When the holy decree reached the Chengenhou Mansion, the Yao family was shocked.

Chengen Hou Yao Weiji knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His aunt is the queen mother, his sister is the queen, and the Yao family is a noble, and she can be called the first relative of Southern Chu. But now, in an instant, the glory is no more, the booming building is toppling, Yao Weiji's mind is blank for an instant, and then two words come to mind - it's over.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how could Your Majesty treat the Yao family like this? This decree ......"

This decree must be false.

It's just that Yao Weiji didn't say the latter sentence, the words came to his mouth, and he suddenly reacted, if this holy decree is true, then it is a big sin for him to question the holy decree, especially the person who came to announce the decree is still the prince Chu Zheng.

"The decree has been read, Lord Yao, take it." Chu Zheng didn't pay attention to Yao Weiji's madness.

Yao Weiji gritted his teeth, and then took the holy decree, "Minister Yao Weiji received the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

He wanted to see if this holy decree was true or false, although Yao Weiji already had the answer in his heart. Falsely transmitting the holy decree is a serious crime, and Chu Zheng would never make such a low-level mistake if he was good.

Even though he already has the bottom in his heart, he is still unwilling after all, and constantly hints to himself, seeing is believing, maybe this holy decree is indeed false.

Yao Weiji took the bright yellow silk silk, stood up, and looked at the content of the holy decree steadily, carefully and carefully, not a word fell, and even the jade seal on the holy decree was clearly understood......

His hands trembled unconsciously, and Yao Weiji only felt that the temperature around him was lost little by little, and finally he was cold.

"Master, what can I do about this?" Mrs. Yao, who is closest to Yao Weiji, also took the content of the holy decree into her eyes, this holy decree is true, His Majesty really ordered to cut their marquis, and also lowered Yao Weiji's official position by three levels.

Yao Weiji was awakened by Mrs. Yao's question, there is still a chance, he wants to find the Queen Mother, with the Queen Mother here, His Majesty will definitely take back his fate.

"Someone, hurry up and prepare the horses!" He wanted to enter the palace immediately to ask to see the Empress Dowager Yao.

However, before the subordinates who got the order walked out of the door, they were stopped by the guards behind Chu Zheng.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by that." Yao Weiji's resentful eyes shot straight at Chu Zheng, "Your Majesty just demoted my official position, and did not order the Yao family under house arrest, in my own mansion, my subordinates can't go out if they want to, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't help but be too lenient!" "As for the will of the knight, Yao Weiji automatically skipped it, he can be demoted, he can be demoted, and he can find a way to be promoted back, besides, it is not uncommon for His Majesty to dislike being demoted. But the knighthood is different, not only does it lose face, but it is not easy to re-knight.

The knighthood of Nanchu is very regular, either it is a title handed down from the ancestors, or it is a great achievement, or it is a gift from the emperor. The Yao family was not originally a top-level noble, but later the emperor ascended the throne, and his biological mother Yao became the queen mother and pushed the Yao family, so he got the title of Marquis of Chengen. The title has been cut, and if you want to get it back in the future, it will be difficult.

Chu Zheng glanced at Yao Weiji lightly, and then said coldly with an expressionless face: "You and the people in your mansion can go anywhere, but you can't enter the palace." ”

"You ......" Yao Weiji's face turned blue, of course he wanted to enter the palace, if he didn't enter the palace, how could he see the Empress Dowager Yao.

"Your Majesty's holy decree didn't say that I was not allowed to enter the palace, why did you ......" Yao Weiji glared at Chu Zheng fiercely.

"Just because this palace is the prince." Chu Zheng said coldly, "This palace has the right to order you to think about it behind closed doors." ”

The crown prince is the prince of the country, and it is easy to deal with a five-rank official, and even the emperor does not have to report it.

Hearing this, Yao Weiji's old face instantly stiffened, and then his face turned from white to blue, and finally almost to the level of iron blue. He felt a great crush, Chu Zheng is the crown prince, the future emperor of the right name, and he is now just a five-grade petty official, he can only be slaughtered by Chu Zheng, even if Chu Zheng wants to kill him now, it can be done to kill him.

