Chapter 235: Suspicion
When Wang Qiheng received the letter, he smiled speechlessly and helplessly, "This Xie Shizi is really ......"
He didn't know what words to use to describe Xie Xun's behavior, it was too scoundrel!
"My lord, what are you going to do about this?" Staff asked.
Wang Qiheng was a little hesitant.
According to the plan of the grandfather and father, the Wang family did not plan to make a move for the time being, but if the four princes' faction got the money bag again, they would not fight with the seven princes, but united with the Xie family to deal with the crown prince with all their might...... Wang Qiheng couldn't help but breathe tightly.
"Send this letter back to the house."
I'd better leave it to my father!
It just gave his father the opportunity to train the boys he brought from Langya......
The Imperial Palace, the Queen's bedchamber.
"The queen mother, the son heard that the fourth child wants to take the daughter of the merchant as a concubine~" The prince tentatively exited.
The queen was fiddling with the Boshan incense burner, and when she heard this, she glanced at the prince lightly, "So what?" ”
The prince leaned forward on his knees, "Erchen also wants to take a few merchant girls as concubines...... Mother, we are so short of silver right now! ”
"I don't think you're short of silver, you're short of women again!" The queen frowned angrily, "You just suffered a big loss on a woman, and you don't know how to restrain yourself, do you want to completely lose the crown prince?" ”
The words had already been spoken, and the prince withstood the pressure, and simply shook out all the words in his heart, "A few nameless concubines can get hundreds or even tens of millions of taels of snowflake silver for us, it's really cost-effective!" Mr. Youya can figure it out, and the Wang family should also agree......"
The crown prince grabbed the queen's sleeve and continued to lobby, "Queen Mother, although the Wang family is rich, as a wife, we can't take too much of it." The merchants are different, even if we squeeze it dry, it won't have any impact on us~"
The queen couldn't help but waver.
The biggest use of the Wang family is not to make money bags, the key is its prestige in Shilin and its business in the court for a hundred years.
Now, the queen also understands that Lin Jin, the soldier of Langzhong, will appear in time, and it must be the handiwork of the Wang family to break the matter of the four princes raising private soldiers. As soon as he made a move, he was in the Wupin Langzhong, or in the military department, and the hidden strength of the Wang family in the court can be seen.
Since this is the case, it is natural that the silver money can no longer be ruthless to the Wang family. But in the battle for the throne, it is impossible to do it without silver. If you accept a few concubines, you can solve the problem of silver, and the Wang family should not mind for the sake of the overall situation......
"This matter, you must first discuss with Wang Shilang and obtain his consent before you can do it." The queen finally decided to relent.
The prince was overjoyed and left happy.
For the crown prince, as long as the queen mother agrees to the matter, no one else is a problem. On the one hand, he asked people to call Wang Qiheng, and on the other hand, he ordered the acting officials of the East Palace to look for candidates.
By the time Wang Qiheng came, the prince was already looking through the portraits of those merchant girls.
Wang Qiheng saw the portraits of beauties on the table at a glance, and immediately felt displeased, but he didn't show it on his face.
Seeing that Wang Qiheng didn't react, the prince thought that Wang Qiheng didn't care about this, and immediately rejoiced in his heart.
"My uncle is here~"
The queen often told the prince to be close to the people of the Wang family, so that the Wang family could help him wholeheartedly. Although he has not yet got married, when the prince sees Wang Qiheng, he always calls him "brother" to show his closeness.
Wang Qiheng saluted in a proper manner, "The minister has seen His Highness." ”
"Uncle doesn't need to be polite." The crown prince grabbed Wang Qiheng's arm and pulled him to the desk full of portraits of beauties, "I called my uncle here today to let my uncle come to the prince's idea to choose a few from these merchant girls to be concubines." ”
"Your Highness wants to take a concubine?" Wang Qiheng finally couldn't hold back anymore and frowned.
Before marrying a concubine, listen to his meaning, how many more?
