Chapter 551: The contradiction

“What you said is interesting and relatively objective.”

Tingwei Xi smiled like a flower.” Pushe is relatively objective. Why do you use the word ‘relative’?””

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but they didn’t say anything. This was the end.

Yan Dong was recommended by Xie Xian, so strictly speaking, he wasn’t objective.

Of course, whether Yan Dong would stand on Xie Xian’s side or rather offend the Xi and Cai families, no matter who it was, the outcome was still uncertain.

”No matter who’s right or wrong, Xie Clan, the granddaughter-in-law of the chief justice, has miscarriage. It’s necessary for them to plead guilty to Xi Clan and the chief justice–”

A straightforward person doesn’t beat around the bush. There’s no need for us to say these polite words.”

Tingwei Xi interrupted him rudely, but Xie Xian didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, he smiled and said,”At your command, chief justice.”

“Do you want to drink tea while you start?” Chief Justice Xi asked casually. He didn’t talk about it in depth, only talking about the weather.

It wasn’t until they stopped at the elegant house that the two of them entered the private room under the warm hospitality of the shopkeeper.

Because of Xie Xian, this elegant house was not welcomed by the young masters of the aristocratic families. It was almost closed. The owner changed hands, and Xie Xian ordered his subordinates to buy it. Other than changing owners, even the shopkeeper and waiter remained the same. It was so secretive that even the shopkeeper didn’t know that Xie Xian was his real boss. He just thought that Xie Xian was a powerful official that he couldn’t afford to offend. Every time he carefully smiled, he was afraid that this person would flare up from time to time and lose the enthusiasm that Pan Shuo had brought up with great difficulty.

“I wonder why you are here?”Xie Xian took a sip of tea and asked softly.

Chief Justice Xi didn’t beat around the bush,”Naturally, it’s because of this old man’s retirement.”

Ever since Emperor Yong Ping ascended the throne, Tingwei Xi had spent most of his time at home. Because of the war, of course, Emperor Yongping wanted these major clans to avoid troubles. Additionally, the dean of the court was also the master of the emperor. Although he only taught them for a couple of months and didn’t make any contribution to the ascension of the emperor, he couldn’t mess with the title; otherwise, he would be deceived by others.

Emperor Yong Ping didn’t get the throne properly and didn’t get the imperial edict from the previous emperor. His foundation was unstable and he needed the recognition of the aristocratic families, especially from people with high moral standing like Chief Justice Xi.

As the Emperor’s teacher, if the Emperor had no virtue or talent, it could shake the Emperor’s foundation.

Therefore, even though Xi Jingwei claimed to be sick at home, Emperor Yong Ping just turned a blind eye and asked the minister to handle the affairs on his behalf.

Of course, Chief Justice Xi wanted to promote Minister Xi to the throne. However, the throne was not inherited by the son after the death of the father. Once he stepped down and did not promote Minister Xi, it was easy to offend the emperor. In the future, the Xi family would only be promoted to Minister.

The position of a minister was considered the highest position for an ordinary aristocratic family, but Chief Justice Xi wasn’t satisfied with this.

“As the dean of the supreme court is the teacher of the emperor, as long as the memorial is submitted, the emperor would definitely approve it.”At most, he would try to persuade her to stay and put up a good front.

Xi Tingwei narrowed his eyes.”

This was another way of saying that he was cunning.

Xie Xian smiled.”

“In my opinion, only his personality is inferior. The rest can be said to be green from the blue.”

Tingwei Xi didn’t want to be straightforward, so he beat around the bush.

Xie Xian could naturally hear it, but he had never heard of anyone who took the initiative to come to his door and not speak first to ask the other party to reveal the truth. Therefore, he was neither angry nor did he speak. He just picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Then, another mouthful.

Another bite.

Forget it.” Chief Justice Xi had always been straightforward. He had banged the table and challenged several emperors before. Although he was old, he was not old and cunning.

He couldn’t be so overcautious.

“I’ll tell Pushe the truth. I want to retire, but… He wanted his four sons to take the position of the chief justice.”

“I’m afraid that the Emperor won’t agree so easily.” Xie Xian smiled.” Tingwei Xi couldn’t tell the emperor himself. How could he say-I’ll step down and let my son take over?

No matter how brainless one was, it was impossible for them to say such words.

“I have heard that the emperor has a will in the secretary, Cai Jianjun.”Xie Xian said indifferently.

Supervisor Cai was the head of the Cai family, Xie Xian’s uncle, and Cai Erlang’s father.

Chief Justice Xi smiled, thinking that he had already known.

Although the great clans looked down on the royal family’s background, their lack of foundation, and their shallow knowledge, they did not dare to underestimate the imperial power. Which aristocratic family did not have a few spies in the palace?

The remaining members of the Langya Wang family were still in the palace. All the aristocratic families knew this, but…It was just left there.

When he needed it, he would naturally push it to the front.

Previously, when the remnants of the Langya Wang family were pulled out, the Emperor did not feel anything, but the various aristocratic families, at least the family heads, saw through it.

It had always been the one who benefited the most.

Xie Xian.

Chief Justice Xi looked at Xie Xian, who was in his prime and looked like a jade man, and sighed sincerely.

“Xie Pushe thought of the previous dynasty?”

Xie Xian burst into laughter,”You must be joking, Chief Justice.” I’ll only be a loyal minister.”

“Oh, no wonder the remnants of the Langya Wang family were found so quickly.”Chief Xi said.

Xie Xian lowered his eyes and smiled.

“I thought it was the chief justice.”

Neither of them gave in.

If you say that, I’ll say that you’re doing this for the sake of your grandson’s future.

Chief Justice Xi didn’t say anything and was already fuming. “I’m old. I don’t have that much mind and energy.

Since you’re beating around the bush, then I won’t play dumb with you. The Emperor was young, but his thoughts were not small and he was shrewd. Even though the Empress Dowager did not care about matters, there were so many princes in the Imperial Family who were not to be trifled with.”

The Xiao and Xie families are favored by the emperor, Sikong Xiao has made great contributions, and you are the only one in the court who can say no to you. If the Cai family comes to power again, do you think… Alright?”

It’s not that I think, but the emperor thinks.”

At this point, Xie Xian did not beat around the bush.

Although the Cai family is my uncle’s family, they have never been on good terms. The emperor also knows that. In addition, before the emperor ascended the throne, he was very close to Cai Qilang.”

It’s not just Cai Qilang who is close to the emperor, there’s also my Little Eighteen.”

At this moment, the two of them were completely exposed.

The Xie family was now in a state of fire. Even if he wanted to calm the heat down, he couldn’t. The emperor wouldn’t let him.

Retreating after success was a disgrace to the emperor.

Moreover, Emperor Yong Ping not only did not want to lose face, but also wanted to balance the court. He wanted to use Xie Xian, but he also did not want the Xiao and Xie families to become big. This was the contradiction.

Although the Cai family and I are relatives, we are not close. And the Xi family was only related to the Xiao and Xi families by marriage.”

Tingwei Xi downed the remaining half of the teacup.

I thought you had thought it through before you made this move..”
