After offending all the princes

Chapter 31

This is the second time for Xuanhe to visit King Zhao's Mansion. The first time they came to congratulate the housewarming when the third son opened the mansion.

There is a water curtain hole in the Xuanhe mansion, and there is a pavilion in the middle of the lake in the old third’s house. A rockery is piled up in the middle of the artificial lake, and a pavilion can be vaguely seen among the green plants. It is very comfortable to enjoy the cool air in summer.

Xie Run entertained Xuanhe here. There was no tea or wine, only a few plates of fruit.Xuan He likes the place and snacks. If he hadn't seen him strangle a parrot with his own eyes, maybe he would also like this brother very much.

It is a very luxurious thing to eat lychees in the capital. Xuanhe once asked the imperial concubine why she didn't like lychees. It seems that in his cognition, the imperial concubine should like to eat lychees.

Maybe it's not that the imperial concubine doesn't love her, but she always knows how to measure, no matter how easy it is to eat lychees or the extravagance of lychees, it is enough for her to restrain herself.

Xuanhe liked it quite a bit, but it was troublesome to peel it off, but Xie Run even prepared water for him to wash his hands, and a very delicate copper lotus basin was placed by his hand.

This thoughtful one is no worse than him at his own home, even seeing the third child is much more pleasing to the eye.

"What's the matter with the third brother looking for me?"

Xie Run didn't want to play tricks on him, and said bluntly, "Did Brother Xuan find out what was going on when Mr. Qiu was intercepted?"

Xuan He raised his eyebrows: "The case is closed, why is the third brother so sure that I am still investigating?"

"At the beginning, there were more than one faction that intercepted Mr. Qiu. Moreover, Commander Qian from Brother Xuan's residence has not been seen for a long time."

Xuan He threw the handkerchief in his hand, and said coldly: "Third brother knows a lot about my family."

"This is a city full of capital, who doesn't have anyone staring at the door, and who doesn't stare at others?"

Xuan He seemed to have gotten to know the third child again, Nahan said, "Why did you change your sex today?"

Xie Run smiled wryly: "I thought about it, brother Xuan doesn't like me probably because I'm not straightforward enough?"

Xuanhe was noncommittal: "So the third brother came to me today to be open and honest?"

"That's right. The fifth brother was imprisoned by seizing the title, and the household department was vacated. Everyone knows that Brother Xuan is good at earning money. Now that he has such an opportunity, why not give it a try?"

This is for Xuanhe to enter the court to participate in politics. Since Xie Run said so, he will naturally support him.

Mutual benefit, help each other.

Xuanhe didn't make a sound. He was thinking about the feasibility of Xie Run's words. If he wanted to enter the court, the most convenient place would be the Ministry of Household Affairs. To make money by advising people.

To put it bluntly, isn't it that he gives the idea, he pays, and the household department gets the money right away?How can there be such a good thing, he is not a low-level businessman who has nothing but money, and the name of the household department is not so attractive to him.

Then I heard Xie Run say: "I heard that Brother Xuan and Seventh Brother are not happy?"

Oh, it came from the corner of the wall.

He was at odds with Xie Chun, and sooner or later they all knew about it, as long as there were no specific reasons involved, there was nothing they couldn't say, so Xuan He pinched a lychee and lowered his head to broadcast it carefully: "I don't like him, and I don't like you either. .”

Xie Run smiled: "Brother Xuan's 19th birthday is coming soon, and my father is already planning your marriage."

The implication is that you are no longer a child, and you can't just do things based on your preferences.

What Xie Run said was not wrong. Judging from the current situation, cooperating with him is much safer than cooperating with Xie Chun. Besides, the third child still cherishes his reputation.

The problem is that he and Xie Run are not sure that they can beat Xie Chun.

Now it seems that Xie Chun is still the weakest one, but this is not the case.After all, they couldn't get out of the capital even after fighting back and forth.Xie Chun was different. He did not actually lead the army, but judging from his influence in Liangzhou, he might not need a soldier amulet to dispatch troops. Behind him stood the General Wei who led the troops stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.

Xie Run has a good reputation in the court, Xuanhe also has money, but it is useless. In the final analysis, the military power determines the political power. Some things were doomed when they fought for each other and finally threw Xie Chun to Liangzhou.

Xuan He said, "I think you can't beat him."

Xie Run restrained his smile, and said after a while, "Brother Xuan underestimated himself too much."

Xuan He shook his head while eating the lychee, he did not underestimate Xie Chun.

"Third brother reminded me. If that's the case, why should I choose between you?"

Xie Run raised his eyebrows lightly, understood what he meant, and didn't force him: "Then we'll wait and see."

Xuanhe doesn't just deal with the third child, he really thinks so, since these people are not good people, why doesn't he rely on himself.

Originally, he thought it would be enough to stand on Xie Chun's side and give him financial support, but he didn't expect Xie Chun to have thoughts about him.

His identity is sensitive, and taking power may cause trouble for the emperor and the noble concubine.He is the king of the county, but his surname is Shen. In the final analysis, he is also a king with a different surname, so he can be rich, but not in power.

As long as the imperial power is not a threat to him, there is really no need to take risks, but if the dragon chair is replaced, it will be the same to them whether he participates in politics or not, but it is the difference between easy to bully and better bully.

He always said that he wanted the emperor to have a grandson, so why not because he was young and easy to control.But the word "youzhu" itself means that the power is left behind. In the era of centralized monarchy, it is not a good thing for the imperial power to be left behind.

