The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 556 Wisdom
Mrs. Xie replied: "Loyalty is naturally to be shown, but it is not as simple as talking about it."

"You have to tell Your Majesty that Prince Yong's Mansion will abolish the guards, increase the tribute to the court, and send the descendants of the Prince's Mansion to study in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan shook his head and said, "This is too harsh."

"Our Prince's Mansion only has [-] guards, so where is there room for disbandment?"

Mrs. Xie said: "According to the rules, the prince's guards are no more than [-]. At the beginning, the late emperor cared about his grandmother's kindness, and made an exception to seal us [-] more."

"Now that His Majesty is in power, it is inappropriate for us to make such a special case."

"What you said is indeed reasonable." After speaking, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but sighed slightly, and said: "We have [-] troops in our hands. If something happens, we still have some strength to resist. If it’s less, it’s really powerless.”

Xie rolled her eyes at her husband, and said helplessly, "Don't talk about 5 horses, but give you another [-]. If the imperial court really wants to withdraw the domain, can you still resist?"

Don't say give another 50, even give another [-]. If Li Ling wants to punish him, it will be easy.

Today's emperor is the God of War in the past, not to mention a mere feudal lord, even a big country like the Gaoshan Kingdom and the Xiongnu cavalry are all defeated by him, what qualifications does Zhao Xuan have to fight against him.

Although not reconciled, but also had to recognize the reality.

Zhao Xuan sighed for a long time, and replied, "That's the reason."

Xie said: "If we propose to keep [-] guards like the other princes, it is still not enough. If you want to report to Your Majesty, you can only leave [-]."

Mrs. Xie saw that Zhao Xuan was distressed again, and persuaded: "Your Majesty has not freed up his hands to attack the vassal king. Let us first show enough sincerity. One can show loyalty, and the other is also for other vassal kings." To set an example, if the other vassals are knowledgeable about current affairs and follow suit, wouldn't it be possible for His Majesty to weaken the power of the vassals without any effort? This great achievement, His Majesty should be remembered by Prince Yong's residence. "

"So, our sincerity must be expressed in place, and, as soon as possible."

Although Zhao Xuan is not a shrewd and capable master, but he is a grandson of the royal family, and he cannot be a person without political awareness. He knows that his wife is right, but he is still a little unwilling.

Revocation of the army is tantamount to lowering one's self-worth. Oh, it hurts to think about it.

Zhao Xuan frowned into a big pimple. He looked at his wife and said, "I think just removing the guards is enough to show our loyalty. Do you really want to send the child to the palace as a proton?"

"I don't think it's necessary, is it?"

Although there are many descendants in Prince Yong's Mansion, Zhao Xuan, as the eldest son of Prince Yong's Mansion, would naturally choose his child if he sent a hostage to the palace.

He now has four sons, and two unborn children, one in Xie's womb and one in Meng's womb.

Although these two don't know the gender yet, he can be regarded as a son, and he just wants to send it out. Although he also knows that even entering the palace will be a life of luxury, but he is still reluctant to part with it.

Furthermore, the wife may not be willing to have her own son sent away, if she is after the child in Meng's womb, how can Meng's spare him.

Just thinking about it gave Zhao Xuan a headache.

Mrs. Xie doesn't have such thoughts as Zhao Xuan. She is now considering the overall situation of the future of Prince Yong's Mansion. As for the child in Meng's womb, it would be best if she could replace her own son, but she doesn't know that right now. Whether Meng's child is a boy or a girl, so Xie's idea is not aimed at Meng's.

Seeing that her husband was reluctant to part with the child, Mrs. Xie sighed and said, "Do you think I am willing? Aren't we doing this for the long-term plan of the palace? In the past dynasties, there were few cases where the vassal king was eradicated by the emperor's family? Your majesty is iron-blooded." Emperor, who knows if he will use iron and blood to deal with us vassals."

"Rather than destroying the whole family at that time, it's better to give up the little one and protect the big one."

Zhao Xuan took a breath when he heard this, and replied: "Your Majesty is indeed strong today, but our Prince Yong's Mansion has always been honest and responsible, and we have never acted presumptuously. If Your Majesty really wants to withdraw the domain, he can't be harsh on us. hand?"

Mrs. Xie said with a smile: "As the saying goes, there is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. Our Prince Yong's Mansion is the most powerful among the vassal princes. If your Majesty wants to operate, who do you think is the most suitable contract?"

Zhao Xuan sighed for a long time, and said: "You are right." But when he thought about sending the child as a hostage, he still couldn't bear it, so he muttered to himself, "If I take the lead in demanding to weaken the guards, Your Majesty thinks of my contribution, maybe he can forgive me and won't let us send protons into the palace again?"

He began to lose his mind, so he looked at his wife and asked, "What do you think?"

Naturally, Mrs. Xie was more reluctant to send the child as a proton than her husband. She thought about it for a while and replied: "I can't guess what your majesty means, it depends on fate."

"This is a big deal. After the two of us have made an agreement, you should write a letter to the royal father, and then hear what the royal father and concubine mother mean."

Zhao Xuandao: "Well, I will write to my father tomorrow."

After the husband and wife discussed it properly, it was already midnight, Xie stretched his waist, got into bed, and said: "Go to sleep, I'm sleepy too."

Zhao Xuan also lay down, tossing and turning, still thinking about what he just discussed with his wife.

As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, now that the emperor has changed, it is not the time for their Prince Yong's mansion to be prominent.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart, but he turned to think about the precedents of the princes who had been ransacked and exiled, and he couldn't help but rejoice.

Fortunately, his wife was keen, and they were able to put up a good posture before the emperor made a move, so that they would not be too passive. Although the value of Prince Yong's mansion has dropped, at least they can keep the foundation and the prosperity and wealth of the whole family.

D!
Forget it, just be content and happy.

Zhao Xuan finally stopped worrying about gains and losses. He turned around and looked at the peaceful sleeping face of his wife next to the pillow. He couldn't help but move in his heart, so he leaned over and kissed her lightly. Xie Shi, who was sleeping, subconsciously touched her. cheek, then turned around and continued to sleep peacefully.

Zhao Xuan smiled, and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep when he suddenly remembered that he promised Meng Shi to talk to his wife today.

As soon as he entered the door, his wife discussed with him such an important matter that is related to the prosperity and decline of the whole family, but he completely forgot about the promise he had made to love his concubine.

I don't know how to report to my concubine tomorrow.

After Zhao Xuan had finally calmed down, he couldn't help becoming irritable again.

Xie, who was sleeping, turned over, half of her jade arm was loosely wrapped around Zhao Xuan's waist, Zhao Xuan carefully put his wife's arm back under the quilt, and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for his wife.

When he lay down again, sleepiness swept over him.

There is no big deal in the back house. As for the things that I agreed to my concubine today, compared to the way out of the palace, it is just sesame and mung beans, so it is not worth taking it to heart.

Forget it, don't think about it, go to sleep.
