Chapter 242: Wang's dilemma
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
The Emperor stroked his palms and laughed, "As you deserve to be Mr. Yaya, this layout is truly exquisite. ”
Mr. Youya bowed humbly, "The ministers should eat the king's fortune and share the worries for the king, which is what the minister should do." ”
The emperor twisted his beard with satisfaction and said hello three times in a row.
This Mr. Youya is really good, he has excellent wisdom and strategy, the key is that the Yu family is only a second-rate gate valve, and the emperor does not need to be afraid when he uses it. Even if the four sons won the battle for succession in the end, the weakened Yu family could not pose a threat to the imperial power, but would have to rely on the imperial power to survive.
"Come, sir, and go to the palace with me. This palace banquet is specially designed for Mr. to celebrate. The Emperor grabbed Mr. Youya's wrist as a gesture of closeness.
Mr. Youya hurriedly bowed down flatteredly, "Minister, Emperor Xie." ”
The emperor walked out of the study with a smile on his face, halfway, and stopped slightly, "I set up this palace banquet, in addition to celebrating the merits of Mr., but also because someone from the palace came to report, Xie Xun went to find Wang Qiheng...... Sir, you have a difficult task! ”
Mr. Youya smiled lightly, "The minister has also received the news." The emperor can rest assured that with Yue Qingshan here, everything is under the control of the ministers. ”
The Emperor laughed again.
In the past few days, with the six-flavor rehmannia pill, he was able to show his strength again, and with Xie Pai and the Wang family, he was calculated by Mr. Youya one after another, and he was unlucky, and he could laugh out loud in his dreams......
The queen's people had already entered the courtyard gate, and Wang Qiheng was going to greet him, so Xie Xun could only get up and say goodbye.
Wang Qiheng didn't dare to let the queen's people go to see Wang Jinxiu directly, so he took the people to the living room to wait, and he went to the small courtyard to find his sister.
In the distance, I heard the chatter of the maid.
"Miss, why did you give Xie Shizi a red jade hairpin worn by a woman?" Layue couldn't figure it out, so she decided to ask her own lady.
Wang Qiheng, who happened to hear this, snorted lightly, and the sister really gave Xie Shizi something privately!
Why is it a jade hairpin worn by a woman?
Wang Qiheng couldn't figure it out, and when he stepped into the courtyard gate, he saw a scene that made him frown.
The girl wore a coarse cloth apron and sat in front of the machine, tinkling with a piece of jade. In recent days, he has seen such a picture every day. Every time he tried to persuade him, but the sister just didn't listen, she went her own way, and even used illness as an excuse to prevaricate the palace people sent by the queen to summon her.
"Jin Niang, why don't you listen to persuasion?" Wang Qiheng stepped up, grabbed the girl's slender arm, and picked it up stiffly, "You trampled your hands so roughly, how are you going to meet the queen and the prince in a while?" ”
"Who said I was going to see the Queen?"
Skip the prince directly.
Wang Qiheng couldn't help frowning, the sister-in-law's disgust with the prince could be seen between the lines.
"Tonight's palace has a banquet ......"
"I'm not going." Wang Jinxiu interrupted clearly.
"It's up to you this time." Wang Qiheng still grabbed the girl's arm to prevent her from sitting back down.
Wang Jinxiu immediately realized that something was wrong, and frowned slightly, "But something happened at home?" ”
Wang Qiheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the sister still knows how to care about the family!
He briefly told the matter of the fifth old lady.
Wang Jinxiu's eyebrows were stained with sorrow, "This matter is very difficult to do." ”
"So, at this time, you're getting more and more intemperable, you know?"
"Big brother, why don't we return to Langya?" Wang Jinxiu looked up at Wang Qiheng, "I, the Langya Wang family, have gone through three dynasties, and I want money, money, fame and fame, so why bother to plunge into the whirlpool of this power struggle?" ”
"Our Wang family has gone through three dynasties well, but the situation is not as optimistic as Jin Niang thinks." Wang Qiheng sighed faintly.
In the eyes of outsiders, even in the eyes of the emperor, the Langya Wang clan is a hundred-legged insect that needs to be feared by the top gate valve.
