The position of the Ministry of Justice was not the least bit inferior to the Ministry of War of the household. Otherwise, the crown prince would not have placed his trusted aides in this position at all, and once the Ministry Feng left, countless people would stare at this position, either because they wanted to go up or because they wanted to insert their own people into the seat. However, the recommendation that was submitted had not been answered, and no one knew what the His Majesty was scheming.
Right now, there were about three factions in the imperial court. One was the powerful princes, the other was the royal family that was loyal to the His Majesty, and the third was the independent Qing Liu. In fact, the Imperial Party and Qing Liu, in the end, had the same meaning. They were both part of the people who had watched the situation from the driver's seat. Of course, there were some who were stubborn.
In fact, the current Great Chen should not have caused such a situation, because the son of the His Majesty was not well, and the crown prince had occupied the position of the direct leader, and had been in charge for many years. It was only a matter of time before he would ascend the throne, and nothing would happen if he waited patiently for his father to die.
As the crown prince grew older, more and more people found out that he might not be able to take on the responsibilities of the Great Chen, and so, the crown prince began to sound dissatisfied. He suspected that his father wanted to get rid of his position as crown prince, and so he tried to develop his power with all his might.
Furthermore, the positions of the Minister s had always belonged to the Department of Revenue, and the Department of Revenue's Minister s were all part of the royal family. Up until now, Minister Chen had been personally selected by Fang Yu and the rest of the officials were also from the His Majesty, and the Ministry of Justice and Rites Department were both under the jurisdiction of the crown prince. As for Lu Kun from the Ministry of War, he was considered to be part of the emperor's faction because of his relationship with the Elder Official Xie.
Now that the position of the was empty, the Crown Prince naturally wanted to get someone else in, no matter how bad he was, even if someone from the imperial party came in, it would be much better than letting them in. Who would have thought that the His Majesty would go against the rules and get a Gu Yun, who no one could have expected, to come in.
The crown prince and Gu Yun were like fire and water, the current crown prince felt that even the members of the imperial family were more pleasing to the eye than Gu Yun, wasn't His Majesty singing those words to embarrass him?
It was hard to not feel embarrassed, since this was a public announcement to the world, unless Gu Yun died immediately, otherwise, it would just be nailing him down to the ground.
Everyone thought that the young master of the Gu family was stupid. Even if he was not a cripple, how could a young master from a noble family be qualified to hold a position in the Minister?
Let alone other people who suspected, Xie Jingxi's heart was thumping, it was not because she doubted his ability, but Gu Yun's position as the head of the warehouse department was already more than half a life, a position like that of the Ministry of Justice and Minister, it was often related to the various powers, to what extent would it be in danger? Furthermore, it would all be according to the rules in the future, and it would take a lot of effort for him, would Gu Yun's body be able to handle it?
Luckily, even though His Majesty took over three days later, he knew that Gu Yun had not recovered from his injuries and had even specially allowed him to heal his injuries before taking over. It was just that after three days, he would be holding the title of Minister on his head.
Since the order was given, there had been a lot of people who came to deliver gifts from the Marquis Mansion, of course, most of them were only looking at the old Marquis's face, while fawning over Gu Yun, they also fawned over him at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. The one who took charge of the family was Gu Yun's wife anyway, so it was all the same, it was just busying Xie Jingxi at the same time.
"Fang Dai, if the Madam comes knocking again, tell her that I'm on patrol in the villa and that I'll come visit her another day."
Xie Jingxi supported her waist and sat down, sending Fang Dai to help her deal with the terrifying madams in front. No wonder they said that 3 women was a plaything, after getting bombarded by so many of them, Xie Jingxi's head was about to explode.
Gu Yun laughed from behind as he walked over to pinch her shoulders and said: "Won't you have sent Fang Dai out long ago? What did those other wives say to make you so upset?"
Xie Jingxi rolled her eyes, thinking of the person she was doing this for, "Anyway, it's just a matter of the three toads' four eyes, the Zhang Family is short for the Li Family, I originally wanted to come here to deliver a gift, so I thought it would be fine to say something nice, but who knows if they are done yet."
They had originally planned to pay a visit to the newly born s to pave the way for their husbands. However, after a few more words, more and more people arrived, and as time went by, more and more people gathered, it became like a tea party in the backyard.
