The noon dynasty retreated.

Chu Tian showed off the Jinluan Palace, but saw that the sky was dark and dark clouds were shrouded.

In the distance, there was a faint "rumbling" thunder, and it was raining lightly.

Stinging, thunderstorms.

He walked alone on the road in the palace with an umbrella, and the nearby officials were as afraid as snakes and scorpions, their eyes dodged, and they hid far away.

After this battle, the courtiers saw the combat effectiveness of the little dusk marquis, and they were even more reluctant to provoke him... Naturally, the farther away the better. Otherwise, if a poem comes out, it will be famous through the ages.

Chu Tianxiu didn't care.

He didn't belong to any faction in this court, and he was alone. In the adult world, you have to get used to fighting alone.

...

"It's thunderstorm season again!"

Wang Su stood on the steps and sighed.

Lord Xie Huyong has fallen, and he is the new leader of the civil officials of the imperial court, shouldering the heavy responsibility of leading the officials of the noble faction of the gate lords.

"Your Excellency... No, Mishi-sama! Let's go to Hongmen Inn for a cup of tea? ”

"Let's go!"

"Let's discuss what to do!"

The courtiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion nodded slightly.

After a big battle, they were nervous and almost covered with sweat.

They followed the newly promoted Imperial Historian Wang Su out of the Jinluan Palace.

Outside the temple.

As if in a different world, this world has changed.

Prime Minister Xie fell, and the "year-old system" could not be kept.

However, the interests of their lords and nobles must still be adhered to.

Can't let the Confucians serve this meat to a pot. If the Confucian sect is full, they will starve to death.

...

On the Golden Luang Palace.

This huge shock wave rushed out of the palace with a roar, swept towards the entire Great Chu Dynasty, and shook the government and the opposition.

The first to be shocked by this shock wave was, of course, the Xie Gate Valve.

In the battle of the Great Wu Dynasty, the heaviest loss was the Xie Gate Valve.

The head of the family, Xie Huyong, lost the position of the third princess and resigned and returned to the wilderness.

The entire Xie family gate valve was up and down, and suddenly there was a flood of mourning. The ladies, concubines, scholars, and subordinates were all full of sorrow.

The head of the family lost his office.

What to do?

The new Prime Minister Kong Hanyou will choose one from Jiuqing to become the deputy minister.

Jiuqing can vacate a position.

But in the entire Xie family, there is no one else who can top the high-ranking officials at the level of "Three Princes and Nine Secretaries".

At present, the highest one is Xie Xu, the chief historian of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xie Xu's ability is limited, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to reach a high position at the level of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors.

The rest of the Xie family's children are all small officials in the central and local courts, although there are still two or three county magistrates and more than a dozen county commanders, but they have not become a big deal.

If you want to become a high-ranking official in Jiuqing, you must first become the Yin of Jinling Mansion, the history of the state assassin, or the county guard, so that you can have a glimmer of hope.

But there's just a glimmer of opportunity.

After all, there is only one vacant position in Jiuqing, but there are as many as 100 competitors. Among the hundreds of 2,000-stone high-ranking officials all over the government and the opposition, the competition is fierce, and it is not easy to stand out!

Without Jiuqing's high-ranking officials, the Xie family's status in Dachu has plummeted!

With the huge contacts accumulated by Prime Minister Xie Huyong for more than ten years, the protégé of the old official, the Xie family gate valve can still maintain prosperity for a period of time.

If there is no one to go to the high position of Jiuqing for a long time.

Sooner or later, people will go tea and cool.

If you are a little careless, decades later, the Xie family will flourish and decline, and the position of the top ten gate valves will not be guaranteed.

However, it is useless to just mourn, and we have to hurry up and ask for help.

Xie Lingyun, the second lady of the Ping Palace, and Xie Anran, the princess's concubine, have great abilities in the Great Chu Dynasty.

...

Pingwangfu.

Xie Lingyun learned the news that the sky was falling apart, and hurriedly ran to Pingwang's Mansion to find his aunt to cry and seek a way.

The second wife, Xie Liyuan, was angry and sad when she learned the news that her father was forced to resign.

Xie Huyong's resignation was largely due to Xiao Duhou. If it weren't for the little faint marquis who wrote the poem "Pear Blossom Prime Minister", her father would not have been angry when he said such heavy words as resignation.

Xiao Duhou is the son-in-law of King Ping's Mansion and the son-in-law of King Ping Li Rong. And Li Rong, the king of Ping, is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Xie Huyong.

Xiao Duhou is Xie Huyong's grandson-in-law, how can this be.

She complained to the king of peace, "How can the little dusk marquis be like this? He is the son-in-law of our royal mansion, and he is tied to the Xie family. The Xie family is unlucky, what good can he do? ”

Li Rong was helpless.

