Bai Yuxian's guess was indeed correct.
The sun has already set on the Wuhou Mansion, and Bai Zheng's position in the court has long been in jeopardy. There are many people who want to completely overthrow Bai Zheng and the entire Wuhou Mansion.
After all, the interests of the entire court are so huge, one carrot and another pit. If Bai Zheng and Wuhou Mansion can be pulled down and overthrown, then the profit and fat originally belonging to Wuhou Mansion can naturally be divided up.
Not to mention other things, Bai Zheng's position as Minister of Rites is the one that attracts the most prying eyes.
But if Bai Zheng is not brought down, how will those of them who are snooping have a chance to rise to power?
Therefore, on the morning of the next day, many civil and military ministers in the court, headed by the Marquis of Wei, used the matter of Bai Yusheng, the original Bai Wen, Bai Wu, and even the dead Bai Yu to criticize Bai Zheng and even the entire The Wuhou Mansion initiated an impeachment petition.
First, there was the incident between Bai Wen and Bai Wu. They molested and robbed a girl in the street and even got angry and beat them to death when someone stopped them. No one in the capital or at the feet of the emperor dared to be so lawless.
Then again, this time Bai Yusheng had an affair with a maid and got pregnant, but he didn't dare to admit it and forced her to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well and even turned into a ghost to come for revenge. Although the maid was from Wuhou Mansion, no matter how she dealt with it, she was still Wuhou. It is a government matter, but the impact of this matter is huge, and it is also a huge scandal.
And the dead Bai Yu was undoubtedly a scandal because he was haunted by a lecherous evildoer.
And after calculating this, among the four direct descendants of the younger generation of the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion, none of them can stay out of the matter. They are all rotten fish and shrimps.
Countless civil and military ministers used this as an excuse to impeach Bai for his incompetence as a politician and his failure to educate his children, thereby impeaching and doubting the virtue of Bai Zheng and even the entire Wuhou Mansion. In the end, it even directly rose to slander the entire court and believed that the entire Wuhou The affairs of the Fubai family are a kind of smear and damage to the image of the entire court.
Among them, the Weihou Mansion, which had completely lost face with the Wuhou Mansion because of the Bai Wen and Bai Wu affairs, directly impeached and petitioned to remove Bai Zheng from his official position and even the title of the Wuhou Mansion, believing that Bai Zheng was not worthy of the entire Wuhou Mansion. , it simply brought shame to the entire Tang Dynasty.
The entire early dynasty seemed to be an impeachment meeting against Bai Zheng and Wuhou Mansion.
Bai Zheng looked pale and could not say a word.
No one in the court spoke up for Bai Zheng.
As for Han Su, he simply claimed to be sick and asked for leave today and did not go to court at all.
As the current Shaoqing of Dali Temple and being able to find opportunities to gain a relationship with Li Linfu and be promoted back to Beijing after being demoted to Lingnan, Han Su's political ability and political wisdom are absolutely unquestionable.
After Bai Yusheng's incident broke out and spread in the capital, Han Su had basically anticipated this situation.
But as the brother-in-law of Wuhou Mansion, he has this kind of affection. If he were in the court, watching many civil and military ministers impeaching Bai Zheng without speaking out would definitely be difficult for him, and the Wuhou Mansion would definitely feel unhappy. Comfortable, but out of his own interests, he definitely can't help Bai Zheng at this time.
Therefore, in order to avoid getting into an embarrassing situation, Han Su simply called for sick leave in advance.
As long as he is not in the court, no matter what happens in the court, it will definitely have nothing to do with him.
As for Bai Yuxian, it goes without saying.
For Bai Yuxian, unless something happened or the emperor sent an order to summon him to go to court, it was Bai Yuxian's normal state not to go to court.
As for Bai Yusheng's matter, Li Longji had naturally heard about it.
The result can be imagined. Originally, the incident of Bai Wen and Bai Wu made Li Longji's impression of Wuhou Mansion extremely bad. As a result, the incident of Bai Wen and Bai Wu has not yet passed. A few days ago, Bai Yusheng was revealed in Wuhou Mansion. With such scandals, Li Longji himself felt that the noble nobleman of Wuhou Mansion had embarrassed the court and the emperor.
Therefore, in the face of the impeachment of the civil and military ministers, Li Longji also directly dealt with Bai Zheng.
Suspended!
Although Li Longji did not directly dismiss Bai Zheng from office or even remove the title of Wuhou Mansion as many civil and military ministers impeached.
But as soon as this suspension came out, it basically announced the future fate of Bai Zheng and Wuhou Mansion.
Unless there is some shocking reversal in the future of Bai Zheng or Wuhou Mansion, Bai Zheng and Wuhou Mansion will basically be declared to be completely relegated to the sidelines, and it will be basically impossible for Bai Zheng to be reinstated.
The reason why Li Longji did not directly remove Bai Zheng from his position but only suspended him was basically to give Bai Zheng and Wuhou Mansion the last dignity.
Next, if Wuhou Mansion makes any mistakes or encounters a little trouble, I am afraid that what awaits is disaster.
——
Bai Zheng was suspended.
soon.
As the morning comes to an end.
