Outside Qingyang City, as the representative of the Li family's relatives behind Gongzi Zhuo and the father-in-law of Princess Qinghe, General Li Fu and his son Li Li were transferred from the capital at the same time and were sent to other places to take up their posts.
Young Master Zhuo also had a dejected look on his face after he was deposed as a commoner. He had long lost the majesty and confidence of walking sideways in the past. He heard that his uncle and cousin were going to work in other places, so he came here specially. This is a gift.
When General Li Fu saw Young Master Zhuo coming to see him off, he was cold-faced and indifferent to his good-for-nothing nephew. He knew very well that he was actually indirectly implicated by Young Master Zhuo and was sent to another place by the emperor to take up a post. , As for the reason, discerning people inside and outside the government can see why. It is a flat transfer, rather than an exile. As long as central officials are released, even if they are flat, it is actually similar to a demotion. Once they leave the core of power, it will be difficult. I'm back.
When Prince Zhuo saw that his uncle Li Fu ignored him, he had no choice but to go to Princess Qinghe's consort, cousin Li Li, to answer with a sullen look.
Li Li was still chatting and laughing with his useless cousin as usual. Before Li Li became the consort, the relationship between the two of them was pretty good in the past. Both of them were fun-loving people, but Li Li was married to the royal family. Later, my temper became much calmer.
After Li Fu said goodbye to his colleagues who were seeing him off outside the city, he turned around and saw his son talking and laughing with the young master Zhuo. He said coldly: "It's getting late. Let's go. You are no longer a boss. Don't be like those idle people." The hooligans mix together to avoid insulting the family tradition of our Li family."
Hearing this, Li Li awkwardly confessed to Prince Zhuo, then mounted his horse and followed Li Fu.
When Young Master Zhuo heard this, his face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and he did not dare to reply. He came to see off his uncle with good intentions, but was accused of slandering Huai, and was called a hooligan. In the past, Li Fu would never dare to do it in front of him. This is the case, but to this day, Gongzi Zhuo has been stripped of his noble status as a descendant of the clan and has become a commoner. In fact, his status is still inferior to that of Li Fu and others. Li Fu is at least an official of the court, and his status is actually still higher than that of Gongzi Zhuo. This commoner is several levels higher.
Young Master Zhuo saw that Li Fu was about to leave. After all, he was his uncle. Out of courtesy, he stepped forward and said goodbye to Li Fu and the others: "My nephew, I would like to send you my uncle."
But the only response he received was a cold snort from Li Fu, who rode away without even looking at him.
At this moment, the young master Zhuo felt lost. His immaturity and years of willfulness had almost cost him everything. His mother was relegated to the cold palace. His relatives not only stayed away from him, but also made sarcastic remarks, even going to drink and eat meat with them. Seeing that he was demoted to a commoner, all his friends and friends also kept a distance from him. He lost Li Furao's protection. This was the first time he felt what it meant to be betrayed and separated from relatives.
Young Master Zhuo looked around, but there was no one around him. He suddenly burst out laughing, and then started crying...
The envoys of all nations were also delayed for several times due to the Huadeng Street incident. At this time, in the post house, Zhennan Wang Musheng received some news from the capital's secret agent Leqi.
He opened the secret letter and read it word for word. He understood in his heart and said to himself: "Young Master Zhuo is really unlucky. This may be just the beginning..."
The content of the secret letter is naturally that the young master Zhuo was deposed as a concubine, and the Li family's relatives were also cleared out of the court. But then again, the Huadengfang incident, the young master Zhuo Chun just brought it upon himself, and he could not blame others. The higher his status. , the less brainless you are, the easier it is for something to happen, and when something does happen, it’s usually a big deal.
Mu Sheng understood that this was the emperor's beginning to clear the obstacles for An Guojun's future smooth succession, and it was only the beginning. The relatives and forces behind each prince would probably be sent out of the capital with various excuses, including those who were more powerful than others. He was also the influence of the underage prince's relatives.
In the end, there will only be two factions left in Qingyang, the Yang family's relatives behind Gongzi Xiu, and the officials who support Gongzi Xiu's succession. Of course, they must be loyal to the emperor first, and apart from that, they can choose to take sides.
In fact, there is no need for the emperor to go to such trouble. He has to drive all the relatives and forces out of the capital. As long as he directly appoints Young Master Xiu as the crown prince, the succession will be justifiable, everyone will be convinced, and there will be no chance for a caring person to take over the throne. The heart comes.
