Chapter 756: Only One For Him

Old Master Xie took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the short staff in his hand. Only then did he hold it in and not break his leg. “Do you admire the County Head of Shaoyi because of this?”

Not to mention that Little Yao’er had been conferred the title of County Head of Shaoyi because of the emperor’s grace. Yu Zongzhengs official position was not low, but he relied on the emperor’s grace. The dog emperor probably couldn’t wait to marry Little Yao’er to King Yue Fei.

Any gentleman would want to pursue a graceful lady!

With the sweet potatoes to relieve the drought, even if the Xie family did not agree to this marriage, King Yue Fei could still use the excuse to marry Little Yao’er openly.

At that time, who would dare to snatch her from him, King Yue Fei?

Yin Huaixi braced himself. “That’s also the truth.’

Old Master Xie endured it again and again. He couldn’t help but slap him on the shoulder. “You’ve already planned everything. Why are you still asking me?”

With a tooth-aching crack, Yin Huaixi gasped, and his face turned pale. Old Master Xie had dislocated his shoulder bone.

It hurt. It really hurt.

Showing mercy was really showing mercy.

He would go back and find a doctor with brilliant medical skills to correct his

bones. He would recover in three to five days. Fortunately, he did not really

break his bones. Otherwise, it would be really tragic if his muscles and bones were injured for a hundred days.

Old Master Xie probably knew that he was going back to Youzhou soon, so he still knew his limits.

Yin Huaixi said, “No matter how much I scheme, don’t I still need the Xie family’s approval? How can a willing agreement be the same as a forceful agreement? It’s rare for Yao Yao to return to the Xie family. She has relatives to rely on and family to enjoy. This is also a good thing. I naturally don’t want her to be in a difficult position.”

Hearing his words, Old Master Xie felt a little better. “The emperor’s body is filled with poison, and the King of Liang is restless. What about you?” He paused, his sharp gaze piercing. “If the Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, Yue Fei will decide that the King of the North will bear the brunt. He will either be loyal or establish himself. There’s no third way.”

Yin Huaixi was cunning and had single-handedly disrupted the power of the Great Zhou. It was impossible for him to be loyal to the Great Zhou.

It was even more impossible for him to gain credit.

Firstly, as a direct descendant of the Yin family, it was impossible for Yin Huaixi to betray his ancestors and support others to ascend the throne.

Secondly, Yin Huaixi had 500,000 You soldiers and was extremely powerful. No matter who was the emperor, it was impossible for him to tolerate him. Thirdly, a few princes were fighting for the position of heir, causing them to fight among themselves. It was against the morals of the world. As the orthodox descendant of the Yin family, Yin Huaixi was the only one who was legitimate.

Yin Huaixi did not hide anything. “l forced the King of Liang to rebel firstly to overthrow the Great Zhou, and secondly to bring order to chaos and hold the banner of killing rebels high.”

Old Master Xie had a complicated expression. “The Eldest Prince and the

Second Prince are fighting for the throne. It’s only right for you to enter the Imperial City in the name of purging the emperor.”

King Yue Fei was in charge of 500,000 troops. At that time, the vassal lords would not dare to move.

However, wasn’t it too cruel to force the vassal lords to rebel and overturn the Great Zhou, causing chaos in the world?

Yin Huaixi chuckled. “There’s no building without destruction.”

The Great Zhou Dynasty had accumulated ills, and the political treasury had become corrupted. The treasury was empty, and it was difficult to make up for the shortfall. Natural and man-made disasters happened everywhere, and riots arose everywhere. The commoners complained and suffered unspeakably. The vassal lords were endless trouble, and foreign countries were even more dangerous.

After forcing the King of Liang to rebel, Yin Huaixi would destroy the rebels and establish a new dynasty. Only then would there be a logical reason to eliminate the vassal states. Without the vassal lords’ help, he could establish a new system of governance that was built on benevolence, and select good talents to govern the country.

