Xie Xian had been humiliated by the Crown Prince under the watchful eyes of the public, and the ministers had no reason to say that they had lost face, so they only said that the wicked would be tortured by the wicked.
However, Emperor Yu Heng’s move had really made Xie Xian proud. From the palace, he rode an imperial ox cart through the streets, and those who were interested would have to re-evaluate Xie Xian’s position in the Emperor’s heart.
And his determination to change his position.
“The Book of History is wronged,” the father ordered the little king to look at the Book of History.”
Xie Xian:” It’s nothing. I’m just doing things for the Emperor. It’s not about whether I’m wronged or not.””If the Xin ‘an Prince’s face wasn’t full of smiles and his eight little white teeth weren’t shining brightly, he would more or less take it seriously.
What did he mean by wronged or not? He was the first to fire a shot at the Crown Prince, and the Xin ‘an King was happy to see it.
After all, the Crown Prince was as immovable as a mountain. The Emperor was anxious, and the Xin ‘an King was even more anxious, but the Xin’ an King did not dare to move. He was afraid that if he moved, the Crown Prince would have something on him. Most importantly, he had to be able to move even if he wanted to.
The Crown Prince had been the Crown Prince for several years, and he had the support of the Wang Clan. The Eastern Palace also had various officials who had intertwined interests and were desperately trying to help the Crown Prince ascend.
What did a Xin ‘an King have?
The subordinate officials of the wang fu were different from the crown prince. Their functions were worlds apart.
The Crown Prince was the future emperor, and all the subordinate officials were arranged according to the miniature version of the three provinces and six ministries. Although they were small, they had all the necessary organs. The only person he, King Xin ‘an, could count on was the emperor.
He was a prince under the eyes of the Jiankang Emperor, but he didn’t even have a death warrior. Even if he did, he wouldn’t dare to use it. Once the matter of brothers killing each other surfaced, the Emperor could destroy him first.
Thus, today, Xie Xian had forced the Crown Prince to make a move on the spot. The one who was the proudest was Xin ‘an King.
In the past, he had wholeheartedly wanted to recruit Xie Xian for his own use, and Xie Xian had agreed to it. However, he had always been using an open scheme, squeezing out the Crown Prince’s line and the Wang Family’s power in all aspects of the Imperial Court.
It was obvious that the Wang family was calm. They ran and chased. With the emperor’s help, the Wang family had learned to be obedient. They were like tame rabbits.
What he did was to drag things out.
He had finally disrupted the Crown Prince’s plans. If not for the presence of so many ministers and the Emperor watching helplessly, the Xin ‘an Prince would have laughed out loud.
Actually, this was the most touching part of Xie Xian’s service to him.
Imperial Father valued Xie Xian not just based on his looks. He was talented and had brains. Not only was he proficient in open schemes, but he was also good at scheming.
“Today, 1 have seen the Minister’s schemes. The Minister has not let down Imperial Father. With the help of the minister, I can succeed!”She was so excited that her eyes turned red.
“Sixth King is serious.” Xie Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn’t dare to receive such praise.
“Actually, it was just a coincidence. I didn’t dare to receive such praise from the Sixth King. Recently, the Crown Prince has been keeping a low profile and has not stood out for anything. Even if I wanted to stand up for the Six Great Kings, 1 couldn’t find the right time. This time, it was all thanks to Sun Sheng.”He said,” This person is usually quite cautious in his actions. However, this time, he pocketed the money and passed it off as good quality. 1 think it’s just an hour’s worth of the Imperial Platform. He doesn’t care much about it, so this incident happened.””
“I’m also familiar with the Eastern Palace’s personnel. That’s why I was able to immediately use Sun Sheng’s incident to pull out the Crown Prince who was hiding behind.”
“But it can’t be considered as a contribution.”
Admitting that he had used a scheme to force the idiot Crown Prince to stand up, he would never admit it.
