Chapter 475: Everything Goes Uphill

Can't imagine?

Xie Jin raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him lightly: "Do you think I am arrogant enough to ignore the rules?"

"Isn't it?" Xuanyuan Yao looked at him, "To be honest, I couldn't help but wonder at the beginning, how could you be willing to obey the Lord? If the Lord hadn't taken you in, I don't think you could even be the emperor. They won’t take it seriously.”

When Xie Jin heard this, his charming red phoenix eyes couldn't help but tilt up slightly: "The one who knows me is Yaoyao."

Xuanyuan Yao felt a chill. He originally wanted him to be more serious, but he couldn't help but give up when he thought that this man had never been a gentleman.

But right now he is more concerned about another issue.

"What do you think of what Prince Zhanruo of Yu Kingdom said before?"

"I don't think much of it." Xie Jin said in a calm tone, obviously not taking it seriously, "There's nothing wrong with being alone. I don't insist on having a family full of descendants."

Xuanyuan Yao frowned slightly: "Do you believe what he said?"

"I don't believe what he said, but I believe that I am indeed that destiny." Xie Jin smiled casually, "I was killed by an expert when I was a child, and the comments were consistent with what Zhan Ruo said, but at that time my father didn't Believe it or not, beat him out."

Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "Then what should you do?"

"What should I do?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "If you have no heirs, you will have no heirs. What else can you do?"

Xuanyuan Yao looked at him silently, feeling that he was really different from a normal person.

"I can be open-minded," Xie Jin said calmly, "For people like me, it may not be a blessing to have many descendants."

Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "Why do you say that?"

"You wonder why a person like me is willing to obey the Lord. In fact, sometimes even I find it incredible." Xie Jin leaned on his chair and turned to look out the window, "My father has an unruly temper, and I also have the same temper. , The Xie family has such a tradition, if I really have a son in the future, there is a high probability that he will still have this temperament. "

Xuanyuan Yao said: "Isn't such a bad temper?"

"What do you think?" Xie Jin turned to look at him, "If you were a king, could you endure your ministers being so rebellious?"

"But I see that you are very respectful to the Lord." Xuanyuan Yao's expression was subtle, "If you dare to be unruly in front of the Lord, I will break your legs."

Xie Jin was silent after hearing this and looked at him silently for a moment: "Yao Yao is so cute when he talks."

Xuanyuan Yao frowned and glared at him.

"Didn't you just say that if the Lord hadn't taken in this evildoer like me, I might not even pay attention to the Emperor." Xie Jin smiled lightly, "Although it is an exaggeration, it does make some sense. Like me With such a temper, if the current Holy Lord is a mediocre person, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get me to obey him."

Although Xuanyuan Yao is a military commander, he is usually straight-minded and not very good at detours, unlike Xie Jin, who has a delicate heart and a sweet heart. However, he is not so stupid that he cannot understand the words.

Besides, Xie Jin's words were straightforward enough.

So he understood why Xie Jin said that having descendants may not necessarily be a blessing.

The king is wise and strong, so he can naturally tolerate and even appreciate his capable and tempered ministers. Because he has the ability to control and control, he is not afraid of his ministers doing anything outrageous, and because his mind is broad enough, as long as he is talented, capable, and loyal, then the king Nature can be tolerant.

But this situation does not apply to all kings.

It can even be said that since ancient times, there have been few kings as strong as his family master who can subdue people like Xie Jin. Most emperors are already praised by others as long as they are good at the emperor's mind and know how to balance the power of the ministers of the family. It relies more on nepotism in the harem to balance interests, so that the major families have to surrender - because the interests are tied to the king.

This is also one of the benefits of the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards.

There are actually very few people who can truly put aside interests and make powerful ministers willing to loyal to them.

Not to mention people like Xie Jin, why not Xuanyuan Yao?

The more proud a man is, the more willing he is to obey the drive of the true king, rather than grovel to a simple relationship between king and minister.

Therefore, it is well known to everyone in the imperial capital that Xie Jiuye is willing to obey the regent. He is obeying his own heart and not because of the inferiority of the monarch and his ministers.

But such a relationship is rare.

No one can guarantee that the next king will still be as powerful and admirable as Rong Yu. Similarly, no one can guarantee that the next generation of Xie family men will be willing to loyally submit to the new emperor.

The most important thing is that with Xie Jin's current position in front of the regent, it is not a problem to aspire to the position of the most powerful minister in the future. The Xie family, one of the four prominent families, can reach an unprecedented peak during the reign of the empress.

However, what goes up must come down.

Whether it is the king's intolerance or his ministers' disrespect, it means great risks for a prosperous family - but such risks are often ignored.

Interest can blind people's eyes.

Since ancient times, how many people have ignored risks in pursuit of ultimate power and interests, and how many aristocratic families that have been favored for centuries have collapsed in an instant.

When a family becomes extremely powerful, it is a threat to the imperial power.

The emperor obviously couldn't tolerate it.

Xuanyuan Yao understood the implication of Xie Jin's words, and also understood that Xie Jin's pride did not allow him to be timid because of such risk scruples. He wanted to be wanton and indulgent, even if he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he had to be vigorous.

Therefore, having no heirs means that he can do what he wants unscrupulously - at least when Rong Yu and Nan Xi are in power, they can tolerate all his arbitrary actions.

Xuanyuan Yao thought deeply for a long time before saying calmly: "The master is different from the previous kings. He and the Queen are in love, so they should not have too many children. The successor to the throne is more about quality than quantity. Moreover, the little prince was appointed as the crown prince at birth, and he will be trained as an emperor in the future. The next generation of emperors taught by the master should not be much worse than the master."

Xie Jin took a sip of wine and said in a faint voice: "The master can manage this generation, but not the generations to come."

Xuanyuan Yao was speechless for a moment.

That's true.

The situation is quite special for the empress in this generation. With the regent's feelings for the empress, it is impossible for Nan Xi to have too many children, so he can teach his son personally, but the next generation of emperors will resume the male emperor's rule, and by then there will be many children in the three palaces and six courtyards.

No emperor can guarantee that his descendants will be wise rulers.

With the current prominence of the Xie family, if they encounter an emperor who is not so wise, the outcome is actually predictable, unless they can retreat bravely and protect themselves.

"Did my words scare you?" Xie Jin put down the wine cup, held up his chin and looked at him with a playful look in his eyes, "It's not that serious, it's just because this is my fate, so I'm just making fun of myself."
