    After the imperial edict was read out, the emperor saw that the officials had nothing to say, so he directly announced that he would go to court. When the emperor left with Eunuch An, the court instantly became excited.

    "It's the Yan family again! Last time they donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, and this time they donated 1 million shi of food. How much land does the Yan family have?"

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it true that the Yan family is corrupt?¡±

    "Stop saying this, have you forgotten the lessons learned from the past?"

    "Yes, the emperor must have thought of something that we can all think of. Since the emperor didn't say anything and instead awarded the Yan family a reward, it means that the Yan family's food comes from a very good source."

    The officials nodded and said nothing more.

    Duke Chengen and several officials walked behind. When there was no one around, one of the officials spoke: "This time, many officials were arrested due to the case of An Guogong, and many positions were vacant. I originally thought that the Ministry of Household Affairs would  The position of minister can be taken over by one of ours, I never thought that the emperor would show up like this."

    An official took the words and sneered: "Who can give me 1 million shi of food?"

    Duke Chengen walked in silence without saying a word. Seeing him like this, everyone did not dare to speak again.

    When he was approaching the gate of the palace, Duke Chengen turned back and glanced in the direction of Qianqing Palace, his eyes solemn.

    This time, whether it was the Yan family¡¯s food donation or the war situation in northern Xinjiang, the Jiang family did not receive any news in advance. When they found out, everything was a foregone conclusion.

    The emperor¡¯s methods are becoming more and more powerful, and at the same time, his control over the court is getting deeper and deeper. Otherwise, it is impossible that the Jiang family has not received any news!

    Without the constraints of the Eight Kings, the Jiang family should also calm down.

    For the Yan family into Beijing, the Han family and the Yang family who are the in -law relationship with the Yan family are naturally happy. However, the Jiang family of Chengen Gongfu and the Guo family of Dingguo Gongfu can't laugh.

    Originally, relying on Yan Zhigao's political achievements, he could be transferred to the capital after his term as governor of Ningmen Prefecture expired. However, the Jiang family and the Guo family used tricks to prevent Yan Zhigao from entering the capital.

    Unexpectedly, in just one year, the Yan family was personally summoned to Beijing by the emperor for donating medicinal materials and food. He was also the third-rank Minister of Household Affairs, which was a position of real power.

    Ningmen Mansion.

    The eunuch who announced the decree was the Yan family who arrived on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

    In addition to appointing Yan Zhigao as the Minister of Household Affairs and conferring Yan Yiyi, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, as the head of Shengping County, the eunuch who conveyed the order this time also brought along the decree to confer the title of third-grade imperial concubine to Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li.

    Except for Yan Zhigao, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan who knew that Daohua donated 1 million shi of food, everyone in the Yan family was stunned by this sudden happy event.

    After Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu led the eunuchs to drink tea in the front yard, the female family members became lively and chattering.

    Mrs. Wu still had a look of disbelief on her face: "Sister-in-law, has Daohua become the head of the county?"

    Mrs. Li nodded with a smile. When she knew that her daughter would donate 1 million stones of food, she felt heartbroken in private. Now that her daughter has become the county head, she is not heartbroken at all.

    She was full of worries about her daughter's marriage to Xiao Yeyang. She was worried that her daughter's status was too low, she would be looked down upon, and she would be bullied after marrying into Prince Ping's palace.

    Now it¡¯s better. My daughter has become the county head and has been granted a title. Even if there is still some gap between her and Yeyang, others can¡¯t make excuses for her status.

    Han Xinran also asked happily: "Mom, are we going to Beijing?" Although Zhongzhou is good, it is still too unfamiliar to her. It is not as good as the capital where she grew up, not to mention that there are her relatives and friends in the capital.  friend.

    Mrs. Li smiled and said "Yes": "After the master and the new prefect are handed over, we can set off for Beijing."

    ?¡­

    Peach Blossom Temple.

    After Daohua received the news, she immediately happily ordered Dongli and Caiju to pack their things: "Remember, everything else doesn't matter, but the medicinal materials and pharmaceutical equipment in the pharmacy must not be damaged."

    Gu Jian stared: "What are you doing? You took away the things in the pharmacy. What do you use for the teacher?"

    Daohua smiled matter-of-factly and said, "Master, of course you left with me."

    Gu Jian frowned: "I don't want to go to Beijing!"

    Daohua was silent for a moment. Although she had never asked what exactly happened to her mother-in-law and her master in the palace, she could make a rough guess and knew that the old man had some resistance to the capital.

    "Master, I didn't let you enter the capital. Didn't the emperor reward me with a villa before? It's just over Tangyu Mountain. You know Tangyu Mountain?"???  In the suburbs of Beijing, the environment is pleasant and there are hot springs, making it the most suitable place for the elderly to live.  "

    "I have planted a lot of medicinal materials in the villa. In the past two years, my two uncles brought me overseas seeds from the south and Sun Changze from the north. I have planted some of them there. You can help me when you go there.  Take care of it."

    Gu Jian was silent: "Then I can't leave. If I leave, my sister will be here alone."

    Daohua: "Master, do you think we will come back to visit my mother-in-law every year in the future and ask people in the village to clean her grave regularly?"

    Seeing that Gu Jian remained silent, Daohua could only use her trump card: "Fang Zheng, I won't leave you here alone. If you don't leave, then I'll stay here too."

    Seeing his apprentice's rogue appearance, Gu Jian was speechless: "The war in Northern Xinjiang has stopped. If you don't go to the capital, do you still want to see Yeyang?"

    Daohua blurted out: "How can Xiao Yeyang compare with Master? Of course I have to take care of Master first."

    Hearing this, Gu Jian couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

    Daohua saw that his attitude was showing signs of softening, and quickly sat next to him: "Master, just come with me. There are so many nobles in the capital, and my family background is not outstanding. What if others bully me when you are not here?"  ?No one stands up for me."

    Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice and said, "You are now the head of the county. No one will bully you if you take it easy."

    Daohua: "But there are many people who are more powerful than the county head. What about the county head, princess, prince, princess, etc. How can I compare to these people?"

    Gu Jian pondered for a moment: "Then I can write a letter to Xiao Wu and ask him to protect you?"

    Daohua quickly shook her head: "Master, let's forget it. Think about it, if I'm going to face off against the princess, then who will the emperor protect? It must be his own daughter. I'm not the one who will be wronged in the end."

    Gu Jian looked at his apprentice with difficulty: "You haven't even entered Beijing yet, and you are thinking of offending the princess?"

    Daohua helped Bu Yao on her bun: "I can't help it, your apprentice is so good, he makes people jealous wherever he goes."

    Hearing this, Gu Jian rolled his eyes angrily.

    Daohua shook his arm: "Master, you can't ignore me."

    Gu Jian was so worn down by her that he stood up and walked out of the yard without paying attention to her.

    Daohua quickly shouted to Gu Jian¡¯s back: ¡°Master, then I¡¯ll let Caiju Dongli pack up.¡±

    Although Gu Jian did not respond, Daohua still looked at Caiju and Dongli with a smile: "Pack your things."

    Caiju and Dongli smiled at each other and entered the pharmacy quickly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
