When Mrs. Li heard her daughter's discouraged tone, she couldn't help complaining about Duchess Chengen and Zheng Xiuxiu, and said: "Your mother-in-law and sister-in-law are really, Queen Zhou has never treated them well, and they have repeatedly troubled her, isn't this self-defeating?" I won't stop them if they want to die, but it's annoying to even if it affects you. ”

She didn't care about the life or death of Duchess Chengen and Zheng Xiuxiu at all, but when she thought that her daughter was going to be unlucky, she complained to Duchess Chengen and Zheng Xiuxiu, completely forgetting that back then, she didn't like her because she felt that the hibiscus was not a ring, it was because she had climbed the high branches, and she didn't like her, so when she saw that Duchess Chengen's mother and daughter were looking for trouble with her, she gloated, and forgot how she knotted the mother and daughter back then. But the Chengen Mansion is not just a matter of being down, but a question of whether it can be kept, in this case, she naturally will no longer put those two people in her eyes, and when she talks about them, her mouth is no longer in awe and stammer.

Since her rebirth, she has always regarded marrying into the Chengen Mansion as her lifelong goal, thinking that the Chengen Mansion will always be prosperous and rich, so the Chengen Mansion has always been high in her eyes, and Li Xin, who is also in awe of the Duchess of Chengen and others, has also lost her awe at this time, and after listening to Mrs. Li's words, she nodded and said unhappily: "That is to say, alas, the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to do it, so I can only take one step at a time." ”

The worries of the people in the Chengen Mansion are not superfluous, Zhao Yao was extremely dissatisfied with the Chengen Mansion and the Empress Dowager Zheng when Zheng Xiuxiu created rumors, and then the Chengen Mansion and the Empress Dowager Zheng shielded him, intending to fasten the notoriety to Mu Hibiscus's head, but at that time he had to clean up these people, and it took a lot of work.

Now that he has become the emperor, it is naturally very easy to clean up these people.

Of course, more importantly, the Cheng'en Mansion has relied on the Empress Dowager Zheng as the backstage over the years, and has done a lot of things such as taking lawsuits, exploiting profits, accepting bribes and helping people run for office, and wants to rectify them.

At this time, after Zhao Yao ascended the throne, everything was almost taken over, so he instructed the secret guard to collect the materials of the Chengen Mansion and hand them over to himself.

Within a few days, Zhao Yao handed over these materials to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and asked them to be responsible for processing.

When one day when he went to the court, when the officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department reported the results, Zhao Yao pushed the boat to the ground and was furious, and said: "The first emperor Longen, gave the title of Duke of Zheng Jiaguo, the Zheng family did not want to repay the grace of heaven, but committed all kinds of evil deeds, which is unbearable!" ”

At the moment, he issued an order to reduce the Duke of Cheng'en to Cheng'enbo, recover the Guogong Mansion, give another earl's palace, and recover the money obtained from the corruption and bribery, litigation and heavy profits of the Cheng'en Mansion; retry the unjust, false and wrongful cases caused by the interference of the Cheng'en Mansion; For the officials who came to the Cheng'en Mansion with the help of the Cheng'en Mansion, because they violated the law of accepting bribes, they should be sentenced to prison and demoted to officials.

All of a sudden, the situation in Beijing changed color.

The Chengen Mansion knew that Zhao Yao would find trouble with them sooner or later, but he didn't expect that it would come so quickly, and the new emperor had just ascended the throne, so he dealt with them, and didn't give them a chance to survive, and it was obvious how dissatisfied the new emperor was with the Chengen Mansion!

And the so-called money recovery, in fact, is another form of copying, but there is no name of copying, but those wolf-like officials, running in to recover money, how can they leave anything for the Chengen Mansion, of course, in fact, most of the money in the Chengen Mansion is indeed unknown, after all, according to the system, how much of the Duke's annual income and official village income are there, and the things rewarded by the Yonghe Emperor and the Queen Mother are also documented, and those that exceed this amount belong to money from unknown sources, which can be confiscated.

I have to say, it's no wonder that Zhao Yao wants to find trouble with the Cheng'en Mansion, it is really that the Cheng'en Mansion is indeed very unclean, no, this recovery, he recovered four or five hundred thousand taels of property, but in just ten years, he saved four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, you have to say that you have not done anything illegal and criminal, a fool can't believe it, not to mention, after the Zheng family became rich, they lived a luxurious life and consumed countless silver every year. After spending so much every year, he can still save four or five hundred thousand taels of property, which shows that the Zheng family has done a lot of illegal and criminal things.

At the moment, Li Shu, Duchess Chengen and others, seeing that the money in their hands was copied - yes, the money in Li Shu's hands, as long as they can't say the legitimate source, has also been copied - they feel that life is better than death, after all, those money, they have been saving (fishing) for many years, and they were copied away all of a sudden, can they not be heartbroken?

