Xie Guan's words made Xie Ji suddenly startled, and then he chuckled.

"Xie Ji, why are you laughing?"

Xie Guan asked, he felt disgusted when he saw Xie Ji now, he had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

"I laugh, you are right, but it still can't change my determination."

Xie Ji put away his smile and began to talk to them seriously.

No matter what, he has plenty of time now.

But if he regrets it now, he will die without a burial. He is a fool to rely on the aristocratic family.

Now it is only true to hug the emperor's thigh tightly.

"So, you want our Xie family to be buried with you?"

"Being buried is out of the question. After all, I cherish my life more than anyone else. Even if the entire family in the world is destroyed, I, Xie Ji, will not die."

Xie Ji calmly said to him, "Be buried with me." This is such an unpleasant thing to say.

"You...are arrogant. I didn't expect that after so many years, you haven't changed at all, but you have become more arrogant."

Xie Guan was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Judging from his appearance, he was quite reliable.

However, he never expected that his appearance and personality were so inconsistent.

He only showed his true face today. It turns out he is so conceited.

Arrogant? Is there any?

Xie Ji was a little confused. When had he become so arrogant?

"Okay, I came all the way from the capital this time, not just to reminisce about old times."

Xie Ji saw that he was now in a tense state and ignored their sullen expressions.

"Okay, Prime Minister Xie, please tell me what you think."

Patriarch Xie looked at the stalemate now, and his heart was already in a mess.

Do you really want to go to the last step?

"The Xie family voluntarily gave up those ten thousand hectares of land and presented it to His Majesty. In addition, whatever laws are promulgated in the future, the Xie family will comply with them. In this way, everything will be fine."

Xie Ji finally expressed his current thoughts.

One wrong step, one wrong step after another, he has already made a mistake, then let him make a more complete mistake.

The Xie family can't take it now. If they do, they will die quickly.

"Xie Ji, what did you say? Tell me again and give up. Do you know what this means?"

Xie Guan was a little in disbelief when he heard this sentence and took the initiative to give it up. What he regretted was not the land, but the meaning behind the land.

The land can be transferred, but if it is transferred, it means that the Xie family has severed ties with other aristocratic families and sided with the emperor.

It's your business if you, Xie Ji, side with the emperor, but don't try to bring the entire Xie family with you.

This is impossible, impossible.

"I know, but this is not up to you. The holy orders cannot be violated. The consequences of going against His Majesty will be annihilation."

Xie Ji chuckled slightly, quite a bit like a villain.

Xie Guan was completely angered by Xie Ji's words.

"Xie Ji, Your Majesty, haha, it turns out that you, Xie Ji, are willing to extend your sword to your own family just to please Your Majesty for your position. If you knew you were such a virtuous person, I should have killed you the moment you were born.

."

After hearing Xie Ji's words, Xie Guan's eyes revealed a fierce look, but he concealed it.

Xie Ji stood up and put down Xie Guan's hand pointing at Xie Ji.

"Uncle, it's a pity that time cannot be turned back. It can only be regarded as destiny."

Xie Ji looked at Xie Guan and sighed, then smiled slightly, not angry at all.

"Destiny, what a destiny." There was a hint of irony in Xie Guan's mouth, "The Xie family has really committed evil, committed evil, this is really evil. From now on, my Xie family will not be able to hold up its head in the scholarly world.

"

"Uncle, what are you trying to explain to him? Since he is disobedient, just kill him. Our Xie family does not lack a prime minister like him. Having such a prime minister will do more harm than good to my Xie family.

"Xie Xie stood up from behind and pulled out the sword on his waist.

He refused to point his sword at Xie Ji and looked at Xie Ji with murderous intent, "Cousin, I want to ask you one last time, are you on the side of the noble family or His Majesty?"

"If I stand with the noble family, I will die faster."

Xie Ji had no fear at all, he did not dare to kill himself.

"That's enough. Decline. Take your sword back and kill the Prime Minister. Our Xie family cannot bear this crime."

Patriarch Xie finally spoke without any expression, but his words already expressed his attitude.

"In that case, Prime Minister, I wish you a lasting favor and a lasting name. The Xie family is blocking your way."

Patriarch Xie said this calmly, without anger or any other emotion.

"Patriarch." A relatively gentle old man stood up and wanted to stop this scene.

"Clan leader, the matter has not yet reached a point where it can be undone."

Xie Tang's words made everyone look at him, and Xie Tang spoke loudly.

"Patriarch, everyone, what the Xie family wants is for the Xie family to be strong." Then he turned to look at Xie Ji, "Prime Minister, what you want is to enforce the law."

"The two are not in conflict."

After saying this, some people looked in disbelief. How come there is no conflict? Enforcing the law will definitely damage the interests of the Xie family and even damage the foundation of the Xie family. How come there is no conflict?

"As everyone knows, the Prime Minister is a member of my Xie family. We are from the same family, so why should we have to fight against each other?"

"The Prime Minister wants to implement the law throughout the country and the entire world. The laws and regulations will inevitably harm the interests of the family. But hasn't the Prime Minister made compensation?"

"We each take a step back. This is not a life-or-death situation. Our Xie family helps the Prime Minister implement the laws. With the help of my Xie family, the Prime Minister will definitely reduce a lot of pressure; and the Prime Minister can favor our Xie family in terms of policies, but of course it does not mean that he will

If you bend the law for personal gain, you can just inform the Xie family one step before implementing the law."

"Isn't this the best of both worlds? Why make it so stiff?"

Xie Tang analyzed it in as gentle a tone as possible, making people feel that this method is really feasible.

"No, this won't work. This must never be undone."

Xie Guan heard this and said, "How can you retreat?"

You know, once we retreat, my Xie family will be attacked by the entire world.

Although they don't like our Xie family now, they still have contact with us.

If he retreats, he will be cut off from the world's noble families.

This is not a question of whether to retreat or not, this is a question of principle.

"If you retreat, you will become a sharp weapon in the emperor's hands to deal with other aristocratic families. I, the Xie family, will not bear this blame."

Xie Guan firmly opposed it. What kind of bad idea was this? I compromised this time, but what about next time?

Matters of principle cannot be compromised.

This is not a matter of how much money you owe me. You can sit down and discuss it slowly.

"Chief, I think we can retreat. The Prime Minister is right in what he said. The whole world is not the royal land. Are we resisting His Majesty's decree? The family is not as strong as it used to be to resist the emperor."

Xie Tang said, this sentence makes people have to stop and think about its meaning.

What is strength?

Not only the court, money and food, but also military power.

In addition to military power, the Xie family has a certain degree of influence among the people and the court.

But, that's all.

Without this most critical military power, everything is in vain.

If the emperor is ruthless, then there really is nothing he can do.

"this……"

Many people frowned. This was a particularly difficult problem, and the Xie family might be completely destroyed.

Xie Guan also pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "Prime Minister, we are still allowed to discuss a few things, and I will tell you the answer tomorrow. I guess it won't be too late."

Xie Guan suddenly changed his attitude and became gentler.

But my whole body felt so cold, and even my smile felt unreal.

"Of course it's okay. Xie Ji will go and take a rest first."

Xie Ji responded with a smile, he wanted to avoid himself.
