Chapter 463: Marry a Wife and Get a Princess

As a younger sister, Yun Fenghuang naturally didn't care more about the appearance of her brothers than their safety.

Looking at it now, my heart is extremely sour, and I hate the queen next to me, and the Gu family sitting below me even more.

Because of the many rewards today, she was in such a trance, when she came to her senses, Xie Wuzheng's career had already retreated.

"What did Brother Eighteen and Brother Twenty One get?" Yun Fenghuang hurriedly calmed down, and asked the Qing people beside him in a low voice.

The Qing people smiled and said: "Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress, both young masters have received extremely generous rewards..."

Xie Xiaoyu had no fame, was young, and had nothing special to stand out for. When he joined the army, he relied on the honor of his concubine's sister and his cousin's son-in-law. He started from the army and accumulated a lot of credit. Among them, the credit for persuading several tribes to surrender is the most important. , You have to join the Ministry of War and be in charge of the Ministry of Treasury. This official position is not high, but it is a real fat job.

Moreover, the newly promoted Minister of the Ministry of War is Gu Fangshu. As we all know, Gu Fangshu's daughter, the current empress, and Xie Xiyu's sister, the noble concubine Yun Fenghuang, have always had quarrels. Consider the harem to check and balance each other.

After all, although there is a huge gap between the head of the treasury department and the official position of the minister of the Ministry of war, they are in the same department, but they can also play a role in restraining and supervising each other.

Xie Wuzheng, as Yunfenghuang's cousin, is said to be not as close to Xie Xiaoyu in blood, but after all, he is a son-in-law, and the treatment is not comparable to that of Xie Xiaoyu.

When he joined the army, he was a school lieutenant at the beginning, and because the city government's methods were better than Xie Xiaoyu's, his credit also had advantages. After some calculations, he was finally appointed as the governor of Yanzhou.

In the Guochao region, the state is the highest administrative unit, and the governor is the top official in the region.

Moreover, the prime minister of this dynasty often has the experience of grazing a state. The so-called Jubu is nine years old, and he is appointed as the guardian, which shows a bright future.

With Xie Wuzheng's qualifications and age, even with military merits, it is impossible for him to sit in such a position suddenly.

There are two important reasons why he was promoted exceptionally: first, he was an official in the imperial examination, and he was also a head armor; second, he was a son-in-law.

As the saying goes, if you marry a woman, you will get a princess, and if you buy it on flat land, you will be the government.

This dynasty has always had the ethos of honoring emperors and daughters, and it is common practice for the son-in-law to rise to the top.

Not to mention that the emperor was not Xiaozong's own son, and the husband of Xiaozong's biological daughter needed more generous gifts to show his kindness.

Supporting a Xie Wuzheng will satisfy the subjects of the former court and the noble concubines of the harem, so Chunjia will naturally not be stingy.

However, whether it is the head of the Ministry of Treasury or the governor of Yanzhou, it is not easy to take office immediately.

After all, Xie's filial piety is not over yet.

Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiyu's family members are still guarding the north, they came with the army to receive the reward, they can't stay long, so they have to go back immediately, so as not to fall into the trap and cause people to criticize their conduct in the future.

Apart from the two of them, some descendants of the Xie family and the Jiang family have also received the grace of going to the hall to receive the reward, but those people have distant blood, and the other is not very outstanding. Most of them can go to the hall because of Yun Fenghuang and Xie Wuzheng. Yun Fenghuang didn't care too much about the support, and only told the Qing people: "I will also back up the congratulatory gifts and send them over."

Everything went well at the banquet that day, and no one who was not open-eyed came out to make trouble.

Occasionally, some omissions were quickly covered up by Yun Fenghuang's timely response.

At least on the surface, it looks like the monarch and his ministers are enjoying themselves, and the world is enjoying themselves.

The banquet didn't end until late at night, everyone was very tired, Yun Fenghuang didn't have time to tell the two elder brothers in private, so he had to wait until the next day before ordering someone to take them to Huanhua Hall to talk.

The siblings reunited after a long absence, and after much sighing, they gradually calmed down.

Yun Fenghuang then asked about the process of the crusade against Wei He, but Xie Wuzheng only gave some generalizations and was unwilling to mention the details: "It's just that, it seems dangerous before we fight, but the empress is in the palace. Isn't it frightening at every step? If there is no empress, the Xie family would not be what it is today. Even after the destruction of Huizhou City, our clan will have no chance of revenge, and we can only live in depression for the rest of our lives!"

