Aunt Gu was sent away early in the morning.
As soon as the city gate opened, the Prime Minister's carriage had already left.
Aunt Gu, who was very popular in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was actually sent out of the city to the nunnery, saying that she was going to pray for the old lady and his wife.
This reason was still valid before. In order to minimize the impact of this matter, Aunt Gu specially asked people to exaggerate her filial piety, showing that she took the initiative to pray for the old lady's health.
But after what happened yesterday, this reason was shattered.
Aunt Gu was slapped by the old lady's order, and she was also dragged into the woodshed and locked up.
Of course, some people felt that even if Aunt Gu lost power this time, it would not be a big deal. Shortly after the Prime Minister came back, someone took Aunt Gu back to the yard and asked her to tidy up. After that, the Prime Minister went there specially After seeing her, he stayed at Aunt Gu's place that night.
All of this represents Aunt Gu's favor.
Madam... Madam is not favored by the prime minister. See Madam out of the city, and then see Aunt Gu out of the city?
That is to say, something happened to Concubine Kong because of Aunt Gu, so the prime minister had no choice but to do this, and he made it for the eyes of his wife and her natal family.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion had their own thoughts, and Jiang Xuncheng also presented a note about his request for Kong's life in the Imperial Study Room.
After the emperor read it, he put down the book without comment and said, "Is Jiang Aiqing asking for a royal decree for his wife?"
"Ashamed of me."
"Why should you be so ashamed? I heard that Jiang Aiqing's wife is also the daughter of Marquis Anxin. She has known etiquette since she was a child. Before she married Jiang Aiqing, she had an excellent reputation." The emperor said, "I was thinking about why Aiqing was there before. I won’t ask for orders from my wife.”
"I don't dare to abolish public service for personal reasons." Jiang Xuncheng said respectfully.
The reason is Jiang Jinxin's reason.
"I am very pleased that you, my dear, are dedicated to serving the country! It's just the affairs in the house that you should also pay attention to. How can you sweep the world if you don't clean one house?"
"What the emperor said is that I was busy with official duties and messed up the family affairs." Jiang Xuncheng's face was full of shame.
"The Prince of Huai'an County will be coming over soon, and you two should talk it over clearly if you have anything to do." The emperor suggested.
"Yes, Wei Chen will definitely explain it to Prince Huai'an."
"Okay, you asked for this edict, and so did your daughter. Since it is your wish, I will prepare the edict. It is Jiang Aiqing's second daughter..."
The emperor pondered for a moment before continuing: "Although she only wanted to beg for your wife's life and was willing to give the credit for saving the sixth prince to your wife, after all, she still lost something. I mean, Jiang Aiqing My second daughter also received a reward, what does Jiang Aiqing think?"
"Your Majesty, I am young and do not dare to take credit." Jiang Xuncheng said hurriedly.
"My beloved daughter is indeed young, but has she ever been promised a marriage?" the emperor asked.
"My daughter is young."
"Okay, I won't care about this. When your wife comes to the palace to express her gratitude, the queen will have another favor." The emperor said, this so-called favor should be specially sent to Jiang Jinxin.
"I thank you for your kindness." Jiang Xuncheng burst into tears of gratitude, his eyes were red, and he knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Get up!"
"I thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Jiang Xuncheng stood up excitedly.
The emperor was quite satisfied with being so moved by him. He waved his hand and said, "Jiang Aiqing, please go down first. This family matter must be properly handled."
Knowing that the last sentence was a warning from the emperor, Jiang Xuncheng responded repeatedly and carefully backed out of the door.
As soon as I got outside the door, I heard a cold snort. I looked up and saw two people coming outside. The first one was quite old but in good spirits. He was the right minister of the government, also known as the Zhou Dynasty Prime Minister.
The person standing next to him with a bad expression was the Prince of Huai'an.
"I've met Prime Minister Zhou and Prince Huai'an." Jiang Xuncheng suppressed the gratitude on his face, smiled slightly, and his expression returned to calmness.
Prime Minister Zhou nodded kindly, looking like the old man next door. Of course, this was just an appearance, but Jiang Xuncheng really felt that he, the left prime minister, was being suppressed tightly, not even a trace of it. Don't dare to move at will.
The left prime minister and the right prime minister, although the left prime minister is a little bit worse, the difference is not much to outsiders, but in fact the difference between the two people is not just a little bit, it is a huge difference.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang knows me!" The King of Huai'an County sneered.
Jiang Xuncheng bowed his head to the king of Huai'an County and said, "When something happened in the house before, I was not there. When I went back, I scolded the concubine in the house. I was locked up in the woodshed for the whole night last night and was sent to the outside of the city early this morning. At the nunnery, when my wife is in better health, I will bring her to the house to apologize."
"The mistake your concubine made, let the wife of the wife accompany you? Jiang Xiang's behavior is really... amazing." The prince of Huai'an County said with a smile.
"This matter is all my fault. It's just that my concubine has been kicked out of the house. When the concubine is well, I will ask her to apologize." Jiang Xuncheng changed his words and made things right again.
He is lucky to be the prime minister, but I have to say that he reacts quickly, and this sounds appropriate.
Normally, he would say this, and he would do so in a low voice. This matter must at least be over first, but the Prince of Huai'an County is not that ordinary person.
"Where is the eldest son in the house? He is still Mrs. Jiang's adopted son, right? What is the use of such an adopted son?"
Jiang Xuncheng smiled bitterly: "This child is grounded now..."
"Xiang Jiang, the child can't survive without spanking. It's been like this, but he's still just grounded?" Prince Huai'an interrupted him rudely, "I don't know if Concubine Kong is okay yet. The imperial doctor said she still needs to be observed. Observe, if there is really something... bad, I will never let him go like this."
Does this mean that you will not give up?
Jiang Xuncheng's anger suddenly hit him, and he felt angry.
My son is my biological son, how could I allow others to slander him like this?
"Prince Huai'an, I already reprimanded him when I got back." After calming down, this was not the time for an attack, so I could only suppress the anger in my heart.
"Have you scolded him? Jiang Xiang is really kind." Prince Huai'an mocked unceremoniously, flicking his sleeves, "Next time I come to your house, if I accidentally hit the young master in your house, Jiang Xiang will also scold him. Just a few words from me will do."
Jiang Xuncheng's face turned red and his eyes darkened.
"Just throw away an adopted son who is a white-eyed wolf who is not well-raised! How about I find a suitable adopted son for you?" Prince Huai'an suggested.
"I don't dare bother Prince Huai'an."
"Why are you so polite between us?" Prince Huai'an said nonchalantly.
"You two, the emperor announced that I am here, so I will go in first." Prime Minister Zhou looked at this one, then looked at the other one, and said with a smile.
"Please, Mr. Zhou."
The two people stopped and stretched out their hands.
Zhou Xiang nodded to them again before turning into the main hall.
Outside the palace, Prince Huai'an's face suddenly darkened, and he stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Xuncheng. Before Jiang Xuncheng could react, he was already being pulled down the steps and to the side...
