Mother, I have returned to the throne.
Chapter 9 The wild goose plucking its feathers
"Why are there still no signs of movement from the Xu family father and son?"
In the afternoon, Song Yuan finally arrived at his new residence.
A group of men were busy decorating the new home.
Song Yuan squatted at the doorstep, counting on his fingers and looking forward to it.
He thought that if his downfall had happened in the past, he would probably have been a laughing stock.
However, if Left Admiral Xu Wang really knew about this, he might not be able to laugh.
That cheap old man gave me a house and people as gifts, and I'm afraid the whole city is in an uproar.
At this juncture, who dares to underestimate himself?
"Could it be that Xu Jie is timid and doesn't dare to speak out?"
It was almost dawn, but no one came to apologize.
Song Yuan frowned deeply.
"Ma Han, come and help me with something!"
In order to successfully get this money, Song Yuan had to use some tricks.
He leaned over and whispered in Ma Han's ear.
At the end, he didn't forget to remind her, "Got it? If you do, go get it done. Spending some money is not a big deal... Oh, you pay first, I'll give it to you later!"
……
Xu Mansion.
Half an hour later.
Left Admiral Xu Wang rushed into the room and untied his belt as soon as he crossed the threshold.
"Where's the bastard? You bastard, get out here!"
He had just been drinking with someone and had just started an exciting program when he heard people talking outside the door.
When he found out, his beard became crooked with anger.
It turned out to be related to my dog at home.
Now, the entire imperial city is in turmoil, and everyone says that Xu Jie deliberately took revenge and pushed the eldest prince off the throne!
What would happen if the emperor found out about this?
"You bastard, I'll beat you to death. Why didn't you inform me earlier about such a big thing?"
When he saw Xu Jie, Xu Wang immediately swung his belt, determined to help him regain the taste of his childhood and stage a love story of seven wolves.
Xu Jie was hit by a belt and was so aggrieved that he almost cried.
My dad is busy with social engagements and is out drinking and having fun every day. I really want to tell you something!
Can I find you?
"Dad, I'm innocent. I really didn't mean it!"
"Isn't it intentional? I believe this, but does Your Majesty believe it?"
"Stop whining here and come pack up and apologize!"
"Wait!" Xu Wang was furious and scolded his son like a grandson.
But along with the footsteps, a cold voice came.
Xu Wang, who was full of vigor and vitality just a second ago, shuddered all over and lost most of his energy.
Turning around, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"You're still talking about your son? You're quite capable as a father. You're not home every day. Don't think I don't know what you're doing outside. You're just a useless prince. If I offend him, then I'll offend him. If you continue to wrong Jie'er, I'll destroy you first!"
The one who spoke was the left admiral's wife.
This woman is fierce and aggressive, and is a relative of the powerful minister.
When the powerful minister approached Xu Wang and proposed a marriage, the Left Admiral was very happy.
Marrying this woman home means she has become the powerful minister's confidant.
Is there any reason to refuse?
Who admits it.
Later, when he found out that the powerful prime minister was from Shu, Xu Wang broke out in a cold sweat.
Later, he gritted his teeth and married her, and now he doesn't dare to take a concubine.
I hide every day, how dare I meet the tigress at home?
"I... I'm just scared. Madam, you don't know!" Xu Wang shrank his neck and explained with a stiff upper lip.
"Before, the eldest prince was inferior to his maidservants, but things are different now. At the morning court today, the emperor rewarded the eldest prince with a house in front of all the civil and military officials, and even personally inquired about his marriage!"
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is planning to support the eldest prince. If we mess up at this time and His Majesty finds out, wouldn't it be like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare a small gift and go to apologize!" When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was completely panicked and prepared the gift herself.
After a while, the Xu family father and son rode on tall horses and galloped all the way.
I was afraid that if I apologized too late, His Majesty would make me an example.
……
"Hahaha, Lord Xu, why are you here?"
Outside the eldest prince's new residence.
Song Yuan was looking forward to it with great anticipation, and the moment he saw the father and son of the Xu family, he almost burst into laughter.
The God of Wealth is here!
He stood up and went to meet him immediately.
Before the two of them could speak, Song Yuan had already taken the gift box from Xu Wang's hand with ease.
"Master Xu, you are so polite. What gift do you want to bring to see me?"
