Chapter 218 The Reckless General Chu
When Xie Yuheng saw his father about to raise his leg again, he quickly ran out, fearing that if he ran too slowly, his father would beat him up again.
Duke Xie looked at Xie Yuheng's fleeing back, his face darkened and he turned and walked towards the harem.
The atmosphere in the hall was terrifyingly gloomy.
Pang Qingyun, Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng stood in the center of the hall.
After an unknown amount of time, the old emperor finally spoke slowly:
"Pang Aiqing, who are you going to sue?"
"This old minister wishes to sue Wu Yunhai, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. He has disregarded the Emperor's authority and ignored His Majesty's orders. He has relied on his position to treat human life as worthless and severely injured the deputy commander of the Jingzhong Camp, nearly causing his death.
I also ask Your Majesty to be discerning and uphold justice for the soldiers of the Beijing Camp."
After listening to Master Pang's speech again, everyone still felt dazed.
The first time that Grand Tutor Pang submitted a memorial to impeach the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness for committing a crime, they thought they had heard it wrong.
After all, Master Pang's impeachment was intended to seek justice for the soldiers of the Beijing Camp.
Everyone knows that Grand Tutor Pang and General Chu are sworn enemies.
The fact that Master Pang and General Chu rode in the same carriage was enough to surprise them.
What is going on now? Master Pang is helping General Chu to offend the Wu family.
Although the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were enemies, a head-on confrontation had never happened.
They fought each other to the death in secret, but appeared to be brothers in front of the emperor.
The old emperor's expression was extremely grim. "Are Minister Chu and Minister Xie also planning to sue Wu Yunhai, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty?"
"Your Majesty, I will not only sue Wu Yunhai, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, but I will also sue the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness for failing to discipline his son and allowing him to commit murder."
After Shen Zhao said this, the old emperor's expression became even uglier.
"How dare you! Do you know who the Marquis of Loyalty is?"
The old emperor was furious, and all the court officials immediately knelt down and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health."
"I know that the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness's surname is Wu, his given name is Wu Zheng, and he was the top martial arts scholar in the third year of Tianxuan."
Shen Zhao said without any fear.
The old emperor's voice became a little deeper.
"Then you know that the Marquis of Loyalty saved me three times, and the first time he risked his life to save me, he lost an arm.
The second time, the tendons in his left leg were cut to save me.
The third time he blocked the poison wine for me, he injured his lungs and had to take medicine all year round.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness has one son and two daughters. How do you want me to decide for you?"
Chen Zhao raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you break the law, you are guilty just like any commoner. Wu Yunhai, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty, killed an innocent person and disregarded the imperial authority. Shouldn't he be punished?"
Yes, the Marquis of Loyalty did save Your Majesty, but if Your Majesty protects Wu Yunhai out of this favor..."
"Chu Mu, you are so insolent!" The old emperor roared with great majesty, and all the court officials were frightened.
General Chu is not afraid of his life and dares to say anything. He is even qualified to question the emperor.
You can stop while you are ahead. The Wu family is not so easy to touch.
"I dare to ask the emperor to give justice to the soldiers of the Beijing camp and arrest the murderer Wu Yunhai." Chen Zhao continued to say words that seemed extremely treasonous to outsiders.
If the emperor really wanted to protect Wu Yunhai, he would not just mention the favor of Marquis Zhongyi for saving him.
"Okay, okay, okay Chu Mu, you are threatening me!
You are a good minister who can share my worries!
I know that you are wholeheartedly concerned about the soldiers in the Beijing Camp, and I also know that you have suffered great injustice.
But how do you want me to intervene in this matter? How do you want me to be worthy of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness?"
Xie Yuheng stiffened his neck and said, "This matter is not as difficult as His Majesty said.
Since it was the son of Marquis Zhongyi who made the mistake and His Majesty is in such a dilemma, why not summon Marquis Zhongyi to the court and let him know what the bastard in their family has done.
The Marquis of Loyalty is a loyal minister and a capable general, and he will surely not use past favors to embarrass His Majesty."
As soon as Xie Yuheng finished speaking, ministers from the prince's party immediately stood up to agree with him.
"Xie Xiaojiangjun, you are absolutely right. Your Majesty, please summon the Marquis of Loyalty to the court for an audience."
Just before the morning court session, the Grand Tutor told them that they should follow his instructions and lend him a hand.
How could they miss such a great opportunity to pull the Wu family down from their high pedestal?
What's more, the leader was Mr. Chu and the young master of the Xie family.
Zheng Shi and Du Qi'an also stood up and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please summon the Marquis of Loyalty to the court for an audience."
Zheng Shi stood up willingly, but Du Qian was reluctant.
The contract he signed with Mr. Chu clearly stated in black and white that he and Mr. Chu would stand on the same side in the court.
The Wu family is not that active.
"Well, well, well, you are all my good subjects!" The old emperor seemed furious. "As you say, I will issue an order to summon the Marquis of Loyalty to court."
The harem, Yuhua Palace.
"Your Majesty, thank the Duke for the audience."
The eyes of the beautiful woman who was holding a snow-white Persian cat suddenly brightened.
He quickly ordered the palace servants, "Quickly, quickly invite the Duke to the main hall."
She quickly put down the sleepy white cat.
The white cat meowed in dissatisfaction and lay lazily on the couch.
Concubine Hui walked quickly towards the main hall.
When he saw Duke Xie, his expression became even more excited.
"Brother Xie, you're here."
Duke Xie looked at the palace maids, and Concubine Hui immediately understood and ordered:
"You step back and stand guard outside the temple."
The palace servants obeyed the order and retreated quickly.
When only Duke Xie and Concubine Hui were left in the main hall.
Concubine Hui hurried forward, her eyes shining with surprise, like bright stars in the dark night.
"Brother, how is Heng'er these days? I wonder if you brought a recent portrait of Heng'er with you this time."
"Brother?" When Concubine Hui saw Duke Xie frowning, her heart skipped a beat.
Could something have gone wrong with Yuheng?
He hurriedly asked, "What happened to Brother Heng'er?"
"Yuheng is fine, it's the Wu family that's in trouble."
"The Wu family? Brother, there's been some movement at the border. Is Wu Hongzhong just impatient to rebel? Does His Majesty have any countermeasures?"
A while ago, His Majesty was still saying that now was not the time to take action because we had not yet found out where those people were hiding. If we do that now..."
Duke Xie immediately interrupted Concubine Hui, "It's not Wu Hongzhong, it's the Wu family in Kyoto. Your nephew Wu Yunhai... "
Duke Xie told Concubine Hui about the stupid thing Wu Yunhai had done yesterday.
Concubine Hui's face suddenly turned ashen, and she said angrily:
"What a bastard! He's trying to put my elder brother in an unjust position.
If Big Brother knew what this beast had done, how could he bear it? "
"Don't be angry yet. Yuheng hates Wu Yunhai and the Loyalty Marquis Mansion now. Maybe he even hates you."
When Concubine Hui heard this, her heart tightened.
"Brother, His Majesty and I only have Yuheng..."
"Your Majesty, be careful with your words. Beware of ears. I came here only to hope that Your Majesty can control the Wu family and not let others use them as pawns.
The Third Prince had been frequently visiting the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty in recent days, and had a deep relationship with the Marquis of Loyalty's eldest son, Wu Yunhai. Before the eldest son went to the land on the outskirts of the city, the Third Prince had just come out of the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty.
Your Majesty, it's time to summon the ladies of the Wu family into the palace for a heart-to-heart talk."
