Chapter 358 156: Punishment and meritorious deeds
Zhao Jin first posthumously named his deceased father, Prince Duande, the emperor and his mother the empress, and then gave the posthumous title of Emperor Daxing.

Because the dead mother was named queen, then, the mother's natal family was granted the title of Marquis Chengen. When this decree reached the Lingfu, the family cried out of breath. After experiencing ups and downs, the family's talents withered, and the family has been very low-key since returning to Beijing from exile.

But with this decree, the Marquis of Cheng En's mansion instantly became crowded, and in the end, Marquis Cheng En ordered to close the gate of the mansion to thank the guests, and then they got peace. They were afraid of Rong Chong.

So in the thank you book for Zhao Jin, Cheng Enhou, who was obviously an elder, spoke in a humble way, and implicitly expressed that he had given enough honor and favor, and they would not be able to bear any more.

Zhao Jin just smiled after seeing it, his uncle was bitten by a snake once, and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

"Marquis Weiyuan approached Marquis Cheng En privately, but Marquis Cheng En found excuses not to attend the appointment, and even went to Zhuangzi." Si Gonggong reported to Zhao Jin in a low voice.

Zhao Jin knew in his heart that the Ling family didn't want to be involved in the battle for succession. After all, the lessons learned from the past were not far away, and they had fully learned the lessons.

"Since uncle wants to hide, let him hide completely."

Hearing this, the company immediately understood that this was to let Jin Yiwei intervene, and to prevent ambitious people like Marquis Wei Yuan from contacting Marquis Cheng En, it was also a disguised form of protection.

Just as the capital was discussing Ling's family, Zhao Jin's orders were made public one after another.

The seven princes of the false emperor were relegated to the title of emperor and demoted to common people. Because of the heinous crime of killing their father and king, they were given the death penalty, and their wives and children were given a glass of poisoned wine. No one in the family was spared.

The Seventh Prince and his wife in the imperial prison received the imperial edict, and the Seventh Prince's numb face showed signs of disintegration, while the Seventh Prince's concubine passed out, and the others couldn't help crying, but no matter how much they cried, they would inevitably die.

Although the third prince was killed by the false emperor and the seventh prince, but because he participated in the case of abolishing the prince, his crime is still unforgivable. He, his wife and children were all demoted to common people, and all the living people were exiled for three thousand miles.

The third concubine knew that such a day would come, so she was not surprised when she received the imperial decree, but she did not expect that the new king would be kind and spared their lives, and she knelt down to accept the decree with a heartbroken heart.

Now she can't wait to leave the capital. After all, her grandfather died because of her, and now her natal family has severed ties with her. She stays here only to leave her heartbroken. It's just suffering for her children. The hardships she hasn't experienced in half her life will be suffered in the future.

The sixth prince was also demoted to be a commoner, but instead of being exiled, he had to go to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb of the late emperor and never return.

When the decree arrived, the sixth prince respectfully knelt down and saluted to accept the decree. These days in the imperial prison had already worn away his fighting spirit, especially when he fell asleep, he would dream of his wife and children being shot to death on the city wall. When he woke up, his pillow was already wet with tears, so it was a kind of relief for him to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum of his late father.

The ending of the eighth prince and his wife was a little bit better. They were demoted to common people. At least they didn't need to be exiled or guard the mausoleum.

The best ending was as predicted by the people of the capital, because the fourth prince turned around in time and made a contribution to stopping the eighth prince's army, so he was granted the title of prince and titled King Kang.

The fourth concubine was renamed Concubine Kang from then on. The couple were so happy that they could not see their teeth. In addition to happily writing a letter of thanks, they also celebrated with a feast and banquet. Now they can finally relax and rest easy.

However, people in the capital also pay special attention to Marquis Wei Wu, who also committed the same crime. He is Chang Xi's biological father. I wonder if the new king will be lenient?
Of course, many voices felt that according to Zhao Jin's special treatment of Chang Xi, Mighty Marquis might come out of the imperial prison completely, and it was very likely that the title could still be kept. After all, Chang Xi had to save face, otherwise where would the empress's face go in the future?
It can only be said that there are good people who guessed right and some who didn’t. Marquis Mighty Wu did come out of the imperial prison, but he was stripped of all his official positions and demoted to a commoner. He was never hired, and the title was inherited by his son Han Rongyuan.

With this reward, the Han family was overjoyed. They thought that they would be satisfied with retaining the title of Marquis of Might, but who would have thought that they could earn another earl title?
Wei Shi was so happy that people threw a feast to celebrate, and set off strings of firecrackers, in short, to show happiness.

Seeing her husband come back disheartened, her face immediately sank, and then she gave instructions to the housekeeper.

The butler was surprised, "Madam, are you really going to do this?"

"Yeah." Wei Shi nodded, "Go, Master Hou, I'll tell you, I won't make it difficult for you."

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Don't dare, I'll do it now, little one."