Accompanying the monarch was like accompanying a tiger. The Xin ‘an King seemed to be polite now and wanted to tie him to the same rope. Who knew what kind of virtue he would have when he ascended the throne in the future?
The reason why conspiracies were called conspiracies was because they couldn’t be exposed to the public. If they were to talk about it openly, it would just be a small matter in the future.
Since he was able to pull the Crown Prince down with his schemes, would he pull him down as well one day?
The more King Xin ‘an was grateful to him now, the more he would fear him in the future.
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, Xie Xian would not admit it.
“No matter what, I have to thank the Minister.”Prince Xin ‘an smiled. Ever since the death of Noble Consort Liu, he rarely smiled so sincerely.
To be able to say this to Xie Xian, it was already considered to be quite frank. He was also quite scheming, treating Xie Xian as his trusted aide, not beating around the bush and saying some high-sounding words.
“Imperial Father wants me to appease the Minister. Imperial Father has already reprimanded the Crown Prince for his rudeness and punished him to reflect on his mistakes in the Eastern Palace. However, the more capable one was, the more work he would do. His father wanted the Minister and Minister Xi to investigate Sun Sheng’s matter together.”
It was not to investigate thoroughly, but to let him offend the person to the end, to find out the radish and bring it out of the mud. It would be best to directly pull the Crown Prince out and pull him down. He also wanted to prevent the Xi family from defecting to the Crown Prince’s side at any time. Letting him join was also to supervise the Xi family.
If anyone said that this father and son didn’t look alike, he, Xie Xian, would be the first to disagree.
They were both calculating and shrewd.
“The emperor has given the order, how dare you disobey?”Xie Xian did not refuse.
He had already stabbed the Crown Prince for the first time, so there was no reason for him not to pursue the victory and fall into the well.
He was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was in charge of the appointment and removal of officials. The Emperor’s fall was not entirely on a whim.
“In that case, Minister, you will follow the king?”Xin ‘an King cupped his hands.
Xie Xian smiled slightly and agreed. After returning, he changed into his normal clothes and walked out side by side with Xin ‘an Prince. Suddenly, Xie Xian slowed down his pace.
Xin ‘an King looked over in confusion.
However, Xie Xian said,”The Crown Prince’s concubine’s brother Sun Sheng committed a crime, causing the Emperor’s body to almost be injured. This…” It’s not something to be happy about.”
Xin ‘an King was stunned. He suddenly understood and his face was filled with shame.
Xie Xian’s words were definitely not hypocritical. He was clearly reminding him not to reveal his happiness. It was still fine in front of Xie Xian, but the two of them were like grasshoppers tied on the same rope, and neither of them could escape.
However, if this were to fall into the eyes of outsiders, there would be a lot to say.
“Thank you for your reminder, Minister. I was careless.””
Xie Xian smiled faintly. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was already not simple to be able to achieve what Xin ‘an Prince had done. He couldn’t be compared to him, but the Crown Prince was already seventeen or eighteen years old. He was like a monkey that was on fire all day long. He really didn’t have the willpower of the Xin ‘an King.
As the two of them walked out, they saw a few servants carrying a person in in in a panic.
Looking closely, it was the second master of the Xie family.
“What happened to Second Uncle?” Xie Xian quickly went forward and asked,
Second Master Xie frowned but said,””It’s not a problem. 1 didn’t look after myself when I got out of the car and sprained my ankle. If you have something to do, go ahead.”
He then apologized to the King of Xin ‘an. He was carried by a few servants, so it was really inconvenient for him to pay his respects.
The Xin ‘an King comforted him and asked if the doctor had been invited.
Xie Xian saw that Second Master Xie wasn’t very comfortable being carried by a few manservants, so he didn’t delay and went off with the Xin ‘an king to handle his affairs: “I’ll go see Second Uncle when 1 get back.”
Second Master Xie nodded, and the two of them passed each other..
