Chapter 247: Backyard
However, whether it is to win the 'votes' of support, to have an advantage in the number of supporters, or to win military/military assistance from other countries, today's farce of the Great Hall is bound to be the finale. It doesn't matter at all at this moment to expose each other's shortcomings, expose each other's black information, and judge whether someone has the virtue to inherit the throne.
I wonder why they didn't use force in the first place, saving them a lot of trouble in the middle.
The thinking and style of most wealthy royal families are different from ordinary people like me.
Yunzhou is competitively evenly divided in other projects, but he cannot openly dispatch troops and horses to destroy the political/enemy.
The military/affairs/power of Sun City are in the hands of others.
The patriarch only gave him an edict, and did not give him the army under the direct command of the patriarch.
It also depends on whether he has the real ability to turn the tables against the wind and win the strong with the weak.
Of course, it can't be said that the edict is useless, this palace war is over, if Yunzhou wins, he has an edict, that is, he will succeed to the throne in the name of righteousness, and no one can find any fault.
The edict is the icing on the cake, not a gift in the snow.
Fortunately, Yunzhou persuaded a few, and I poisoned a few more, and only one-third of the troops in the hands of the competitors actually took action.
They were only enough to surround Xiyuan, and it was a bit difficult to besiege the city.
I laid a gas wire net on six sides of the main hall, and some people wanted to escape from the dark passage when they saw that the situation was not good, but they were stopped by the gas wire, knowing that the general trend had gone.
Yunzhou has two brothers who went overseas to hunt for treasures, and they didn't have the opportunity to participate in this throne competition.
The news of the patriarch's death, they should not know either.
Seeing that there is no hope of inheriting the throne, those who usually have grudges and grudges have to take revenge before the annihilation of the group.
They knew that they couldn't move Yunzhou, so they could only pull and fight.
Xiqing and Xixuan's Liangzi knot the deepest, and if they didn't cut each other eighteen times, they couldn't swallow that breath.
Moreover, just now there is a new mother-killing feud between them.
Yunzhou had no intention of stopping them from killing each other.
Until the main hall, there was no legal heir except Yunzhou.
I was slightly surprised that none of his brothers were subservient and wanted to survive.
Yunzhou is by no means a person who admits defeat, he has to kill all the people.
His brothers know who he is, they just don't want to live as losers.
They don't want to be that 'coward'.
Those who can follow the master into the underground hall will not leave the master to live alone.
I want to persuade two sentences, but looking at their momentum, it is useless to persuade at this time.
If you want to live, I will protect it, and it is all ministers and clan elders who stand in line among several heirs.
They can't live and die with their partners.
When everything was over, Yunzhou went up to the ground and called the next team to clean up the hall.
Whoever is on the same side as whom, all put together, how to bury it, how to bury it.
The people are gone, and Yunzhou will not give the last face and will not save it.
Although there is no scenic burial, a thick burial is possible.
Yunzhou's supporters are on the ground, we go up, he will explain to his subordinates, and the affairs of the underground hall will be handled by them.
He walked out of the underground hall alive, and the others all lay down, and the result was self-evident.
Whoever survives to the end will be the winner.
The people outside have nothing to say, and no other heir will come forward at this time.
Yun Zhou held the patriarch's edict in his hand, and the position of the patriarch was already his.
It's like just taking over a business, and then he has endless meetings.
The patriarch was poisoned, and he investigated with great fanfare.
If you find out about Xixuan's mother, the matter is over.
The victim and the murderer were both dead, and the living were given justice, and in the end, the two were not buried together.
Yunzhou sat on the position of patriarch, which brought me convenience, that is, I could walk around in Xiyuan at will.
It's not a secret that I'm with him, and the whole of Sun City knows about it.
He is the patriarch, and I will be the wife of the patriarch.
It's just that because too many people died during the change of position, and his father and stepmother just died, it was not good for him to hold a wedding immediately.
Some people are sure that I am the wife of the patriarch, and some people have a fluke mentality.
If we don't get married for a day, others will have a chance.
Xiyuan's servants and maidservants have changed a lot, and Yun Zhou took this opportunity to remove all the eyeliner that was originally planted by various forces.
But the newcomers also have new purposes.
Some of them are monitoring Yunzhou, and some are eyeing the position of the patriarch's wife.
Of course, they don't think there is a need to squeeze me out, and there is no limit to the number of places for the patriarch's wife, it all depends on how much the patriarch himself intends to marry.
