Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 116 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

As soon as Xiang Yuan's words came out, the hall was silent for a moment, and then there were whispers of chattering.

Li Qiqian is handsome and handsome, and he is completely inherited from the former queen.Because of his young age and lack of experience, he was gloomy at the moment, and he couldn't arouse awe from the bottom of his heart. Instead, he felt like a child acting like a baby and losing his temper.

The sage caught a glimpse of the prince's expression from the high seat, and the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

The saint is quite satisfied with the prince's performance today.The first quality of an heir to a dynasty is to be able to hold his breath no matter what the occasion.But today's test, the prince's performance is not bad.He was obviously worried about that little doll, but he still restrained himself and sat in the upper seat calmly, sparring with both parties, not expressing any personal prejudiced opinions, except for the eyes that he couldn't control, everything else was in place.

The sage was secretly commenting on the crown prince who was attending the government for the first time. Lord Shen, who had seized the opportunity, immediately launched an extremely sharp counterattack against the previous attack on Xiang Yuan and Xiang Anjue. Lord Li was dumbfounded by the rebuttal. Speechless, especially after Xiang Yuan presented the strong evidence that the concubine suffered from heart disease - the testimony of the close maid and the records of selling the medicine in the pharmacy, the flag completely died down.

The prince's eyes shone slightly, and his body couldn't help but relax. The saint glanced at his face that resembled the former empress, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, but in a flash, he turned his eyes away, and announced the end of this farce with a golden eloquence.

"Yuhe Wangfu lost his beloved daughter. Thinking of her loyalty and loving father, she was posthumously named Anyang princess and enjoyed the incense for generations. Li Yushi, you can go to Yuhe Wangfu to read this decree."

Mr. Li, who had been yelling a lot before, now had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

The imperial decree sounds nice, but after a closer look, one can find that the saint is extremely disgusted with Yu and the palace for neglecting a woman's life because of such a trivial matter.Otherwise, it would be impossible to point out in the imperial decree that this concubine who unfortunately died young should enjoy the incense of Yu and the palace for generations.You know, usually such a girl who has not left the boudoir, let alone a concubine, is a concubine, and it is extremely difficult to be enshrined by a generation or two, let alone a concubine, if there is a brother, You can also enjoy a little bit of offering, otherwise there will be only a lonely grave.

Also, the sage explicitly asked him to read the will, this, this is dissatisfaction with him, right?

Thinking of failing to overthrow Xiang Yuan once or twice, but asking that guy to use every opportunity to show his presence in front of the saint, Master Yushi Li was so angry that everything hurt.

In fact, Master Li and Xiang Yuan do not have much direct relationship, but Master Li was born in Tongping Mansion, and the Li family is also one of the best big families in Tongping Mansion. When Xiang Yuan was the magistrate of Tongping Mansion, he did a lot Some good things that benefit the people's livelihood are only good things for the common people, but not so wonderful for the aristocratic family, and some conflicts of interests are inevitable.Originally, Master Li was just upset, but after impeaching Xiang Yuan, who was the county magistrate of Quzhou, with him for the first time, but he came back, Master Li looked at Xiang Yuan again, and it was a hundred things that were not pleasing to the eye. There are a series of incidents in the Tongping Mansion, this Master Li's dislike for Xiang Yuan has almost become an obsession, and he has the posture of swearing not to give up until he makes him rotten.

Master Li accepted the imperial edict carefully, lowered his eyes and casually glanced at a certain position ahead, and then retreated respectfully.

In the main hall, the officials who had previously clamored to punish Xiang Yuan were all as quiet as chickens, shrinking like quails.There is no way, if it is not clear that the saint is biased, they don't have to hang out in the officialdom.

However, I couldn't help muttering to myself in my heart: If it wasn't for Mr. Xiang being a bit older, the saint is so partial, so that people can't mistake him for an illegitimate child!

Xiang Yuan who didn't know: (⊙o⊙)...

