Chapter 67 Unbearable

"Your Majesty, how could I be so unwise?" Xie Wuzheng prostrated himself on the ground, weeping, "Not to mention that without the help of your Majesty, I would not be where I am today. Just say that there are a lot of high-ranking people in the court today." Even though I have the title of consort, I am single and weak. How can I not hope that my brothers will be outstanding, work together, shine on the lintel, and be used by the empress? I have been instructed by the empress before, and the minister has indeed relied on the face of the eldest princess for the past two days. I have collected some rare records. It’s just that these are all transcribed and sent to the brothers. However, I don’t know why, when His Majesty asked Thirteenth Brother and the others, those records were vague.”

"Those who ask me, have ready-made examples to refer to."

"I was shocked when I heard it, so after resigning from the imperial court, I immediately went to Brother Thirteen to explain."

"But Thirteen Brothers and the others still understand, but the sisters-in-law think that Chen Yi must be hiding something private!"

"Your Majesty, please think about it. Your Majesty has taken five people this time, not just one person, so I need to suppress the brothers! Now the four people who are going to take orders under Lord Ouyang with me, what do you have with me?" coherent?!"

"If the minister can be the master, how can he not hope to go with the brothers?"

"After all, the truth that a single tree cannot support itself was taught by the family since childhood."

"Your Majesty, I am really wronged!"

Yun Fenghuang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said: "I have never heard that you have sent any records with the brothers?"

Xie Wuzheng asked her to confront Xie Xiliu and other brothers: "If Brother Thirteen also said that no one sent the record to him, then I will never argue, and I am willing to accept whatever disposal of the empress."

Yun Fenghuang asked the Qing people to go out of the palace to find Xie Xiliu to ask for clarification, and finally looked at Xie Wuzheng, "Although you and I don't live in the same room, you are still cousins ​​after all, and the same age as me, After all, we are a family! The family has always taught us to be united and harmonious, and I don’t talk about unnecessary things: now the Xie family is on the same level compared with other families in the Northland, but compared with the real big families here in the imperial capital, how big is the gap, presumably You know it too."

"Even if you have to fight for it, with such a small amount of three melons and two dates, is it worth it to trip your own people?"

"After the family gets up, there will be a little bit of contention, so you may not want to make progress, but it is also a good thing."

"The internal strife is so busy at the moment, what is it if it's not shallow eyelids?"

Xie Wuzheng quickly said: "I think so too."

"My family background is shallow, and it's actually a surprise that you are the only one who passed His Majesty's inspection this time." Seeing that his attitude was acceptable, Yun Fenghuang calmed down and said, "But do you know why Your Majesty suddenly thought of you?" ?”

"It must be supported by the empress."

"It is indeed my palace asking His Majesty to give the young ministers a chance." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "So you don't need to worry at all, let alone what I will do in the future, at least I am still quite respectable in front of Your Majesty now. No I said that if you support this, you can’t take care of that. I’m afraid you are not capable enough. I forced you to go up, but in the end I just lost my face. As long as you are good enough, I have a way to introduce you to His Majesty. I understand. Is it?"

It can be recommended, but of course it can also be suppressed.

Xie Wuzheng was very aware of her unfinished words, nodded and said: "I will remember your mother's teachings."

"Today, I told His Majesty that I want to have a good talk with you." Yun Fenghuang glanced around, "Just stay and have lunch with me."

Xie Wuzheng hurriedly thanked her for the meal.

Afterwards, Yun Fenghuang didn't talk to him about it again, but instead asked him about his recent situation. The questions were very detailed, and Xie Wuzheng also answered every question.

After lunch in this way, he left people to drink tea for a while, and only let them go when an inconspicuous servant came in and gave him a wink.

"How?" After Xie Wuzheng left the Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang ordered Chen Jing to come to him and asked him how long ago he went out to investigate.

Chen Jing said in a low voice: "It is true that the son-in-law gave the thirteen sons and the others classics and manuals, but...the thirteenth sons did not tell the thirteenth young lady."

Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked, "Why?"

