Chapter 477: Farewell to the old man and return to his hometown

Cheng Jingzhou didn't expect that he would be directly promoted to the household servant at such a young age, which was still very stressful.

After all, there was envy, jealousy, and unconvincing in the eyes of the big guy when he looked at him.

There were always seven or eight out of ten who thought that he could be promoted so quickly by relying on the light of the Yue family.

But those who experienced the palace change that day knew that if it weren't for him, the Great Governance Dynasty might have lost another prince.

Therefore, the saint just promoted him to an official, which is already a small reward.

Sure enough, a few days later, another decree arrived.

Mrs. Cheng and Xie Rongzhao have now become Mrs. Fate, and they are both from the fourth grade.

Generally speaking, it is rare for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have the same grade.

In addition, the reward of flowing water can be the envy of people.

Cheng Jingzhou should be the youngest household servant in the history of the Dazhi Dynasty.

Xie Xiuwen was crowned the first assistant, and now King An is under house arrest, King Fu is gone, and Xie Xiuwen has been awarded the title of prince and concubine.

Obviously, the saint's preferred candidate for the crown prince is the fifth prince Li Heng.

This kind of thing, everyone knows it.

The people who came to befriend the five princes were one after another, but fortunately, Xie Xiuwen had reminded him in advance, so he was still the same as before, he should go to school, he should practice martial arts, and sometimes he would get some rare food from outside to eat and eat with the saint.

I don't know if it's because I really like this son, so every time I am accompanied by him, the saint can eat half a bowl of rice.

The chaos that caused by King Fu and King An before really made the saint feel depressed for a while.

But he is the emperor, and everyone else can be silently sad behind closed doors, even if he lies in bed for a year and a half, he is fine, but he is the emperor, and he can't fall.

So, I had to stand up again to deal with all this.

Fortunately, the fifth prince is filial, even if most of the courtiers have already reacted to his preferred candidate for the crown prince, but this child is still as always, and he is not too proud.

Although Emperor Jingwen made up his mind, it didn't mean that he was willing to watch himself grow away from power day by day, and the rise of a new generation of emperors was bound to make him feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Therefore, in front of the emperor, the five princes always look childish, and sometimes they will deliberately tell some folk jokes to make the saint laugh.

Now that Emperor Jingwen has put on an attitude, he should take action.

The first thing is about the selection of the five princesses.

Li Heng was not crowned king, he was just a bald prince, and he did not have a title on his body, and there were King Fu and King An in front of him, so he couldn't be revealed, so the nobles of each family were also staring at those related magnates, who would have thought that the five princes could succeed?

The Xie family on Anhe Street began to ponder again at this time.

In the past few years, the Xie family has been in a state of sunset, and now more than half of the family's property has been sold by them, otherwise it is difficult to maintain the luxury style of this big family.

In the long run, this family is afraid that it will not be dispersed!

And what Xie Qing said before that he came to his relatives to live, in fact, it was just an excuse, Wang Ximeng moved away with their front foot, and the back foot of this house was sold.

It didn't take long for the Xie family's big mansion to be unaffordable.

It's not that their family really has no money, but when Dali Temple investigated the case, the two sons of the Xie family were involved.

Under the anger of the saint, the Xie family still wants to be good?

Emperor Jingwen died of a son and abolished a son, originally he was not happy in his heart, and he was thinking of finding someone to come over to vent, you hit it directly at this time, who are you not fixing?

All the official positions of the Xie family have been dismissed, and in addition, they will also face the risk of being raided.

The will to raid the family has not been made for a long time, like a knife hanging over the head of the Xie family, which can fall at any time.

Now everyone in the Xie family is confined, and the entire Xie Mansion can only enter but not leave.

Two days later, the holy decree came down, the Xie family was raided, and everyone in the Xie family was sent back to their hometown.

In other words, no matter whether you have a house in the capital or not, you can't stay in the capital.

Fortunately, the ancestral home of the Xie family is not too far, after all, it is already separated from the Gaoyang Xie family by many branches.

Moreover, since Xie Xiuwen's grandfather was framed and stayed away from the capital, he has completely separated from the clan, and it has nothing to do with the Xie family in the capital.

Since then, the once prosperous Xie family on Anxing Street has come to a complete end.

The people of Xie Mansion on Anhe Street walked empty, and it was so desolate that it was frightening.

Because Wang Ximeng was far away from the capital, and the classes she came into contact with were no longer the same as before, it was not until many years later that she learned that the Xie clan in the capital had fallen.

Xie Xiuwen didn't take action to suppress any party, even in the faction of Zheng Ge Lao, who had made him stumble, Xie Xiuwen didn't make another move, he just wanted to do things in peace and stability, and he also hoped that his hands could be clean.

Zheng Ge Lao's faction is completely dormant, some people are not without other thoughts, but now that the holy will is not clear, they don't dare to act rashly, what if Zheng Ge Lao is activated again?

Of course, this kind of extravagant hope is destined to be unrealized.

After Xie left the capital, Zheng Ge asked someone to go to the fold, wanting to tell the old man to return to his hometown.

Why not in person?

The Holy Decree told him to introspect at home, where did he dare to go out?

In this way, three excerpts were connected, and Emperor Jingwen could be regarded as giving Zheng Ge enough face and giving the order.

According to the law of great governance, when an ordinary official returns to his hometown, then some of the benefits he enjoys will be correspondingly halved.

For example, if the official is 400 stone a year, 700 acres of vocational land, not to mention the rest, only these two things, if it is normal to return to the hometown, you can also get 200 stone a year, and the vocational field will also be converted into 3 or 400 acres, most of which will be assigned to the official's hometown.

In addition, the local government will also arrange the power class, monthly miscellaneous and so on.

It's just that after Zheng Gelao's excerpt was criticized, the saint only instructed the household department to complete the matter of Lu Mi, and did not mention anything else.

In this way, the courtiers understood what the saint meant.

Elder Zheng Ge also knew that his retirement was not good.

Whether it is with King Fu or King An, they do have dealings.

At that time, Zheng Ge Lao still claimed to be a smart person, no matter which prince he cooperated with, he would not clearly express his intention to support this side.

But Rao is so, and he is still implicated.

Mainly, there are many cases spit out from the mouths of those criminals who have been imprisoned, among which there is the figure of Zheng Gelao, and the saint only allowed him to sue the old man and return to his hometown, which is already extraordinarily forgiving him.

Zheng Ge Lao completely withdrew from the court, and finally came out with all his beards and tails, although he also paid a lot of price for this, but the family left Beijing completely, and his nephew Zheng Xian was even more miserable.
