Chapter three hundred and fifteen, royal decree, pray for blessing
The person who spoke out against it was a young minister. He was in the prime of his life, and he couldn't stand a lord like Yu Ruiwen who didn't know etiquette and still bought old people. He usually occupied resources without benefiting the country. He was really the leader of the country.
moth.
He came out from the front steps, knelt down and began to play: "Your Majesty, I feel that Marquis Xuanping is at fault!"
Finally someone said something different. The emperor straightened his body and said softly: "Speak!"
"Your Majesty, I feel that Marquis Xuanping is too arrogant to be favored and bully the orphan of Marquis Zhengyuan. It is too much. Marquis Zhengyuan was a hero all his life. Now that his body is still cold, Marquis Xuanping dares to do such a treasonous and unethical thing. It is too much.
I hope the emperor will make the decision for the hero."
This is to stand in the position of Marquis Zhengyuan and bring everyone in the Marquis Zhengyuan Mansion under the name of Marquis Zhengyuan.
Several ministers who knew the inside story looked at this young minister who didn't know the truth, with a bit of contempt on their faces. He was another one who wanted to impress others.
Today's young people don't want to make progress, they just want to climb up. They want to show their face in front of the emperor, want the emperor to notice them, and they don't check whether what they say is reasonable?
"Your Majesty, I also have a memorial." An old minister couldn't help but speak.
"Accurate." The emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, said.
"Your Majesty, the second wife of the Zhengyuanhou Mansion cannot be counted as the orphans of the Zhengyuanhou Mansion. Not only cannot they be counted, but they should also be driven away from the Zhengyuanhou Mansion. The Ning family and the eldest daughter of the Zhengyuanhou Mansion who were involved in the accident this time are actually both
He is the second wife, and he dared to embezzle the funeral objects of the Marquis of Mo Zhengyuan and the county prince. This shows his ordinary character. How can he be such a dishonest, greedy and shameless person!"
This veteran minister detailed the evil deeds of the second wife of Marquis Zhengyuan, and it was obvious that he had really investigated: "When something happened to the wife of Marquis Zhengyuan and her daughter, first the daughter of the second wife of Marquis Zhengyuan got married on her behalf. It's ridiculous.
She is still a promiscuous daughter, and now Ning and her eldest daughter have embezzled funeral objects. There is irrefutable evidence. Your Majesty, please investigate."
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Another veteran minister came out and knelt down respectfully.
"Correct." The emperor's voice was as calm as ever.
"Two legitimate daughters in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion have had troubles one after another. I think it has something to do with the prince's selection of concubines, so I request the emperor to order a thorough investigation of the women who selected the concubines." The latter old minister raised questions from another aspect.
There are many women who choose concubines, and there are even more aristocratic families who choose concubines. This time they entered the palace, and all the unmarried daughters of officials above the fourth rank in the court entered the palace.
The interests involved here are bigger and more.
The decree for the harem has not yet been issued, and no one knows whether the daughter of the family has been selected. If she is selected for the Duan Palace, will she be suspected?
"Your Majesty, I think this is a matter between the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
"Your Majesty, I feel that Marquis Xuanping is not wrong."
"Your Majesty, the stench in the second room of Zhengyuanhou Mansion is extremely bad. We can no longer live in Zhengyuanhou Mansion."...
The ministers stood up one by one, all seeking justice for the dead Marquis Zhengyuan. It was related to their own interests. Several veteran ministers who were usually not very active also jumped out.
Rather than focusing on the matter of choosing a concubine in the palace, they prefer that this is a battle between the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, a dispute over one surname, and the interests of the same clan. Compared with the matter of selecting a concubine, they are too small and too big a dispute.
There are also much less noodles.
Yu Ruiwen has done many ridiculous things, and this is not the only one. Young people are ignorant and can do whatever they want.
Feng Yu sat in a wheelchair and watched the officials kicking the ball with a smile. It didn't matter who was at fault for this matter. The most important thing was that this matter could not involve the selection of concubines in the harem.
He was dressed in the formal attire of a prince, with a purple robe embroidered with a four-clawed dragon embroidered with gold thread, which reflected his originally somewhat lazy face, becoming a bit more solemn and noble, showing the royal bearing and grace, with a handsome face and a smile.
Wen Ya looked at the farce in front of her with great contentment.
Feng Lanxiu in front of him was motionless and looked dignified.
On the other side, the brave king Feng Yixiu was even more motionless.
"Okay." The emperor finally said after getting a headache from the noise.
Immediately calm down below and listen to the emperor's will.
"Marquis Xuanping made a big fuss in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. He really didn't know the etiquette. He will be fined half a year's salary." The emperor spoke softly, and all the courtiers lowered their heads to listen.
"Accept the punishment for me." Yu Ruiwen kowtowed respectfully and accepted the punishment.
"Ning's behavior was disrespectful and he used the funeral objects without permission, which was effectively prohibited. However, when Mrs. Zhengyuanhou was observing her filial piety, she took charge of the affairs of the Zhengyuanhou Mansion, helped Mrs. Zhengyuanhou take care of the housework, took care of the elderly, and asked her to become a monk.
Xiu, pray for the deceased." The emperor continued.
So, is this a case of handling it with care?
Many ministers looked at each other and saw that Marquis Zhengyuan was gone. The emperor still missed the old relationship of Marquis Zhengyuan so much that he even touched the people in the next room?
"Your Majesty, the post about Mrs. Ning who is vicious and framed my daughter for entering the palace is false." Yu Ruiwen refused to accept it, kowtowed to him, and shouted, "My daughter entered the palace, and things happened one after another, and it almost came to a close. In the end,
I can’t come back, your Majesty, please make the decision for me!”
