Chapter 769

Xiao Yu was relatively indifferent to female sex before, so there were not many women in the mansion, plus those who fell ill and died, now there are only a few women left.

The woman who sealed the harem was an official of the previous court, and those courtiers who followed Xiao Yu were promoted, like Zhao Lingfeng who had been making money for Xiao Yu before, was made a second-rank household servant by His Majesty.

Next is Xie Yunjin, who was granted the title of cabinet bachelor by His Majesty.

As soon as this decree came out, the courtiers inside and outside were shocked.

Although the cabinet bachelor is from the official position of the second rank, but can enter the cabinet are the confidant ministers of His Majesty.

Xie Yunjin is going up, they have already confirmed that His Majesty can ascend the throne smoothly, thanks to the wife of Mrs. Xie's family, if it were not for her last shot, His Majesty might not be able to ascend the throne so smoothly, so His Majesty rewards you for your merits and rewards. Feng Xie Yunjin and the others understood, but everyone was still surprised to let Xie Yunjin enter the cabinet and become a cabinet bachelor.

But in the end he didn't say anything.

Xiao Yu bestowed Xie Yunjin into the cabinet because he knew that Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao worked out all the things that were beneficial to the country before. It is normal for him to enter the cabinet to assist him with such ability. He also hoped that he would come up with more useful things. What is good for the country?

After Xiao Yu bestowed the titles on the ministers of the court, Lu Jiao was removed from the post of director of the medical department, and Qi Lei was given the post of director of the medical department.

But the emperor and the courtiers said that this matter was brought up by Mr. Lu himself.

The courtiers were quite surprised, but the shrewd people in the court understood after thinking about it that Mr. Lu directly resigned from his position in order not to block Mr. Xie's way.

This woman is really too smart.

Xiao Yu began to settle the matter after awarding the rewards. The people of King Jin's faction have been flustered recently, waiting to be liquidated by His Majesty. Once the emperor and the courtiers, they also accepted their fate.

Soon, there was a bloodbath in the court hall. Many officials were imprisoned by the King of Jin, and their families were ransacked. The capital was full of bloody storms. In this bloody storm, His Majesty the Emperor announced an imperial decree in the early court.

"Fortunately, the emperor said that Xie Wenyu, the fourth son of Xie Yunjin, is my bloodline. When I went to Ningzhou on business, I was plotted and hunted down. Fortunately, Chen Ying, the mother of Xie Wenyu, rescued me and took good care of me. I was able to see the light of day again. Later, I thanked her for saving her and took her as my concubine. Later, she died of dystocia, and I fostered the second son of the emperor in the Xie family. Now I am enthroned as the emperor, and I took back the second son of the emperor, Xie Wenyu, and renamed him Xiao Wenyu. Ying is a good concubine."

His Majesty the emperor issued an imperial decree, not only the front court was in an uproar, but also the people in the rear palace were in an uproar.

The emperor actually had a son, one of the Xie family's quadruplets.

Everyone in the big capital of Nuo knew about the Xie family's quadruplets, and naturally they also knew that the quadruplets were excellent.

Now His Majesty the Emperor said that the youngest of the quadruplets turned out to be His Majesty's second son.

My God, no wonder the emperor gave Xie Yunjin to the cabinet, this is his confidant, if it weren't for the confidant, could he raise the child in his house?

Although the people in the previous court were in an uproar, they didn't say anything at all. In the harem, two women were unhappy, one of them was the Queen Mother.

The queen mother is the daughter of Duke Zhao's mansion. Duke Zhao has always supported King Yan. This time, he was conferred the title of first-class Duke Protector by His Majesty.

Zhao Guogong's mansion also had a daughter in the palace, but the woman died of dystocia when she gave birth to her daughter.

The queen mother has always been thinking about it, and when her majesty ascends the throne as the emperor, the Zhao Guogong's mansion will send a prostitute into the palace, so that the woman will give birth to the blood of the Zhao family.

It was planned well, but it turns out that there is still a son hiding outside the son. Hiding a son is not a problem. The key is that he has not told her mother from the beginning to the end. What does this mean? It means that the son is even on guard against her. This made Queen Mother Zhao very unhappy.

Except that Queen Mother Zhao was not happy, the queen was going crazy.

The queen's mother's family itself is not obvious. Back then, because the former emperor was afraid of Zhao Guogong, he gave King Yan the daughter of the Zhongyong uncle's mansion as Princess Yan.

This time, His Majesty ascended the throne and appointed Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion as the Hou Mansion, the Empress was very happy.

At present, although there are three princes in the palace, her son is the oldest and the best, and he is still a direct descendant, so the crown prince is within easy reach.

She never dreamed that there was actually a son outside the emperor's palace, and that son was born to him and his loved one. Just from the fact that he hid the child outside, it can be seen that he has a strong affection for that child. emotion.

The queen didn't know, and the emperor didn't know about it until later, but she didn't know at this time, so she was very angry. The emperor had always been lukewarm to the child he gave birth to, but in the end he loved the child outside. Now Seeing that he was enthroned and became emperor, he took the child back.

What does he want to do, want that child to take her son's crown prince? He can't think about it.

The queen dropped several things with a ferocious face.

Outside the palace, Xiao Zhen just walked in, saw his mother throwing something, and immediately understood what happened.

Xiao Zhen's complexion was also not very good-looking. He thought that he was the crown prince, but now there is a second son, and this person is the fourth son of the Xie family.

Xiao Zhen knew about that guy. He was not only smart, but also very good-looking. If it wasn't for this person, Xiao Zhen would not have such a sense of crisis. Now he is very worried, worried that his crown prince will be taken away.

"Queen, don't patronize and get angry, think about what to do now?"

After the queen got angry, she calmed down, and said through gritted teeth, "Even if he lets him into the palace, so what? Your mother's queen and I are the queen, and you are the one who is a descendant. The woman outside him is just a concubine. It's just Concubine Liang, he is incomparable to you, so calm down."

How about Xiao Zhenneng? Things are already like this, so I can only calm down and think about the future.

"Mother, right now, it's better to let my father decree to bestow me as the crown prince."

As long as he is not a prince, he will feel uneasy.

The queen nodded: "Okay, I'll let your grandfather find a way to bring this matter up to the courtiers."

But the Queen was worried that His Majesty would not agree to this matter. Firstly, His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and secondly, what did His Majesty mean by announcing this decree at this time?

The queen always felt that this was not a good thing, she thought about it, and thought of Lu Jiao who raised Xiao Wenyu.

Thinking of how he had been showing affection to this woman for the past two years, he never expected to be tricked by her in the end. Not only did she raise the second son of the emperor, but she also raised the second son of the emperor so well.

Isn't she against her? And when she showed her kindness before, didn't she always laugh?

Thinking of this, the queen's expression became ferocious again: "Lu Jiao, I won't let you go, you just wait for me, I want you to regret raising the second son of the emperor."
