After rebirth, I became the favorite of my scumbag brother

Chapter 375: The Aftermath of the Palace Change

Li He and Su Qingyun looked at Su Lanxin and Li Ziyu with malicious eyes, but the couple didn't care much. Although they came here today with sincere intentions, it was more for the purpose of avoiding any handle from others.

Su Lanyu couldn't accept that Su Lanxin was not implicated. "Su Lanxin, you guys aren't coming with us?"

Su Lanxin didn't care about Su Lanyu's rudeness, "Yes, my husband and I, along with my grandfather, will not go with you. My husband and I had the honor of meeting His Majesty last night, and His Majesty showed mercy and pardoned us.

Sister, you have to work hard on this trip. You have to take care of our father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and my brothers and sisters. I am far away from them, so I have to trouble you.

Grandparents are old, and my sister has had a hard time on the road. My husband wants to stay in the capital, so I can only stay in the capital with him. From now on, I will have to trouble my sister."

Su Lanyu looked at Su Lanxin and Li Ziyu. The two seemed to be a good match, but at this moment, it seemed very glaring in her eyes.

Why? Why did she and her whole family have to go into exile, and why could she and Li Ziyu stay in the capital? Why did her husband have to go into exile, and Li Ziyu, the bastard, had to stay in the capital? Su Lanyu held her son in her arms, and a huge resentment overwhelmed her.

Li Yunyi looked at the perfect couple standing next to his grandfather. He had the same idea as Su Lanyu. These two people looked really dazzling.

But he didn't expect that his eldest brother stood on the eldest prince's side and even made a contribution. But what was even more surprising was that his eldest sister-in-law was actually a master.

She was the most unexpected person in this incident! If she hadn't had kung fu, Bai Yuyan would have at least been cautious. Who would have thought that she was a master and had been pretending in the capital for so long?

This was completely different from what he had dreamed of. In his dream, she was timid and had no opinion of her own, let alone kung fu. He didn't know why this person was so different from the one in his dream.

The elder brother in my dream was not in the capital like he is now. He returned to Beijing for only half a year and then left. He returned to Beijing many years later, and the only reason he returned was to cancel the engagement.

Except for these two people, most of the things in the dream actually happened. Except for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, the biggest difference is that the eldest prince is still alive and well.

But he always felt that the biggest variable was the two people in front of him, but...

As time passed, the escorting officers said to Li Ziyu, "Sir Li, it's almost time. Should we set off?"

Li Ziyu looked at the Su and Li families, sighed and said, "Father, father-in-law, this trip must have been hard, I hope you all take care of yourself. If you need anything, you can write to me at any time. Grandfather will stay in the capital, and I will take good care of him."

Then he said to the officers, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work on this trip. My family and my Yue family have also taken great pains to take care of you. I will thank you brothers when you return to Beijing."

The leading officer said to Li Ziyu, "Master Li, please rest assured that we will live up to your trust."

Li Ziyu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all!"

Li Yunyi looked at Su Lanxin and said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Su Lanxin looked at the exhausted and decadent Li Yunyi. He was no longer the high-spirited man she remembered. There was no light in his eyes anymore, only darkness and confusion.

"My Lord, I have nothing to say to you alone. If you have anything to say, please say it here!"

Li Ziyu had been looking at Li Yunyi warily when she opened her mouth, but he did not expect that his wife would reject him directly, which made him very satisfied.

Li Yunyi didn't expect him to refuse directly. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know about Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?"

Su Lanxin paused when she heard this. Is this really the case?

"Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly. It was nothing more than a dream. Why should you care about it, my Lord?"

Su Lanxin didn't want to say more, and Li Ziyu didn't want Su Lanxin and Li Yunyi to say more. The chief official said at this time: "It's almost time, let's go, if we delay any longer we will miss the post station."

Just like that, the Su and Li families slowly set off under the urging of the officials. Li Ziyu and Su Lanxin supported the old marquis and watched the group go away.

The old marquis felt a little sad when he saw his grandchildren going away, but when he looked at his eldest grandson and his granddaughter-in-law in front of him, he thought, "That's it! Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I am old now and can't care so much."