"Your Highness, I'm here to apologize!"
Xu Wang was stunned. Song Yuan was really too fast. During the holidays, the relatives at home probably couldn't catch up with him in receiving gifts.
After a few seconds, he finally reacted and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Your Highness, I was busy with work and just got home. I just heard that my son offended you."
"My son has been truly absurd. I have already severely punished him. I have prepared a small gift for you. I hope you will bear with me."
"Ah."
Song Yuan nodded, and all his attention was focused on this gift.
When I opened it, I couldn't help but frown.
The gift box contained a complete set of wine utensils made of mutton-fat jade. They were extremely exquisite, but they were far from what Song Yuan expected!
Such a set of gifts, if converted into money, would probably be worth no more than a thousand taels of silver.
Xu Wang is the Left Admiral, a high-ranking official, so how come he is so capable?
"Hey……"
When he raised his head, Song Yuan's expression became much more serious, and he secretly glanced at Wang Chao beside him.
The latter immediately understood and walked forward and respectfully took the horse reins from the Xu father and son.
Then, Song Yuan did not mention the matter of his fall from power, but turned around and took out a stack of invitations.
"Master Xu, I've just moved into a new house and was planning to personally deliver the invitation. Unfortunately, since you're here, I might as well give you the invitation."
No, we are talking about someone being brought down, how can we just dismiss the post?
Xu Wang had a headache, but Song Yuan didn't say anything, so he could only wait. In order to please Song Yuan, he gritted his teeth and accepted the invitation.
As soon as Xu Wang received the invitation, he realized something was wrong.
No, why is this thing so thick?
"Master Xu, it's just right. I've been living in seclusion in the palace for many years, and I don't know many ministers at court. I have fifty invitations here. I hope you can help me pass them on to my colleagues!"
Song Yuan explained with a smile, sneering in his heart.
After I accepted the post, you had to send it out to me no matter what. If I don’t show up when the time comes... Humph, let’s settle the score!
What the fuck is going on?
You sent the invitation, how come I have to pass it on?
Xu Wang groaned in his heart, then he realized that Song Yuan clearly knew that he was not popular and asked him to support him!
Fifty invitations represented that he had invited fifty people.
At least half of the civil and military officials in the court must be visited this time!
The most important thing is that Xu Wang's transfer was just a favor to him, while Song Yuan just sat back and reaped the benefits, while Chun Chun treated him as an innocent victim!
Before, could Xu Wang’s temper be tolerated?
But there was nothing he could do. He was now at a disadvantage. After glaring at Xu Jie, Xu Wang nodded with gritted teeth, even though he was unwilling.
"Your Highness, leave this matter to me. I promise to deliver the invitations to those adults. However, look at my son..."
"Ah? What happened, Brother Xu? I just remember that I used too much force and accidentally fell off the horse. Is it related to Brother Xu?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Song Yuan finally gave in.
When it comes to playing dumb, he's definitely a master!
"Hahaha, Your Highness is absolutely right. Yes, yes, Your Highness is right!" Xu Wang felt relieved and laughed.
Achieve your goal and say goodbye.
But it was only when I walked out of Song Yuan's house that I realized the smell.
"Jier...how did we get here?"
"Father, we came here on horseback!"
Riding...where's the horse?
……
forecourt.
Song Yuan watched the Xu father and son leave, then turned and went to the backyard. Looking at the horses that the Xu father and son had just sent, he nodded secretly.
"A set of jade artifacts, and you think you can shut me up? This Lord Xu is really incompetent. With these two fine horses, I can say that I have made a profit."
"Wang Chao, you know a lot about horses. Tell me, how much are these two horses worth?"
Wang Chao frowned, secretly cursing Song Yuan's wickedness in his heart, but told him the truth: "Your Highness, this is a top-quality military horse, only the top military officials can own it."
"A horse is worth a hundred gold coins, but there is no market for it!"
After hearing this, Song Yuan nodded secretly. One horse is worth a hundred gold coins... Two horses combined are enough to justify his worth!
Just at this moment, there was a faint knock on the door in the courtyard.
"Your Highness Your Highness..."
Noticing the voices of Xu and his son, Song Yuan pretended to pick his ears.
"What month is it? Why are there mosquitoes already?"
"Wang Chao, please guard the doors and windows. Remember, don't let mosquitoes in!"
