In October of the seventh year of Xiaode, Li Changqing led the victorious army to Beijing. The emperor held a military parade in person. The army marched into the city shouting "long live". Looking at the raging army and the dazzling array of trophies, the people in the city were overjoyed, especially the emperor.

Longyan is delighted.

Naturally, the emperor granted Li Changqing the title of British Duke, and officials who had made meritorious service in the Eastern Expedition would be rewarded.

In December, Yue Zhongqi returned to Beijing with the order, presenting the spoils of war and the declarations of homage from various tribes in the Western Regions, as well as the new chief of the Heshuote tribe dancing in the Forbidden City.

According to the regulations, the emperor granted Yue Zhongqi the title of Duke of Cao. Officials who had made meritorious service in the Western Expedition would be rewarded.

At this point, the Xiaode Dynasty established three new dukes, twelve marquises, and fifteen earls.

In addition, Qiu Zhongshan, Yang Lin and other generals promoted by Emperor Xiaode.

Emperor Xiaode rebuilt a new honor system.

This system not only took away all the military rights of the original four princes and eight princes, but also had a very loud voice in the court. In a short period of time, the civil service system could not get involved at all.

In addition, Emperor Xiaode's eunuch system was also very powerful.

At this point, the three parties of the Great Zhou Dynasty had checks and balances, and Emperor Xiaode became the most powerful emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, at this point, the four bastards who were confiscated from Kong's house are no longer a concern, and the prisoners locked up in the Prison Temple can be released.

…

After the verdicts of several houses were made, Jia Mu and other innocent people were released, and Jia She, Jia Lian, and Baoyu were also released. Everyone met outside the prison, and Jia Min came to pick them up with the housekeeper of Lin Mansion.

Huan also came over and took them to the village that had been arranged in advance.

At the Ningguo Mansion, Butler Lin made arrangements. He first took Jia Rong, Youshi and Hu to the house bought with Xichun's private money. Butler Lin said: "This house was bought by the fourth girl with the money from her position as the county headmistress.

Master Zhen was sent here early and has been taken care of. Brother Rong and the two grandmothers will live here first."

"There is still a hundred acres of land around this house, so it will be given to the Ning Mansion first. The fourth girl said that I won't give you the land deed here yet, but just rent it to the three of you and take the flowers - the land rent here

I can have one hundred taels of silver a year, which is much richer than ordinary people, and it is enough to spend money."

"The fourth girl also said that if the three of you don't know how to restrain yourself, spend extravagant money, and spend money indiscriminately, she will definitely not take care of you anymore and let you fend for yourself. If the three of you know that you have repented and changed from now on, you will also be willing to do so.

Ansheng is living a good life, and she will take care of her nephew's studies in the future. Also, here is five hundred taels of silver, which was given by the fourth girl. One is for the three of them to spend time on, and the other is to take care of Uncle Zhen.

.”

Youshi said: "It's great that my aunt can do this."

After experiencing this disaster, Jia Rong's temperament changed drastically, and he survived. He immediately started to fetch water and light fire, preparing to settle down.

Jia Mu, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Jia Cong, Baoyu and his wife, as well as Aunt Zhou, Yuanyang, Bao Chan, She Yue who were bought back by Butler Lin, in the yard originally built by Wang Xifeng, Aunt Zhao and Tan Chun

, Jia Huan also came over, a crowd of people stood there, and the room immediately became crowded.

At this time, Jia She was talking about Wang Xifeng: "... How can people live in this place that is so small and rude? Go and tell your aunt to find another place for us to live. It is best to have a house with a five-level apartment in the city.

We need to bring a garden. Even though our family has failed, we still have several relatives. Their status is extremely valuable, so we can’t let others look down on us, right?"

No one else said anything. Jia Huan took a step forward and said, "If uncle doesn't want to live here, just get out. I want to see who in the whole capital dares to take care of people that Uncle Lin doesn't want to take care of."

Jia She was sternly spoken by Jia Huan's cold words. His face couldn't bear it, and he immediately became furious. But before he could speak, Jia Min came over and said calmly: "Brother, when the family has reached this point, you are like a tiger."

Why don't you stand up! What kind of prestige are you pretending to be here? Why don't you go to the city again and brag about it with your group of friends, or go to the stone idiot's house to look at the ancient fans and see if Shuntian Mansion will still help you.

busy?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia She immediately flinched and stood behind Jia's mother without any hope.

But everyone's eyes were still glaring at him angrily.

After all, the trigger for the Jia family's loss of power was that Jia She forcibly snatched Shi Duazi's fan and put him in jail.

The Jia family is in such a situation, and the biggest responsibility lies with Jia She.

He still has the face to be giggling here!

You don’t even have a title, so what else can you do?

At this moment, Butler Lin walked in and saluted Jia Min: "Madam, Ningguo Mansion has already taken care of it,"

"Yes." Jia Min nodded, then walked to Jia's mother and comforted her in a low voice.

Jia Mu asked: "Where are the mother and son of Zhu'er's family?"

Jia Min said: "Lan'er is studying at Jinyiwei Academy. Accommodation is arranged there, and there is a monthly salary. I heard from Yu'er that after Laner graduates, it is up to him to decide whether to take the imperial examination or enter Jinyiwei."

Mother Jia looked at Aunt Zhao, her mother and her son, and sighed: "Huan'er and his mother-in-law came to see us, but Zhu'er's family couldn't come. It's just that when a disaster is approaching, they all fly away!"

At this point, she held Jia Min's hand and said with tears, "Min'er, thank you for that."

