Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 321, Beiyan Summation

   What happened in Wen Guogong's mansion spread quickly to all parties, and Chu Yao ordered the special investigation division's soldiers and guards to arrest Fourth Master Zhuang, which aroused heated discussions.

   "Why can Chu Yao mobilize the soldiers and guards of the Special Investigation Department?"

  After Master Liu Hou was dismissed from his position as the commander of the Special Investigation Division, many people stared at him.

  As much as the officials of the DPRK and China hated Ye Mo, they were so envious of the power of the Special Investigation Division.

  But Chu Yao, who appeared suddenly, broke all the plans of all parties.

   "Didn't the emperor ask Chu Yao to take over the Special Investigation Department?"

   "How is it possible, how can Chu Yao and He De have the qualifications to take over the Special Investigation Department!"

  The prince and other princes were also very surprised when they received the news.

   While all parties were discussing, Chu Yao handed over to Meng Moling the words 'supervision department' written by the emperor himself.

   "Find someone with better craftsmanship, and make a new plaque."

   Waiting for Meng Moling to leave Chu Yao with the words in hand, he continued to look up at the plaque of 'Special Investigation Division'.

  When the Special Investigation Department and the Special Inspection Department were established, one was in charge of arresting and arresting, and the other was in charge of spying and collecting intelligence, and they were assisted by two.

  Due to duties, the Special Inspection Division has its own yamen, while the Special Inspection Division has only countless hidden stakes.

  Even if he is the commander of the special supervision department, he can only hide in the dark.

  He doesn't want to be an unknown shadow, he wants power, aboveboard power, and when bullying and criticism are exposed again, he can fight back openly.

  Before the plaque of the Supervision Division was finished, the emperor announced in the early court that the Special Inspection Division and the Special Supervision Division had merged into the Supervision Division, and that Chu Yao was the commander of the Supervision Division.

  As soon as the news came out, the regrets in the hearts of officials from all parties became even greater.

  Originally, the Special Supervision Division and the Special Investigation Division had a lot of power. Now that the two divisions have merged, the power is even greater. If they are in their own hands, it will definitely be a big boost.

  After that, Chu Yao also changed from being neglected and alienated, to being the object of all parties vying to win over. Among them, the one with the biggest reaction was Prince Rong's Mansion.

  Chu Yao quietly became the commander of the Supervision Department. The people in the palace were not happy because of his gaining power, but all of them looked dignified.

  In the Rongxin Hall where the old princess Rong lived, the old prince, the old princess, the Rong Junwang couple, the Chu Xuan couple, and the Chu Zhao couple all gathered together.

   "I heard that the third brother was the commander of the special supervision department before."

  Amidst the silence, Chu Zhao, the second son of Rongjun Prince, smiled and spoke out first.

  Hearing this, the old princess' eyelids couldn't help but twitch, but the old prince didn't respond.

  Since the request was made to pass the title to the Queen of Rongjun, the old prince has never cared about anything.

  Jun Rong frowned, pursed his lips, and his face was a little ugly.

  Chu Xuan, the eldest son of Rongjun Prince, and his wife Luo Yilan, all lowered their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

Chu Zhao's wife, Tang Shan, responded to her husband with a smile: "The third brother is really a real person. The Special Supervisory Division and the Special Investigation Division were both established when the emperor ascended the throne. After all these years, he has not revealed anything to us. , I don’t know in his heart, are we still a family?”

  Princess Rongjun heard this, cast a sideways glance at Tang Shan, and quickly looked at the old concubine: "Mother, Brother Yao is of course a part of the Rong Palace, and this cannot be changed by anyone."

  The old concubine looked at Princess Rongjun, but did not speak.

  Chu Zhao yelled again: "If the third brother is really in charge of the palace, how come he doesn't come back once in ten days and half a month?"

If in the past, Chu Zhao contradicted Princess Rongjun like this, the old princess would not be able to speak, but today, the old princess glanced at Chu Zhao and looked at Princess Rongjun: "It's really not good for Brother Yao not to return home for a long time. After a while, you will send a message to Brother Yao to let him come back to live in his residence."

  Princess Rongjun's eyes flashed with embarrassment. Although her son was born to her, she couldn't control him for a long time, but her mother-in-law had already spoken, so she quickly responded: "Daughter-in-law, let someone pass the message."

