Usually the gate is not open, only the second gate is used by servants to enter and exit.
Today, the mansion is extremely noisy.
A group of maids and servants carried things into the mansion, but there was no joy of moving on their faces, only humiliation and anger.
In the yard, the maids and servants were all standing there, not knowing where to go.
There is no one in charge to make arrangements.
Everyone is waiting.
Wait until the eldest wife asks the emperor to come forward and force the Marquis of Dongxiang to return Chongguo Gongfu to them.
It's just that they all know that there is little hope.
The Marquis of Dongxiang was the one who dared to break the ribs of their Duke, not to mention threatening courtiers in front of the emperor.
The emperor can't live in Dongxiang Hou.
Inner courtyard, main hall.
The old lady of Chongguo Duke's Mansion was sitting on the Arhat couch, her face was so dark that she could drip ink.
"Is there no news yet?!" Her voice was full of hostility.
No one answered him.
Because no one knows.
When the eldest wife enters the palace, people from Chongguo's mansion can watch her.
It was also the imperial study room that she saw with her own eyes.
But they didn't know anything about what happened after they entered the Imperial Study Room.
They also knew that Eunuch Fu had gone to the Duke's Mansion with the imperial decree.
But they still don't know what is written in the imperial decree.
The feeling of wanting to know is like being poked at the heart with a feather. It is itchy, but it can't be scratched. It can drive people crazy.
Waited for another half a cup of tea.
Outside, the dark guard came in, clutching the wound on his shoulder.
Duke Chong stood up abruptly, his face darkened, "Why are you back?!"
"The subordinates are incompetent and cannot protect the old Duke," the dark guard knelt down and admitted his mistake.
The third master asked anxiously, "What about sister-in-law?"
The dark guard shook his head, "I don't know."
Mrs. Chong Guogong is more concerned about, "What is the emperor's will for Dongxiang Hou?"
The dark guard looked at Mrs. Chongguo and said, "The emperor asked Dongxianghou to build a wall in the Duke's mansion and divide the mansion into two. The old man's residence and ancestral hall belong to the mansion of the Duke."
Mrs. Chongguo's face turned ashen.
Is this called dividing into two? !
This is sending beggars away!
The third master's face was stiff, and he had already figured out that the wife of the Chongguo Duke's mansion entered the palace to beg the emperor.
The emperor looked embarrassed.
The eldest wife has no clothes, kneeling on the ground and unable to get up, asking the emperor for help on the grounds that the old Duke is lingering on the sick bed and cannot move out of Chongguogong's mansion.
The emperor had to take the old Duke's life seriously.
But he couldn't let Dongxiang Hou give up the Duke's Mansion that he had acquired.
It's a dilemma in the middle.
Finally, I came up with a solution that seems to have the best of both worlds, but is actually a humiliation.
"Even if my sister-in-law came forward and my father was a cover, I can only come back for a while, let alone the others," the third master said dejectedly.
Duke Chong clenched his fists tightly.
Mrs. Chongguo said angrily, "As long as you come back so little, it's better not to!"
The residence of the old Duke was preserved by the emperor for the Chongguo Mansion.
In the future, how can they have the nerve to visit the old man? !
It is already extremely unfilial to lose Chongguo Gongfu.
It is even more unfilial not to serve the old man.
Moreover, the secret guard who stayed in the Duke's mansion was injured and fled back, and both the Duke and the sister-in-law fell into the hands of the bandits.
"What about the Duke?" the third wife asked.
Duke Chongguo had a headache.
It's not okay to let it go, and it's even more impossible to bring someone back.
Dongxiang Hou was not good at resisting the decree and not obeying it, so he used this method to force him to take the Duke back to the mansion.
"The emperor's decree is enough to prove the importance of the Duke in the emperor's heart. Dongxiang Hou dare not do anything to the old Duke," said the third master.
"Then don't care about it?" said the third wife.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow when we go to court!" Duke Chongguo said in a gloomy voice
The next day.
Dongxiang Hou went to the court, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to speak when they saw him.