When he said that, Xie Xiaoyu was about to confide, but she swallowed it immediately, and coughed dryly: "That's right. Anyway, it's over, even if I suffered some injuries, it's already healed...Your Majesty, don't worry. For me Waiting for the man to say, these things are nothing. Besides, the concubine lady must have heard about it yesterday, if she stays at home, how can she get such a chance to rise to the top?"

The two brothers are both young. When they were born and died, they might have thought of fear, annoyance and regret. It's just that time has passed and they were hit by the big celebration banquet yesterday. After going through the process of life and death several times, he didn't take it seriously, not only never mentioned it, but also let Yun Fenghuang look away.

Yun Fenghuang was angry and funny at the same time, thinking that they must be afraid that he would be sad and sad by his company, so he didn't say much, just talked a little about his recent situation, mainly about the situation in the front and back palace, and finally dismissed the idlers, Frowning, he asked Xie Wuzheng: "The messenger from before?"

"This matter is too sudden." Xie Wuzheng glanced at Xie Xiaoyu, and then smiled wryly, "Your Majesty knows that after being selected by Ning Guogong, these ministers traveled long distances to the Imperial Capital in the summer, and temporarily stationed at the Imperial Palace. camp, making preparations for the success of entering the city. Suddenly someone said that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess sent someone to deliver a letter from home. I wondered what it was. Who knew that I would only know when I saw it... This matter is really too difficult. These days, I No matter how hard you think, there is nothing you can do!"

Xie Xiaoyu was confused, and said blankly, "What's the matter?"

"Brother Eighteen doesn't know yet?" Yun Fenghuang asked with some surprise, "Did Brother Twenty-One not tell Brother Eighteen?"

Xie Wuzheng was a little embarrassed: "At that time, there were too many people in the camp, and no suitable opportunity was found. This is a big matter, and it is really difficult to announce it."

Yun Fenghuang sighed, probably understood that this was just an excuse, probably because Xie Wuzheng was worried that Xie Xiaoyu would not be able to hold his breath, and after learning about this incident, he was worried and showed traces.

She pondered for a while, and said: "It's really not easy to handle... But there is no unparalleled road, and I have already made arrangements."

After all, the two elder brothers knew about her past with Qi Jiulu, and she didn't want to continue this topic, so she quickly diverted and talked about Xie Fuwang: "This kid looked so pitiful when he first came. I arranged him for The Seventh Prince was a companion to read, and he didn't expect anything at first, but who knows, he is quite qualified, and it seems that he is not worse than Brother Twenty-One."

In fact, Yun Fenghuang doesn't know much about Xie Wuzheng's level at Xie Fuwang's age. After all, Xie's eldest wife and fourth wife have always had conflicts, and because of the fact that the old lady is still around, they have not broken their faces.

Normally, the two sides have no contact except for the appearance of New Year feasts.

She had only heard a few words, saying that Xie Wuzheng, the youngest son of the eldest son, had some qualifications in his studies, and he was the kind of talent who could get in the list.

Later, Xie Wuzheng was the first in high school, Yun Fenghuang knew it well, this result actually has water.

However, looking at the three generations of the Xie family, the two most talented are probably Xie Wuzheng and Xie Fu.

Although this Xie Fuwang is now an illegitimate son, but after recognizing his ancestor and returning to his clan, Xie Xiye has no other living male heirs, he is also a legitimate son, and it is rare to have a good talent. Surprised and delighted, he asked for details one after another.

After listening to Yun Fenghuang's detailed account of Xie Fuwang's changes in these days, especially after being recognized by the emperor's heirs and loved by Wei Changkong and his teachers, Xie Wuzheng's excited eyes were slightly red, and he choked up and said, "So, I will be worthy of Brother Ten when I go underground in the future!"

Xie Xiaoyu also sighed deeply: "I thought back then that our family had many children, and occasionally some were too lazy to make progress. I thought that some of my brothers were hardworking and sensible. When the time comes, they will support each other and live well, so they won't be very supervised. As a result, now ... Sigh... I was thinking a few days ago that the tenth brother is gone, and only such a male heir survived, no matter what, let him bear the responsibility of my fourth family's great-grandson. I am afraid that the child will not grow up in front of us He is big, so he may not obey discipline. Now knowing that he has such qualifications, I feel relieved."

Under the excitement of the two uncles, Xie Wuzheng took the lead and decided to give a part of the reward to buy some properties for Xie Fuwang in the imperial capital.

