Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 157 Returning to Beijing
But no clan would like to be close to the clan mansion in their lifetime, and there are many rumors about this place, but anyone who knows a little bit knows that the clan mansion has always been orthodox, so the punishment of the crown prince will not hurt the root cause.

After the court was over, Xu Ze suddenly didn't want to leave the palace so quickly, lest his colleagues be caught and questioned.Staying in the imperial study with a cheeky face, the palace guards on duty neither chased nor stayed.

"What is Lai doing here?" Emperor Chengqi came back, and now he had changed into regular clothes, with a string of black beads coiled in his hand.

"Hide quietly."

"It will soon be rumored that you are a princeling." Emperor Chengqi looked optimistic.

Xu didn't care, "It's okay, it's better than being called Concubine Xu."

"..."

The right-hand man is angry, brooding, and visits Dali Temple every now and then. It doesn't mean that the mechanism is chaotic, or that the handling of cases is not standardized, and there are all kinds of means to achieve the goal.It's like Dali Temple digging up Zhang's ancestor's grave.

Every time Xu Ze was still thinking about whether to talk to him, the people in the East Palace would stand up and fight back for him righteously, so that he really felt a bit like a princeling now, very worry-free and comfortable, as if he didn't have to worry about anything, sure. A warm and loving family.

During the endless wrangling in the court, the clan's mansion took the prince away for three days, and the punishment was to order him to copy scriptures for the queen for a year, and write a ten thousand-word repentance letter, which was offered in the sacrificial hall.As long as the Dai Viet dynasty does not fall, the letter of repentance will always be there, which is a shame.

"I don't think he cares about it." Emperor Chengqi felt bored that he hated iron but not steel.

"It doesn't hinder being emperor." Xu Ze answered absently.

According to the latest news from Jinling, Cheng Fu is intensively arranging industrial affairs, and the time for returning to Beijing has been confirmed, after the Dragon Boat Festival next year.And the township exam is in August, so Cheng Han won't be with his sister, he will take the township exam before leaving.

He was kicked out of the Imperial Study Room again, and Xu Ze stood outside blowing the cold wind. Fortunately, the officials from various ministries were there, and everyone stared at him together.The old god Xu Ze was there, and his eyes were full of contempt: If you don't accept it, you want to ridicule me, but it's a pity that your official position is not as high as mine.

Xu Jin waited for his younger brother at the palace gate, pushed him into his carriage, and stuffed a hand stove in it.

"It's not winter yet." Although it's really cold.

"You are acting as a spearman for the emperor." First at the sacrificial hall, then at the court hall, this time completely offended the right ministers.

Xu Ze leaned on the soft pillow, closed his eyes and meditated, "I've done everything right, if you still can't see the key points, then it's useless."

"But now everyone is saying that you are pouring the emperor into obsession, and the emperor doesn't know right from wrong."

"The Son of Heaven is not a fool."

Emperor Chengqi can make Da Yue stable and give these people the leisure to think about messy plots every day, which shows that he is capable.Now these courtiers, as the princes grow up day by day, have thoughts that they shouldn't have.Emperor Chengqi didn't allow others to ignore his existence because he saw their faces thoroughly.

"It's really old-fashioned. I just focus on whether others have violated the rules, and I don't think about what I did in the temple." If they clung to the prince and forced Emperor Chengqi to be tried as a public case, then as ministers, in the temple Accusing the prince in front of the emperor, the former queen's phoenix coffin, the clan and all the officials, I don't know if the Zhang family can bear this crime.In order to settle it, Zhang Youxiang paid a much higher price than the prince.

Xu Ze opened his eyes, opened the small window casually, and looked at the scenery along the street slowly passing by. The weather was cold, and the capital city looked lifeless, so he didn't know what Jinling was like.

"Let's just thump hard, someone is coming back."

Jinling
Half a month before the big wedding, Princess Roujia reluctantly moved away from the Jing family. People from the clan said that the princess must respect the rules of her ancestors when she gets married, and there is no reason to marry in a common people's house. King Jianjun of Jinling became the representative of the clan, overseeing all the procedures of the wedding, without losing royal dignity.

