Chapter 585: Either You Are Masked or He Is Masked

Ama went back to see Xiao Changdun, although Xiao Changdun did not say anything, but he was very happy in his heart.

This pleasure lasted until the next day's pilgrimage.

During the change of Xiangguo Temple, Mao Yuanjiu, the secretary of the ministry, killed his relatives in righteousness, sacrificed his daughter Empress Dowager Mao when the family was in danger of life and death, and then reported a large number of Yang family henchmen, so Emperor Chongwen was very satisfied with him.

In addition, Emperor Chongwen hated the Empress Dowager Yang, and had no ill will towards the Empress Dowager Mao. Speaking in detail, when he left the palace, Empress Dowager Mao was still affected by him, as for the later little emperor, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Yang family is the mastermind, and Empress Dowager Mao is just threatened by Empress Dowager Yang.

The most important thing is that the Mao family is Mao Yuanmei's own family!

Mei Qing is dead, how can Emperor Chongwen bear to destroy even his family? Since the Empress Dowager Mao is dead, the affairs of the Mao family will be written off with the death of the Empress Dowager Mao.

Not only that, Emperor Chongwen also wanted to follow Taizu's example and re-establish the cabinet. The Great Qi Dynasty originally had a cabinet, and the Empress Dowager and the Yang family wanted an independent wife, so the cabinet was canceled.

Now, Emperor Chongwen glanced at Xiao Changdun, the Duke of Dingguo, who was sitting at the bottom, if there was no cabinet, wouldn't this court become the sole power of Xiao Changdun's family?

In time, the Xiao family will become the second Yang family.

For the Mao family, Emperor Chongwen not only disregarded his past suspicions, but also had the heart to support him. The Mao family is different from the Yang family and the Xiao family, the Yang and Xiao families are both military generals, ruthless, and powerful, but the Mao family is different, first of all, the Mao family is a civil servant of the imperial examination, without the achievements of the Xiao and Yang families, and because of the affairs of the Empress Dowager Mao, cautious and trembling, Emperor Chongwen believes that such a Mao family can be used more for himself.

Therefore, the re-establishment of the Cabinet cannot be delayed.

Emperor Chongwen wanted to take the opportunity of re-establishing the cabinet to set up the Mao family.

Mao Yuanjiu knew the emperor's heart very well, and brought in a group of officials to support the benefits of resetting the cabinet at the court meeting.

Emperor Chongwen glanced at Xiao Changdun, saw that he was expressionless, and did not say a word, neither objecting nor agreeing.

Emperor Chongwen's hanging heart was slightly lowered, Xiao Changdun did not refute it in public at the court meeting, and the officials observed the words, and there would definitely be more people to plead for this matter, so that even if Xiao Changdun wanted to object, it would not be so easy.

Emperor Chongwen was complacent, and the purpose of the transmission was to discuss in the imperial study.

In addition to Xiao Changdun, there were also six Shangshu, including Mao Yuanjiu.

After the scholars finished expressing their opinions, Emperor Chongwen looked at Xiao Changdun and asked respectfully, "I don't know what Grandpa Guo thinks?" ”

Xiao Changdun laughed: "The old man is a martial artist, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, His Majesty thinks it is feasible, then it is feasible." ”

The matter was settled.

Emperor Chongwen never thought that Xiao Changdun would agree so happily.

While being happy, he couldn't help but think about it again, Xiao Changdun, an old fox, shouldn't it have another purpose.

Xiao Changdun came out of the palace, and the smile on his face was gone. He remembered the rebellious words that Xiao Yi said yesterday.

In the eyes of the emperor, the throne is much more important than the country.

Right now, there is Han Guang plotting rebellion, King Qin forcing Beijing, and there are two Tartars who are ready to move, and the emperor is still in the mood to support Wenchen to suppress Wuxun, you are really broad-minded!

Ama walked over and asked softly, "Grandpa, get on the sedan chair." ”

Xiao Changdun shook his head: "I want to take a walk." ”

Ama didn't ask much, and asked the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair to follow behind, and Xiao Changdun took his hands and walked towards the endless street.

More than 20 guards quietly followed, separated by two or three zhang, protecting Xiao Changdun in the middle, and the passers-by avoided one after another, and some officials saw it and bowed down from a distance.

Xiao Changdun frowned and laughed self-deprecatingly, to this day, it was a luxury for him to want to walk alone.

He sighed and got on the sedan chair again, where the sedan chair of the Dingguo Mansion passed, there were still people avoiding and saluting.

"Amma, go to the front and change into a small sedan chair, and then buy a shirt." Xiao Changdun said through the sedan curtain.

Half an hour later, a small green cloth sedan chair stopped outside the bookstore in Yangliu Hutong, the accompanying old man knocked on the courtyard door, and an old woman with heavy makeup poked her head out, glanced at the sedan chair, and said to the old man: "One or two silver for an hour." ”

The old man took out five taels of silver and said, "Take it and buy wine for the eldest lady to drink." ”

"Phew, you old thing, who is your eldest mother, the slave family is young." The old woman put the silver into her bosom and opened the courtyard door.

After the old man walked in with another old man in his arms, the old woman spat again: "The old man is not serious." ”

Xiao Ren had nothing to do, and began to analyze the war for Shen Tong again, and when Shen Tong was dizzy when he heard it, Fang Fei ran in.

"Miss, guess who's in the front yard?"

Although this is a bookstore, it has nothing to do with reading, and the place where you are reading will not be opened in Rouge Lane like Yangliu Hutong.

It's just a place to borrow a bit of elegance and let men and women have a tryst.

Some scholars or mothers-in-law at home are strict and don't dare to go to the flower building next door, so they send the little girl to the flower building to call the girl to meet here.

When Fang Fei is fine, she likes to pick up behind the door between the front yard and the backyard, looking through the crack in the door, to see if the girls brought by the guests are pretty.

"Who do you see?" Shen Tong asked curiously.

"Dingguo Gong, Dingguo Gong is here, I really didn't expect that he was so old and still came to this place, I don't know if he made an appointment with a flower girl or a little girl." Fang Fei followed Shen Tong to the Dingguo Mansion and also met Xiao Changdun, of course, she was more familiar with Ama who accompanied Xiao Changdun.

Shen Tong was taken aback, peeking at Xiao Ren, Xiao Ren threw the ring ruler in his hand that he found out of nowhere, and said to Shen Tong: "I'm sleepy, I'll tell you tomorrow." ”

Shen Tong stroked his forehead, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm sleepy, but you're sleepy first?

She reached out and grabbed Xiao Ren's sleeve, Xiao Ren shook it, but couldn't break free, and he found that Shen Tong used a little strength, if he also used force, well, Shen Tong would be angry.

He sat beside Shen Tong with a straight face and asked, "Aren't you sleepy?" ”

Shen Tong was happy, it turns out that you also know that I am sleepy.

"I'm not sleepy now." She looked at Xiao Ren with a smile.

"What do you see me doing?" Xiao Ren was flustered by her, and he saw his own shadow in Shen Tong's eyes.

Shen Tong put his arms on the table, rested his chin on the back of his hand, and looked at Xiao Ren with a grin.

Xiao Ren had no choice but to bend down, let himself and Shen Tong look at each other, and said, "Tongtong, don't let me meet with someone I don't like." ”

"Okay, then no, either you mask or let him cover his face." Shen Tong said.
