Chapter 383: The Xu Family and the Civil Officials
"What you said is true?" Xu Huizu asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe news brought by Xu Mengyu was too shocking, even Xu Huizu didn't dare to believe it immediately, but asked rhetorically.
Xu Mengyu nodded and said, "Big brother, this is true, my grandson told me, ask me to tell my eldest brother." I also asked my grandson several times before I dared to be sure that it was really His Majesty who wanted to take Xu Miaojin as a concubine. ā
At this time, Xu Huizu had already understood Yun Xi's intentions: not only was he worried that Yun Xi would doubt the Xu family, but Yun Xi was also worried that their Xu family would be inclined to King Yan. The Xu family, as the first military general of the Ming Dynasty, has too much hidden power in the army, and if it is to help King Yan, it will not be a good thing for Yun Xi.
And Yun Xi can't dispose of the Xu family now: even in the peaceful years when there was nothing, to deal with the family of the first military general of the Ming Dynasty had to be repeatedly studied and carefully arranged, and it was impossible to take down the Xu family easily, not to mention that there was a rebellion outside now, and it was impossible to act rashly.
Therefore, Yun Xi won over or stabilized the Xu family by marrying Xu Miaojin.
However, Xu Huizu's analysis is a little biased. If the Xu family is determined to assist Zhu Di, how can it be changed because he married a daughter of the Xu family? Anyway, Yun Xi would never think so.
The most important reason is that Yun Xi later generations have read this period of history books and know that Xu Huizu himself is actually loyal to the imperial court. He can be loyal to Yun Wen, and it is impossible for Yun Xi to be disloyal to Yun Xi, who is better than Yun Wei to the military, right? Therefore, Yun Xi made a decision on the basis of Xu Huizu's loyalty to himself.
Marrying Xu Miaojin is enough to make Xu Huizu, who is already more loyal, even less rebellious, and will also show all the people of the Xu family faction that he still trusts the Xu family very much, so as to eliminate the doubts of some generals.
But no matter what, Xu Huizu didn't have any mistakes in understanding Yun Xi's intentions, and a relaxed look appeared on his face, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, although he seemed to be a little sorry for his little sister.
Xu Mengyu looked at Xu Huizu's face, because she knew that her eldest brother was actually not very satisfied with marrying Xu Miaojin to Yunxi as a concubine, so she guessed that something must have happened, or even a major event that would affect the Xu family before the eldest brother showed such an expression.
So Xu Mengyu asked softly, "Big brother, what happened?" So that you would be satisfied with marrying Xu Miaojin to His Majesty as a concubine? ā
Xu Huizu said in embarrassment: "Third sister, this is a major matter related to the imperial court, and His Majesty specially instructed that you can't tell anyone else, so the eldest brother can't tell you now." You'll find out later. ā
When Xu Mengyu saw the eldest brother's expression, he also understood that it should be a great deal, and said, "Since that's the case, I won't ask." But the eldest brother, the fourth sister will definitely ask in the future, and if you don't tell the fourth sister the truth, it is estimated that the fourth sister will not agree. ā
"The fourth sister has been stubborn since she was a child, if you don't tell her the truth, the fourth sister can make a big fuss! So I don't know if it's okay, you must explain things clearly with the fourth sister. ā
Xu Huizu listened to Xu Mengyu's words, and suddenly remembered Xu Miaojin's temperament, and had a headache.
Xu Mengyu continued: "In that case, eldest brother, I will go back first, when you talk to the fourth sister, it is difficult for me to say this thing that I am inconvenient to know." ā
"If the fourth sister is still reluctant, then tomorrow the eldest brother will send someone to call the younger sister from King An's mansion."
After saying this, Xu Mengyu said goodbye and went back. Xu Huizu was thinking about how to persuade Xu Miaojin, so he sent Xu Mengyu away.
Xu Huizu, who had sent Xu Mengyu away, sat in the hall for a while before getting up and going to Xu Miaojin's courtyard.
When Xu Huizu walked to Xu Miaojin's yard, he saw Xu Miaojin reading a book. Speaking of which, since Xu Miaojin knew that the clan she met was Yunxi, it seemed that she had suddenly become much quieter, and she could read the history books that she didn't like to read the most, and a few days ago she told a 'story' that Xu Huizu didn't even know.
Xu Miaojin saw Xu Huizu walk in, put down the book in his hand, stood up and said, "What is the eldest brother coming to me for this time?" ā
Xu Huizu said: "There are some things. ā
However, he was suddenly embarrassed to say what he wanted to say to Xu Miaojin, so he changed the topic and said, "What book are you reading?" ā
Xu Miaojin didn't ask any questions, and replied: "I was watching "Warring States Policy", and Touching Long said that Empress Dowager Zhao. I saw the 'queen of the swallow, holding his heel and crying, thinking of his sorrow, and mourning. It has been done, and it is not for Fusi, and the sacrifice will be blessed, and the blessing will say: 'Do not rebel.' ''This paragraph. ā
Xu Huizu was a little puzzled: he glanced at the cover of the book just now, although he didn't see what the words were, but it was definitely not three words, how could it be "Warring States Policy"?
Then Xu Huizu noticed that Xu Miaojin had said all the original text just now, and then he read the original text carefully, and then said to Xu Miaojin with a guilty face: "You know everything? ā
Touching Long said that the overall intention of the Empress Dowager Zhao is to love children and have far-reaching plans, but Xu Miaojin took out these sentences alone, and the intention was different from the whole.
