“Speaking of which, the Xu family was once a big family.”
Chief advisor Wang sighed with emotion.
Xu niannian’s eyelids twitched. After a moment of silence, he said, “”How does the Imperial court plan to resolve the matter in Yunzhou?”
After Emperor yuanjing was executed, two dossiers were classified as confidential and sealed in the secret room of the inner cabinet.
One of them could only be read by officials of rank three and above, as well as Grand scholars.
The contents of the file were that Tan Hua lang, the second disciple of the supervisor, Xu Pingfeng, had colluded with the descendants of the royal family 500 years ago. They had established a base in Yunzhou, secretly developed it, and tried to rebel.
He brought up the old incident of the former Qi party colluding with the witch God religion and supporting the mountain bandits of Yunzhou.Emperor Yuan jing sold his official position and title, which led to the private transportation of Yuzhou’s iron ore to Yunzhou.
At present, the night watchmen, censors, and the Supreme Court were all secretly and strictly investigating all the capital officials, screening for any possible spies.
Officials from various places were also being investigated in secret.
The other dossiers recorded the truth that Emperor Yuan jing, the North-guarding Prince, and Emperor Zhen de were the same person.
This file was not made public, so few people knew about it.
The Crown Prince, oh no, Emperor Yongxing intended to pass down this secret as a family secret.
“I’ve already had the borders of Qingzhou and Yongzhou set up defenses. The
Imperial court has sent several imperial edicts to Yunzhou, requesting the Yunzhou commander, yang Chuannan, to return to the capital to report on his work, but there has been no news.”
Wang shoufu said in a deep voice, ‘
“Yunzhou hasn’t rebelled yet, but it’s only a matter of time. The night watchman’s spy in Yunzhou was still there, and there was no movement from Yunzhou’s Army and officials. However, the Imperial court had already lost control of them.
“Your Big Uncle has been in Yunzhou for many years, his plans are far-reaching,”
“So the Imperial court’s meaning is to wait and see?” Xu niannian frowned.
Chief advisor Wang nodded and said, “His Majesty plans to launch an attack on the descendants of the royal family from 500 years ago in the coming autumn. ” But before that, Yunzhou may act first, and the Imperial court is already prepared.” yes. Xu niannian understood. so, the National Treasury doesn’t have any extra money for disaster relief.
Wang shoufu was silent.
There was a moment of silence in the spacious house.
Second sister-in-law, Zhao Yurong, cleared her throat and said in a educating tone, ‘
“Young miss, the charcoal in your house is different from the one here. This is the beast gold charcoal used by the royal family and can only be used in the Imperial Palace.”
In fact, with Da Feng’s current corrupt style, there were many cases of reselling beast gold charcoal in the black market. There were more or less such charcoal in the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but they generally would not use it when entertaining guests.
They were all enjoying it secretly.
Only the Wang clan, who had received a reward, could use it openly.
His sister-in-law, li xianghan, picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it in her mouth. She looked at Xu lingyue who was sitting diagonally opposite her and smiled.
we’re all a family. Later, I’ll get the servants to pack up two Jin of beast gold charcoal. It’s not a rare item.
The message revealed by these words was that although it was a reward from the Emperor, it was nothing to the Wang clan.
Although the top wealthy families had some things that slipped through their fingers, it was something that ordinary people would never be able to enjoy in their lifetime.
Madam Wang smiled as she sipped on her tea. She needed her two daughters-in-law to ” show off ” the Wang family’s heritage, and to set off her daughter’s golden status.
thank you, sister-in-law, ” Xu lingyue said in a soft voice. but we have sixty catties of beast gold charcoal at home. I think it’ll be enough for this winter.
Her voice was soft and her expression was sincere. It was hard to tell that she was showing off.
The room suddenly fell silent. The women of the Wang family all had strange expressions. The snobbish sister-in-law asked in a low voice,
“You bought it from the black market? Sixty Jin, how much silver would that cost
Madam Wang coughed and used her eyes to stop her daughter-in-law from asking. She said indifferently,
“Lingyue, the beast gold charcoal is an Imperial item. But this kind of thing could only be done and not said. If word got out, the palace would punish him.
In the future, don’t talk about it in public, understand?”
Madam Wang’s words were not tactful, but a serious warning.
This Xu family was too bold. 60 Jin of beast gold charcoal was not a small amount. How could they buy it like this? just because the Xu family was a new upstart, they were so arrogant. In the future, they might be a relative who would ruin things …
Second sister-in-law’s father held a position in the court of judicial review, so he was particularly sensitive to this.
In the capital, nouveau riche who were smug after gaining power often did not have a good ending.
Xu lingyue shook her head and said innocently, “”lt’s a reward from Princess huaiqing and Princess Lin an.”
? Madam Wang was clearly taken aback, but she quickly regained her composure and did not speak.
“The two princesses gave it to you?” the eldest sister-in-law asked in surprise.
She and her second sister-in-law did not hide the confusion in their eyes. As rich ladies who lived in the courtyard, they were blocked from the outside world. They only knew that the eldest son of the Xu family was very powerful, but they did not know the details.
For example, the eldest son of the Xu family was a servant of three families. Two of them were the eldest daughter of the Emperor, Gao Badou, and the other was the most favored Lin ‘an.
“The two princesses are taking care of the Xu family for the sake of big brother,” Xu lingyue explained.
Xu dalang …
The two sisters-in-law suddenly became much more polite, perhaps because they had recalled the legend of Xu dalang, and the smiles on their faces became more enthusiastic.
“I heard from simu that Xu yinluo is no longer in the capital?” Madam Wang’s face turned serious.
“Big brother has gone out to travel.” Xu lingyue replied.
In the following chat, eldest and second sister-in-law kept “showing off their wealth,” always showing off the superiority of a wealthy family to highlight the Wang family’s illustrious status.
Eldest sister-in-law said, “Erlang holds a position in the Hanlin Academy. Although he’s a top noble, he doesn’t have much real power.” After you get married, try to be sent out after the new year..”