In fact, Mu Sheng also knew very well that the emperor's heart was not set on establishing a prince. The Taiji Palace Incident had greatly stimulated the emperor. At that time, he was almost kidnapped by the prince to order the princes. The emperor was afraid that the prince would change if he Xiu. After all, becoming the second prince with a big tail is to maintain the emperor's own authority, so as not to accidentally become bedridden with a headache and fever, and suddenly be forced to become the "overlord".
If the nature is more serious, the emperor may have to adapt to the situation and be forced to die early to make room for the new emperor, because the group of heroes behind the new emperor are eager to share the cake, and they may not have the patience to wait for the old emperor to die. , since ancient times, despite being rich and powerful, the emperor is actually a high-risk profession with an average lifespan of no more than forty years. In later Chinese history, more than 400 emperors in the 24 dynasties died abnormally. Accounting for more than one-third, it can be seen that...
At this time, Diya Melissa entered the room. Seeing Mu Sheng looking at the letter in his hand in a daze, she walked up to Mu Sheng and said coquettishly: "Husband, accompany me to the Lantern Festival. We will go back in a few days. , I really don’t know how long it will take to come here.”
Mu Sheng sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's go right away. You, it's true that beauty is a curse..."
He no longer dared to leave his beautiful wife alone. It was not his territory, otherwise someone would take advantage of her and cause many troubles.
In Qingyang City, the diplomatic team of the Southern Xinjiang International Missions marched through the streets of the capital. Today is the day when the missions return home.
The procession was outside the gate of Qingyang City. Princess Yuan'an's motorcade also slowly followed the procession of King Zhennan. They were just waiting to follow Mu Sheng back to the mountain to formally get married. Behind the carriage were five carriages of the princess getting married. The court Various kinds of fine gold and silver were rewarded, and there were also five carts of gold and silver treasures given to King Zhennan alone during this trip.
Mu Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, superpowers are different, the rewards are so generous. This trip can catch up to the total tax revenue of the treasury for a year. Unexpectedly, after getting such auspiciousness, the emperor would reward him so generously? It's so exciting. If it weren't for the imperial court's requirement that vassal states pay tribute only once every three years, he would have loved to lead a team to the Central Plains to collect wool every year, and change his tricks every year to fabricate all kinds of auspiciousness for the emperor. The prosperity of the mountain puppets depends on the imperial court. ,Hahaha……
The envoys from all over the world arrived at the city gate, and Lord An Guo led the civil and military officials to send the members of the southern Xinjiang envoy back home.
As the head of the mission, Mu Sheng saw An Guojun coming to see him off, so he stepped forward and said, "I would be very grateful to you, An Guojun, for bothering me to send him off."
Young Master Xiu said with a smile: "King Zhennan, you're welcome. This is my duty. I'll say goodbye today. If I don't treat you well, please let me know, my lord, Haihan!"
Mu Sheng stepped forward to greet him and said: "You are so polite, Lord An. I am very satisfied with your hospitality. Jin Dynasty is worthy of being called a state with rich products and a land of etiquette. It is an eye-opener for me. Your Majesty has rewarded me with the property, and also I am extremely grateful to you for marrying Princess Yuan'an. I always cherish your kindness and am driven by Your Majesty."
The two of them were polite and businesslike, and Young Master Xiu sent someone to bring him a cup of royal wine and offered it to him, saying with some instructions: "Your Majesty, please, this is the royal wine treasured in the palace. I would like to express my apology to you on behalf of my brother Zhuo. "
After hearing this, Mu Sheng took the royal wine and drank with Young Master Xiu, and said politely: "Mr. An, please don't worry. I am such a coward. Young Master Zhuo has already personally apologized to this King. This matter is considered to be exposed." After that, I will never affect the relationship between the two countries at this time."
Mu Sheng knew in his heart that Gongzi Xiu was not really apologizing. The subtext was that he was grateful to the King of Zhennan for helping him defeat Gongzi Zhuo. When he said goodbye, he expressed his gratitude by sending the royal wine. , he recognized this favor.
When Mu Sheng saw that the time had come, he bowed his hands to Young Master Xiu and said goodbye: "Mr. An Guo, please stay. I will return to my country now. I'll see you later, Mr. An Guo."
"My king, walk slowly."
With a smile on his face, Young Master Xiu led a group of ministers to bid farewell to the envoys from all nations...
After the team traveled dozens of miles, the outline of the capital city was no longer visible. Mu Sheng sighed in his heart that this was the second time that Young Master Xiu had sent him away from the capital. Today, his status is just different...
