After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

As for all of Bao Lei's achievements, Su Qingling only listened to the progress. She had great trust in this man's abilities!

She gave him enough trust. When she needed to be careful in everything, she felt more confident with someone like him leading Ye Kang and the others to move forward!

After resting in the mansion for two days, Su Qingling finally received a letter from the Xin'an Marquis Mansion... Xin'an Marquis Su Mingyuan and his wife Liu Yunjia and their entourage are back!

Su Qingling couldn't hold back his temper for a moment and really wanted to go back to see his parents immediately!

At this time, Su Mingyuan came back early in the morning and went to the palace to meet the emperor without stopping!

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Li Zong looked at Su Mingyuan, who had lost weight, and smiled as if in the spring breeze:

"My dear, please get up quickly. It's been a few years since we last met. Thank you for your hard work!"

Eunuch Ming was very perceptive. He ran forward, bent down, and helped Lord Su up, saying with a smile:

"Lord Su, you are finally back. Our Majesty heard that you were injured... He was really worried about you, fearing that something might happen to you. Now it's good that you are back. The Emperor can sleep peacefully!"

Su Mingyuan hurriedly bent down and kneeled down, saying that it was his fault that made the emperor worry!

Emperor Li Zong signaled to Eunuch Ming to bring a round wooden stool carved with cloud patterns and let Lord Su sit down!

This time, Lord Su was openly demoted to be a Tongzhi in Minjiang Prefecture, but in fact he was secretly in charge of the salt road!

Minjiang Prefecture is a salt-producing area. Salt is important to people's livelihood and profits are important. Money is a blinding asset, so collusion between officials and businessmen is prevalent and chaos is rampant!

Emperor Li Zong thought about it and decided that Su Mingyuan, the iron-headed one, was the most suitable candidate, so he took the opportunity in the court to demote him to Minjiang Mansion!

At the beginning, Su Mingyuan had guessed what the current master was thinking and wanted to go to Gua Ren alone. However, when he was almost there, he was caught up by his wife!

There was no choice but for the couple to go together.

During these three years, he experienced life and death several times and finally lived up to the emperor's grace. He found out all the relationships of Minjiang Mansion. As they involved too many people, he secretly sent the account books and evidence to Sijiu City!

Minjiang began to be shaken. Emperor Li Zong sent people with the sword from above and the Jinyiwei to wipe out the enemy completely.

From the prefect to the minor clerk in the salt field, some were killed, some were demoted, and some were exiled. For a time, Minjiang Prefecture was gloomy and gloomy, and groups of prisoners being confiscated and exiled could be seen every day!

After a month of hard work, Emperor Li Zong assigned officials to Minjiang Prefecture, and Su Mingyuan assisted the new prefect Dong Qing to familiarize himself with government affairs. After everything was sorted out, Su Mingyuan brought his beloved wife back to the capital to fulfill his mission!

Along the way, he encountered several assassination attempts, but he narrowly avoided the fatal blow!

At this time, after meeting Emperor Li Zong, Su Mingyuan was still frightened, because he had caused big trouble again!

"Your Majesty, I have a few important words to say..."

This means: Eunuch Ming needs to stay away!

Emperor Li Zong glanced at him, and Eunuch Ming smiled and said:

"Oh my, I remembered that the imperial kitchen has specially made iced plum soup today, so I'll ask someone to check if it's ready. It's perfect for cooling off!"

As he spoke, he stepped out and considerately closed the door!

He hurriedly ordered the young eunuch Xiao Dezi who was waiting on the side to go to the imperial kitchen to take a look, and waved the guards on both sides to move away. He then stood by, watching carefully, waiting cautiously!

Inside the room, Su Mingyuan pulled out a few letters from his sleeves, his face solemn:

"Your Majesty, please have a look!"

Li Zongdi took it. The envelope had been opened and judging from its color, it should be quite old!

He opened one letter and read it, then read another one, until he finished reading several letters. His face turned as black as the bottom of a pot!