Watching the group walking further and further away, Su Lanxin said to the old marquis, "Grandfather, let's go back! We have to move everything out before dark. We can't delay any longer."

The old marquis nodded and said, "Go back!"

The group slowly returned to the city. Su Lanxin first sent the old marquis back to the house she had just bought in Huaihua Lane. Li Ziyu had other things to do, so he also left.

However, most of the things in Bitao Courtyard had been moved, so Su Lanxin asked people to buy the old marquis's things. The old marquis looked at the busy people, and although they were unfamiliar, they seemed quite nice.

His usual person, Su Lanxin, has already arranged for someone to redeem it, but it will take some time.

That night, Li Ziyu also came back. Su Lanxin and her servants ate in the yard. The two of them accompanied the old marquis to dine. The old marquis couldn't help but think of his children and grandchildren who were on the road to exile, so Li Ziyu had to say a few words to comfort him.

There was panic in the capital these days, and the entire court was busy dealing with traitors. All the ministers who followed Chu Yu were dealt with, their property was confiscated, those who should be exiled were exiled, and those who should be executed were executed.

However, the emperor seemed more willing to let these once loyal ministers suffer. Except for Chu Yu, the mastermind, and several related people who were sentenced to death, the rest were sentenced to exile.

Su Lanxin and Li Ziyu are special cases. Their family members were exiled for committing crimes, but these two people made contributions on the day of the palace coup, and Li Ziyu was promoted to deputy general of the Imperial Guard.

Su Lanxin was conferred the title of Princess of Ning'an County for her meritorious service in saving the emperor. She was rewarded with a large amount of gold, silver and jade articles, and also received a lot of cloth and jewelry from the harem.

Hua Yunxi was also given the same title as Su Lanxin. She was given the title of Princess Jiayun County, but her rank was slightly lower than Su Lanxin's. Both of them were highly praised by the Emperor.

This palace coup also led to a major reshuffle in the court. Two ministers were removed from office at the same time: one was the Minister of Revenue Su Qingyun, and the other was the Minister of Works Yao Zhongpei.

In the harem, in addition to the queen being banished to the cold palace, Concubine Rou was also demoted to the cold palace. After dealing with this series of things, the emperor directly gave Chu Yu a cup of poisoned wine to kill him.

Just when several princes wanted to push their own people to the positions of the two ministers, the emperor appointed the two ministers with lightning speed.

The Ministry of Works was taken over by Jiang Fu, the Assistant Minister of Works, while the Ministry of Revenue was taken over by Kang Huaizhen, a Langzhong of the Hanmen Department, whom he had personally supported. Kang Huaizhen was not prominent in the Ministry of Revenue, but played a key role in the process of investigating the Ministry of Revenue.

He was a thorn in the Ministry of Revenue that the Emperor had placed in the Ministry many years ago. He was no one's man. This time, the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Revenue Su Qingyun were all brought down. Only then did everyone realize that this unknown Lord Kang was the Emperor's man.

He then issued an edict to appoint the fifth prince Chu Qi as Prince Rui, the seventh prince as Prince Duan, the eldest prince Chu Mo as Crown Prince and Regent, and at the same time granted the eldest prince a marriage with Shen Yunzhi, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family.

The fifth prince stayed in Beijing to assist Chu Mo, and the seventh prince left Beijing for his fiefdom and was not allowed to return to Beijing without being summoned. The emperor's series of decrees caught the court officials off guard and made their wishes come to nothing.

Not long after, Prince Duan left Beijing with his family and went to his fiefdom. The forces that Prince Duan had secretly cultivated and the officials he had won over were also dealt with by order of the emperor.

The emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and many things were left to Chu Mo to handle. If there was something that needed to be discussed, Chu Mo would not interfere, but would go to the emperor to discuss it in person.

It was also because of this that Chu Mo's ability to govern the country gradually emerged. He was kind and decisive, had his own opinions and listened to advice, which made many people look at him with admiration.
