In the evening, it was drizzling.

Chu Tianxiu left the palace with an umbrella and sat in the carriage outside the palace waiting for Princess Danyang who was still waiting.

Inside the carriage.

He finally relaxed a little, and lay on his seat resting with a tired look.

His identity as a young man named Hunhou was "born" and he had no connection with any faction and could not be changed. Since he had no faction or faction, he could only fight alone.

All the people in the court were all opponents, whether it was the Confucian school or the noble family, none of them were their own people.

This time, the dynasty struggle made him wander between the two factions and gained a lot of benefits.

Forced the Confucian faction to sign two important agreements - Dong Xianliang owed a favor, and the first chief examiner of the future new system.

These two agreements will be of great use in the future.

There is also the "using paper instead of simplified paper" issued by the Prime Minister's Office, which brought him huge financial benefits.

It was just that the last time I was more tired than fighting.

I have come to this court a few times. After I go back, I have a good rest in Yuyuan, eat and drink to replenish my dead brain cells.

Zuer sat in the carriage and waited for a long time, watching Chu Tianxiu's tired face.

She quickly pinched his shoulders and forehead with a pair of tender gums, and asked worriedly: "Son-in-law, why are you so tired? Is there something big happening in the court?"

"My son-in-law offended Prime Minister Xie and made him lose his official position.

After going back this time, the second wife may have to look at me again.

Forget it... let's go in through the side door of the palace and don't run into the second wife."

Chu Tianxiu said helplessly.

He was not afraid of the second wife. If he started to quarrel, he would be embarrassed by his father-in-law, Lord Ping, who was caught in the middle.

During this court battle, the censor Kong Hanyou and Xie Huyong, the prime minister, fought hard for the "year-old system". They attacked and defended several times.

This was expected.

This time he took Li Li from the fire, just to help Kong Hanyou overturn the "Senior Regulation System" and had no hope of defeating Xie Hu Yong.

What surprised him the most was Emperor Xiang Yanran.

It is still the emperor who does not show off his mountains and does not show off his waters, but he is a real emperor who firmly grasps the situation of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Seizing the fleeting opportunity, he changed the prime minister Xie Hu Yong directly, allowing the Censor Kong Hanyou to become prime minister, greatly increasing the strength of the Confucian officials.

However, he transferred Deputy Prime Minister Wang Su, the new leader of the noble clan, to the position of the Censorate, and checked and balanced Kong Hanyou.

The emperor easily realized his intention to implement the new policy.

Everything in the court is under the control of Emperor Xiang Yanran.

This also proves how important it is to hug Emperor Xiang Yanran's thighs tightly.

As long as he, Xiaohunhou, stood on the side of Emperor Xiang Yanran, showed enough loyalty. Even if he was excluded by officials from both courts, there would be no big problem.

"Son-in-law..."

Joer widened his eyes in frightened and stuck out his tongue.

This matter is quite serious.

But the things in the court were too complicated, and her little head couldn't understand them.

The princess carriage quietly returned to Yuyuan, Pingwang Mansion through the side door.

The next few days.

Chu Tianxiu simply stayed in Yuyuan and stayed in the door, either accompanying Li Yu and Zuer and Di'er to eat, drink and play in Yuyuan, or writing the second half of "The Story of Stone".

Xiao Hunhou's life is fulfilling, as a son-in-law, who is a son-in-law.

The first half of the book "The Stone" was sold for two thousand copies on the first day. I hurriedly printed some more, and sold them as they were printed, almost sold out.

There are even many vendors from all over the country who bought "The Story of Stone" and sold them to counties and counties in Dachu. There are at least a few hundred copies sold a day.

As long as this situation lasts for several months and half a year, his status as a new generation of literary masters will be unbreakable.

This is called fame!

The "Da Chu Propaganda" has even more sales. In addition to the entire Jinling City, various counties and counties in Da Chu have also sought to buy it, so their influence will naturally become greater and greater.

...

Xie Mansion.

Lobby.

Xie Huyong sat high in the lobby with a solemn expression.

Hundreds of people from the Xie clan and scholars gathered together, looking at the retired heads, each of whom looked sad and angry.

This was the first time that Xie Huyong had held a gathering of the Xie family after he resigned from office.

Decide the future of the Xie family!