But Wang Qiheng, who is the eldest son of Yan, clearly knows that the strength of the Wang family is only the appearance. By his generation, there had been a shortage of young people, and even because of the emperor's jealousy of the Wang family, the younger generation of children had not produced officials above the sixth grade for more than ten years.
If the situation cannot be broken on the side of the capital, within 20 years at most, the older generation will retire from the officialdom, and the Langya Wang family will completely fade out of the court.
Top gate valves, but no one is a high-ranking official in the court, just like a big fat pig, coveted by other gate valves, if the royal family does something to the Wang family again, the Wang family can only be restrained.
"If it weren't for the fact that the problem was already so serious, how could my grandfather and father resolutely accept the marriage decree knowing that what the emperor wanted was a lose-lose situation?" Wang Qiheng lovingly helped his sister-in-law pin her sideburns that were messed up by her work behind her ears, "If not, how can the eldest brother bear to let you marry a beast like the prince?" ”
This battle for the succession is a bait thrown by the emperor, and it is not a self-saving move by the Wang family. If he wins, the Wang family will be able to stand for another hundred years without falling.
Wang Jinxiu lowered her head slightly, and her long and dense black eyelashes covered the emotions under her eyes.
Wang Qiheng patted his sister-in-law on the shoulder and ordered Layue, who was standing next to him, "Go fetch water to dress up the young lady, and prepare to go to the palace for a banquet." ”
La Yue was stunned when she heard it, she never thought that the Wang family had entered a critical situation.
That Miss's plan......
It wasn't until Wang Qiheng looked at her that Layue reacted, wiped the corners of her eyes, and trotted to fetch water.
Wang Qiheng deliberately let Layue listen to those words, so that she could see the current situation clearly, and not to follow Wang Jinxiu to do anything wrong in the future.
Although Wang Jinxiu's hands have been worn a lot rougher in recent labor, she is talented, and when she changes into gorgeous clothes, she is still indescribably expensive and beautiful.
"Miss, listening to the meaning of the adult, the Wang family seems to need the power of the prince very much......" When serving Wang Jinxiu's dressing, Layue couldn't help but say something that had been held back for a long time.
Wang Jinxiu looked at herself coldly in the glass mirror, and only spoke for a long time, "Layue, have you climbed the mountain?" ”
Yes? Layue was stunned by her own young lady's unrelated words.
Wang Jinxiu had already stood up, dropped the sentence "Let's go", straightened his back, and walked out slowly......
After Xie Xun went back, he immediately cleaned up, and rushed to the palace with his cheap father.
At the gate of the palace, I met Chu Hui's family.
Chu Hui and Chu Yu both had unconcealable sorrow between their eyebrows, and when Chu Yu saw Xie Xun, he wanted to speak again.
Xie Xun understood that the little beauty should want to ask her, how is her eldest brother?
He cast a reassuring look at the little beauty.
Chu Jue is his youngest hair, and the Chu and Xie families are friends with each other's horns, even if Xie Xun fights with the old thief, he will definitely keep Chu Jue.
When Chu Yu saw Xie Xun's eyes, his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he finally had a smile on his face.
Xie Shangshu saw the flirtatious look of a pair of children, and slapped Chu Hui on the shoulder, "Old Chu, let's go, go and see what good wine the Dog Emperor has prepared tonight?" ”
Chu Hui knew that the old friend wanted to give a pair of children a chance to speak alone, anyway, this marriage was already known to both families, and Chu Hui took the opportunity to follow the old friend first.
"Brother Shizi~" Chu Yu raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Xie Xun, who was a little shy, and quickly lowered his head again, revealing a white and slender swan neck.
Every time he smelled the fragrance of fruit on Chu Yu's little beauty, Xie Xun couldn't control the true qi of the dantian, and he couldn't help but get closer to the little beauty, his nose leaned towards the white and tender neck, sniffing deeply......
Just as he was immersed in the sweet fragrance of peaches, he suddenly felt like a man on his back.
Someone is staring at him!
He frowned and looked back......
