Poor Family

What happened in Wen Guogong's mansion quickly spread to all parties, and Chu Yao ordered the soldiers and guards of the Special Investigation Division to arrest Fourth Master Zhuang, which aroused heated discussions.

"Why can Chu Yao mobilize the soldiers and guards of the Special Investigation Division?"

After Liu Houye was dismissed from his position as the commander of the Special Investigation Division, many people stared at him.

As much as the officials of the DPRK and China hated Ye Mo, they were so envious of the power of the Special Investigation Division. They began to move around and wanted to take down the position of the Special Investigation Division's commander.

But Chu Yao, who appeared suddenly, broke all the plans of all parties.

"Didn't the emperor ask Chu Yao to take over the Special Investigation Division?"

"How is it possible, how can Chu Yao and He De have the qualifications to take over the Special Investigation Division!"

After the prince and other princes received the news, they were also extremely surprised.

While all parties were discussing, Chu Yao handed over to Meng Moling the words 'supervision department' written by the emperor himself.

"Find someone with better workmanship, and make another plaque."

After Meng Moling left Chu Yao with the words in his hand, he continued to look up at the plaque of 'Special Inspection Division'.

When the Special Investigation Department and the Special Inspection Department were established, one was in charge of arresting and arresting, and the other was in charge of spying and collecting intelligence, assisting in pairs.

Due to its duties, the Special Inspection Division has its own exclusive yamen, while the Special Inspection Division has only countless hidden piles.

Even if he is the commander of the special supervision department, he can only hide in the dark.

He doesn't want to be an unknown shadow, he wants power, power above board, and when bullying and criticism are exposed again, he can fight back with dignity.

Before the plaque of the Supervisory Division was finished, the emperor announced in the early court that the Special Inspection Division and the Special Supervisory Division had merged into the Supervisory Division, and that Chu Yao was the commander of the Supervisory Division.

As soon as the news came out, the regrets in the hearts of officials from all sides became even greater.

Originally, the Special Supervision Division and the Special Investigation Division had a lot of power, but now that the two divisions have merged, the power is even greater. If it is in the hands of one's own side, it will definitely be a big boost.

After that, Chu Yao also changed from being unattended and alienated and repulsed to being a target that all parties are vying to win over. Among them, the one with the biggest reaction was Prince Rong's Mansion.

Chu Yao quietly became the commander of the Supervision Department. The people in the palace were not happy because of his gaining power, but all of them looked dignified.

In the Rongxin Hall where the old princess Rong lived, the old prince, the old princess, the Rong Junwang couple, Chu Xuan couple, and Chu Zhao couple all gathered together.

"I heard that the third brother was the commander of the special supervision department before."

In the silence, Chu Zhao, the second son of Rong Jun Wang's son, was the first to speak out with a smile.

Hearing this, the old concubine's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, but the old prince didn't respond.

Ever since the request was made to pass on the title to the Queen of Rongjun, the old prince has never cared about anything else.

King Rong frowned, pursed his lips, and his face was a little ugly.

Chu Xuan, the eldest son of Rongjun Prince, and his wife Luo Yilan, all lowered their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

Chu Zhao's wife, Tang Shan, responded to her husband with a smile: "The third brother is really a real person who doesn't show his face. Both the Special Supervision Division and the Special Investigation Division were established when the emperor ascended the throne. After all these years, he hasn't revealed anything to us. , I don’t know in his heart, are we still a family?”

After hearing this, Princess Rong cast a sidelong glance at Tang Shan, and quickly looked at the old princess: "Mother, Brother Yao is of course a member of Prince Rong's mansion, and this cannot be changed by anyone."

The old concubine looked at Princess Rongjun, but said nothing.

Chu Zhao said again, "If the third brother is really in charge of the palace, how come he doesn't come back once in ten days and half a month?"

If in the past, Chu Zhao contradicted Princess Rongjun like this, the old princess would not be able to speak, but today, the old princess glanced at Chu Zhao and looked at Princess Rongjun: "It's really not good for Brother Yao not to return home for a long time. After a while, you will send a message to Brother Yao to let him come back to live in his residence."

