Hidden golden branches

Ji Yuxian felt relaxed, and then had lunch in the political cabinet of the palace with a group of ministers who were busy with the case, before leaving the palace and going back to rest.

After leaving the palace gate, when he saw Qingfeng wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, he didn't forget to ask: "Have you sent the gift to the county master?"

Qingfeng handed the horse's reins to Ji Yuxian and said, "Master, don't worry, I will deliver it to the Chen Mansion in person and hand it over to Song Lin, the county lord's attendant."

Ji Yuxian originally wanted to ask Chen Rong if she was happy to see the gift.

After hearing Qingfeng's report, he knew that he had not seen Chen Rong.

Forget it, I'll go wash up later and then go to Chen's house to see her and relieve my lovesickness.

Ji Yuxian got on his horse and drove towards Chang'an Street.

Mingyue, who stayed in the palace with Ji Yuxian, grinned at the breeze, and could not suppress the smile on her handsome and fair face: "Brother, did you know? Our prince has been promoted, to the minister of Dali Temple!"

"Ah? Really?" The round-faced Qingfeng looked incredulous.

Mingyue glanced at him and said: "Hey, with our prince's ability, is it strange that he is promoted?" After Mingyue finished speaking, she stopped talking to him and sat on the horse, pulling up the reins with her left hand and whipping the whip with her right hand, "Drive! "Following behind Ji Yuxian.

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then hurried over with his whip raised.

It turned out that Xiao Xuan saw the regulations in Dali Temple, and Long Yan was furious. Before the hunting was over, he immediately led his ministers back to the capital.

In the end, although the eldest prince Xiao Jinyu's people, Wang Jue, the minister of official affairs, and Yang Honglin, the cabinet minister, came out to take the blame.

This Wang Jue is the father of Xiao Jinyu's concubine and can also be regarded as his father-in-law.

His wife is the granddaughter of Yu Youren, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Yu Youren is an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for decades. Unlike Wang Jue, he is a fool who cannot see the situation clearly. He will die if he dies, which will bring trouble to his family. A lot of people, old and young, were exiled.

Not to mention being emperors, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that these two people were from Jiang Bacheng, Xiao Jinyu's maternal uncle, Zhongyinghou General Secretary.

It’s unclear whether these two people are here to take the blame!

It's just that the emperor's eldest son Xiao Jinyu has not yet committed the crime of treason, and the emperor also wants to let him go. After all, they are his own flesh and blood.

However, the sins of those who follow him are unforgivable!

The first person to bear the brunt was his mother-in-law Jiang Bacheng. Jiang Bacheng was not to blame and was deprived of the title of marquis by the emperor.

From then on, there were no loyal marquises in the Wei Dynasty. Yes, but his surname is not Jiang.

Concubine Jiang Shu in the harem was also demoted to the rank of concubine, from the first-class concubine to the concubine of the third-class concubine.

Even so, the emperor did not spare Xiao Jinyu lightly.

The emperor was furious and ordered Xiao Jinyu to leave the capital and return to his fiefdom within seven days.

It's such a rush to ask a prince to move within seven days. Not to mention the prince, even ordinary officials need ten days and a half to prepare for moving.

He also ordered the prefect of Quzhou Prefecture in the fiefdom where Xiao Jinyu was located to strictly monitor Xiao Jinyu's words and deeds.

This is a rare thing for a prince to do in his own fiefdom.

Originally, when the prince went to a fiefdom, almost all the local officials there were under his control.

Now it's the other way around

Xiao Jinyu was upset. First of all, he was the eldest son of the emperor, and his mother's concubine was the concubine Shu, who had a high rank. Secondly, my mother-in-law is also the very powerful Zhongyinghou Tongzhengsi Jiang Bacheng.

Why can't he become the crown prince and the prince?

Xiao Xuan established Xiao Jinrui, the fifth son of the emperor, as the crown prince, which was the last straw to break Xiao Jinyu's illusions. If you want to succeed, you must have money as a backing.