"Lord Yao, I can still call you Lord Yao today, if you disobey the order, this palace promises that I can only call you Master Yao in the future." The meaning of Chu Zheng's words is obvious, if Yao Weiji dares to enter the palace to intercede with the Queen Mother, then what awaits him is not just as simple as cutting the knight and demoting him, and he will not even be a five-rank petty official at that time.

Yao Weiji blushed his face, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't deceive people too much, don't forget that there are still the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the palace." ”

No matter how powerful Chu Zheng is, but Empress Dowager Yao is the emperor's mother, can he not scruple at all?

However, Chu Zheng's expression was indifferent, and he didn't even frown, "You can try it and see if you will become a commoner." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, not looking at the Yao family again......

As soon as Chu Zheng left, the Yao family immediately exploded.

"Master, what can I do? Do we still want to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother? "Mrs. Yao is a breathless, when she married into the Yao family, the Yao family has been given the title of Marquis of Chengen, she is used to the days of glory and nobility, never thought that one day the Yao family would be cut down and demoted, and it may even be a petty official.

Her husband was cut and demoted, wouldn't she become the wife of a petty official, and how would she have the face to go out to the banquet in the future, and even because her grade was too low, no one would be willing to invite her......

Mrs. Yao felt scared when she thought about it, and in the panic, she couldn't help but cry down.

Seeing that the lady of the main house was crying, the rest of the concubines couldn't help wiping their tears, "Master, you have something to say." ”

"Master, how should this be?"

"It's over, God, it's going to be a big deal."

……

Yao Weiji has a lot of concubines, you say a word to me, you hug me and cry, I hug you and shed tears, the whole scene is a mess. Yao Qianruo was alert, grabbed her aunt early, and signaled her not to speak, saying a word at this time would be troublesome.

"Yao family, is the Yao family going to end......" A concubine wiped her tears and cried and said such a sentence.

Unexpectedly, her words completely ignited Yao Weiji's anger, he stood up abruptly and slapped the little concubine fiercely, "Nonsense, who dares to talk nonsense again, Ben Hou will smash her mouth!" ”

The others suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore, and even their cries were suppressed as much as possible, for fear that they would also be applauded. But some people muttered in their hearts that they were not Chengenhou, and the title "Benhou" was useless.

"Go back to your room, what to do!" Yao Weiji felt a headache when he looked at one and two and cried.

The concubines, the children of the concubines, and the subordinates all retired, but Mrs. Yao, who was the main room, was bold enough to stay.

"Master, otherwise, if you enter the palace and beg the Queen Mother, with the Queen Mother here, this title should still be restored." Mrs. Yao couldn't imagine that she was not Mrs. Hou anymore, how many people would look down on her, and she didn't want to live such a humiliating life.

Yao Weiji pursed his lips tightly, thought for a long time, and then said: "Wait a minute, since Your Majesty has made a holy decree, it must be angry, and even the Queen Mother doesn't care about it, and when Your Majesty is angry, there is more room for the matter to turn around." ”

Although he said this, what Yao Weiji was really worried about was actually Chu Zheng, he had learned the methods of His Royal Highness the Prince, he was fast and ruthless, if he really moved, his life might not be able to be saved.

But Yao Weiji will only say this in his heart, and will never tell anyone else, even if it is his wife.

"I don't know when Your Majesty will be able to dissipate his anger, master, let's really do nothing, just do it and wait?" The Yao family has no title for a day, and Mrs. Yao is not comfortable for a day. She wanted to restore her title immediately, preferably before the decree of the knighthood was known.

Yao Weiji didn't want to, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do now, "Your Majesty's holy decree is clearly expressed, what I offended is the eldest princess of Yi'an and the Luo family army behind her, and the eldest princess is in the capital right now." After he calmed down, he gradually clarified the whole thing, as long as the eldest princess of Yi'an is still in the capital, he is afraid that his title will be difficult to recover.
