Chapter 258: The Marriage Was Delayed Again

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng returned home with a gloomy face.

Whether it was his personal entourage or the family members who came out to welcome him in the house, they didn't dare to speak, for fear of touching the mold.

Mrs. Dou just watched the people tidy up the warehouse, Ling Tiancheng's old rule, on March 3, all the bedding and clothes at home should be taken out to dry, and used patchouli aromatherapy, so that there would be no insects for a year.

Seeing that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was back, he walked over to say hello.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng just agreed in his throat, he didn't even have a long mouth, Mrs. Dou and he have been married for many years, so they naturally knew that he was not in a good mood, and when he saw that he had just come back from the court, he was probably angry in the court.

Although Mrs. Dou also complained about Prime Minister Xiao's abuse, the two of them were husband and wife after all, and honor and disgrace were one.

Seeing Prime Minister Xiao like this, of course he couldn't rest assured, so he told his companion room, and Liu's mother told her to watch the little maids move the boxes and cages out.

He walked inside, poured a cup of tea himself, handed it to Prime Minister Xiao and said, "The prime minister is not looking good today, but who are you arguing with in the court?" ”

Prime Minister Xiao slammed the teacup on the table, and the lid of the teacup slid directly to the ground and shattered.

"Arguments? How can I tell so many people with one mouth?! As soon as Prime Minister Xiao opened his mouth, he said in an angry tone: "You don't know, there are actually six or seven people in the court today to join me, but it seems to have been discussed!" But the excerpts handed over by the states and counties below actually impeached me! Today's morning dynasty is all about attending my conference! ”

"W, how do you mean that?" When Mrs. Dou heard this, she couldn't help but panic: "Why do these people want to join the prime minister?" ”

"It's just hearsay, it's all nonsense." Prime Minister Xiao Cheng spat and said, "The emperor naturally won't believe their words!" ”

It turned out that when I went to court today, there were six or seven officials who participated in Prime Minister Xiao together.

It is said that he interfered in the appointment and dismissal of officials and officials, and employs nepotism, and the people he recommended are all incompetent and greedy for money, whether in the central or local government, they only know how to blindly loot and do not do practical things.

Xiao Cheng has been the prime minister for many years, so naturally he will not be thrown down because of these few people, but it is enough for him to be in a hurry, and a few days ago, the emperor just hinted that he wanted Xiao Liuli's Nian Geng.

These people who are not long-sighted just join him at this juncture, in case their daughter's marriage is ruined because of this incident, it will be worth the loss.

"Then Prince Zhaojing can go to court today?" Mrs. Dou asked worriedly, he naturally thought of Xiao Liuli's marriage.

"The prince went to inspect the preparation of Gyeonggi for the emperor a few days ago, so when the emperor saw his father, he told him not to go to the court in the next few days," Xiao Chengxiang said: "But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the prince will not go to the court, and this will inevitably blow to his ears." ”

"Oh, if someone adds branches and leaves to the prince's ear, it is better for him to listen to it in the court, so that he can listen to you and distinguish a few words, so as not to listen to it and believe it," Mrs. Dou said anxiously: "Why don't you go to the palace in person and tell the prince about this matter, so as to save the villain's nonsense." ”

"What a woman's opinion!" Prime Minister Xiao flicked his sleeves and said in a stern tone: "I'll go and tell the prince in person what's going on, isn't this self-exposing his shortcomings, and there are no three hundred taels of silver here?" ”

If he personally went to Zhaojing Palace, told Shen Tuwen about it, saying that those people were falsely accusing him, would Shen Tuwen believe him?

Therefore, Xiao Bonian must not talk to Shen Tuwen about these things, such words will only make him lower his value.

He must make an upright appearance, the so-called body is not afraid of shadows. He didn't do anything like that, so why was he weak-minded?

In fact, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng does have deep roots, and he has cultivated many of his own henchmen in the court over the years. In addition, there are many people who are attached to him through various relationships, which is not something he can simply control.

More than half of the people who were impeached today were not personally appointed by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, but they were considered to be in his faction through various connections, so these people began to impeach him frantically.

There have been party disputes in all dynasties, and when it comes to the Great Qin State, it is no exception, Xiao Bonian, as the minister of a country, there are many people who want to have a relationship with him, and there are not a few who want to overthrow him.

"Then what did the emperor say?" After all, Mrs. Dou is a woman, and she can't help but be terrified when she mentions these things.

"What can the emperor say, naturally send someone down to investigate thoroughly," Xiao Bonian said this, took a sip of the tea that had been cold, and said with a sneer: "Even if you investigate it thoroughly, I am not afraid of thorough investigation, there have been many times to investigate me for so many years, so let's talk about finding out what is wrong with me Xiao someone?" It's all those who try to falsely accuse me of climbing me, the exile of the demoted and the exiled, but unfortunately some people always want to be the first bird, so let them do it. ”

"So in the meaning of the prime minister, this time is nothing of a big deal?" Seeing that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng looked like an old god, Mrs. Dou was not so worried.

"I'm just afraid that this trouble, Liuli's marriage will be delayed again," Xiao Cheng sighed helplessly and said: "This group of things who don't know death are here to spoil the good things of the old man!" ”

After saying that, he stood up and left in a huff, and went to his newly bought concubine again.

When Mrs. Dou saw Prime Minister Xiao leaving, she was so angry that she stomped her feet.

The only thing she can rely on now is Xiao Liuli, to be precise, Xiao Liuli married Prince Zhaojing, if this family affair becomes a natural good, otherwise, Xiao Chengxiang's status is not guaranteed.

"Mother, what are you doing here?" I don't know when Xiao Liuli walked in, came to Mrs. Dou and gently pushed her.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about some things from last year, and some accounts are not clear," Mrs. Dou smiled and covered up her words: "Liuli, where did you call here?" ”

"I just went to watch Yu'er have breakfast," Xiao Liuli smiled slightly, and saw the broken teacup lid on the ground: "I see that the weather is very good today, and I want to ask my mother for an idea, but can I ask Yu'er to dress warmer and go to the yard for a walk?" ”

"The weather is really good today," Mrs. Dou said, looking out: "It's just that you have to dress tightly, walk around outside twice or go back to the house, it's easy to get sick in the spring." ”

Xiao Liuli saw that her mother refused to say, so she stopped asking.

Her younger brother Xiao Yu has been recuperating for several months, and his health is much better than before, and he can already get out of bed and walk around.

Xiao Liuli knew that the more stuffy she was in the house, the worse it would be for her health, so she took advantage of the good weather to ask her younger brother to come out and walk around more, and also add some yang energy.

Mrs. Dou looked at Xiao Liuli's back, and just sighed in her heart, who can see such a good daughter who is not a princess?
