"The common people thank God for His grace!"
He was deprived of his title. Although Yan Mei was very unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
"Back off!"
Emperor Yongping looked at Yan Mei's frustrated and unwilling expression, and the depression in his heart finally relaxed a little. Although there is still no solution to the rumors in the capital, for some reason, Emperor Yongping just feels more comfortable.
Yan Jing stood in the queue of civil servants and noticed the change in Emperor Yongping's eyes. Although the change in Emperor Yongping's eyes was not obvious, he was very familiar with Emperor Yongping and could naturally see what Emperor Yongping's eyes meant.
Emperor Yongping would not know, because his momentary joy completely strengthened Yan Jing's determination to resign.
However, Yan Jing also understood that it would be inappropriate for him to resign when his eldest brother had just been deposed.
This matter can only be postponed for a few days.
Maybe he had to let his eldest brother and his family leave the capital first.
The capital city is destined not to be a peaceful place.
Yan Mei was deprived of his title, and the head of the Imperial City Department was handed over to Prince Gong by Emperor Yongping.
Prince Gong Li Wei was the direct brother of Prince Yu Li Heng, who was in charge of the Zongren Mansion, and the uncle of Emperor Yongping.
Compared with Prince Yu, who is in charge of the Zongren Mansion, Li Wei, Prince Gong, actually has a very low sense of presence.
In fact, regardless of whether they are princes or princes of the Li family, except for one prince who is in charge of the clan mansion, the rest of them will basically not have the opportunity to take charge of any real power yamen.
This time, Emperor Yongping really had no one available, so he sent Prince Gong Li Hao to the Imperial City Department.
"Retreat!"
Prince Gong Li Wei was in charge of the Imperial City Department. Emperor Yongping did not set a specific time limit for when the rumor case would be solved. In Emperor Yongping's view, Prince Gong Li Wei was from the royal family and would definitely fulfill his responsibilities. After all, this rumor was ruining the reputation of their ancestors.
The civil and military officials dispersed, and during the process, everyone remained silent and quiet.
Of course, this kind of tranquility is only on the surface. In fact, everyone is not peaceful in their hearts.
Some people felt sorry for the deprivation of the title of Yan Mei, the Marquis of the Zhenjun, and some were gloating about the misfortune. After all, Yan Mei, the Marquis of the Zhenjun, had been conscientious and loyal to his duties during the years he had been in charge of the Imperial City Division.
"Scholar Yan, Your Majesty, please move!"
Yan Jing followed the crowd and walked out, but was stopped halfway by the chamberlain of Qiantian Palace.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way!"
Yan Jing smiled slightly and followed the servant of Qiantian Palace to see Emperor Yongping.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
After meeting Emperor Yongping, Yan Jing quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Emperor Yongping glanced at Yan Jing, sighed softly, and said, "Yuanshu, are you blaming me?"
"I don't dare!"
Yan Jing responded quickly, how could he blame Emperor Yongping? It was too late for him to thank Emperor Yongping. If Emperor Yongping hadn't taken away his eldest brother's title, even if he resigned and left, he would still have to worry about his eldest brother and his family who were still in the muddy waters of the capital.
Now that it's better, his eldest brother has been deprived of his title, and their family can take the opportunity to stay away from the muddy waters of the capital.
"I know, your eldest brother should not be implicated in this matter."
"It's just that there are a lot of rumors now. If we can't quell the rumors as soon as possible and find out the real culprit behind the scenes, I'm afraid this matter will end more badly. By then, someone will eventually have to take responsibility for this matter. I say this, you can understand No?"
"I understand. I would like to express my gratitude to the Lord for your grace on behalf of my brother."
Yan Jing quickly expressed his stance.
Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to expose Emperor Yongping. After all, everyone wants to save face, let alone Emperor Yongping who is the emperor.
"Yuanshu, tell me, who could be responsible for these rumors?"
"I thought this was the work of Jie Luck Dao!"
In his position, he will do his best.
Yan Jing has not resigned yet, so he naturally has to fulfill his duty as a courtier. Therefore, he simply expressed his views on the matter.
"Jie Luck Path?!"
Emperor Yongping was stunned on the spot.
He really didn't expect that the path of calamity was behind this matter. In his opinion, the path of calamity should have been completely destroyed. Even if there are still remnants of the Calamity Path, it is impossible for them to stage such a big battle.
"Why did Yuan Shu believe that this was the work of the Taoist Tribulation?"
Emperor Yongping was silent for a long time and then spoke slowly.
Yan Jing sighed and said: "Back to the Holy Spirit, I have no conclusive evidence to prove that all this was done by Jie Luck Dao, but in my opinion, there can be no one else except the Jie Luck Dao who can do this."
"Moreover, only the Jie Luck Dao has this ability!"
"Among the many rumors currently circulating in the capital, many involve the past cooperation between the royal family and the Jie Luck Dao."
"Yuan Shu, those are all slanders. You don't think the rumors are true, do you?"
Emperor Yongping directly interrupted Yan Jing's words.
Yan Jing fell silent for a moment, and then confessed to Emperor Yongping.
In fact, Yan Jing really believed that many of the things in the rumors were true. For example, Emperor Taizu killed the civilians who built the mausoleum. Yan Jing, who came from a noble family, once heard his grandfather talk about these things.
Then, Yan Jing also heard about everything that happened to Mr. Xu's mother.
The eldest daughter of the dignified Zhao family in the capital, married into the first noble family, but ended up with such a miserable ending. It would be crazy to say that there was no conspiracy to seize luck.
Before, Yan Jing didn't know who was involved, but now, with the emergence of rumors, Yan Jing guessed the truth after just asking a few old people.
The former eldest princess was frail and sick, and she went out to seek medical advice all year round.
But just after Mr. Xu’s mother had an accident, the eldest princess recovered. Is this a coincidence
Furthermore, the luck-taking in the path of calamity is tainted with cause and effect.
Why did the eldest princess marry Xu Shuo who was expelled from Xu Mansion? Obviously Xu Shuo is not as powerful as people say, but the eldest princess still married him without hesitation.
If it wasn't for the purpose of eliminating cause and effect, Xu Shuo wouldn't believe it even to death.
However, now that Emperor Yongping is saying that those are all rumors and false, Yan Jing will naturally not argue with him.
Emperor Yongping is the king, and whatever he says is what he says.
Yan Jing knows very well the principle of accompanying a king like a tiger.
…
Yan Jing came out of the palace and returned to the Zhenjun Marquis Mansion. When he saw his eldest brother, he said: "Brother, hurry up and let the sisters-in-law pack their things. Now that you have been deprived of your title, leave the capital as soon as possible!"
"Why?"
When Yan Mei heard what his brother said, his first reaction was to widen his eyes, shocked by Yan Jing's words.
They, the Yan family, were the founders of the country. How could they give up the title that their ancestors had worked hard for so casually
"Brother!"
Yan Jing's face darkened, "Do you think Prince Gong can lead the Imperial City Department to quell the rumors in the capital and find out who is behind the scenes?"
"No, no one can calm this matter down!"
Yan Mei is 100% sure that the rumors in the capital today cannot be quelled by human power in a short period of time. (End of chapter)
