Su Youning was very happy after receiving Shang Fang's sword.
With such a sword in hand, she will be able to move freely in Yaozhou in the future. The emperor's uncle has made his attitude clear, and he hopes that nothing like this will happen to the Lin family again in the future. She can also implement some of her own policies with confidence.
Yes. She sincerely wants to make Yaozhou better.
Su Yueling looked at her daughter's good mood, and said, "If you want to manage a state well, the people you bring will not be enough. And you can't always go against the local wealthy people."
These people have learned from the Lin family's mistakes and will definitely not dare to go against their daughter, but they can go on strike passively.
Su Youning was already smart, and she quickly understood the implication of her mother's words. She said thoughtfully: "Does mother think that I should recruit some people from the local area to be my team?"
Although she has taken over her mother's power, the White Lotus Sect is more of an intelligence agency and cannot be made public. However, she really can't believe it if the team is selected from the local area.
Su Yueling reached out and tapped her forehead, and said casually: "Mom has laid a foundation for you over the years. What do you think of those girls?"
Over the years, there have been women's schools all over Daxia, especially Su Yueling and Su Youning's fiefdoms. The students in the women's schools studied the Four Books and Five Classics like men, and learned the principles of governing the country. Even though some of these girls came from powerful families, they
Their family prefers to use political resources on the men in the family. If they want to show off their abilities, they can only rely on Su Youning. After all, women cannot be officials now.
Su Youning was a woman, so she could openly tell the emperor that she wanted to recruit some women to be her deputies.
Su Youning's eyes lit up, she was going to write a book now!
In sharp contrast to Su Youning's good mood was the former prefect of Yaozhou.
His face was ashen and he received the imperial edict in a weak voice.
He originally thought that he would stand alone so that no one would be offended. Who knew that the emperor would be so partial? It would be wrong for Su Youning not to stand, so he immediately took off his black gauze hat. Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and finally climbed to the position of prefect.
How could this not make him sad and regretful once he returned to the starting point?
He regretted that he did not stand firmly on Su Youning's side at the beginning. Who would have thought that Su Youning, the princess, actually had real power instead of being a mascot.
After he knew the fate of the Lin family, the uncomfortable mood of the Yaozhou magistrate eased a lot. Compared with the Lin family, he didn't seem so miserable. At least he was temporarily deposed, and he might rise again one day, but Lin
Yuzhi was different. The words "Never Recruited" completely cut off his future career path. Although Lin Yuzhi's sons were not deprived of their honors, their family had already been marked down by the emperor.
Unless there is someone amazingly talented, don't think about it.
The prefect of Yaozhou suddenly remembered something. The Lin family's eldest daughter-in-law had become a white servant, but the other families were different. Although some had been demoted, they still had official positions. I'm afraid that the other families would not be convinced and were dismissed.
Will Dafang take the blame? Especially this time, Dafang was also responsible for this disaster.
In the next period of time, the Lin family is probably going to be lively.
…
Just as the prefect of Yaozhou had predicted, as soon as the imperial edict came out, the spirit of the Lin family was gone, like a dark cloud.
The emperor clearly sided with Princess Qionghua. It can be said that the Lin family suffered a complete defeat this time and was afraid that they would be removed from the local elite.
The one who suffered the biggest blow was Old Mrs. Lin - she was finally released by Su Youning after ten days in the cell. It's funny to say that when Old Mrs. Lin was enjoying herself at home, her body and bones became uncomfortable at all times. In the prison,
She lived a simple life and faced the scene of her grandson dying in front of her. However, her body and bones were very healthy and she was not sick at all.
She clutched her chest and burst into tears. She had always been proud of her status as a first-class imperial concubine, but her imperial edict was snatched away by Guo and became a joke to the entire Yaozhou. If she had known that pampering Cong Yan too much would harm her.
In this way, she will teach him well whatever he says.
Without this imperial status and even the experience of being in jail, how could she suppress her daughter-in-law in the future?
In terms of misfortune, Lin Yuzhi was even more miserable than his mother. He climbed to this official position with great difficulty, and now it is all gone. These four words "Never Recruit" completely made his life hopeless.
Their big house is finished.
"Brother, our family has really been killed by you this time."
"We must separate our families!"
Mrs. Du, the eldest lady of the Lin family, looked at her brothers-in-law with an angry expression, "You are taking advantage of the situation!"
I also knew that their eldest family would suffer a lot if the family was divided at this time. Moreover, their eldest family had now become common people. After the separation, there would be no one else to protect them. No matter how much property they were given, they would be eaten alive by others.
Mrs. Du couldn't help but shudder when she thought of that scene. When the Lin family was prosperous in the past, as the clan's wife, she was very arrogant and offended many people.
We can’t separate our families, we can’t separate them at all!
Even if we want to separate the family, we have to wait until our son has passed the examination and entered an official career.
"Don't even think about dividing the family, I'm still alive." Old Mrs. Lin said sternly. If the family was separated, she would definitely have to live with her eldest son. How could she be willing to endure hardship? As long as the family was not separated, she would still be the old lady of the entire family.
, they did not dare to treat her harshly even on the surface.
Seeing the angry expressions of her other sons, Mrs. Lin hurriedly said: "Don't force me to write to Sister Jin."
Yes, she has a granddaughter who is a princess. Sister Jin is the most filial to her, and she is also on good terms with her eldest son.
She just needs to be patient for a few more years. After the prince ascends the throne, Sister Jin will definitely not let her continue to be wronged. I think back then, she insisted on taking Sister Jin over, wasn't it because the fortune teller said that Sister Jin's fortune was
Is it expensive? And her love for Sister Jin has not been in vain all these years. Sister Jin treats her with the most filial piety.
As soon as she moved out of Dou Yaojin, the people in the other rooms could only give up no matter how unwilling they were.
The people in the big room breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuzhi thought about sending a letter to Dou Yaojin, his niece, in the next two days, asking her to write a letter to suppress other families who were about to make a move.
He and Mrs. Lin both had the same idea, so they wrote a letter and sent it off that day.
Mrs. Lin was still murmuring in her heart: She had written to Yao Jin before, but why didn't Yao Jin reply to her?
Could it be that she was stopped by her son-in-law?
Her son-in-law just doesn't like the Lin family! Fortunately, under her silent brainwashing over the years, Sister Jin has a lot of opinions about Dou Nian, and the relationship between father and daughter is cold.
It's just that Mrs. Lin's thoughts are beautiful, but the reality will not change according to her will.
A few days later, the news that Dou Yaojin was deposed finally reached Yaozhou.