On the contrary, Li Xin is a little better, after all, over the years, she is not like Li Shu, who has been rewarded by the prince of Chengen, and she is not like the Duchess of Chengen, who does illegal and criminal things outside, and collects money softly, so she does not have much money in her hands, and the way she comes is legitimate, and she has not been copied much by the officials.

If you want to say that you used to see that the prince of Chengen didn't give him money, but gave Li Shu money, which made Li Xin grit his teeth with hatred, now that Li Shu's money was emptied, but his own money was still in his hands, Li Xin couldn't help but be secretly cool, and secretly said You also have such a day.

Therefore, although Li Xin was angry with the demotion of the Chengen Mansion, he was in a good mood when he saw that Li Shu was unlucky, not like Li Shu and Duchess Chengen, who were in a bad mood at all.

But at most, it's not completely bad, watching the Cheng'en Mansion demote, his scenery is no longer good, and he is still very sad in his heart, once again regretting that he didn't marry Xu Hui at the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be like this at this time, the drugging matter was exposed, and it was almost divorced by her husband, and the title was lowered, plus the Zheng family offended the queen, and it is estimated that no one will pay attention to it when she goes out in the future, when she thinks of the situation that no one cares about, Li Xin can't help but regret it again, and at the same time regret that she is not capable of doing it all these years, and she failed to kill Mu Hibiscus, but asked Mu Hibiscus to continue to be the queen, provoked Zhao Yao, who was fond of her, to take revenge on the Chengen Mansion for her, so that the fate of the Chengen Mansion was different from the previous life.

But at this time, even if she is hostile to Hibiscus, because first, the title of Duke Cheng'en has been lowered, and it is useless to kill Hibiscus, and secondly, she can't find a way to kill Hibiscus, so no matter how much she hates Hibiscus, she can only stare dryly.

Fortunately, she could only stare dryly at this time, if something really happened, she would even lose the glory and wealth in front of her.

And Duke Chengen saw that the mansion was demoted, and immediately found the Duchess of Chengen, and the split was a scolding: "You ruined girl, were you a lard at the beginning, and you were instigated by the fool of the four girls to run to find trouble with the queen, now it's okay, the emperor takes revenge on our family, and the good duke has become an earl, who used to be stammered, and now others see us and run away, as if we are the plague, if it weren't for you two mothers and sons, we wouldn't be like this!" ”

He was also followed by the prince of Chengen, and when he heard his father's words, he couldn't help but say: "Yes, mother, you and your sister have done too much before, now it's okay, I won't be able to be a prince in the future, not to mention, even the Hou Ye!" ”

If it weren't for the death of the first emperor and his aunt, he thought that after his father passed away, he would not be demoted, and he would continue to be the prince of the country, but his mother was good, offended the new emperor, and caused them to be demoted.

Duchess Chengen listened to the complaints of her husband and son, and couldn't help but defend herself: "The emperor didn't demote our family's title because we had a little conflict with the queen, didn't the emperor say that it was because our family took over lawsuits, exploited heavy profits, accepted bribes, and bought and sold officials?" Although I did those things, I didn't do it alone, you also did it, so why is it my fault alone? ”

Cheng Engong saw that she not only didn't reflect at this time, but also quibbled like this, and couldn't help but be angry, pointing at her nose and scolding: "You still dare to say!" I don't know how many people in Beijing do this, can you see that there is something wrong with their family? Isn't it because you offended the queen that the emperor wanted to find trouble with our family, so he singled out these things that other people's families would do and demoted us to justice? ”

This is true, but if the Chengen Mansion is really innocent, the new emperor just wants to demote their titles, and it will be more difficult to find the guilt, which is like now, because they are not innocent in the first place, it is too easy to find the guilt and reduce the title.

Therefore, many people in Beijing, if they are removed from power one day, they are not wronged, because they have more or less done some illegal and criminal things, but sometimes when the emperor still doesn't want to rectify them, seeing that the people are not resentful about what they do, they just turn a blind eye, after all, when the water is clear, there is no fish, but if the emperor really wants to rectify them one day, these things will be pulled out and convicted, so all smart people will not be as unscrupulous as the Chengen Mansion, of course, the reason why the Chengen Mansion has been unscrupulous over the years, is also because I feel that I am the queen mother's mother, and the emperor is my nephew, so there will be no trouble, how do I know that the emperor will pass away so soon, and replace it with someone who has nothing to do with their family at all, and even has contradictions to come to power, if I knew that Zhao Yao would come to power, they would not be so arrogant.

Duchess Cheng'en was scolded again, but because what Cheng'en said was reasonable, she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only listen to it at the moment.

However, no matter how much Cheng'en Gong scolded, he couldn't get back to the title, and the family could only pack up and go to the newly given earl's mansion.

Duchess Cheng'en was already sad to see her family demoted, and now she saw her family move from the magnificent and beautiful Guogong Mansion to the much smaller and desolate Earl's Palace, and it was even worse to live than die.
