Come on, Your Highness

The turmoil over the list ended after yesterday's holy ruling, and today they began to raid their homes vigorously and arrest them.

"Quick! Quick!"

Commanders come and go with their officers and soldiers.

"After the Yu family, there is the Wan family, and after the Wan family, there is the Wu family. We must finish copying today!"

Listening to the commander's protracted urging voice, the people stood at the door of their house with their heads stretched out to watch the commotion.

What the common people like to watch most is the scene of corrupt officials being dealt with, and some bold ones simply follow behind to watch.

The masters and young masters who were usually very powerful and could not be offended, as well as the pampered and rich ladies and ladies in beautiful clothes, are now just like bereaved dogs, disheveled and disheveled by the officials.

Crying, shouting and struggling, where is the honor and decency of the past, he was forcefully put on shackles and dragged away rudely amidst the people pointing and laughing.

Falling from the clouds to the quagmire is just a moment.

In the end, two white strips sealed the magnificent mansion, and the wealth and glory disappeared.

The fate of the local criminal officials is nothing more than the executioner's butcher's knife a few days later after they are escorted to Beijing.

If the list of 48 people is the king's intolerance to corrupt officials, then on the first day of his return to court, he sued all the officials who impeached He Xichao into Dali Temple, which showed his strict side to the ministers.

Although most of the ministers who experienced yesterday's court did not participate in it and had nothing to do with them, they still had mixed feelings.

Think about these speech officials, their job is to impeach, even if their positions are not high, they can speak without any scruples if they have an arrow in hand.

Relying on the fact that the imperial court does not accuse people of crimes by speech, it does not care about the truth, even if it is just groundless rumors, as long as it is ignored, it must be using the most severe rhetoric and exaggerated descriptions to impeach people into the most heinous crimes, without review. The ministers of a major crime have become accustomed to it.

Moreover, they always like to attack in groups, and they will not give up until they achieve their goals. If the emperor and the cabinet ignore it, this will not make them stop, but will only become more frustrated and courageous, to show their fearlessness of power.

Of course, if it is finally found that the impeachment is wrong, it is nothing more than a misunderstanding, and it is just an understatement to expose it.

That's the way it is.

Naturally, this time the He family was dismissed, even if they knew that He Xichao was backed by the future crown prince, they would impeach him without any scruples, because the words were innocent, and the King of England could not do anything to them.

But this time he hit the iron plate.

The King of England clarified the facts and corrected He Xichao's name. He thought it was all over, but he turned around and sent these confident officials into Dali Temple!

The reason used is also very legitimate, no matter who it is, it must act within the scope of its authority and with rigor.With malice, stepping on morality, and breaking the rules, even if there are many people, there will be a time for liquidation.

It seems like revenge for private reasons, yes, Xiao Hong was indeed thoroughly annoyed because of accompanying reading.However, his revenge did not use power to overwhelm others. He simply used this as an example to re-regulate the powers of the speech officer, and to clean up the current irresponsible and random atmosphere.

And these officials who were recruited to criticize He Xichao like crazy enough were the first batch of people to make an example of others.

I believe that after this, all officials will be more cautious in speaking.

To be honest, many officials who were impeached for trivial matters and lost better opportunities agree very much.

But at the same time, they couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the King of England's behavior style, he is more vigorous and resolute than Emperor Tiangan. He will not open his eyes and close his eyes because of the customary atmosphere. The days when officials want to fish in troubled waters and do nothing are probably gone forever.

Think about this is the future Lord of the world, if you make a living under his hands...

Some who can see clearly have already started to do their errands seriously, and are more cautious.

After all, no one knows that this time it is the spokesperson group, will it be their department's turn next time?

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it clearly, after this time, seeing the emperor’s love and trust for the King of England, and the latter’s toughness against whoever is unlucky, no one dares to provoke him.

As for He Xichao...

This person is probably the most enviable and jealous existence in the entire capital!