The two of us made such a big fuss, I'm afraid that no one can shake the position of my eldest lady, so two, three, four...... Isn't it still empty?
They used every opportunity to behave in front of Yunzhou.
For example, when serving tea, throwing flattering eyes, faking falls on the flat ground in the garden, singing behind the rockery, and playing the piano in the pavilion, Yunzhou is bored, and he deliberately told the manager that people have been too idle recently, working overtime, and they all work overtime 997.
The beauty is so tired that she maintains a normal expression, it is difficult not to collapse her face, and she has no energy to show her talent.
It was not possible to rely on flaunting skills, so they had to play a straight ball, and the ministers of the clan applied to Yunzhou, asking him to allow his girl to enter the palace as a concubine.
Yun Zhou also rejected them, because there were too many people who applied, and he made a special statement for this matter during the meeting, saying that no one should mention the matter of letting him take a concubine in the future.
He has only one wife, that is, me, and even if I die, he will worship with my tablet, and if I die before him after marriage, he will remain widowed until he is old.
Some people believe this, some people don't believe it, what kind of love is better than Jin Jian, a lifetime, sooner or later will change.
But it is not possible to come against him when we are like glue, and when time wears off the love, they will offer beautiful women, and Yunzhou will take it.
The Dark Guard recounted their plans to me, and finally asked me if I wanted to kill them now, so they wouldn't have a future.
"Kill them and take their descendants, don't be scared to become officials because of this, give them some hope, let them do their best, it's better than blindly killing."
"But, if ......" Nanroku looked up at me.
"What if Yunzhou really changed his mind?"
Nan Liu didn't speak, but her eyes were already very clear.
"I believe in him, besides, even if there is a case, so what, if people's hearts change, who can stop it? Even if I kill all the women in the world, he can still love the gorilla, try his best to love when he has love, and let go when he has no love. ”
At least Yunzhou is now a good man who not only has love, but also a sense of responsibility.
When he becomes the patriarch, he is qualified to know the ultimate secret of the family.
Arturo's Wealth Code, a secret passage underground.
The secret was recorded in a box, from which the patriarch could read the secret information after placing a transparent mark on his forehead through the official succession ceremony.
Yun Zhou has mastered the secret, and the underground and above-ground transportation lines are still operating normally, and the business of the Xi clan is doing so.
The change of power is most evident in the change of personnel.
The business is still those businesses, just the people in charge, with some changes.
If the Xi clan was a car, then Yun Zhou and his brothers had already removed a lot of original parts and replaced them with their own.
The difference is that these 'parts' have their own ideas and therefore cannot be carried forward.
Otherwise, one wheel turns east and one wheel turns west, and the car will go.
Yunzhou left the people who could be used, and the remaining positions were all replaced by his subordinates.
He was busy with everything outside Xiyuan, and someone asked me to make a decision on the things in the garden.
How should the wives left behind by the previous patriarch be settled, and what will happen to the uncles who are not yet ten years old?
Among Yunzhou's brothers, few are over fourteen or adult, and more than a dozen are under the age of ten.
The mothers of these children are not strong and have no say in the back house.
Whether the previous patriarch lives or dies, their future is not determined by themselves.
But since I am in charge of this matter, I will summon them all together to hear what they think.
Their children are young, and they are not very old.
The eldest of them is 28 years old, and I think it's very inhumane to ask them to stay in the backyard for the rest of their lives.
In order to eliminate the thoughts they left, I will first explain that since the position of patriarch was inherited by Yunzhou, the next patriarch can only be Yunzhou's child.
Even if his brothers stayed in Xiyuan, there was no possibility of succeeding to the throne.
If you want to leave, I won't be embarrassed, and I will send them away quietly.
If you are willing to go back to your parents' home, it is all voluntary.
After a few trials, they believed me.
I was able to open my heart and express my thoughts.
Some of them took a fancy to the former patriarch and married in as concubines for 'love'.
Some of them were given as gifts by their families.
There are also those who want money, status, and all have any purpose.
I understand and approve of the fact that I have just married and have no children and no daughters and want to leave.
There is a lover waiting outside, go out to love, I also support it.
In the end, there was nowhere to go.
I showed them another way to start their own business.
When you are in your teens or twenties, you stay in the inner courtyard of the deep house to care for the elderly, which is really untrue.
