While grateful to Lin Xi for uncovering the other party's crime, he was also dissatisfied with the emperor for not dealing with Xiao Chunhe who helped his son hide the crime.
After traveling around many times, he became close to the Duke's Mansion.
There are also some people who were promoted by the Queen Mother.
The last part are officials with eccentric temperaments who refuse to follow their rules. As for those who were not from aristocratic families, they were marginalized as petty officials on the fringes of the imperial court.
Although the grade is not high, there are a lot of them.
In addition to his relationship with the Duke's Mansion, He Chirang was also of ordinary origin and passed the imperial examination.
At the beginning, he was not afraid of power and strictly investigated the case of "killing good people and impersonating public servants", which made many officials admire him.
Now how do these people keep their heads above water?
Compared with the aristocratic family that has repeatedly suppressed them, they are closer to the British duke who has been guarding the border for many years.
The civil servants of the aristocratic family once impeached Liang Jing'an for supporting his troops and respecting himself, and his achievements were great. It was a pity that the emperor had deep trust in him, so he only scolded him a few times each time and then let it go without any pain.
I'm afraid that the emperor wants to show off today, so he has to think carefully.
With the current power of the Duke's government, it is not difficult to subvert the world...
Then why not go to Emperor Zhou to express your love and accuse Lin Xi of being unruly?
Today, I can rely on her to defeat the third prince of Li Kingdom. There are a lot of external worries at the moment, and I doubt the emperor would want to see them frame each other.
What if she goes crazy?
Then again, how can external troubles be as important as internal troubles?
The third prince of Li Kingdom will leave sooner or later, and at worst he can promise some benefits.
Both the left and right are funded by the treasury, without harming their interests.
The situation was different in the Duke's Mansion... With such a powerful person over their heads, it was hard for them to sleep peacefully at night.
What's more, Liang Jing'an is a rigid and business-oriented person, so it is difficult to win over him.
It was precisely because of his personality that the civil servants of the aristocratic family were very unhappy with him.
Now think about it and compare it with Lin Xi's style. In fact, Liang Jing'an is quite nice.
At least he's very reasonable and won't mess around...
——
Lin Xi returned to the Duke's Mansion with the reward.
She was in a good mood today, after all, she had gained a lot.
Lin Yanhe was waiting outside the palace, but Shan Wu, who had already heard what happened today, had a sullen face.
No joy or sorrow can be seen, revealing the clearness that "the matter has been settled at this point."
In this much understanding, there are also a few vicissitudes of life.
Texue looked up and down: "Did the eldest lady behave badly today? I saw tea stains on her skirt."
Shan Wu glanced at it, hesitated to speak, and finally stopped.
Keeping an expressionless face is the basic quality of a guard. He looks cold and cool, and can also appear to be more skilled.
But at this moment he was asking frantically in my mind.
Is this because the skirt is dirty?
"Ah, no, no, someone else's hand slipped and broke the cup, and I accidentally got a little bit of it. The emperor also rewarded me with a thousand pieces of gold." Lin Xi said as she secretly stuffed the tea cup hidden in her sleeve into the quilt.
In addition to the bonus, she also secretly took a commission herself!
At least one hundred taels can be sold!
Of course, Tuxue cannot know this, after all, in the eyes of the other party, this is a violation. Disgraceful.
Although Taxue was suspicious, he also knew that he would not hear the truth from the eldest lady.
She said a few casual greetings and then withdrew.
A quarter of an hour later, she stopped Lin Yan outside the yard and asked him.
Lin Yan pretended to sigh deeply: "Not only is my sister unable to eat, but she also makes everyone unable to eat."
How do men grow up quickly? As long as there is a sister who can get into more trouble than him.
The key is that we can't beat it yet.
Taxue: "..."
It can't be what she thinks...
Seeing the young master's expression, she had no luck at all.
It seems that's what she thought.
Tomorrow Shan Wu would go to the pawn shop to resell things, but she still pretended not to know as usual.
What’s more, the Duke’s Palace was established.
——
Lu Yan said he was ill and did not attend the banquet today because he had his own considerations.
Envoys from Li Guo and Beichen were both there, and he was worried that someone would recognize him.
Maybe Li Guo had an undercover agent hiding in the Zhao Palace and had seen his face. Even if the probability is very small.
The Zhou Kingdom was completely different. The royal family and aristocratic families of the Zhou Kingdom were greedy for pleasure and were constantly fighting among themselves.
Others are knocking on the door, and they are eager to make peace and cede territory before deciding whether to win or lose.
The probability is naturally much smaller.
It is said that Zhou Guo's prosperity is due to its strong foundation, and the past ten years have been smooth.
If the current situation persists for a few more decades, successive monarchs who come to power will not be able to use thunderous means.
I'm afraid that the emperor's edict may not be able to order the vassal kings and important officials of the family.
Then the country is not far from being destroyed.
Lu Yan walked out of the house in a low-key manner. After walking around a few times to make sure that no one was following him, he went to meet his men who had been waiting for a long time.
The Beimo tribe was exterminated that year, and some survivors came to the Zhou Kingdom.
Lu Yan was not idle, and conquered all the people who could be used by him one by one.
Among these people who left their hometowns, some of them changed their names after joining aristocratic families.
The highest he reached was the fourth grade civil servant of Zhou Guocong.
Lu Wenchuan, the General Counselor, was unable to attend today's reception banquet because his rank was too low.
However, he had his own source of information. As soon as the banquet ended, he knew what happened today.
The young lady from the Duke's Mansion who stirred up the storm was the wife of the sixth prince.
Doubts abounded in his heart, with such a terrifying woman lying beside him... Aren't the Sixth Prince afraid?
Lu Yan was quite surprised after hearing what happened at today's banquet.
But when I think about Lin Xi's personality, I feel that it is reasonable.
It's quite cute, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see the moment when she used the sword to scare people.
Lu Wenchuan saw the other party's calm expression and hesitated: "Will this affect our plan?"
Although he was adopted by the Lu family, his adopted son was different from his biological son after all. Even if he is more talented, he can only be an official of the fourth rank.
The Lu family's support for him to rise to power was just to get what he needed. All matters that were not brought to light were left to him to handle, treating him as a slave.
If something happens one day, he will naturally be the one to take charge, and the people of the Lu family won't have to lose their skin at all.
In such a situation, if he could not make a difference in the Zhou Kingdom, he might as well follow the Sixth Prince back to the Zhao Kingdom to seek a future.
Lu Yan said firmly: "No, everything will be the same as before."
For this plan, he mobilized all his subordinates in the capital, and also transferred a group of experts from the State of Zhao.
After this incident, it was time for him to return to Zhao Kingdom.

Lin Xi was taking a closer look at the cups, silently evaluating them in her mind, when Lu Yan walked in from outside.
Lin Xi had too much to eat at the palace today, so she got off the car and walked for a while.
Lu Yan came back before her. He was reading the account book in the study just now. This was his daily business.
She raised her head and glanced at the person, and said in a calm voice: "I heard that you went out today. I worked hard to make money by performing in the palace, and you still don't want to run around in the room."
Without waiting for an answer, he asked again: "Did you do something bad behind my back? I excused you from going to the banquet because you were feeling unwell. It would be bad if someone caught you wandering around."
Lu Yan: "I promise no one will bump into me. I won't cause any trouble to you."
Lin Xi glanced at the person suspiciously.
This guy is really weird everywhere today.
She wanted to choose a husband with a good mind, but his mind turned too fast. That doesn't seem appropriate either.
But I can’t regret it now…
