Chapter 949: Contentment



Ministers: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Long Yi nodded with a slight smile on his face.

Fu Ciyi saw this and complained to himself. They had already discussed this yesterday, with these ministers. Why were they asking again now? The emperor was truly hypocritical, and so were all his ministers.

He was complaining in his heart when Long Yi's gaze turned to him.

He said in a clear voice, "The Chief Minister of the Cabinet is my third son, Long Wenyu. During the reign of the previous emperor, he served as the Chief Minister as Fu Ciyi. However, due to his status as a prince, it is not appropriate for him to continue to serve as the Chief Minister. Therefore, today I declare the position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet vacant."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

Fu Ciyi knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so early.

I always feel that it will take a few more days.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xinghe looked at him with sympathy.

Fu Ciyi couldn't say anything, so he could only step forward and bow his hands in thanks: "Thank you, father."

Long Yi nodded, and then continued to discuss the national affairs that had not been resolved before the New Year.

After the morning court session ended, many people flocked to Cai Tingzhou.

Someone said: "Prime Minister Cai was originally the Prime Minister. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the position of Prime Minister will definitely not be vacant. Prime Minister Cai will be entrusted with an important task."

Everyone agreed.

Cai Tingzhou waved his hand: "No, no, I'm already busy enough as Prime Minister, the position of Chief Assistant should be left to someone with more free time."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced behind Fu Ciyi.

The meaning is that Fu Ciyi is now a free man.

I originally thought that Fu Ciyi was Long Wenyu, and he was the son of the new emperor after all. Even if the new emperor no longer favored this son, he would still give him some face.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after he officially ascended the throne, the new emperor removed his own son from the position of prime minister.

It can be seen that the new emperor is very pessimistic about Fu Ciyi.

Come to think of it, as long as the previous emperor was optimistic about it, the chances of the new emperor being optimistic about it would not be too high.

Thinking about it now, he was very glad that the late emperor removed him from the position of Prime Minister.

Now that the new emperor wants to use him, he is the most suitable candidate.

Many people were looking at Fu Ciyi's back, and quite a few were looking at Yan Xinghe's back as well.

As they walked, everyone was trying to guess what the new emperor meant.

Someone said, "Any prince who reaches adulthood can build a palace outside the palace. Who do you think owns the palace farthest from the palace?"

Someone responded: "As far as I know, there are five princes who have already reached the age of twenty. That must be one of the first five princes."

"Exactly. Guess what."

"Could it be this Third Prince?"

"Exactly. It's him."

"Shouldn't we be closer to the palace? To put it simply, the closer we are, the sooner we can get the news."

"You think he doesn't want to? His residence is far from the imperial palace. Doesn't that just prove one thing: our new emperor doesn't like him."

"Indeed, if you want to see him, you should restore his status as the crown prince when you know he is the former crown prince."

"His status as a crown prince hasn't even been restored, and now even the position of Prime Minister given by the late emperor has been revoked. I'm afraid this person is only a prince in name."

"Because of that, because of that."

"There are several reasons. First, his wife is from the Yan family, which is a major taboo for the Emperor. Haven't you noticed that Yan Xinghe is the only one from the Yan family who comes to court now?"

"Secondly, there was another reason for the fire in Prince Jin's Mansion. I can't say what it was."

Several people heard it and nodded repeatedly.

Someone whispered, "If he remembered that he was the son of the Prince of Jin, why didn't he recognize the Prince of Jin when he took the imperial examination? There must be some reason behind it."

"Extremely so, no matter what, this person will not be valued."

The new emperor ascended the throne, and most emperors now have sons.

It's time for these ministers to take sides.

Everything these people said was heard by Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe.

They have excellent physical skills and amazing hearing.

Sounds that ordinary people cannot hear are extremely clear to them.

Yan Xinghe whispered, "It seems no one is optimistic about you."

Fu Ciyi said, "Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Ningning should have gone back to her parents' home, but we have to move, so we can probably only go there in the evening."

New Year is originally the time for annual holidays.

The circumstances this year are special, so I have to go to court these few days, mainly because Long Yi wants to announce some important things.

But you don't have to be on duty.

After the morning court session, everyone went back home to rest.

Yan Xinghe: "It's okay, you can come in a few days."

"If your parents-in-law ask, just tell them that Ningning and I are fine and there's nothing to worry about."

"I know, I know." After a slight pause, Yan Xinghe asked, "Do you need any help with the move?"

"It's nothing." Fu Ciyi smiled. "If you really want to help, help me dig up the two orange trees in the Fu Mansion and send them to my prince's mansion."

Yan Xinghe sneered: "I'd better leave this matter to you."

What if something happened to the orange tree? How would he explain to his sister?

The two men left the palace and got on their carriages.

One returned to the Duke's Mansion, and the other returned to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

When Fu Ciyi returned to Mingzhu Garden in Prince Jin's Mansion, Yan Funing had already ordered people to pack his luggage.

"My husband is back so early, and there isn't much luggage. When are we going to our new home?"

The main reason is that when I moved from the Fu family to the Prince Jin's Mansion, I didn't plan to live there for a long time, but now it is convenient.

"Where are mother, Nan Yao and Bei Mo?"

"When you were attending court this morning, someone from the palace came and took everyone away, including their luggage."

"Okay." Fu Ciyi pulled her hand, "Then let's go to our new home now."

"Yeah!" Yan Funing smiled.

Seeing her smile happily, he asked, "Very happy?"

"Of course. I was about to buy a big house, but now I can live in it for free. Isn't that perfect?"

She found a lot of teeth.

However, if she finds a suitable house, she still plans to buy it.

“Being contented is the best way to happiness.”

A group of people left the Prince Jin's Mansion in a mighty procession.

--

The palace at this moment.

The news of the enthronement of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Dowager had reached the ears of the two Empress Dowagers.

In fact, the Empress Dowager already knew about it yesterday, but the Empress Dowager only found out about it today.

The Empress Dowager, who was originally the Empress Dowager, chuckled at this canonization and said to Eunuch Mo beside her, "Let's go and see her."

The Empress Dowager was in her own palace, checking here to see if anything was missing, when suddenly a shrill voice came over:

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

She was startled when she heard it.

"Why is the old woman here?" The Empress Dowager was furious. "Didn't they say her legs weren't working properly?"

The eunuch beside him came up and said: "Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is your sister. Logically, you should come out of the palace to greet her."

"I know."

The Empress Dowager shouted angrily and reluctantly left the palace.

"Why is my elder sister here?"

"I came to see if you need anything and whether you're used to living here." The Empress Dowager looked her up and down. "The main thing is that you haven't lived in the palace for over thirty years. I'm worried you won't be able to adapt."

"Habits, of course, are habits."

The Empress Dowager smiled and had no intention of inviting anyone to sit inside.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager shouted, "You are old, and you know your low position. How can you not show respect to me?"

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
