Translator: 549690339
Emperor Yu Heng was wholeheartedly paving the way for King Xin ‘an. He arranged the marriage of Princess Xuancheng to the son of Sikong Xiao’s family, so he wanted to pull Sikong Xiao to King Xin’ an’s side. A few days ago, he even made King Xin ‘an acknowledge Chief Justice Xi as his master. How could the Emperor let go of the marriage of King Xin’ an? This was the most important political cost.
“The emperor is busy every day, how can he know everything?”Xie Xian did not hesitate to give Emperor Epsilon a soft nail. The royal family was heartless to begin with, and the Emperor of the Song family especially loved to kill each other. He was blinded by greed to marry into the royal family and send his younger sister into the tiger’s mouth.
In fact, ever since Noble Consort Liu had not died, Xie Xian had been jumping up and down to choose a princess for the Xin ‘an Prince, just in case she had designs on the Xie family one day. How could he miss such a good opportunity to meet Zhuge’s family in Kuaiji?
Between the royal family and the Zhuge family, it was obvious who to choose.
Emperor Yu Heng’s desire for the noble daughter of the aristocratic family to be the Xin An Princess Consort was already clear.
After all, the Xie family was the only one who could compete with the Langya Wang family.
First of all, Wang Xie was considered a top aristocratic family. Secondly, ever since Xie Xian became an official, he had been appreciated by Emperor Yu Heng. It could be said that the monarch and his subjects were in harmony.
In order to better pull him into Xin An King’s battle team, they had to get married.
As for the Xie family, they were about the same age as the Xin ‘an Prince. The third branch’s daughter, Xie Shan, was already engaged, and the remaining daughters were still young. The second branch was born from a concubine, and their qualifications for marriage were limited in the aristocratic families. They would be picky, so Emperor Yu Heng naturally would not mistreat the Xin’ an Prince.
Therefore, the only one to choose was Xie Wan, who was the eldest daughter and Xie Xian’s younger sister. It was enough.
“I wonder if the emperor still remembers the famous Zhuge family of Langya in the previous dynasty…”
Emperor Yu Heng was so shocked that he forgot to change his expression.”His family…There’s someone else?”
“That’s right.”
Xie Xian smiled and said,” There are many talented people in the Zhuge family in Langya. They have been outstanding in the previous dynasty. However, the Zhuge family has never had a prosperous population. In addition, the previous dynasty has been in war for years. The heroes are competing for the deer. People only think that the Zhuge family has no successor.””
“This time, 1 was ordered to quell the rebellion. Only then did 1 know that the chief historian beside the prefect of Kuaiji is the Zhuge family of Langya. The prefect of Kuaiji had limited talent, but he was broad-minded and open-minded. He heard that the Zhuge family in the county was famous for their talent, so he invited him to be the chief historian in the mansion to make plans. He was indispensable in everything.”
“Zhuge Changshi and 1 hit it off at first sight. We saw that he had a son named Zhong Xiu and Yu Ling. He was a young and talented man. So, we exchanged the Geng Tie with each other and made a marriage agreement. We’ll only get married in three years.”
Emperor Yu Heng was filled with regret.
He was the one who sent the person out. Xie Xian was not very willing at the beginning. If he did not go, where would he get married? Would it not properly fall on his son?
He couldn’t ruin the marriage just because Zhuge was penniless. He knew that according to the rules of the aristocratic families, exchanging the invitation cards meant that they were engaged. It wasn’t impossible to ruin the marriage. However, Xin ‘an King was currently cultivating his power and accumulating his reputation. If news of him snatching someone else’s wife spread, it would be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.
Moreover, aristocratic families valued family status. Even if the Zhuge family in Langya was the only one left without a foundation, they were still the Zhuge family and had their own glory!
Of course, this only applied to the top aristocratic families.
If an ordinary small aristocratic family declined, then so be it.