"..." Chen Jing was a little embarrassed, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "It is said that the thirteenth son went out to visit friends under the pretext of that day, but actually... he went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and the concubine ordered the servant You are not allowed to leave those things in other people's hands, go to the Thirteenth Young Master's mansion and see that the Thirteenth Young Master is not there, just give a reason to resign, and forcefully send it to the Thirteenth Young Master."

"Then why did the thirteenth brother falter in front of the emperor?" Yun Fenghuang's heart sank slightly.

Then I heard Chen Jing say: "The thirteenth son said he didn't know very well, so he suspected that the son-in-law might not have given everything?"

"Your son-in-law is so stupid?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "Either you don't give it, and just presume that there is no shortage of brother; if you give it all, but don't give it all, the emperor asked together in front of them, so you can cover it up. past?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly: I also feel that even if the son-in-law is cautious, he shouldn't be so unwise." Chen Jing whispered, "After all, the fact that the son-in-law was able to enter His Majesty's eyes earlier was the beginning of Deng Wengu's incident. , it can be seen that although the son-in-law is young, he is not confused about major matters. If so, how can he offend the empress when the master is less than a year old and has no heirs, and his position in the court is not stable? In fact, the servants are a little suspicious Three sons."

When he said this, he subconsciously clenched his hands, quite nervous.

After all, Xie Xiliu is Yun Fenghuang's brother, both brothers and sisters' parents are still there, he is a servant, he said that Xie Xiliu is right in front of the imperial concubine, the other is not good, it is a minor matter of falling out of favor, he was directly kicked out It's not surprising that they went out to deal with it.

At this moment, seeing Yun Fenghuang turning his head sideways, his eyes fixed on him coldly, Chen Jing almost wanted to kneel down and apologize.

But he held back, maintained a humble posture, and continued to bite the bullet, "Madam, it's like this, even if the thirteenth son is worried that the thirteenth young lady will be jealous, he dare not say that he received the booklet from the son-in-law in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. , but that day he clearly confessed to his family that he was going to visit his friends. Naturally, he probably made an appointment with his companion as a cover, but why couldn't he tell Mrs. Thirteen that he got the things from his companion? The servant tried a few words, ten The third son is talking about other things... The servant girl proposed that she wanted to show the book to the empress, and the thirteenth son also said that because he was not selected, he burned it in a fit of anger. This?"

"...You mean, Thirteenth Brother may have got something, but due to various reasons, he either didn't pay attention to it, or was negligent, lost or damaged it, and as a result, he didn't know anything about it before asking the emperor, so he didn't dare to tell Ten Third sister-in-law, can’t you get anything?” Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and said, “Well, you go again and ask Brother Thirteen alone what’s going on? If he doesn’t tell me, I will write a book, please I sent my mother to the Imperial Capital to discipline him!"

So after a while, Chen Jing came back to the palace with the truth and reported: "The thirteenth son hurried out that day. Take a bath, that friend really wants to accept it for her. It’s just that the servant sent by the son-in-law didn’t even give it to the thirteenth young lady, so how can she trust her as a prostitute? That’s why the good friend doesn’t like it. He had a fit of anger, and even tore up the book by mistake... The Thirteenth Young Master is doting on that one now, and he is afraid that the Thirteenth Young Madam will not let him go lightly if he finds out, so..."

Before Yun Fenghuang finished speaking, he smashed the tea bowl!

"Sister-in-law thirteen won't be merciless? I won't be merciless!" Yun Fenghuang's chest heaved violently. She was kneeling down to her brother. result? ? ?

If Xie Xiliu was in front of her, she could tear this brother apart!

Immediately ordered Chen Jing, "Immediately, immediately, tell Thirteenth Sister-in-law about this news, and say that she can do whatever she wants, and I will decide everything for her! Also, pass this matter back to Xie's family as soon as possible, and tell Mother!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Seeing this, the left and right hurried up to rub her back and comforted her softly, "The Thirteenth Young Master was also confused for a while, it was just a coincidence, if it was normal, the Thirteenth Young Master would never be so nonsense. "

"Don't help him excuse!" Yun Fenghuang was still angry, waved them away, and said with a sneer, "Why was he confused for a while? How much older is he than the son-in-law??? Besides the thirteenth sister-in-law, there is no one in the room. There is no one, but you still have to steal your mouth outside, and you still play with that bitch..."