This thing, on the surface, seems to blame Xiao Duhou.

But.... The Marquis of Xiaodu, a marquis, a small county order, an official with a small speech, in fact, can't do anything.

Without the emperor's nod, can Prime Minister Xie resign in a word?!

The emperor's determination to implement a new policy had been made.

If you don't change your mind, you will change people!

In the final analysis, the problem lies with Xie Huyong himself.

Xie Huyong did not follow the emperor's wishes, but tried his best to obstruct it, so he could only resign and return to the opposition.

Whether there is a little faint marquis, Xie Huyong will be unlucky, this is a matter of time.

Li Rong watched coldly from the court and did not get involved in this great court dispute, which is very clear about this.

If the Ping Wangfu wants to keep the current glory and wealth, it can only follow the emperor. Otherwise, let alone the wealth in the future, the current wealth will not be maintained.

Li Rong shook his head and sighed: "Madam, you didn't tell your father what I mentioned to you at the beginning?" ”

The second lady remembered that Li Rong had reminded her, and couldn't help but say bitterly: "I am a woman from a Taoist family, and this year-old system is related to the future of the Xie family and the gate valves, so what's the use of what I said." Lord, you have to think of a way! ”

Over the years, Xie's gate valve has been mediocre.

The slightly talented people in the family are either like Xie Lingyun who is fond of literature, or they are talented people like Xie Anran, who don't do serious things.

The rest of the children of the Xie family who have entered the office are very mediocre. The rise and fall of the family's wealth is maintained by the seniority system.

Overthrew the year-old system, and the wealth of the Xie family gate valve was gone.

Even if she persuades, what's the use.

...

Xie Lingyun left the Pingwang Mansion and ran to the princess's mansion to find his eldest brother Xie Anran.

The emperor's favorite daughter is Princess Xiang Ling.

On the princess's house.

"Big brother! The big thing is not good, today the noon is up, and the little dusk marquis scolded his grandfather! The top pillar of our Xie gate valve has fallen, how is this good? ”

Xie Lingyun wept.

Xie Anran was writing and painting some villains in the garden of the princess's mansion with Princess Xiang Ling, and he was stunned for a while, but he said indifferently: "Grandfather is seventy or eighty, and it is a matter of time before he retires from the old age, what is there to panic about?" You can't hold your breath like this, crying and crying, what kind of system do you have, and you are still an official in the imperial court?! ”

Princess Xiang Ling listened on the sidelines, looking uneasy, and said, "Husband, there is such a big thing in the Xie family, aren't you worried?" ”

Xie Anran stopped writing and said lightly: "In this world, it is common for the tide to rise and fall. The rise and fall of honor and disgrace should not be taken too seriously.

It's not good to lose a normal heart.

My grandfather is now retiring in a hurry, and that is a success. If he keeps the position of prime minister again, it will be a catastrophe after a year or two. ”

"But Xiao Dusk Hou is too bullying..."

Xie Lingyun cried.

"Don't be hot to provoke Xiao Duhou, he is not stingy, and he is ruthless and refuses to recognize his relatives."

Xie Anran said.

In Jinling City, who knows the temper of the little dusk marquis the best, and who is most afraid of the little dusk marquis, there is no one more than the crowd. They have been fighting with Xiao Duhou for ten years, but they have not taken advantage.

Shen Dafu, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Shen, was all killed by Xiao Duhou.

Why is the little dusk marquis the first gentleman in Jinling, just because the little dusk marquis can't even suppress his father's old faint marquis.

Princess Xiang Ling couldn't help but show a little admiration, Xie Anran deserved to be the first genius of Jinling Gate Valve, and this bearing was by no means comparable to leisure.

This majesty can't be robbed by the husband of the county lord of Danyang, Xiao Duhou.

"However, if the Xie Gate Valve collapses, it will be a fallen macaque scatter. The Xie family is now in danger, and they need to have a reassuring backbone and stand up and regroup!

Husband, you are the grandson of the Xie family, and you should take on a heavy responsibility. Or, I'm going to implore my father and the emperor to recruit you?! ”

Princess Xiang Ling said worriedly.

The concubine of the Great Chu Dynasty can be an official.

Moreover, the imperial court had a special system that was not commonly used - the "levy system", in which the emperor was recruited as "levy" and the government was recruited as "pi".

The emperor and the government can issue an edict to make people with a high reputation in the folk countryside of Great Chu not need to participate in the annual ceremony, and directly recruit them as officials.

With her, the princess, it is naturally not a problem to help Ma Xie become an official in peace, and she can do it if she becomes a county guard.

Coupled with the huge network resources that Xie still has in the gate, poured into Xie Anran, Xie Anran will not be able to become a senior official of Jiuqing in five to ten years.

Xie Anran came out, and there is still great hope for Xie's gate valve to regroup.