“.. Matriarch Xiao also acknowledged it? Your mother agreed just like that?” “The Zhuge Clan of Langya is known to the world, but they have declined for decades. I’m afraid they don’t have much left. I’m afraid your sister will be wronged if she marries him.”
Xie Xian didn’t mind.
“Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. Besides, don’t you still have my Xie family?”
Emperor Yu Heng was rendered speechless.
That’s right, who lacked money? How could the Xie family be lacking?
As long as the Zhuge family was willing to accept it.
But then again, after getting engaged to Lady Xiao, he became more and more straightforward.
“After listening to what you said, I really want to see this Zhuge Young Master. What kind of Zhong Xiu and Yu Ling is he? He is able to make you like him so much, and he even arranged the marriage not long after we met.”
“Wei Desheng, pass down the order to Zhuge…Zhuge what?”Emperor Yu Heng suddenly realized that he hadn’t even heard of this name before.
“Zhuge Changshi, named Fu, also known as Zhongsi, is the son of Zhuge Shu.”
“Tell the father and son to immediately set off for Jiankang.”
Wei Desheng responded and went out.
Since Xie Xian did not drink, Emperor Yu Heng could not force a sickly person to drink. He drank cup by cup until he was full. Emperor Yu Heng smacked his lips and said,
“My dear, in your opinion, who is suitable to be the princess consort?”
Just now, Emperor Yu Heng had stopped and did not say anything, so Xie Xian did not embarrass him.
At this moment, Emperor Yu Heng didn’t hide anything and directly gave Xie Qing his opinion. Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much, but sometimes he felt that his brain was not working as fast as before.
“What do you think, dear minister?”
Xie Xian was silent for a long time. Whoever he said it was going against the Crown Prince and offending others. Fortunately, he was not afraid of offending people.
“Since the emperor thinks highly of Tingwei Xi, why don’t you marry him to show your friendship?”
Speaking of Chief Xi, Emperor Yuheng was filled with anger. He wanted Little Six to become Chief Xi’s disciple to help Little Six, but what was that old man telling Little Six every day?
Brothers were respectful, and the country was orthodox. They kept saying that they were protecting the interests of the Crown Prince.
This was like finding a living ancestor who was scolded every day.
“I may not be willing to look at Xi Tingwei. He…On the Crown Prince’s side.” Emperor Yu Heng was mentally unbalanced. Those who didn’t know better would think that the Crown Prince wasn’t his biological son but his enemy.
“The Crown Prince is indeed the rightful ruler of the country.”
” You, my beloved minister…” Wasn’t he the one who reminded him that the crown prince had grown after three years of mourning for Imperial Concubine Liu?
Could it be that it was to cater to the aristocratic families ‘strong opposition to him letting the Xin’ an King observe filial piety? It was not in line with etiquette and law, and it was undignified?
What was Xie Xian trying to do? He was the one who was human, and he was the one who was a ghost?!
Moreover, he was unwilling to marry Xiao Liu! Don’t think that he couldn’t tell!
“Emperor, please calm down.” Xie Xian smiled lightly, but he wasn’t afraid of Emperor Yu Heng’s anger. The Emperor was like a firecracker, but it exploded and extinguished quickly.
“What Chief Justice Xi said is not wrong. Brothers should respect each other. Is he going to teach the sixth king to be disrespectful to his elders?”
“It’s just that we’re from different standpoints.”
Emperor Epsilon was enlightened. That’s right, Chief Justice Xi had only become a monk and taught Little Six for two and a half days. How could he be willing to serve Little Six for such a small friendship?
However, once the marriage was established, Little Six would become Tingwei Xi’s grandson-in-law, and he would be planning for Little Six with all his heart.
After all, if it was successful, the Xi family would be the mother of the country, and the Xi family would become the royal family. With the protection of the emperor, wouldn’t the top aristocratic families be able to control them?
Xi Ting Wei had a high position and authority, and the Xi Family had many talented disciples.. They had a lot of power in their hands, and they were much more helpful than the Xie Family relying on Xie Xian alone!
