Chapter 245 [Marriage]
Han Mo knew very well that with a bloody spirit, he would bring some trouble to him, more or less, by taking away the Qingying's corpse from the East Flower Hall. After all, the relevant yamen are now interrogating the Ximen clan and planning the preparation of completely eliminating the Ximen clan. The black flag assassin is also an important part of it. Taking away the Qingying himself will always let some people with ulterior motives find some talk.
However, he did not expect that the first person to scold him for this matter was his uncle Han Xuandao.
"Don't!" Han Xuandao sat in the study, looking at Han Mo who was standing in front of him respectfully, with a gloomy face and frowned: "Big confused!"
Han Xuanchang sat on the chair next to him, holding a teacup in his hand, gently touching the bottom edge of the cup, thinking about something.
"Yes!" Han Mo could only reply softly.
"Some people are worried that they have no handle to catch them, but you are accustomed to them." Han Xuandao said coldly: "You are a smart child, how could you do such a confused thing? Do you really think that those people are vegetarians and dare not impeach you?"
Han Mo lowered his head.
He also knew that he took away the Qingying's corpse, although it satisfied his moral sense, from a realistic perspective, it was really a defeat.
"No matter what the person is, since he dies, he will have the value of his death. You are still too young, so I must tell you that sometimes for the benefit of the family, the lives of living people can be sacrificed, let alone a mere corpse." Han Xuandao said slowly: "We are not tourists from the world, we are not talking about avenging revenge, or we are talking about being righteous. What we want is to maximize the interests of the family and ensure that our tribe can survive... You should also see that once the aristocratic family falls, the consequences are not to bear one person and two people, but the entire family... I hope you remember these words, and I hope you understand that sometimes your every move is not only for you, Han Mo, but for my entire Han family!"
Han Xuanchang finally sighed: "The courage of a young man, the courage of a young man!"
"Forget it, I won't discuss this matter for now." Han Xuandao picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, his expression was a little gentler: "Although you act recklessly, you have done a big thing to lead the West Flower Hall this time, saving the important officials of the court from Ximen Leizang. Everyone has obvious to you. From a certain perspective, your West Flower Hall is a bit stable. However, this contribution exceeds the East Flower Hall, so you must beware of the East Flower Hall action... The current strength of the East Flower Hall is far above your West Flower Hall. Princess Xiu, this woman, doesn't take action easily. If she really takes action, there are not many people who can compete with her. She has never regarded you as a real opponent, but if you make a contribution, I think she will re-examine you... This is not a good thing!"
Han Mo raised his head and stared at Han Xuan and said, "I have no fear!"
Han Xuandao smiled, "It's good to have courage, but our Han family has always looked down on the courage of the Ximen clan!"
"Yes!" Han Mo nodded slightly.
"Xiao Wu, the Ximen clan is destined to perish. In less than half a year, Ye Wu and the Ximen clan who are about to die have disappeared from the power map of Yan State. You can also see that the foundation of our aristocratic family is not as deep-rooted as people see. If you take a wrong step, kill the family and destroy the clan, the enemy will not give you any chance to breathe." Han Xuandao's voice became serious again: "If our Han family is caught by the enemy, they will definitely hit us to death, and we will not be able to turn over."
When Han Mo saw Han Xuandao suddenly said this to him, he knew that there must be something else to say, so he just listened patiently and glanced at Han Xuanchang slightly. Seeing that his eyes were also looking at him, squinting his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"The Xiao family has a grand master and son, Xiao Huaiyu, and the He family follows him. There are many cliques, so there is no need to say anything. The Su family has the position of commander of the Yingxiang Camp. As the Minister of Personnel, Su Guanya has his own confidants in the court and even in Yan State, and cannot be underestimated. These two factions are also the two strongest forces in Yan State today. Other major families, including my Han family, are hard to reach." Han Xuandao sat on the chair with a cold expression and a low voice. This study is like a secret room of the Han Mansion. Although it is midnight, there is always the guardian of the shadow guard outside. There is no need to worry that anyone can see any news from here. It is extremely safe to speak. "If our Han family wants to survive, we must have a tense position in the court, and to be able to stand firm, we need enough self-protection strength!"
Han Mo heard a gloomy smell from Han Xuandao's words.
He has always been very strange that the children of the Han family seem to have their own characteristics in their temperaments, and they do not have the same characteristics because they are a family or even brothers.
Han Xuandao's feeling that Han Mo was always filled with a gloomy feeling that penetrated deep into his bones under a very calm face.
He is like a copy of Han Zhengqian, both meticulous and cold and low-key. Although Han Xuanling is his brother, the two have completely different temperaments.
Han Xuanling is free and easy, heroic, full of righteousness and masculinity, and that is also a person Han Mo respects from the bottom of his heart.