There are so many adult princes and so many choices, the courtiers will not agree, and the emperor will not do this.

The power of the whole country supports the royal family, and Xuanhe enjoys all the honor, so naturally he has to consider a thing or two for the people of the world.Besides, when that time comes, who knows if there will be a powerful regent.

If you don't want to be at the mercy of others, you must control the right to speak, but you have to choose a safe method.

Xuanhe only has his subordinates in business and those who take care of him, there is no such thing as a think tank, but he has a noble concubine, who can see the court clearly, so she can naturally advise him.

The imperial concubine said: "I have always wanted to protect myself under the imperial power, either relying on it or fighting against it. What do you want?"

"Now it seems that I can't rely on it."

The imperial concubine's heart is not certain, if she really wants to rely on it, Xie Chun is actually the first choice, because he has other needs, it is the best choice, but Xuanhe is not a woman after all, she will not say this.

"Hundreds of officials in the court, there are very few people who care about themselves, and which ones are not complicated. In the final analysis, these relationships are nothing more than clans, in-laws, teachers and students... Now the Mu family and the Shen family can't count on it. The clan is gone, but the in-laws are not difficult. It depends on how you choose."

Xuanhe didn't expect that this would lead to getting married, so he said with a bitter face: "Of course I also know that getting married is the easiest, but if I marry a wife, I must give her the best, it's fine if I like it, if I don't like it , I'm so aggrieved."

The noble concubine sighed softly, she was worried that if Xuanhe were not married now, they would not be married in the future.

"There is another way."

"Huh? What's the solution?"

The imperial concubine only said three words: "Elder princess."

The eldest princess is the elder sister of the same father and the same mother. When choosing a son-in-law, she chose a son-in-law with a simple relationship.As soon as she got married, she took control of her husband's family. The princess's mansion raised a group of staff to support people of insight and help them enter the court and become officials to develop their strengths.

She is clearly a princess, but she entered the court to participate in politics earlier than any prince, but she didn't show her face directly.

If not, the person who went to Liangzhou back then would probably be the sixth child.

Xuanhe thinks that the eldest princess is because of gender restrictions, and he is because of his sensitive identity. In the final analysis, they are all the same.

In addition, although the sixth child is facing the third child, the eldest princess is not, so this is not a side of power.He is rich, so it is not difficult to win over some people, they can join hands to protect themselves wisely and not stand in line.

"Big sister's poetry meeting has been held a few times, but has someone been chosen?"

Both men and women of the right age can participate in the poetry meeting in the Princess's Mansion. Although the seats are divided, there is a chance to meet each other. The poem drafts are passed on both sides. It can be regarded as a large-scale dating meeting for young men and women. Of course, it is mainly for the sixth prince. .

The sixth child is actually a face-controlling person, he can't forget Su Wanqing as soon as he sees her, but if you say that he is lustful, he doesn't even think about being someone's guest of honor.

Xuanhe was somewhat curious which girl he would take a fancy to.

"The Mu family."

Mu family?That's really a face to face.Xuanhe compared the ages of the Mu family's sisters, and he got a rough idea.

"Is it the second sister?"

The noble concubine nodded, she had always had a good relationship with the eldest princess, a few days ago the eldest princess asked her to take the second girl of the Mu family to live in the palace for a few days, which was a way of raising her status.

After all, the Mu family is not a rich family, they lived in the palace for a short period of time, and said that they were raised by the imperial concubine herself, so it will look better when they get married in the future.

"You don't care about your own marriage, but you care about others."

"How old am I?"

"If you want to choose by yourself, it's easy to find someone you like. Why don't you take this opportunity and ask the eldest princess to hold a few poetry meetings for you."

Xuan He shook his head hastily: "I don't like talented women."

He wanted to refuse the direct engagement, and even refused if asked him to choose himself, so the imperial concubine made some guesses: "Like good-looking ones?"

Everyone in their Mu family is good-looking, and they only like good-looking people. If Xuanhe is like this, it makes sense.

Xuan He thought for a while and said, "It doesn't have to be good-looking, it's better to have a good temper."

"How can you be good-natured?"

"Gentle and generous, but you can play tricks on me."

The imperial concubine became more and more sure of her thoughts just now, and continued to insinuate: "How about the girls in Wanhualou?"

"Of course it's all good."

"Then which one did you see?"

"Huh?" Xuanhe felt something was wrong when he heard this, and couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't like any of them."

"If you don't want to marry a wife, it's clear to ask what kind of wife you like, and I don't see you looking for it, so there are people."

Xuanhe almost swore to the sky: "No."

"It's said that you are young, Mu Ai. Since you were young, you have loved attracting girls. I don't know how many hearts you have cheated. Why haven't you said which one you want to marry? I would rather you be more affectionate. There are only servants in the family. Poor care."

Xuanhe also didn't understand why the beauty's mother cared about these mundane trivial matters today and was still so persistent. He hadn't figured out how to deal with it, so he heard her say: "Forget it, you don't want it, and I don't agree with you." More to say, it's just that I've always been a little uneasy recently, and I want to see you get married."

Xuan He lightly smiled and comforted her: "I can't even take care of myself now, how can I be troubled by marrying a wife? When the dust settles in the future, I will naturally get married."

Having said that, if he wants to get married, he will definitely not be able to get around Xie Chun. He is using his body as bait to deal with the fifth child. Xie Chun dares to teach him how to be a man. If he really gets married, he may not do something.

Even if we don't do it now, what about the future?

Why bother to drag people down.
