Chapter 81: The Caged Bird
It's a hard thing to decide.
It stands to reason that the Shanyin Xie clan is the royal family of the descendant family, and it is also the mother family of the Son of Yuanzhao, no matter what, the Shanyin Xie clan will be the most staunch supporter of the Son of Heaven, but the Shanyin Xie clan is also divided into factions, the Empress Dowager Xie in the capital was born in the big house of the Shanyin Xie family, and Xie Dai was born in the second room.
After the change of Shen Yan four years ago, there was no room for the six princes in the capital, but no matter where it was placed, the Son of Heaven would not be at ease, so the Son of Heaven threw this extremely hot trouble to Xie Dai's family.
Because of this, there is this conversation between Zhao Yi and Xie Dai, without this condition, Xie Dai would be the most loyal fan of Yuan Zhao Tianzi, and it is impossible to talk to Zhao Yi about even half a word.
General Xie, who has also been in and out of the court for more than ten years, was silent for a long time, then looked up at Zhao Yi and said silently: "The southwest corner is far from enough for me, a relative of the imperial family, to bet, and Shanyin is not a place where Taifu Li can fiddle casually, so Zhao Gongzi should go to find other vassal kings." ”
This result was not unexpected by Zhao Yi, he looked at Xie Dai with a smile, and said lightly: "Shanyin Xie is indeed a relative of the emperor, but your General Xie may not be a relative of the emperor, otherwise when the six princes were driven out of the capital, why didn't the Son of Heaven hand him over to his own grandfather to raise, but to your General Xie?" ”
"Why is Xie Jing stupid like that, now in charge of the military power in the court, and the authority in his hands is almost comparable to the top generals of the breeder, but you, General Xie, were driven back to his hometown to fish?"
Xie Dai was expressionless and silent.
Zhao Yi said slowly: "The Sixth Prince...... It is also from the Empress Dowager Xie, he ascended to the throne, the Xie family is still a descendant, and your General Xie Dai's situation will be much better than now. ”
Xie Dai showed a smile of gratitude on his face, he looked at Zhao Yi lightly, and said, "Didn't Zhao Gongzi treat me as a three-year-old child?" With the current situation in the southwest, Li Taifu is just using the vassal royal clan to take advantage of the situation, and if he really enters the capital, he Li Changan wants to continue to support the Ji family, and the people in the southwest will not agree. ”
He glanced at Zhao Yi and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Your son-in-law Zhao and your father Zhao You'an are the first to object."
It is true that at this point, as long as a discerning person can see that the current situation in the southwest is no longer under the control of Li Xin or someone, after all, it is a major event of rebellion, and if it fails, the whole family will die together, such a big risk, there is no reason to succeed who to be a grandson.
Xie Dai is a very smart person, and he has figured this out a long time ago.
In today's southwest, the relationship with the imperial court is even worse than that of the army back then, and it has basically reached the point of becoming a fire and water.
Although what this young man said was very tempting, whether it was the big room or the second room, it was the Shanyin Xie family, and all the children of the family had the determination to die for the family, and there was no reason to drag the entire Shanyin Xie family into the fire pit because of him.
Zhao Yi was stunned, then silently withdrew the fishing rod, got up and saluted Xie Dai quite respectfully, and said: "No wonder my father-in-law said that in the Xie clan in Shanyin, there is only such a beautiful tree as General Xie. ”
Xie Dai stood up, glanced thoughtfully at the young man in front of him, and asked, "Where is Zhao Gongzi going?" ”
Zhao Yi bowed his head slightly: "Go to Gusu." ”
After saying this, Zhao Yi turned around and left silently.
Xie Dai stood alone in place, silently looking at Zhao Yi's back, stunned for a long time.
After a while, he turned on his horse and prepared to go back to San'in, but on the way back to San'in, he felt that something was not quite right, so he turned his horse's head and ran out of the city.
In the north of Shanyin City, there is a large piece of farmland, because in the past ten years, the Xie family has become stronger and stronger, and has bought a lot of fields outside the city, most of which are bought at low prices, and the local government can only turn a blind eye, just as if they did not see it.
After a large number of households, there is a small mountain, locally called the upper mountain, at the foot of the mountain is a courtyard of the second room of the Xie family, which was built during the Taikang period, and it has been seven or eight years so far.
After stopping at the gate of this courtyard, Xie Dai turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a descendant about thirty years old opened the door for Xie Dai, and after seeing Xie Dai, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Third master." ”
Xie Dai is the third in his generation, Xie Jing is the second, as for the eldest of this generation, he died a few years ago and has never enjoyed the blessings of the emperor's relatives.
Xie Dai nodded at him and asked, "That ...... Are you alright? ”
After talking to Zhao Yi, Xie Dai felt that something was wrong, he was a descendant, a royal prince, and there was no reason to put down his identity to be with the southwest thieves, with the wisdom of that Mrs. Li, it was impossible not to think of this, but he still sent his own son to find himself......
There must be something strange about this.
He immediately thought of whether it would be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
Therefore, he personally rushed to this courtyard to visit the six princes.
This subordinate said in a low voice: "Back to the third master, that one is very good, but in recent months, he occasionally wants to go out for a walk, and he loses his temper if he doesn't go out." ”
Xie Dai nodded and said, "He's almost ten years old this year, it's normal to want to go out, I'll go in and take a look at him now." ”
"Third master, please."
This courtyard is not big, but it is not small, and after the subordinate led the way, after walking for a while, he walked to the backyard.
In the backyard, a young man in ordinary clothes was sitting under the pavilion and writing.
Xie Dai walked over, lowered his head and clenched his fists, and said, "I've seen Your Highness." ”
The sixth prince put down the brush in his hand, glanced up at Xie Dai, and snorted lightly: "General Xie came to see me?" ”
Xie Dai shook his head, walked to the side of the sixth prince, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has also lived here for a few months, I don't know if you have the habit of living?" ”
"I'm not used to it."
Ji Ying looked up at Xie Dai and said angrily: "You can't help but say that you locked me up in this wilderness, and Uncle Qian was also lost by you!" ”
He gritted his teeth: "Did you kill Uncle Qian?" ”
Uncle Qian, whose name is Qian Tong, was a subordinate who came to Shanyin with the Six Princes in the early years, and followed the Six Princes for many years, but after Xie Dai was demoted back to Sanyin before mathematics, he not only changed the place for the Six Princes to live, but also forcibly separated the subordinate named Qian Tong from the Six Princes.
Xie Dai bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, Qian Tong is Taifu Li's person, and now that there are some changes in the imperial court, Qian Tong can't stay by your side." ”
"When this time has passed, I will send him back to His Highness."
The sixth prince reached out and touched the iron plates that had been hanging around his neck, gritted his teeth and did not speak.
When he was sent out of the capital four years ago, he stayed in the Jing'an Hou Mansion for one night, but Li Xin gave him a promise, that is, to save his life, at that time Li Xin sent a person by his side, and gave him an iron plate of Yu Linwei, promising that if one day his life was threatened, he would give the iron card to this person around him, and Li Xin would think of ways to save his life.
That person is Qian Tong, who has been with him for more than four years.
As a prisoner under the stairs, the sixth prince couldn't resist anything, he glanced at Xie Dai silently, and said impatiently: "Uncle came to see me today, what happened?" ”
Xie Dai bowed his head slightly and spoke.
"Your Highness, San'in is not very safe now."
"You...... May have to live in another place. ”
