The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Xie Ji had not attended court for seven days.

The entire Prime Minister Xie's residence was filled with gloom and sorrow.

The eldest son, Xie Lang, was ordered to be executed by Emperor Rong'an for participating in cheating in the imperial examination.

Also because of Xie Ji's many years of achievements, it does not involve the entire Xie Xiangfu.

Xie Ji submitted a memorial stating that he was no longer ashamed to be the prime minister and requested to resign.

When it was first submitted, Emperor Rong'an rejected it and wrote in red: Not allowed.

On the seventh day after his eldest son's death, Xie Ji submitted another memorial, still requesting to resign from his official position.

Emperor Rong'an still rejected the request this time, but issued another decree, transferring him to the Imperial College as the chief academic officer.

Wen Taiyu, the former chief academician of the Imperial College, was demoted to the position of councilor.

Xie Ji endured the heartache of his eldest son's death and accepted the order from Emperor Rong'an.

When the visitor left, he looked up at the plaque of Prime Minister Xie's mansion.

Madam Xie wanted to spit at the eunuch, but Xie Ji grabbed her hand.

Xie Ji seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He said, "Take down the plaque."

Mrs. Xie had never seen Xie Ji so lacking in fighting spirit. She was immediately angry and hurt: "You..."

She couldn't say anything.

No matter how we investigate this matter, the root cause lies in the Xie family.

It was her eldest son who was stupid enough to kill himself!

Mrs. Xie closed her eyes in despair, "Xie Ji, call Yi'er back."

Xie Ji acted as if he didn't hear anything and turned around to walk into Xie Mansion.

Mrs. Xie didn't say anything else and followed silently.

As she walked, Mrs. Xie stopped.

Just because Xie Ji walked to the eldest son's yard unconsciously.

Now, the yard is empty.

The eldest son was executed by His Majesty. The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhong, felt guilty towards the Xie family, so she committed suicide with a white silk thread on the day of her eldest son's death.

He only had a three-year-old son left, and he was still exiled.

No matter how cruel Mrs. Xie's heart was, it was completely broken at this moment.

What sin had she committed?

There would be such an eldest son who is seeking his own death and cannot see the situation clearly!

"Lang'er..."

Xie Ji took two steps, called out his eldest son's name, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Thank you Ji!"

Mrs. Xie's face changed drastically, and she quickly stepped forward to support him: "Xie Ji!"

Xie Ji slowly turned his head and looked at Madam Xie, his eyes seemed to have lost the fighting spirit.

Mrs. Xie felt numb at the sight: "Husband, husband!"

Xie Ji was brought back to his senses by Madam Xie's shout. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Call Yi'er back."

Mrs. Xie nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay."

Xie Ji slowly broke free from Madam Xie's hand and said, "I won't admit defeat."

"Will not……"

Mrs. Xie watched Xie Ji stagger away, her fear growing stronger and stronger.

Prince Wei's Mansion.

The King of Wei was so angry at this moment.

"Uncle, how could you do such a stupid thing!"

He simply couldn't believe that his wise and intelligent uncle, the prime minister, would do such a thing!

Imperial examination fraud!

It's a capital crime!

Half a month had passed since the incident, but the King of Wei was still unhappy.

Wen Yanzhen raised her hand to hold him down, and said calmly: "My Lord, please send someone to bring back my eldest cousin's only son."

This dynasty has a rule of redeeming the crime of exile with silver.

Those who were implicated, like Xie Lang's son, were exiled a thousand miles away.

If anyone is willing to pay silver to redeem the child, he can be freed from hard labor.

He was only exempted from hard labor, and his household registration documents remained in the place of exile. He was not allowed to take the imperial examinations, nor was he allowed to leave the place of exile without permission.

Wen Yanzhen has complicated feelings towards Xie Ji.

She knew that everything Xie Ji did was for the King of Wei.

But after all, when people have power, their desires will increase.

She vaguely knew that Xie Ji had done some not-so-clean things.

In fact, Wen Yanzhen has always hoped that King Wei could cut ties with Xie Ji.

But now, it is difficult to cut.

Now the King of Wei is no longer valued by Your Majesty, and Xie Ji was punished for the imperial examination and lost a son.

Wen Yan really wanted King Wei to bring back the child that the Xie family had exiled, also to arouse Xie Ji's fighting spirit.

What does it matter if a son dies?

If the King of Wei becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne as emperor in the future, who will remember the mistakes made by the Xie family in the past?

The King of Wei looked at Wen Yanzhen, then at her belly: "The princess said so, and I have already sent someone to follow her."

King Wei is not stupid. He must protect Xie Lang's son.

Otherwise, his uncle would feel alienated from him.

Wen Yanzhen smiled at the King of Wei and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much."

The King of Wei sighed, "How can I not be worried? I don't have many people I can use now."

Wen Yanzhen smiled and said, "You should take some time to visit my grandfather."

When King Wei was reminded by Wen Yanzhen, he seemed to have thought of something.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he finally smiled at Wen Yanzhen.

"Zhenzhen, thank you for your reminder."

Although his uncle failed, Master Wen's reputation was much better than Xie Ji's.

If he starts with Old Master Wen, he will definitely be able to find someone he can use.

Wen Yanzhen looked at the happy expression of King Wei and slightly suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth.

I hope my grandfather still has some people he can use, and it would be best if Xie Ji could replace him.

Not to mention the restarted Spring Examination, since Xie Ji had stepped down from the position of prime minister, someone had to take his place.

Wen Yanzhen's eyes were slightly fierce, but it seemed to be just a flash in the pan.

"Now the position of Prime Minister is vacant, I just hope it can be replaced by someone who can be used."

King Wei was thinking the same thing as Wen Yanzhen.

Yu Rukui was suspended from his post for three months, but he happily went home.

When Yu Rukui had nothing to do, he would always go to the Duke of England's mansion to ask Mr. Jiang Er to go fishing in the Duke of England's mansion's garden.

The Jiang sisters and Yu Yingshui were on the upper floor of Yinfengxuan, watching the two people sitting quietly.

Jiang Zhiyue blinked and asked first: "Who will win, the eldest uncle or the second uncle?"

Yu Yingshui said: "It's hard to say."

Jiang Wanbai nodded: "It's hard to say."

Jiang Zhiyue was puzzled: "How can you say that?"

"Uncle Yu has been here for seven consecutive days. Seven whole days. The fish in the lotus pond must have been well fed."

Jiang Zhiyue laughed. That’s true.

I haven't seen many fish yet, but the amount of bait has been increasing.

From a small jar, to a palm-sized bucket, and now to the size of a bucket.

Isn’t it what Fourth Sister said that all the fish in the lotus pond were fed?

However, although Yu Rukui and Jiang Erye seemed to be fishing quietly, they were actually muttering non-stop.

"I went from the fifth rank to the first rank in one step. Brother Shi, do you think there aren't enough people scolding me in the court recently?"

Master Jiang was shaking the fishing rod casually in his hand.

Seeing that all the fish on his side were shaken away by Mr. Jiang Er, Yu Rukui said with a stern face: "Then I am suitable?"

When Master Jiang saw the fish run away, he smiled happily and said, "That's right, brother Shi, you are the one who got implicated."

"Your Majesty certainly won't mind."

Yu Rukui stared at the surface of the lotus pond carefully, and suddenly realized: "Are you reluctant to part with the fish in your lotus pond?"

Mr. Jiang said confidently: "Of course! Is this the season for eating fish? Then you can catch my fish!"

Yu Rukui: ...You are so stingy.

You learned Ti Yu from him, right?