Is the prince going to slap Wang in the face?
According to the marriage rules of the family, the main wife enters the door, and within three years, as long as she does not give birth to a concubine, the husband's family cannot accept a concubine. Even if the crown prince is the prince, the time is shortened, and three months always have to save face for the Wang family, right?
Thinking that his sister was going to marry such a perverted embryo who disregarded the usual rules, Wang Qiheng almost lost his temper.
The prince didn't notice the change in Wang Qiheng's expression, and continued to talk to himself, "Mr. Youya took the initiative to let the fourth merchant girl be a concubine, my uncle should already know about it, right?" The fourth child is short of silver, and the prince is even more lacking! ”
"This prince thought about it, and it was the fastest to accept a few merchant girls as concubines. Uncle rest assured, although this prince accepts these women, he will never let them get pregnant before Jinniang! The prince raised his hand and swore pretendly.
"Those concubines entered the East Palace, and they also wanted to serve Jin Niang, so the prince asked his uncle to determine this candidate."
The prince thought to himself, the candidates are all decided by your Wang family, you should rest assured, right?
This time to take a concubine, the prince is really not exactly lustful.
Wang Qiheng glanced at those portraits, and sneered secretly: Hmph, I said that I would decide the candidate, but which of these women is not a beauty?
In terms of appearance alone, his sister-in-law is naturally the most beautiful, but the sister-in-law has a cold temperament, and she doesn't like the prince, if she can't have an absolute advantage in giving birth to a son-in-law, how can she keep the position of the main palace in the future?
"His Royal Highness's concubine is a private matter, and it is inconvenient for the minister to meddle with a foreign man." Wang Qiheng bowed and stepped back, "The Minister's Office still has a lot of official business to deal with, so I will retire first." ”
Don't look at the prince's initiative to let Wang Qiheng pick someone, he still wants to pick it himself, after all, he wants to serve his own woman, who doesn't want to pick that hearty?
The prince happily let Wang Qiheng leave, and before Wang Qiheng walked out of the door of the dormitory, he buried his head in looking at those portraits again......
The prince picked two hours, and finally selected five people, and sent them to the queen with joy.
The queen frowned, "Why do you choose so many?" Wang Shilang agreed? ”
In order to show respect for the Wang family, Erchen deliberately asked Wang Shilang to pick someone, who knew that he said that taking a concubine was a private matter of Erchen, and he was not good at interfering as a foreign man. The Wang family is worthy of being a family of poetry and books, and knows that they should not do things that exceed the norm. Erchen thought that three would also be paid, and five would also be paid, and these five people's families were extremely rich, and the dowry alone would not be less than two million taels. ”
In fact, the prince chose the portraits, these five beauties, each with its own merits, he really couldn't choose, and finally decided to accept them all.
"Idiot!" The queen's index finger with a armor sleeve poked the prince's forehead fiercely, "Where is Wang Shilang's words to keep the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he is obviously angry, so he brushed his sleeves and left!" ”
Will the Langya Wang family, who has gone through three dynasties, respect the monarch?
Heh, the queen sneered in a low voice.
The prince was stunned, is that so?
The courtyard where the town government lived.
Xie Xun slapped his head suddenly, "It turns out that the pit buried by the old thief is here!" ”
Through Pei You'an's mouth, the news that he proposed that the fourth prince take a merchant girl as a concubine was spread, which stimulated the prince to do irrational things, causing conflicts between the prince and the Wang family.
The family values face the most, but the prince wants to take a concubine before marriage, isn't this a slap in the face of the Wang family?
If it is a second-rate gate valve like the Yu family, he still has to rely on the imperial power to climb up, maybe he will endure it, isn't that the case with Mr. Youya? But the Langya Wang clan has gone through three dynasties, a hundred-legged insect, where can he endure such a shame?
"The old thief is really powerful, as soon as he makes a move, he will let the prince's faction have infighting!"
Xie Xun sighed......
