Chapter Thirty-Seven: Demotion to the Lord

An Lehou thought about it carefully, he, a marquis who originally had no position or power, and had an empty title, really had nothing to enter the emperor's eyes.

may be just like what Zhang Lingyang said, just remembering the merits of his ancestors, and specially giving them a reward for their father and son.

Therefore, An Lehou let go of the doubts in his heart and began to be happy.

In fact, it can be seen from the fact that An Lehou dared to make a big fuss after drinking in the Anguo Mansion, An Lehou is a person who has no heart in the city, otherwise he would not have talked nonsense that day.

Yang Yong didn't say much when he saw his father explain like this, but he always felt that the emperor's reward was a little inexplicable.

But after thinking about it carefully, there was really nothing the emperor liked in his home, so he didn't think about it anymore.

"Maybe it's really like what my father said, Your Majesty is just grateful for the merits of the ancestors of the Yang family, so he is grateful to our father and son." Yang Yong thought about it like this, and completely let go of the doubts in his heart.

An Le Hou and Yang Yong father and son suddenly won the emperor's favor, which was naturally a great good thing for the entire An Le Hou Mansion.

Therefore, it is inevitable to set up banquets and banquet guests.

In the past, he made good friends, and An Lehou ordered people to send invitations.

The Anguo Mansion is no exception.

Holding the invitation from the Hou Anle Mansion in his hand, Wang Guowei's face was full of sneers.

Wang Guowei sneered: "This time, Lao Tzu looks at what kind of face you have to dare to laugh at the old man!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Guowei looked at his son Wang Sirui: "Have you ever leaked the news to the Anle Hou Mansion?" ”

"Father's rest assured that the first place where his son asked the housekeeper to leak the news was Anlehou's Mansion." Wang Sirui also had a mocking look on his face, "If there is no accident, tomorrow at the banquet in the Anle Hou Mansion, this news will spread." ”

Wang Guowei threw down the invitation, clenched his fists and said: "Tomorrow, our father and son will attend the banquet of An Lehou's mansion together, and when the time comes, the old man will see what the expression on An Lehou's face is!" ”

As he spoke, the father and son looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Obviously, Wang Guowei's father and son laughed a little early.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Anguo Mansion hurriedly broke in and shouted, "Master, Sun Sheng, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the seal of the seal, is here, and he is now in the living room of the front yard." ”

Hearing this, Wang Guowei frowned and shouted, "It's just a mere eunuch, what is there to shout about?" ”

The reason why Wang Guowei has the confidence to say this is because the Anguo Mansion is the queen's maiden home, not to mention, His Majesty the Emperor often comes to the Anguo Mansion to 'hang out', so Wang Guowei has taken the eunuchs in the palace in his eyes at all.

Even if this eunuch is the eunuch Sun Sheng, the eunuch who holds the seal.

Wang Sirui also agreed with his father Wang Guowei's point of view, glared at the housekeeper, and came to the front yard living room with Wang Guowei in a hurry.

Sun Sheng, who was waiting in the living room, saw that Wang Guowei's father and son were late, but there was no trace of anger on his face.

Getting up from the guest seat, Sun Sheng clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Slave Sun Sheng has seen the grandfather of the country, the prince of the world!" ”

"Grandpa Sun doesn't have to be polite!" Wang Guowei said without saying a word, and sat down directly on the main seat in the living room.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Wang Guowei said, "I don't know what happened to Grandpa Sun here?" ”

Sun Sheng's face remained the same, and he still replied with a smile: "Long live Lord has a will, please accept the decree of An Guogong!" ”

As he spoke, Sun Sheng took out the holy decree from his sleeve.

As soon as Wang Guowei heard that a holy decree was coming, he hurriedly put down the teacup and got up, came to the center of the living room and knelt down.

Behind him, his son Wang Sirui and a group of subordinates also knelt on the ground.

"The kingdom of the minister is powerful!"

"Fengtian, carrying the emperor, the edict said: An Guogong and Du commanded Wang Guowei to work hard during his tenure, did not want to forge ahead, and ruined the atmosphere of the court...... Rannian and his ancestors' exploits, the Duke of Anguo was demoted to the Marquis of Anguo and demoted to the commander of the guard as a punishment. I hope that I will not forget the glory of my ancestors, fulfill my duties, and serve the country. ”

"The kingdom of the ministers, thank you, my emperor!"

After receiving the holy decree, Wang Guowei smiled and asked Sun Sheng, "Grandpa Sun, I don't know what Your Majesty means by this?" ”

"Our family doesn't know, Grandpa Guo, no, it should be called Hou Ye now. Hou Ye still pondered it himself, and thought about whether he had done something that he shouldn't have done recently, which provoked the eyes of Long Live Lord! ”

"We still have something to do, so I won't bother your mansion much!" After speaking, Sun Sheng turned around and left Anguo Mansion.

Although Sun Sheng was very unhappy because of Wang Guowei's previous attitude, in the final analysis, Wang Guowei was also the biological father of the queen's mother.

Therefore, Sun Sheng still gave Wang Guowei a hint.

Of course, it's only vaguely mentioned.

As for whether Wang Guowei can understand, it depends on his own ability.

After sending Sun Sheng away, Wang Guowei returned to the living room and called the holy decree to read it again.

The more he looked, the more depressed Wang Guowei became.

Then he complained: "You said, the original commander of Lao Tzu was a false position, and his subordinates had no soldiers and no power, how could they fulfill their duties?" How to be loyal to the country? Now it's okay, the commander of the second product has become the commander of the third product, who will Lao Tzu talk to? ”

As he spoke, Wang Guowei's eyes became a little red.

Of course, Wang Guowei is not distressed that he has been demoted to an official position, and official position is originally a dispensable thing for him.

What Wang Guowei really felt heartbroken was that his title had been demoted.

The demotion of Duke An Guo to the Marquis of An Guo is not a little blow to Wang Guowei.

Like the Ming Dynasty, the title of the Great Zhou has always been extremely precious.

Once the title is lowered like this, it is not so simple to rise again.

Unless you or your descendants fight the battlefield, it is possible to regain the title of duke.

But the men in the Anguo Mansion, who can carry a knife and a gun?

It's just writing wine bags and rice bags.

Disagreeing with Wang Guowei's complaints, after Sun Sheng left, Wang Sirui began to savor his words.

Instead, Wang Sirui's eyes lit up, and after sending the people in the living room out, Wang Sirui whispered: "Father, do you think it's because of the Wei family's affairs that Your Majesty applied for you?" ”

Hearing his son's words, Wang Guowei stopped complaining and began to savor it.

The more Wang Guowei thought about it, the more Wang Guowei thought that Wang Sirui's words made more sense.

Instead, Wang Guowei was shocked again, and hurriedly shouted out: "Butler, where is the butler?" Get out of here! ”

"Sir, what do you command?" The butler hurried in and cautiously replied.

After all, everyone can see that his master is depressed because of the demotion and demotion.

Wang Guowei lowered his voice and said, "Who did you leak the matter of the Wei family to?" ”

The housekeeper said: "Back to the master, because of the rush of time, the slave only leaked the news to the Anle Hou Mansion, Ning Guo Mansion, and Dingguo Mansion. ”

"No one else?" Wang Guowei asked.

"If you go back to the master, there will be no other home!" The butler replied.

Hearing this, Wang Guowei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Remember, no one will leak the matter of the Wei family in the future, even if those families ask, you can't admit it, otherwise, I will break your dog's leg!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.
