Chapter 92 Let the World Remember

When Jiang heard the words, he didn't answer directly, but said kindly: "We are all of our own blood, why bother to treat others like this? As long as we can do what we can, let alone an unfeeling invitation, even if it is something that is not easy to tell outsiders, Can my family not try their best to make you get what you want?"

These words sound affectionate, but the implication is that it is easy to talk about things within one's ability, but if it is embarrassing, then don't even think about it.

After all, this is only her nephew, not her own son.

Even if his own son dared to make some silly requests, the Jiang family would definitely not pay attention.

"Thank you, aunt." Xie Wuzheng thanked, and said, "My nephew is wondering if the real culprit behind the murder of His Highness is related to the Zheng family?"

"Zheng?" Jiang pondered, Xie Wuzheng came over under the guise of making an apology, and asked himself to help and urge Yun Fenghuang in the palace to seek justice for Suian, and it was the kind that was converted into taking care of Xie Wuzheng's career. To be fair, this is what she expected.

Otherwise, she wouldn't refuse to speak up.

How many nobles were involved in the matter of the three corpses before, even the Empress Dowager was picked out after Chunjia personally spoke.

The water was so deep, how could she rush into it?

At this moment, after thinking for a while, she said, "The noble concubine has some problems with the former noble concubine who was born in the Zheng family, but the Zheng family has always been sensible and voted for His Majesty early, otherwise, His Majesty would not betroth Princess Yun'an to their children. For two years, I don’t seem to have heard of their targeting of noble concubines...how could they do such a murderous thing against His Royal Highness Sui’an?”

"What my aunt said is true." Xie Wuzheng lowered his head and said, "There is no outsider here at the moment, so my nephew just said it straight: Mrs. Zheng was born in a powerful official. Although she holds a high position, she owes a little bit of integrity. So even if the former noble concubine Zheng had a quarrel with the empress, even if they hated the empress, they would not risk their own family being rejected by His Majesty to do anything. But please think about it, the first emperor had only three His Majesties, Master Minghui The princess is a concubine, not to mention. Yun'an and Sui'an are all concubines, but because they are quiet and obedient, they have always been taken care of by His Majesty. Even the title of the descendant was drawn up by His Majesty himself."

"Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty's throne comes from the late Emperor, so no matter what His Majesty thinks in his heart, in the future, he will take care of the three His Majesties and even their flesh and blood."

"My nephew heard a few days ago that His Majesty originally planned to seal his daughter when His Royal Highness Yun'an gave birth, but was persuaded by the empress, and planned to wait until the child was a full week. The empress did this for the sake of my nephew. Thinking about it with His Highness Sui'an, thinking about fighting for more years of time, maybe this kind of grace can also be given to Princess Sui'an's mansion."

"But now, Sui'an can't give birth, and similar glory in the future, what does it have to do with Sui'an Princess Palace?"

"If things go on like this, do you think His Majesty will favor the Palace of Princess Yun'an more and more?"

Jiang Shi frowned and said: "Don't forget that Yun'an can certainly have children, but you have the support of your mother."

There is a favored imperial concubine to help you beat the side drums, is Zheng Subo a child who can compare?

The emperor himself has so many emperors and daughters, except for Princess Zhaoqing who is under the imperial concubine's knee, do you think he has cared about the second and third emperors?

Xie Wuzheng sighed, and said: "Auntie, my nephew certainly knows that my mother is for us. But my nephew dared to say: a family wants to prosper, relying solely on its daughter to marry a high-ranking family, after all, its foundation is vain and cannot last long. In the final analysis, it is up to the family! The Empress is so favored, she can intercede for us once, twice, three times... or even many times. But even if the Empress is favored, there is not only the Empress alone , Your Majesty still has the Empress, Empress Dowager, and Grand Empress Dowager on top! Every time your Majesty helps us to sideline a fight, who knows how much anger you have received in private, how much thought you have spent, and how many schemes and compromises you have made?"

"Can't it go on like this forever?"

"Even if the mother is not tired at that time, how can I deal with such dignified men as nephews?"

"As a brother, you should rely on your sisters."

"Now it turns out to be a drag on the empress, so it's better to hang the seal and return home, so that the empress can relax faster, right?"

