"What about Mr. Xie and Mr. Gu? What did they get?"
"It is said that Prince Gu is a prostitute."
"What about Mr. Xie?"
"That's right? Where is Mr. Xie?"
Mr. Xie is so knowledgeable that he won the title of Huiyuan in one fell swoop in the spring. Is it possible that he still fell out of the top three in the palace examination?
Shouldn't it?
"Did Mr. Xie make a mistake?"
"Thank you, Master..."
There was a lot of noise and discussion below in the lobby, and several people in the room looked at each other in confusion.
Xie Yixiao couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said to Jiang Zhaoling: "Let me borrow your carriage, and you will ask them to take you back to your grandmother's house."
Jiang Zhaoling knew in her heart that she wanted to go to Xie's house, so she nodded: "Go ahead."
Xie Yixiao took Ming Xin Ming Jing down to Chang'an Tower, got on the carriage and went to Xie's house.
The news from the Xie family came earlier than outside. They got the news early this morning. After arranging the matter, they returned to the house and sat together to discuss the matter. They also asked Xie Jin whether he had missed the point.
Xie Jin thought about the paper he wrote, and then said: "If you want to say it was a mistake, it is definitely not possible."
"If it wasn't a mistake, then it was His Majesty's intention?" Mr. Xie suddenly spoke, and everyone present felt trembling and raised their heads to look at him.
Xie Yian frowned for a moment, then slowly relaxed his eyebrows and said: "The Xie family's power and reputation should not get any bigger."
Nowadays, the Xie family lineage, not counting the minor officials and minor officials from the collateral lineage, is just a few of the direct lineage, three fathers and sons from the same family, all of whom are in high positions, one is a first-grade cabinet bachelor, and the other is a second-grade bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
A fourth-grade young minister of Dali Temple.
If Xie Qingshan was still around back then, his current achievements would probably be pretty good.
If there is another champion, no matter in terms of power or reputation, it will indeed be too much.
Xie Yizhen also nodded: "It's really hard for the Xie family to produce another top scholar."
Xie Yi'an asked Mr. Xie: "Does your Majesty have any intention of beating up the Xie family?"
There must be some knocking.
Mr. Xie said: "That should be the meaning, but we have done nothing wrong in these years and have done a lot of practical things. His Majesty also knows it, but there are only so many certain things. If the Xie family takes too much, others will
No chance."
"Your Majesty also doesn't want the Xie family to be too powerful, not just the Xie family, but any other family as well."
Your Majesty is not a coward, but rather a wise man. But as a king, he needs to check and balance hundreds of families, and cannot let one clan grow bigger to threaten the court.
"To the outside world, Huaijin just said that he failed in the imperial examination."
Xie Jin stood up, saluted, and said, "Yes, grandfather."
Mr. Xie leaned on the chair and asked him with a smile: "So, it is unfair to you, but do you have any resentment in your heart?"
Xie Jin said: "I just heard about this, and my grandson is really unwilling to accept it. My grandson started enlightenment at the age of three and studied at the age of five. He is twenty-one this year. He has been studying hard for more than ten years. You can imagine the hard work."
"But the grandson also understands in his heart that he was born in the Xie family and is the son of the Xie family. I have obtained the prosperity and wealth of the Xie family. I also deserve the consequences that the Xie family has to bear. The grandson has no resentment in his heart. He just feels that
It’s just a little regretful.”
After all, who doesn’t want to be the No. 1 pick?
"But don't worry, Grandpa, even if my grandson has never won the top prize, he will still be no worse than others. Aren't my father and second uncle also a Jinshi? Now he is no worse."
Seeing his calm expression, Mr. Xie smiled: "Yes, he is the son of my Xie family."
When Xie Yixiao arrived at the Xie family, the Xie family members had already dispersed and were doing whatever they had to do, as if nothing had happened.
After Xie Yixiao went to see Mrs. Xie, he went to Tangyuan to meet Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie was enjoying tea in the courtyard. When he saw her coming, he called her to come and sit down: "It's Thirteen. Why are you back today free? Sit down quickly. I just got some good tea. Let me share a cup with you."
"Uncle." Xie Yi smiled and stepped forward to salute, then sat down opposite him.
Mr. Xie moved slowly and said nothing. Soon after, he gave her a cup of tea and asked her to try it. After she drank it, he asked her how she liked it.
Xie Yixiao thought for a while and said: "The tea tastes a little astringent in the mouth, but it has a sweet aftertaste."
Mr. Xie smiled: "I know what you want to ask. A family should not be too prosperous. It is common sense that the Xie family has talents from generation to generation, but it is not too prosperous. Only in this way can it last for a long time.
.”
Xie Yixiao paused: "Uncle, do you mean that this matter is the Xie family's intention?"
Mr. Xie didn't want to tell her that this was His Majesty's intention. He was afraid that she would worry, so he said: "You don't have to worry about Huai Jin. The reputation of being the number one scholar is the icing on the cake, or not. With his ability, he will definitely be the best in the future."
It won’t be bad.”
Xie Yixiao nodded when he heard this, and felt relieved: "That's good."
This news quickly spread throughout the Imperial City. When Xie Jin went out, he also met many people asking about the matter. He always said that he made a mistake in front of the palace, which was really a pity.
After everyone heard his explanation, they felt extremely sorry for him.
This statement quickly reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor smiled and said to the prince beside him: "The Xie family has always been smart."
The prince said: "If I were not smart, when the dynasty changed, the Xie family would have disappeared long ago. Even if it existed, it would have been in decline long ago."
The Xie family has always been smart, knowledgeable, and flexible. When the court needs them, they will stand up to share your worries. If they are no longer needed, they will retreat.
Moreover, the children in the family are many capable people who should be used, but they will not keep climbing up the pole in search of more.
Give him what he wants, and don't ask for anything if you don't give it.
The emperor said: "Your aunt told me before that she fell in love with Xie's daughter to be her daughter-in-law. I did not agree with it before, but since she is interested, I have to consider her ideas."
The sons of the Xie family are too outstanding, and it is precisely because of their excellence that they are feared by those in power. Not only can such a family not be allowed to be relatives, but even the sons of the royal family must consider marrying them.
"Since the Xie family is so knowledgeable, you can tell Rong Xun that I am right."
If a son of the Rong family were to marry, he would naturally not need the emperor's consent. But now that Rong Ci has returned, he should inherit the title of his maternal ancestors in the future. In this way, his marriage requires the emperor's approval.
OK.
The prince smiled: "My aunt has been waiting for your words."
The emperor also smiled: "Speaking of which, since she has taken a fancy to it, if I don't agree, she will probably destroy my Tai Chi Palace. In this case, it will be as she wishes."
"As for the younger generation of the Xie family, it's up to you to decide what to do in the future. If it's just a matter of convenience, it won't be a big deal..."
