After hearing this, Xie Qionghua raised his eyes and looked at the cousin in front of him, and then he figured it out after thinking about it for a moment.
"This is the first New Year's Eve since the prince came to power. After today and tomorrow, the court will seal the deal, and there are still many things that have not been dealt with.
It would be interesting if the old men of the third prince, or the current members of the sixth and seventh princes, take advantage of this moment to launch an attack."
Xie Songhua shook his head, with a hint of worry on his face, "I hope they can think about the overall situation and not cause any trouble at this time. Daqi cannot withstand their repeated efforts."
If the sisters could think of such a thing, so could everyone else in the court.
When the sky was getting dark, Xie Yuncang had already changed into court clothes, and the people sent by the palace should be arriving soon.
After a while, Xie Feiwu, also dressed in court uniform, walked in from outside.
A few days ago, Cui Shangshu finally took office, and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, who had been supporting the prince, took over.
Xie Feiwu, who was at the bottom of the queue, also took the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
This is both reasonable and unexpected.
Although there is no very obvious expression, people with a sensitive sense of smell can still tell that the prince is not very satisfied with Xie Shoufu.
This can be seen in the handling of several recent government affairs.
Nowadays, people speculate that there are two main reasons for the disagreement between the prince and his chief assistant.
One public and one private.
In the past, the prince did not show up, so no one noticed. The prince was quite critical of King Chen for a while.
After all, because of Emperor Yufeng's favor for King Chen, every prince was very respectful to King Chen, and the prince was no exception.
But now that the imperial power is declining and the crown prince is powerful, some secret methods have become apparent under the observation of interested people.
For example, Princess Chen left the capital suddenly, or the prince paid a visit to Prince Chen's mansion the next day.
No matter from which angle you look at it, it is full of subtle feelings.
Then Da Rong and Da Qi went to war, and the prince's series of measures made people believe this more and more.
Han Jian and King Chen have always been at odds with each other. At a time like this, Han Jian would naturally try his best to trip up King Chen.
But at this time, the prince was not like Emperor Yufeng in the past, trying his best to resolve the conflict between the two people.
The attitude he showed was vaguely supportive of Han Jian.
And Xie Yuncang's legitimate daughter married King Chen and became Princess Chen.
Even after King Chen got married, he always behaved as he did before the marriage and kept a distance from everyone in the court.
However, Princess Chen had a very good relationship with the Xie Mansion and would go back to her parents' house to stay for a while from time to time. Therefore, the prince believed that the relationship between the Xie Mansion and the Prince Chen Mansion was very good.
This is just because I am on the job.
Another reason is related to the prince's personal affairs.
Everyone knows about the scandal that happened in the eldest princess's palace, and even because of this incident, Emperor Yufeng at that time treated the prince very coldly.
And the adopted daughter of the Xie family entered the Eastern Palace because of such a disgraceful status.
If it is for this reason that the prince and the Xie family are at odds, it seems to be justified.
But this is not the case.
After the adopted daughter of the Xie family entered the East Palace, she actually gained the favor of the prince, although no one knew how she did it.
But it is undeniable that the prince is really overly fond of the adopted daughter of the Xie family.
As a result, the female members of the Qi family were even allowed to enter the palace.
As a result, the personal grudge between the Xie family and the prince was exposed.
Even though the prince loved Jiang Liangdi so much, the Xie family had always been very cold. Instead of making friends with Dong Gong, they actually wanted to stay away from her.
Isn't this too dishonest? There are even rumors that when Jiang Liangdi first gained favor, she even tried to go to the Xie Mansion, hoping to increase the relationship between the Xie Mansion and the East Palace as a concubine of the East Palace.
.
But the result was not so smooth.
Regarding this point, many courtiers admired Xie Yuncang's determination.
But no one dared to get involved in the delicate relationship between Xie Yuncang and the prince.
After all, they were two people at the pinnacle of power.
Xie Feiwu knew what his brother was thinking when he saw the melancholy on his face. He sighed and said: "Brother, the angels outside should have arrived. No matter what, let's deal with tonight first!
Even after today, there is still urgent delivery!”
Xie Yuncang sighed inaudibly, "There are so many government orders pressing on the Secretary of Ceremonies and Zhan Shifu. I don't know when they will be resolved. They are all major issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood next year. Each of these people are
It’s like a child’s play.”
Xie Feiwu also had an unhappy face, but he still encouraged him: "Tonight is the first time for His Highness to host a small New Year's banquet. Anyway, let's not be late, otherwise we will be criticized."
Xie Yuncang came to his senses and patted his younger brother's shoulder gently, "Actually, I don't agree with your promotion this time."
"I know."
Xie Feiwu's answer surprised Xie Yuncang. He glanced at his brother in surprise and then understood.
There are some things he can think of, and his brother can naturally think of them too.
The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
The Xie family is looking at the scenery now, but there are constraints everywhere.
Mr. Yun, whom he trusted so much at the beginning, turned out to be the prince's secret agent. It actually took Xie Yuncang a lot of time to digest this matter.
Because of some encounters between the two of them, he had almost nothing to hide from Mr. Yun.
And if all those things are really revealed, the Xie family will not be far from destruction.
Fortunately, Mr. Yun is gone.
It's really gone.
Before I left, I sent him a letter. In addition to apologizing, there was also some special character.
When he heard that he had tied stones and sunk into the pond, Xie Yuncang couldn't tell whether he was relieved or suffocated and sad.
But he was somewhat relieved. As for what happened before, he no longer cared about how much the prince knew.
Just be prepared for the worst.
He did not tell Xie Feiwu or anyone else in his family about these things.
Xie Feiwuruo is still just a young doctor. If something happens to him in the future, it will be his blessing.
The reason why my younger brother didn't know about this, but knew that he shouldn't stand too high, was because of the current turbulent situation in the court.
When the carriage arrived at the palace, Xie Yuncang got off the carriage, not too early nor too late, which was similar to his style all the way.
Xie Feiwu patted the hand of Mr. Yu who came with him and said, "After we leave, I will wait for you here. If you come first, just wait in the carriage."
Now that the Yu family is also a third-grade imperial concubine, the old lady is getting older, and the Qi family often reports illness, so she must attend such a small New Year's banquet.
Seeing her husband's worried look, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I also have a few good friends in Beijing on weekdays. I'll just sit with them later."
It's not that Xie Feiwu can't trust his wife, he just thinks that such an occasion is not what his wife is used to, so he is inevitably a little worried.
Seeing her walking out, he suddenly warned: "You don't need to pay attention to the matters in the East Palace. Just sit back and watch. If..."
She hesitated for a moment and then continued: "If Jiang Liangdi comes to see you, you just need to say hello politely and don't offend anyone."
The couple in the third room of the Xie family are the most affectionate. There is no secret between them. They think the same about Jiang Shuhua and his wife. Don't provoke them casually, let alone offend them. Just don't get involved.
But now it is the home court of the East Palace, and now the Crown Princess is pregnant again. In the Crown Prince's harem, Jiang Liangdi and Concubine Zhao are clearly fighting in the ring.
Getting involved in this kind of thing would be troublesome, and Xie Feiwu would inevitably be worried.
In fact, his worries were not wrong at all. As soon as Mrs. Yu entered, she met Jiang Liangdi walking out holding the hand of the palace maid.
As soon as he saw Mr. Yu, he came forward with a smile on his face and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw Third Aunt. Third Aunt seems to be much younger than before."
