Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

When Si Bochuan heard the emperor talking about the "drafted edict", he thought he was going to be convicted, but he never expected that he would directly enthrone Si Mofeng as the Duke of Dingguo.

He has been asking for the title of Crown Prince for his second son for so many years without success. He never expected that there was such a truth behind it!

Now that he knew his eldest son was alive, it was only natural for him to return the title to him, but -

However, the emperor drafted an edict in court, allowing his eldest son to become Duke Dingguo, but what about him?

He is in the prime of his life.

Although he has not held an actual position in these years, he has made great contributions and holds a title. He is not like the old Duke Wei who had to go to the Imperial Study to make a scene before passing the title to his son!

What should he do if Sima Feng becomes Duke Dingguo? !

Obviously, the emperor did not give him any chance to defend himself. The rebellious son hated him on purpose!

Si Bochuan's whole body was cold and he stared blankly at the majestic emperor on the golden steps.

Twenty years ago, he and my father also had the merit of following the emperor. Twenty years later, his title was taken away by the emperor's golden words...

"Okay, the cabinet will draft the imperial edict in a while. Prince, go get my seal to stamp it!" Xiao Beichen continued.

"Order the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Rites, and the First Battalion of the Imperial Guard to go to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to announce the decree, and to count the Duke Dingguo's Mansion's property on the spot..."

"Today we will divide the family and the mansion. The new Duke Dingguo will take back his deceased mother's dowry and property, divide up the ancestral property and assets of the Duke Dingguo's mansion, and move out of the original house."

"From now on, the plaque of the mansion will be hung wherever the new Duke Dingguo lives! The separate families and mansions should live in peace and not have any contact with each other!"

After Xiao Beichen finished speaking, he glanced at Eunuch Wang. Eunuch Wang quickly walked out and soon brought a cup of tea. Xiao Beichen took the cup and took a sip slowly.

"Si Bochuan, your eldest son is back. It is only natural for him to inherit the title and the family business. It is in accordance with the etiquette and ancestral system."

"Now that he has inherited the title, he has only divided the family and set up a new household. He has not moved out the concubines and illegitimate children in your house. However, considering their young age, and considering the ancestors of the Si family, he has let them off the hook."

"From now on, he will be a branch of the Si family. Don't look for him for your family affairs. If he doesn't come to you to settle the accounts for what happened in the past, I am too lazy to care about it anymore."

After Xiao Beichen finished speaking, he casually waved his hand to signal Si Bochuan, who was lying on the ground, to return to the team. Then he handed the teacup in his hand to Eunuch Wang and spoke again.

"The third thing I came to court for today is that General Jingbei Gu Chengfeng guarded the northern border. When the snowstorm hit last winter, he provided disaster relief, distributed food, slayed demons and protected the people, and resolved the hidden dangers of war in Beiyu and Beicang."

"Now he is running around to buy food to help the people in the northern border. His contribution is to the country. Gu Chengfeng is named Duke Jingguo, and his brother Gu Chengsheng is named General Jingbei, and he will continue to lead the northern border army."

After the Duke of Dingguo incident, the civil and military officials in the court were not surprised to see General Jingbei named Duke of Jingguo. They just listened quietly. Moreover...

They could not refute the achievements of General Jingbei that the emperor had mentioned, and no matter which camp in the court they were in, they could not point out any problems with General Jingbei.

Because from last winter to the beginning of spring, many things about the northern border have been discussed.

Although the imperial court allocated money and transferred a large amount of grain to the northern border, the snowstorm covered nearly ten states in the northern border. The disaster became more serious the further north you go. In the end, even the grain transport teams could not move in. The wind and snow were strong, the roads were blocked by ice and snow, and the mountains, forests and rivers were all frozen.

If General Jingbei had not been farming extensively in the north for so many years and had stored up a lot of food, I'm afraid the northern border would have been filled with corpses by now!

The losses were no less severe than those caused by war.

But the Northern Territory suffered minimal losses thanks to General Jingbei's self-rescue, and Qingfeng Temple also provided timely rescue with Taoism. At least their contributions in slaying demons and eliminating evil are something that ordinary people cannot claim any credit for.

Later, although the Luotian Dajiao also mobilized the Ministry of Works to rush to build houses, it did not use money from the national treasury, as can be testified by the Ministry of Revenue.

The amount of money and grain that the imperial court could provide to support the northern border was limited.

The rest was all paid for by the emperor out of his own treasury, with contributions from fellow disciples of the Qingfeng lineage. He even sent his own people to buy the grain.

I heard that Duke Chen Zheng Yuanfang and his son, as well as the eldest and second sons of Prince Chengyang, had gone to help, and that Prince Chengyang's palace was actively collecting grain and firewood, and even sold out all the charcoal in the charcoal shop.

These things were no secret in the capital, and they had also heard of the means of flying in the sky.

This method comes from the Princess Protector of the Country.

Gradually, some shrewd people slowly came to their senses and wondered why the emperor chose to confer the title of "Protector of the Country" on the eldest princess.

It can cross several states overnight and transport large amounts of food. It's fine in normal times, but it's truly a lifesaver during wars and disasters!

The reason why we were able to survive this snowstorm is, first of all, thanks to General Jingbei, a Taoist farmer, and secondly, probably thanks to the Princess Protector of the Country.

When the emperor talked about the first thing, he also mentioned the leader of the Qinglong Guard, the newly appointed Duke Dingguo, who was also in the team buying and delivering grain.

However, when the emperor conferred him the title of the new Duke Dingguo, he only mentioned that he slayed demons and eliminated evil, which shows how great his achievements were.

They might ask to see it with their own eyes to question the achievements of the new Duke Dingguo.

But they also know that the existence of the Qinglong Guard is to perform tasks that they cannot see with their own eyes and to protect the peace of the country.

If they really had the chance to see it with their own eyes, we can only say that they were in big trouble!

They could not question the new Duke Dingguo, so they naturally accepted that General Jingbei, who had many military achievements and good governance in the northern border, would become the Duke Jingguo.

After the new imperial edict to confer the title of Duke of Jingguo and the new imperial edict to confer the title of General Jingbei were all drafted, Xiao Beichen handed them to the prince for his review and seal.

And he spoke again.

"Okay, I have almost finished my court work today. Now, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the First Battalion of the Imperial Guards will go to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to continue handling what I just mentioned."

"Old Nine, you..." Xiao Beichen said this and looked at Yun Xuanmo again, wanting to ask him if he should also go and witness it.

However, Yun Xuanmo understood the intention of his third senior brother, but shook his head with an indifferent expression.

"Tangtang and I have to go to the South Territory tonight, so we won't waste time there. We might as well go back and get some sleep. Traveling thousands of miles overnight would be tiring even for a Heavenly Master."

Yuntang originally wanted to go and see what was going on, but when he saw that Senior Brother Nine was unwilling to set foot there again, he didn't say anything.

But after thinking about it, she reminded him, "Ninth Senior Brother's biological mother's dowry property must be counted clearly, don't miss anything."

"With so many years left, the business shop must have been profitable. You can't judge by the list from 20 years ago. My ninth senior brother didn't spend a penny of the money earned!"

She hasn't married yet, so it's not convenient for her to do anything directly. She can only remind them not to let that family get away with it.

Xiao Beichen said, "Wang Dexiang, you go with us! If we can't finish the inventory in one day, three days won't be too much! If we don't have enough manpower, transfer the Second Battalion of the Imperial Guards over there as well!"

Wang Dexiang, also known as Eunuch Wang, quickly leaned forward and agreed.