His father, Han Xuanchang, is humble, soft and hard, and has a gentle temperament, but when he gets angry, he is also full of domineering.
They undoubtedly all have distinct personalities.
"Xiao Wu, the old fox of the Xiao family talked about the marriage with your father. He wanted to marry. I heard you disagree?" Han Xuandao changed his tone and turned to the topic of Han Mo's most troublesome headache.
Han Mo's palms were sweating slightly.
He suddenly realized that Han Xuandao called him over tonight, and scolding him was fake, and talking about marriage was probably the ultimate goal.
"Yes!" Han Mo said with a tough forehead: "My father mentioned this matter, but...!"
Han Xuandao had already interrupted: "Don't you want to?"
Han Mo pondered and finally said: "The family marriage is not only difficult for me to accept, but more importantly, it is also unfair to the girls who have married!"
"But it is very fair to the two families." Han Xuandao said lightly: "A marriage can ensure that the two families can form an alliance and resist external threats together. This is of course a good thing for the two major families."
Han Mo was silent. He could not deny Han Xuandao's statement. After all, under the current situation in Yan State, Han Xuandao's words absolutely make sense.
Han Xuanchang finally said: "Mo'er, your uncle has already made a marriage for you..."
Han Mo frowned and looked at Han Xuan and said.
Han Xuandao brought a cup of tea and nodded, "No, but we will not form an alliance between the Xiao family and the Su family. Their family is too powerful. Once we allied with any of them, we will only become their tools. Unconsciously, all aspects will be held hostage by them...!"
Han Mo couldn't help asking, "Which uncle is going to form an alliance with?"
"Fan Family!" Han Xuandao said calmly: "Before Bozhou County quelled the rebellion, I had a secret discussion with Lord Fan. At that time, Lord Fan had not given a clear reply yet!"
"The Fan family agrees now?" Han Mo asked with a frown.
Han Xuandao nodded and said, "The Ye and Wu families were destroyed. It seems that there are fewer enemies, but in fact the situation is even worse. Our Han family can detect this, and the Fan family naturally also noticed that they must find strong allies to ensure that their Fan family can survive. The choices left for the Fan family are like my Han family, not many!"
Seeing that Han Mo looked a little ugly, Han Xuanchang said: "I have seen the lady of the Fan family once as a father. Needless to say, she is a lady from a family, and she is well-educated and kind. She is a rare beauty. She will not treat you badly when she welcomes her through the door!"
Han Mo had a bitter face, full of unwillingness, and finally said, "Have you decided not to repent?"
"It's not a joke." Han Xuandao stared at Han Mo: "If you repent, you will offend the Fan family, and my Han family will fall into a difficult place. Don't forget that your future father-in-law is the Minister of War, and you have a lot of power at hand." He seemed to feel Han Mo's reluctance and said, "Xiao Wu, you are already an adult, and you should not act in an impulse in everything. As I said just now, everyone in my Han family has no own interests, only the interests of the family. As a child of the Han family, you have the responsibility to bear this responsibility!"
In this era, in this environment, aristocrats of aristocrats would not tell you about freedom of marriage, love and love, and even more so on.
The purpose of marriage is to serve the interests of the family.
This is especially true for children from aristocratic families. From the moment they were born, future marriages became a bargaining chip for family interests and could not be changed.
Han Mo's identity is destined to have a superior life that others cannot match, and also destined to bear more responsibilities than ordinary people-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are gains and losses, the rules of heaven, earth and all things!
"Mr. Fan is in some trouble." Han Xuanchang said softly: "He was taken out of Qiqiao Pavilion by Ximen Leizang, saying that he was looking at the paintings. However, today the censor of the He family has already rushed out, saying that Lord Fan and Ximen Leizang are not clear. Ximen Leizang just took him out of the trap. There must be an ulterior motive in the middle, which is quite troublesome."
Han Xuandao had already said: "Fan Yunao's character is not so confused. Ximen Leizang is taking a gamble. The Fan family will not play such a cliff-leaving trick with him."
"Brother, there will be another argument tomorrow morning. Look...!"
Han Xuandao said solemnly: "Take the Fan family and help him solve this problem at this time. Fan Yunao will have a better impression of our Han family. Our Han family will give him a big gift first."
Han Xuanchang nodded, saw Han Mo look depressed, sighed, and said, "Mo'er, the overall situation is the most important!"
Han Xuandao also smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Wu, if you are a girl who will look at the center in the future, you will be taken as a concubine, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Han Mo only felt that his marriage seemed to have been settled, so he could only nod his head sadly. After all, he could not confront the entire family, nor could he harm the interests of the entire family because of his personal wishes.
He suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked, "Uncle, Xiaowu still has something to ask uncle!"
"What's the matter?"