What Jiang said was quite moved, after all Concubine Min Gui in the palace was her own flesh and blood, why didn't she want her daughter to live a more relaxed life, don't have to take care of everything by herself, and also have to keep the family's future in mind?

It's just that after being moved, she was depressed again.

Why isn't this her own son? ? ?

Then think about those own sons who are more than respectful and filial, but obviously not smart enough...

Jiang sighed heartbroken, and said: "Forget it, since you really love my sister, what else can I say? The imperial concubine is my own flesh and blood, and also your first cousin. You are willing to make progress to help her. I can't let you brothers and sisters love each other."

She pondered for a while, and said, "So, your unfeeling request is to convey this conjecture to Your Majesty?"

Xie Wuzheng shook his head and said: "Auntie, what is Sui'an's identity? Even if this matter was done by Mrs. Zheng, let alone our family's background, it is basically impossible to obtain evidence. Even with the help of His Majesty, His Majesty How is it possible to admit it? At most, the Zheng family is dealt with in private, but it will never be made public, otherwise people in the world will think that His Majesty is not wise enough, and even a servant of the Zheng family can deceive the saints?"

Jiang Shi nodded secretly when he heard these words, although what Xie Wuzheng just said was very nice, but who is Jiang Shi?

No matter how excited he was when he heard it, he became suspicious when he turned around, suspecting that Xie Wuzheng was taking advantage of the situation to seek more support from Yun Fenghuang.

However, like Yun Fenghuang's thinking, Jiang also felt that he was not afraid that his children were ambitious, but that they were not capable enough to be ambitious!

If you can decide for yourself, who doesn't want their own flesh and blood or brothers to be the most outstanding?

But the lintel of the Xie family is there, and the four biological sons of Jiang's knees, it is not too much to say how horrible, at least before the rise of the Xie family, they were all one of Jiang's cards, and they were praised by Sangzi virtuous children.

As far as Mr. Xie's previous status was concerned, they were completely able to handle it, even with ease.

But in the past two years, relying on having a favorite concubine, Xie Xishi and the others are not very able to bear it.

This is something that can’t be helped, just like an ordinary scholar who invites someone to give lectures, it is worth celebrating to be able to get a candidate, but if you teach a Jinshi, it is simply overjoyed, as for the number one scholar, to be honest, I dare not even think about it.

But if a serious Confucian starts school, it is only a matter of course that his high school leader is a matter of course.

Xie Xishi and the others are the children taught by ordinary scholars, and their competitors include but are not limited to disciples of Confucianism who are serious about the eight classics, empresses of honor, and heirs of powerful eunuchs...

This is actually not a question of being comparable, the growth and cultivation of the two sides are not at the same level at all.

Now the Jiang family is sighing when they hear Xie Wuzheng's words, among the many disciples of the Xie family, I'm afraid they won't be able to find another one with this vision?

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Auntie, what my nephew thinks is that Sui'an, as the daughter of the late emperor, is His Majesty's heir-sister. Whether His Majesty really loves Sui'an, or to give an explanation to the clan, he will definitely not let this matter go unnoticed!" Xie Wuzheng said softly, "But for us, finding the real culprit who murdered Sui'an is not the most important thing. Because the matter has come to this point, even if the culprit is torn to pieces, it is impossible for my nephew to have a direct relative in this life." Bone and blood."

Jiang frowned slightly, and said: "Whether I or my family, including the empress in the palace, never thought of forbidding you to take a concubine. I just hope that you will read it for the sake of the royal family, and also consider your own future. After His Royal Highness gave birth to his first son, it is all right to have a little entertainment. Now that something like this happened to His Highness, these two days are a time of grief, so even if you want to mention it, it is inconvenient. Even if His Highness is submissive, but you just said Yes, she is above, but His Majesty is still watching. Anyway, you are young, wait for a year and a half, we will persuade you, maybe His Highness will ask you to take a concubine to continue the heir... But why do you insist on yelling at this moment, in vain to displease the Tian Family?"

