Chapter 250
Guo Xun was overjoyed when he heard the words in front, but when he heard the back, he shuddered violently. The marriage was only mentioned some time ago. Except for a few close friends, Guo Xun didn't tell anyone else. Why did the emperor take the initiative to confer marriage? What is the intention of the emperor to use Fu Tingzhou with his front foot and push Zhenyuanhou, Yongpinghou and Wudinghou to form an alliance with his back?
The more Guo Xun thought about it, the more terrified he became. After the emperor dealt with the affairs of Guo Xun's party, he looked at Zhang Jinggong again. Zhang Jinggong straightened his back, bowed his head and stood solemnly, knowing that the most important thing was coming.
The Qianqing Palace was so quiet that even the sound of dancing in the air could be heard, and the emperor's voice sounded slowly: "Xue Kan arrogantly proposed to establish a reserve and demote to the people. Peng Ze fabricated a trap, disrupted the court, and demoted Datong. Zhang Jing respectfully As the head and assistant, but he listens and believes, and is reckless and arbitrary, which makes Zhishi think at home."
Zhang Jinggong did not dare to refute a word, and apologized. For ordinary officials, dismissal is a major event, but as a chief assistant, dismissal and reinstatement is a matter of one sentence, it only depends on whether the superior is willing to continue to use you. There is room for the emperor's words. Obviously, although the emperor resents Zhang Jinggong for being stubborn and excluding dissidents, he still recognizes his ability.
After Zhang Jinggong entered the cabinet, he resolutely cleaned up the farmland, liquidated the land occupied by eunuchs and monks and temples, and did not hesitate to offend people and implemented a new system of electing people for the imperial examination. The emperor wanted to solve the land annexation, but this time he was deceived by Zhang Jinggong, lost face, and was angry. He suspended Zhang Jinggong and removed him from office.
Zhang Jinggong wanted to understand this, and heaved a sigh of relief. The emperor slapped everyone with kindness and beating before letting them out.
After everyone walked out of the Qianqing Palace, Guo Xun and Zhang Jinggong had been tearing each other for so long, and they had long disliked each other. Now Guo Xun's faction has been granted military power and marriage, but Zhang Jinggong has been suspended, Guo Xun is inevitably proud, and smiled and surrendered to Zhang Jinggong: "Zhang Gong has worked hard for a year, and now he can rest well, congratulations. It's a pity. There are many things at the end of the year, and I have a backlog of official business in the yamen, so I can't accompany Zhang Gong for entertainment. Zhang Gong forgive me, I will take a step first."
Zhang Jinggong looked at Guo Xun and sneered: "Marquis Wuding, please, I'm just a commoner now, and I don't dare to delay Marquis Wuding's time."
Guo Xunzhi left with satisfaction, Zhai Luan stepped forward to salute Zhang Jinggong, pretended to say something, and went back to the cabinet.
Zhang Jinggong walked alone in the Forbidden City, everyone was busy, but he was the only one who went out, and the eunuchs who came and went cast a vague look at Zhang Jinggong. Zhang Jinggong didn't care at all. His career went up and down several times. At the worst, he was almost killed by Yang Ting's liquidation. What is this turmoil now?
It's ridiculous that Guo Xun was very proud and thought that Zhang Jinggong's dismissal was his credit. Really stupid, the emperor did not wait for them to report the results of the investigation, and scolded them when he saw them. It can be seen that the emperor already knew the truth. It wasn't discovered by Guo Xun, so who could it be?
Guo Xun is just a knife in another person's hand. Walking in such a sensitive matter yet being able to retreat completely, hiding behind the scenes the whole time, Lu Heng is the truly terrifying person.
Chapter 83
In recent years, the wind is blowing, red lanterns are hung up in every household, and hawkers are pushing carts to sell New Year's goods in the streets and alleys. No matter what happens in the year, the new year is always here.
In the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, the servants also walked in a hurry, busy in and out. In December, Prince Aichong passed away. The emperor lost his mother and son this year. The emperor was so grieved that he ordered that there would be no festivals in the palace this year. This is the case inside the palace, and the nobles outside are also holding back their strength, for fear of attracting the emperor's taboo.
And Zhenyuan Hou's mansion is even more so. Although it is a good thing to give marriage, but the Hou Ye will go to war soon, the old lady and Mrs. Tai are really not happy, how can they have the mind to organize the New Year's banquet. In the main courtyard, Fu Tingzhou was waiting with the housekeeper to arrange the next manpower. Suddenly, there was a voice outside the window, and there was a lot of noise. After a long time, there was no rest. Fu Tingzhou glanced out lightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
A young servant walked in quickly and saluted Fu Tingzhou: "Master Hou, the old lady has sent someone here."
Fu Tingzhou sighed secretly, daring to ignore his rules, and the only one who couldn't get rid of him if he came uninvited was his mother. The Chen family has made trouble here, and Fu Tingzhou can't do it if he doesn't show up. Fu Tingzhou stood up, but walked very slowly. On the way, he said to the housekeeper: "After I leave, the affairs of the house will be arranged according to the arrangements I just said, especially those key parts, which cannot be changed no matter what. , you just say that this is what I'm here for."
The "someone" in Fu Tingzhou's words basically refers to his father Fu Chang and his mother Chen Shi. These two people are confused, but they are still more confident than the other. Maybe they will take over the affairs of the Hou Mansion "kindly" when Fu Tingzhou leaves Beijing. Fu Tingzhou didn't dare to let them take care of it. It would be better to let the servants make their own decisions than to let them be their advisors.
Fu Tingzhou was quite tired thinking of this. He was going to fight in Datong. The road ahead was difficult and dangerous, but he still had to worry about what was behind him. What's even more ironic is that it was not outsiders who caused him trouble, but his blood relatives.
If Qingqing was in the house, why would he be so constrained?
As soon as the idea came up, Fu Tingzhou quickly stopped. The housekeeper followed Fu Tingzhou and responded one by one, obviously knowing the virtues of his grandfather and old lady.
