The eldest princess left the palace and was full of energy.

The Imperial City Secret was a good thing she had never dreamed of. The Imperial City Secret was not just monitoring the Imperial City, but its roots covered the entire Tang Dynasty.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, the Imperial City Department is a yamen under the Imperial City.

But in fact, this is not the case.

King Gong took over the imperial city lord, and there was no face-to-face handover or predecessor's advice. The imperial city lord, which King Gong took over, was originally a half-baked person.

In addition, King Gong was not wholeheartedly working on the Imperial City Department, so he would give another discount on the Imperial City Department.

The direct result is that this should have been the Emperor's Imperial City Department, which was basically abolished.

The eldest princess has been planning to be the emperor for a long time and has been secretly infiltrating various functional departments of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, taking over the Imperial City Department is definitely a great addition to the eldest princess.

Looking back at the palace, the eldest princess's face was full of smiles, because she was one step closer to entering the palace.

"Your Highness, the Duke of the Kingdom has entered the city!"

On the way to the Imperial City Office with his men, a female guard hurriedly came to report.

The Duke of the Kingdom, naturally, refers to the eldest princess's man, the Duke of Dingguo Xu Shuo.

After receiving the order of Emperor Yongping, Xu Shuo led a guard to the north to quell the savage rebellion. Not only did he make any achievements, he also lost his troops and generals, and several cities in the north were stolen by the savages.

When the old lady Xu was killed, Xu Shuo got the reason to return to Beijing to attend the funeral.

However, I don’t know how he was trying, but he returned to the capital so many geniuses.

"Don't care about him!"

The eldest princess thought for a moment and finally waved her hand casually.

She was not sincere in marrying Xu Shuo.

It is just to reduce the constraints of her by the law of cause and effect.

In fact, when she knew what Xu Shuo was, the eldest princess once regretted why she hadn't seen the true faces of Xu Shuo and Old Lady Xu earlier.

Otherwise, the eldest princess would rather be constrained by the cause and effect than be with Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo is truly a mud that cannot be supported by the wall.

Now that the old lady Xu is gone, Xu Shuo, who was removed from the Xu Mansion, is in an embarrassing situation.

The funniest thing is that he was going back to Beijing to attend the funeral, but after so many days of returning, I really don’t know what this person has in his head.

The eldest princess did not want to be distracted by irrelevant people and things. She had to concentrate on taking down the Imperial City Division, completely cut off her good nephew's eyes and ears, and then upright the palace and become the noble Lord of the Nine Five.

...

Xu Shuo is miserable.

He led his troops to the northern border to wipe out the savage tribe, but was ambushed by the savage tribe and defeated him. The troops he brought were completely damaged.

Everyone thinks that savages are savage and have no brains.

But only Xu Shuo, who had fought with the savage, knew that the savage was very cunning. The savage king's military strategy was by no means a height that an uncivilized person could reach.

When he received the news that Old Lady Xu was killed and died, he immediately chose to return to Beijing to attend the funeral.

One is to stay away from the battlefield, and the other is to take this opportunity to return to Xu's mansion.

Unfortunately, some people don't allow it.

Xu Shuo was stopped on his way back to Beijing.

He didn't know what these people were from.

These people just arrested him, locked him up, served him with delicious food and drink. They kept him for a long time before they let him go.

From beginning to end, Xu Shuo didn't know what these people were doing.

But he knew that he had missed the opportunity to return to the Xu Mansion. He even had to bear the infamy of being unfilial.

All of this should be what the person who caught him wanted.

He didn't know who was plotting against him, but he knew that this man had a grudge against him, and he might even have grudges against the Xu family and his mother, Old Lady Xu.

Unfortunately, Xu Shuo, who figured out all this, had already entered the capital.

These days when he was caught and locked up, he had delicious food and drinks, so he was naturally well-raised. Those people even let him bathe every day. When he was released, he prepared a clean and neat dress for him, a brand new one.

At that time, I didn’t understand what these people were trying to do, but by the time I figured it out, it was too late.

The people in the capital saw him in a good state of mind. No matter how he explained it, it had no meaning. After all, he was arrested and could still eat, drink, take a bath, and wear new clothes. Who would believe this?

Xu Shuo, who figured everything, truly realized what it means to be unfair and frustrated.

However, no matter how frustrated Xu Shuo felt, he had already returned to the capital and had to go to Xu's mansion to pay homage.

Without being exhausted, Xu Shuo could imagine what he would encounter when he entered the Xu Mansion in a good state, but he could not resist.

The person in the dark dug a big hole for him, and he had already fallen.

Xu Shuo could only endure the surprise and strange gaze of the people in the capital and rode his horse straight to Xu's mansion.

When Mr. Changle, Mr. Yong'an and Mr. An Tai heard that Xu Shuo came back to attend the funeral, they all came to the gate to greet him. In the thoughts of the three of them, Xu Shuo should be exhausted and looked tired.

But the fact is that Xu Shuo is in good spirits and does not look like he has gone through a long journey.

"What is the purpose of Duke Ding's coming?"

Seeing Xu Shuo's appearance, Changle Gong first attacked.

"Cousin, I'll bring incense sticks to my mother!"

Xu Shuo understood now, and he could only bear it when facing the attack of Mr. Changle.

"Duke Ding was joking. I don't have your son in my aunt's name!"

Although Mr. Changle and Mr. Yong'an complained about Mr. Xu who had always controlled the Xu family, they actually respect Mr. Xu very much. After all, this person's identity and prestige are all there. Moreover, the Xu family with Mr. Xu is much stronger than the Xu family without Mr. Xu.

Xu Shuo came to pay homage to Mrs. Xu like this, how could Mr. Changle not be angry?

As for how much of his anger was simply for Old Lady Xu, it's hard to say.

"If Duke Ding has nothing else to do, let's leave!"

Gong Changle made a decision directly instead of Gong Yong'an and Gong Antai next to him.

Without Mrs. Xu's mansion, Mr. Changle, Mr. Yong'an and Mr. An Tai, the Xu family must unite in order to continue to maintain the glory of the first noble family.

Otherwise, the three families could only separate and become nobles who were no different from other nobles.

"Cousin, is it really going to be like this?"

Xu Shuo looked up at Mr. Changle, "The reason why I returned to Beijing like this and why I came back so late was all because of someone's calculations."

"Whether the other party is targeting me alone or the Xu family, it may not be necessary!"

Xu Shuo can't fight, but he still has some brains.