The commoners were loyal, and the people were righteous. What was there to be afraid of?!

Old Master Xie was silent for a long time. “What about Little Yao’er? What position are you putting her in?”

He did not want Little Yao’er to enter the palace, even if she was an empress.

Yin Huaixi smiled. “l know that Yu Yue was originally a matriarchal clan, so they don’t have any concept of men being superior to women. Of course, not all Minyue people are like this. However, the Xie family is orthodox and has a long history, so they have an ancestral teaching and don’t take in concubines. Old Master naturally doesn’t want Yao Yao to suffer in this aspect in the future.’

After that, tragedies of brothers killing each other frequently happened in the third generation of the Yue Country. This was also the root cause of the destruction of the Yue Country.

This was very likely the reason why the Xie Residence did not take in concubines.

Back then, the reason why the Xie Residence had married Xie Roujia into the Yu Residence was because the Yu Residence had an ancestral rule that all descendants of the Yu Clan were only allowed to have one wife and one concubine.

Xie Roujia accepted Concubine He.

Later, when Old Madam Yu sent Concubine He to the manor, she mentioned Concubine Qiu.

It was because Madam Yang had entered the Tranquil Heart Residence that Yu Zongzhengs backyard was empty. There were many matters in the residence, so he had taken in Concubine Jiang. However, Concubine Jiang was meant to be promoted.

When Old Master Xie thought of the Yu Residence, his expression immediately darkened. Back then, Roujia’s marriage had been ruined because of this.

Since they couldn’t find a family with one husband and one wife, a family with strict rules like the Yu Clan naturally caught their attention.

The Yu Residence had too many advantages. Since they were aristocratic, they had a small family and a clean backyard.

The Xie Residence owed the Yu Clan a favor, and Old Madam Yu sincerely proposed to marry them.

Yu Zongzheng had just entered the royal court and was still considered young.

They couldn’t tell if he was good or bad. Considering the family style of the Yu

Residence, he probably couldn’t be too bad.

This was extremely attractive to the Xie family.

Unexpectedly, they had chosen someone who would harm Roujia’s life.

Seeing that Old Master Xie was silent, Yin Huaixi could guess what he was thinking. As he thought about it, he knew that with what happened with Xie Roujia, it was useless even if he cursed and swore.

“Before Old Madam Yu died, I promised her that I would only have one lover in my life.”

Old Master Xie sneered. “Emperor Gaozu and his first wife have been through thick and thin together, and their relationship is stronger than gold. After Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, in order to stabilize Gong Quan t s position and balance the royal court, he still welcomed new concubines into the palace under the advice of the court officials.”

Yin Huaixi’s words were easier said than done.

Even the high and mighty emperor could not do as he pleased, especially since the new dynasty had just been established. When the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he had to do was reward the meritorious generals and balance the power of the royal court. If he could not make them submit, it would cause the emperor’s power to be unstable and the court to be uncertain. At that time, there would be another bloodbath.

Choosing new concubines was the most convenient, fast, and effective way.

There were no exceptions in the past dynasties.

Yin Huaixi frowned. “The Emperor of Mingzong doted on the eldest palace maid in front of him. She didn’t enter the harem for more than 20 years and didn’t receive the affection of the concubines. Later, the eldest palace maid died of illness, and the Emperor of Mingzong passed away. Before he died, he left his last words that he wanted to sleep with her and die together. It could be considered a life and death contract.’

Of course, in the end, because the head palace maid did not have a title, she only had a lone coffin in the side hall of the Imperial Tombs, fulfilling the emperor’s last wish.

Old Master Xie did not say anything, but his expression was disapproving.

Yin Huaixi only took one look before lowering his head and continuing, “Emperor Xianzong only took one wife. For the rest of his life, his harem was empty. He only married a wife as his wife and was his long-term companion.

They were like ordinary husband and wife and were loving for the rest of their

lives..