"...My son...I wish I could go to see the King of Hell right now so that I can make room for him to kill his brother!"

After waiting for the emperor to calm down, Su Mingyuan said:

"Your Majesty, I was seriously injured this time. I feel that I am short of energy and blood, and I feel dizzy and have a headache. Can you give me a few days off?"

Emperor Li Zong also felt that his steed had not rested for a long time, so he did not want to continue to squeeze it too hard. He thought for a moment before saying:

"Mingyuan, you have performed a great deed this time. Your relative-in-law has been promoted to the position of prefect of Minjiang. This will put my mind at ease!"

"However, now that the six ministries have dismissed and investigated some people, some positions are vacant. You can sit on the chair of the Minister of Personnel!"

Su Mingyuan was startled and knelt down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, this... I have just returned to the capital, and I am so nervous. I am afraid this may not be appropriate!"

Emperor Li Zong snorted coldly, and a murderous aura of a superior emanated from him:

"I will give you three days to rest, and then you can take up your new position! As for that group of people... humph... they can only talk nonsense. Whoever dares to stick his neck out and be the first to do so, I don't mind kicking a few more of them out!"

It was an hour later when Su Mingyuan left!

And a young eunuch nearby quietly walked towards Chuxiu Palace!

This Chuxiu Palace is the residence of Concubine Xian Dong Muyan!

Ever since the second prince Xiao Zongning lost one eye in an accident, the emperor ordered him to be conferred the title of Prince Duan. He built a mansion outside the palace, the Prince Duan Mansion, and moved out of the palace with his princess!

As a mother, Concubine Xian was well aware of the intrigues within the palace. When she saw that her son had lost the qualifications for that position, she gradually retreated into the background!

At this time, in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, a woman who looked to be in her thirties and wearing a crimson-purple palace dress was sitting upright, while the young eunuch was kneeling on the ground:

"I didn't hear it clearly, I just know that the emperor mentioned the position... Later, it seemed that he asked Lord Su to take up a certain position, and said that anyone who opposed it would be kicked out!"

Concubine Xian Dong Muyan waved her hand to let everyone go, and then said to the female official Dong Xuan beside her:

"It seems that the matter of Minjiang this time was led by Marquis Su. Otherwise, why would the emperor want Marquis Su to jump several levels and be promoted to a high position... I wonder which position he will be arranged to sit in?"

Dong Xuan made tea while analyzing:

"Since it is a high position, it must be higher than the fourth rank that Lord Su originally held in Beijing. It must be the third rank!"

"…If one is likely to cause opposition from the ministers, then he must rise to the next level, that is, from the second rank or the third rank. If the Minister of War is demoted and this position is still vacant, then he should be the Minister of War!"

Concubine Xian nodded: "That should be it! I just don't know what they said?

Dong Xuan handed the teacup over with both hands. When the empress took it, she smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Madam! We can just sit back and watch the fight, and add fuel to the fire when we have the chance. Now, it's best not to involve our Chuxiu Palace!"

Dong Muyan snorted coldly:

"I don't care about others, but the one in Jingren Palace has harmed my son. How can I let her off easily? Let her son sit in that seat, and see if I agree or not!

As soon as this topic was brought up, Concubine Xian became furious and wished she could take a knife and cut Wei Rouyi, the mistress of Jingren Palace, into pieces with her own hands!

"She thought she had done it perfectly, but she didn't know there's a saying that goes, if no one knows about it, then you better not do it! She schemed to blind one of my son's eyes, so I'm going to kill her and her son!"

At this time in Jingren Palace, Concubine Hui Wei Rouyi was proudly dismissing the maid who brought the message. Her beautiful eyes were filled with gloom. She bit her lip and hummed:

"Inform the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a table of Huaiyang dishes and send them over. Someone... go and invite the Emperor. Tell him that your concubine Huifei specially prepared a table of Huaiyang dishes for him, including his favorite Eight Treasure Gourd Duck!"
