Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Cheng Jingzhou also didn't expect that he would be directly promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs at such a young age, which was quite stressful.

After all, everyone looked at him with envy, jealousy, and dissatisfaction.

There are always seven or eight out of ten people who think that he was promoted so quickly because of the light of the Yue family.

But everyone who experienced the palace change that day knew that if it weren't for him, the Dazhi Dynasty might have lost another prince.

Therefore, the Holy One just promoted him to an official position, which was already considered a small reward.

Sure enough, a few days later, another imperial edict arrived.

Mrs. Cheng and Xie Rongzhao are now Mrs. Gaoming, both from the fourth rank.

Generally speaking, it is rare for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be of the same grade.

In addition, the rewards that flowed in like water made people envious.

Cheng Jingzhou should be the youngest Minister of Household Affairs in the history of the Dazhi Dynasty.

Xie Xiuwen ascended to the position of chief minister. Now King An is under house arrest, King Fu is gone, and Xie Xiuwen has been awarded the title of Crown Prince and Tutor.

Obviously, the Emperor's preferred candidate for crown prince is the fifth prince Li Heng.

This kind of thing is tacitly understood by everyone.

People came to curry favor with the fifth prince one after another. Fortunately, Xie Xiuwen reminded him in advance, so he was still the same as before. He should go to school, practice martial arts, and sometimes get some from outside. The rare food came in and ate with the Holy One.

I don’t know if it’s because I really like this son, so every time I have him with me, I can eat half a bowl of rice more.

The previous trouble caused by King Fu and King An really made the saint depressed for a while.

But he is the emperor, and others can close the door and grieve silently, even if they lie in bed for a year and a half, it will be fine, but he is the emperor, and he cannot fall.

So, I had to push myself up to deal with all this.

Fortunately, the fifth prince was filial. Even though most of the courtiers had already figured out his preferred candidate for the crown prince, the child remained as usual and was not too proud.

Although Emperor Jingwen was determined, it did not mean that he was willing to watch himself drift away from power day by day. The rise of a new generation of emperors would inevitably make him feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, in front of the emperor, the fifth prince always looked childish, and sometimes he would deliberately tell some folk jokes to make the emperor laugh.

Since Emperor Jingwen had already expressed his attitude, he should take action.

The first thing to do is about the selection of the fifth prince's concubine.

Li Heng was not crowned king, he was just a bald prince with no title. Prince Fu and Prince An were standing in front of him, so he could not be seen, so the noble ladies from each family also stared at the few related ones. A powerful person, who would have thought that the fifth prince could achieve anything?

The Xie family on Anhe Street began to think about it again.

In the past few years, the Xie family has been in decline. Now they have sold off more than half of the family's properties, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the luxurious style of this large family.

If things continue like this, this family may not be broken up!

What Xie Qing said before about having relatives staying there was actually just an excuse. Wang Ximeng and the others moved out, and the house was sold.

It didn't take long for the Xie family to live in the big house.

It's not that their family really has no money, but that when Dali Temple investigated the case, the two young masters of the Xie family were involved.

Under the anger of the Holy Emperor, do the Xie family still want to have a happy life? Emperor Jingwen had a son die and a son wasted. He was not happy at first, and he was thinking of finding someone to vent his anger to. Now you bump into him, who are you going to punish if you don't punish him?

Everyone in the Xie family has been dismissed from their official positions. In addition, they also face the risk of having their homes confiscated.

The order to confiscate the family's home has not been issued yet, like a knife hanging over the heads of the Xie family, it can fall at any time.

Now everyone in the Xie family is imprisoned, and the entire Xie Mansion can only be entered but not exited.

Two days later, the imperial edict came down and the Xie family was confiscated and everyone in the Xie family was deported to their place of origin.

In other words, no matter whether you have a house in the capital or not, you cannot stay in the capital.

Fortunately, the ancestral home of the Xie family is not too far away. After all, they are already related to the Xie family in Gaoyang by many branches.

Moreover, since Xie Xiuwen's grandfather was framed and left the capital, the clan was completely separated and had nothing to do with the Xie family in the capital.

Since then, the once prosperous Xie family on Anhang Street has come to an end.

The Xie Mansion on Anhe Street is empty of people and is so desolate that it's scary.

Because Wang Ximeng was far away from the capital, and the class she was in contact with was no longer the same as before, it was not until many years later that she learned that the Xie family in the capital had fallen.

Xie Xiuwen did not take action to suppress any party, not even the faction of Mr. Zheng Ge who once caused him trouble. .

Zheng Ge Lao's faction is completely dormant. Some people have other thoughts, but now that the holy will is not clear, they dare not act rashly. What if Zheng Ge Lao is activated again?

Of course, this extravagant hope is destined to not be realized.

After Mr. Xie left the capital, Mr. Zheng Ge asked someone to tell him that he wanted to retire and return to his hometown.

Why not do it yourself?

The Holy Father ordered him to reflect on himself at home. How could he dare to go out?

With these three twists and turns, Emperor Jingwen finally showed his respect to Zheng Ge and made the decree accurate.

According to the law of great governance, the rank of an ordinary official when he retires and returns to his hometown, some of the benefits he enjoys will be halved accordingly.

For example, a fourth-grade official can earn 400 shi of rice per year and 700 acres of farmland. Not to mention other things, if he retires and returns to his hometown normally, he can still get 200 shi of lumi per year. Job fields will also be converted into three to four hundred acres, and most of them will be assigned to the official's place of origin.

In addition, the local government offices will also arrange for strength classes, monthly miscellaneous tasks, etc.

However, after Mr. Zheng Ge's proposal was approved, the Holy Father only gave instructions to the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle the Lumi matter, and did not mention other matters.

In this way, all the ministers will understand what the Holy One means.

Mr. Zheng Ge also knew that his retirement would be disgraceful.

Whether it was with Prince Fu or Prince An, they did have contacts.

At that time, Mr. Zheng Ge also regarded himself as a smart man. No matter which prince or prince he cooperated with, he would never express his support for that side.

But even so, he was still involved.

The main thing is that in many of the cases mentioned by the criminals who were imprisoned, Mr. Zheng Ge was involved in them. The Holy Spirit only allowed him to resign and return to his hometown, which was already very forgiving of him.

Mr. Zheng Ge completely withdrew from the court. At least he came out with all his beard and tail. Although he paid a heavy price for it, at least the whole family left the capital, and his nephew Zheng It's even worse.
