The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 312 Mind Art
The emperor has always been thoughtful and rarely talks too much with others.

Therefore, apart from Xie Xi, the other princes and princesses respected the father.

It is rare for the emperor to show a kind side, Xie Yao is about to talk about the relationship between father and son with the emperor.

Unexpectedly, after the emperor opened his head, it was like opening a chatterbox. Before Xie Yao could speak, the words taught by the following came out all at once.

"The current situation in Dayan is complicated. You have just ascended the throne, and your foundation is not stable. Fortunately, you have a few brothers. Although they may not be able to help you turn the tide, they can always help you share some chores."

"The common people often say that if brothers are of one heart, their profits can cut through gold. This is especially true for our royal family. As long as you brothers are in harmony, there will be no problems that cannot be solved."

Xie Yao has heard about this attitude of the emperor several times.

Hearing the emperor's old story brought up again, the touch in Xie Yao's heart dissipated immediately.

Xie Yao was quite helpless in his heart. His ancestors had a legacy long ago, and the clan's clan was strictly prohibited from participating in the government.

The most important thing is that he didn't like any of his younger brothers.

The third brother Xie Hui is insidious and cunning, the fourth brother Xie Xi is bohemian, the sixth brother Xie Yun is critical, and the eighth brother Xie Xie is too young to commit to important matters.

What's more, at present, he has finally obtained the position of crown prince, and there are still many coveted people behind him, so how can he hand over the power to others?

"Father, Emperor Taizong Wu had a strict order back then, that vassal kings with the same surname are not allowed to participate in political affairs, son... son..."

The emperor was still amiable at first, but when he heard Xie Yao's words, he immediately interrupted: "At this time, at that time, Emperor Taizong Wu was very talented and generous, and he couldn't bear to see the children of the clan chasing fame and wealth, so he made a decree to let the descendants enjoy wealth and honor in peace. .But what about now? Every one of them is extravagant, bullying others, exploiting the common people by virtue of their clan status. Today, the rich have endless fields, and the poor have no place to stand. If things go on like this, how can I survive?"

Xie Yao knew that what his father said was true, but he felt a little disapproving.

It is not a day or two for the clan's children to be pampered and respected. They are as wise as Ruizong. When the country is in peril, not only did they not reduce the clan's expenses, but they offered more favorable treatment.

Such a move did not prevent Ruizong from becoming a British lord in the slightest. Everyone from the clan's meritorious service to the common people praised Ruizong full of praise.

It can be seen that the rise and fall of a country has nothing to do with the clan.

Although Xie Yao thought so, he didn't dare to say that in front of his father.

He considered for a moment, and said: "Father, don't worry too much, the family's long-standing problems have existed for a long time, and it won't be solved in a short while."

As dusk gradually fell, a gibbous moon rose in the sky early, leaving a faint shadow on the blue sky.

The father and son walked forward slowly while talking.

After walking for several tens of feet, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Yao'er, since we have to solve it sooner or later, let's start with me, with my sons. After you get married, I will send the little four out first. , Let him gain a firm foothold in the southwest first. Then when you are in control of Chao Gang, it will also be a strength for you."

Xie Yao felt something was wrong in his heart, but the emperor said it out, and it was not easy to refute it face to face.

Xie Yao muttered, "Father, my son has something to say, should I say it or not?"

"I heard that the fourth brother has always had a good relationship with the Prince of Dian. I'm afraid...the Dian Palace has always been a serious problem for the court. The fourth brother has gone to the southwest. If he joins forces with the Yang family, the situation in the southwest will be beyond control."

The emperor listened very seriously, and after listening to Xie Yao's words, he gave Xie Yao a meaningful look, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Yao'er, do you really think so?"

Xie Yao didn't know what his father meant, so he hurriedly bowed and knelt down, and said repeatedly: "My son thinks so, it's like losing an elder brother, please punish me!"

The emperor didn't mean to blame at all, and said with a smile on his face: "Yao'er, if you can think this way, it seems that you have grown a lot. Xiaosi'er went to Dunzhou to operate, and I just want to let the Manchao know that he and The relationship between the Yang family, so that people with ulterior motives can be restrained. As for what you are worried about, I have thought about it a long time ago. The little girl of the Lin family has been staying in the capital since she was still young. .”

Xie Yao froze and couldn't help being stunned.

In Xie Yao's memory, the emperor had never met Xie Xi since he was a child.

Everyone in the court knew that Xie Xi was an insignificant prince, not worth mentioning at all.

Since the emperor fell ill, Chaoli suddenly changed his tune.

The whole court said that the emperor favored the fourth prince, not only entrusted Xie Xi with such an important position as the commander of the imperial army, but also provided Xie Xi with convenience everywhere.

Several people reminded Xie Yao in front of him, telling him to be wary of Xie Xi, in case Xie Xi got too many benefits.

Until just now, Xie Yao was still guessing in his heart about the emperor's attitude towards Xie Xi, why there was such an earth-shaking change.

Unexpectedly, the emperor has such an imperial mind.

In order to calm down the situation in the southwest, the emperor sent Xie Xi to Dunzhou on the surface, and also intended to bring Xie Xi and Dian Palace closer.

Secretly keeping Lin Zisu in the capital as a hostage made Xie Xi have serious scruples.

No wonder the emperor mentioned Xie Xi two days ago without the slightest worry. It turned out that he had such a plan.

Xie Yao had mixed feelings in his heart, he was both fortunate and inexplicably uncomfortable.

They are also princes, if the emperor can guard against Xie Xi like this, how can he know if he is also guarding against him?
But it is a good thing for Xie Xi to have no worries about the future. Xie Yao remembered another worry of his own and asked, "The fourth brother has always acted out of control. What if we go to Dunzhou and can't control the southwest?"

The emperor patted Xie Yao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Xiao Si'er is a child who can do things, and the situation in the southwest is not that complicated, enough for him to take care of. But he is a bold person, and he has done ridiculous things. Younger, I think he cares a lot about that girl from the Lin family, and with that girl in the capital, I think your fourth brother will act more prudently."

Xie Yao nodded in agreement, only to hear the emperor continue to say: "It's just a few years, when the court situation stabilizes in the future, you can call him back and let him share some of the burden for you."

While the father and son were talking, the sky had completely darkened.

In the dark of night, in the empty Shanglin Garden, the wind blows through the trees, and the rustling sound of dead leaves is heard in the ears, full of bleakness.

A eunuch walked over from a distance, reminding the emperor of the time.

The emperor waved his hand casually, and said to Xie Yao: "Little Si'er took a group of people to go out in autumn today, and I think he has already returned home now. Let's go to the front and wait for him, and listen to how he shows off to me. "

Xie Yao didn't understand why the emperor paid so much attention to Xie Xi's Taqiu.

Seeing Xie Yao's questioning face, the emperor said lightly: "I asked Xiao Sier to find out Yang Xingyao's tone. I don't know how many things he asked."