Xu Miaojin said calmly: "The third sister came back suddenly just now, talked to you for a while and then left, and then you came to me with an embarrassed face, if I can't guess what the hell is going on, isn't it too dull?" ā
Xu Huizu said with some guilt: "I can't help it. ā
Xu Miaojin asked, "Tell me, who is from which family?" ā
Xu Huizu was silent for a moment and then said, "It's for Your Majesty to be a concubine." ā
Xu Miaojin's eyes immediately widened and said, "Why? What happened? Didn't I say that I wouldn't be a concubine! What's going on? ā
Then she thought about what happened last night and said, "When you entered the palace last night, what did Your Majesty say to you!" ā
Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and said, "It's King Yan who may rebel." ā
Xu Miaojin's mind turned, and she thought of the cause and effect, but she immediately said: "If you had already had the intention of helping King Yan, Your Majesty would not think that marrying me would dispel your intention to help." ā
Then Xu Miaojin continued: "It must be that Your Majesty actually knows that you are loyal to him, but he is afraid that the three of them will become tigers and accumulate ruins, so he decided to marry me into the palace to block other people's mouths." ā
Xu Huizu listened to Xu Miaojin's explanation and had a bright feeling: No wonder I always felt that something was wrong in my previous analysis, it turned out to be like this.
But he immediately came back to his senses and said, "Sister, you." He actually wanted to say how she could still analyze the reason calmly now, but he couldn't continue.
Xu Miaojin said to herself: "How am I." Why is our family not a small family, I know Your Majesty's personality, and I know that the palace is not a Longtan tiger's den. I heard that the whole family was very worried before the queen entered the palace, how could our family be like this. ā
"Besides, as long as Your Majesty doesn't want to get rid of the Xu family, then I'll be fine; If Your Majesty wants to get rid of the Xu family, even if there is a lot of harmony in the palace, I will not have a way out. ā
"Besides, I have a good impression of Your Majesty, and you usually talk about analyzing Your Majesty, so I know a lot about Your Majesty, and it is not a blind marriage, it is better than marrying someone I don't know at all when I am eighteen years old."
Xu Miaojin said it too clearly, but Xu Huizu didn't know what to say, and muttered for a long time before saying, "That, that." Your Majesty estimates that I will marry you into the palace in the next few days, our family,"
Xu Miaojin interrupted him and said: "I am not entering the palace as a queen, but as a concubine, our family does not need to prepare anything else except for marrying a few maids into the palace." ā
Although Xu Huizu was blocked by her again, he was even more embarrassed, feeling that he was even more sorry for Xu Miaojin. Then he only said one sentence: "Fourth sister, I'm sorry for you, and my eldest brother can't stand you." Then he ran away as if he were running away.
Xu Miaojin slowly sat down on the bed, threw the book aside, and sat quietly without other movements. It can be seen from this that she is actually not as calm as she was in front of Xu Huizu just now.
====================================================
When Lian Zining and the others came out of the palace, Yan Zhen asked Chen Xingshan directly: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly want to go to the palace in person, does Lord Chen know why?" ā
Li Ren was also a little curious, and asked, "Yes, Lord Chen, do you know why?" They all felt that Chen Xingshan was the most trusted by Yunxi among these people, so they all asked Chen Xingshan.
Chen Xingshan shook his head and said, "I don't know. ā
Yan Zhenzhi and Li Ren looked at the expressions of Lian Zining, Jingqing and others, and they didn't seem to know, so Yan Zhenzhi said again: "I heard that His Majesty urgently summoned a few noble generals into the palace last night, is it related to this?" ā
Jing Qing said: "Could it be that there is a bigger change in Shandong? ā
Lian Zining said: "Something happened in Shandong? It's quite possible. Could it be that Kaifeng Mansion was broken by Cheng Rebellion? ā
Jingqing said: "How is it possible? It's only been a few days, and even if the news is breached, it is absolutely impossible to reach the capital. Besides, Kaifeng City is very strong, how could it be breached so quickly! ā
Li Ren said: "This is not accurate. What if Cao Xing suddenly rebelled! This is perhaps, before Shandong's Xie Cheng rebelled, everyone couldn't have guessed that he would rebel. ā
Yan Zhen said bluntly: "It's unlikely, Xie Cheng has no children and no daughters, and his parents are dead, so he has nothing to worry about; Cao Xing's children are all in the capital, so he won't rebel. ā
Chen Xingshan also said: "Cao Xing is very fond of his youngest son, and it is unlikely that he will rebel. ā
Lian Zining said: "Regardless of whether Cao Xing will defect or not, Xie Cheng's rebellion will attract the attention of the imperial court. If the generals don't read poetry and books, how can they have the concept of loyalty! Therefore, the imperial court should be the same as Zhao and Song, with literature and martial arts. Lian Zining understands the truth that the ass determines the head, so as a civil official, he took the opportunity to peddle his opinions.
The others were also civil officials, except for Chen Xingshan who did not echo Lian Zining's words, everyone else echoed his words. In particular, Jing Qing, who was in charge of the military department, said: "Zhao Song's methods cannot be taken all, it is not possible to let civilian officials who do not know soldiers manage the guards, but civilian officials who know soldiers can be cultivated!" ā
