhan was about to step out of the hall, he slammed his steps, but he stopped.

I have to say that Sima De is the elder of the three dynasties and the master of the two dynasties after all, and he immediately said the matter to the key point.

As Sima De said, Wang Zizhan is very aware of the fierceness and ruthlessness of the Xue family, from his father's point of view, Wang Zizhan is not willing to let his daughter marry the eldest prince Lin Xuan, Wang Zizhan knows very well that his daughter has a person in her heart, although according to the news he got that the kid is mostly dead, but Wang Zizhan has never seen a smile on his daughter's face for so many years.

But on the other hand, Wang Zizhan is the head of the Wang family, as the head of the family, Wang Zizhan must consider the entire Wang family, the Wang family is not his Wang family alone, all houses, courtyards and branches are relatives connected by blood, and it is impossible for him to sell the interests of the entire Wang family for his daughter alone.

That's right, interests.

Once married to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, it is close to the fact that the imperial capital is currently under investigation, which is a disaster for the forces that have been investigated, but it is the best opportunity to expand their strength for the forces that have not been investigated, and in the distance, once the prince takes over the throne of Emperor Yan in the future, with the identity of the emperor's relatives, the Wang family can be as stable as Mount Tai no matter what, which is the benefit that the Wang family may get.

Seeing that Wang Zizhan had stopped, Sima De knew that the other party had begun to waver, and hurriedly said: "So that the head of the Wang family knows one thing, His Royal Highness the eldest prince personally told the old man that this time he asked to marry the pearl of the Wang family, and he asked to marry as a concubine, that is, the future princess, and he really admired the pearl of the Wang family sincerely!"

"Don't talk about it, old lady, this matter is very important, and my Wang family needs time to think about it. ”

"That's good. Sima De breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't continue to persuade him, Wang Zizhan's tone had begun to loosen, and persuasion couldn't be in a hurry, and it would be easier for Wang Zizhan to accept it.

"But there is one sentence, the old man still has to remind the head of the Wang family. Perhaps knowing that Wang Zizhan was not a good choice, Sima De thought about it and said: "Although His Royal Highness the Great Prince is not in a hurry to reply, there is only one year left before the day when Emperor Yan decides the candidate for the crown prince. ”