As he spoke, he wiped away tears.
A grown man cried aggrievedly in front of the audience again.
"Your Majesty, the Ning family is vicious. Not only did they frame the daughter of Marquis Xuanping, but they also misappropriated the funeral objects. This is really vicious. His daughter worked together and her temperament is so ordinary. Please deal with it together, Your Majesty." Another veteran helped Yu Ruiwen speak.
"Your Majesty, the two daughters born to the Ning family are both unworthy. If their behavior is not severely punished, how can the border officers and soldiers feel safe at home with their parents, wives and children?" Another veteran said.
The Ning family was greedy for Yu Lanxuan's burial objects, so how could she do so under the influence of Yu Yin, the Marquis of Zhengyuan?
"Your Majesty, I feel that I deserve a severe punishment." Another minister came forward and knelt down to beg.
The emperor pressed his eyebrows with a headache. Last night, Yu Lanxue was very satisfied with his gentle words. He also agreed to Yu Lanxue's request at that time. Unexpectedly, Yu Ruiwen produced evidence in court and wanted to get the evidence from Dieyu Pavilion.
It is no longer possible to take action on the ledger. The emperor now just wants to reduce big things to small things and turn small things into small things.
But there was a lot of excitement down there.
On the one hand was the new favorite beauty, on the other hand were the excited ministers. The emperor was irritated and only felt a dull pain on his forehead.
"Alright, Ning is a vicious person. I blame her for purification and praying for blessings. I will leave the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion immediately. The daughter born to Ning will accompany me and leave the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." The emperor's face darkened and he said coldly.
As he said that, he stood up and walked inside.
"Quit the court!" the chamberlain shouted sharply.
At Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, Mrs. Yu stared at Ning with her eyes drooped, pointed at Ning with trembling fingers, and cursed: "Ning, you ruined Zhongyang's important event, you... why don't you act like this?"
Apologize to death?"
"Mom, this is not my fault..." Ning sat on the ground and cried loudly. The house was in a mess, and almost nothing was intact.
"Shut up, what are you talking about? It's not your fault. If you weren't greedy, how could you embezzle the funeral objects? You...your vision is so small that you can't see some good things?"
Mrs. Yu scolded sternly, who would have thought that two boxes of powder would put Ning in this situation.
Mrs. Yu could care less about the life and death of the Ning family, but her eldest granddaughter’s future was ruined. Mrs. Yu only wanted to encourage Yu Lanxue to promote the whole family and take down the title of Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. Now that something like this happened, what would happen?
Will not be angry.
Seeing Ning's crying look, she became even more disgusted: "Why don't you die? If you die, it won't implicate Xue'er, nor will it implicate your children. Ning, you can do it yourself
Why don't you take responsibility for your own affairs? What's wrong with Xue'er? How come you are the biological mother?"
Mrs. Yu became more and more angry as she scolded her. She picked up the crutch in her hand and hit Ning Shi several times without thinking, until she was panting.
Ning held her head and rolled to the ground, hiding and crying bitterly: "Mother, don't worry, mother, I will protect Xue'er, I will definitely protect Xue'er. Now, if Xue'er doesn't have me as her biological mother, I'm afraid
…I’m afraid that’s not feasible either.”
Yu Lanxue is not in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and has not appeared again since entering the palace.
This matter has to be dealt with by the Ning family. Both Mrs. Yu and the Ning family know that Yu Lanxue has entered the palace, but now they cannot make it public even if they enter the palace. The only external news is that Yu Lanxue went to Qingxiu with the Ning family.
We went together to pray for An and Yu Lanxuan.
Mrs. Yu stopped her cane and glared at Mrs. Ning hatefully. If she could, she really wanted to beat Mrs. Ning to death.
But not now...
There were urging voices outside. It was the people in the Yamen who were preparing to escort Ning and Yu Lanxue away. Time was running out.
"Ms. Ning, you go to the nunnery to do some cleansing. From now on, you can have peace of mind and spirit, and pray for An Shi and Lan Xuan wholeheartedly. You must never cause trouble again." Mrs. Yu Tai calmed down and said in a cold voice.
"My daughter-in-law understands, don't worry, my daughter-in-law understands." Ning fell to the ground crying.
Mrs. Yu snorted coldly and stood up slightly. The maids and mothers-in-law on both sides hurriedly helped her stand up.
There was a government official guarding the door. When he saw Mrs. Yu coming out, he bowed deeply to her.
Mrs. Yu smiled weakly and said: "It's troublesome for the officials. I don't feel sorry for Ning. It's a pity that my granddaughter is still sick... I hope the officials will take more care of her."
A woman next to Mrs. Yu came forward, took out several purses and distributed them to several government servants one by one.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Madam. The eldest girl in the house is also implicated. She will be put back if she can't, and I will do my best." The government officials got the benefit and assured her.
The most important thing in this matter is the Ning family. It is said that she is jointly and severally responsible for the eldest daughter of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Yu left, and Ning tidied up a little. She wore plain clothes, brought a small package, and followed the yamen servant into an ordinary oil-walled carriage. Another carriage helped a woman who was unable to walk.
Wearing a curtain hat and the same plain cloth clothes.
Yu Lanxue is a eldest girl who has not yet left the imperial court. This time, she was only punished to follow the Ning family to clean up. The government officials just took them to Ruoshui Temple outside the city as a routine matter. The errand to bring people to them was considered as an errand.
It's over.
The mother and daughter were holding each other's arms and crying in the carriage. When the officials saw that they had all boarded the carriage, they turned the carriage and headed out of the city.
Ruoshui Temple is the place of spiritual cultivation that the Yamen found for them...
