My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After saying this, it seemed that the emperor would be a little unkind if he didn't allow it anymore, so he agreed to the matter with a wave of his hand.

Although the title of the Yan family was taken back, the emperor immediately promoted Yan Shilang to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, ranking first among the six departments.

Only then did everyone present understand that Marquis Yan had a good move to make progress by retreating, exchanging a title with little real power for Yan Shangshu, who was very likely to become the next prime minister. Such an ability was something that an old fox like him could only imagine.

From then on, Empress Yan and the Earl's Mansion who relied on Prince Furong will become a thing of the past, and the new emperor's confidant Yan Shangshu will rise. As long as he can go smoothly in the court, the Yan family will never fall!

After the next court, those ministers who had been close to Lord Yan gathered around him one after another.

What are Mr. Hou's plans for the future?

I am not a Marquis anymore. A common man cannot deserve your love. After the little girl is taken out of the palace, we will leave Sui'an City. As for the plan, just take it one step at a time. When you are old, you will be involved in these things. , leave it to the younger generations to do it themselves.”

After he finished speaking, he walked away neatly, leaving everyone deep in thought again.

Tell me, could it be that the Yan family knew something? That's why it was so clean?

It's hard to say. Didn't the daughter of the Li family marry into the Duke's Palace? The Duke's Palace and the General's Palace are inextricably linked. Who knows if Yan Shangshu heard some rumors from the Yue family and acted like this!

Our new emperor is so secretive that it's really hard to predict what his next move will be.

After a few casual chats, everyone dispersed.

But Yan Houye's kind words were still taken into the hearts of many people, so many old ministers also knew that this was no longer their world, so they either asked to abdicate in favor of others, or in the name of recuperation It also gradually left the core power department.

Those who left, dispersed, changed, and were promoted. Those who were willing to stay were those the emperor wanted him to stay, and those who left were quickly promoted, so there was no turmoil in the government. Calm has been restored, and it is even a little more prosperous than before.

In the turbulent April of the Changle year, it was already clear and bright in the middle of the court.

The new dynasty had a new look. After Yan Shangshu was promoted, Xing Shilang was also promoted to the post of Shangshu. One of them was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the other was in charge of the Ministry of War. Although they were old ministers, they became the left and right humerus in front of the new emperor, which made many people They were all filled with emotion.

Everyone once thought that the Xing family and the Yan family would fight to the death over the fight for their heirs, but they didn't expect that the final outcome of the two families would be so peaceful.

When the crabapple flowers were in full bloom, Gu Shaoyu and his wife finally rushed to Cezhou with their family and settled in the General's Mansion here.

Most of the objects in this general's mansion were still there when Marshal Gu was old. Therefore, when Ni Yang came here to clean up, he didn't move much. He just added some more according to the habits of everyone in the family, so it looked a bit nondescript. .

Du Jingyi looked around with Butler He and Aunt Dou, then shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Ni Yang with a wry smile.

It's hard for Vice General Ni.

Madam, you're welcome. I can still handle this small matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu gave him a look of disgust, and then exposed him ruthlessly.

newᴄᴏᴍ

Madam, what you mean is that you can make this place so ugly. Can't you tell?

Huh? Is it ugly?

Ni Yang looked around and thought it was okay. Why did it look ugly?

Aunt Dou stood up and said with laughter.

Lieutenant General Ni is a talented person who can kill enemies at the front. He can naturally take care of such a small matter in the back house. However, our wife and the old ladies and ladies who came with us still need to tidy up a little more before they can move in. .”

Ni Yang sighed, then spread his hands helplessly and said.

I don't have a wife at home, otherwise it would be better if she came to take charge of this matter. It would be a joke to ask the wife to see it. If there is anything inappropriate, just give your orders and someone will come and take it away.

Vice General Ni, thank you for your hard work. We have brought a lot of servants this time. There is more than enough to clean up the yard. If you have nothing to do, please help build a martial arts training ground in the backyard. The boys at home have to practice every day. Fists and kicks, that, we are just laymen.

Du Jingyi's words were pleasant, and Ni Yang thought the task was good, so he immediately agreed and then went to arrange manpower.

After he left, Gu Shaoyu looked at Du Jingyi apologetically and spoke.

If I had known about it, I would have sent Aunt Dou and Butler He over first to take a look. This boy Ni Yang is usually very effective in organizing the military camp, but he didn't expect that the house he built turned out like this. It's really a joke to Madam.

The general didn't use Vice Admiral Ni in the right place. You see, the training ground must be better and more suitable than the one we have in Sui'an City!

Gu Shaoyu smiled, and his whole person exuded a somewhat flamboyant calmness of time.

This was a side of him that he had not shown in Sui'an City or Jinling City. Du Jingyi could feel it, and at the same time he also knew that it was because Gu Shaoyu basically grew up in Cezhou throughout his boyhood.

Although he was devastated by the death of his whole family, there were also memories of his youth that made him high-spirited. Therefore, Du Jingyi was happy and hoped that the existence of himself and his family could revive Gu Shaoyu's warm memories of Cezhou. a bit more.

Then, he looked around and said immediately.

General, let's rest for a while. I will take Butler He and Aunt Dou to settle the eldest aunt and others first, and then go to see the area that needs to be reorganized in the yard. There is also a place where the master lives. Don't be careless. He will follow us. I’ve come all the way to Cezhou, so don’t let anyone feel wronged.”

Du Jingyi had not even sat down to take a sip of water, but she was busy again. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu did not delay her, but stood up and said.

Then let me take some of the boys to the military camp. The lieutenants have been waiting to deal with these boys for a long time. It's good to go and meet them first!

The couple had discussed the matter of entering the military camp a long time ago.

But I only went once or twice along the way, and it was just troublesome one after another, so I couldn't find the time to do it. Now it's better.

The Huben army returned to Cezhou and continued to guard the border, and their family also followed. Such an opportunity would be useless if it is not practiced, so Gu Shaoyu took the children out. (End of chapter)