Mrs. Han wiped her tears with joy when she saw her son come back safely. Although her son was demoted to a commoner, her grandson was still a mighty Marquis. How could he miss a bowl of food from his own father?So she doesn't worry much about her son's livelihood.

The son also sighed endlessly, and had to comfort his mother a few words.

At this moment, the housekeeper came with someone, and after seeing the ceremony, he said, "Madam has an order, please pack up your things and go live in Zhuangzi..."

"What? Why did she drive my son to Zhuangzi?" Mrs. Han got up angrily and protected her eldest son behind her.

Master Han said angrily, "Your wife really said that?"

"Yes, that's what Madam ordered." The steward has been serving the Han Mansion for so many years, and he has already learned how to use the wind. Now that the Wei family's mother and son are in power in the mighty Marquis Mansion, he can only stare at the old lord, "Madam also said that if the old Madam stops me, then we will go live with the Grand Master to Zhuangzi together."

"How dare Wei Shi?" Mrs. Han was startled and angry. She also knew that her time had passed. Not to mention that Wei Shi's attitude towards her had changed drastically, other sons and daughters-in-law were also flattering Wei Shi's mother and son. How could anyone come to her side?The coldness of the world is vividly reflected among relatives. Although she feels chilled, she is not really cold.

But Wei's heart was really cold even if she rushed to Zhuangzi.

"I won't go." Master Han immediately waved his sleeves to refuse, and then he said arrogantly as before, "You let Wei Shi come to see me, but I want to ask her why? Our husband and wife are one body, she wants to drive me to Zhuangzi, there is no way!"

The housekeeper wanted to laugh when he heard this. Mr. Han was demoted to a commoner, but Wei's order is still there. The new king obviously only pursued Mr. Han's crimes. It seems that the wife was right. If Mr. Han didn't cooperate, he would forcefully implement it. So he directly ordered someone to hold Mr. Han and drag him outside.

Mrs. Han stepped forward angrily to stop, "Who dares to drag the old man away? Just step over the old man's body."

The housekeeper didn't stop doing anything, and directly ordered the maid to hold Mrs. Han hostage, and then asked the maid to pack up the old lady's daily necessities and go to Zhuangzi together.

Now Mrs. Han was so frightened that her expression changed. She didn't expect that these servants would not listen to her orders now, and they had obviously become Wei's lackeys, so she was kidnapped and scolded all the way.

I met the second daughter-in-law and granddaughter on the way, who knew that the second daughter-in-law took the granddaughter and turned around directly. She didn't want to see Mrs. Han and Wei's sister-in-law. She obviously didn't want to have a dispute with Mrs. Wei. In the future, their second wife would have to rely on the support of the eldest family to live a good life. She was stupid to help Mrs. Han, that old godmother.

"The second family's..."

The more Mrs. Han shouted, the faster the second daughter-in-law ran.

Now, Mrs. Han was desperate, she didn't struggle any more and let the servant hold her into the carriage, and seeing her eldest son being pushed in, both mother and son were terrified.

"This group of lackeys, when I turn over one day, I will definitely make them look good."

For her son's harsh scolding, Mrs. Han rarely did not agree. She knew in her heart that the scolding was just psychological comfort. How could her eldest son have a chance to turn around?Unless there is another new king, is this possible?
"Forget it, stop scolding, save your energy."

Hearing his mother's weak voice, Mr. Han just felt aggrieved and panicked. He didn't know how he became what he is today?
"Let's do this first. Later, I'll write a letter to your uncle and ask him to come over and make peace. When your wife's anger subsides, maybe you will let us come back." Mrs. Han comforted herself.

Mr. Han remained silent. He has been husband and wife with Wei for so many years, and he knows how stubborn she is. It would be very difficult to persuade her to change her mind, but he was afraid that if he continued to speak, his mother would become even more desperate.

Chang Xi rushed back from the suburbs of Beijing to attend her family's banquet, and when she heard that Wei had driven Mrs. Han's mother and son to Zhuangzi, she immediately looked at Wei with admiration. She didn't expect her to have such courage, which was really unexpected.

Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Really don't care?"

"Sister-in-law, how can we juniors care so much about the decision made by mother?" She stretched out her hand and squeezed Jiang Shi's hand. Without Mrs. Han in this house, the house will be much cleaner, at least Wei Shi will feel at ease.

Seeing that Chang Xi's rhetoric was exactly the same as her husband's, the Wei family put the matter aside. After all, she didn't have much relationship with this grandmother and father-in-law, so how could she really care about them?

The running water mat in the mighty Marquis Mansion was held for three days in a row, and it was a very high-profile show.

The punishment that should be punished, the reward for meritorious deeds, the sad and happy events in the capital one after another, I thought that the imperial decree to make Chang Xi the empress would come, but who knew that this decree did not come for a long time, which surprised many people.

There was a lot of discussion in private, but they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Xinjun's gourd?Mo Feixi's post position is still uncertain?

This made the three factions that had jumped quite high to fight for the back position start to move around again, and they wanted to fight again if they didn't give up.

The censor approached to understand the lobbying of the fourth master.