Princess Roujia was very upset about this, and complained that since the clan still recognized her as a princess, they should let the emperor issue a marriage edict.

Cheng Fu didn't show up that day, because he happened to be caught in the wind and cold, so Cheng Han went to the wedding banquet alone with the gift, while Xu Ye and Sang Zi went together.

Princess Roujia seemed to be very concerned about Cheng Fu. When she heard that she was sick, she thought it was a faux pas, so she specially sent a family doctor to check her pulse.This made Cheng Fu very annoyed, and felt that he had given too much face to the princess before.

The baby in the family was ill, Xu Ye and Cheng Han had no patience to eat the banquet, they left one after another according to the time, but Wu Ying stayed.The congratulatory gift from Cheng's family cost enough, so he was relieved after letting people stare at it for inspection and storage.To prevent the little girl from being framed by someone with a heart.

The King of Jianjun was not familiar with Princess Roujia, and he had nothing to talk to Wu Lingxiu. After fulfilling his responsibilities, he drank and chatted with a group of supporters of the Dahe Theater, having a good time.

"So you came back without eating?" The little girl sniffed.

I just drank the last medicine of the day, and my mouth is still very bitter.

"Two bites." Cheng Han handed her the prunes.

The little girl muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's a shame... I came with such an expensive gift..."

Wen Xiang and the others held back their laughter, "Miss, even if the young master breaks his stomach, it's not worth the value of the gift."

A series of situations that happened after the prince returned to Beijing have spread to Jinling, including the rumor that Xu Ze is suspected of being a princeling. Leaving aside the particularity of the place where the incident happened, Cheng Fu feels very happy that Zhao Yantao beat Zhao Yanran for the sake of the people. .

"I will resign after the first month." In fact, he has already passed the famous road with Emperor Chengqi.

The little girl was surprised, "Really?"

Xu Ye was annoyed, "Are you so happy that I have accomplished nothing?"

"Xu Liu, you will go back in the future, you know. Let's have fun for a few years now, and you will be as happy as you are fighting crickets, visiting flower houses and holding opera actors."

Seeing Xu Ye's black face, she immediately changed her words, "Just, for example."

"How do you know I will go back, I never thought about it."

The little girl had seen through him a long time ago, "If you don't get married, you might just live like this, but who made you, Xu Chilie, want to confine your wife?"

Xu Ye said impatiently: "The easiest thing to do is to rely on rebellion. If things fail, we will live in seclusion in the mountains. If things succeed, you can do whatever you want." How about it, do you want to reconsider?
"Does that mean the empress? Can I marry many handsome men as concubines? It seems not bad, then Empress Xu, give it a try, it's a way." The little girl seemed to be really thinking about the benefits of becoming an empress.

"...No way, just talking casually, I can't do it." Xu Ye gritted his teeth.If you want to accept a male concubine, you must step on his corpse.

Cheng Han listened to their conversation getting more and more sideways, just wanted to shut their mouths, it was too annoying.

The twelfth lunar month in Jinling is usually bone-chillingly cold, but Cheng's family still held a Cuju competition, and now everyone knows that Miss Cheng specially set up a small stove to coax Xu Meinan.But the lottery is getting better every year, and everyone's enthusiasm is quite high.

This rumor soon caught Sang Zhiqi's ears, and he cursed a few times: "The world is going downhill." But there was nothing he could do.

Inside the arena, the men were fighting in full swing, while outside the arena, Cheng Fu and a few girls got together to enjoy the fire and listened to their recent exciting events.

It turned out that on the night of the wedding between Princess Roujia and Wu Lingxiu, someone actually used the name of the clan's envoy to lie to Wu Lingxiu that there was an admonition that women are superior to men, which is a common practice.Wu Lingxiu didn't question the truth of what the other party said after drinking too much, and didn't believe that someone dared to pretend to be the clan, so he followed them to Xiaohuatang.

