Wang Cheng said that his mother died early, and it was his sister who raised him from the age of one to six. After he was sold at the age of six, his life was miserable. When he was a child, the only person who treated him well was his sister, so he wanted to ask for a royal decree for his sister.
Master Chu San was also in the Golden Palace, and he reported to the emperor that Wang Cheng's sister was Chen Shiying's previous child bride.
The emperor already knew that Chen Shiying was raised by a child bride. When he heard that this child bride was actually Wang Cheng's sister, he thought it was a coincidence. He said that Chen Shiying was intelligent and wise, and was not surprised by honor or disgrace, and Wang Cheng was brave and courageous, and was strong-willed despite his disability. They were both pillars of the Dashun Dynasty. To be able to raise two such people, Wang must be a beautiful, intelligent, and tough woman...
The emperor not only approved Wang Cheng's request, but also granted the title of Yiren to Wang Cheng's sister Wang and wife Liu, and also granted the title of Yiren to Wang Cheng's mother He.
Officials above the fifth rank could apply for titles for their mothers and wives. Wang Cheng wanted to apply for a title for his sister, who was like a mother to him, because his mother had passed away. Unexpectedly, the emperor not only granted titles to his sister, but also to his mother.
Wang Cheng was so moved that he burst into tears and kept saying, "Your Majesty is so merciful."
The Shaanxi general Yang Qing, who had falsely claimed Wang Cheng's military achievements, was confiscated by the emperor and sentenced to death in the autumn. Several people who helped Yang Qing to falsely claim military achievements were also dismissed from their posts, some were exiled, and some were imprisoned.
These people were all capable men of the Second Prince's faction, all of them were high-ranking officials of the third rank or above, and two of them were members of Wang Guojiu's clan. Wang Guojiu was reprimanded by the Emperor for failing to supervise his clan members.
At the same time, the Third Prince's party also accused the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Qian, of colluding with the Guangdong Provincial Governor Huang to buy and sell official positions and frame loyal officials. Both Qian and Huang were the Second Prince's men.
The second prince and his party also accused Minister Yan of the Ministry of Works of corruption and abuse of power, and embezzled a total of up to 100,000 taels of silver for river management.
Shangshu Yan is both a minister and a clan elder, and is the backbone of the Third Prince's party. If he is brought down, the Third Prince will suffer a heavy loss.
The emperor was furious. Minister Yan, Minister Qian and other related personnel were suspended from their posts and sent to the Dali Temple. At the same time, he sent people to Guangdong to arrest Qian Xunfu...
The court is even more chaotic now.
Chu Lingxuan got his wish and became the deputy general of Dingzhou. Deputy General He was transferred to the Left Guard Camp in the suburbs of Beijing as the commander of the guards. Although they were both third-rank officials, his power and role were much smaller than those of the deputy general of Dingzhou.
Chu Lingxuan also said that he had found a way to transfer Wang Cheng to the Dingzhou General's Office to serve as a civilian, and the matter was being processed.
He is still busy now, so he will go to the countryside to visit them in a few days. Moreover, the imperial edict conferring the title of Emperor Wang and Emperor Liu will also come to the countryside soon...
These good news made Chen Ahfu very excited, not only for Wang Cheng, Wang Shi, and Liu Shi, but also for the Ninth Prince and the Chu family to achieve a staged victory. She did not care that it was already dark, and got up to go to Luyuan to tell Wang Shi and Wu Shi the good news about Wang Cheng.
Li Ma Ma advised, "Grandma, it's already 15:30, maybe the master and the mistress have gone to bed."
Chen Afu said, "Then wake them up."
Nanny Li had no choice but to let Xia Yue and Xiao Mo hold the sheep-horn lantern while Hong Fei supported her.
The stars were shining outside and the evening breeze was blowing, which calmed Chen Afu's excitement a little.
The path from Tangyuan to Luyuan was very smooth, and they hurried to Luyuan. Xiao Mo knocked on the door, and except for A Lu who was studying under the lamp, Chen Ming and others had already gone to bed.
Chen Ming and others knew that Chen Afu must have something important to tell them so late, so they all got dressed.
When Chen Afu told them that Wang Cheng had been rehabilitated and had been appointed a fifth-rank official, Liu and Wang cried with excitement. They were even more excited when they heard that Wang and Liu would be granted imperial titles at the same time.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "From now on, mother and aunt-in-law will both be imperial ladies."
Liu cried, "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Ever since I met Ah Fu and my sister, our family has lived a fairy-like life. Now, my head of the family has become an official, and I can even become an imperial minister! Oh my God..."
Wang was even more incredulous. She wiped her tears and said, "Chengzi is really bold. How could he make such a request in the Golden Palace? What if the emperor blames us?"
Ah Lu also entered the room and smiled at Wang, "Mom, I have been working hard to earn you a tiara and a robe, but I didn't expect that my uncle got it first."
The letter stirred up a ripple in Chen Ahfu's heart, but then it calmed down and he continued to live a peaceful life. Lu Garden became lively again, and Liu, Wang, and Chen Ming were secretly happy, eagerly looking forward to Wang Cheng's return.
The next day, Luyuan invited Tangyuan's master and Luo's family to dinner. Of course, they didn't tell the real reason for the dinner, they just said they were happy that their daughter was back and they were all happy together.
On the evening of June 19, after dinner, Chen Afu led the children to Fuyuan again. Dabao and Chu Lingzhi could not come to Fuyuan during the day because of classes, so they would come here to play after dinner every day before dark.
The two brothers were tired from playing in the afternoon and had gone to bed. If they hadn't come, Liaochen wouldn't have come either, but would have been chanting in the meditation room.
Suddenly, Miss Chu pointed to the western sky and said loudly, "Look, there are so many birds. It must be Jinbao who is back."
This time they were gone for more than twenty days and have only just returned.
There were nearly a hundred birds, and they first rained "feces" in the sky between Fuyuan and Luyuan.
Seeing their classic moves, Dabao and Miss Chu laughed and shouted, "It's really Jinbao who is back."
Then, the dog barking was heard again, and Zhuifeng's family and Wangcai also came back. Wangcai went directly to Luyuan, while Zhuifeng's family came to Fuyuan.
Chen Ahfu asked the maids to spread more brown rice on the ground for the birds to eat, and also asked people to prepare a large wooden basin for the domestic animals to bathe.
After Jin Yanzi, Qiqi, Huihui, and Zhuifeng's family washed up, they were surrounded by several children and started talking to each other.
At this time, Wang Xiaomei ran to Fuyuan and said loudly, "Brother Alu asked me to tell you that Wangcai brought back a wife. She looked dirty and ugly at first, but after she was washed, she was very beautiful." She also said in Dabao's ear, "She is prettier than Sasa, and she can smile, really." After that, she looked at Zhuifeng and Sasa timidly.
There is such a thing?
Chen Afu and the others were all shocked and rushed to Luyuan. Dabao and Luo Mingyuan were most familiar with Wangcai and ran over excitedly.
Chen Ming and a few others were talking to Wangcai and another dog.
When Chen Ming saw Chen Afu coming, he said to her, "Afu, look, what kind of dog is this? It's really handsome."
Chen Afu looked at the dog carefully and became happy. It should be a silver fox dog. Its fur was snow-white, its tail was curly, and its eyes were like round almonds, so beautiful. The most important thing was that its mouth was pointed, and when its tongue stuck out, it looked like it was smiling.
My God, there are such dogs in this era.
