278: Stripped of the title

Cheng Qing asked Si Yan to go to the blacksmith shop to order a few large pieces of iron.

"To use fine iron, the thinner the iron sheet, the better, according to the size of the new carriage now, the salary is more generous, so that they can shorten the construction period!"

"Young master, the little one knows."

Si Yan didn't know that Cheng Qing was going to test the blacksmith shop, but when Cheng Qing was frightened by the robbery and killing, he felt very sorry for his young master.

It has been three days and three nights since the robbery and murder occurred.

The emperor handed over the matter to the Shuntianfu Yamen for investigation, and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division were implicated from top to bottom, but they did not find enough evidence to convict Roujia.

Rou Jia's crime of hiring a murderer is not convicted, but there is ironclad evidence that Cheng Qing was driven out of the country, and Rou Jia herself admitted it in front of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

This can be regarded as a public outrage.

What kind of place is Guozijian, it was Wei Taizu who ordered the establishment of the highest official school, and officials below the third grade are not qualified to take the path of shadowy attacks to send their children in. The ups and downs of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs in the officialdom, in addition to realizing their own ambitions, isn't it just to seal their wives and sons.

If a county leader drives out Cheng Qing today, and they don't speak, he will change other powerful people to drive out their children one day, and there will be no colleagues to speak for their children.

On this matter, the officials have a tacit understanding.

Even the officials who were attached to the Eldest Princess's Mansion did not dare to speak rashly for Roujia this time, for fear of causing public anger and worsening the situation.

The eldest princess Fuzhen is also enduring it, wanting to wait for the emperor and the queen mother to dissipate their anger.

Master Cheng Liu is still sick and can't go to court.

On the day of the 'plum appreciation party' in the eldest princess's mansion, the emperor finally made an order.

The degree of punishment for Roujia this time is beyond the imagination of the eldest princess Fuzhen!

"Deprived Roujia's county lord title and fief, and demoted her from county lord to township king?"

The news brought by Meng Huaijin surprised even Cheng Qing.

"There is no evidence of the robbery and killing, but if I am driven out of the country, the emperor will punish me so heavily?"

How much the emperor loves Roujia can be seen in Cheng Rong's matter.

The emperor mainly covers up the ugliness of the royal family, and it is not only the eldest prince who has to protect, but also Roujia.

Now Roujia has been transferred from the county lord to the township monarch, which is already the lowest title for the daughter of the clan. The titles of the royal clan daughters of the Great Wei Dynasty are the eldest princess, the eldest princess, the princess, the county lord, the county lord, the county monarch, the county monarch and the last township monarch.

Throughout the history of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has never been a daughter of the eldest princess who has only been crowned a township monarch, if there is no interruption in this matter, with the emperor's favor for Fuzhen's mother and daughter, Rou Jia may be able to mix with the title of county lord before getting married - this time it does not rise but descends, and it has also fallen to the last township monarch, Cheng Qing feels that Rou Jia may really want to hire a murderer now!

Meng Huaijin smiled, "When you return to the country, you should go to thank the king for sacrificing wine." Lord Wang wrote a letter as the priest of the country, denouncing Roujia's actions, saying that it was his own dereliction of duty to let a female eunuch interfere in the affairs of the country's eunuch, and asked the emperor to surrender his guilt and remove him from his official position! ”

It turned out to be the king's sacrificial wine.

If the emperor doesn't want to be pointed at his nose and scolded the unconscious, not only can he not blame the king for the wine, but also appease the king's wine.

The king's sacrificial wine is for himself, and some of it is for Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing nodded, "It's time to thank Lord Wang." Senior brother, Roujia has changed from a county lord to a village gentleman, I'm really happy! ”

For Cheng Qing, this is great news.

Meng Huaijin understood Cheng Qing's thoughts.

Both of them were thinking about one thing at this time.

It turns out that no matter what kind of grace can be shaken.

Moreover, the emperor can't do what he wants, and once the people under the emperor's protection commit public anger, the emperor can't protect it.

This time, if you can polish off Roujia's county lord title, next time, you can make Roujia change from a township monarch to a concubine, and even the eldest princess of Fuzhen, it's not that she can't move, slowly Tuzhi, they can avenge Cheng Rong!

"Cheng Qing, don't worry, this is just the beginning, Rou Jia is the best one to deal with, and the others are not as stupid as her. This punishment may be the weakening of the emperor's favor for Roujia, or it may just be to give an explanation to the courtiers, and we can't get carried away because of this. ”

Meng Huai reminded Cheng Qing.

Of course Cheng Qing knows.

"The eldest princess of Fuzhen is Roujia's biggest backer, Fuzhen will not fall, and Roujia will always have to rely on."

Bear children are used to being born by bear parents.

If the disaster silver embezzlement case is as she guessed, then the feud between her and the eldest princess Fuzhen is not only Cheng Rong!

Cheng Qing suddenly sighed:

"Today is the annual plum appreciation party of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and it is Roujia's eighteenth birthday, and the Eldest Princess's Mansion has already issued a post, should it be temporarily canceled?"

Cheng Qing really wanted to go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to see for himself.

The emperor chose to issue an order today to deprive Roujia of the title of county lord, which really gave Roujia an unforgettable birthday gift!

……

"The county lordβ€”"

"Get out, all of you!"

"The county lord is angry, and the county lord hurts his hands carefully."

"Let you go, don't you understand?"

There was no longer a complete object in Roujia's room.

This time not only smashed things, but even the bed curtain quilt cover was cut together, the good bead curtain was cut messily, the pearls rolled down and mixed with the broken porcelain pieces, and the eldest princess Fuzhen stepped on the beads when she entered the door and almost fell.

"If you don't hurry up and clean up all this, if she wants to smash it again, she won't have to send things to her room, anyway, with her current title, it is against the law to use these things."

In the past, Roujia lost her temper, Fuzhen was smashed by her, today not only did not comfort Roujia, but also stabbed her daughter with words, Roujia threw herself on the futon and cried bitterly, and the subordinates cleaned the house tremblingly, leaving the room to Fuzhen and Roujia, the mother and daughter.

Fuzhen waited for Roujia to cry tiredly, and the crying changed from loud to small, so he ordered someone to fetch water for Roujia to freshen up.

"If you smash things, your uncle will not take back his fate, and when it reaches your uncle's ears, he will feel that his punishment for you is right. Roujia, you have to cheer up, the post of the plum appreciation party has already been sent out, and many people will come to the door today. When you are proud, those people are slapping around you, when you are frustrated, they are comforting you, and they must be laughing at you in their hearts, do you want to show your weakness and let those guests see the jokes? ”

This word is said in Roujia's heart.

The reason why she lost her temper was not only because the emperor decreed that she should be demoted to the rank of a village monarch, but also because of the plum appreciation party to be held today.

Thinking of facing the "concern" of those noble ladies in the capital, Rou Jia's whole person collapsed.

"Mother, how can the emperor's uncle treat me like this, today is my birthday!"

Even if you want to demote her to the township monarch and punish her, can't you push it back for a day?

As long as it weren't for today, she wouldn't be embarrassed in front of many people!

Fuzhen's face was full of love and pity.

"Silly boy, if your emperor's uncle doesn't choose to issue an edict today, so that the magnates of the city can see your embarrassment, how can you make those courtiers discouraged and let them stop biting you? You have eaten this lesson, you must not act recklessly in the future, no matter what you want to do, you must discuss with your mother in advance, you hurry up and dress yourself up, your mother has sent someone to pick up Cheng Qing to participate in the plum appreciation party! ”