  The old concubine's complexion improved a bit, and she held up the tea bowl to hide the complicated eyes.

  With so many people in the palace, the only one who can let the third grandson listen to a sentence or two is Guan.

  At this moment, she also regrets that she shouldn't suppress the third grandson like that, which has caused him to be at odds with the Wangfu.

  At this time, the servant girl notified Wu Biao, the manager, to come.

  The old concubine cheered up and called someone in: "What's the matter?"

  Wu Biao replied respectfully: "Wen Guogong is here."

  The old concubine knew what Wen Guogong was here for, and looked at Chu Xuan: "Brother Xuan, you can accompany Wen Guogong to the Supervision Department later."

  Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, then looked at the old concubine: "Grandmother, it will only be counterproductive if I go."

  The old concubine paused for a moment, then sighed and thumped her legs. She was forced to be helpless by her grandson!

   King Rong saw him, and stood up: "I want to go, I want to see if Chu Yao's rebellious and unfilial things don't even give me face!"

  People from Duke Wen's Mansion have gone to the Supervision Department several times, but not only did they fail to rescue Fourth Master Zhuang, they even failed to see Chu Yao.

   Both Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao knew very well that since Chu Yao had made a move in public, he would not let it go lightly. Seeing that King Rong wanted to put pressure, Chu Xuan had a mocking look in his eyes and said nothing.

  Chu Zhao moved the corner of his mouth, but he wished that King Rong would hate Chu Yao, so he didn't speak in the end.

   This time, with King Rong in charge, Wen Guogong met Fourth Master Zhuang, but the meeting place was the prison of the Special Supervisor.

  Seeing Fourth Master Zhuang who was beaten all over his body, King Rongjun and Duke Wen were a little terrified.

   "Nizi, you dare to use lynching indiscriminately!"

  Chu Yao looked at King Rong coldly: "It seems that even the Zhuang family is more important to you than me."

   "Abusive lynching?"

  Chu Yao picked up a red-hot soldering iron engraved with the word 'servant', and placed it on Fourth Master Zhuang's face.

   "Ah~"

  Chu Yao looked at the screaming Fourth Master Zhuang expressionlessly, and said coldly: "The emperor has seen the evidence that Zhuang Wentong embezzled military pay privately, and the emperor has a decree that Zhuang Wentong should be exiled to the army in Liaodong."

   As he spoke, he looked at Wen Guogong.

   "The First Prince managed to enter the court with great difficulty. If you provoke him like this, what do you think he will think of Duke Wen's Mansion?"

  Wen Guogong's complexion changed drastically.

  Chu Yao said that there was still something to do, and asked someone to send Rongjun Wang and Wen Guogong out of the Supervision Department, regardless of how dissatisfied Rongjun Wang was.

  For Chu Yao, it's normal for people in the palace to be dissatisfied with him. If one day they suddenly treat him well, it must be tricky.

  At the end of March, a major event happened. Beiyan sent envoys to Beijing to seek peace.

  Beiyan envoy: "To show Beiyan's sincerity, Beiyan is willing to marry the eldest princess to the royal family of Chu, in order to seek the favor of Qin and Jin."

  As soon as the news came out, there were mixed reactions from all parties.

  Beiyan's eldest princess is also responsible for the friendship between the two countries. The best way is for the emperor to bring her into the harem.

   "Beiyan witchcraft is prevalent, and the mother clan of Beiyan's eldest princess has become Beiyan's first family by relying on witchcraft to eliminate dissidents."

  Hearing the words of the Lord Yang of the Hall of Liangyi, the Emperor's eyes were a little dangerous, and he snorted coldly: "I knew that Beiyan had no good intentions."

   Then, he frowned.

  In recent years, Great Chu and Beiyan have fought continuously. Now that the treasury is empty, it is really not easy to continue fighting.

  Beiyan's request for peace still has to go ahead.

  However, Princess Beiyan is not allowed to enter the palace.

   It was rumored in the palace that the emperor was unwilling to accept Princess Beiyan as his concubine, and the princes were a little uneasy, especially the princes who had not yet had a regular wife.

  If the emperor does not want Princess Beiyan, then only the prince can take over.