Embarrassment flashed across Princess Rongjun's eyes. Although her son was born to her, she couldn't control him for a long time, but her mother-in-law had spoken, so she responded quickly: "Daughter-in-law, let someone pass the message."

The old concubine's complexion improved a bit, she picked up the tea bowl to hide the complicated eyes.

With so many people in the palace, the only one who can let the third grandson listen to a sentence or two is the Guan family.

At this moment, she also regrets that she shouldn't suppress the third grandson like that, which has caused him to be at odds with the Wangfu.

At this time, the servant girl notified Wu Biao, the manager, to come.

The old concubine cheered up and called someone in: "What's the matter?"

Wu Biao replied respectfully, "Duke Wen is here."

The old concubine knew what Wen Guogong was here for, and looked at Chu Xuan: "Brother Xuan, you can accompany Wen Guogong to the Supervision Department later."

Chu Xuan was silent for a while, then looked at the old concubine: "Grandma, it will only be counterproductive if I go."

The old concubine paused for a moment, then sighed and thumped her legs, she was forced to be helpless by her grandson!

King Rongjun saw him, and stood up: "Go, my king, I want to see if Chu Yao's rebellious and unfilial things don't even give me face!"

People from Wen Guogong's mansion have gone to the Supervision Department several times, not only did they not rescue Fourth Master Zhuang, they even failed to see Chu Yao's face.

Both Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao knew very well that since Chu Yao had made a move in public, he would not let it go lightly. Seeing that King Rong wanted to put pressure, Chu Xuan had a mocking look in his eyes and said nothing.

Chu Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth, but he wished that King Rong would hate Chu Yao, so he didn't speak in the end.

This time, with the king of Rong Jun, Wen Guogong met Fourth Master Zhuang, but the meeting place was the prison of the Special Supervisor.

Seeing fourth master Zhuang who was beaten all over, King Rongjun and Duke Wen were a little terrified.

"Nizi, you dare to use lynching indiscriminately!"

Chu Yao looked at King Rong coldly: "It seems that even the Zhuang family is more important to you than me."

"Lynching indiscriminately?"

Chu Yao picked up a red-hot soldering iron engraved with the word 'servant', and placed it on Fourth Master Zhuang's face.

"ah~"

Chu Yao looked at the screaming fourth master Zhuang expressionlessly, and said coldly: "The emperor has seen the evidence that Zhuang Wentong embezzled the army's salary privately, and the emperor has an order to exile Zhuang Wentong to the Liaodong army."

As he spoke, he looked at Wen Guogong.

"The First Prince managed to enter the court with great difficulty. If you provoke him like this, what do you think he will think of Duke Wen's Mansion?"

Wen Guogong's complexion changed drastically.

Chu Yao said that there was still something to do, and asked people to send Rongjun Wang and Wen Guogong out of the Supervision Department, no matter how dissatisfied Rongjun Wang was.

For Chu Yao, it's normal for people in the palace to be dissatisfied with him. If one day they suddenly treat him well, it must be something tricky.

At the end of March, a major event happened. Beiyan sent envoys to Beijing to seek peace.

Beiyan's envoy: "To show Beiyan's sincerity, Beiyan is willing to marry the eldest princess to the royal family of Chu, in order to seek the favor of Qin and Jin."

As soon as the news came out, there were mixed reactions from all parties.

The eldest princess of Beiyan is also responsible for the friendship between the two countries. The best way is for the emperor to bring her into the harem.

"Beiyan witchcraft is prevalent, and the mother clan of Beiyan's eldest princess has become Beiyan's first family by relying on witchcraft to eliminate dissidents."

The emperor listened to the words of the Lord Yang of Liangyi Hall, his eyes were a little dangerous, and he snorted coldly: "I knew that Beiyan had no good intentions."

Then, he frowned.

In recent years, Great Chu and Beiyan have fought continuously, and now that the treasury is empty, it is really not easy to continue fighting.

Beiyan's request for peace still has to go ahead.

However, Princess Beiyan is not allowed to enter the palace.

It was rumored in the palace that the emperor was unwilling to accept Princess Beiyan as his concubine, and all the princes were a little uneasy, especially the princes who had not yet had a regular wife.

If the emperor doesn't want Princess Beiyan, then only the prince can take over.
