Chapter 91: Rise and Fall
Zhao Shuo's husband and wife had a bad relationship, Zhao Mo naturally didn't know. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He just stayed quietly in the Qingfeng Pavilion of the Chengenhou Mansion, waiting for news from the outside world and waiting for the results of the palace's disposition of the Wang family.
Within two days, the results came down.
Although the gossip has spread, everyone has heard the rumors and knows what is probably going on, but the emperor did not publicly publicize the case of Wang Cao's poisoning, but ordered Dali Temple to strictly interrogate Wang Cao, and it is said that many disgraceful things that the Wang family had done in the past were tried, and there were rumors for a while.
The second master Wang personally pleaded for the crime, but was refuted by the emperor. He is an old minister, he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he has been recuperating for a long time, and the affairs of the royal family's room have nothing to do with him, and the emperor let him just continue to recuperate. In order to appease the old ministers, the emperor also gave the study room and medicine, and then sent a doctor to the Wang's mansion to consult the second master Wang.
The next day, the old man Wang folded the guilt, and the emperor left him in the middle and announced that he would go to Jin to see him. I don't know what the monarchs and ministers talked about. In short, when Master Wang leaves the palace, the holy decree will come down. He was unfavorable to control the clansmen, fined him for half a year, demoted his official to three levels, and moved to Guanglu Temple. This is a position from Sanpin. From the second-grade criminal department Shangshu to the third-grade Guanglu Siqing, Master Wang not only demoted by three levels, but also lost the power of the chief officials of the sixth department. Guanglu Siqing said that it was one of the nine Qings, but in fact, he had no real power, and it was a good pension position for an old man like Master Wang. But the problem is, this is definitely not the result that Master Wang wants to see!
He thought that he might be demoted, but he would be retained in his position. After a year and a half in this way, as long as any major or important cases are tried and meritorious work is made, they can be restored to their original level at any time. But the emperor's will shattered his wishful thinking. If there are no important achievements, with his age, he is likely to retire in the position of Guanglu Siqing, and there will never be a chance to be promoted, let alone enter the cabinet. How does this make it?!
What made Lord Wang even more frightened was that his eldest son, who was originally in Dali Temple, was Zuo Shaoqing, and was the fourth grade, and he only needed to wait for the current Dali Temple to die for two years, and then he could be on top. His eldest son, who is in his early forties this year, is the one with the highest official position among his children and grandchildren, and his future is far more optimistic than that of other Wang family members.
Master Wang's heart ached, but he didn't dare to complain at all. He knew that this was the emperor's punishment for their royal family's house, and it was also a warning. If they make another mistake and are found out by the emperor, I am afraid that the end will be even worse.
Master Wang took his eldest son into the palace to thank him, suppressed the discussion of the clansmen, relatives and friends, protégés, and old people at home, and expelled Wang Cao's family from the clan, while ordering someone to warn the youngest daughter, so that she could get along with her son-in-law Zhao Shuo, and not have a gap with Zhao Shuo, the most important thing is that Mr. will talk about his son-in-law.
Xiao Wang's Mumu listened to the words of the visitor, and without saying anything, he sent the person away. The man truthfully reported to Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang, the latter was worried about his daughter's emotions, but the former did not care: "She is not young anymore, she is already married, and she is the mother of a house, and it is impossible to be as willful as when she was at home before." She had to know what to do. I know that she is wronged in her heart, but the emperor has made a will, what can I do? I can only wait quietly for the opportunity. The same goes for the Seven Girls. If there are no heirs, no matter how much you say, it is false. As long as she has an heir, are you still afraid that Zhao Shuo won't change her mind?"
Mrs. Wang said: "It's really good to be like what the master said." But Zhao Shuo is ungrateful, and he may not change his mind because of his heirs. ”
Master Wang sneered: "Of course the heir will not let him change his mind, otherwise he would not have abandoned his eldest son that day." But if the seventh girl has his heirs, he and our Wang family will truly become a family. Even if it's for his great cause, he will change his mind. Don't think that with the emperor's blue eyes, he will be able to enter the East Palace safely. Now the king of Shu is also going to Beijing, and he has brought his son. Zhao Shuo didn't have the slightest help in the court, and the Liao Wangfu would not contribute to him, so who else could he count on except for our Wang family? Unless he dispelled his thoughts and didn't want to fight for that chair anymore, he would still coax back to our seven girls and be a loving couple with her. Just wait and see!"
Mrs. Wang was skeptical.
Master Wang didn't say anything more. There are some things that are too early to say. Maybe Zhao Shuo hasn't understood his situation and doesn't know his identity, so he will take Qiao inappropriately in front of the Wang family. But it doesn't matter, reality will soon tell him what to do is the smart choice. Even if their father and son were demoted, the Wang family was still a family of officials and eunuchs with a head and a face between the government and the opposition, and their power was not comparable to that of a mere Zhao Shuo.
Master Wang sneered and waited for the result he wanted, but who knew that within two days, the order issued by the officials made him suffer a big blow.
