Chapter 585

Shangguanyuan didn't stay in Marquis Wuding's mansion for long that day, but she received the news the next day. After much deliberation, her mother was still worried about her father and decided to follow Shangguan to the post.

This news put Shangguan Yuan in a good mood all day.

And Shangguanyuan also kept his promise to his son. He packed up his simple luggage and set off immediately with two servants without revealing a word to his family.

The day he set off did not attract too many people's attention, because the DPRK and China were making a fuss.

On this day, according to Xiao Jingheng's previous suggestion, the emperor drafted an edict and appointed the governor of Qingzhou and the governor of the county, which caused an uproar in the court.

Especially Chen Chengxiang, he could hardly believe that the faction of the prime minister had failed in the division of power in Qingzhou.

Officials from the prime minister's line naturally refused to accept such a list of appointments, but Lin Taiwei and Su Dashi didn't have much dissatisfaction, so they came and went again and again, and the court was noisy again.

The emperor was not in a hurry, after they had quarreled for a while, as if watching the excitement was not a big deal, he issued another imperial decree, and this imperial decree even poured a ladle of hot water into the oil pan, making The courtiers were even more restless.

The emperor demoted Liu Shangshu of the household department, and promoted Lu Shilang to be the household secretary.

All of a sudden, not only Chen Chengxiang's face turned dark, but even Lin Taiwei was so angry that his liver hurt, and only Master Su, who was very close to the Lu family, looked good.

The Su family and the Lu family originally intended to marry each other, and Lu Shilang was promoted to Shangshu, and the Su University scholar was happy to see it happen.

But Lin Taiwei and Chen Chengxiang didn't think so.

There have long been rumors that the emperor was dissatisfied with Liu Shangshu in the court, and the two of them have been eyeing this position for a long time. These days, they have been planning and competing in the court for a long time, but they did not expect that Lu Shilang would pick the peaches. How can people not gas?

Besides, Hubu Shangshu is such an important position. For Lin Taiwei and Chen Chengxiang, if they can't hold it firmly in their own hands, then Liu Shangshu is acceptable.

The bad thing is that the new servant Lu is an official of the Su faction. No one thought that the servant of the household department would be pinched by Su Ping.

Ok!That's right!Not only the courtiers, but even the emperor thought that Lu Shangshu and the Su family were on the same side, and no one knew that he was actually a pro-party of the Crown Princess.

The post of Minister of the Household Department was left behind, which made Chen Chengxiang even more angry. Qingzhou had no harvest, and the position of Minister of the Household Department was not obtained. Bai is in the middle of the court!
Chen Chengxiang squinted at the emperor sitting on the throne, his heart sank suddenly.With regard to the matter in Qingzhou, he never suspected that there was something wrong with his grandson, but directly attributed it to the emperor's suppression of the prime minister's line.

And Chen Qiyu, who was far away in Qingzhou, received another urgent secret letter from Prime Minister Chen a few days later and learned that the so-called "explanation" he had prepared in advance was actually no longer needed.

When Chen Qiyu received the secret letter from his family, Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing had also received news from Beijing, and learned that the new Qingzhou officials had already set off one after another, and among them Shangguanzhou Mu, who was the first to leave Beijing, should be able to arrive in Qingzhou within a few days .

Shangguan Jing browsed through the imperial decree and rubbed the center of her brows with a headache: "Officials above the fourth rank will be escorted to Beijing, and the rest will be disposed of on the spot. Even so, there are still many criminals to be escorted."

"Fortunately, he knew to send another person over." Xiao Jingheng snorted coldly: "Otherwise, we can't guarantee that there will be no accidents along the way just with the Jinwu Guards we brought."

That's right, in addition to many prisoners who need to be escorted, there are also those confiscated properties in Qingzhou that need to be escorted to Beijing. The liquidation of the assets of the Wu family and Zhou Mu has been completed, and the confiscation of the assets of the rest of the prisoners is also gradually ending.

