Dressed as the villain's stepmother

The eldest prince was reprimanded, Princess Xiao Xiyan's dream was shattered, and the family quietly left Beijing in the cold spring.

In Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion, everyone except Xiao Xiyan was killed, leaving no one alive.

On that day, in the Kyoto vegetable market, criminals of the court were hacked and killed for several days, and the streets of the capital were stained with blood. Everyone who was an official in Kyoto was cautious and did not dare to be presumptuous, let alone mention the word "Xiao family".

Prime Minister Xiao has been an official for many years and has many disciples and old officials. After His Majesty dealt with one batch of officials after another, one-third of the officials in the court were reprimanded or questioned.

At this moment when everyone is in danger, the only one who is happy is that Prince Xiang's Mansion is the only one left.

After Prime Minister Xiao inquired about the crime, the matter of Prince Xiang's eldest son Xue Yin secretly hiding weapons was naturally not counted, nor was the serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason carried by Prince Xiang's palace.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, one door of Prince Xiang's Mansion came out of the prison.

In order to celebrate the clearing of their charges, Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu, under the instruction of His Majesty, took over the affairs of Prince Xiang's family.

This move naturally made the people in Prince Xiang's Mansion burst into tears of gratitude.

"Prince Xiang's Mansion can clear his name only if he survives from the prison. Thanks to the two of you, you have pursued the truth all the way. There is no way you can repay your kindness. Please accept my respects, Mr. Liao and Miss Jiang!"

Xue Yin already knew that Liao Yunchuan almost died in the process of tracing the truth, so he was even more grateful for their help.

Liao Yunchuan quickly helped the person up.

Prince Xiang and his concubine were even more grateful to Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu.

"Don't be so polite. The princess and the prince treat us sincerely. They will take care of us all the way. Everything we do today is what we should do!"

People change people's hearts.

Jiang Lianzhu did not forget that Prince Xiang's Mansion took great care of her after she first entered Kyoto.

Prince Xiang's Mansion treated them sincerely, how could Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan bear to see them being wronged like this?

When Prince Xiang and his wife saw Jiang Lianzhu like this, they were even more moved.

"Sure enough, Liao Yunchuan is more cordial with Prince Xiang and Princess."

When everyone was sighing in front of the door, His Majesty suddenly arrived.

"I wrongly blamed the Xiangwang clan, and I came here specifically to apologize to you. I made you feel wronged in the past."

His Majesty came to the door in person, and King Xiang was flattered.

Leading Prince Xiang up and down the palace, he quickly knelt down to greet the emperor.

"What are you talking about, your majesty! The rule of nature is between father and son. The situation that day is indeed confusing. The only blame is Prime Minister Xiao's evil thoughts. Hundreds of people from the ministers and Prince Xiang's palace thanked your majesty for us." Clear the grievances!”

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

They didn't dare to blame His Majesty for the incident at Prince Xiang's Mansion.

"Okay, okay, King Xiang is loyal to the king, patriotic, and thinks of the country and the country wholeheartedly. Get up, everyone, I am here today to have fun with you."

His Majesty helped Xue Yin and King Xiang who were kneeling and saluting from the ground.

"Prince Xiang's Mansion was framed by Prime Minister Xiao, so Prince Xiang was unable to celebrate his birthday properly. Today, not only did I come by myself, but I also brought Marquis Zhenbei and Cheng Xu to hold a make-up birthday banquet for Prince Xiang."

"Don't stay outside, everyone. Since everyone is here, let's have a banquet!"

With His Majesty's words, the guests at Prince Xiang's Mansion enjoyed themselves.

I am afraid that only the current Prince Xiang's Mansion in Kyoto has such a cheerful scene.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Your Majesty has just explained the purpose of your visit.

"Now that Prime Minister Xiao has been eradicated, it is the time for the court to employ people. Therefore, Prince Xiang Xue Yin, you will resume your official position from today on. In addition, you will also serve as the Minister of Rites."

In the past, the Ministry of Rites was controlled by Prime Minister Xiao's people. Now, in order not to repeat the same mistakes, His Majesty naturally wants to arrange for his own people to hold this position.

"Xue Yin thanks His Majesty for his grace, but he may not be qualified for the post of Minister of Rites."

Xue Yin looked embarrassed and glanced at the other people in the room before continuing to speak.

"Back to Your Majesty, all the gentlemen present here now, Xue Yin thinks that all of them are better than me. The ministers are less talented and less educated. It is too difficult to hold the post of Minister of Rites at the same time."

His Majesty was unmoved.

Smiling and letting him stand up.

"Xue Yin, you are young now, so naturally you should work harder if you are able. Even if there is something you don't understand, you can ask Prince Xiang to give you more ideas."

"As for the other people here, some of them are indeed very capable, but they have already made arrangements for themselves."

"Yao Yue Kingdom is now nominally coming to peace talks, but their plans are not clear yet. Therefore, Gu plans to ask Zhenbei Marquis to lead troops to guard the border in the near future, with Cheng Xu assisting from the side. The two complement each other to ensure the security of the country. I'm fine."

If the court wants to be stable, it must have a general who can lead troops in war.

Both Zhenbeihou and Cheng Xu are rare generals.

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Cheng Xu and Zhenbei Hou received the order. Liao Xiaoan on the side saw this situation, stood up from his seat and knelt in the hall.

"Your Majesty, can you allow Master to take me with him when he goes on an expedition?"

Liao Xiaoan's actions shocked Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu. Originally, they planned to wait until the court settled down, but Liao Yunchuan completely handed over the six doors to Yang Fei to take care of. He and Jiang Lianzhu took the three treasures to travel around.

Unexpectedly, Liao Xiaoan wanted to join the army.

Liao Yunchuan was about to speak, but was stopped by Jiang Lianzhu on the side.

When children grow up, they have their own ambitions. Jiang Lianzhu will not interfere with the children's choices with her own will.

"Oh? Tell me why you want to go to the border with your master Zhenbeihou. That place doesn't have to have beautiful scenery in the capital and abundant resources and people?"

His Majesty was very curious and asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, when Master taught me, he said that a good man should have the world in his heart and his ambitions in all directions. Xiao An wants to be like Master and General Cheng Xu, to protect his family, his country, and his country."

Liao Xiaoan was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke extremely loudly.

"Okay! As expected, he is a good son of the Liao family. I am sure about this!"

Your Majesty has the final word.

Not only that, after the banquet at Prince Xiang's Mansion, His Majesty also took away the great treasure Liao Xiaoping. However, this matter was agreed by Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan.

Inside Lihua Garden.

Both the Dabao and the Dabao have their places to go, Liao Yunchuan said with a smile as he guarded Jiang Lianzhu.

"From now on, only you will be with me."

Not long after the banquet at Prince Xiang's Mansion, news came from the palace that the emperor ordered the third prince to supervise the country.

This move shocked the people in the capital, but after careful consideration, it was reasonable. The eldest prince had been reprimanded, the prince had passed away, and in the royal family, except for the sixth prince who was just born, only the third prince could Inherited the great rule.

It is understandable that His Majesty lost two sons one after another and was exhausted mentally and physically, and had no interest in government affairs.

Not long after the news came that the third prince was supervising the country, a delegation from the Yue Kingdom was invited to Beijing. As the Minister of Rites, Xue Yin and the third emperor were responsible for welcoming the delegation. .