"Aunt misunderstood." Xie Wuzheng twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "Yesterday, my aunt asked Aunt Ai to go to the Yamen to remind my nephew, how could my nephew be so stupid that he only appeased His Highness last night, today Just thinking about taking a concubine? My nephew is thinking, since it is impossible for my nephew and Sui'an to have a direct heir, no matter whether it is a concubine or an adopted child, in the eyes of His Majesty, clan relatives, including courtiers, Here, the status is definitely not as good as Yun An and Zheng's heirs. In this way, in front of His Majesty, I am afraid that my nephew's weight will be unknowingly compared to that of Zheng Feng's!"

He paused, "My nephew doesn't know if my aunt is willing, but my nephew is not willing! Although Zheng Fengli is a descendant of a powerful official, the Zheng family is now prostrate in front of the imperial court and trembling. The woman they entered the palace, the former imperial concubine Zheng , because of offending our empress, he was deposed as a commoner and given to death! If such a person surpasses his nephew with his real ability, it will be that his nephew will not live up to it! But because His Royal Highness Yun An was not murdered, his nephew really I can't swallow this breath!"

"So my nephew thought, why don't I take concubines at all, and don't continue!"

"Left and right, our family has a small surplus of money, and His Highness is even richer. With the status of our husband and wife, we are not afraid that the old queen will not be relied on!"

The Jiang family was taken aback, and said: "Nonsense! People like us really don't expect their children to take care of them, let alone the eldest princess of the royal family, but how can they not have children?! You are young now, so it's fine if you don't care about these things. When you get older, The children and grandchildren of other people's families are buzzing around their knees, but you are the only one, Her Highness the Eldest Princess, who is relatively silent and dejected, and at that time, you will know how you feel!"

"Auntie, whether you are your mother or not, I have said a truth before, that is, there is no good thing in this world without a reason! There is a price for climbing high branches!" Xie Wuzheng shouted softly, "My mother specially called my nephew at that time. Entering the palace, make it clear in person that the eldest princess of the Royal Family is extremely noble, and she was not something someone like me, Mrs. Xie, could cling to. Even though for various reasons, under the grace of the empress, she got the chance to become the lord, but her nephew was also doomed. It is impossible to treat golden branches and jade leaves with only a little respect like those noble son-in-laws in the previous dynasty!"

"That's why my nephew has spent so much thought and perseverance in serving His Highness since he became the Lord, in fact, it's not at all inferior to preparing for the scientific examination back then!"

Jiang frowned, and said: "I know you have been wronged these days. Although most of the men in our family are well-behaved, there is no such bastard who favors concubines and kills wives, but there are few people in the room who know the cold and the hot." people? You..."

"You don't need to be like that, my nephew said this, not to tell you your grievances." Xie Wuzheng shook his head slightly, and said, "After all, in the matter of taking concubines, anyone with a little money can buy one or two women. It's not such a strange thing. But looking at the world, how many people can marry a real royal daughter? My nephew is very happy about his current situation. If it weren't for being the first cousin of the empress, such a marriage, such an opportunity, would be Impossible to fall on my nephew!"

"So." He didn't give Jiang a chance to intervene, and continued in one breath, "What my nephew means is that since the result of Sui'an's infertility has already been caused, it is useless to track down the real culprit, and it is beyond our family's ability to do so." , Just leave it to His Majesty. Then what we have to consider is how to recover the loss!"

"...recover the loss?" Jiang Shi was slightly stunned.

"Yes." Xie Wuzheng raised his head and stared at her with a sincere expression, but his eyes did not fluctuate, revealing a kind of quiet coldness, "Sui'an can't give birth, and our Xie family can't have the blood of the Gongxiang family." It’s all right for now, but in the future, in front of His Majesty, the favor and inclination he receives will definitely be completely outmatched by Yun An and even Ming Hui!”

After all, even if the heir and the biological son are the same in name, it is difficult to be the same emotionally.

Just think about it, if the children of Yun'an or Minghui made mistakes in the future, even if Chunjia wanted to deal with them, considering that Xiaozong's blood was flowing on them, and he inherited the throne handed down by Xiaozong, then whether it was for selfishness or for the sake of safety, He will be merciful to others' opinions.

What about Xie Wuzheng's heir born or adopted by Sui'an or concubine Ji?

Can there be such a good thing?

"Speaking of which, it's my nephew who doesn't live up to expectations. If my nephew's talents and abilities are superior to Zheng Fengli and Yunxike, there is no need to be so busy."