The Wu family can be said to be as rich as an enemy. As far as his family's assets are concerned, it is equivalent to the total revenue of the treasury in the four years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.A total of eighty red gold ingots weighing 1000 taels were copied out, and they were just gold and silver.

Not counting fields, real estate, cultural relics, jewelry and rare artifacts.

After Shangguan Jing read the thick list of assets, she deeply doubted whether Wu's private treasury was richer than the emperor's imperial treasury.

With such a large amount of assets, even the registration and liquidation is a very heavy workload. The officials from the Ministry of Households who came to support them have not yet arrived. It took [-] full days of work before the Wu family's assets were counted.

She is so busy these days that her dark circles are about to come out.

On the other hand, Xiao Jingheng was in high spirits every day, and he was even in the mood to go to Wu's house to help check the assets. He didn't care about others. He went to see Wenwan jewelry and rare artifacts, and made a private list for him. Shangguan Jing.

"Why?" Shangguan gave him a quiet look: "All of them will go into the national treasury. Could it be that you want to hide something secretly?"

"How come." Xiao Jingheng smiled and put his arms around his daughter-in-law: "After the household department counts and puts it in the warehouse, it's good to go to the father and emperor to ask for it. Why hide it. The Wu family is indeed rich, and they copied a lot. I have written down all the priceless jewels. Especially a golden phoenix hairpin with silk that has been carefully kept. The craftsmanship is very fine and lifelike. The golden phoenix feathers are thinner than hair. I will come over and wear them for you later. "

"Your father has three palaces and six courtyards, so why give you all the good jewelry you copied." Shangguan gave Xiao Jingheng a quiet look: "He must keep such good things to please my elder sister."

"As long as it is something I like, it is already a property of our East Palace's private treasury." Xiao Jingheng sneered: "It doesn't matter if he wants to keep it for anyone."

"Look," Shangguanjing poked Xiao Jingheng's forehead jokingly: "Tiantian manages the back house, the layout is small, right? Qingzhou is overturned, and people are busy thinking about big interests, political interests, or land assets, but you keep your eyes on it." Little jewelry."

"No matter how big or small, I want it." Xiao Jingheng kissed Shangguanjing, and replied with a smile: "There is no delay in both. Isn't it just right for a crown princess who sells officials to accompany a greedy crown prince?"

"It's not important, let's talk about it later." Shangguan smiled and shook his head: "Find a day, and first publicly deal with Zheng Qixiu and Wu Wenyuan in front of the people of Qingzhou, so as to give an explanation to the girls who were victimized. Wait for the second uncle After we arrive, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible. I don't feel relieved to leave the collusion between the Wu family and the Shangyi Bureau to my cousin. If Empress Chen finds out..."

"You underestimate my cousin too." Xiao Jingheng hugged Shangguanjing to his lap and shook it like coaxing a child: "There is my aunt standing behind my cousin! Don't worry, he is very shrewd and won't It’s easy to startle the snake. I thought, when the Qingzhou matter is over, the two of us will find time to go around the surrounding state capitals. Let Qu Jingwu go first with the criminals and confiscated assets.”

 ---Here is the dividing line for the prince to seize the house--
  Hengheng: Ah!The Wu family really has good things, this one is good, keep it for the daughter-in-law, that one is good, the daughter-in-law is just right, those are also good, very suitable for my daughter-in-law, these are my wife's things, no one is allowed to touch them, they are all listed in the list , Turn around and wait until I enter Beijing and enter the warehouse, and then I will go to my father to get it back.

  The subordinate official who helped to register: Why did you take off your pants and fart, and asked us to register one more time, please?Can't you just take what you want?Anyway, the only prince is you, and no one cares about you.

  Hengheng: That’s not acceptable!My wife has educated me to obey the law, so I still have to go to the household department first, and then I will go to get it back, and I still have to go through the legal process.