At the end of the pilgrimage, the sage took the prince back to the bedroom for dinner, and by the way summed up the harvest of this pilgrimage.

"Any ideas?"

Li Qiqian sat upright opposite the sage, and the teacup in front of him was the hot tea just brought in by the maid, and it was smelling fragrant.In the mist, Li Qiqian spoke with a slightly angry tone.

"Father, my son doesn't understand, Mr. Xiang is dedicated to serving the public, why can't some people tolerate him?"

The sage took a sip from the teacup and did not directly return to the prince's question, but asked him: "After the man named Mo Shu by your side left, did anyone mention him in front of you?"

The prince was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No one has mentioned it again, just like Mo Shu has never served in the East Palace."

"You know why?"

The prince thought for a while, and slowly said: "Because they are afraid of mentioning Mo Shu, the son is thinking about old feelings, and then he finds people back and fills their position. No one is willing, so the name Mo Shu will never be used again." Someone will bring it up in front of his son."

The sage is still calm. He was imprisoned on the island because of the prince and fed medicine. He was almost obliterated because he couldn’t get rid of the drug addiction. In the end, even if he got rid of the drug addiction, he couldn’t serve in the East Palace anymore. A sage doesn't have the slightest feeling for a servant who can only be dispatched out of the palace.

If the person is useless, he can be replaced with another one, but it is just a servant who serves a little better, and the Department of Internal Affairs will send the next best one, nothing worth thinking about all the time.

"Above the court, it's like me and your side. The people who serve are vying to stand out and step on others. The interests are even more involved. Some people gain, and others naturally lose. Those who lose naturally don't want to get it. It's easy for you, I'm afraid that day and night you'll be thinking about how to step down on me and the people closest to you, and then replace them yourself. This is human nature, and it's also the most complicated and difficult to distinguish."

The prince seemed to have realized something, and said: "That is to say, Xiang Yuan violated the interests of some people, so someone wants to overthrow him?"

"Ganer, you have to remember that the position you are in doesn't require you to deliberately please anyone, and you don't need anyone you really like. You just need to understand who you need! This person is what you need, and it is you Those who need to be maintained, on the contrary, those who have no use value, do not need your energy at all."

Li Qiqian's heart trembled suddenly, and the first thing that came to mind was Mr. Xiang's elegant face. In a flash, for some reason, what came to his mind more clearly was the one who was born in the harem, his younger brother, the second prince.Feeling a chill slowly creeping up, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

The sage didn't say anything, but assigned two homework.

"Go back and submit a summary of today's events. This is the first; second, make a list of the people involved in this incident."

Prince: (⊙o⊙)...

There is still homework!

At the same time, Zhou Yi, who had returned to Cheng'en Gong's mansion, stood in front of Cheng'en Gong with a face full of resentment, and was forced to accept Cheng'en Gong's scolding.

"Stupid! You are so reckless. Not only did you fail to achieve your own goals, but you became a stepping stone for others to test their way forward, causing the saint to lose face severely in front of everyone! Not only the Cheng'en government, Even the crown prince will be ashamed!"

Zhou Yan groaned twice, and retorted: "The prince doesn't know that we are going to deal with Xiang Yuan."

Cheng Engong heard that his old face, which was not very rosy, turned pale with anger: "Could it be that His Royal Highness is confused? He has doubts and will definitely investigate secretly. Once he finds out that this matter is related to Cheng Engong's mansion, The already precarious relationship between us and His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely cast a heavy shadow!"

I don't know if he thought of the consequences of being discovered by the prince, Zhou Yan's face gradually became ugly.

"Then, father, how should we deal with this situation now?"

Cheng Engong closed his eyes tiredly.From the will of the sage, it can be seen that the sage disdains such low-level methods, and seems to be extremely disgusted with the death of Yu and the concubine of the palace because of this incident. In such a situation, people must not be aware of this. The matter has something to do with Cheng'en Gongfu!

"Order to go down and deal with all the servants involved in this matter immediately. From tomorrow, you can apply to the Department of Foreign Affairs to supervise the construction of foreign embassies."

