A seventh prince wanted to stir up trouble, but he was warned before he could stir up trouble. At this point, the prince's position was as stable as Mount Tai, and no one without a long-sighted mind would dare to take that position.

Emperor Jingwen saw that the prince's ability to handle political affairs and his attitude towards his brothers were impeccable, and he was truly relieved.

Prince Fu's eldest son is already in his teens. Although he is not the eldest grandson of Emperor Jingwen, he has always been loved by him.

After King Fu's death, Emperor Jingwen demoted all these people to common people. Now they have moved to Huangzhuang, and their life is not bad. They can eat well, but don't expect to eat well.

At first, Emperor Jingwen was angry at Prince Fu, so he naturally didn't want to see Prince Fu's family live in peace.

But now that a few years have passed, Emperor Jingwen misses his grandchildren a little.

After all, those were just children, they had done nothing wrong, they just had a stupid father.

The prince arranged an informant in Chengqian Palace, so he naturally knew the emperor's mentality at this time.

For those people, the prince naturally had nothing to worry about.

King Fu's power was not strong to begin with. Since his death, those old tribes have long since been destroyed and divided up. Where is there any remnant?

What's more, some of Prince Fu's children are still underage and have been demoted to common people with no future. How can anyone be willing to be loyal?

Except for some old servants, there was really no one there.

The prince mentioned this matter to Xie Xiuwen, also wanting to ask him for advice.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

The prince frowned: "If it's just those nephews and nieces, it doesn't matter if they are alone, but they are just juniors, and it doesn't matter if the royal family pays to support them. But I'm afraid that as time goes by, I will feed these people's appetite. After all, King Fu's death , Gu is the biggest beneficiary, who can guarantee that King Fu’s children will not blame Gu?”

Xie Xiuwen nodded, this is the truth.

If it were you, you would feel uncomfortable.

In fact, not meeting each other from a distance is the best protection for these juniors.

But who makes the Holy Spirit like to recall the past now that he is old?

King Fu is dead, and those children from back then are innocent after all, and they are the grandsons of the Holy Emperor, so they cannot really be imprisoned in the Imperial Manor all the time.

In the final analysis, the Holy Spirit relented.

The longer time passes, the more the Holy Spirit becomes soft-hearted and misses those grandchildren more and more.

"Your Majesty is old, and it is not only King Fu who has Ziyi. Why did your Majesty suddenly remember them?"

The prince was shocked, it was his negligence.

It must be that King Fu still has some spies in Chengqian Palace. This is a different way to remind the Holy Emperor that his grandchildren are suffering outside the palace!

The prince slammed the table: "You are careless."

Xie Xiuwen shook his head: "It's not that big of a deal. The reason why the Holy One thinks of them is simply because they are older, want to enjoy their old age in peace, and would like to see a loving father and a filial son, with children and grandchildren around their knees. In this case, it might as well be The prince took the initiative to mention it, so as to give the saint a step up."

The prince frowned: "Teacher, do you mean to take them all back to the capital? Is this inappropriate?"

"Now that the Holy One is alive and well, whatever decision you make is just to make the Holy One happy and to put your mind at ease. If the Holy One mentions these people, Your Highness might as well be more generous and discuss the decree directly with the Holy One and let the eldest son of King Fu attack the county. Wang Jue, in this way, the wish of the Holy One can be fulfilled."

The prince was quite dissatisfied. A rebellious King Fu actually wanted to crown his descendants kings?

"It's one thing if you mention it, it's another thing if the Holy Spirit agrees with it or not."

An idea flashed in the prince's mind: "What does the teacher mean?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled and nodded without saying much.

In fact, Xie Xiuwen could guess that Emperor Jingwen had such thoughts, but as an emperor, he also knew how his son who wanted to seize the throne died, and his children who wanted to be rich and powerful in the royal family would always give way to Jingwen. Emperor Wen felt uncomfortable. To put it bluntly, this degree is difficult to grasp.

It won't work if you kiss her too close, and it won't work if you are too far away.

So Xie Xiuwen simply suggested to the prince that he should directly grant the title of county prince to Prince Fu's eldest son. In this case, the Holy Emperor would not be happy.

Sure enough, after Emperor Jingwen heard the report from the prince, he shook his head solemnly: "That's inappropriate! How can a rebellious minister's son be crowned king? It would be good if he could bring them back and let them live in peace. Prince, it's okay to be kind, but There must be no bottom line.”

"Yes, Father. Please bear this in mind."

So Emperor Jingwen issued a decree to bring all Prince Fu's family members back to the capital, and gave them additional servants in the palace, but the imperial army was still there.

In other words, when they return to the capital, their food and clothing are much better than when they were in Huangzhuang, but they still don't have the freedom they want.

This already made Princess Fu and the others very happy.

As long as they can return to the capital and perform well in the future, they believe they can always get some benefits.

The seventh prince has completely settled down, and the Qin family has been sentenced. Xie Xiuwen can finally feel relieved.

As for the Qin family in Xie Ronghui's house, as long as she stops being a monster and behaves herself, she will not be short of a bowl of rice in the future.

Two years later, Emperor Jingwen died, and Prince Li Heng ascended the throne, changing his reign name to Qingfeng.

Cheng Jingzhou was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Xie Ronlang was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel as the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Xie Ronghui was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Gong. He was still from the fifth rank, but he was promoted from the fifth rank, compared to the previous rank of Taichang Cheng, who was from the fifth rank.

The most important thing is that he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, which is a place with real power and more errands. He is much busier than before at Taichang Temple.

Emperor Qingfeng had three sons and four daughters at this time, two of whom were direct descendants of the empress of the middle palace, and the rest were concubines.

In the third year of Qingfeng's reign, a letter came from Gaoyang County, saying that Grandma Xie died of illness. Xie Xiuwen was in the political hall when he received the letter, and immediately went to see His Majesty and wanted to return to his hometown Dingyou.

Not only him, but also Xie Ronghui, Xie Ronlang, and Xie Rongen are going back to their hometown Dingyou.

According to the ancestral system, Xie Xiuwen is the parent and son and should observe the system for three years, which is twenty-seven months, while the grandchildren only need to observe the system for one year.

Emperor Qingfeng was just showing off his favor, so he felt that the old lady of the Xie family had gone there at the wrong time, but he was still allowed to go.

After all, this is filial piety.

Xie Rongzhao didn't feel sad when he learned that the old lady had passed away. Anyway, the old lady had disliked her since she was a child and even almost killed her several times.

But in front of others, she still had to look very sad, otherwise she would be criticized.

Xie Xiuwen led the entire army back to Dingyou's hometown. Xie Rongzhao was a married woman and did not have to observe filial piety, and Cheng Jingzhou was still in the capital.

Xie Xiuwen is now the most powerful official in the court, and a virtuous one at that. He has to return to his hometown to observe his filial piety, and he has been treated politely by many officials along the way.

I rushed along the way, but even so, it was already more than twenty days later when I arrived in Gaoyang County.

Fortunately, the weather was not hot at this time, and Xie Laosan got a lot of ice cubes to preserve the old lady's body. Otherwise, Xie Xiuwen would only see a grave when he came back.

As soon as Xie Xiuwen left, chaos began in the court.
