Chapter 158
"Okay, I'll go back now. Even if the Tang family is wiped out, the Hou Mansion will not be affected. Don't worry, sister."

Mrs. Tang got up and walked out. The sisters who had been for many years, at the moment of life and death, were completely shattered because of their interests.

Mrs. Weiyuanhou wanted to catch up, but she stopped in the end. After a moment of hesitation, she ordered, "Go to the study."

Didn't they know that the study room was smashed by the furious Marquis Weiyuan like a typhoon passing through.

"Rebel! Rebel!"

Marquis Weiyuan slammed the inkstone in his hand, "If I had known today, I shouldn't have let him take on this errand in the first place! Disaster is imminent!"

The two guests didn't know what happened, they carefully avoided it for a while, and finally found a chance to ask, "Master Hou, what happened?"

Marquis Weiyuan blurted out to speak, but closed his mouth just in time.

He picked up the letter paper in his hand, read it carefully again, his chest heaved violently for a while, but he waved his hand away.

"You guys go down, it's okay."

The two Qingke looked at each other, and when they were about to leave, Madam Weiyuanhou arrived.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

"What else can it be? Look at your wonderful son!"

Marquis Weiyuan raised his hand and threw a teacup over. Mrs. Marquis Weiyuan obviously couldn't reach out her hand as swiftly as the two clearers, she couldn't dodge it, she hit her forehead and immediately fell to the ground, the two servant girls screamed in panic and stepped forward to help.

The two cleaners rubbed their feet with oil, and quickly left the study...

"Oh, it hurts me to death! Wei Kui, why are you so crazy that you hit me?"

Marquis Weiyuan wiped the blood from her head, she was so annoyed that she couldn't care about anything else, she came from a famous family, married to the Hou's mansion even if she was infertile for seven years, the rest of the women did not have one and a half daughters left, and finally gave birth to a son, He directly occupied the position of the eldest son, and then allowed the Hou family to produce two concubine sons and one concubine daughter, which can be said to be a great means.Now that she was suddenly beaten, no matter how good her patience was, it broke out!
"Why did you hit you? Look at your good son! Let him lead troops to patrol the Northland, but he ended up eating, drinking and having fun all the way, and now he has caused even more trouble!"

Marquis Weiyuan had bruised veins on the back of his hand, and when he thought of those two words in the letter, he felt extremely anxious.

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou was not to be outdone, she sat on the ground and began to cry and curse, "Wei Kui, don't say you don't know what your son looks like? If you didn't insist on asking for some order to let your son go to the cold, he would be fine in the capital." What mistakes can I make here? It’s all yours, it’s all your fault! Besides, my son didn’t delay in making mistakes, what’s wrong with just eating, drinking and having fun? The barbarians are calling? Did you delay the opportunity to fight?”

Women's mouths are powerful, no matter how well-bred the people of Weiyuan Houfu are, they won't give in when husbands and wives quarrel.

Marquis Weiyuan was so bullied that he almost choked back his breath. Several servant girls wanted to comfort him, but they were afraid of getting hurt, so they all pushed down the door like quails.

Marquis Weiyuan waved his hand to push people away, and finally said in a low voice, "Your good son has caused a big disaster in the north!"

"What's wrong? My son was injured?"

Marquis Weiyuan originally wanted to break up with his old wife, but when she heard that she only cared about her son's safety and didn't care about the overall situation of the whole Marquis's mansion, she didn't bother to speak again, turned around and walked out in big strides.

Madam Weiyuan Hou got up and asked, "Master Hou, what happened?"

Marquis Weiyuan ignored it at all and hurried into the palace.

In Yangxing Pavilion, Emperor Chengde sneered and threw away the report in his hand, motioning for Eunuch Lu to pass it on to several elders.

The elders of the pavilion frowned after reading it. They intended to send a useful young general to the north to inspect the errand.Although it is impossible for the barbarians on the White Grassland to send troops to harass the border in such a cold climate, more investigation will always be beneficial for the deployment next spring.

However, Marquis Weiyuan had the cheek to ask for this job for his son, and they couldn't stop them too much.After all, every family has a few nephews who are useless, and everyone wants to take care of them. This is human nature.

It's just that the son of Marquis Weiyuan really couldn't support the wall with mud, so he wasted the painstaking efforts of Marquis Weiyuan.Not to mention the delay in rushing, the state capital along the way was full of complaints, and now he is still ill in Bei'an Prefecture.From this point of view, if we don't punish him, all future generations will follow suit. If things go on like this, Dayuan will be in danger.

Several pavilion elders looked at each other, but they didn't ask for mercy.

At this time, the little eunuch outside the door reported, "Your Majesty, Marquis Weiyuan is asking to see you."

"Let him roll in!"

Marquis Weiyuan's face was pale, and he knelt down as soon as he got up the steps. He walked all the way to the main hall, and immediately kowtowed his head to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, the minister is not strict in teaching his son, and he is guilty of the grace of God, and he will be punished with death!"

"Wei Kui, you should be glad that it's not a time of war, otherwise you, a rebellious son, will be condemned to death!"

Emperor Chengde slammed the memorial in front of him, and said angrily, "I ordered him to go to the north to inspect. Could it be that I sent him to study? It's more pleasant than my travel?"

"Your Majesty forgive me, I dare not!"

Marquis Weiyuan buried his head deeply on the ground, and the shiny gold bricks revealed the complexity and resentment in his eyes.The emperor didn't know what was going on, no matter how angry he was, he would be fined and demoted, but another future emperor might be the real death penalty.

Sure enough, Emperor Chengde cursed a few words, and then directly called the eunuch to make an order that Marquis Weiyuan deposed Marquis as Boss, and closed his doors to think about it for a month.

