Chapter 60 Changes in the Imperial Court

The next day, big news came from the palace.

The emperor issued an imperial edict to deprive himself of the title of Marquis of the Changsheng Marquis Mansion, take back the Marquis Mansion, return all the rewards in the mansion's treasury to the state treasury, and order the entire Sheng family to move out of the Marquis Mansion within five days.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was shocked.

Everyone knew that the position of Marquis was on the verge of collapse, but when it really fell to the ground, everyone could not help but be shocked.

Although I was shocked, I couldn't help but sigh at His Majesty's thunderous methods today.

That's the Hou Mansion!

From ancient times to the present, why have so many people fought hard to gain a title?

Because the title represents the prosperity of the family and the prosperity and wealth of future generations.

Daliang has a long history. Looking back at the history books, it is not difficult to find that the decline of most noble families was due to the small number of people in the family. After the family died, the title would naturally not be passed down.

The remaining few lost their titles because they committed serious crimes, such as forcing the palace to rebel, or doing something unforgivable.

Like the Changsheng Hou family, those who lost their title due to breaking off the engagement were really the first of their kind.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that breaking off the engagement is just an excuse. The collapse of the Hou Mansion was actually due to the unworthy descendants of the prosperous Hou Mansion.

This incident has also sounded an alarm in the hearts of many wealthy families in the capital - look, the Marquis Mansion can abolish everything at any time. Those who have dandy children in their families must consider the weight of their own family, otherwise they will not know tomorrow.

Let’s see whose house is lively.

As soon as the news reached Tangli Ju, Xue Shu immediately took Qingyu to listen to the Zhuyuan to join in the fun. Everyone gathered around the stove to make tea, which was very comfortable and relaxing.

When such a big event happened, Xue Chen and Jing Xing would definitely have something to say. Naturally, Xue Shu also wanted to hear what the future No. 1 Scholar and the No. 1 Scholar would have to say about this matter.

"In my opinion, Your Majesty acted so quickly because he was afraid that something might happen to Xiang Xue again," Jing Xing said, looking at Xue Shu with a vague gaze, "After all, I heard that Zhenbei Hou Mansion has been treating Xue Shu in the past few days.

Prime Minister Xue's attitude has changed greatly. The Marquis of Zhenbei changed his defense of Prime Minister Xue in the court, and instead began to confront him tit for tat. This is not a good thing."

The attitude change of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion began when Xue Shu was slapped and Xue Lu returned to the Hou Mansion with her children.

Before this incident happened, the Marquis of Zhenbei did a lot to protect Xue Yue in the court.

Xue Yue was originally at odds with Prime Minister You, but as long as the Marquis of Zhenbei was there, it would be the Marquis of Zhenbei who would fight with Prime Minister You, and Xue Yue only had to sit back and watch.

It's better now. The Marquis of Zhenbei is even more irritable than the Right Prime Minister. He will scold him whenever he feels unhappy and refuse to recognize his relatives. That's not giving him any face. Now the Right Prime Minister doesn't speak much.

With the Marquis and the Right Prime Minister taking the lead, everyone followed suit. Now Xue Yue is struggling in the court, and his prestige has plummeted, which is simply sighing.

Xue Chen also nodded and sighed: "Yes, if my father does anything to displease the Hou family again, I am afraid that the position of the left prime minister will also be moved."

Xue Chen's tone was calm and gentle, as if he was not talking about his own family affairs.

After all, Xue Yue is not a qualified father. Xue Chen is able to have today's knowledge and insight because of his own talent and the cultivation of him regardless of cost by the Xue Lu family and the Hou family. As for Xue Yue?

It was just because he was the only child of the Xue family that I paid a little more attention to him.

Of course, it was limited to a few words of greetings, and not a single thing that needed to be done was done.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has guarded the northern border for generations and protected the peace of the border. He has worked hard and made great achievements, and he has never taken credit for himself. His majesty naturally relies more on him. And Prime Minister Xue... To be honest, there are not many people in the court who are better than him. If you want two

If you choose one, Your Majesty will definitely choose the Marquis of Zhenbei." Jing Xing said, "I heard that the border is stable this year, and the brother of the Marquis of Zhenbei sent a message saying that he wants to bring his family back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Xue Chen nodded slightly and wanted to laugh a little when talking about this: "Yes, the second uncle has not returned to Beijing for several years. No, as soon as he heard that this girl was finally willing to get close to the Hou Mansion, he led his troops to sweep through Northern Xinjiang overnight.

Several tribes then sent messages to His Majesty saying they wanted to come back.

Alas, uncle is going crazy with joy."

Can you be unhappy? The niece you have been estranged from for more than ten years is finally willing to get close to her again, and your brother who has been away in the frontier for several years has also sent a letter to return to Beijing. This year's Zhenbei Hou Mansion can be said to be a double blessing.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou came to visit and specifically said that she wanted Xue Lu to take them back to celebrate the New Year, so that the whole family would have a great time.

Xue Shu was busy turning over flower ropes with Qing Yu. When her brother suddenly talked about herself, she glared at him with dissatisfaction and said: "Then I'll just move to the Hou Mansion. Then I'll let you, brother, only focus on your second sister."

Well, the second sister is going crazy with joy."

What does it mean to set yourself on fire?

This is it.

Xue Chen decisively shut his mouth.

Jing Xing chuckled lightly and teased, "I've rarely seen you act like you don't dare to speak."

Xue Chen glared at him.

The room became quiet for a moment.

The master and the servant had a great time playing with the flower rope. Jing Xing and Xue Chen leaned aside and watched them quietly. For a while, only the charcoal fire on the side made a few small sounds from time to time.

Finally, the flower rope reached the end. Xue Shu looked left and right, and finally turned her head decisively and said: "Brother, I want to eat roasted oranges."

"...I'll bake it for you." Xue Chen stood up and went to get the oranges as if resigned.

He was not used to ordering people, so in the Tingzhu Garden, except for the gatekeeper and the female servant responsible for sweeping, there was no one he could use.

When Xue Shu came over today, he also asked all the servants to go back to the side courtyard, so if you want to do anything, you can only do it yourself.

After Qingyu removed the rope, she stood up, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Shu: "Girl, tomorrow is the winter solstice. Should we have shabu-shabu at noon or at night?"

She had been craving for it for several days. Every night she dreamed of slices of meat tumbling in boiling water in a copper pot, and her saliva flooded several pillows.

Tomorrow is the winter solstice.

Time flies by so fast.

Before she knew it, it had been two months since she had been reborn.

In just two months, it seemed that the pain of most of her previous life had been healed.

Xue Shu felt a little emotional for a while, but in the end this emotion could not resist the temptation of shabu-shabu: "Then let's have lunch, how about it?"

Jing Xing nodded and said, "Miss Xue, just make arrangements."

"Are all the ingredients ready?"

Qingyu nodded and said proudly: "Don't worry, girl! I contacted Fan Lou a few days ago. All you have to do is go and get it today!"

When it comes to eating, Qingyu has never slacked off.

Hearing this, Xue Shu also nodded, turned her head and glanced at the sky outside, and said: "Why don't we go now and see if Fan Lou has any new dishes? I haven't been there for a long time."

The closer to winter, the grayer the sky becomes. Even if it is sunny in the morning, it will become gloomy after noon.

It's a rare time to see the sun, so it's a good time to go out.

"Okay, okay!"

So Qingyu stood up neatly and turned around to get the cloak. Xue Shu looked at Jing Xing and said, "Mr. Jing, let's go together?"

Jing Xing smiled and nodded.

When Xue Chen walked out of the cold warehouse with a basket of oranges, he saw three people walking past him talking and laughing.