As a result, she was knocked out halfway. Fortunately, the princess didn't notify Wu Lingxiu in advance to prevent someone from making trouble, and let the female officer beside her stare at him from a distance. When she found that he was walking towards the flower hall with a stranger, she felt that Something was wrong, but in the end she actually witnessed Wu Lingxiu being knocked out and dragged away.

Anyway, the bridal chamber didn't work out, but the plan to design Wu Lingxiu to have an affair with the maid also failed.While Wu Lingxiu was asleep, Princess Roujia had her mansion searched and a few servants involved were also arrested. She thought blood would flow into rivers, but she said that she was arrested by mistake. So far, there is no conclusion.

"Guess who wants Consort Wu to be convicted?"

The girls are all smart and know, "Who else can it be."

"Although this move is indiscriminate, if it succeeds, it will be a draw from the bottom of the pot." The sixth housekeeper of the Wu family has never been able to stand up.

After returning home, Cheng Fu told Cheng Han what the girls had said, and asked him if he knew who had set Wu Lingxiu up.

Not to mention, the little brother really knows, "Guo Qin gave Wu Lingzuo an idea. If Wu Lingxiu betrayed the princess on the wedding night, it would be tantamount to contempt for the imperial power. No, even if the princess begs for mercy."

"The people involved committed suicide after the incident, and Liufang knew it well, but they had no choice but to find another way." Wu Lingxiu, who almost ruined his family, will definitely make the family pay the price.

The two parties will still have to argue in the future, the eldest princess will not let her have a clan wife on her head, and the Guo family, who claims to be a great hero of the Wu family, is even more unwilling to give up the position of this high-ranking clan wife , even if the other party is a princess.

Cheng Fu is becoming less and less interested in the Wu family's death, as long as they don't make trouble for the Cheng family and Wu Ying.

"The Zhang family's situation is complicated. Dali Temple is following. We don't need to worry about it. I want you to draw out your staff and pay attention to the Chen family and the Marquis of Weiyuan."

"If Xi Hengyun wants to keep his title, he must make achievements in Jinchengguan. With Gu Yanyun's support, he will make military achievements sooner or later. I am impatient that the Weiyuan Houfu is helping the Zhang family to plot against us. Is there any way to punish him? It is best to The title is now lost."

Cheng Han also thinks that the current problems of the Zhang family are very complicated. There are more ruthless characters than their brothers and sisters waiting for opportunities in the dark. With such characters, the future of the Zhang family will not be better. up.

"There is no need to start with Xi Hengyun, Weiyuan Hou's mansion is full of flaws."

"There is also the Chen family...they make me sick." I used to always hear how good the Chen family is, how great it is, how many famous people it has produced, and it is a first-class family in the capital.But since Chen Mengling and Li went back, the disadvantages of the Chen family gradually surfaced.

"Me too." Sometimes he would think that he didn't become a person like Gu Yanya who only lived for revenge because he had a beautiful younger sister.

After the matter was settled, the two brothers and sisters discussed the matter of returning to Beijing.Cheng Han really didn't want her sister to go back to Beijing alone, but she said that there were many things to prepare in Beijing, vengeance to be avenged, and business to be done, so she stopped insisting.

"Xu Ye has to wait for the official's reply, and Wu Ying will not be at ease until Wu Ying removes her branch from the Wu family tree." According to Wu Lingxiu's current madness, she feels that Wu Ying's wish will soon come true.

"I'll let Fan Yu follow you." The capital city is different from Jinling, there are too many crises there, Cheng Han is really worried.

"No need, Luo Xing is following, besides, Gao Sheng has people on hand now." In order to prevent troubles, Gao Sheng has also spent a lot of money to train many dead men over the years.

***
This year, Cheng’s family lived happily and lively as usual. On the night of the second day of junior high school, fireworks exploded over Jinling City, and the whole city was shrouded in brilliant brilliance. Many people went out of their homes to watch the spectacle, and then exchanged New Year’s greetings. .Afterwards, they found out that it was jointly arranged by the Cheng family and the Jing family to pay New Year's greetings to the people of the whole city.

