home in the end

Chapter 144
Uncle Yongchang was so angry that he smashed the teacup to the ground, "Did Fu Guogong put the emperor in his eyes? How dare he incite so many people to impeach Marquis Changping and push the emperor to such a point? It's simply... outrageous !"

Tao Siyan, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at his angry father, and slandered in his heart, "Obviously you were the one who ordered the impeachment of Marquis Changping, but now the people of the Li family have made things worse, and you just say that the people of the Li family are rebellious. What are we?"

He also thought about it in his heart, and persuaded him: "Father, I think it's better to find someone to defend Chang Ping Hou, otherwise this matter will really be a big deal if this matter continues. You are not unreasonable about Hou Jingzhi's methods." Know?"

When Uncle Yongchang thought of Changpinghou's ruthless methods, he also shuddered in his heart, but when he thought that he was going to arrange for someone to break the situation he had finally set up, his heart sank like a mountain was pressed down, and his heart was against Changping. Hou couldn't wait even more.

He thought that if he lured Hou Jingzhi away and made some more troubles, even if Duke Fu was not in a hurry, he would definitely be too busy to take care of himself. At that time, the fifth prince would definitely not help Marquis Changping because of his relationship with the crown prince, who was weak and sick. Even interceding for Marquis Changping is limited, and the emperor has made up his mind to attack the Hou family... Who would have thought that Li Xuanran, who usually looks silent, acted so insidiously, before he came to his senses At that time, on the one hand, the story of Hou Jingzhi saving his mother had spread among the people, on the other hand, Li Xuanran asked Yushi to impeach Chang Pinghou in the court hall, and later he even impeached one person as soon as he was caught. The officials had no scruples at all. It made the court hall a mess now!
If the prince hadn't suddenly wanted to marry the Kou family, how could they have found so many officials at once?
Tao Siyan saw that his father's face was livid, and he knew that he was dissatisfied. He also knew that it would be difficult to change his father's decision, so he stopped persuading him and just reminded: "Father, don't forget that back then Li Xuanran and Hou Jingzhi were twins in the capital. Ba, I have also played with them. Hou Jingzhi's ideas are mostly aboveboard, but Li Xuanran likes to play tricks. Although he has rarely seen each other in the past few years, he has also followed Hou Jingshang on the battlefield, traveling all over the world. It used to be bad."

Uncle Yongchang's face was even more ugly.

After thinking about it for most of the night, Uncle Yongchang called his men the next day and wrote a letter to defend Changpinghou.

The fifth prince has the support of the queen, and there are several families behind the queen, and behind the prince are the four families of Hou, Li, and Hankou. The emperor's favor... This time the Tao family solved the emperor's worries and problems, and the emperor saw it in his eyes... Whether the crown prince will be established or abandoned, the emperor has the final say!

……

But at this time, the emperor was so angry that his beard was about to turn up. He didn't expect that he had only been in court for a few days, and he had left the memorial unused for a few days, and the court would be turned upside down.

With a gloomy face, he asked the eunuch accompanying him, "Where's the queen?"

"The queen is in the imperial garden."

The emperor frowned slightly, "Why are you in the Imperial Garden at this time?"

The eunuch carefully glanced at the emperor, and said softly: "The Ou family sent Concubine Ou a pot of chrysanthemums, and Concubine Ou invited the empress to enjoy the flowers."

The emperor caressed the memorial on the table, thinking hard, "Are the queen and Concubine Ou happy?"

The eunuch's palms were sweating, his legs were trembling slightly, but he replied in a steady voice: "The empress is virtuous and generous, Concubine Ou Gui is brilliant and gets along well. The ladies in the palace set this as an example, and the people outside also praise her."

The emperor smiled sarcastically: "Really?"

The eunuch was not sure what the emperor meant, so he only replied vaguely. The emperor didn't care too much, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and see what the chrysanthemums look like in May? How dare the empress and Concubine Ou Gui like this?" joy?"

……

In Yuweizhai in the capital, Liang Hongji asked the servant with a gloomy expression, "...Are you sure Master Ji said so?"

The boy replied in frustration, "Yes."

Liang Hongji's face became even more ugly. After sitting for a while, he got up and said, "Go and pay the bill, let's go back."

The boy let out a sigh of relief and hurried out.

When Liang Hongji walked to the stairs, he heard someone behind him shouting, "Master Liang?"

Liang Hongji looked back, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Luo, the chief envoy of Shandong, and Mr. Luo also came to Beijing to report on his duties?"

"That's right," Lord Luo smiled, and stepped aside, revealing Min Shaoyi behind him, and introduced them to them.

As soon as Liang Hongji heard that Min Shaoyi was a fourth-rank Shao Zhanshi, his eyes lit up as he walked in the inner hall, and he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.

When Min Shaoyi heard that Liang Hongji came from Zhongli Liang's family, he thought of Liang Yilin. He checked Liang Yilin, and he was also from Zhongli Liang's family, but it was a side branch.

Min Shaoyi wanted to know about Liang Yilin and Zhongli's Liang family, but Liang Hongji had something to ask for, and the two hit it off immediately and had a very happy chat.

When Liang Hongji came out of Yuweizhai again, Master Luo was standing beside him. Liang Hongji complained with a sad face, "...it has been so many days since I have been in the capital, but I haven't heard any news from the official department. What way?"

