Chapter 60 Changes in the Court
The next day, big news came from the palace.

The emperor issued an imperial decree to deprive the Marquis of the Changsheng Marquis Mansion and take back the Marquis Mansion. All rewards from the treasury in the mansion will be returned to the state treasury, and the entire Sheng family is ordered to move out of the Marquis Mansion within five days.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was shocked.

Everyone knew that the position of marquis was on the verge of collapse, but when it really landed with a slam, everyone still couldn't help being shocked.

In addition to being shocked, he couldn't help but marvel at His Majesty's thunderous methods.

That's Hou Mansion!

From ancient times to the present, why are there so many people fighting for a title with all their might?

Because the title represents the prosperity of the family and the prosperity and wealth of future generations.

Daliang has a long history. Looking back at the history books, it is not difficult to find that the decline of most of the noble families is due to the small number of people in the family. After the family is extinct, the title will naturally not be passed on.

The remaining small part lost their titles because of committing serious crimes, such as forcing the palace to rebel, or doing something outrageous.

Like Changshenghou's family, it was really the first one to lose their title because of the divorce.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that retiring the engagement is just an excuse, and the fact that the Hou Mansion was overthrown was actually due to the unworthy descendants of the Changsheng Hou Mansion.

This incident also sounded a wake-up call in the hearts of many wealthy families in the capital—look, the Hou Mansion can be abolished as soon as it is said, and those who have dudes in their families have to weigh their own weight, otherwise they will not know tomorrow Let's see who's busy.

As soon as the news reached Tangli Residence, Xue Shu immediately took Qingyu to the bamboo garden to join in the fun, and everyone surrounded the stove to make tea, very comfortable and leisurely.

When such a big event happened, Xue Chen and Jing Xing definitely wanted to say a few words, Xue Shu naturally wanted to hear what the future number one scholar and Tanhua would have on this matter.

"In my opinion, His Majesty's swift action is also because he is afraid that something will happen to Xue Shu." Jing Xing said, looking at Xue Shu with a vague look, "After all, I heard that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has been very serious these days. Xue Xiang's attitude has changed a lot. Zhenbei Hou changed his defense of Xue Xiang in the court hall, and instead started to confront him. This is not a good thing."

The change in the attitude of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion began when Xue Shu was slapped and Xue Lu returned to the Hou Mansion with her children.

Before this incident happened, Marquis Zhenbei did not hesitate to defend Xue Yue above the court.

Xue Yue was originally at odds with the right, but as long as Zhenbeihou was around, it would be Zhenbeihou who would fight with the right, Xue Yue just had to watch from the sidelines.

Fortunately, Zhenbeihou is even more irritable than Prime Minister Right, and whenever he feels upset, he will directly scold him, and if his relatives do not recognize him, that is not giving him any face at all. Now Prime Minister Right doesn't talk much.

With Lord Hou and Prime Minister on the right taking the lead, everyone has followed suit. Xue Yue is now struggling in the court, and his prestige has plummeted, which is simply deplorable.

Xue Chen also nodded, and sighed: "Yes, if father does something to displease the Houfu, I'm afraid the position of the left minister will be changed."

Xue Chen's tone was calm, as if he wasn't talking about his own affairs.

After all, Xue Yue is not a qualified father. Xue Chen can have today's knowledge and insight, relying on his own talent, and it is also Xue Lu's and Hou's family's cultivation of him regardless of cost. As for Xue Yue?
It's just because he is the only child of the Xue family, so he pays a little more attention to him.

Of course, it was limited to a few words of greetings, and none of the things that should be done were done.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has guarded the northern border for generations, guarded the border peace, worked hard, and never took credit for pride. His Majesty naturally relies more on him. And Xue Xiang... To be honest, there are not no people who are stronger than him in the court. If you want two If anyone chooses one, His Majesty will definitely choose the Marquis of Zhenbei." Jing Xingdao, "I heard that the border is stable this year, and the younger brother of Marquis of Zhenbei sent a post saying that he wants to bring his family back to Beijing for the New Year?"

Xue Chen nodded slightly, and wanted to laugh when he mentioned this matter: "Yes, the second uncle hasn't returned to Beijing for several years, no, when I heard that this girl was finally willing to get close to the Hou's mansion, she led troops to sweep the northern Xinjiang overnight. Several tribes, only then sent a message to His Majesty saying that they would come back.

Alas, the uncle was so happy. "

Can you not be happy, the niece who has been estranged from him for more than ten years is finally willing to get close again, and the younger brother who has been in the frontier for several years has also sent a message to return to Beijing. This year's Zhenbeihou Mansion can be described as double happiness.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou came to the door and specifically said that she wanted Xue Lu to take them back to celebrate the New Year. The family is very lively.

Xue Shu was busy turning the flower rope with Qingyu, when she heard her elder brother talking about herself suddenly, she gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Then I might as well move to the Hou's mansion, and when the time comes, I will let elder brother and you only treat the second younger sister wholeheartedly." Well, the second sister must be crazy with joy."

What does it mean to set yourself on fire?

This is.

Xue Chen decisively shut up.

Jing Xing chuckled and teased, "It's rare for me to see you dare not speak."

Xue Chen glared at him.

The room fell silent for a while.

The master and servant had a great time playing with the flower rope, Jing Xing and Xue Chen leaned aside and watched them quietly, for a while, only the charcoal fire made a few small sounds from time to time.

Finally, the flower rope turned to the end, Xue Shu looked left, right, up and down, and finally turned her head decisively, saying: "Brother, I want to eat roasted oranges."

"...I'll bake it for you." Xue Chen got up resignedly to get the oranges.

He is not used to ordering people around, so in this bamboo garden, apart from the gatekeeper and the maid in charge of sweeping, there is no one to order.

When Xue Shu came over today, he also told all the servants to go back to the courtyard, so what to do, he had to come by himself.

After Qingyu untied the rope, she got up and picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Shu: "Girl, tomorrow will be the winter solstice, shall we eat shabu-shabu at noon or at night?"

She has been hungry for several days, and every night she dreams of pieces of meat tumbling in boiling water in a copper pot, her saliva has flooded several pillows.

Tomorrow is the winter solstice.

Time flies so fast.

Before she knew it, she had been reborn for two months.

In just two months, it seemed that most of the pain in her previous life had been healed.

Xue Shu felt a little emotional for a while, but after all, this feeling could not resist the temptation of shabu-shabu: "Then let's have lunch, how about it?"

Jing Xing nodded, and said, "Miss Xue just make arrangements."

"Is the food ready?"

Qingyu nodded, and said proudly: "Girl, don't worry! The servant has contacted Fan Lou a few days ago, as long as I go there today to get it!"

In terms of eating, Qingyu has never slacked off.

Hearing this, Xue Shu also nodded, turned her head to look at the sky outside, and said, "Why don't we go now and see if Fan Lou has any new dishes by the way, I haven't been there for a long time."

The closer to winter, the grayer the sky becomes. Even if it is sunny in the morning, it will be gloomy after noon.

It is a rare time to see the sun at this moment, which is suitable for traveling.

"Okay, okay!"

So Qingyu stood up neatly, turned around to get the cloak, Xue Shu looked at Jing Xing, and said, "Young Master Jing, let's go together?"

Jing Xing smiled and nodded.

When Xue Chen walked out of the cold warehouse with a basket of oranges, he saw three people walking past him talking and laughing.
