The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!
Chapter 288 How could there be such a weird thing!
"It's fine for Jiang Mao, a warrior, to sit firmly on the throne of the general."
"Now Duke Lu and the second son of the Jiang family are also so eager to make progress. Could it be that all the talents in the world are on the side of King Xuan!?"
The King of Wei and Xie sat opposite each other, and finally they could not hold back their anger.
Jiang Zhuo has been promoted too quickly recently.
It only took less than half a month for the company to go from being ignored to being in great demand!
I ask, how can there be such a weird thing!
Xie Ji's expression was calm, his eyes fell on the black and white chess pieces in front of him, "Your Highness is young, maybe he has forgotten."
"Jiang Zhuo was a third place winner in the imperial examination."
The King of Wei paused, his eyes turned sinister, "How can a scholar who was the top scholar more than 20 years ago have such a great influence now?"
Xie Ji glanced at the King of Wei and said, "But the 10-year-old scholar who won the imperial examination is indeed memorable."
The King of Wei heard something else in this sentence, and he asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Xie Ji said: "Your father has high expectations for him."
"Then why..."
The King of Wei stopped talking halfway through.
He even found it hard to believe and looked at Xie Ji in shock: "Uncle, do you mean that he took the initiative to give in?"
The King of Wei couldn't believe what came out of his mouth.
How could anyone turn a blind eye to the power and wealth that is so easily within their reach?
Jiang Zhuo? Is he such a person of noble character?
Xie Ji said nothing, but made his move and swallowed up a large number of the King of Wei's black pieces.
Yes, is Jiang Zhuo such a noble person?
No, it's not.
The Jiang family is particularly united, and there is never any gap between the two brothers.
Xie Ji was extremely jealous of Jiang Mao. Such a reckless and brainless warrior had such a caring, wise and yielding brother.
Xie Ji had thought countless times, if he had a younger brother like Jiang Zhuo, who would he have any rivals in the court?
He was relieved when Jiang Zhuo was refused entry into the Hanlin Academy.
If Jiang Zhuo competed with him, Xie Ji was not sure whether he could really become Prime Minister Xie smoothly.
But this day finally came.
The anxious look on King Wei's face was ignored by Xie Ji.
His only concern was the pieces on the chessboard.
Back then, his Xie family was powerless, but now he is the Prime Minister Xie.
If Jiang Zhuo wants to fight him, he has to see if he has the capital to do so.
"Uncle, are we just going to sit back and watch Jiang Zhuo grow stronger?"
The King of Wei was very anxious.
Duke Lu intervened and helped King Xuan escape Prime Minister Xie's plan.
Then the original plan to plot against Princess Xuan would become even more difficult.
But Princess Xuan's family also has a person like Jiang Zhuo, how can he not be anxious?
Xie Ji glanced at King Wei and now felt that King Wei was becoming increasingly impatient.
"Your Highness, those who want to accomplish great things must calm down."
"Being impatient will only make His Highness lose his sense of proportion."
There was a hint of displeasure in Xie Ji's eyes.
Seeing Xie Ji like this, King Wei had to stop his anxiety.
Although he sometimes disagreed with his uncle, he was very clear that his uncle would always stand on his side.
"Finish this game of chess." Xie Ji said.
The King of Wei looked down and his expression changed slightly. His originally good situation had actually been ruined by Xie Ji.
Now the white pieces are full of murderous intent and are ready to surround and strangle the black pieces.
"There is no room for maneuver in a chess game like this. It is a losing game."
The King of Wei was obviously unwilling to continue.
Xie Ji said calmly: "A chess game is like life."
"Your Highness, how can you say that this is a losing game until the last step?"
The King of Wei put on a fake smile and said, "Uncle, you sound so relaxed."
Xie Ji raised his eyes and slowly fell on the King of Wei: "Then I will exchange children with Your Highness."
The King of Wei was surprised, and now he knew that Xie Ji was determined to finish the game of chess.
He thought about it and decided to agree, turning the chessboard around and exchanging the chess boxes.
But within half an hour, the King of Wei was defeated.
He looked at Xie Ji in shock: "Uncle, you..."
Xie Ji nodded slightly, "I've said it before, Your Highness, don't give up easily before the end of the road."
The King of Wei didn't know how to describe his feelings.
From the moment Xie Ji cut off his own arm while holding the black piece on the chessboard, his white pieces began to lose ground until they were completely defeated.
"Uncle is very smart. I have to admit that I am better than him."
The King of Wei stood up and saluted Xie Ji.
Xie Ji held the King of Wei's arm, but he did not move at all.
He said, "Your Highness and I have always been on the same path. You don't have to do this."
If the previous salt inspection gave King Wei some sense of accomplishment, he would have ignored Xie Ji's opinion.
From now on, the King of Wei will resume his previous harmonious coexistence with Xie Ji.
Xie Ji looked at the King of Wei's changing attitude and smiled slowly.
He will definitely help the King of Wei become the Crown Prince and eventually become the Emperor.
The Xie family will be the most prominent family.
-
King Wei invited Xie Ji to have dinner in his mansion. Xie Ji just wanted to meet Wen Yanzhen, so he agreed.
When Wen Yanzhen came, she was followed by the concubine and her daughter, as well as the pregnant Lin Yuzhong.
Xie Ji's eyes first met Wen Yanzhen, and finally fell on Lin Yuzhong.
Wen Yanzhen asked Ying Yun to come forward and salute Xie Ji. Xie Ji smiled and returned the salute to Ying Yun: "How are you, little princess?"
"Uncle, hello Yun'er!"
The little baby's crisp voice made everyone laugh.
The concubine and Lin Yuzhong also came forward to pay their respects to Xie Ji.
However, Xie Ji's expression became visibly colder.
When Lin Yuzhong saw Xie Ji, his heart could hardly stop beating wildly.
She inquired from King Wei and found out that he didn't know much about Lin Jingqiu.
The person who ordered her mother to do something back then was Xie Ji!
Lin Yuzhong instinctively felt a sense of fear towards Xie Ji.
Especially when Xie Ji's sinister eyes fell on her, she felt the temperature all over her body dropped a lot.
The concubine noticed her abnormality and asked, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Yuzhong quickly shook her head and smiled timidly: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Concubine. I'm fine."
When the concubine heard that she was fine, she stopped asking questions and sat at another table next to the screen with her daughter in her arms.
Xie Ji ate at the same table with the King of Wei and his wife. She and Lin Yuzhong were both concubines and illegitimate daughters, so naturally they sat at a different table.
Yingyun is a well-behaved child and eats obediently when it’s time to eat.
She was small and didn't eat much, so she finished the food quickly.
Wen Yanzhen knew that Xie Ji had something to say, so she asked the wet nurse to take Ying Yun away.
When Xie Ji saw Wen Yanzhen act in this way, he smiled a little more and mentioned that Wen's father had been quite diligent recently.
Wen Yanzhen's eyes moved, and he smiled and said, "Father has always been diligent."
Xie Ji received Wen Yanzhen's signal and said, "Master Wen has worked hard to avoid suspicion from the old Grand Tutor over the years."
Wen Yanzhen smiled, she knew that Xie Ji must have other purposes in coming to her house.
But it just so happened that Jiang Zhuo of the Jiang family was promoted too quickly, and someone had to suppress him.
Her father, the son of the Grand Tutor, is indeed a good candidate.
As they drank and exchanged cups, Wen Yanzhen and Xie Ji reached a consensus.
