Mrs. Wang was not too old originally, but now she has turned nearly half of her hair gray. It is probably because of this incident that she became anxious.
And after all, Gao Changhuan brought this disaster to the Wang family.
The Wang family would not go to the Gao family because Gao Changhuan said he had broken up with the Gao family. The Wang family was in such a situation that it was not easy for the Gao family to laugh anymore, so they went to the Cheng family in a roundabout way.
In fact, everyone knew about the relationship between Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Xiuwen. In addition, Cheng Jingzhou was also a representative of the younger generation of officials and indeed had real power in his hands. Therefore, Mrs. Wang felt that it would be easier to talk to Xie Rongzhao.
In the end, Xie Rongzhao agreed to help and asked, but did not dare to say anything.
Cheng Jingzhou didn't find anything embarrassing.
"The Wang family's matter is not a big one. Once the title is reduced, it is impossible to get it back. He should be fine, and he will probably be released in the next few days. I will ask His Highness the Fifth Prince tomorrow. He is staring at this right now. It’s about something.”
When Cheng Jingzhou said this, Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up slightly: "The Fifth Highness is responsible?"
"Well, the Holy Spirit is not in good spirits now, so I sent him to keep an eye on him. But you are a female family member, so you better not come forward on this matter. I will just go and tell His Highness the Fifth Prince. As long as it is not a big deal, letting him go is not a problem."
"That's fine. Just don't let His Highness the Fifth think that you don't distinguish between public and private affairs."
"Won't."
Cheng Jingzhou's words were not just words. That night, Xie Rongzhao sent someone to greet the Wang family, saying that they should be released in a day or two. He didn't say much else.
With this alone, he won a lot of gratitude from Mrs. Wang.
Xie Rongzhao also sent a letter to the Weixin Hou Mansion, mainly to let Gao know.
Mrs. Gao also felt that her niece was unkind and had tricked the Wang family into this situation.
In fact, the only people from the Wang family involved in this matter were Wang Hansheng and Gao Changhuan.
Gao Changhuan accepted the benefits from Princess Fu, while Wang Hansheng spoke for Prince Fu everywhere and recruited many scholars and talents for him.
As for Wang Hansheng himself, he didn’t try too hard to rely on Prince Fu’s Mansion. It can also be said that he is self-aware. When it comes to knowledge, he is far behind those serious scholars. In terms of status, he is just a person with no real shortcomings. He is the heir apparent of the Earl's Mansion, so he has never dared to move forward.
It's a good thing that he always has such self-awareness, otherwise, his life will probably be in prison.
The title of the Wang family was gone, and Wang Hansheng was still involved. The atmosphere in the Wang family was naturally depressed.
After this incident, Wang Hansheng finally came to his senses. Fortunately, he only took the title, and his father's official position was still there. He should try his best to see if he could get a meritorious title.
As for Gao Changhuan, Wang Hansheng divorced him without hesitation at all.
Because Gao Changhuan accepted the benefits of Princess Fu, the Wang family was searched twice, and most of the things belonging to Gao Changhuan were taken away by officials. After it was found out, only a small part was returned, and most of it was returned. Charged into the national treasury.
Gao Changhuan arrived at the door of his house in a daze with the remaining dowry, but he couldn't muster the courage to knock on the door for a long time.
There are now only two of her dowry servants left.
Two personal slaves were also captured. Although they were released, they were both tortured. One died as soon as he came out, and the other was seriously injured in bed.
They had suffered such a big sin because of her. Even though Gao Changhuan was no longer a thing, it was not easy for them to embarrass others. He just returned their bond of sale, which was regarded as a free life.
In addition, there were a few servants who ran away and redeemed themselves.
It's not easy to still have two people willing to accompany her now.
The Gao family finally opened the door and let her in.
But since then, the capital has never heard any news about Gao Changhuan.
Xie Rongzhao was not familiar with her in the first place, so naturally he would not take the initiative to inquire.
This time everyone in the Wang family came back safely, but Mrs. Wang fell ill after crying profusely.
I have been too anxious and worried these days. Now that I see people are fine, I feel relieved and the pain will come.
Even though she was sick, she didn't forget to send someone a big gift to the Cheng Mansion to express her gratitude.
This is the behavior of a serious mistress.
In the blink of an eye, in November, Emperor Jingwen suddenly issued an order to establish a prince.
There is no doubt that the fifth prince Li Heng was established as the prince and moved to the East Palace.
Now, Xie Xiuwen's official position as the Crown Prince and Tutor was worthy of his name.
After Emperor Jingwen, many state affairs were handed over to the prince to handle. Although the work was easy, his body was obviously lighter than before.
Xie Xiuwen is still the same as before, what to do and what to do. Some major issues are undecided, and he still has to ask His Majesty for instructions.
Even if His Majesty said that he would hand it over to the Crown Prince for negotiation, Xie Xiuwen would still come to the Holy See.
This seemed like a unnecessary move, but it was very useful to Emperor Jingwen. He felt that he had seen him correctly, and that his cultivation over the years had not been in vain.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the Turks invaded from the north and the border was in crisis.
It is related to the safety of the country. Xie Xiuwen, Cheng Jingzhou and other important ministers have to live and eat in the palace for several days and nights. In addition to the saints dispatching troops and generals, other civil servants are also responsible for corresponding logistics matters. At the same time, we have to pay attention to some internal situations in the Turks. In short, they are very busy.
In comparison, Father Cheng, who worked in the Imperial College, had it much easier.
He basically works from nine to five, and he doesn't even need to go to court. How relaxed and comfortable!
Cheng Jingzhou is now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Naturally, he and Shangguan are responsible for the money and food issues. As for other related weapons and other military supplies, the Ministry of War also has to communicate with the Ministry of Household Affairs. In short, they are busy.
Xie Xiuwen paid more attention. Xie Rongen was already on the battlefield. At this time, he was probably about to reach the border.
Not sure if he could come back safely this time, Xie Xiuwen thought of his third brother who was still in his hometown, and felt sad in his heart.
It was good to win honor for the family, but he wanted his children to live well.
Cheng Jingzhou has been busy here for several days. Not only has he lost a lot of weight, he also has a stubble, which makes him feel distressed just looking at him.
Xie Rongzhao knew that the most expensive thing in a war was money, but she could do nothing.
Although she has money, compared with the money needed by the court, it is like water flowing into the sea, and she can't even hear a sound.
Moreover, if a country wants to function normally, it is impossible to just ask ministers to collect donations. This is true, unless the rats starve to death in the empty space of the treasury.
"The Ministry of Revenue still has money, but food is a little tight. At present, if the military rations from the Ministry of Revenue are sent over, it can last for about two months. If it goes any longer, there will be problems with this food."