I was afraid that Dongxiang Hou would choke them to death if he opened his mouth.
Seeing Chong Guogong also dare not speak.
It was originally a good intention, but it turned out??Hacked Chongguogong, and stood on Chongguogong's side and became an accomplice of the Dongxiang Houfu.
The two sides are not pleasing, and the inside and outside are not human.
In the past, when going to court, everyone would whisper to each other for a while, but today it was unprecedentedly quiet.
Wait left and right until the emperor comes to court.
The emperor gave Dongxiang Hou a sideways glance, "You will arrive early one day."
Dongxianghou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to be late before. The mansion you rewarded me was too far away from the palace. The new Dongxianghou's mansion my son won is close to the palace. If you get up at the same time, you can arrive earlier."
Your majesty, ""
"By the way, I was forced to move out of Dongxiang Hou's Mansion yesterday and moved into the new mansion. Although the new mansion has everything, I always feel that something is missing."
""
This is the beginning of rewards?
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched.
?As a result, Dongxiang Hou changed the subject and said, "So I picked an auspicious day to make up a housewarming banquet. I got up in the morning and took the time to write an invitation card, and I also asked the emperor to do me a favor."
Dongxianghou took out the invitation and presented it to the emperor.
Your majesty, ""
Not only was he not late, but he still had time to write invitations.
The emperor regretted saying so much.
Compared with eating housewarming wine, the emperor would rather be rewarded by the Marquis of Dongxiang.
Eunuch Fu accepted the invitation with the corner of his mouth pulled, and presented it to the emperor for review.
Dongxiang Hou glanced at all the officials, and said, "The housewarming banquet was held before, and everyone was not familiar with it, so they didn't give me the face to go to my Dongxiang Hou's mansion for a glass of housewarming wine. There is no camaraderie."
Baiguan, ""
The threat of Chiguoguo.
Going to drink, there is a sense of fellowship, so I won't take you under the knife.
If you don't go, you just look down on him, Dongxiang Hou, and obviously have trouble with him.
This is blatantly forcing them to sprinkle salt on Duke Chong's wounds.
Those ministers didn't dare to look at Chong Guogong's face.
The coldness and anger emanating from Duke Chong's body were enough to make them tremble.
"Aren't you willing to show your face?" Dongxiang Hou asked.
Wherever his gaze went, the ministers trembled.
"Appreciate the face."
"It must be rewarding."
Just like that, he succumbed to his bandit power.
The veins popped up on Lord Chongguo's forehead.
Dongxianghou was very satisfied.
He looked at the emperor.
The emperor is very angry, is this what he said to accept the order temporarily?
If he doesn't accept the invitation, he won't build the wall, and he won't take Chonglaogong's life seriously?
Don't this bandit know what it means to accept as soon as you see it?
Now that his foundation is not stable, it would be too reckless to break his face with Duke Chong like this.
The emperor put down the invitation card and said, "This is the first time a subject has given me an invitation card, and I will reward you with this face."
Dongxiang Hou Xie'en.
After thanking you, he said, "Your Majesty, I have already complied with the imperial decree you gave me, and the wall has been built, but there is only a wall separating Dongxiang Hou's Mansion from Chongguo Gongfu. The government's hidden guards are staying next door, so I don't feel at ease."
Your majesty, ""
Baiguan, ""
He is a bandit and still has secrets?
It's too good to put gold on your face!
Could it be that someone is still going to steal his Qingyun Mountain robbery book? !
The emperor supported the forehead.
I don't want to talk to such a thick-skinned person.
Can't say enough about him.
"Old Duke Chong is sick, and no one is watching. If something happens to him, I can't bear it," Dongxiang Hou said in disbelief.
""
"Let the old man move away, and I'm sorry for the wall that was built overnight."
"!!!"
Excuse me for that wall? !
Can't he say that he dare not disobey the imperial decree? !
The emperor's face turned green with anger.
"I thought about it all night before I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds."
"What way?" The emperor gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, send some masters to protect Duke Chong."
