Chapter 487: The Controversy of Heirs

The old servant smiled, and said: "Your Majesty is right, so the son-in-law is already preparing... This is also what the son-in-law told the old slave to tell you when he set off this time, so that you can hear what is wrong with him if he is away." Don't worry about His Highness's affairs!"

Yun Fenghuang probably understood what Xie Wuzheng was going to do, most likely he was pretending to be outside to support the outer room or even have children, and wait for the loving mother Empress Dowager to poke her out before making a reversal or something.

After pondering for a while, he said: "The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is cunning, and may not be able to deceive her."

After all, she would not despise Queen Mother Yuan, and presumably Queen Mother Yuan would definitely not despise her either.

Even though Queen Mother Yuan plans to start with Xie Wuzheng...

But can Empress Dowager Yuan enter the city without considering the imperial concubine?

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law needs your help." The old servant said softly, "Forgive me for saying something disrespectful: Since the death of Mrs. Xie, the main bloodline has withered. But before, the eighteenth prince was still there, and there was no one in the other rooms. It is said that there are at least eighteen young masters in the fourth house, even if there is no young master Fu Wang, the ten young masters and the others will have a chance to succeed after all."

Because the four sons of Sifang are born of the same mother as Yun Fenghuang.

If Xie Xiaoyu is alive, even if he has only one daughter under his knees, Yun Fenghuang and his elder brothers will definitely let him adopt the extra children to other childless brothers in the future to pass on the incense.

After all, although the little Cui family is also a noble daughter, the Cui family is not qualified to let the imperial concubine be so scrupulous that brothers are not allowed to take concubines.

This is also Xie Xiaoyu's disappearance. If Xie Xiaoyu is still alive, no matter what his official career is, the imperial concubine will definitely arrange for her brother to take a concubine if she still can't have a son in a year or two.

And there is a high probability that it is not one or two concubines.

How dare the Cui family and Xiao Cui family say "no" at that time?

At this moment, Xie Wuzheng was thinking, if Xie Xiye is gone, even if there is still Xie Fu in the fourth room who forgets to be with Xie Li, firstly, they are juniors, and secondly, there are not a few boys in their teens who die young these days, it is not enough Insurance.

Yun Fenghuang had previously told Xie Wuzheng in private that when he was young, he pretended to be a lover, but when he got older, even if he was still determined, I am afraid that Mrs. Shen and her daughter would not be able to bear the pressure and compromise.

Under such circumstances, wouldn't Xie Wuzheng be expected to find a way to have children and continue Xie's bloodline?

After all, even if Xie Wuzheng is just a cousin, he is not as close as his own brother Xie Xiaoyu... Anyway, he is also the main bloodline, so it is better than those side branches?

"The son-in-law has always had a deep relationship with His Highness, and now he is in the period of filial piety. In the past, he was not a womanizer when he was outside. If his attitude changes suddenly, it will naturally arouse suspicion."

"But if you are concerned about the weakening of Xie's bloodline, you will forcefully arrange for someone to go there...Even if the son-in-law is unwilling, how can you not mediate for a while?"

"When the time comes, the son-in-law will mediate and mediate, and accidentally get it wrong..."

The old servant coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment, "There is no other way, right? Besides, if the empress dowager finds out what happened, how can you say she is not as good as the treasure?"

Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly, indeed, even if the loving mother Empress Dowager sent someone to watch Xie Wuzheng, the main purpose was not Xie Wuzheng and Sui'an, but Yunfenghuang herself!

Just because Xie Wuzheng is raising the outer room and having children outside, may not be able to beat the imperial concubine to death.

At most, the concubine would lose her relatives again and lose face.

With Yun Fenghuang's method, maybe she can sell it miserably, and make the emperor feel sorry for her when she emerges from the mud without staining it?

But if this outer room is arranged by the noble concubine, or even forcibly ordered, the illegitimate child will be treated like a nephew or niece by the noble concubine...

Can the royal family bear it?

Can people in the world not talk about it?

At that time, no matter how much Chunjia dotes on the imperial concubine, considering the fact that he is not Sui'an's real brother, how can he not punish the imperial concubine?

"..." Yun Fenghuang quickly thought in his mind, if Xie Wuzheng is fine, then this is obviously an excellent opportunity to cheat the Queen Mother Yuan; if Xie Wuzheng has a problem, then what is the purpose of his move?

Ordinarily, Xie Wuzheng's current status is enough, so it's fine to cheat other people.

What good would it do him if the imperial concubine fell?

Even if others have promised him a lot, Xie Wuzheng should understand that those promises, not to mention whether they can be fulfilled, even if they are fulfilled, without the concubine as a backer, his status as concubine may not be guaranteed: Suian is also a golden branch and jade leaf , When I dropped him back then, I wasn't unwilling from the beginning to the end, and I didn't even torture him by being pampered and willful. Could it be that she really has a particularly good temper?

A considerable part of the reason is because Sui'an witnessed a series of victories of Concubine Min in the palace.

Even if you have any thoughts and dissatisfaction, you dare not express them at all.

Xiaozong had only three daughters in total, and no one could see that they had a bright future as a son-in-law.

