After rebirth, I became a national teacher

As soon as Yan Tongzhi returned home, he told his wife what had happened today, and then urged her to go to the abbot of the temple immediately to claim credit.

The Yan family really didn't put in much effort in the capital.

But he personally took part in the confinement of the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

The Jingnan Marquis' Mansion is now completely in his hands. He will take good care of the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion and vent his anger on behalf of the Cihang Temple.

If the master wants to impose any additional punishment measures that do not threaten life, it is just a matter of giving an order.

Mrs. Yan also knew that she must not miss this great opportunity to seek credit and reward.

It’s not that the Yan family has made any great contributions.

But the Yan family's position is so firm that they are willing to be loyal to the master even at the cost of offending the Zhang family and the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion. This piety is at least worthy of praise.

Moreover, hearing the good news that the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion had been cleaned up might make the master of the temple feel better.

Who knows, maybe he would give his family a bottle of magic dew out of pleasure.

In short, opportunity is fleeting.

Maybe tomorrow many people will hear the news and come to report the good news.

Even though it was already 3 p.m., Madam Yan immediately asked someone to harness the carriage and rushed to Cihang Temple.

When we arrived at Cihang Temple, it was already dark.

After knocking on the door of the temple, she said to Huiyun who came to greet her:

"Master Huiyun, can you please inform the abbot that I have important news about the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion to report to him?"

Huiyun is the only person who knows the relationship between Chen Qingzhu and the Jingnan Marquis Mansion.

Upon hearing this, he naturally went to report it immediately.

Chen Qingzhu was originally practicing, but after hearing Huiyun's report, he thought for a moment and decided to meet Mrs. Yan in person.

After many days, Madam Yan finally had the chance to meet the abbot again. She was extremely excited.

The abbot usually does not receive believers, but now that he is willing to meet her in person, it also means that the Yan family can gain some respect in front of the abbot.

"Greetings to the abbot! The abbot is everlasting and joyful!"

She bowed extremely respectfully, treating Chen Qingzhu as someone of higher status.

"Mrs. Yan, please sit down."

Madam Yan raised her head and glanced at the abbot. She felt that after not seeing him for many days, he looked even more radiant and dazzling.

The dim candlelight added a sense of haziness and mystery to it, making the whole person look more and more like a fairy, otherworldly and otherworldly.

"Master, I am here to tell you a piece of good news! The Marquis of Jingnan was punished by His Majesty's decree today. He has been dismissed from his post and demoted, and is now under house arrest!"

Such punishment did not surprise Chen Qingzhu.

After all, in order to deal with Marquis Jingnan, it is necessary to take away his military power and eliminate the possibility of him leading troops to cause chaos.

As for on-the-spot confinement, it was also in line with the emperor's love of reputation.

It stands to reason that once the Marquis of Jingnan was dismissed and demoted, there was no need for him to stay in the southern capital city. He should return to the capital as soon as possible and try to use his various connections to revive as soon as possible.

But if they were allowed to just walk away, how could the people fully understand the emperor's wisdom?

It is necessary to lock people up in the place where they made mistakes, so that the people will always remember that the emperor severely punished the Jingnan Marquis Mansion for only committing minor mistakes in order to speak up for the common people.

In this way, even if other powerful people committed evil deeds, it was not because the emperor condoned them, but simply because the emperor was unaware of them and the treacherous officials deceived him.

The only thing she was uncertain about was the extent of the emperor's demotion to the Marquis of Jingnan's mansion.

Upon asking, Chen Qingzhu found out that it was actually pulled all the way to the bottom, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

The Marquis of Jingnan was a founding hero, so he was given the title of first-class marquis.

Over so many generations, our ancestors have never made any serious mistakes that the emperor could find fault with, which is why they have been fortunate enough to retain their titles to this day.

More than two hundred years have passed, and the imperial court has become increasingly stingy with titles. Only those who have made great contributions can be granted the title of nobility.

It is extremely difficult to upgrade an existing title.

Pei Xiao was demoted from a first-class marquis to a second-class earl, a direct drop of four ranks.