Time flies, and as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival passed, Fu took the people and left Jinling quietly.There were Lu Qing, Ma Xiaodong, and Qian Shan accompanying her. Lin Biao was going to be in charge of the Dahe Theater in the two places, and Cheng Fu decided to keep her and bring her apprentices, and she will go to Beijing with Wu Ying next year.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, few people on their trip knew that everything in Lianghexuan, Jinling Academy, Dahe Theater, Tavern and Cheng's House was as usual.If someone was looking for her, Wu Ying and Cheng Han would also find reasons to push her away. After a long time, everyone thought she was holding back her breath and was planning to start a big business.

On the day Cheng Fu arrived in the capital, Xu Ye received the letter of resignation from the officials.After the delivery was completed at the fastest speed, they hurried to the capital on the same day.It was not until many days later that the people of Jinling City knew that he had resigned and returned to Beijing.

Capital
With Qian Shan's arrival, nothing is more gratifying than Gao Sheng. He wholeheartedly entrusted Cheng's Commercial Firm in the capital to the other party, so that he can help Cheng Fu with other things.So before Qian Shan had time to adapt to the life in the capital, he was kicked out of the market and took over the business in the capital.

"All the members of the Song family who had been suspended from their jobs have been reinstated. Song Shaoxi has been promoted one step higher. The Mrs. Song who was sent to Zhuangzi has also returned. It is estimated that their son and daughter will return to Beijing soon. The Chen family The county lord hasn't been bothering Song Shaoxi very much recently, and seems to be in contact with someone from Daying in the outskirts of Beijing. I've sent someone to investigate the details of that person, and there will be clues tomorrow at the latest."

"Just don't let her touch us." Chen Mengling was already a dead person in Cheng Fu's eyes.

The Cheng family in the capital city is much bigger than the one in Jinling, and the road in front of the gate is also wide enough for six large carriages to walk side by side at the same time. Wu Ying's house is diagonally opposite.Xu Mansion can be reached by walking east from the gate of Cheng's house for a while, so Cheng Fu is quite satisfied with this house.

After settling down, she started to be as busy as ever. It took a lot of days just to walk around Lianghexuan's property and the Cheng family's property, and she was so busy every day that she never touched the ground.When she returned to Beijing, she only told two people, Xu Ze and Zhao Yantao, and she didn't even notify Ye Xuexin who had been in the capital for more than half a year.

On the day Xu Ye arrived in the capital, he didn't deliberately avoid anyone, and he didn't go home first.The horse's hoof stepped directly into the compound, and Bai Ju told him while picking up the reins thrown by him, the lady is busy these days, and she is not often at home during the day, so she specially left a message for him, and she will eat first and have a good rest when she returns home.

The travel-worn young man was warmed by the word "go home", but he only rested for half an hour before Xu Ze and Guang Zhi came to the door.

Xu Ze hadn't seen his son for a long time, and after receiving the news, he went home and changed into a carriage without an emblem, and went to Cheng's house near his home with Guang Zhi.When he got there, he realized how much this girl Cheng Fu valued Xu Ye.With the population of Cheng's family, there is no need to live in such a big house. Cheng Fu probably chose a place close to Xu's house because he was afraid that Xu Ye's family would be troublesome going back and forth.

"You're not afraid of people making fun of you." She lived in someone's house in Jinling, and it's still the same after returning to Beijing.

Xu Yeman didn't care, "Whatever."

The matter of Xu Ye's resignation was not hidden from anyone, and the Ministry of Officials also followed a formal process, so everyone turned their attention to the Xu family.Long before Cheng Fu came back, including the Wuding County Prince's Mansion who had turned against him before, they were all inquiring about Xu Ye's reason for doing so.

The two wives of Xu's family said they didn't know about it, and Xu Ye was a person who wanted to get out as soon as he got out, so it's not surprising that he did anything.Xu Ze's performance was even more speechless. He said that if Xu Yewen was not successful in martial arts, he was useless except for tricking cats and dogs, and he had not met his expectations anywhere, let alone being an official.And Xu Ye himself understood that the level was not enough, so he decided to go home to farm and study.

This word reached Emperor Chengqi's ears, and he deepened his understanding of the shamelessness of Xu's father and son.