King Ying's almost perverted defense, most of the people who fell under his hands were because he touched He Xichao, which made him furious.

If this was a woman, wouldn't it be a disaster for a beauty?

The delisting of the He family was originally a trivial matter, but it turned into a major event of worldwide concern because of the crazy impeachment.

He Xichao's reputation was already in jeopardy, but when he was about to be scolded by the world, a confession from Jingzhao's prefect instantly restored his reputation.

From a rebellious and unfilial person to a noble boy who upholds justice and is unyielding.

In particular, Wei Guogong's apology completely removed his disobedience hat.

Although the He family's selfishness and lawlessness will be shown in front of everyone for condemnation by the world, but it also sets off He Xichao's unsullied attitude.

No one expected that things would develop to the present situation, even He Xichao himself was surprised when Xiao Hong mentioned the letter of guilt.

"I thought my grandfather refused." He couldn't say how he felt at the moment.

Seeing Wei Guogong, as he said, the most important thing is to visit the grandfather's condition, and the second is to ask for help.

Although he said it, He Xichao didn't have much expectation. In fact, Wei Guogong didn't agree, so he wasn't surprised.

Just inevitably a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly...

He Xichao smiled and said, "It's quite touching."

Xiao Hong didn't take it seriously: "Grandfather is not a fool, who is really kind to him, he knows the truth! If you don't agree this time, he will lose your grandson completely. Is he willing to do it? Just like He Mingrui, how come It doesn’t look reliable.”

Xiao Hong picked the orange peel, broke it into two pieces, and handed one of the pieces to He Xichao: "Besides, even though he is sick, he is still scheming. He didn't say he was going to be demoted or resigned, and he just didn't want the title. You Think about it, my father was already very angry, so..."

He stuffed the orange into his mouth and gave He Xichao a look that you understood.

"The Duke's Mansion is still the Duke's Mansion." He Xichao broke off a small petal and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's the way it is. Now, a salary has been fined and demoted by half a rank, but the position of minister of the Ministry of War has not been lost. As long as there are no mistakes, he will have to be promoted back sooner or later... But Xiao Ming was terrified. "Xiao Hong chuckled, and spat out the seeds after speaking, "This night the orange peel is really thick, and there are seeds, so it's not tasty."

"It's going to be winter, and there are few fruits in the first place, so it's good to eat some." He Xichao broke off another small piece, put it in his mouth, and ate it gracefully.

It's just that he has orange seeds in his mouth, but his expression is thoughtful.

"Ah... open your mouth."

He Xichao came back to his senses and saw Xiao Hong put his hands on his mouth, so he asked strangely: "What are you doing?"

"Spitting seeds, what if you swallow them in your mouth?" Xiao Hong said.

"Oh." He Xichao lowered his head and spat out two seeds, Xiao Hong smiled and put them back into the orange peel and asked, "What were you thinking just now?"

He Xichao sighed softly: "I was thinking, I know my grandfather, he also knows me, he should know that I won't just wait for him to help me, think about it, as long as I restore my reputation, it will be a disaster for the He family, if I do this now, He minimized the damage."

"Do you think Wei Guogong didn't sincerely want to help you, but just had to do so?" Xiao Hong asked.

He Xichao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"But does it matter, or do you expect the friendship with his grandparents to remain strong?" Xiao Hong said disapprovingly.

He Xichao laughed when he heard it: "There is friendship, but it has nothing to do with it. It's just that although I gave up everything in the Duke's Mansion, I didn't intend to let He Mingrui get what he wanted. Grandfather's attitude is more important."

"How to say?"

"Now He Mingrui is the only heir. He is completely inclined to Fanghua Palace and Prince Li's Mansion. Although there is no threat to you, but since childhood, their actions have never stopped, so we have to guard against them. His purpose is very clear. It is to control the Duke of Wei's mansion. Don't think about the title for now, but the back house..."

"There is no Mrs. Guo, only the second wife, but she is in the family temple." Xiao Hong said.

