At this time, everyone in the court had different thoughts and ideas.
At this time, a chamberlain brought Luo Jiuli out.
"Luo Jiuli listens to the order."
The emperor spoke.
Luo Jiuli knelt down.
"Luo Jiuli and King Zhao reconciled. King Zhao returned Luo Jiuli's entire dowry and compensated him with one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"As for King Zhao's side concubine Yan Tinglian, she is carrying several lives and has been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. After a joint trial by the Three Law Departments confirms that the evidence is correct, she is waiting to be executed in the Autumn Judgment."
"The king of Zhao, Xiao Zhumo, was punished with fifty rods, a fine of two years' salary, and a ban from the palace of Prince Zhao."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor."
Luo Jiuli thank you.
The emperor stood up without saying a word.
"Disperse the dynasty."
The chamberlain sang loudly.
All the ministers knelt down and shouted long live.
Luo Jiuli raised his head and looked at Nine King Xiao Mingxuan, only to see him purse his lips, and his handsome and noble face was covered with a thick layer of frost. He stood up without saying a word, and there was no emotion in his body.
Just after the emperor left, the chamberlain walked to the nine kings.
"Ninth Prince, the Emperor has summoned you."
"Um."
The Nine Kings stood with their hands behind their backs, gave a faint hum, and followed the chamberlain to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor held a dossier in his hand.
Seeing the Nine Kings coming in, I handed him the file.
The Nine Kings looked down and saw that it recorded the situation before Luo Jiuli married into Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"Luo Jiuli was innocent when he married into Prince Zhao's Mansion."
"It seems that King Zhao did not even care about his own reputation and the reputation of the royal family for the sake of his concubine."
The Nine Kings put down the file calmly and said again.
"I heard that King Zhao's concubine once saved King Zhao's life on the battlefield?"
The emperor nodded.
"Well, it's because she saved King Zhao. In order to give her an identity, King Zhao also asked her to recognize the young minister of Taichang Temple as her adoptive father. On the wedding day, he also carried her into the palace."
"Brother Emperor, do you still remember who King Zhao fought against in that battle?"
The emperor suddenly raised his head, as if he smelled something.
"Sangnan Kingdom."
"What does Ninth Brother mean?"
The Nine Kings nodded.
"The men of Sangnan Kingdom are mostly addicted to poison, and the women are mostly addicted to charms. King Zhao suddenly went crazy just now, which seems unusual."
The emperor's face turned cold for a moment, and his eyebrows were sinister.
"Check, go check this matter yourself. If it is really what we suspected, then she is not the only one who has sneaked into the capital."
"Brother, don't worry, none of these people can escape."
The aura around the Nine Kings was cold and raging, like the god of death from hell.
——
In one day, Luo Jiuli went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to sue King Zhao, which caused uproar in the city.
In particular, the emperor personally ordered Luo Jiuli to reconcile with King Zhao, and King Zhao returned Luo Jiuli's entire dowry and compensated Luo Jiuli with one hundred thousand taels of silver, which became a topic of conversation among people in the capital after dinner.
Of course, some of these people will feel relieved.
He believed that King Zhao's behavior of pampering his concubines, destroying his wife, and poisoning his own children should be punished in this way.
But some people are also watching the jokes, the jokes of King Zhao, and the jokes of Luo Jiuli...
As for why the emperor did not hand over Yan Tinglian, King Zhao's side concubine, to Luo Jiuli, but instead sent her to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, where she would wait for Qiu Jue to execute her after a joint trial by the Three Law Divisions confirmed that the evidence was correct.
There are also speculations in the market, and the most common one is that the emperor made it for all the ministers in the court to see.
Among these ministers, there is no backyard where there are no singing songs and concubines, and there are groups of concubines. It would be as if each of them had imitated King Zhao, doting on his concubines and destroying his wife, without distinction between concubine and concubine.
Then the Changning Dynasty is in chaos, and the Dengwen drum outside the palace gate is being beaten every day.
This is also the emperor's indirect message to the ministers: Marry a virtuous wife, keep concubines and be sexually active, but don't be stupid because of sexual behavior.
At that time, they will be the ones who are embarrassed and the ones who will be severely punished.
The emperor's thoughts were secretly kept in mind by the ministers.
Thanks to Luo Jiuli's trouble, the status and attention of the principal wives in the entire capital skyrocketed.
Invisibly, Luo Jiuli became the object of gratitude to these wives.
As for Luo Jiuli, he was currently sitting on the bed in the Fuqu Courtyard of Duke Yi's Mansion, being served bird's nest porridge and listening to the maid talking about things outside.
At this time, it was already five days since I hit the boarding and heard the drum to complain about my injustice.
Since Luo Jiuli left the palace, he did not return to Prince Zhao's Mansion, but went directly back to Duke Guo's Mansion.
Fuquyuan was originally the place where the original owner lived when he was not married. Since his marriage, the place has been vacant.
The Duke's wife specially sent people to clean it every day, and never let a bit of dust fall here.
"On the same day, King Zhao was suppressed by the Imperial Army and sent directly to the Zongren Mansion to be punished?"
"yes."
The maid's name is Chun Rong. She is only fifteen years old. She is a daughter of Duke Yi Guo's family. Her mother is Aunt Xu who serves Duke Yi Guo's wife closely. Because Chun Rong's character is a bit naive, but she is full of heart when she serves.
He is loyal and has no evil intentions, so he was sent to Luo Jiuli.
"That damn man didn't even get fifty punishments to kill him. He's really unwilling to do so."
Luo Jiuli took a sip of bird's nest without any expression.
"After all, he is also a prince. Those who executed him knew well. If they did not dare to let him die, he would not die."
"Where's that Yan Tinglian?"
Chun Rong said:
"I heard he's in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
Luo Jiuli nodded and looked out the window. The sky was dark and he couldn't see his fingers.
Although she is safe now and has made peace with King Zhao.
