6 min read1,422 words
The eldest princess went out of the palace with high spirits.
To be in charge of the Imperial City Division, this is a good thing she never
dreamed of. The Imperial City Division is more than just monitoring the
Imperial City, its roots and feet cover the entire Datang.
Of course, in the eyes of many people, the Imperial City Division is a yamen
at the root of the Imperial City.
But in fact, this is not the case.
King Gong succeeded Zhenjunhou to take over the Imperial City Division.
Without a face-to-face handover, without any suggestions from his
predecessors, the Imperial City Division that King Gong took over was
originally a half-hearted man.
In addition, King Gong didn't wholeheartedly work with the Imperial City
Division, and his control over the Imperial City Division would be discounted
again.
The direct result was that this was supposed to be the emperor’s eyes and
ears, and it was basically abolished.
The eldest princess had long been plotting to be the emperor, and secretly
infiltrating the various functional departments of Datang, it has been going
on.
Now, taking over the Imperial City Division is definitely a plus for the
princess.
Looking back at the palace, the face of the princess was full of smiles,
because she was one step closer to entering the palace.
"His Royal Highness, Lord Guo has entered the city!"
On the way to the Imperial City Siyamen with the hands of the princess, a
female guard hurriedly reported.
The grandfather of the country, naturally refers to the man of the eldest
princess, Dingguo, Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo, who had obtained the will of Emperor Yongping, led a guard and horse
to the northern border to quell the savages. He didn't say anything, but also
lost his troops and replaced them, so that several cities in the northern
border were robbed and cleaned by the savages.
When Mr. Xu was killed, Xu Shuo had a reason to return to Beijing for the
funeral.
It's just that, I don't know how he tossed, it was so many days before he
returned to the capital.
"ignore him!"
The eldest princess thought for a moment, and finally waved casually.
She was not sincere when she married Xu Shuo.
It was just to ease the constraints of the law of cause and effect on her.
In fact, when she knew what Xu Shuo was about, the princess once regretted
that she hadn't seen Xu Shuo and Xu Old Taijun earlier.
Otherwise, the princess would rather suffer the constraints of the cause and
effect, and would never come with Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo, the mud really can't support the wall.
Nowadays, without the mother-in-law of Mrs. Xu, Xu Shuo, the person who was
removed from Xu Mansion, is in an embarrassing situation.
The most funny thing is that it was obviously going back to Beijing for the
funeral, but after so many days after returning, I really don't know what was
in this man's head.
The princess did not want to be distracted by irrelevant people and things.
She had to concentrate on taking down the Imperial City Division, completely
cutting off the eyes and ears of her good nephew, so as to stand in the palace
and become the supreme ninth-five-sage.
...
Xu Shuo was miserable.
Leading troops to the north to destroy the savage tribe, the result was ambush
by the savage tribe, a big defeat, and the soldiers and horses they brought
were even more damaged.
Everyone feels that the savages are barbaric and have no brains.
But only Xu Shuo, who had fought against the savage, knew that the savage was
very cunning. The tactics of the Savage King's use of troops are by no means a
height that an uncivilized person can reach.
He received the news that Mr. Xu was killed and passed away, and immediately
chose to go back to Beijing for the funeral.
One is to stay away from the battlefield, and the other is to take this
opportunity to return to the Xu Mansion.
Unfortunately, some people don't allow it.
Xu Shuo was stopped by someone on the way back to Beijing.
He didn't know the origin of these people.
These people just caught him, locked him up, served them deliciously, and kept
him closed for several days before they let him go.
From beginning to end, Xu Shuo didn't know what these people were doing.
But he knew that he had missed the opportunity to return to Xu Mansion. Even
more, he had to carry an unfilial infamy.
All this should be what the person who caught him wanted.
He doesn't know who is calculating him, but he knows that this person has
hatred with him, and may even have hatred with Xu Fu, and his mother Xu
Laotaijun.
It is a pity that Xu Shuo, who wants to understand all of this, has already
rushed into the capital.
These days when he was caught and locked up, it was delicious and delicious,
and people were naturally raised well. Those people even let him bathe every
day. When releasing him, he also prepared a neat and tidy suit, a brand new
one.
I didn't want to understand what these people wanted to do. By the time I
wanted to understand, it was already too late.
The people in the capital saw him in a very good state of mind. No matter how
he explained it, it had no meaning. After all, this was arrested, and it could
be delicious and drinkable for hospitality, bathing, and new clothes to wear.
Who would believe this?
Xu Shuo, who wants to understand everything, really understands what it means
to be wronged.
However, no matter how frustrated Xu Shuo felt, he had already returned to the
capital and had to go to Xu Mansion to worship.
Without being a servant, Xu Shuo can imagine what he will encounter when he
enters Xu Mansion in such a good state, but he can't resist.
Someone in the dark dug a big hole for him, and he has fallen.
Xu Shuo could only endure the strange and weird gazes of the people in the
capital, and rode his horse straight to the Xu Mansion.
Changle, Yongan, and Antai heard that Xu Shuo came back for the funeral, and
they all went to the gate to greet them. In the three people's thoughts, Xu
Shuo should be in the dust, with a tired expression on his face.
But the fact is that Xu Shuo is in a good state of mind, and he doesn't dress
like he has gone through a long journey.
"What does Dingguo mean here?"
Seeing Xu Shuo's appearance, Duke Changle was the first to attack.
"Cousin, I'll give my mother incense!"
Xu Shuo understood it right now, and faced Changle Gong's troubles, he could
only endure it.
"Duke Dingguo joked, but your aunt does not have your son under the name of my
father-in-law!"
Although Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an had a lot of criticisms about Old
Taijun Xu, who had been in charge of Xu Mansion, they still respected Old
Taijun Xu. After all, this person's identity and prestige were there.
Furthermore, Xu Mansion with Old Madam Xu is much stronger than Xu Mansion
without Old Madam Xu.
Xu Shuo came to worship Mr. Xu in this way, how could Lord Changle not be
angry?
As for how much his anger was purely for Mrs. Xu, it is hard to say.
"If Duke Dingguo has nothing else to do, let's leave!"
Changlegong directly replaced Yongangong and Antaigong who were next to him,
and made the decision.
In Xu Mansion without Mr. Xu, Changle, Yong'an and Antai must unite sincerely
in order to continue to maintain the glory of the first honorable family.
Otherwise, the three can only be separated and become noble nobles that are
indistinguishable from the other nobles.
"Cousin, is this really the case?"
Xu Shuo raised his eyes and looked at Duke Changle, "The reason why I came
back to Beijing like this, and the reason why I came back so late, are all
calculated."
"Whether the other party is targeting me alone or Xu Mansion, it's not
necessarily true!"
Xu Shuo can't fight, but he still has some brains.
At this moment, he understands that if he is blocked outside the door of Xu
Mansion, the name of filial piety on his body will be completely branded, and
it will be impossible to wash it off.