It just so happened that Xie Jingxi was not very good at this. After talking for half a day, not only did she not get close, she got further and further away from them. Only after that, with the reason that Lady Zeng was not feeling well, did Xie Jingxi finally get rid of this wave of wives.
Gu Yun almost laughed himself out, "It's really hard on our Xi. Since it's been warm for the past few days, how about we go to the manor for a few days tomorrow?"
Xie Jingxi was in complete agreement, if she could leave today, she would not wait for tomorrow. Hence, she called Ming Yu over immediately and told her to clean up the place and prepare to stay for a few days at the manor in the outskirts of the capital.
When Gu Yun went back to the capital, most of his things stayed in this villa, so most of Gu Yun's things were kept in the villa. Furthermore, before Gu Yun's big wedding, he had specially built a new courtyard in order to stay with Xie Jingxi, but with no choice, it had been delayed until now, so it was able to meet its late mistress.
After Gu Yun stayed at home for a few days, his injuries were basically unharmed, and he brought Xie Jingxi to walk around the manor. The manor was so big that it was shocking, and if the two were to walk around, it would take at least half a day.
"Aren't you anxious to live alone in such a big manor? If I were you, I would definitely choose the one closest to the gate. It would take me a good half a day to walk to the back."
"Our courtyard really is inside." As Gu Yun held her hand and walked home, he felt especially safe. Now that he thought about it, life and death didn't really matter anymore.
Seeing her sunken face, Gu Yun laughed: "It can't be considered the innermost part, it should be this way. If you're tired, don't you still have me?
However, putting aside the problem of distance, this manor's environment was indeed pleasing to the eye. Xie Jingxi felt her heart expanding after walking for a while, unlike the other houses in the capital, which were surrounded, this manor looked more like a mountain village. All the trees and rocks were not built on purpose, and most of them were kept in their original state, similar to the manor in King Jin, but they were a little more delicate compared to the one in King Jin.
The new courtyard Gu Yun had built was basically in the middle of the manor, and there was a small protruding hill around it. On top of that, the yard looked like it had been refurbished and refurbished all over, just like a courtyard that had been built on top of the mountain. The surrounding mountains, water, springs, trees, and trees were all present, and there were even a piece of land that had been specially left for Xie Jingxi to grow flowers and grasses.
He never thought that Gu Yun would have such a carefree time, but the problem was that he didn't need to travel far or even travel across mountains and rivers, it was truly a headache. However, after Xie Jingxi went up and looked around, she did not want to come down anymore. This place was simply the ideal place to be, and it really suited her heart.
The moment Gu Yun led her into the courtyard, Xie Jingxi was completely speechless, because she saw the entire crabapple tree with one glance. The other one was actually the Western Palace which she brought into the Xie Palace back then, and only with great difficulty did she manage to support it. Because this crabapple was obviously shorter and thinner than the others, Xie Jingxi could see it with one glance.
"You, when did you move it over!"
Looking at her shocked little eyes, Gu Yun immediately felt at ease, "Oh, it's not that long, just around the time, if it's too cold I won't dare to move. If it's too late, you might as well follow me forever."
Xie Jingxi's tears fell once again. When Gu Yun saw this, he immediately panicked, "Why are you crying again, you think I'm not happy that I'm hiding it from you, right? I just want to give you a surprise.
Xie Jingxi hit him, "Gu Xuanchen, you are so angry! I'm not a three-year-old child who can't take it anymore, so can't you tell me earlier? Do you know how it feels to be so worried about something? Do you know how cruel you would be if something were to happen to you that you wouldn't even leave me a single word?! "
Xie Jingxi's fists kept hitting his body, almost as if they were hitting his heart. Gu Yun had never known that Xie Jingxi would still be in such a rage, it could be seen that she was feeling wronged. What he didn't know was that from the moment she married him, Xie Jingxi had always been prepared to become a widow in the future. She didn't want it to be one thing, but reality was another.
It was just that she never thought that there would be a day when Gu Yun would suddenly disappear like this. If he really couldn't hold on, then what was everything that mattered to her? Especially when he knew that he had always been hiding the fact that she was doing something dangerous from him, the anger in his heart flared up even more. Then what did she count as to him?
When Gu Yun saw her teary-eyed eyes that were filled with suspicion, he felt as if a part of her heart was about to collapse. His Xi was disappointed with him, what should he do?