Zhou Yan suddenly had a bitter face.The foreign embassy has not been built well in two or three years. Applying to be transferred there is to force him to stay away from the upper social circle in the capital.

He was full of reluctance, but when he touched Cheng Engong's gloomy face, Zhou Yi didn't have the guts to open his mouth to object, so he had to be reluctant to agree.

At this time, in a huge courtyard two distances away from Cheng En Gong's mansion, in the most open and sparse courtyard, under the plum tree with light snow, four people sat cross-legged in a pavilion surrounded by thick felt blankets, Xixue couldn't get into the pavilion, and a pottery urn was hanging on the stove inside, and flowers were gurgling, and as the hot soup rolled, the rich aroma wafted out one by one.

"Unexpectedly, he is just a poor boy who is not even considered a poor family, but the saint treats him with such favor."

The one who spoke was the only one among the four who was fat and about 50 years old.

"Heh, until now you still can't see through the saint's intentions, our aristocratic family is really at the end of its rope!"

Being ridiculed by an extremely handsome old man, the fat old man's expression did not change. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks, quickly added a piece of meat and bone from the tumbling pottery urn, blew it, took a big bite, and served it again. He took a sip of the hot rice wine, and after showing a satisfied face, he said slowly: "The eldest son of Cheng En Gong's mansion, this time he fell a big somersault. It turned out that there was no one following behind. He Wangfu couldn't see the situation clearly, and was willing to bow down and give in, who knew that not only a girl would be paid, but the saint would be annoyed, tsk tsk, two unlucky bastards!"

As soon as the fat old man finished speaking, the rest of the people showed secret smiles in unison.In the end, one of the old men, who seemed to be the leader, said, "Since you have tested the bottom line of the sage with the blessing of Cheng'en Gongfu, then everyone should stop. He is just a small person, so he can make trouble outside." , When we get to the capital, even a bird of prey has to shrink its wings!"

The matter between Yu and the palace came to an end, and within two days, Xiang Yuan heard the news that the single steward in charge of the official residence had been deprived of his post because of breaking the law, and would never be hired again.

The person who came to report the letter seemed to know about the conflict between Xiang Yuan and Shan Guanshi. After telling the news, they thought that Xiang Yuan would be very happy and satisfied, but unexpectedly Xiang Yuan not only didn't show how happy he was, but was rather quiet.

"Because of us?"

Zhao Shen was obviously a little uneasy when he dismissed the "kind" official who came to report the letter.He also didn't have a good impression of the single steward who looked down on people with his dog's eyes, but the consequences of the report by the little official just now seemed a bit serious.Never to be hired, this is a very, very severe punishment for a small official who is working hard and desperately to climb up, so severe that it makes people desperate.

Xiang Yuan patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder and said, "No, if it's because of us, demotion or transfer would be considered serious, far from causing such serious consequences."

Zhao Shen looked at Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan turned his head slightly, looking in the direction of the palace.Zhao Shen has been an official with Xiang Yuan for so long, and his political sensitivity has long been different. After thinking about it, he understood the key.

"It's a saint, right?"

Zhao Shen said this very quietly.

Xiang Yuan nodded.

The single steward was also unlucky, and happened to collide with Yu and Wangfu's framing of Zhuang Zhuang. The saint was worried that he had no reason to vent his anger and show the majesty of the Tian family, so that the rest of the people could see clearly that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish The supreme authority of the emperor's unified imperial power, the single steward took the lead.Therefore, being in charge of things alone became the chicken in the "killing chickens to make an example to monkeys".

Smiling slightly, Xiang Yuan suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

No matter what, he will give birth to the most important family around the head of the household.

Three days later, Xiang Yuan's visit to Beijing to report on his duties came to an end.Before leaving, he looked down at the thin house deed handed over by his wife in his hand, speechless.

The deed of Wangpu in Beijing! !

The daughter-in-law is still richer than herself, so she is a little bit worried.
