Great Ye Empress

Chapter 4 Doubt

After half an hour.

The main room of Ronghe Courtyard.

Mrs. Xie, who was dressed in a round-necked brocade robe with ink-colored treasures and flowers, had a solemn face. She and Mrs. Xie sat on both sides of the golden silk ebony bed. Xie Yunchu on the carpet.

"Bianjing and Yongjia are thousands of miles away. You are frail and have never been out of Yongjia. How do you know about the court? Who taught you those words just now?" Mrs. Xie's voice was loud and majestic.

Xie Yunchu kowtowed and said: "Back to my grandfather, no one taught Liulang. Liulang is just a steward sent back to Yongjia by his uncle to give New Year gifts every year, or from the businessmen, tourists and students who came to Yongjia from Bianjing to learn about some of the happenings in Beijing. It is not difficult to roughly sort out the relationship between the court and the court from these things, whether it is interesting or important."

When Xie Erye, who was sitting at the bottom, heard this, he gripped the armrest of the seat harder and harder. He glanced at his father, his eyes fell on Xie Yunchu again, and his brows became Sichuan characters.

Mr. Xie stared at his grandson with low brows and pleasing eyes, and rubbed the wrench on his fingertips.

In the past few years, the first prince and the third prince have competed for favor in front of the emperor, causing a lot of trouble.

Ordinary people are far from the core of power, and even if they say it, they can't cause trouble, so they like to chat about the affairs of the royal family and the noble family.

But to sort out the relationship between the court and the court from these things, for a thirteen-year-old child, if this is not difficult, then... it is a talent.

"It's not difficult in your mouth, but it's really not easy!"

Grandpa Xie's tone was going to be more gentle just now, but Xie Yunchu could still hear the doubts in it.

"The eldest prince and the third prince, they were born together as princes, but there is only one dragon chair in Da Ye." Xie Yunchu looked directly at the calm eyes of Mrs. Xie, who seemed to be able to read people's hearts, and his voice was steady, "Behind the eldest prince are Concubine Gao and Concubine Gao. The Gao clan, behind the third prince is the queen and the Xiao clan. The future and honor of their two princes are the future and honor of the Gao clan and the Xiao clan! Even if the two princes do not fight, the Gao clan and the Xiao clan will also stand for them. It is the same reason that the Xie clan will spare no effort to help the uncle get the position of minister."

As princes, they were born in the game, neither the Gao family nor the Xiao family would allow them to retreat, nor could they retreat...

The battle for the throne has always been a matter of life and death. Once you get caught in it, whoever retires will die.

Grandpa Xie rubbed his fingers with his fingers for a while, and his eyes seemed to have brilliance, and he was quickly hidden behind calm.

This is the first time that Grandpa Xie has looked at Xie Yunchu for the first time since he woke up from Xie Yunchu's poisoning...become mediocre and weak.

Xie Erye, however, was sitting on pins and needles because of his father's deepening eyes. This child had no source of information... but he was able to dismantle the open and secret struggle in the court with the simplest reason.

Being so keen on the court situation, my father would definitely take a high look.

But she... is not Rokuro, she is a woman!Does she not know? !
What does she want to do!
Xie Yunchu ignored Erye Xie's unease, and she went on to say...

"The Su family sent their daughter to the First Prince's Mansion and into the First Prince's family, then... as the uncle's niece, the eldest sister was tortured and fled back to Yongjia, and my Xie family also sent the eldest sister back to the Su family, the outside world will only Guess the uncle is determined to follow the eldest prince!"

Grandpa Xie picked up the azure sweet porcelain teacup in his hand and pondered.

"The Minister of Officials is an important position in charge of the selection, assessment, and promotion of officials. Even if the three princes and one party can't push their own people up, they will definitely not let the first prince's people go up."

Grandpa Xie clenched his hand tightly on the teacup, and pretended to calmly blow the heat into the teacup: "So, Liu Lang, are you optimistic about the third prince?"

Xie Yunchu shook his head: "The grandson is not optimistic about the third prince, but after thinking about it, he feels that the reason why the eldest princess is graceful and can last for a long time is that the eldest princess has never been involved in party disputes. The eldest prince and the third prince distanced themselves from each other, looking for the long-term, not the present."

Xie Erye didn't want his eldest daughter to stay in the devil's den of the Su family again. He took a deep look at Xie Yunchu, and then persuaded the old master Xie...

"Father, now the emperor is in his prime and is in good health. The First Prince's Party and the Third Prince's Party are all good. After all, it is the power of the mother family behind it. They don't have a choice, but the Xie family and the eldest princess generally have it. You can wait and see for the time being, and you don’t have to get involved in party disputes prematurely.”

Grandpa Xie frowned and took a long sigh: "But... the opportunity is rare, if your eldest brother can successfully take the post of Minister of Officials this time, then the Xie family will be considered to have an important minister above the Great Ye Dynasty. Further, you can enter the cabinet."

Grandpa Xie put down the teacup and leaned on the small table: "Although there is a party dispute between the two princes in the DPRK, my Xie family may not be able to win the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Your eldest brother has served in the Ministry of Personnel for many years. This is one of the candidates for the Minister of Officials, if the first prince is backed by the first prince, with the great help of the first prince and his party, if the first prince can aspire to the supreme position in the future, it will be a blessing for my Xie family."

When Second Master Xie heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter. Could it be true that he wanted his daughter to stay in the Su family?
Xie Yunchu glanced at the thoughtful Mrs. Xie...

Sure enough, what Mrs. Xie cared about most was the position of Minister of Officials, and he was bound to get it.

If you can't give a way to get the position of Minister of Officials, you can't impress Mrs. Xie.

"My grandson looks at history and knows that the struggle for succession has always been a life-and-death struggle. If you succeed, you will be a king, and if you lose, you will be a bandit. Although the dragon's power can be honored, the dark waves are too turbulent! True, but if the First Prince is defeated, even if the Xie clan will not be implicated and suffer, at least three generations have no hope of succeeding."

She looked at Grandpa Xie with her clear eyes and said, "Furthermore, the reputation of Xie's family in Chen County and the prestige of my grandfather can help the uncle to win the position of Minister of Officials in a clean way, so why do you have to get involved in the chaos of the party? ?"

Grandpa Xie raised his eyes when he heard the words, and came to the interest: "Rokuro, come and listen."
