After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 240 Andu's family arrived in Qamdo

After the case of Minister Yan was concluded, the situation in the court changed greatly.

Qi Guangren was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel as Shangshu, and Qi Yushen's second brother-in-law Wang Yongqing was promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Qi Yushen was promoted to Minister of Revenue.

Yuwen Taishi's confidant, the Minister of Works, submitted his resignation on the grounds of "old age and frailty", and Qi Wushuang approved it.

After the Minister of Works resigned, he immediately left Chamdo with his entire family and went to Fengdu, the territory of the Yuwen family.

When the officials saw this scene, they couldn't help but speculate:

The Ministry of Works is also a lucrative position. Could it be that the Minister of Works is worried that Qi An’s troops will target him next?

This one is a good guess:

The amount of money embezzled by the Minister of Works was not small, and he was indeed worried that Ye Wuwei would target him.

He didn't want to end up in exile, so he decided to resign and avoid the disaster.

After the Minister of Works resigned, Qi Yushen's elder brother-in-law Zhou Wenbo was promoted to Vice Minister of Works.

Now, the power of the Zhuang and Yuwen factions in the court was greatly reduced, and the remaining officials were mainly from Andu and Qi.

Although the officials of the Qi family were not as obedient to Qi Wushuang as the officials of Andu, Qi Guangren, Qi Yushen and Chen Shusheng were all willing to serve Qi Wushuang.

At this point, the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War and Ministry of Justice among the Six Ministries were completely under the control of Qi Wushou.

With the help of the Censorate, the Qi'an Tribe and the Chamdo Imperial Guards, Qi Wushuang was finally able to secure his throne.

When the court officials saw this scene, they finally understood Ye Wuwei's intention of pointing his first sword at Minister Yan.

Just moving one person can change the entire chess game.

After Minister Yan and Minister of Works left the court, two seats in the cabinet became vacant. Qi Wushuang let Qi Yushen take one of them, and did not let the new Minister of Works or Minister of Justice Lu Zhaozhong take the other one. This not only made the court officials speculate again.

Everyone was mainly guessing why Qi Wushuang didn't let Lu Zhaozhong take over.

Lu Zhaozhong was originally the general of Andu. Logically, Qi Wushuang should have let him take over, but he didn't.

So is it because Lu Zhaozhong is the illegitimate son of Yuwen Taishi, and he took the second daughter of Yuwen Taishi's confidant Zhang Muliao as his concubine?

Even Lu Zhaozhong himself thought so.

The truth is actually very simple:

Just because Ye Wuwei said to Qi Wushuang, "Leave a seat for Chen Shusheng in the cabinet."

……

**

When the peach blossoms in Chamdo were in full bloom, Chen Shusheng brought the scholars back to Chamdo from Andu.

Also brought back was the "Peace Treaty" signed between the Qi Dynasty and the North.

Chen Shusheng and his companions were accompanied by the large and powerful Andu family group.

When hundreds of carriages loaded with people and goods, tens of thousands of servants and guards poured into Qamdo City, the old nobles of Qamdo City suddenly realized:

The situation in Chamdo will really change in the future.

Whether in the court or outside the court, there will definitely be a place for Andu officials and their families in the future.

As usual, Qi Wushuang held a banquet in Liangyi Hall to welcome Andu's family.

This time, not only officials were present, but also their wives and children.

In addition to Andu's family, Qi Wushuang specifically asked Qi Guangren, Qi Yushen, Chen Shusheng, Wang Yongqing, Zhou Wenbo, and Xiao Chen to bring their families to participate.

This is to allow the Andu family and the Qi family to integrate as soon as possible.

Ye Wuyi sat alone at a table, drinking and observing the people in the hall.

Because of the presence of female relatives and children, the atmosphere of the banquet became much more lively and lively, and there were children running around in the Liangyi Hall.

The men were quite casual, toasting each other, but the women gathered in their own little circles.

The Qi family's wives and children formed two circles: one circle consisted of the wives and children of Qi Guangren, Chen Shusheng, and Xiao Chen; the other circle consisted of Qi Yushen's newly married wife and his two younger sisters.

The officials' wives in Andu were different.

Everyone is centered around Qi Wushuang's cousin, Chu Yuhua, Nie Youren's wife.

Chu Yuhua is indeed good at socializing. Not only does she get along well with the officials' wives in Andu, she also remembers to bring Mu Yimei along.

As Chu Fuchi's future wife, Mu Yimei also participated.

Mu Yimei is not good at socializing, but with Chu Yuhua by her side, she can handle things well.

Nie Youren brought a glass of wine and sat down next to Ye Wuwei, "What are you looking at?"

Ye Wuwei clinked his glass with Nie Youren's:

"Everyone is avoiding me now, but you are not avoiding me at all."

"What am I afraid of?

My position as the commander of the Imperial Guards is not lucrative, and the Nie family's business is quite profitable, so there's no need to go out of our way to make money."

Ye Wuwei smiled: Nie Youren is quite insightful!

"My sister-in-law is very capable."

Nie Youren looked at Chu Yuhua:

“Among the girls of the Chu family, she is the oldest and has been taught by Old Madam Chu for the longest time. She is indeed capable.

If it weren't for her, our Nie family wouldn't be in such a good situation today."

"I've heard from His Majesty that Madam Chu is a virtuous person and a reassurance for the Chu family."

"I often hear the older generation praise her."

Ye Wuwei pointed at the gloomy woman sitting next to Lu Zhaozhong and asked, "Is that Madam Lu?"

"Well, she is the only daughter of the Andu Governor. When she was a girl, she was also a high-spirited person. Now..."

Having said that, Nie Youren shook his head.

"She must have truly loved Minister Lu and married him back then."

Taking a concubine was a legal act in the Qi Dynasty, and only those who truly loved a man would be unhappy because he took a concubine.

"That's natural.

There were many men pursuing her in Andu back then, and Lu Zhaozhong was considered an ordinary commoner. If she didn't really love him, why would she marry him?"

While the two were talking, Qi Wushuang looked at Ye Wuwei several times.

Wu Wei seemed a little unhappy. Could it be that he saw many children in the hall feeling sad?