Several elders stood up, "Your Majesty is merciful."

Only Marquis Weiyuan felt bitter, and after kowtowing to thank him, he carefully exited the hall.

Not far away, Eunuch Fu, the chief executive of the East Palace, was already waiting at the bottom of the steps. Although he was smiling, in the eyes of Marquis Weiyuan, he was as terrifying as calling for a judge.

"Master Hou, this old slave is being polite."

"Don't dare, Mr. Fu, this is..."

Marquis Weiyuan, no, Uncle Weiyuan's face is pale and grey, but Eunuch Fu didn't seem to see it when he went, he smiled and continued, "There is an osmanthus tree outside the Guangming Hall, which has grown too lush this year. Last night The wind was strong, and some dead branches and leaves were broken, and the windows of His Highness's bedroom were smashed, disturbing His Highness's sleep. The old slave is about to take someone to clean it up."

Marquis Weiyuan's face turned pale suddenly, his throat twitched for a long while without responding.

Eunuch Fu bowed again and said goodbye, "If the Marquis is fine, then the servant will go to work. It's just dead branches and leaves. As long as they don't hurt the roots and trunks, they will grow lush again. But if you don't clean them up, you will be annoyed." His Highness, I'm afraid it will be uprooted. Dayuan is so big, how can we not move two good trees."

After all, he didn't care about Marquis Weiyuan's precarious appearance, turned around and took the little eunuch away, not intending to explain how he came to Qiankun Palace after cleaning up dead branches and leaves.

A young eunuch on the steps saw everything and ran back quickly. During lunch, Emperor Chengde heard the news.

"The crown prince is still too merciful. As an emperor, even if he despises something, the courtiers should not covet the slightest bit!"

"Your Majesty calm down, the prince is benevolent, and it is also a blessing for all officials."

Eunuch Lu persuaded, seeing the master put down the chopsticks, he removed the hot soup, for fear that the master would be angry and burn himself.

Emperor Chengde frowned, "The combination of strength and softness, and the combination of kindness and strength is the way to control the subordinates. In the future, the crown prince may suffer from today's affairs."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much, Marquis Weiyuan probably doesn't have the guts."

Eunuch Lu has been by Emperor Chengde's side for many years, so he doesn't need to say much about his intimacy, and he speaks more casually.

Sure enough, Emperor Chengde sighed and waved his hands, "Forget it, the folks say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so I don't bother with that."

"That's right, Your Majesty will raise the dragon body well, and it will be the best to watch His Royal Highness grow up day by day."

There has never been a secret in the capital, the news that the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion was unlucky, and the Marquis was deposed as an uncle, spread all over the streets and alleys before Marquis Weiyuan arrived home.

The plaque of the Marquis of Weiyuan was replaced, and a servant from the Ministry of Rites was about to take it away when Madam Weiyuan stopped him, "Master Wu, what big mistake did our Marquis do? This plaque is not indebted! "

Wu Shilang also felt a little sympathetic. Unlike other marquises, the Marquis of Weiyuan was conferred purely on the basis of military merits.Now because of the inability to teach their children, they have ended up now, which makes people sigh.

"Ma'am, I was also ordered to run a business. You will know about it when Lord Hou comes back."

Mrs. Hou Ye couldn't stop her, and when she saw helplessly that there was nothing she could do, Marquis Weiyuan came back.

But before she could ask, Marquis Weiyuan went to the study again, several personal guards guarded the door, no matter how Madam Weiyuan yelled and scolded, they did not open the door.

Marquis Weiyuan rubbed the ink slowly, his hand weighed heavily, but he still wrote a few crosses and stuffed it into the envelope.

The sunlight outside the window shone through the edge of the window and shone on his temples, which seemed to have whitened a lot in an instant...

Some families are happy and some are sad. There are tens of millions of people in the world, and joys and sorrows are happening almost all the time.

In Xiyangyang Restaurant in West Market, it was still full of people today.Hot pot is most suitable for cold winter days. One bite, it seems to warm you from your throat to your stomach.

Therefore, at noon, no matter whether it is the lobby or the boxes, there are no empty seats.

Chen Xin walked around in the lobby, and when he returned to the backyard, the smile on his face stopped and his brows frowned fiercely.

It was rumored just now that Weiyuan Hou's son was ordered to go to Beijing to do business, but he was passive and sabotaged, and finally fell ill in Bei'an Prefecture.Moreover, the third son of the Tang family also talked nonsense after drinking, and committed the crime of disrespect, which dragged his father into prison.

This is a bit weird, the Tang family and Marquis Weiyuan are relatives by marriage, and the colleague was unlucky, and the mention of Bei'an Prefecture made him mention it in his heart, and he couldn't let it go.

Just when he was hesitating whether to go to the Wang family to inquire about the news, the family steward unexpectedly came.

"Shopkeeper, someone from my hometown is here to deliver the letter, it seems to be urgent!"

Chen Xinxin's head jumped wildly, and he didn't care to respond, and opened the letter carelessly after receiving it.As a result, after reading ten lines at a glance, there were stars in his eyes, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Weiyuanhou's son and the second son of the Tang family coveted the method of growing vegetables. They forced Xiaomi to be their concubine but failed. They sent troops to besiege Laoxiongling under the pretext of harboring spies. Take people to make a knot for my father. If he dies unfortunately, my son will take care of his mother. Take care of the younger sister. Dad must have eyesight! Also, be cautious about revenge, and don't be reckless."

The north wind blew away the letter paper in his hand, revealing the scribbled handwriting, which shows how anxious shopkeeper Chen was when he wrote the letter.