Jia Min also shed tears and said: "I couldn't do anything before, and the master didn't dare to tell me too much. These were arranged by my uncle long ago. Your Majesty is so powerful that we can only abide by it and ask my mother to take charge of the housework."

Jia's mother also knew that this was not the time to be in pain, so she thought for a moment and agreed. She ordered Jia Lian to write a deed immediately, with Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian acting as guarantees, and Baoyu and Jia Huan both signing.

Because Jia Huan had the benefits of Jinyiwei, he took Aunt Zhao and Tanchun to live somewhere else. Li Wan and Jia Lan were not here either. In fact, at this time, the only people in the second room were Baoyu and his wife, and Aunt Zhou.

Jia Min talked to Jia Mu, and the following matters were naturally handled by Butler Lin. Butler Lin said to Baoyu and Xia Jingui: "The house and land here belong to you. If the second master and second wife are lucky enough to come back in the future, they will live here.

Do you two have any objections?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Baoyu asked hurriedly: "My uncle is very righteous. Baoyu is very grateful, but I don't know that my ancestors..."

Jia Min interrupted him and said: "Baoyu, don't worry about this matter. Your uncle has already made arrangements. He also asked for part of the dowry from Feng Yatou through the door. He has some money and a house in the city. In front of it.

With a village of more than 100 acres, I wonder if Feng Yatou and her family will go to the city or stay in the village?"

Jia She hurriedly shouted: "Of course I want to enter the city."

Wang Xifeng curled her lips and said: "My aunt and her family are concerned about us. Feng'er is very grateful. However, we are sinners now. If we go to the city now, we will inevitably be looked down upon. It is better to stay in Zhuangzi and cultivate ourselves for a few years until things calm down."

It’s not too late to enter the city again.”

Jia Min nodded and said: "Since it is your dowry, I naturally have to respect your wishes." He then asked Jia Mu: "What does mother mean? Should you stay here or join your eldest brother's family?"

Jia Mu thought for a while and sighed: "Huan'er and his mother, as well as Zhu'er's mother-in-law, all live in the city. I'm not worried. This girl Jin Gui here is pregnant. Brother Zhen's wife

They are also orphans and widowed. If I don't stay here, there won't be any elders here. What a mess."

Jia Min understood: "In this case, the coffin that Your Majesty gave to my mother for old age will also stay here."

When Jia She heard the "coffin book", he immediately became jealous: "Old lady, I am your son, how can you not follow your grandson?"

Jia Min snorted coldly and said nothing. Jia Mu glanced at him coldly and said: "Boss, don't think I don't know what you are thinking about. Don't worry, the family is like this now, I won't let it go."

I have taken care of Baoyu but not you. Those things of mine, a hundred years from now, apart from the funeral ceremony, I will let Brother Shu, Brother Xuan and Baoyu share them equally."

When Jia She heard that, she was still a little unconvinced. Jia Mu said coldly: "Don't blame me for not giving it to you. Your title of first-class general is gone, and Lian'er has lost his official position. What's left in the mansion now?"

My only hope is Brother Shu and Baoyu, so naturally I am more partial to them. Otherwise, how can I have the dignity to go underground to meet the old Lord Guo in the future?"

When he heard that Jia's mother had moved all the old princes out, Jia She had no choice but to shut up in anger.

Jia Min also said: "Brother, if you still want to continue to waste your family, go and find your group of bad friends. They usually accept your favors. Isn't it a good time to repay them? Are you going?"

Of course Jia She didn't dare to go.

In the past, he only wanted others to flatter him because of his debauchery, but now if he passes by, he is afraid of being insulted to death.

So he shrank his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that everyone had reached a conclusion, Wang Xifeng took the lead in pulling Jia Cong and helping Mrs. Xing out, followed by Jia She and Jia Lian.

After they went out, Jia Min handed a box to Jia Mu: "This is what Feng Yatou kept for Baoyu and you."

Mother Jia stroked the box, with mixed feelings in her heart. After calming down, she called Baoyu and Xia Jingui to come forward and handed the box to them: "This is the escape route your second sister-in-law left for you earlier. Just accept it."

Live a good life, now that things have come to this, our family doesn’t ask for anything else, as long as everything is safe and sound.”

Baoyu and Xia Jingui opened the box in confusion. When they saw the contents inside, they were immediately surprised: "This... this is too..."

Jia Min said: "The things in here, including the house and property, were left by the old lady, but the money for the shop was obtained by Feng Yatou and the fourth girl from the second master Bao. They didn't have any flowers, so they have all been saved for you. There are also

Some of them were prepared by the second girl, in order to thank the second master Bao for taking care of her dowry that day." Then he handed them another baggage: "The things here are what Feng girl thinks is good, and they have not been converted into money and saved, so now they are all the same.

And give it to you.”

Baoyu and Xia Jingui were overwhelmed with emotions. Baoyu cried and said, "I am useless and have brought trouble to my ancestors and sisters to prepare a way out for me."

Xia Jingui comforted Baoyu and saluted Jia Min: "Thank you aunt and sisters for your kindness. We will definitely live up to it."

Jia Min sighed: "Baoyu, I am your aunt and I will not harm you. Let me give you a few words of advice. You were able to live happily in the past and hated the official career because your ancestors created a luxurious and wealthy life for you. If you think that you

If you are born like this, then you are totally wrong. Brother-in-law Lin is not a few years older than you, but he has become a first-class official now. If you think it is useless, then think about life in the Prison Temple."
