p>

> Duanmuqing shook his head: "It's hard to say, but after this incident, it will definitely be difficult for their Xiao family to turn over." ”

p> "Oh? ”

p> "The Xiao family is powerful, and it is beyond the scope of His Majesty's permission, although the queen has no emotions to reveal, but most of them are still unhappy to see it." ”

p> Duanmu Qing said, suddenly falling into deep thought.

P > Meng Qing was puzzled: "What's wrong?" What comes to mind? ”

P > turned around, and Duanmu Qing smiled suddenly: "I finally understand." ”

p> "What? ”

P> "I said that when we were in Qingzhou at that time, why was the attitude of Xiao Mansion so different!" Now that I think about it, these juniors of the Xiao Mansion are really inferior to their ancestors. ”

> thought for a while, and Meng Qing asked, "Are you talking about Xiao Chang'an?" ”

p> "Nice! Xiao Changan has lived for such a long time, and he has been up and down in the Huan Sea for so many years, but he can still get out of the whole body, which shows his sensitivity to officialdom.

> I'm afraid that when we first arrived in Qingzhou, he did that with a clumsy heart, but later his grandson Xiao Qiwen thought he was smart, thinking that their Xiao family was already winning, so he wanted to bring Han Ling down, but I was afraid that the rest of the matter was hidden from their ancestors! ”

p> "This matter, the imperial brother has ordered Jun Hao to review it." ”

p > Duanmu Qing was surprised when he heard this: "He agreed?" ”

p> "agreed, but asked Prime Minister Murong to cooperate." ”

P> "Prime Minister Murong? Duanmuqing was a little surprised, just because he was in Dongli, the position of prime minister was already like a fictitious position, and he didn't have much real power.

p> However, the official position of prime minister is here, so naturally there is still some status.

p> Although Murong Ji does not have much power, he is also very important in the court of Dongli.

p> Han Lingxi's request is good, firstly, he can conduct an in-depth investigation of the articles of the household department, and secondly, he can also avoid the suspicion of personal vendetta in the communiqué.

p> It seems that Han Yuan really wants to put Han Ling on the throne, otherwise he wouldn't have praised him like this.

p > things went smoothly as Duanmu Qing had guessed, after investigating Na Youshilang, Han Lingxi and Murong Ji found that this person actually had a stack of notes for borrowing money from the household department.

> used the money borrowed from the household department to run the tea house.

p> this discovery, the entire Dongli court was in an uproar.

p> Han Yuan smashed Murong Ji's fold on Xiao Yan's head, and ordered Han Lingxian and Murong Ji to investigate the household department in detail, and investigate Xiao Yan and all his contacts in detail.

The results of the search of the > shocked the whole Dongli, and nearly one-third of the courtiers in the court had borrowed money from the household department.

p> And the most powerful exchange of money is the fourth prince Han Lingxiang.

p> Han Yuan was about to be sentenced to death by Xiao Yan, and his younger brother Xiao Fu, the secretary of the ministry, was also demoted by two levels.

p > anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is still in the context of Xiao Mansion's past feelings.

p> and the fourth prince, Han Lingxiang, was fined and confined to the palace for two years, and all his positions were stripped of him.

p> This is not a small punishment, now that the princes are all adults, although Han Yuan's current physical condition is quite good, who knows what will happen in the next year and a half.

p> When the time comes, will he still have a foothold in the court when he walks out of the house?

p> Even if Concubine Xiao Guifei fell ill in bed, this was a crime of embezzlement of state funds, and this was already extremely polite.

p> she has been in the harem for many years, and she knows in her heart that pleading for mercy at this time is to urge Xiao Fu to die.

> simply closed his door on the pretext of being seriously ill.

p> the power of the harem instantly fell back into the hands of the queen.

p > this time, the front and back harems are all panicked, who knows if accidentally making a mistake at this time is digging a grave.

p> In this rectification, almost one-third of the positions in the east of the court have changed, of course, the biggest change is the position of the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the household.

p> To everyone's surprise, Han Yuan suddenly proposed to let Meng Qing take over the post of head of the household department.

p >, the young prince who has only been in the Dongli court for more than a year, suddenly became a book, which surprised everyone.

p> The most worrying thing about the reigning emperor was that the prince was powerful, but Han Yuan did the opposite, allowing his brother to hold so much power.

p> Although the head of the six departments is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household is in charge of all financial affairs such as land, household registration, money and grain, and is also a very important position.

p> After this puzzling decision, Han Yuan's other decision made even more jaw dropping.

p> Because after the third prince Han Lingmo was silent for two years, this time Han Yuan asked his own uncle Tang Xin to take over as the secretary of the ministry.

p> doesn't this transfer mean that the three princes who have worked so hard to suppress the four princes will rise up again.

p > this time in the court, the biggest beneficiary seems to be the third prince Han Lingmo.

p>But the other two princes who have the ability to compete for the throne also have their own benefits.

p > discerning people have gradually seen that the support of Luo Wang Mengqing seems to be the eldest prince Han Lingxi.

p> then his promotion to the head of the household department is naturally a big profit for Han Lingxi.

p> And the crown prince's mother, the queen mother, has now taken back the rights to the harem, which seems to be a gain.

p> and a complete defeat is naturally the Xiao Party who has been arrogant in the east for many years.

p> This crackdown is not one or two points.

p > once had a good story of two books, and since then it has come to an end.

p > the other three, relatively speaking, the prince is the party with the least profits.

p > just when everyone thought so, there was a news that caught everyone off guard.

p> Prince Weifu traveled and encountered robbers.