"Although I have retired from the position of prime minister, I still have a passion. In the past, my disciples and officials are all over the court and the country, and some people are willing to listen to their words. My remaining power is still there, and even the emperor still has a little bit of humanity. The Xie family will not fall down!"

Xie Huyong said in a deep voice.

After resigning from office and returning home, he also saw it.

Since you are in the wild, then cultivate your reputation in the wild! Famous masters, even if they are in the wild, can still affect the overall situation of the court.

When he was in the wild, he devoted more effort to the children of Xie and cultivated more scholars of Xie.

Over the years, the children of the Xie family have enjoyed all their blessings, and they are too lazy and degenerate.

"I have two major events announced!"

"The first thing is to decide that the next leader of the Xie family in Jinling will be the eldest son Xie Xu, and the next son Xie Anran will be the eldest grandson Xie Anran. The large amount of personal resources of my Xie family will be used on Xie Xu and Xie Anran."

Xie Xu is already the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office, and his qualifications are mediocre, so it is extremely difficult to get promoted. He can only follow the steps and slowly get through the qualifications.

The key point is that the eldest grandson Xie Anran, the second largest playboy in Jinling, is the princess of the princess's mansion, who is nostalgic for the joyfulness of the pleasure boats all day long.

"Thank you Anran!"

Xie Huyong looked at Xie Anran and said.

"Grandson is here!"

Xie Anran felt a stern and bowed.

"I used to be the prime minister in the court. The Xie family was at ease, no matter how romantic and happy you were in Jinling City.

Now that my grandfather has resigned, someone in the family needs to stand up and overcome this difficulty. You, the eldest grandson, have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Xie family and be ready to become an official!

In a few days, the emperor will enlist you as an official.

The magistrate of Danyang County has recently been ill and it is difficult to perform his duties... How do you serve as the magistrate of Danyang? You have served for one year and did a good job. You will become a magistrate in a year. You will strive to be ranked as the Nine Minister within five to ten years!"

Xie Hu Yongdao.

This is his last love for the old prime minister to ask the emperor to recruit Xie Anran as the county magistrate of Danyang.

"Departure County Magistrate" has a far higher profession than other officials who have been elected for a year. It has saved at least more than ten years of hard work at the bottom.

Danyang County is right next to the Jinling imperial capital and is close to it.

Moreover, as the eldest grandson of the Xie family and the eldest son-in-law, Xie Anran has a huge advantage, that is, Princess Xiang Ling can help him speak in front of the emperor.

This eldest grandson has a better chance of being promoted to the Nine Ministers than the eldest son.

As long as Xie Anran can be promoted to the Nine Ministers within ten years, the status of the Xie family can be stabilized.

Xie Anran hesitated for a moment, sighed slightly in his heart, and bowed: "Yes!... grandson does his best."

Whether it is the old prime minister Xie Huyong, or Princess Xiang Ling, who came forward, the emperor could directly recruit him as an official.

As a clan, he had no choice.

He can only serve as an official to maintain the stability of the Xie family.

"The second major event is that I plan to hold a newspaper.

Xie Anran, Xiaohunhou, Prince, Chen Wanbao and others organized the "Da Chu Dibao" together, and they should know the method of the Dibao.

My grandfather retired and was idle at home.

I had some of the money I had rewarded by the emperor, so I planned to publish a residence newspaper, which was called "Xie Family Palace News"!

My grandfather used his spare time to still stick to the position of our nobles and call on the scholars of the world! He specifically published news about the family and scholars."

Xie Huyong said seriously.

The mansion invented by Xiao Hunhou is indeed a good thing. Even if he retires to the wild, his voice can still be well known.

As for the cost, no need to consider.

This time he resigned from office and retired, and the emperor rewarded 100 kilograms of gold and 100 hectares of fertile land, which was a huge income every year.

There is no need to use the public account of the Xie family. This extra large amount of money alone is enough for him to hold an influential mansion.

“…”

Xie Anran was silent for a moment, "Yes!"

It is not easy to get a newspaper, and it requires enough manpower to collect information, paper and printing.

He was just good at collecting information, and he could only rely on Chen Wanbao and Xiaohunhou.

However, my grandfather Xie Huyong had a huge influence among the nobles of the family. He raised his arms and responded to many people, and specially sent a newspaper for the scholars.