The capital to buy a house and buy a house came out of Xiyuan, the former patriarch married so many wives, he always had to arrange them after he died, although the others were gone, but fortunately, I arranged them for him.
If you have to stay, I will also leave a sentence in advance, there are no idlers in Xiyuan.
Unless it is to retirement age, in this world, it is appropriate for a woman to retire at the age of forty.
If you want to eat and die before you are twenty years old, we don't have the budget.
In the past, the set of rules was set by the wife of the former patriarch, and as long as she married in, she could receive living expenses as long as she served the patriarch well and gave birth to children and daughters.
Now that the principal has changed, the rules in the backyard have to change.
"The eldest lady said it lightly... In the future, the patriarch will take concubines, and you will let them work and make money to support their families? "There are a few nail households left, with no children and no daughters, who are several years younger than me, and they refuse to leave Xiyuan and come to my yard to make trouble.
"I don't have the rules of taking concubines, the patriarch wants to marry a little wife, and I'm not an unkind person, I can't care if I raise it outside and take out his own private money to support it."
This is to be said to them, perfunctory.
After all, if I say that if the patriarch dares to take a concubine, I will leave immediately, which sounds too much like angry words.
"None of the previous patriarchs have ever married such a jealous lady."
"That is, the head of a family, three wives and four concubines are few, if the eldest lady governs the backyard like this, I am afraid it will be ...... Hmph~"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sit for long!"
"I just do it for a day, I can also take care of things for a day, the severance pay has been handed over to you, and if I don't move out, I won't pick up people, just collect rent on a daily basis, if you don't pay, stop the firewood first, and then cut off the water, and make trouble to that step of the field, I'm not afraid, it's boring to be idle anyway, and it's good to have the addiction of a charter wife."
"You-"
"We are your elders, and you are so rude!"
"Yo? Want to be my mother-in-law? That's unfortunate, in my heart, there is only one mother-in-law, and that is the mother of the polar night. ”
The old steward in Xiyuan has already revealed it to me in private.
These thorns, pressed by a few ladies before, are as honest as quails.
They just look at me as young and have no background to support me, and they want to use my seniority to suppress me.
If Xiqing or Xixuan ascended to the position of patriarch, the old wives of the two of them would inevitably slaughter them all and give them to the patriarch for burial.
They didn't expect that the last person to sit in that seat would be Yunzhou, a marginal boy who has never been taken seriously.
They think Yunzhou is easy to bully, and I am also a soft persimmon.
The old housekeeper told me not to be like them, they had lived in the inner house for a long time, and the ex-wives were strict with them, and they didn't know much about the outside world.
has been under soft/confined for a long time, and they were finally released, and they got a little carried away.
"Since we are the wives of the former patriarch, we are half of your mother-in-law after all, if you treat us harshly, don't think about it for the rest of your life, just wait to be pointed at."
"Spit stars can drown you too!"
"Big lady, the whole clan is watching, it's better to leave some leeway for you to do things."
I listened to their threatening and exhortatory words, and pulled the corners of my mouth.
"Now the gate of Xiyuan is open to you in and out, you go outside to inquire what kind of person I am, and then come and talk to me."
I was about to go out, so I left them behind.
I'm not there, and it's not interesting for them to spend time in the yard.
It's been a long time since they've been out of the house, and they haven't been in contact with the outside world.
With my permission, they sent their maids out.
The next day, no one came to my hospital again.
Within three days, they didn't even say hello, so they hurriedly found a place to stay and moved out of Xiyuan.
I didn't send anyone to watch, it was not easy for them to live in the garden for many years, and before leaving, they could take whatever they liked.
But a few days after they went out, rumors began to spread outside.
said that the wife of the new patriarch of the Xi clan could not tolerate a young and beautiful woman in the backyard.
No matter what identity you are, you can get rid of them all.
Only the grandmother-level ones are left behind, and they are aged in the backyard.
It is true that there are still a few concubines of Grandpa Yunzhou in the backyard, and they are old, so it is impossible for me to clear them out.
But the newcomers in the courtyard are the little girls who show their talents and hook up with Yunzhou, and they were driven out by him.
But the account went to me.
In less than half a month, my name as a jealous woman was confirmed.
Yunzhou was so angry about this that I persuaded him in turn that reputation was the least valuable thing to me.
What's more, it's for the backyard of the inner house, whether there are such rumors, those who want to borrow 'color' to get to the top in the future know that I am jealous and ruthless, and I don't dare to come forward easily.
