In Weixinhou Mansion, although Zhao Yue was holding a book in his hand, his dazed expression clearly showed that he didn't put his mind on the book.

During the banquet that day, Zhao Yue asked Xie Rongzhao in private, asking her what she wanted, but Xie Rongzhao shook his head and said no need, and later he asked Xie Xiuwen, Xie Xiuwen also declined him.

After all, the teacup that Xie Rongzhao threw casually that day still saved him, but the other party didn't want anything for such a great kindness, and he repeatedly said that accompanying them all the way to Beijing was already taking care of them.

In this way, Zhao Yue found it difficult.

He is a general, and he never likes to be procrastinated, and he doesn't like to owe favors.

But now, if you give money, it seems too vulgar. If you don't give it, why don't you just give it to the shop or the house?
Even if he really gave it away, Xie Xiuwen would not dare to accept it.

Originally, his people had just found out that Xie Xiuwen was going to buy a field, but when he was about to give away one of the Zhuangzi under his own name, they had already bought one. Although it was not big, it was better than nothing. , and it was bought by others with their own money, so the meaning must be different.

Zhao Yue's mother had mixed feelings about Xie Xiuwen's family.

Zhao's mother felt that Xie Xiuwen didn't mention it now, because she wanted to get greater benefits in the future, for example: will try.

Zhao Yue just laughed it off.

Xie Xiuwen is a member of a family, so he went to the capital to take part in the examination, not to mention winning the first place, it should be no problem to be in the second place.

Therefore, he didn't think that Xie Xiuwen would ask him for help because of the test.

At most, it's just a little bit of the prestige of the Marquis Mansion, so that some people with evil intentions can be more honest.

After all, Zhao Yue still didn't know how to answer Xie Jia.

Zhao Yue's wife asked one more question: "Since the surname is Xie, I wonder if it is of the same family as the Xie family on Anhe Street?"

Zhao Yue shook his head: "No. Even if they were in the same clan hundreds of years ago, they are far away now. This is the first time Xie Xiuwen has come to Beijing, and it has nothing to do with Anhe Street."

Xie Xiuwen has been in the capital for so many days, if there is really a family relationship, can there be no movement from the Xie family on Anhe Street?
The wife of the son, Mrs. An, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words: "My son, the situation in the capital is getting more and more serious. The Xie family has been different in the past few years. I tried to persuade the emperor to give Xie Huaiyi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, an order to seize love, but the emperor never agreed. Now Xie’s family has just returned to Beijing. I heard that Xie Huaiyi’s official position has not yet been settled. Summon him."

Zhao Yue took a sip of tea and answered absently.

His wife, An's family, was well-known, so she naturally grasped some news about the capital relatively quickly.

"In your opinion, will the emperor let Xie Huaiyi recover?"

An Shi shook her head, "Next year will be Chunwei. I heard that besides the two candidates who had passed the provincial examination, the Xie family also had three supervisors who passed the exam together. There are five candidates in total. On the other hand, it’s not always good not to keep any of them.”

Zhao Yue nodded, knowing that his wife was right.

The old master of the Xie family is gone, and now Xie Huaiyi is in charge of the family.

And Xie Huaiyi is now in his fifties, if he enters the court again, it is obviously inappropriate for Xie's grandchildren to be officials in the same court in the future.

Either Xie Huaiyi gave way so that future generations could have a good future;

No matter how you choose, it will make Xie Huaiyi difficult.

"Right now, the Xie family is probably thinking of restoring their former glory first, and then slowly plan it. For example, in the coming year, Xie's family has a Jinshi who enters the court. After training for three to five years, Xie Huaiyi will ask himself to retire and return to his hometown. In this way, he will support Let the glory of the Xie family not fall if we help the younger generation."

Zhao Yue sneered: "He has a good plan, but the Holy One may not be happy."

Anshi thought so too.

Today's Holy Majesty is not a mediocre person, Xie's involvement in the matter of the harem earlier has already angered His Majesty.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the old man had disappeared later, it is estimated that the Holy Majesty would have demoted Xie Huaiyi in court.

It has to be said that this old man of the Xie family is capable, even if he dies, he will choose his time.

"The Xie family has angered the Holy Majesty not once or twice. Instead of feeling that they have crossed the line, they feel that they should stay at the pinnacle of power, and they want to stabilize the situation. I think they are crazy about power. Already!"

Anshi deeply agrees.

The Xie family is also a well-known and prosperous family, so it should not be understood that there are some twists and turns in it, but there is a Xie Huaiyi who is greedy for power, but it makes the status of the Xie family not up or down, which is quite embarrassing.

"The Holy One is kind, even if Xie Huaiyi will not be appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he will always be given another chance."

Zhao Yue tapped his fingers lightly, his eyes were sharp: "You mean, the emperor will be flat?"

"The Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy are places where some old scholars like to stay. They have status and status, but they don't have any real power. This is not an insult to Xie Huaiyi."

Zhao Yue was delighted to hear that.

Xie Huaiyi did not take the orthodox imperial examination back then, but Meng Zuyin obtained a quota for supervisors, and later participated in the general examination and palace examination, but his talents were not obvious. The emperor still looked at the old lady of the Xie family and gave him a place. A second-class Jinshi was born, but he did not enter the Hanlin Academy.

Since then, it is an unwritten rule in the officialdom, if you don't enter the Imperial Academy, you will miss the cabinet.

At the beginning, Xie Huaiyi barely made a contribution by betraying his fellow clan, and the emperor promoted him to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but at that time several cabinet ministers were there, so Xie Huaiyi always wanted to squeeze one in so that he could be sent in.

In the end, I didn't want to, the extreme joy gave birth to sadness, and something happened within a few days of being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

If at this time, the emperor brought people into the Hanlin Academy, that would be the biggest irony to Xie Huaiyi.

"During the time I was not in the capital, how did you move around with the outside?"

"I attended a few banquets, and there were a few wedding banquets for marriage. Speaking of which, I remembered something, and my husband might be interested."

Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows: "Let's hear it!"

An Shi pursed her lips and smiled: "I attended a wedding banquet a while ago, and happened to be sitting at the same table with a wife of the Xie family. I heard that the Xie family intends to be drafted next year."

Zhao Yue's eyes were wide open, the news was too shocking.

"Xie's family is crazy?"

The Xie family's rule for hundreds of years is not to send women into the palace, and because of this, the emperor has always treated the Xie family well. After all, they are not relatives, and they are a family, so they are both respectable.

However, Xie Huaiyi, the patriarch of this term, actually moved the idea of ​​sending a woman into the palace.

Is this trying to compete for the next generation of the royal family?