Then, selling poppy powder is the fastest way to make money.

Fortunately, Ji Yuxian discovered it early and nipped it in the bud.

Otherwise, when the situation develops into an uncontrollable situation, I am afraid that Xiao Jinyu will not be so free and can go to his fief intact. It is estimated that either his head was on the ground or he was imprisoned and not allowed to leave the house for life.

The other accomplices are not as simple as being cut off from their posts. They should be guilty of genocide!

In fact, Xiao Jinyu didn't want to think that he was already in his early twenties, and his father had just reached a strong age and was in good health. Needless to say, it is impossible to meet the late emperor after staying on the throne for less than twenty years.

It is impossible for the emperor to keep an old son like you by his side and keep an eye on his throne.

Needless to say, the hero this time was Ji Yuxian, who was naturally promoted to become the youngest minister of Dali Temple.

The original minister of Dali Temple, Zhang Juzheng, was transferred to the rank of Minister of General Affairs, while Jiang Bacheng not only lost his title, but also his official position was reduced from the third rank of General Affairs Secretary to the fourth rank of Minister of Honglu Temple.

The minister of Honglu Temple was in charge of paying tribute, banquets, gifts and greetings from all the barbarians, as well as the country's ominous rituals, temples in Zhongdu, and Taoist books and accounts. He could be said to be an ancient diplomat.

The emperor didn't fuck him to the end. This was because of Jiang Bicheng's past achievements.

As for Gu Fei, he will be executed in three days.

The Gu family was exiled to a barbaric place four thousand miles away from the capital - Taierta in the northwest.

Originally, Gu Liwan thought of abandoning his eldest son, Gu Fei, just so that his beloved second son, Gu Wei, could become the heir apparent.

Now it's better, not only the whole family is exiled in the wilderness. Moreover, the three generations of the Gu family are not allowed to take the imperial examination.

It was originally a prosperous family flourishing with flames and flowers, but in the end, it fell into such a desperate situation.

After falling into such a miserable situation, he couldn't blame anyone. Who told Gu Liwan to pamper his concubine and destroy his wife?

Who told him to open his eyes and see his stepwife killing his ex-wife's son?

Therefore, Gu Fei's case also served as a warning to those courtiers who lost their first wives and married step-brothers. You must not be partial and raise your son in a wrong way. In this way, one person commits a crime and brings down the whole family.

As for Xu Xinyuan, the young minister of Taichang Temple, he was dismissed from his post by the emperor because he was not strict in educating his children. The troubled young son Xu Pengcheng was exiled to Taierta in the northwest along with the Gu family and was never allowed to return to Beijing.

Anyone involved in Gu Fei's case will receive the punishment they deserve and will not end well.

Besides, Chen Rong opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the preserved fruit shop in front of him. He quickly told Song Lin to ask him to go to the preserved fruit shop in front of him for you.

When they arrived at the place, Chen Rong got off the carriage with Zhuo'er's help. Ling'er held the jade bone umbrella in her hand and walked to the preserved fruit shop. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhang Xiuxi accompanying a man wearing a green skirt. , a girl with her hair parted in a bun was choosing to buy some candied fruits.

"Cousin, we've been out for a long time, it's time to go back." There was a hint of tolerance in Zhang Xiuxi's tone, but her words were very polite.

"My aunt said that you and I should get to know each other more. I just went out today and you shouted to go back several times. What I know is that my cousin is tired of getting along with me. But those who don't know think that you are an unhappy mother-in-law. Where's the mother?" The girl in Tsing Yi smiled and looked innocent, but what she said was full of guns and sticks.

Chen Rong watched with cold eyes. Now when he saw Zhang Xiuxi and the girl in green, he only thought that this was much more interesting than the scene where a scholar climbed over a wall to meet a beautiful woman.

No matter how much the emperor disliked his son, he would not kill him. You can only follow his lead and accept your misfortune.