She took a few deep breaths to stabilize her emotions, and asked again, "And what's going on in the consort's mansion?"

"My slaves inquired again and again, and they all said that the son-in-law treats Her Royal Highness Princess Sui'an very attentively. She lives like a married couple, and often draws eyebrows and hairpins for Her Highness in the morning." Chen Jing said cautiously, "Besides, the son-in-law never pretends to the maids in the Princess Princess' mansion. In terms of words, those who show signs of seduction are sold directly after discussing with His Royal Highness the Princess. After a few times, the people who serve now are well-behaved and don't look sideways. They say inside and out, and then I've never seen a more loving couple than this."

Yun Fenghuang snorted and said: "He keeps his own place in the mansion, but what about outside? Thirteenth brother is in front of Thirteenth sister-in-law, isn't he pretending to be serious?"

"...The slaves also inquired about it, but they didn't hear that the son-in-law kept any kind of outhouse outside." Chen Jing knew that she was unhappy. After all, the brothers were so unbearable, but the cousins ​​thought it was good. Who could tell? Not feeling stuffy?

At this moment, he became more and more trembling, "Even going in and out with colleagues, I don't like courtesans to throw themselves into my arms, at most let them serve drinks."

In short, Xie Wuzheng is very obedient.

In the case of Xie Xiliu's comparison, it is even more impeccable.

Yun Fenghuang couldn't say a word for a while, but after a while, she regained her energy and said, "Didn't he say that he gave it to all the brothers? Brother Thirteen didn't live up to expectations, what about the others? It's just such a coincidence, things destroyed?"

"...Those young masters didn't do that. The servants also read the books, and asked them what His Majesty asked them that day." Chen Jing hesitated for a while, carefully choosing his words, "It's just that these young masters may be too I was too nervous, and my answer was a bit scattered, so I couldn't satisfy His Majesty."

What is too nervous, in fact, is that the foundation is not good, and the guns were not able to muddle through.

Yun Fenghuang sighed, lost interest for a while, and said, "It's fine for the others, what about Eleventh Brother? Eleventh Brother shouldn't be too nervous?"

Among the descendants of Xie's generation, Xie Fu is recognized as the most talented. Before Xie Wuzheng came out, he was the most watched heir of Xie's family.

There shouldn't be a problem with grinding the gun before the battle, right?

Chen Jing smiled wryly: "Mr. Eleven... said that he was drunk at the prostitute's house the day before, and Mr. Thirteen rushed over to call him the next day, and he was able to get up after pouring two basins of ice water."

In this situation, it is not bad to be selected against talented and well-prepared opponents.

"..." Yun Fenghuang remained silent for a long while.

Chen Jing was also uncomfortable watching, her master was fighting this and that in the palace, it can be said that he was always thinking about revitalizing the family, and the result? Except for the son-in-law, no one in the Xie family is up to the challenge!

The Xie family is now more developed than before, but what is it compared to the real aristocratic families like the Yin family and the Meng family? This is so arrogant and contemptuous, what hope can there be in the future?

"Your Majesty, in fact, His Majesty really has you in his heart." He thought for a while, and persuaded gently, "Even if you know that you and the others are tired, you won't be angry."

Anyway, you have the emperor's favorite, and it looks very stable, so if you don't live up to your family, don't you live up to it?

You don't have to rely on family support either.

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "You said..."

Chen Jing immediately pricked up his ears.

But the imperial concubine paused, then sighed: "Forget it."

She just wanted to ask Chen Jing, if Xie Wuzheng stands out among the brothers, is it true that the other brothers are not up to the mark and he is the only one who is steady and steady, or is Chun Jia deliberately partial when asking, deliberately provoking Xie's discord?

It's just that the words come to the fore, and I realize that even if the emperor has this plan, what can the Xie family's children do with their current tone?

"Bring a pen and paper." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, and finally said, "I want to write the letter myself!"
