As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were shocked.

Before, the officials played a fold and asked the Son of Heaven to reward his mother and wife, but the attitude of the Son of Heaven was vague and unclear. Today, in the court, the Son of Heaven has finally made his words clear, and the holy will is clear, and no one will be allowed to misunderstand.

The Son of Heaven had no intention of letting the Yu family continue to inherit the title.

The glory of the Yu family, with the death of Lord Yu, will also quietly dissipate. Perhaps, as soon as Empress Dowager Yu dies, the Son of Heaven will take action against the Yu family.

Liu Yushi still didn't give up, and arched his hand and said: "There is indeed no inheritance of the title of Duke Cheng'en, but there are old rules to follow. ”

More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, there have been five or six queens. The treatment of each queen's maiden family is different, depending on whether the queen has the sacred heart and whether the Son of Heaven is willing to raise his wife.

The title of Duke Cheng'en has been inherited for two or three generations, and there are precedents for one generation to die. The so-called "old routine" is quite ambiguous.

Sheng Hong was very cunning, and did not respond to this matter head-on, but looked at his father-in-law Xie Jun: "Xie Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, why don't you ask Xie Shangshu to talk about it, how to deal with this matter is the most appropriate?" ”

Xie Jun: "......"

Xie Jun had words of suffering in his heart.

Sheng Hong threw this hot potato over, and of course he was not happy as a father-in-law. But as a courtier, he can only take it honestly.

Not only did he have to take it, but he also had to send Liu Yushi and others according to the holy will.

Thinking of Xie Mingxi's sentence "I may be able to go further in the future", Xie Jun secretly gritted his teeth ruthlessly, and opened his mouth to say: "Weichen has the courage to say a word, if there is any recklessness and abruptness, I beg the emperor to forgive me." ”

"The Yu family has enjoyed several years of glory because of the Queen Mother."

"Lord Yu is the father of the Queen Mother, and he was given the title of Grace, and it is right. Now that Lord Yu has passed away, the descendants of the Yu family, how can he de, how can he inherit the title? ”

"Relatives and in-laws, with only one surname, think that they will occupy the title for generations, and there will be glory and wealth when they lie down. People who think like this are too greedy. ”

"Daqi is the emperor's world, and the emperor wants to take back the title, and it is natural. Weichen thought that there was no need to discuss this matter. ”

Everyone: "......"

What a Xie Jun!

These words are too harsh!

It was a slap in the face of the Yu family, and by the way, it cut the face of the Empress Dowager Yu.

If others said such things, Liu Yushi and the others would have cross-examined them a long time ago. However, Xie Jun is not only the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but also the father of Queen Xie. The most confident and qualified to say this!

Sheng Hong secretly snickered in his heart.

On the day that the Xu family entered the palace, Xie Mingxi specially told the Xu family to bring a message to Xie Jun. Now it seems that the results have been remarkable.

There is fatty and fragrant meat hanging in front, why worry about Xie Shangshu not going all out?

Sure enough, Xie Shangshu took advantage of Liu Yushi and the others not reacting, and said categorically: "Weichen, as the father of the queen's mother, expressed his attitude in the court today. ”

"The Xie family uses poetry and books to pass on the family, and Weichen will definitely teach his children, grandchildren and nephews, so that the Xie family will study carefully, take the examination and serve the imperial court."

"This is the best way for the family to grow and prosper."

"Weichen will never rely on his status as the head of the country to covet or ask the emperor for a reward. It was given by the emperor, and Weichen resolutely did not want it. ”

Xie Jun's generous statement shocked Liu Yushi and others.

Even Lu Ge Lao and the others couldn't help but look at Xie Jun with admiration.

In the past, I always felt that Xie Jun was a little timid and cowardly, and he was too tactful, so he couldn't do anything. relied on his wife to advance, and now he is the daughter of the queen of the middle palace, and he has been promoted to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The elders were polite on their faces, but they were actually a little contemptuous and contemptuous in their hearts.

Today, Xie Jun's bold remarks are deafening and exciting!

Elder Lu Ge lost no time in standing up and praised Xie Jun's high spirits.

The book of the household department is also full of praise. Sealing a Gong of Grace means rewarding good land with gold and silver, and there is also a lot of money every year. Xie Jun's statement, the Yu family's Duke of Cheng'en was completely extinguished. How much silver you have to save for the court!

Xie Jun Xie Shangshu, he is really a person who is hard to find!

……

Xie Shangshu, who has a high score and a bright festival, has a beautiful face and a bittersweet heart.

If he could, he wouldn't want to say these things against his will. However, Xie Mingxi had clearly told him that the title was not to even think about it. That being the case, it is natural to use this matter to smash up his prestige.

As a civil official, entering the cabinet is the ultimate dream!

Knighthood or something, don't want it!

Xie Shangshu meditated in his heart several times, as if he had hypnotized himself. After retreating, he walked out of the Jinluan Hall with his head held high.

As soon as he left the Jinluan Palace, Gonggong Wei greeted him attentively and said with a smile: "The queen mother sent someone to deliver a message, asking Xie Shangshu to retire from the court and go to the Fulin Palace for lunch." ”

Xie Jun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem." I went to the Fulin Palace, but I didn't agree with the ceremony. ”

Father-in-law Wei laughed in a low voice: "Xie Shangshu is the father of the queen's mother, father and daughter meet and have lunch together, where is it not polite?" Moreover, the emperor will also go to the Fulin Palace for dinner today, Xie Shangshu can just rest assured. ”

Xie Jun settled down and nodded.

So, the officials saw Gonggong Wei, the big celebrity next to the Son of Heaven, and led Xie Shangshu to the harem with a smile on his face.

Liu Yushi snorted secretly in his heart.

No wonder Xie Jun has so much confidence in speaking!

With the support of the queen mother and the emperor, it doesn't matter if you have a title or not. Xie Jun's career has been smooth and smooth, and the Xie family is already an upstart in the capital!

……

"What?"

Empress Dowager Yu, who was recuperating in the Jiaofang Palace, was churning with anger and blood after hearing about the turmoil in the court: "Xie Jun really said these words in public? ”

Father-in-law Lu, who came to deliver the letter, bowed his head.

Zhilan, who was standing on the edge of the bed, quickly held the arm of the Empress Dowager Yu, and hurriedly whispered: "The Empress Dowager!" The Queen Mother is fine! ”

Empress Dowager Yu closed her eyes, took a few breaths of rapid breath, and her face swelled with a strange flush.

After a while, Empress Dowager Yu opened her eyes again, and the anger in her eyes had been suppressed: "The mourning family already knows, retreat!" ”

Father-in-law Lu should be again and respectfully retire.

Before leaving, Grandpa Lu glanced at Zhilan worriedly.

Zhilan was busy taking care of Empress Dowager Yu and never looked back.

Gonggong Lu sighed secretly and withdrew from the Jiaofang Palace.

After serving the three emperors, Gonggong Lu felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Although Emperor Jianwen is a little absurd in terms of women, he is diligent in government affairs, and he can be regarded as a generation of Ming monarchs. Emperor Jian'an was too far away, and he tossed himself to the ground of Huangquan.

As for the new emperor......

Father-in-law Lu knows countless people, but he can't see Sheng Hong's mind.

Sealing the title of Duke of Cheng'en can appease the Empress Dowager Yu, win filial piety, and appease the Yu family. It's not a big deal.

What is the purpose of the Son of Heaven doing the opposite?
