MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 614 Return to Cezhou
Having said this, it seemed that the emperor would be a little unkind if he did not allow it anymore, so he agreed to the matter with a wave of his hand.
Although the Yan family was deprived of their titles, the emperor immediately promoted Yan Shilang to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, ranking first among the six departments.
It was then that everyone present understood that Marquis Yan could use his retreat to advance, exchanging a title with little real power for Yan Shangshu, who was very likely to become the next prime minister. This kind of skill was something that an old fox like him could only imagine.
From now on, Empress Yan and the Earl's Mansion who relied on Prince Furong will become a thing of the past, and the new emperor's confidant Yan Shangshu will rise. As long as he can go smoothly in the court, the Yan family will never fall!
After the next court, those ministers who had been quite close to Mr. Yan gathered around him one after another.
“What are your plans for the future, Mr. Hou?”
"I am not a Marquis anymore. A common man cannot deserve your love. After the little girl is taken out of the palace, we will leave Sui'an City. As for the plan, just take it one step at a time. When you are old, you will be involved in these things. , leave it to the younger generations to do it themselves.”
After finishing speaking, he walked away neatly, leaving everyone deep in thought again.
“Tell me, could it be that the Yan family knew something? That’s why it was so clean?”
"It's hard to say. Didn't the daughter of the Li family marry into the Duke's Palace? The Duke's Palace and the General's Palace are inextricably linked. Who knows if Yan Shangshu heard some rumors from the Yue family and acted like this! "
“Our new emperor is so secretive that it’s really hard to predict what his next move will be.”
After a few casual chats, everyone dispersed.
But Yan Houye's "kind words" were still taken into the hearts of many people, so many old ministers also knew that this was no longer their world, so they either asked to abdicate in favor of others, or in the name of recuperation It also gradually left the core power department.
Those who left, dispersed, changed, and were promoted. Those who were willing to stay were those the emperor wanted him to stay, and those who left were quickly promoted, so there was no turmoil in the government. Calm has been restored, and it is even a little more prosperous than before.
It was April of the same year in the turbulent and turbulent time of Changle. It was already clear and bright in the middle of the court.
The new dynasty had a new look. After Yan Shangshu was promoted, Xing Shilang was also promoted to the post of Shangshu. One of them was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the other was in charge of the Ministry of War. Although they were old ministers, they became the left and right humerus in front of the new emperor, which made many people They were all filled with emotion.
Everyone thought that the Xing family and the Yan family would fight to the death over the fight for their heirs, but they didn't expect that the final outcome of the two families would be so peaceful.
When the crabapple flowers were in full bloom, Gu Shaoyu and his wife finally rushed to Cezhou with their family and settled in the General's Mansion here.
Most of the objects in this general's mansion were still there when Marshal Gu was old. Therefore, when Ni Yang came here to clean up, he didn't move much. He just added some more according to the habits of everyone in the family, so it looked a bit nondescript. .
Du Jingyi looked around with Butler He and Aunt Dou, then shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Ni Yang with a wry smile.
“It’s hard for Vice General Ni.”
“Madam, you’re welcome, I can still handle this small matter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu looked at him with a look of disgust, and then exposed him ruthlessly.
"Madam, what you mean is that you can make this place so ugly, can't you tell?" "Huh? Is it ugly?"
Ni Yang looked around and thought it was okay. Why did it look ugly?
Mother Dou on the side stood up and said in a haha manner.
"Lieutenant General Ni is a talented person who can kill enemies at the front. He can naturally take care of such a small matter in the back house. However, our wife and the old ladies and ladies who came with us still need to tidy up a little more before they can move in. .”
Ni Yang sighed, then spread his hands helplessly and said.
“I don’t have a wife at home, otherwise it would be better if she comes to take charge of this matter. It would be a joke to the lady. If there is something inappropriate, just give your order, and someone will come and take it away.”
"Vice General Ni, thank you for your hard work. We have brought a lot of servants this time. There is more than enough to clean up the yard. If you have nothing to do, please help build a martial arts training ground in the backyard. The boys at home have to practice every day. Fists and kicks, that, we are just laymen."
Du Jingyi’s words were pleasant to listen to, and Ni Yang also felt that the task was good, so he immediately accepted it, and then went to arrange manpower.
After he left, Gu Shaoyu looked at Du Jingyi apologetically and spoke.
"If I had known about it, I would have sent Aunt Dou and Butler He over first to take a look. This boy Ni Yang is usually very effective in organizing the military camp, but he didn't expect that the house he built turned out like this. It's really a joke to Madam. "
“General, you didn’t use Vice General Ni in the right place. Look, the training ground must be better and more suitable than the one we have in Sui’an City!”
Gu Shaoyu smiled, and his whole person exuded a somewhat flamboyant calmness of time.
This is a side that he never showed in Sui'an City or Jinling City. Du Jingyi could feel it, and he also knew that it was because Gu Shaoyu basically grew up in Cezhou during his entire boyhood.
Although he was devastated by the death of his whole family, there were also memories of his youth that made him high-spirited. Therefore, Du Jingyi was happy and hoped that the existence of himself and his family could revive Gu Shaoyu's warm memories of Cezhou. a bit more.
Then, he looked around, and then said.
"General, let's rest for a while. I will take Butler He and Aunt Dou to settle the eldest aunt and others first, and then go to see the place in the yard that needs to be tidied up again. There is also a place where the master lives. Don't be careless. He will follow us. You’ve come all the way to Cezhou, so don’t let anyone feel wronged.”
Du Jingyi had not even sat down to take a sip of water, but she was busy again. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu did not delay her, but stood up and said.
“Then let me take some of the boys to the military camp. The lieutenants have been waiting to deal with these boys for a long time. It’s a good idea to go and meet them first!”
The couple had discussed the matter of entering the military camp a long time ago.
But I only went there once or twice in the middle of the trip, and it was just a series of troubles, so I couldn't find time to do it. Now it's better.
The Huben army returned to Cezhou to continue guarding the border, and their family also followed. Such an opportunity would be useless if it is not practiced, so Gu Shaoyu took the children out. (End of chapter)