Yun Fenghuang felt unhappy when he heard this: "This child is now going in and out with the Seventh Prince as a companion. Even if the Seventh Prince goes to the front in the future, he will have a companion's residence. Why are you in a hurry right now? Three fires and four preparations? Even if the Seventh Prince will become a vassal in the future, if this child doesn't follow, how can I wrong him?"

"Ma'am, it's not like this." Xie Wuzheng persuaded, "Our share is for brother ten. After all, Fu Wang is different from Meng'er. Meng'er and the others are girls, and besides, when they entered The palace also agreed to take care of you. Forgot to come here, it is under the banner of filial piety and need to stay in the imperial capital to take care of your body. If this is the case, I am afraid it is inappropriate to live in the palace for a long time. After all, if you don’t say it at other times, Feng For the anniversary of family death, or the New Year’s festival, you have to pay a few sticks of incense far away? Otherwise, the child’s reputation may not get better if the word spreads. But how can he be allowed to pay homage to his family in a place where the palace is so important?”

Xie Xiaoyu nodded when she was reminded: "That's the truth. Not only forget it, but Li'er's side too. This is the omission of the uncles of the ministers. How old are the children now, so it's time to prepare something for them. You can't call everything. The empress subsidizes, although the empress has a noble status, she has many heirs. And after the Jin Dynasty... I am afraid that there will be many places to spend money. What's more, my Xie family's children, ministers and uncles, how can we not take a penny?"

Xie Fuwang and Xie Li are both the grandchildren of Sifang, so they are his brothers' own flesh and blood.

With Jiang's methods, even a naughty daughter like Yun Fenghuang was able to break up with her concubine elder sister to make peace with her concubine sister. Even though the sons of the same mother, because of the careful thinking of their daughters-in-law, they have some calculations after marriage, but overall Feelings are still good.

Thinking of the two nephews who lost the protection of their parents at such a young age, and being the only male heirs left in their respective houses, Xie Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable for a while, and became more generous, wishing to subsidize the two nephews with all the rewards this time That's good: "The left and right ministers have no male heirs under their knees, and their daughter is too young. It's not time for dowry, so let's hold on to her two cousins ​​first."

After discussing with the three brothers and sisters, they made a lot of arrangements for Xie Fuwang and Xie Li.

In addition to businesses such as mansions and shops, Xie Wuzheng also proposed to leave a few families with children for them to use when they leave the palace.

Firstly, it is more convenient in life; secondly, it is also a means for them to practice under the imperial court.

After all, whether it is Xie Fuwang or Xie Li, when a person is in the palace, even if he is a companion, he can serve as a servant, but when he is with the emperor's heir, he must be careful. When they leave the palace and enter the house given to them by their family, they are the real masters of their own affairs.

The identity is different, and the demeanor and demeanor should also change.

What Xie Wuzheng meant was that Xie's family is weak now, as long as the two nephews can support them, they will definitely be able to support them with great strength. So how can we ask them to be low-level servants in the palace?

Always have to learn how to behave in the world outside.

Both Yun Fenghuang and Xie Xiaoyu felt that this was very reasonable. Yun Fenghuang originally wanted to arrange for two maids to serve and live there, but Xie Wuzheng persuaded him to dismiss this idea: "I know the good intentions of the empress, and I also believe that the empress is here. People have a sense of propriety, but they are not afraid of tens of thousands of things, but just in case. The two nephews are still young now. If they are two years older, these young men are full of vigor...not to mention that their bodies and bones are important at their young age, just say we With such a lintel, if they want to marry a noble family in the future, they must have a reputation for cleanliness."

"What the twenty-first brother said is true." Xie Xiaoyu also nodded, and said, "Not to mention the maid who can be controlled by the empress, the two children may not be able to suppress it. Even if the maid is afraid of the empress and dare not take the initiative to seduce, the children are grown up. Afterwards, you may suddenly become confused... If you buy a maid from outside, you may not be reliable if you don’t know the basics, and I’m afraid it’s more ignorant than a palace maid.”

Yun Fenghuang then agreed to Xie Wuzheng's proposal, which was to arrange for some elderly servants from the Xie family to take care of them.

This matter is settled like this, Yun Fenghuang was about to discuss their new assignment with them, Xie Wuzheng remembered something, and asked: "Madam, Kuo'er, no, it's His Royal Highness Princess Xincheng, how is it now?" ?”

"She is doing as usual now." Yun Fenghuang observed their expressions, "Brother Eighteen, Brother Twenty-one, don't you... think this is inappropriate?"