The news spread throughout the capital like a hurricane.
"My husband is really good at predicting events. Now, the Wuhou Mansion may really be exhausted."
In Tiance Mansion, the Xiangling girls who received the news couldn't help but sighed with shock.
"Over the years, the Wuhou Mansion has been deteriorating day by day. It is all supported by my uncle. However, the other people in the mansion are still immersed in the glory of the Hou family and do not want to make progress. Now that my uncle has been suspended, this For Wuhou Mansion, it really is." Han Shiyin sighed.
"Wuhou Mansion, the sky is falling."
The entire Tiance Mansion was shocked, and they instantly realized how serious Bai Zheng's suspension was to the entire Wuhou Mansion.
To put it bluntly, Bai Zheng's suspension was probably the beginning and precursor to the overthrow of the Wuhou Mansion.
Although Bai Zheng is now nominally suspended rather than directly dismissed from office, the title of Wuhou Mansion is still there.
But everyone who understands knows it.
Bai Zheng's suspension this time already represents the emperor's attitude towards the Wuhou Mansion.
Next, as long as Wuhou Mansion makes another mistake or encounters a slight storm, it may be in danger of overturning.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky has fallen for the Wuhou Mansion when Bai Zheng was suspended.
Fortunately, their Tiance Mansion has long been independent from Wuhou Mansion, and with the presence of Bai Yuxian, compared to the crumbling Wuhou Mansion, their Tiance Mansion is as stable as a mountain.
Thinking of this, the entire Tiance Mansion couldn't help but feel relieved, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a touch of pride and superiority.
For the entire Wuhou Mansion, Bai Zheng's suspension was indeed a sign that the sky had fallen.
As Bai Zheng returned to Wuhou's mansion in despair.
Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang and the entire Wuhou Mansion learned about the situation in the early morning and the news of Bai Zheng's suspension. Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang and others also felt like a bolt from the blue.
Old Taijun Bai rolled his eyes on the spot, staggered and almost fell over on the spot. Fortunately, he was supported by the maid, Bai Feifeng and others next to him in time.
Mrs. Wang also turned pale for a moment, because she suddenly realized that in the past, she had always thought about how to make her son Bai Yusheng the future heir of Wuhou Mansion so that he could inherit Wuhou Mansion and control the Bai family, but she never thought about it. However, if Wuhou Mansion no longer exists, what else can Bai Yusheng inherit?
Even these people, where will they go, and what fate will await them.
Under the overturned nest, there are no eggs left.
"Zheng'er, how could this happen?!"
Mrs. Bai, who almost fainted, came back to her senses after being supported. She couldn't help but look at Bai Zheng and asked.
How could this be?
When Bai Zheng heard this, he felt extremely exhausted physically and mentally. If it weren't for the continuous thunderstorms of these people in his family that held him back, how could he have ended up in this situation.
Originally, he was walking on thin ice and struggling in the court, but as a result, there were a group of people behind him who were holding him back.
"Today in the court, many civil and military officials including the Marquis of Wei and others impeached me for my incompetence in running a family, my ability to raise children, and my lack of moral integrity based on the previous incidents of Bai Wen and Bai Wu, as well as yesterday's incident of Yusheng. Your Majesty also ordered me to be temporarily suspended. "
"This! This! This!."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai could not help but staggered again, but she was speechless.
As the saying goes, cultivating one's moral character, harmonizing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world.
If you can't even manage your own family well, how can you manage the world well?
Nowadays, Bai Wen, Bai Wu and Bai Yusheng are born in Wuhou Mansion.
The civil and military ministers in the court used this to impeach Bai Zheng, and there was really nothing wrong with him at all.
But over the years, their Wuhou Mansion has been declining, and they have been barely supported by Bai Zheng alone in the court. Apart from this, there is no one else in the entire Wuhou Mansion family.
Under such circumstances, now that Bai Zheng has been suspended, what will they do in the Wuhou Mansion in the future? Will there be no one in the court at all?
But as a noble nobleman of a noble family, but there is not even a single person in the court, can this noble family still be regarded as a noble family? Even if it is temporary, how long can it last?
For a moment, a huge panic emerged in Old Taijun Bai's heart.
At the same time, for the first time, I couldn't help but feel regret.
I regret that I was too doting on Bai Yusheng in the past.
He even regretted not taking good care of Bai Yusheng, Bai Wen, Bai Wu and other younger direct descendants of his family, the head of Wuhou Palace.
If she had been properly disciplined early on, even if she could not become a talented person, she probably would not have gotten into such a big disaster like she did now.
How could Wuhou Mansion end up in the current situation.
But unfortunately, all regrets are too late.
Mrs. Wang also became frightened and couldn't help but look at Bai Zheng and asked.
"Then Master, what should we do next? Has His Majesty said when you will be reinstated?"
After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Mrs. Bai and everyone in the Wuhou Mansion immediately couldn't help but look at Bai Zheng again.
Reinstated.
Bai Zheng's face showed a bit of paleness and sadness.
"Your Majesty, let me manage the Wuhou Mansion well before I can talk about my reinstatement. If I manage it poorly, there will be no need to reinstate me."