The position of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, vacated by his eldest son, was filled by Right Shaoqing. The position of right Shaoqing is filled by the left temple. In such a way, the official positions of Dali Temple seem to have risen one level after another, but when it came to the left temple of Dali Temple, a person was transferred from the six departments, not anyone else, it was Qin Zhonghai who entered the palace to complain, the grandson-in-law of the Wang family, the eldest son of the Marquis of Chengen, and Qin Zhonghai, who had been in the official position of the sixth grade for almost ten years.
The left temple of Dali Temple is just the official position of the six products. Qin Zhonghai's promotion from the sixth rank is just a normal promotion, in terms of identity and qualifications, he is well-deserved and impeccable. However, after nearly ten years of false positions, he was suddenly transferred to Dali Temple, and Qin Zhonghai seemed to have begun to get rid of the shackles of his relatives who had no real power, and he really came into contact with power. Even if it is just a seat in Dali Temple, it is also a far-reaching beginning.
Master Wang didn't know what people from the outside world were saying, but he knew very well in his heart that this was clearly the emperor using the official position of his eldest son to compensate the Qin family! Just because he ordered Wang Cao to assassinate Zhao Shuo and implicate the Qin family. If it weren't for Qin Zhonghai's official position being too small and his rank too low, the emperor might have directly given up the position of his eldest son, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to Qin Zhonghai, right?
In this way, will there be a day when the Qin family and the Wang family will be reconciled? Even if the emperor does not want to see Chengenhou in his heart, it is also the family of the uncle of the country. Not to mention that now there is another Yongjiahou, who is Jane's character in the heart of the emperor. The weight of the Qin family is different now, and if the Wang family wants to restore its former glory and seek long-term glory and wealth, it can't make enemies with the Qin family.
Master Wang had no choice but to send someone to contact the Chengenhou Mansion to appease the Qin family, so that the two families would really have a grudge and it would be difficult to see each other in the future.
At this time, no matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction he has in his heart, he can't show it in the slightest. The emperor's mind is very clear, and this time he can only admit it.
The Qin family had a very cold attitude towards the olive branch handed over by Master Wang. Now that they have a holy family and a bitter master, they can put on a show, right?
Yao may be a little embarrassed, but her mother, Yao Wang, has already come to the Qin family to see her daughter in person, and has also told her that she will no longer have trouble with her husband and son for the affairs of the Wang family. The emperor has made a decree, everything has changed, and in the future, she will have less contact with the royal family's house, and only go to visit her grandparents, and she will not become an enemy, so it is not a big deal.
Yao was overjoyed that her husband had been promoted, and she was about to throw a banquet and celebrate. However, the mother-in-law Xu did not intend to be too public, and Qin Bai, the Marquis of Yongjia, was enshrined first, so she instructed her sons that they only needed to celebrate at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and there was no need to set up another banquet. Although Yao felt that there were some shortcomings, he did not refute them, and agreed softly, and began to devote himself to preparing a grand banquet, telling all the guests to applaud, and there was no other banquet comparable to his own.
The Yao family took over the banquet affairs, the Min family began to intervene in the hands, the Changfang of the Chengenhou Mansion was busy, and the third room was as quiet as ever.
Qin Bai didn't say much about the emperor's handling of the Wang family, but the Niu family was a little dissatisfied: "Actually, they only punished Yulu, although they also demoted officials, but they are not the same as officials?
Qin Hanzhen also quietly asked Zhao Mo in private: "Is this fair to you?" I feel that the emperor seems to be lenient on the Wang family. ”
Zhao Mo smiled lightly: "This is already an unexpected joy." I wasn't actually hurt. After all, the Wang family is an important minister in the court, and the demotion of officials is already an unexpected heavy punishment. The authority in the hands of Master Wang has been greatly reduced, and his position in the court will be much worse in the future. It is no longer possible for the Wang family to rely on their power to do evil at will as before. This is the biggest punishment for his family. ”
Qin Hanzhen said: "I don't know much about these things. Since you think so, then I'm relieved. ”
Zhao Mo smiled: "Don't worry, cousin, I'm really happy." ”
Qin Hanzhen hesitated: "I don't know what happened to your father's side? The Wang family sent someone to harm you, obviously for his new wife." Is he going to keep a blind eye to you?"
Zhao Mo smiled and said lightly: "What can my father say? Even if he wants to take me back now, I can't agree." The emperor has a will first, let me study with my uncle and grandfather. ”
Qin Hanzhen was very skeptical that it was not a will, because the emperor seemed to be just talking casually......
Soon, she didn't have to worry about this problem anymore, because the emperor officially sent the internal eunuch to the Chengenhou Mansion to issue an edict to summon Zhao Mo to enter the palace alone to see him. It seems that the emperor finally has time to think about Zhao Mo's future.
Qin Hanzhen helped his grandfather and grandmother, stood in front of the gate of the Qingfeng Pavilion, watched Zhao Mo leave with the inner eunuch, and thought with some concern: How will the emperor arrange Zhao Mo? )