"He Mingrui is getting married soon, what will happen if the eldest princess asks the emperor for mercy?"

"Xi Chao, what do you mean... let me tell my father..."

He Xichao shook his head: "No, the second wife will come back sooner or later. With the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess, she will definitely compete with the eldest wife for the housekeeping rights. Don't underestimate the influence of the back house on men. The relationship between husband and wife has existed for many years, even if it is just a concubine now , can also influence Wei Guogong. When the grandson, grandson, son, daughter-in-law, wives and concubines all fall to that side, no matter how determined a person is, he will be shaken. Think about when you were deposed as the crown prince, your grandfather immediately turned to support the third prince, except He himself has this hesitation, and it is more the attitude of the people around him that forces him to do so."

He Xichao narrowed his eyes when he said this: "Although grandfather is self-sufficient and has all kinds of problems, so far, he has put out Xiao Ming's thoughts, and he is supporting you, so you can't be influenced anymore."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Mrs. Quan, the housekeeper, must not be lost. She must fight the second lady to the end!" He Xichao said with firm eyes, "I have to see Sister Lingshan, only she can persuade the first lady."

Xiao Hong thought for a moment, then suddenly frowned and said: "But Xi Chao, if grandpa is forced by elder sister to hand over the housekeeping power to second wife, how can eldest aunt fight?"

"Then take this opportunity to completely pull grandfather from the position of Minister of War and replace him with our own people!" He Xi said with a cold light in his eyes.

When Xiao Hong heard the words, he was silently wow.

Although Erfang played a role in this whole matter, it was precisely they who really betrayed the He family and Wei Guogong.

If this can still hand over the housekeeping power to the second room, then not only is Wei Guogong's apology and friendship with He Xichao this time false, but everything he has shown in He Xichao for so many years is also false.

But as soon as he thought of these hypotheses, He Xichao shook his head.

"It's unlikely, no, it's impossible." He said affirmatively, "Erfangyang has violated so many times, challenging his bottom line again and again, and now there are no people who restrain He Mingrui. For his own authority, It is even more impossible for the second lady to be in charge of the house, and she will not even let her touch it. No matter how noble the eldest princess is, she is also his granddaughter-in-law. With the pressure of filial piety, grandfather will not be afraid at all. As long as the eldest lady is not timid, Grandpa will support her."

Speaking of this, He Xichao thought of Wei Guogong's disheartened and self-reproaching appearance last night, and he was alone with an old servant serving by his side, and suddenly sighed in his heart: "I believe my judgment, if He Mingrui is going to serve the sick at the hospital bed today, Instead of questioning, then he still has a chance, otherwise he will just fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain."

The eldest princess knelt down in front of Emperor Tiangan crying, "Although my daughter doesn't know much about government affairs, she also knows that Mrs. He has done something wrong, so she was punished to go to the family temple. This matter shouldn't be brought up by my daughter, but He Mingrui is my daughter." Husband-in-law, Mrs. He is the daughter's mother-in-law, and the daughter really can't sit idly by. If the second Mrs. He is still in the family temple when she gets married next month, where will she put her daughter's face? Is it because Wei Guogong doesn't value her daughter?"

After the eldest princess cried and complained, Emperor Tiangan's heart softened, he hesitated and said: "Danyang, get up, it's just that this is a private matter of Duke Wei's mansion, I don't want to interfere."

The eldest princess was anxious: "Father, my daughter can't just watch her mother-in-law suffer in the cold place of the family temple. Isn't this not a daughter's unfilial piety, and it will also affect the relationship between husband and wife with Mingrui. Please help my daughter Bar!"

No matter how angry Emperor Tiangan was and how dissatisfied he was with the He family, he had to think more about the marriage of the eldest daughter, let alone a woman with long hair and short knowledge.

This was his first married princess, and he didn't want her marriage to have a gap, so he agreed: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to Duke Wei's mansion."

"Thank you, Royal Father!" The Eldest Princess laughed through her tears and kowtowed to thank her.
