Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 97 Young Master Xie ([-])

Yiman smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want you to come to Zuiyun Tower to drink tea with me when you are free."

Are you really going to accept a male favorite?

Xie Zhao rubbed his knees nervously and looked at each other with his cousins.

"Also, those of you who should take the imperial examination should take the imperial examination, those who should join the army should join the army, and those of you who should be serving as police officers should quickly enter the official career."

The Xie brothers were stunned and suddenly felt a little strange.

"What does eldest princess mean?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and looked at the busy people outside the window, and said calmly: "Literally."

Xie Sheng scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Xie Zhao and Xie Lanke are holding it, Xie Rong can also join the army. I am just a police officer, and my moral character is not outstanding, so forget it."

Unexpectedly, the most humble Xie Sheng was the first to understand what she meant.

Yiman's eyes moved towards him and began to look at him carefully.

Xie Rong frowned, with an unconvinced look on his face, "I didn't practice martial arts just to join the army."

Yiman looked at the boy Lang Lang with a smile, "To protect your family and country, you can join the army, and to help the strong and the weak, you can enter the world. If it is to protect yourself, it is not necessary. You are all sons of aristocratic families, but you are not in a critical position. Usually there are people Guards, you are not worth the risk of being assassinated by others. Then why do you practice such high-level martial arts?"

Xie Rong lowered his head slightly, feeling entangled.

Xie Lan, who had been silent all this time, slowly raised his head, his eyes as quiet as dead water, "How did the eldest princess know that Xie Rong was good at martial arts?"

Some well-known and unspeakable things fermented in the air.

At this time, Xie Zhao also reacted, raising his eyebrows with disbelief in his eyes.Doubt and shock appeared on his face at the same time, and his voice was broken, as if he didn't dare to speak.

"Princess, it's Lingchi who wants to form a party in the harem."

Yiman raised his eyes and glanced at him impatiently, "I know that you can cut the flesh with one knife, but it's only more than 3000 knives. You can't handle it with your body, so don't worry."

"Thank you princess."

Xie Zhao thanked him unintentionally, picked up the tea cup with trembling hands, and spilled half of the tea because of the trembling, and quickly took a sip to calm his shock.

Yiman looked at Xie Zhao and smiled, "I thought you would be bold because of your glib tone, but unexpectedly you turned out to be the least courageous. Look at them, they don't have much reaction."

Xie Zhao turned his neck stiffly, glanced at his cousins, and smiled bitterly, "Da, eldest princess Cao Min——"

"If we don't agree, what will the eldest princess do?"

Xie Lan, the most dangerous person, spoke calmly.

Yiman took a sip of tea and looked out the window with calm eyes, "The Xie family is a noble family, but it is also a pro-emperor family supported by the royal family. It has an awkward position among all the powerful families. In the following decades, Xie family The family must choose a side. Either join with those aristocratic families that have hundreds of years of heritage, resist the imperial power, and eventually become cannon fodder, and the family will be destroyed. Or stand with the imperial power and preserve the elite power to continue to develop." "The emperor is really going to take action against the aristocratic family. ?”

Yiman glanced at the excited Xie Rong, then saw his brothers gouging him out and smiled slightly.

"Even if His Majesty wants to take action against major aristocratic families, it has nothing to do with me and the younger generation. We will follow the family's arrangements."

Yiman nodded, "That makes sense. But now the head of the Xie family can't make up his mind and is looking around. It seems to be a sophisticated calculation. Whoever is more advantageous in the future, he can immediately choose a side without any loss. But in fact, as long as When the Xie family starts to wait and see, it is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the royal family. After all, being loyal to the king is your obligation and duty. So no matter what choice the Xie family makes in the future, your majesty will definitely remember this."

The Xie brothers looked solemn, obviously understanding the reasoning, but did not answer the question.

"As for what it has to do with you? Of course it's because you are the hope of preserving the Xie family. You and others are all direct descendants of the Xie family. No accident, you will be the ones to lead the entire Xie family forward in the future. Even if you don't want to If you pursue an official career, the Xie family will also force two of you to enter the court. Because in the future, the Xie family will not be able to have an empty court. Therefore, by allowing you to enter the official career, this palace is just telling you the path you have set. "

Xie Zhao said with a distant smile, "Even so, Your Majesty can just summon us directly. What does it mean for the eldest princess to meet by chance today?"

Yiman admired him in his heart. He was indeed one of the best talents in the Xie family, and his reactions were quick.

"Of course it's because my royal brother is the prince, and the prince is the future king. If my father summons you, it is equivalent to summoning the head of the Xie family. Do you think it is useful?"

"Then the eldest princess is here this time on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Majesty?"

Yiman chuckled, "Do you think there is any difference to you?"

Xie Zhao laughed twice, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

They have not yet entered the official career. To put it nicely, they are the sons of aristocratic families, but to put it bluntly, they are ordinary people.Whether you know it or not at this time is neither qualified nor useful.

Seeing a few people lowering their heads slightly and thinking, Yiman smiled and said, "Of course, you can also go to the heads of the Cui family or the Zhou family now and sell this palace. See if these old foxes will sell you These little kids in their eyes are swept away."

Yi Man changed the topic, "But if you are standing behind me, you can do as I say, wait and see for a while, leave a smooth path for the Xie family in front of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and keep a glimmer of hope in your heart. Such a deal , beneficial and harmless.”

Xie Lan raised his quiet eyes and looked at Yiman, "What the eldest princess said makes sense."

Xie Zhao and his brothers looked at each other and smiled at Yiman, "Princess, can you give us time to think about it?"

Yiman's face turned cold suddenly, causing Xie Zhao's smile to freeze.

"I don't have that much free time. There is no need to reply to me when you have made your decision. Spring is only a month away, so you just have to show it with your actions."

"But it's only January, so it's definitely too late to prepare for the exam. Can we extend it until the spring of next year?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and looked at the nervous Xie Zhao. This was not a question about preparation for the exam at all. It was about asking for time to think about it.These little foxes clearly want to wait and see, taking the initiative in their hands.

"I see that my aunt is in the Xie family, and I was protected by her when she was a child. I don't want her to be harmed by the Xie family in her later years. This spring is the only opportunity for this palace. As for preparing for the exam - you have been exposed to civil servants since you were young. You have an advantage over students from poor families. Since you were young, you have been taught by various famous teachers in the clan. For you, Chunwei's routine has been imitated many times. If you fail to pass the exam, the Xie family, I’m afraid I’ll be laughed to death.”

Seeing that it was punctured, Xie Zhao was surprised and embarrassed, and the fabric on his knees was almost torn.
