Red makeup against the world

Chapter 463 Impeachment
When they came to the capital from Suzhou, they couldn't see the way ahead, and everyone would inevitably feel that the Xu family was in decline.Fortunately, they are all carefully selected by Mrs. Xu, loyalty is absolutely no problem, and everyone is dedicated to doing things.

But in just a few months, the Eldest Father and his son were released from prison, and now the Eldest Miss has been caught in the eyes of the Empress Dowager and decreed a marriage.

For these humble people, the Empress Dowager is as far away as a Bodhisattva in the sky.This news is like a shot in the arm for them, full of hope for the future.

"The capital is the place where the Xu family prospered again. As long as you do your best, the Xu family will not treat you badly."

Mrs. Xu's words were plain, but everyone's heart felt hot.

A lot of things are done rather than said.Starting from Mrs. Xu, the Xu family has a benevolent family style. At this time, Mrs. Xu's promise of "not treating everyone badly" is true for everyone.

When he was in Suzhou, needless to say, when he was still alive, Mrs. Xu acted justly and treated others generously, and no one in the Xu family was dissatisfied.

After the old man passed away, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth to support the stall, and no one was fired, and no one lived in distress.Those old people who have served in the Xu family for a lifetime have also been properly resettled.The son of a slave who is talented and intelligent will also be released as a slave and let him go to study and take the exam.

How difficult it is!
Biluo and Yulu came out carrying boxes padded with red velvet cloth, and distributed silver rewards to everyone according to their grades from high to low.

For a time, the courtyard was full of excitement and joy.

……

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the Xu family, the Prince's Mansion is dead silent.

In such a large and beautiful mansion, the servants were very careful when they came in and out, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, the thunder and anger would fall on their heads.

The prince's face was as sinking as water, and he paced back and forth in the study like a trapped animal.

Master Du stood in front of him, not daring to show his breath.

"What you said is true? Are there really more than a dozen people who submitted papers to impeach His Highness?" the prince asked unwillingly.

"Yes, but they are all junior officials of the sixth or seventh rank, and most of them are censors."

These petty officials are just cannon fodder thrown out to explore the way, and the imperial censor is the main force.The current situation is quite serious for the prince, so severe that he may be abolished as the prince.

"Is the person behind the scenes King Qi?" The prince gritted his teeth. If King Qi was here at this time, he would like to eat him alive.

Unexpectedly, Master Du slowly shook his head and said, "It's not him. According to the current clues, it all points to one person."

"Who?!"

"Princess Zhaoyang."

"Haha!" The prince raised his head and laughed dryly, and said, "It's her! Who doesn't know that she and King Qi are the same, and King Qi must have ordered her to do it. My Highness will give my father a reward."

Master Du hurriedly waved his hands to stop him and said, "No way! Your Highness knows it, but the emperor doesn't necessarily think so. Making a note at this time will only give King Qi a chance to clear his suspicions."

When he calmed down, the prince also knew the truth.But with a smoldering fire in his chest, he yelled "Ah!", and brushed all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, teacups and other things on the desk to the ground, and with a bang, the porcelain shards were scattered all over the floor.

After venting, the prince's long and narrow peach eyes were bloodshot, and he gasped and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Master Du cupped his hands and said: "As I said, the most urgent task right now is to gain the support of a high-ranking minister. The current crisis will naturally be resolved without attack. After all, Princess Zhaoyang is a woman, and she has no status as a leader. The instigators are not of high rank, they are just relying on their power."

"Have you found it?" the prince asked without much hope.

Before that, he had made a lot of efforts to win over the honorable courtiers.It's just that the veteran nobles are all cunning and cunning, and they don't have a clear attitude before the situation is clear, even the Anguo government, which has always been a man with its tail between its legs, is no exception.

As for the courtiers, they only looked at him differently because of his status. When it comes to loyalty, there are only a few of them.

Now that Princess Zhaoyang has found an opportunity to impeach the deposed prince, at this time, will there be anyone to help?
Master Du nodded and said: "I will live up to the Crown Prince's entrustment. I have been busy for two days, and Mr. Guan Jinghuan, a scholar of Jixian Academy and Zhongshu Ling, is willing to come to see the Crown Prince tonight."

"really?"

The crown prince looked ecstatic, Guan Jinghuan, he is a top-ranked Jinshi with a background in Hanlin, and he is a popular candidate for the next chancellor!
He is willing to stand up and support himself at this time?The prince couldn't believe his ears.

Master Du relaxed the pressure, and said with a smile, "It's absolutely true."

"Okay, okay! Master Guan means to meet quietly?" Otherwise, he wouldn't come here at night.

Master Du nodded, and the prince said, "Then you will arrange the meeting."

……

The prince leads the house.

Wang Miaoyan stared at the opened paper in front of him, dazed.

In the past few days, there has been constant bad news in the Prince's residence.First, the prince was grounded, and then the censor knelt down and impeached the queen mother on her birthday.It's just after noon now, and there are more than ten memorials for the abolished prince.

The situation in the Prince's Mansion is raging, and everyone is in danger.

Even though Wang Miaoyan claimed to be extremely intelligent, at this moment, she also knew that she was powerless to control the situation, so she could only act in a hurry.

Ordinarily, she was originally a spy sent by Princess Chu, and she should have hoped that the crown prince would be abolished so that she could complete the task and be free.

Before coming, Princess Chu promised her that as long as the crown prince was deposed or died, she would give her the antidote to the heart attack and set her free.

But with the contact with the prince again and again, the relationship between the two continued to deepen.The figure of the prince has been deeply seared in Wang Miaoyan's heart and cannot be erased.Right now, she only hoped that this mission would never end.Even if she can assist the prince to ascend the throne smoothly, then she can force Princess Chu to come up with an antidote.

But what she never expected was that the prince's decline came so quickly.I don't know, is it related to the news that I secretly sent back to Chu Palace?If so, wouldn't he be a sinner?

Wang Miaoyan's heart was tormented, and she suddenly turned her gaze back to the page in her hand.

This is the news reported just now. The Empress Dowager issued a decree to marry Wu Zhengxiang, the second son of Duke Zhongguo, and Xu Wanzhen, the daughter of Xu's family.

The ink on the paper is very new, it should not have been long since it was written.The person in the newspaper probably wanted to show his merits, so he wrote three pages eloquently, describing the incident in great detail.

When did He Jin, the eunuch who read out Yizhi, go to Duke Zhongguo's mansion, and when did he come out;

This news burned her heart like fire.

And again, and again!