Master Luo remembered Min Shaoyi's hint, so he said with a bitter face: "The chaos in the court is like this now..." He looked around, approached Liang Hongji and said, "The Marquis of Changping privately mobilized the soldiers and horses of the five cities to save his mother." People from the Hou family even dispatched the military households of the Hou family in the north. Now the memorials to impeach Chang Pinghou are all piled up on the emperor's table, and the people in the six departments are all overwhelmed. Inviting Master Min to come here is to ask him for help, but Master Min has grown up as a young man and has a wealthy family, so how can I help you?"

Liang Hongji's heart was shaken. Mr. Luo is the chief envoy of Shandong Province. Although he is a little older, his official position is higher than that of Min Shaoyi, but he is so humble in front of Min Shaoyi. Min Shaoyi is 30 years old. It is impossible to be a Shao Zhanshi and still be able to walk in the inner hall without anyone behind you.

He frowned just thinking about the slap in the face of Min Shaoyi at the banquet just now, although Zhong Liliang's family is not as good as before, but not everyone can bully him, he is also a man who has become a master in the officialdom, Naturally, he sensed that Min Shaoyi had other purposes.

For the family to prosper, the most important thing is to unite as one. Although he is not very smart in being an official, he still knows the most basic things. Decades ago, the Liang family almost fell apart in order to fight for the family property. Such a mistake must not be repeated. secondary.He is over 40 years old, even if he can't be promoted, he can always be transferred at the same level, right?

Seeing that Liang Hongji was silent, Master Luo thought he was thinking about it, so he added another sentence, "I heard that there is also a Master Liang in the household department, who is also from Zhongli Liang's family. I wonder if Master Liang has visited?"

Liang Hongji didn't expect this, didn't he hear that anyone in the family is an official in Beijing?

Master Luo smiled slightly and said, "Master Xiaoliang is a second-class Jinshi in the current department. After the palace examination, he found a position in the household department Zuowei. Master Liang might as well look for him. By the way, his name is Liang Yilin."

Liang Hongji's face changed slightly. Although this position in the matter is an official of the seventh rank, it can read almost all the documents in the department, and can also directly write letters to the emperor and show his face in front of the emperor. This position is either an achievement Excellent people are either obtained by people with strong backgrounds, and this Liang Yilin...

Liang Hongji frowned in doubt. The "Yi" generation is a generation younger than him, but I haven't heard of anyone in the family who went to Beijing this year to catch up for the exam?

Master Luo clicked to the end, bid farewell to Liang Hongji and left.

Liang Hongji immediately asked the boy to inquire about Liang Yilin, "...you have to inquire carefully about it."

The servant took the lead.

……

Within two days, the servant found out clearly, and talked about Liang Yilin's childhood, the more he talked about Liang Hongji's face, the more ugly he became, "...to open another ancestral hall and betray the family for such a little personal grievance Outrageous!"

The servant stood aside and dared not speak.

At the same time, Marquis Changping rescued Mrs. Hou, and news of his return to Beijing soon spread to the capital.

After hearing this, the old monk of the Shangge breathed a sigh of relief but looked at each other worriedly.

However, Liang Yilin, Zheng Jue and the others excitedly asked the family servants to go out of the city to guard, and they would report back as soon as they saw the team.

As for Li Xuanran, he didn't raise his eyelids when he heard about it, he just waved his hands to make people leave, and threw a memorial to Mr. Zhao, saying, "Auntie must have been running around a lot these days, let's find something for them Do it, so that they don't have to go to the trouble of aunt, and let her run around on the road again."

Mr. Zhao opened the memorial and asked with a strange expression on his face, "Does the Marquis know about this?"

Li Xuanran opened the fan with a "swish", covered his mouth and smiled, "Of course it's... I don't know!"

Mr. Zhao returned the memorial to him, got up and straightened his clothes, and said: "I heard that Baiyun Temple has a beautiful scenery, I plan to go there to fast for a period of time, and pray for the old lady and Lord Hou. You are always responsible for the affairs of Beijing. It's up to you, it shouldn't matter if I leave for a while."

Then he left.

Li Xuanran closed his fan, gloated and said, "You think Hou Yunping is so easy to deceive, if you want to be unlucky, of course it would be better to be together, this memorial will be in your name."

……

In the East Palace, Taifu Han walked a few steps quickly, and finally turned his head to look at the prince firmly, and said, "Your Highness, we can no longer take care of this matter. Your health is not good, so you should take good care of it."

The prince's face was pale, "Father is still obsessed with his obsession, I'm afraid there will be another disturbance when my little uncle comes back, and he is my father, I can't ignore him."

Taifu Han said anxiously: "Your Highness, your support comes from the emperor and Marquis Changping. The emperor also has several princes, but the Marquis of Changping only recognizes you as the prince, and the Li family and the Kou family stand on the side of the prince. Because of Marquis Changping...you can no longer lose Marquis Changping's support!"

The prince's face became even paler. He suddenly felt resentful towards the queen mother. She could easily do these things. Why didn't she help the emperor or the little uncle?

The prince still knows about the emperor's visit to the queen two days ago.

　Ah, I can finally sleep. The happiest thing in the world is to sleep peacefully without any debts!
