Chapter 340: Demotion

Side by side in the palace, Zhan Ge is trying to take advantage of this time to get along with Yan Wushuang, deepen his relationship and hope to get the crystallization of love.

Therefore, even Shu Jing was sent to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

It's just that this matter, as soon as it had a beginning, it was pushed to the end, and the palace that has always been quiet side by side ushered in an uninvited guest, who is also a person that Zhan Ge really doesn't want to see, at least at this time, he really doesn't want to see it.

"Sister Wushuang, Brother Zhan...... Brother, I didn't bother you, did I? With a somewhat shy smile on Yan Wushuang's face, Shengshang looked at Zhan Ge's expressionless handsome face, and suddenly felt that this season was indeed a little cold.

The weather in November is indeed a bit bleak, except for the chrysanthemums that are still struggling, the other flowers have basically gone, and the withered yellow leaves have brought the bleakness of the north wind, but at the same time, it is also a new life brewing.

Yan Wushuang patted Zhan Ge on the shoulder, cleared his throat and looked at Shengshang: "It's okay, we don't have anything else, why did we suddenly come to the mansion today?"

The implication is to ask if there is anything important in the Holy Spirit.

With Yan Wushuang's reminder, the saint's face was much more normal, and he sorted out the luxurious brocade clothes that he had specially changed, and then he looked at the saint lazily, although he didn't speak, but the threat in his eyes made the saint see clearly.

Shengshang may still be young and don't understand what it is for, but Gonggong Wei, who is followed by Shangshang, is clear.

This is obviously the recklessness of the saint and disturbed the good things of the side side king, but I just hope that the side side king will not settle accounts after the autumn, otherwise, his old life will be in danger.

"Oh, you go out first, there's something to say." After receiving the order of the saint, Father-in-law Wei hunched his waist and hurriedly retreated, and the door of the room was also closed by the way.

The weather in November is indeed a little cold, and the warm house is naturally ready.

Yan Wushuang personally added refreshments to the saint, and then returned to the couch and sat down: "Came here in a hurry, is there anything important?"

Due to the status of the saint, every time you leave the palace, you must be prepared for a long time, and safety is paramount, so as to prevent anything from happening.

took out the booklet in his sleeve and handed it to Yan Wushuang: "Sister Wushuang, take a look, do you have any impression of this Suzhou prefect Xie Annian?"

There are always some gossips and rumors among the ladies in the capital, and there are some things that Yan Wushuang may have heard.

"Suzhou Governor Xie Annian?" After pondering for a while, Yan Wushuang looked at Zhan Ge and shook his head slightly: "I don't think about it, I haven't participated in this banquet in the capital a few times." There are some things that are really not clear. ”

Zhan Ge sat up straight, took the booklet, and after reading this page, his brows frowned slightly: "I know this, at the time of the first emperor, Xie Annian was quite famous, and everyone knew that the highest prefect in the world was the sixth grade, but Xie Annian was different, he was the fifth grade."

"It is said that several times, the first emperor wanted to transfer him to the capital, but because the people of Suzhou never forgot him, and even went several miles to see him off, so he was reluctant to stay in Suzhou."

This matter was clear to the first emperor and the crown prince, but the tenth prince was still young at that time, and this was a matter of the previous dynasty, and it was normal to not be clear.

"The results of the investigation by the shadow guard are indeed the case, but there is also a very important thing, according to the regulations, the prefect should also return to Beijing once every three years to report on his work, but Xie Annian has never returned."

As soon as the saint said this, Zhan Ge felt that something was wrong: "Someone stopped you?"

Over there, Yan Wushuang suddenly thought of something, meditated hard, but couldn't remember, what was he going to say?

"Yes, it's an official in charge of this in the household department, and that person is the cousin of the Duchess of Enguo."

The saint really felt a little headache about these messy kinship relationships in the court, and even Ning Qing specially made a huge relationship map for him, but unfortunately, the saint did not have this patience.

A few of the words woke up Yan Wushuang: "Yes, it's the Duchess of Enguo."

When the other two people came over, Yan Wushuang explained to them.

"It is said that Xie Annian's wife is as beautiful as a flower, talented, and is the cousin of Enguo Gong, after the family suffered a catastrophe, she was hurriedly entrusted to Enguo Gong's mansion, and after a few years, she was married, it is said that at that time, Enguo Gong liked this cousin very much."

After all, in this era, cousins and cousins can't escape the stalk of childhood sweethearts.

"Xie Annian is not a person from the capital, but a scholar who came to the capital to take the exam. first made a county magistrate in a small place, and then was appointed as the prefect of Suzhou, which was more than ten years in a flash. ”

This is the entanglement of feelings, and it is normal for Shengshang and Zhan Ge to be unclear about these things.

