Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1156
Chapter 1156 Contradictions between Li Xin and his wife
After leaving to change the dynasty, the superiors will seal the entire clan, not only their immediate relatives, as long as they can be called by name, they will follow the chicken and the dog to the sky.
The reason for doing this is that, firstly, it is to finally stand out from the crowd. Naturally, it is necessary to publicize it well and pretend to be a big pusher in front of relatives and friends. The more important reason is that once the dynasty changes, there must be a group that wholeheartedly supports the new dynasty.
This new group is naturally the new royal family.
Back then, that woman hated her own elder brother so much, and she had to reuse her own family’s sons and nephews with the surname Wu. This is the reason.
As Xiao Zhiping said, although the Southwest Group is all Li Xin’s subordinates, they do not share the same surname as Li Xin after all, and most of them have no blood relationship with Li Xin. If the new dynasty wants to take shape, it must have a group with the same surname as the new dynasty. The core interest group that coexists with life and death.
I have to say that this small family nestled in Qiyang County is very careful about everything, but it is very accurate in this matter.
If Li Xin is not ready for this, then he may really want to reuse these people from his mother clan as a force to consolidate the court in the future.
Governor Li sat on the throne and looked at Xiao Zhiping with a half-smiling smile.
“When I returned to Yongzhou more than ten years ago, I made it clear to you that after that day, my mother and I have nothing to do with the Xiao family. For your family’s sake of raising my mother, I have not moved. Your family has a penny, and these years have even tacitly allowed you to use my reputation to make a fortune in Qiyang.”
Having said this, Li Xin paused and said slowly: “I wanted to scold you a few words, but it’s really not worth getting angry with you, where are you going back and forth, I don’t need to use your own family by my side, Besides…I don’t have the same surname as you.”
Xiao Zhiping swallowed nervously, and kowtowed to Li Xin: “Master Hou, Xiaomin dare not expect to be an official in the imperial court, but this child is really interested in learning, and I ask Master Hou to watch… the old lady’s For the sake of face, take this child in…”
“This child’s father is… the old lady’s favorite nephew back then.”
Li Xin’s mother, Xiao Qinglan, is Xiao Zhiping’s younger sister, but in order not to provoke Li Xin, Xiao Zhiping can only call his sister “Old Madam”.
Li Xin put down the document in his hand, got up and glanced at the “Xiao” child, expressionless.
After a long time, he looked at Xiao Zhiping, his voice a little hoarse.
“You people, all you want to do is to climb up, but you don’t know that standing at a high place is not only beneficial, but the higher you stand, the more dangerous it is.”
“Indeed, I’ll give you a light hand now. Not only this child, everyone from your Xiao family can come to the capital, but it’s easy to get to the capital, but it’s not easy to survive in the capital.”
“If you are in Qiyang or even in Yongzhou, even if you suffer one day, at most you will be bankrupt. If you fall down in the capital, maybe it will be the end of the three tribes of Yi.”
With Li Xin’s current ability, don’t say who will reach out and pull a hand, as long as he is light and fluttering, a person or even a family can rise to the top, but as Li Xin said, a high position is not necessarily a blessing, you are not capable enough to sit on it. This position, being “supported by the seedlings”, may bring disaster to one’s own family.
Xiao Zhiping’s wishes are very simple. Their Xiao family wants to leave a child in the capital. This child is best to grow up in Li Xin’s Jing’an Hou residence, so that no matter what, this child will be able to seek help in the capital in the future. With a half-official position, the Xiao family can also rely on this child to slowly escape from Qiyang County to find a place in the capital and become a “big family”.
Xiao Zhiping knelt on the ground with his grandson, kowtow and speechless.
Li Xin silently looked at the grandparents and grandchildren, and then slowly asked, “Let me ask you a question.”
“When my mother died of illness in Qishan Mountain, did you Xiao family members ever feel a little bit of sadness?”
Xiao Zhiping knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
“It was already there.”
He wept and said, “My sister was the one I grew up with, and she was also my father’s favorite child in her early years. If it wasn’t for this, her father wouldn’t be so angry if she made a mistake…”
“My little sister was only thirty-three years old when she left. As an older brother, whenever I think of this, I can’t help but sigh…”
“Okay alright, don’t say it anymore.”
Governor Li looked calm and said lightly: “Although I know you are acting for me, I feel a little more comfortable in my heart. I think my mother would feel a little warmer if she heard these words in the sky.”
“This child can live in my house or study in the capital, but I have one thing for you to do.”
Xiao Zhiping wiped his tears with his sleeves, and kowtowed: “That’s what Lord Hou ordered.”
“My uncle has no children, but he should still have descendants such as grand-nephews. I have been worried about involving outsiders all these years, so I didn’t look for it. Your Xiao family has always lived in Qiyang County. Come back and help me find me. Uncle’s descendant.”
“My uncle’s descendants arrive in the capital, and this child of your Xiao family will be able to live in the capital.”
Li Xin’s uncle, also Xiao Zhiping’s uncle, was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately lowered his head and said, “Don’t worry, Lord Hou, Xiaomin will help Lord Hou find the descendants of his uncle.”
Li Xin was expressionless.
“Don’t think about finding someone to coax me, I will send someone to go back to Qiyang with you.”
“Little people dare not.”
…
Li Xin naturally has his own ideas for leaving the Xiao family. Apart from the Southwest Group, he really needs to find a group of loyal loyalists, so that the Southwest faction will not be dominated by one family, and the group within the group will not be dominated. Power can achieve relative balance.
Secondly, if the world changed surnames, Li Xin’s mother family would indeed give some rewards. Of course, Li Xin chose to reward the descendants of his uncle, not the Xiao family in Qiyang.
After briefly receiving Xiao Zhiping’s grandparents and grandsons, it was almost dark, put down the scroll in his hand, got up from the warm pavilion, and returned to his backyard.
The snow in the backyard was not cleaned up, but the path for walking had been swept away. Li Xin walked to the door of the eldest princess’ yard and knocked on the door.
Originally, he was also the owner of this yard, so there was no need to knock on the door, but the couple had a conflict a few days ago, and the eldest princess is still angry.
Li Xin stood at the gate of the yard and waited for a while, Cui Er, the maid of the eldest princess, sneaked to the gate of the yard, and said softly to Li Xin across the gate of the yard: “Marquis, the princess is still quietly wiping her tears, but it is more than It was better a few days ago, do you want to come back in two days when she has calmed down a bit?”
At this time, it was still quite cold outside the house. Li Xin was now at the door of the yard, and he touched his nose helplessly.
The eldest princess and Li Xin have been married for more than ten years. The husband and wife have never quarreled and got angry, but this time, the ninth princess was really angry to the extreme.
Because… her eldest nephew, His Royal Highness, King Huai, died of a sudden illness for no reason.
This is something that must have happened since Li Xin entered Beijing, but it was delayed from the fifth year of Yuanzhao to the first year of Yankang.
And the death of His Royal Highness King Huai was not under the hands of Li Xin.
After he gave birth to a son, he took medicine and committed suicide.
Of course, before this, there may have been some people’s letters.
Li Xin did not participate in the whole process, but he acquiesced.
“Then I’m going to sleep in the warm pavilion tonight.”
Li Xin sighed helplessly.
“You persuade the princess more for me so that she doesn’t get hurt.”
At this time, Li Xin’s fourth child, his youngest son, was born less than half a year ago.
