Chapter 882 Seven out
Zhang Minghe sighed, and said, "Mr. Xie Ge, why are you bothering? Why offend people to death? I heard that Gu Yushi insisted on not taking concubines because of his respect for Zhang. If you send a girl here to be a concubine, if something happens, won’t it make a fuss that everyone inside and outside the government will know about it?”
Xie Tiaoxin said, no one is afraid of offending him to death!
Xie Tiao didn't speak, and Zhang Minghe couldn't continue talking. This matter can't be resolved for a while, and since he just came back from the funeral of Emperor Daxing, everyone is old and tired, so let's leave first up.
Xie Tiao returned home, sat alone in Qijianzhai for a long time, he regretted a little, he should not have married his granddaughter to Xiao Xun, if Xiao Xun was just a prince today, the Xie family would have the ability to protect her, but Xiao Xun Xun is now the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven seems to be a ninety-five-year-old man with a strong promise, but Xie Tiao knows that the more he sits in the highest position, the more people are staring at him from all sides, and the more he will not be free.
Xie Zhongbai was appointed as the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, and he never moved his position these years. He was worried about his old father, and looked at the door of Qijianzhai many times. Seeing that the lights inside were still on and his father would not come out, he had no choice but to come forward and knock on the door.
Xie Tiao asked Shen Shuang to let him in, and Shen Shuang served tea for the two of them, then went out and closed the door behind him.
"Father, what happened? My son heard that the emperor is going to seal the empress. Is there something wrong with it?" Xie Zhongbai asked worriedly. In recent years, the emperor has not even had a housemate besides his niece and daughter. She is pregnant, so does the emperor still have the ability to find a woman temporarily to be the empress?
Xie Tiao told the emperor's plan, and he was helpless, "I'm also very happy that the emperor has this heart. He values sister Wei very much. If the ceremony of enthroning the empress and enthronement ceremony is the same, sister Wei can give birth to a son. No matter what happens in the future, Sister Wei's position as empress will be secure. It's just... this will indeed cause a lot of criticism, and now I don't know whether it is good or not, should I persuade the emperor. "
Xie Tiao certainly understands the truth that too much is too much.
Xie Zhongbai couldn't think of a reason for this, so he suggested, "Father, do you want to write a letter to your elder brother? Listen to his opinion?"
Xie Tiao waved his hand, "Once the emperor decides to seal the empress, since the emperor values sister Wei so much, he will definitely let your eldest brother come back. We don't have to do more. Right now, do more and make more mistakes!"
Speaking of this, Xie Tiao said, "You can ask me for leave tomorrow, just say that I have a headache, if someone asks, just say, I have to go to Yanjing City to find the princess to help me treat my illness, you are going to do it these days Now, if the emperor leaves for Yanjing, we will go with him as soon as possible."
Before Xie Zhongbai had time to agree, Shen Shuang pushed open the door and walked in quickly, "Old Master, Second Master, Guanshi Li said he has something urgent to see!"
Upon hearing that it was urgent, Xie Tiao said, "Let him in!"
Li Lu came in, and after saluting, he said, "Old Master, there was news from the Gu family that Mrs. Gu died, and she died less than a quarter of an hour after Miss Zhang's sedan chair entered through the back corner door."
The expression on Xie Tiao's face was very ugly, there was a moment of silence in the room, Xie Zhongbai didn't understand what happened, but seeing his father's faint anger, he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Who is reporting the news?" Xie Tiao endured for a moment and asked.
"It was the steward of Zhang Ge's hometown who came to report, saying that Mr. Zhang Ge said that it's not that Zhang's daughter is not as valuable as Xie's daughter, but that no matter how big things are, they can't be bigger than the word 'li'!"
The door was closed again, Xie Zhongbai asked, "Father, what happened?"
Zhang's aunt is not dead, so what does it have to do with Xie's family?
Xie Tiao had no choice but to say that the cabinet ministers objected to the same regulations as the enthronement ceremony and the enthronement ceremony, and said, "Zhang Quanjin is forcing me to make concessions and force a good daughter to death. I don't have his ruthlessness." .”
Xie Zhongbai could feel his father's anger, he was also very angry, and couldn't help saying, "Mr. Zhang Ge is in a hurry to go to the doctor. If he has the ability, he will go to dissuade the emperor and put Xie's family on the fire. How many people are there?" mean?"
He was very anxious, and moved his buttocks on the chair, "Father, what should we do now? Could it be that the Zhang family lost an aunt, and the Xie family should not make concessions? In the future, others will use this trick to force us, what should we do?"
Xie Tiao smiled. He was a little tired. He rested his head on the chair, looked at the dust on the beam, and said, "Tomorrow, you go to Gu's house in person to express condolences to Mrs. Gu. Don't need to say too much. It's the Zhang family, the Xie family is the Xie family, and the Xie family has its own principles in how the Xie family works."
"yes!"
The next day, Xie Zhongbai first went to the secret pavilion to help his father ask for leave, and then went to the home of Gu Yuande, the censor of the capital, to express his condolences. He went a little early, and happened to meet Zhang Quanjin's wife getting off the carriage. Like a weeping woman, there is a strong nanny on the left and right sides, but they can't support her.
"My son, you died unjustly!"
Xie Zhongbai heard him back and forth and said this sentence, and said nothing else. The eldest wife of the Gu family has not yet been buried, and the coffin has not yet been laid out. Those who come are those who are close, so come to help first.
Xie Zhongbai came here first at the order of his father, and heard someone whispering, "I heard that Mrs. Gu was ordered by Zhang Gelao, she must either ask herself to come down, or..."
The man wiped his own neck, and the people next to him trembled when they heard this, "Why is this? There are so many childless people in the world. If you take a concubine and give birth to a son, you will be fine. Is it possible that Mr. Gu has even accepted the concubine's son?" I don’t have any money for my concubine?”
"How could it be? I heard that Mrs. Zhang Ge reprimanded Mrs. Gu for seven years of having nothing to do, and not helping her husband to take concubines and raise his aunt. He committed the crime of seven times!"
Xie Zhongbai gasped, he hurriedly saluted, greeted Gu Yuande, and left.
Back home, his father was still in Qijianzhai, Xie Zhongbai hurried over and saw his father wearing a stone-blue Taoist robe with a silk sash tied around his waist, writing leisurely.
"Father!" He hurriedly saluted, and before his father could ask, he said what he had heard, "Father, could it be that Zhang Quanjin is using Mrs. Gu's death to force father?"
"You can force me, my Xie family's reputation is not exchanged for the life and honor of the Xie family's daughter." Xie Tiao didn't even raise his head, "You don't have to worry about this matter, you have been doing it for a few days. Pack the boxes and cages at home with peace of mind, see which ones to take and which ones not to take, arrange those people to go with them, and those people to stay and guard the house, spend more time!"
"Yes!" Xie Zhongbai breathed a sigh of relief seeing that his father was confident.
He was about to leave when he remembered something, turned his head and looked at his father, hesitated to speak, and before he could speak, Xie Tiao said, "Sister Hui's departure from the cabinet, don't need to tell Mrs. Xiao for now."
The second update!
