But no matter what, Li Xingchen had to admit that the political marriage method was indeed very useful.
Since he had promised Yuan Lexhang, he naturally had to give face to his father-in-law. He looked very nervous, but Li Xingchen could understand his mood.
It would be great if Yang Jian could appear in front of him with such nervousness and fear and bow his head.
It's just that the father-in-law is obviously not as well-behaved as the one in front of him.
"The Qing family is flat," Li Xingchen raised his hand slightly, looked at Yuan Sheng, and said with a smile, "I have met the old lady of the Yuchi family in Jiankang Mansion before. The Qing family and the old lady are somewhat similar. The old lady's temperament
I admire you for your tenacity, and the Qing family should be no less good."
"I don't dare!" Yuan Sheng said hurriedly, he was flattered.
Li Xingchen directly carried Yuanshi, the wife of the Yuchi family, out. This really gave him face. This was His Majesty the Emperor's attempt to get closer.
Li Xingchen did not exchange any more greetings with Yuan Sheng and went straight to the point: "I have no intention of questioning the Yuan family now. Why are the Qing family so anxious to come to see me?"
A big stone in Yuan Sheng's heart finally fell to the ground, but what Li Xingchen said, who knows if he would do anything else, so he didn't want to change his previous plan:
"Your Majesty, the Yuan clan has always bowed its head to wait for heaven to listen and obey orders. However, there are many rebellious people among the young disciples. Now, there are many Yuan clan children under the rebel Yang Jian. These people are not completely unaware.
Repent, now the grassroots are willing to come forward to persuade them to turn back, and I beg your Majesty to give the grassroots this opportunity."
Li Xingchen immediately understood Yuan Sheng's intention.
Although the Yuan family has not been liquidated now, their previous status has been completely lost. Yuan Sheng and others who are in charge of the housework are naturally unwilling to do so. After all, no one wants to lose what they have carefully maintained for generations.
They lost everything, and they didn’t want the younger generation of the family to have to start from scratch like those children from poor families.
In this way, as the masters of this generation of the Yuan family, they will be nailed to the family's pillar of shame.
Therefore, they are also trying to find ways to change this situation.
There is really nothing left in the hands of the Yuan family. Yuan Le Shang's entry into the palace only gives Yuan Sheng a chance to meet His Majesty. It is obviously a bit wishful thinking to rely on Yuan Le Shang to make a comeback. After all, Li Xingchen is favored in the harem.
There are quite a few people there, and behind them are the northern aristocratic families, the Bashu aristocratic family, and the southeastern aristocratic family. If the Yuan family gets involved rashly, they may be shattered to pieces.
Therefore, the only ones left in the Yuan family are Yuan Xie and Yuan Hao, who are still outside the family. After all, they are the only commanders of soldiers and horses that Yang Jian can use now.
The Yuan family's recalling these children would be tantamount to betraying Yang Jian completely.
Yuan Sheng didn't feel any guilt for betraying Yang Jian, especially if selling Yang Jian could bring about the revival of the family, then Yuan Sheng wouldn't mind selling Yang Jian seven or eight times.
When Yuan Xie and others are destined to no longer be able to shoulder the future of the Yuan family, the Yuan family not only has to make choices, but also strives to make the best possible use of those who have been abandoned.
Li Xingchen looked happy. He was worried about the delay in ending the war in the north, so the Yuan family came to his door.
If Yuan Xie and others can be persuaded to defect, then Yang Jian will have no more soldiers to fight with!
When the time comes, whether it is Yu Wenxian or Tiele, will they still support Yang Jian after learning that he no longer has any soldiers?
The answer is probably no!
Therefore, even if Yuan Sheng only brought the Yuan family's children to surrender to Li Xinchen, it would be equivalent to taking away Yang Jian's last support.
It's nothing more than pulling firewood out of the cauldron.
"As far as I know, these young members of your Yuan family seem to have a lot of conflicts with the family." Li Xingchen thought of something else.
There are frequent conflicts between Yuan Xie and others and the Yuan family. Of course, this conflict may be because they have different views on the political situation, or it may be a state that must be presented to the court, but no matter
In other words, according to the information from the white robe spies, the Yuan family disciples with Yuan Xie and others outside and the Yuan family are currently in a state of division, and there is almost no contact between the two parties.
Therefore, Li Xingchen's question is easy to understand. Where did Yuan Sheng get the confidence to think that he can bring back these young disciples who have drawn a clear line with the family?
"What your Majesty knows is true," Yuan Sheng breathed out. Regardless of whether Li Xingchen just asked casually or had doubts about the matter itself, at least he had to give Li Xingchen a reasonable answer. "But after all, these disciples outside are also
They are all from my Yuan family, and the blood of the Yuan family flows through them. I am willing to show affection and reason, no matter whether they are for the survival of the family or for personal life, there is always a possibility that they will loosen their grip."
Yuan Sheng did not dare to speak too harshly. This was undoubtedly telling Li Xingchen that the Yuan family was betting on both sides.
In fact, whether Yuan Sheng admits it or not, Li Xingchen also knows the Yuan family's plan. Now that Yang Jian has become a grasshopper after the fall, the Yuan family also wants to find ways to save the lives of some young people as much as possible. After all, the young people belong to the family.
In the future, elderly women like Yuan Sheng and weak women like Yuan Leshang will eventually be unable to maintain the progress of the entire Yuan clan.
But knowing this, Li Xingchen couldn't refuse Yuan Sheng's request.
"That's very good," Li Xingchen said with a smile. At this time, he could only "believe it is true." "Then the Lao Qing family will leave for the north as soon as possible. There is still a lack of manpower in the general office, so I will first wrong the Qing family to serve as general secretary.
Bar."
There was already sweat on Yuan Sheng's forehead, for fear that Li Xingchen would dwell on this issue. After all, most aristocratic families would choose to bet in multiple ways during troubled times, so Yuan's approach was actually tacitly understood by everyone, but
If Li Xingchen really insists on this issue, then the loyalty of the Yuan family will naturally be very questionable.
Once Li Xingchen encounters a setback in the future, will the Yuan family switch sides easily?
However, Li Xingchen obviously had no intention of getting involved in this matter, so Yuan Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the official position assigned by Li Xinchen, it was secondary. Li Xinchen asked him to go north, after all, he would not let him remain a white man.
Although the general office is not a central organization of the imperial court, it is responsible for dealing with various forces. It is a good position for the Yuan family who is in urgent need of making friends with the new nobles of the new dynasty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Sheng solemnly handed over his hand.
Next to her, Yuan Lexhang was also sweating behind her back, and she was not as relaxed as her father.