"But my nephew feels that those two are more talented than my nephew. If it weren't for my mother's support, my nephew would not be their opponent at all!" Xie Wuzheng sighed softly, and said, "So if even the emperor's favor is behind , what will the nephew use to argue with them in the future, and what will he use to share the worries of the empress?"

It's fine for him to lag behind Zheng Fengli and Yunxike, but how can the Jiang family endure when his daughter needs someone to employ, and there is no one in her natal family to rely on?

Her expression suddenly became serious: "You mean...?"

"At that time, the Ji family had a large population, and it was destroyed overnight, which certainly caused an uproar, but how long did it take, and how many people in the market remember it?" Xie Wuzheng said indifferently, "What happened to Sui'an, our Xie family suffered. Now that it’s spread, many people are sure to sympathize with it, but... after a while, they feel that it’s not new, so it’s over. Auntie, this can’t be done, it’s too unfair to Sui’an and us!”

"My nephew wants them, Your Majesty, and the whole country to always remember this incident, and remember that Your Majesty is sorry for Sui'an! Remember the grievances that I, Mrs. Xie, have suffered!!!"

He said coldly, "So my nephew has decided not to have any heirs, no matter whether it is from the concubine Ji or adopted, unless the heavens see that Suian can have children, in short, except for the heirs in her belly, no nephews are wanted!! !"

"..." Jiang's fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, thinking quickly: Originally, Xie Wuzheng took pity on Suian in every way after he became Lord Shang. The couple are loving and harmonious, which is admirable.

It's just that they were married for a short period of time, they were young, and their backgrounds were very different, so everyone didn't find it strange and didn't pay special attention to it.

but……

If Sui'an can't give birth, Xie Wuzheng shouted "I don't want an offspring that is not born by the eldest princess", then continue to be in harmony with Sui'an's love and harmony, it's fine for a short time, after a few years, it will become a good story!

At that time, there will be no need for Mrs. Xie to push the flames, and the story of the son-in-law and the eldest princess will spontaneously spread among the people, about their love, their beauty, their marriage, and their regrets.

Then, as Xie Wuzheng said, the whole world will remember the murder of Princess Suian, the grievances of Xie Wuzheng's son-in-law, and the debt Xie received!

It's true that Xie Wuzheng's knees are empty, but as long as he doesn't do anything particularly outrageous, can Chunjia treat him badly? ? ?

Jiang's eyes flashed, he raised his head, as if he had never seen Xie Wuzheng before, looked at him seriously for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you thought about it?"

Xie Wuzheng nodded: "Think about it."

"Are you sure you don't regret it?"

"I don't regret it." Xie Wuzheng replied quickly, and then added another sentence, "My nephew said something, my aunt is no wonder, the empress in the palace has no biological flesh and blood, but my nephew doesn't feel that the empress is pitiful. Anyway, even my nephew When the eldest princess and princess are alive, they are only step-heirs, when the future is gone, can the clan arrange people to sweep and worship?"

This is for sure, as long as he is an heir from a close lineage, as long as he survives the bundle of hair, even if he goes without getting married, the clan will arrange an heir sooner or later to ensure that there will be someone behind him.

Not to mention Xie Wuzheng's current official career prospects, coupled with the eldest princess's wife, when they are alive, the clan cannot suppress their step-heirs, and when they are gone, the clan will stand up to help clean up the affairs after the death, and the royal family cannot object. I only feel that the family is loyal... This is the meaning of the family at such a time, isn't it just to have someone in front of and behind you to help, so that you don't come and go alone in the world?

Hearing that he compared Yunfenghuang, Jiang took a long breath, and said cautiously: "If that's the case, then I'll go and report to the empress!"

Seeing that Xie Wuzheng showed a slight smile, she said again, "But, this is a big matter. It's not easy to say anything at home, especially your parents, my identity and my empress's status. It's up to you to figure it out."

It's not that she's really bad at what to say, but why?

Xie Wuzheng came up with his own idea, to learn from Yun Fenghuang, to use his heirs in exchange for a good reputation and preferential treatment in his official career. Fang suspected that they made Xie Wuzheng feel wronged by doing such a thankless thing?