> was about to send someone to rescue him, but he came back covered in blood, and the more than ten robbers who besieged him were all knocked down by him.

p > immediately, Han Yuan asked someone to diagnose his pulse.

The answer that > came to was that the prince had been cured.

p > when such news came, the entire Dongli was stunned.

p > The four princes fell, the three princes rose, the eldest prince became more imposing, and the crown prince suddenly got better again.

p> Does this mean that the court that leaves the east will see more bloody storms?

p> When Duanmu Qing heard the news, he was studying the medical book, and he stayed for a while before sighing faintly, that woman finally made such a choice.

P> she has nothing to reproach for this.

P> just as a woman, I really feel a little regretful.

p> This year, the whole Dongli spent in such turmoil.

In the spring of the second year of >, Duanmuqing ushered in her eighteenth birthday.

P> is on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival.

>It has been a year and a half since Princess Ling died, and although she has not yet completed the three-year filial piety period, the people in the palace hope to celebrate Duanmu Qing's birthday happily.

p> Duanmuqing's heart was naturally moved by this, and being able to harvest the blessings of these people was a happy thing for her.

p> Early in the morning, a large pot of longevity noodles was cooked in the big kitchen, and the breakfast in the whole house was Duanmuqing's longevity noodles.

p> After breakfast, it's time to pay homage from top to bottom.

p > order that the princess has always been generous to her subordinates, so that when there are no outsiders in the palace, there is basically no need to bow down.

p> But today, Duanmu Qing was firmly pressed on the chair by Azhu Abi and accepted everyone's kneeling.

p > bow down, and more than an hour will pass.

p> Then there are some programs directed and performed by the people in the palace, which are not very big, just in the garden of the palace.

p > Duanmuqing sat in the audience, watching those familiar faces perform energetically, and couldn't help but smile.

> was only halfway through the p-, when suddenly it was reported that someone had come to visit.

> thought about it, and only a few people knew their birthdays, but they couldn't think of who came over at this time.

When > saw the man, Duanmu Qing was a little surprised: "May I ask ...... you are?"

P> The man was very well dressed, and judging from the clothing, he was not an ordinary person, a woman in her thirties.

P>"I've seen Lord Qingjun!" ”

p> to Duanmuqing's surprise, she performed a standard palace ceremony.

p> "The slave and maid came over, and the master of the slave and maid wanted to invite the lord of Qingjun to the drunken immortal building." ”

p > Duanmu Qing frowned, and then smiled politely: "I don't know if your master is ......"

p> "Today is the county lord's birthday, and the master wants to surprise the county lord, so he told the slave and maid not to tell the identity first, and when the county lord goes, he will naturally know." ”

P> I can't guess who it is, but everyone has said so, so there is no reason to refuse.

p > can see from this woman that she must be a palace maid in the palace, so her owner is naturally a palace person.

P> So who is it?

p> Fortunately, the place agreed by the other party is in Zuixianlou, such a prosperous place, but there is no need to worry that it will be plotted.

> gave Bai Mei an order, and Duanmu Qing followed her into the carriage to Zuixian Tower.

P > walked all the way to the most luxurious box on the third floor, where the woman reached out and knocked on the door, and someone inside seemed to answer softly.

p > Duanmuqing pushed the door in, and Baimei followed and was about to enter, but was stopped by the woman.

p> "What do you do?" "According to Bai Mei's temper, she must follow up at this time.

p>But the woman apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, my master only invited the Qingjun Lord to enter." ”

P> "That's not going to work!" Bai Mei immediately retorted, "What if my young lady is in danger when she goes in?" ”

P> "Please rest assured, my master and the county lord are old acquaintances." ”

p> woman still had a decent smile on her face.

> Baimei wanted to say more, but Duanmu Qing shook his head with a smile: "That's it, you just wait for me at the door!" This is in the Drunken Immortal Building, don't worry, can you still eat me. ”

Although > was worried, Duanmuqing was not wrong, and after following Duanmuqing for so long, he gradually knew that in such a situation, there must be something important to say.

> Duanmuqing walked into the room alone, but the room was a suite, separated by a peony screen in the middle.

P > walked over and around the screen, where there was only one table, and there was only one person sitting at the table, who was drinking slowly.

p > When Duanmu Qing saw that person's face, he was really startled, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You ......"