After taking a sip of tea to ease himself, the saint tried to analyze this matter: "That is to say, the Duchess of Enguo is jealous, so she has been reluctant to let Xie Annian return to the capital, after all, there are so many prefects who have to return to the capital every year, there are always a few accidents."

Yan Wushuang shook his head: "As for this, I really don't know, it's not easy to think of so much, but the Duchess of Enguo shouldn't be such a person, I'm afraid there is another hidden secret."

Thinking of something suddenly, Yan Wushuang's voice was a little excited: "I heard that this Mrs. Xie's family was originally in business, and after the death of her family, all the property was given to her, which is said to be a huge amount of money, and when she got married, it seemed that she accompanied a lot, but not all."

Pushing forward more than 20 years, Zhan Ge suddenly thought of something, although he had not been on the battlefield at that time, and he had not been in contact with political affairs, but the impact of this matter back then can be said to have been discussed in the next ten years.

"Your Majesty, if you say this, Enguo Gong hurriedly married his cousin far away back then, not because it was just an emotional entanglement, but because there was still a dispute over property."

It was the prince who was headed at that time borrowed the silver from the treasury, made a lot of IOUs, and finally was unwilling to pay it back, and when the saint needed it, he found that he didn't know how much he owed.

It is said that during that time, there were many valuable cultural relics in the pawnshop.

Hearing this, the Holy One can be regarded as understanding this matter, what is going on?

"That is, Enguo Gong used his cousin's silver taels to pay off those credits, but he was afraid of any rumors, so he married his cousin in a hurry, and after a few years, this matter was not talked about again."

There was obvious sarcasm on Yan Wu's face: "I'm afraid that at that time, even if his cousin senses that something is wrong, there is no way to say anything, after all, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and they can exchange silver for their own freedom, I am afraid that they are also willing."

This is really shameless, but, thinking about it, I didn't take the opportunity to occupy my cousin, and I have a bit of conscience.

As he spoke, Zhan Ge had already finished reading the booklet, and his expression was not pleasant: "Your Majesty's intention is to transfer this Xie Annian back to the capital and succeed him as one of the six Shangshu."

"Exactly, the six Shangshu are not in unison now, and I don't know who is behind them, in this case, it is better to replace them with a batch, which is just under my control."

The saint who said this really gave Yan Wushuang a feeling of being an emperor, and he was very pleased, they were not afraid of the saint's ambition, but they were afraid that the ambition would not be enough.

In the imperial study, the saint sat behind the imperial case, dressed in a blue brocade robe, embroidered with auspicious clouds, white clouds with gold edges, showing that His Majesty was more noble, his eyes seemed to be closed slightly, looking lazy, but the momentum was huge.

Wang Zhan Ge and his wife Chengping County Lord Yan Wushuang sat on the side, and the Tang King, who had not appeared for a long time, also appeared, and the prime minister naturally came, and the other officials did not let them come.

The saint didn't intend to do this with great fanfare, because in that case, it would involve a lot of rights and wrongs back then, but in the end, it couldn't be ended.

When Enguo Gong came, his face was calm, and he obviously had made some preparations for this matter.

"I have seen Your Majesty, King Side by Side, His Royal Highness the King of Tang, and His Excellency the Prime Minister." As soon as he entered the door of the imperial study, Enguo Gong walked a few steps quickly, knelt on the ground, and knelt there after greeting him, but did not move.

Such a self-consciousness made the saints a little surprised.

"I guess I'm a little surprised to come here, to be honest, I don't really want to see you, especially in such a scene."

The saint didn't let him get up, and said a few words coolly, the dragon in the imperial study was hot, and Yan Wushuang was just wearing a spring shirt, and as for the coat, it was taken away by the maid when he entered the door.

Enguo Gong knelt down and kowtowed again, with a solemn face: "The things of the past were all the fault of the minister, and any punishment of His Majesty, the minister admitted."

"I haven't said anything yet, and Enguo Gong recognized it so quickly, so if this matter wrongs you, how can it be resolved?"

It was this attitude that made the saint more and more suspicious in his heart.

The scene was a little silent for a long time, and after a long time, the thick voice of Enguo Gong sounded.

"The minister knows, Mrs. has repeatedly prevented Xie Annian from going to Beijing, and the minister also acquiesced, if it wasn't for my cousin at this time, I'm afraid that the Enguo Mansion would have long ceased to exist.

When everyone's eyes met, they didn't expect that this matter would be resolved so quickly, and it was really a waste of such a battle.

"In the end, it's a thing of the past, but the hand of the Duchess of Enguo has been a little longer, so let's do it, the Enguo Mansion will be reduced to the Enjun Palace, and it will be moved to the East China Sea area, and it will not be able to return to Beijing without a recall."

The saint's mercy is also limited, and after the last thing he said, the saint wanted to do so, and now he has this fair and honest reason.

Enguo Gong respectfully bowed to the ground: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen."

Those eyes were extraordinarily calm.