Even if Sui'an has already fallen to Xie Wuzheng, even if Xie Wuzheng treats Sui'an very well, if it weren't for the imperial concubine, there would be ways for wealthy families like the Ouyang family and the Luo family to ruin Xie Wuzheng's reputation, so that the eldest princess would take the initiative to dump him. Get rid of him and find another good son-in-law!

As long as Xie Wuzheng wasn't out of his mind, he shouldn't have harmed Yun Fenghuang at this time.

But, that is now.

Yun Fenghuang thought, if he were Xie Wuzheng.

After the cousins ​​came out, they pulled out the clansmen. I didn't want to be squeezed by the cousins' brothers and sisters, so I cheated the brothers and sisters. I finally depended on each other with the cousins. Seeing that a lot of support is about to come, at this time ... what should be done?

Of course, it is to consider how to deal with the aftermath in case of failure!

As for voluntarily confessing and crying bitterly, pleading guilty and repenting...don't be kidding.

Is Yun Fenghuang the kind of master who ruined her brother's reputation and ruined her own, knelt down and cried and begged for a while, then softened and let it go?

Even if this person is a first cousin, it is impossible.

This point, presumably Xie Wuzheng should also be clear in his heart.

Yun Fenghuang might not do any harm right now, after all, Xie Wuzheng's identity as son-in-law is still there, as if she hated Xie Xiyu for killing his wife and son, but still wanted to save this brother's life. If Jia and Sui'an knew that Xie Wuzheng had harmed Xie Xiaoyu, they would be tired of hating him, but they would be unlikely to admit that Xie Wuzheng should pay for Xie Xiaoyu's life.

Because in the eyes of the royal brothers and sisters, Xie Xiaoyu's life is not enough for Xie Wuzheng to live up to.

Therefore, the most important thing to do at this time is to grasp the handle.

It is impossible to confess.

It's better to pinch a handle to feel more at ease.

Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, and he said slowly: "Actually, Brother 21 didn't talk about it, but I did plan to bring it up. Back then, Brother 21 said that he would not take concubines, so I told you about it." He is so impulsive! In fact, a few days ago, His Majesty recalled the emptiness in Sui'an's knees, and euphemistically hinted that when Brother 21 was young, it was inevitable that he would be hot-blooded. In fact, the matter of Sui'an's heirship in the past two years was very sad. Le, it can be seen that I will not be able to pass this test. Since this is the case, it is fine for Brother Twenty-one to take concubines seriously. Even the concubines, even the maids are ready..."

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law said it. If your mother-in-law says so, you must refuse it for him." The old servant sighed and could see that he actually agreed with Xie Wuzheng's taking a concubine.

But I had to reluctantly tell my master the original words, "The son-in-law said that before the death of the Xie family, there were many children in the clan, even if there were no outstanding brothers in their generation. And the Empress has given me a lot of opportunities to support... The next generation of nephews must be able to reach a higher level! In this way, the Empress does not have to worry about having no one available, and the concubine has some flaws, so that's fine. There is still a little manpower, but after all, the blood is far away, so it may not be able to take care of it. In this case, the son-in-law must not make the slightest mistake."

"How can a mere heir be as important as your mother's plan?"

"Besides..." the old servant looked around and whispered, "My son-in-law said that throughout the ages, there have been many cases of men who have passed their sixtieth birthday and concubines and have children. At the age of the son-in-law, there is really no rush. Wait until the dust settles." Wouldn't it be appropriate to discuss this matter later?"

"But why the rush?"

Seeing the imperial concubine groaning silently, thinking that she still objected, the old servant said again: "Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate now! You don't do anything else, you think about the next step: His Royal Highness King Qin will live in the front next year. Arrive At that time, the candidate for the crown prince will inevitably be brought up again. And the tenth prince and the twelve princes have already lived in the Taichu Palace! Counting the time, the son-in-law will be filial and full of official duties by then, and there will be no heirs under his knees, so he can give you wholeheartedly Running around. If you have an heir, let’s not talk about anything else, just say that there is an extra scruple... Do you think about why Princess Yushan doesn’t have one? That’s the first granddaughter of Emperor Xiaozong!"

"Our family's family background is weak. Although the Zheng family has a bad reputation as a powerful official, but to be fair, in terms of background, the Zheng family is much stronger than our Xie family."

"However, the death of Princess Yushan hasn't been confused until now?"

"That's why the son-in-law said earlier in the morning, let the empress never think of letting him continue the heir. Even if he really wants to do this, it will have to be done after the overall situation is settled."

"Otherwise, the son-in-law asks the empress to forgive me: if he has his own flesh and blood, there is no guarantee that he will serve you and His Royal Highness King Jin wholeheartedly!"

"Or, the empress thinks that the son-in-law is so weak that if he gets older, he will have no hope of having any more children?"

"Even so, Mr. Fuwang and Mr. Li are here. These two are the nephews of the empress, aren't they the nephews of the son-in-law? The son-in-law said that if you really can't have your own flesh and blood in the future, it is the same to have step-heirs under the knees of the two sons." .”

... The words have reached this point, and Yun Fenghuang can't continue to test, so he can only sigh, which is regarded as acquiescing.

After seeing off the old servant that day, the imperial concubine pondered for a moment, and asked Qingren: "What do you think?"
