Chapter 614 Return to Cezhou

After saying this, the emperor seemed to be a bit unkind if he didn't allow it, so he agreed to it with a wave of his hand.

Although the Yan family's title was taken back, the emperor immediately promoted Yan Shilang to the position of Minister of Personnel, ranking first among the six ministries.

Everyone present understood that Lord Yan was a good man who retreated to advance, using a title with little real power to exchange for a Minister Yan who was likely to become the next prime minister. Such a skill was really something that this old fox could think of.

From then on, Empress Yan and the Earl's Mansion, who depended on Prince Rong, would become a thing of the past, and the new emperor's confidant Yan Shangshu would rise. As long as he could go smoothly in the court, the Yan family would never fall!

After the court session, those ministers who had been close to Lord Yan gathered around.

"What are your plans for the future, my Lord?"

"I am not a Lord anymore. I am just an ordinary citizen and I am not worthy of your kindness. After my daughter is taken out of the palace, we will leave Sui'an City. As for the plan, we will take it one step at a time. When we are old, we will not participate in these things. Let the younger generations do it themselves."

After that, he left cleanly, leaving everyone in deep thought again.

"Do you think the Yan family knew something? That's why they cut off so cleanly?"

"It's hard to say. Didn't the daughter of the Li family marry into the Duke's Mansion? The Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion are inextricably linked. Who knows if Minister Yan heard something from the Yue family and acted like this!"

"Our new emperor is very low-key, and it's really hard to figure out what his next move will be?"

After a few casual chats, everyone dispersed.

But Lord Yan's "good words" were still listened to by many people, so many old ministers also knew that this was no longer their world, so they either asked to abdicate or gradually left the core power in the name of recuperation.

Those who left left, those who dispersed, those who changed, and those who were promoted were all those who the emperor wanted them to stay, and those who left were soon promoted, so there was no turmoil in the court, and it returned to peace, and even more prosperous than before.

In April of the first year of Changle, the court was already clear.

New dynasty, new look, after Minister Yan was promoted, Minister Xing was also promoted to the position of Minister. One of them was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the other was in charge of the Ministry of War. Although they were old ministers, they became the right and left limbs in front of the new emperor, which made many people feel deeply.

Everyone once thought that the Xing family and the Yan family would fight to the death over the succession, but they didn't expect that the final outcome of the two families would be so peaceful.

When the crabapple blossoms were in full bloom, Gu Shaoyu and his wife finally brought their family to Cezhou and settled in the general's mansion here.

Most of the items in the general's mansion were still there when the old marshal Gu was here, so when Ni Yang came here to clean up, he didn't move much, but just added some according to the habits of each family member, so it looked a bit out of place.

Du Jingyi took housekeeper He and Madam Dou to look around, shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Ni Yang with a bitter smile.

"It's difficult for Deputy General Ni."

"Madam, you are polite. I can still do this little thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu suddenly threw a disgusted look at him, and then ruthlessly exposed him.

"Madam, what you mean is that it's hard for you to clean up this place so ugly, can't you hear it?"

"Ah? Ugly?"

Ni Yang looked around and thought it was okay, why was it ugly?

Madam Dou stood up and said with a smile.

"Deputy General Ni is a talent for killing enemies in the front, so he can naturally handle this little thing in the backyard. However, our Madam and the old ladies and young ladies who came with us still need to clean up before we can stay."

Ni Yang sighed, then spread his hands helplessly and said.

"I don't have a wife at home, otherwise it would be better if she came to look after this matter. It would be a joke for my wife. If there are any inappropriate things, just tell me and I will have someone take them away."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant General Ni. We brought a lot of servants with us this time, which is more than enough to clean up the yard. If you have nothing to do, help build a martial arts training ground in the backyard. The boys at home have to practice boxing and kicking every day, and we are just laymen."

Du Jingyi's words were pleasant to hear, and Ni Yang thought the task was good, so he immediately accepted it and arranged the staff.

After he left, Gu Shaoyu looked at Du Jingyi apologetically and spoke.

"I should have sent Madam Dou and Butler He to come over first. Ni Yang is very capable in organizing the military camp, but I didn't expect that his house would become like this. It's really a joke for Madam."

"General, you didn't use Lieutenant General Ni in the right place. You see, the martial arts training ground must be better and more suitable than the one we have in Sui'an City!"

Gu Shaoyu smiled, and his whole person exuded a kind of ostentatious peace and quiet.

This is a side of him that he didn't show in Sui'an City or Jinling City. Du Jingyi felt it, and also knew that it was because Gu Shaoyu basically grew up in Cezhou throughout his youth.

Although he was heartbroken by the sacrifice of his family for the country, he also had memories of his youth that made him full of vigor and vitality. Therefore, Du Jingyi was happy. At the same time, he also hoped that the presence of himself and his family would allow Gu Shaoyu to have more warm memories of Cezhou.

Then, he looked around and said.

"General, take a rest for a while. I will take housekeeper He and Madam Dou to settle down the aunt and others first, and then go to see the places in the yard that need to be cleaned up again. And the place where the master lives cannot be sloppy. He followed us all the way to Cezhou. Don't let him be wronged."

Du Jingyi hadn't even sat down to drink a sip of water yet, and she was busy again. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't delay her, but stood up and said.

"Then I will take a few boys to the military camp. Those deputy generals have been waiting to deal with these boys for a long time. It's also good to meet them first!"

The couple had discussed entering the military camp a long time ago.

But I only went there once or twice, because there were so many troubles, so I couldn't find time to do it. Now it's all right.

The Hu Ben Army returned to Cezhou to continue guarding the border, and their family followed them. So it would be a waste not to practice such an opportunity, so Gu Shaoyu took the children out. (End of this chapter)
