Chapter 354: Position and Benefits

"Are you poor enough?" Rong Yu raised his head, his voice was indifferent and dignified, "Let's get down to business."

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao fell silent at the same time.

Chu Nanyi, who kept his composure, raised the corner of his mouth, and glanced teasingly at the two people who were frightened for a moment, and said calmly: "I see that Mr. Xie Jiu and Prince Yao seem to be very close to each other. Master, do you want to match them up? Let's just match them up. ”

"Mate with him? Can he have children?" Xuanyuan Yao sneered coldly, "My father is just a son like me. He will carry on the family line in the future. How many children can he give me? He can be a bed warmer. "Although I don't have any hobby in this area, considering Ah Jin's good looks, I can reluctantly accept it."

Bed warmer?

Xie Jindanfeng's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his lips looked chilling to the bones: "I just said that Yaoyao is cute. The more I say it, the cuter it becomes. Believe it or not, I will wash you off and throw you on the bed tonight." ?”

Xuanyuan Yao put a provocative smile on his lips and was about to speak when he saw Rong Yu raising his head expressionlessly, her cold eyes falling on his face, like an invisible coercion that shrouded him, making his heart tremble. The smile just froze at the corner of his mouth.

All the words he wanted to say were naturally choked back.

Rong Yu turned his eyes slightly and looked at Xie Jin indifferently: "How about I give you another half hour to make you poor enough?"

Xie Jin sat up straighter and shook his head obediently: "No need."

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

Nan Xi, who was sitting on the couch, held a cup of fragrant tea in her hand and looked out the window at the blooming flowers. Her expression was leisurely and calm, and there was a soft luster between her eyebrows. She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart at this time.

Chu Nanyi, the culprit who started the conversation, obviously felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but touch his nose and took the initiative to break the silence: "Currently, the movements of all major aristocratic families are basically under control. Prince Qi and my little sister The wedding is scheduled for the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. They will hold the wedding after His Highness ascends the throne. It is now settled. "

"The two young masters that the master wanted to serve as attendants are safe. Mr. Chen is currently living in Xie's Mansion. He has some serious injuries. Xie Jin plans to ask the imperial doctor to treat him. He will also wait until the enthronement ceremony before entering the palace. Then he can Just follow the master and serve as a student in the imperial study."

At this point, Chu Nanyi added: "The King of Wei and his wife and Xuanyuan Yan are very dissatisfied with this matter."

Rong Yu said nothing.

He doesn't care about the attitude of King Wei. Xuanyuan Yan will never have the opportunity to enter the court in the future. The situation in the Palace of Wei is over, unless they have the ability to turn the tide - but obviously, if they really can turn the tide, they won't let the high priest take him back to the south. Xi, he ended up in a situation where he lost his reserve position.

Rong Yu raised his hand and took off the lid of the gilt incense burner on the desk, and slowly threw the information he had read into it one by one to burn it. The flames lit by the rice paper illuminated his noble and indifferent face, making him look even more noble and distant. Deep and unfathomable.

"Prince Jing's Mansion doesn't need to worry about it anymore, and Prince Wei's Mansion doesn't need to worry about it anymore. King Huainan has nothing to say." Chu Nanyi's eyes fell on the swaying flames, and his voice was steady, "The Su family is from the Wei Prince's Mansion. At present, Still standing on Xuanyuan Yan's boat, Su Ce holds the power of the household department and has a lot of bad debts that cannot be sorted out. After His Highness ascends the throne, he can be the first to take advantage of him. "

"The Su family has gained quite a lot of power over the years, so we definitely need to start teasing, but we don't have to be too anxious." Xie Jin stood up and walked to the case, taking a file from the desk, "Here are the things I wrote down. For the list, we can first replace the powerful courtiers who belong to the Su family and Xuanyuan Yan one by one, trim Su Ce's wings, and finally liquidate the Su family. "

Xuanyuan Yao sat in a chair and drank tea.

He is only responsible for guarding the border. The intrigues in the court have nothing to do with him, and he is not good at it, so he is only responsible for listening to whoever Xie Jin and Chu Nanyi deal with.

"Only one of the four major families, the Mo family, has an unclear position." Xie Jin's voice was light, "But Mo Xuanwu and Chu Hongyi are enemies, so it would be difficult for him to serve as a general in the same dynasty as Chu Hongyi without any grudges. If one of them can't do it well, Maybe he will choose to stand on the same side as the Su family. "

"Are the Mo family's young master and Hong Yi enemies?" Nan Xi seemed to be a little interested and curious when she heard this sentence, "How could they become enemies?"

Chu Nanyi turned to look at her and took the initiative to explain with a gentle voice: "Hong Yi, the title of the general who governs the country, was originally supposed to belong to Mo Xuanwu, but after Prince Qi came back from Zhou Dynasty at the end of last year, he made some suggestions in front of the emperor. Basically, if we really want to bring your Highness back, it would be better to have a female general at the top, which will make things easier."

"The emperor thought this was reasonable, so he agreed to Qi Shizi's proposal and announced the matter in court the next day. Naturally, the Mohist family was dissatisfied and protested in court. Many ministers who supported the Mohist family also felt that Hongyi was just a fifteen-year-old girl. , cannot be compared with Mo Xuanwu at all.”

"In the end, in order to convince all the ministers, the emperor arranged three competitions between Hong Yi and Mo Xuanwu. A single martial arts competition, a riding and shooting competition on the school field, and a battle between two armies in the military camp to compare formations and strategies. Mo Xuanwu was successful in all three competitions. He was slightly inferior to Hongyi, suffered a loss of face, and lost his title of general, and the two had a bad relationship from then on. "

Chu Yinjie was originally a cabinet minister, an out-and-out civil servant, while the Mo family was a real family of military commanders. Although the two families were not on the same side, they had a relationship where they would nod when they met up and down, but Chu Yinjie After the Hongyi incident happened, the Mo family and the Chu family directly became sworn enemies.

Nan Xi did not expect that such a thing would happen to Chu Hongyi. After a moment of silence, he said, "The title of general of the state is naturally awarded to those who are capable. Defending the country cannot be neglected. Besides, the imperial decree promoted him. Does it mean that the title of general must belong to the Mohist school to be fair?"

"If everyone can think like your highness, the world will be peaceful. How can there be so many "people die for money, birds die for food"? "Chu Nanyi shook his head. "Don't say that the Mohist school is not satisfied. Even the Xie family and the Chu family, and even the Huainan Palace, are willing to do it because they have enough benefits. We are willing to be loyal to His Highness and the Regent. Without these benefits, what reason do we have to devote ourselves to the king? "

Nan Xi looked at him in surprise, surprised by his straightforwardness and boldness: "You are very courageous."

Chu Nanyi smiled lightly: "I am telling the truth, and I dare not use clever words to deceive His Highness."

Nan Xi raised his eyebrows: "In this case, can you tell me what benefits Rong Yu promised you?"

Chu Nanyi was silent for a moment: "I have obtained the freedom I want to the maximum extent, the power to control wealth, and the fulfillment and faith I feel in the process of following someone I want to follow."
