Emperor Dongling was overjoyed.
"Jiuer, you're here!"
I looked at the door but didn't see anyone. I went to the door and looked around in confusion but to no avail. When I turned around, I saw a man and a dog standing in the house with smiles on their faces.
"Naughty!" Emperor Dongling said, but he held the little guy in his arms with both hands.
"You came to the palace so early, where are your parents?"
"I came here with my grandfather and uncle. My father and mother will enter the palace later."
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I used it, my belly is full!" Nangong Jiu patted his belly.
"Grandfather, what were you talking about just now? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Emperor Dong Ling smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that some ministers have become complacent recently."
"What happened to them?"
Duke Wei explained, "Princess, this is a little embarrassing.
In the past month, for some unknown reason, a trend of comparison suddenly emerged among the ministers.
What they compare is not wealth or power, but the number of concubines in the family, and who has more beautiful concubines or who has more concubines.
This was originally a matter within the minister's harem, so the emperor was not in a position to speak directly. He had hinted at it several times, but to no avail.
This kind of unhealthy trend will inevitably affect the image of court officials in the hearts of the people, thus damaging the prestige of the court..."
Nangong Jiu showed disgust on his face.
"They are unfaithful to their wives, yet they still have the nerve to compete with concubines?
Since ancient times, which family with concubines has not been in turmoil? "
As he said this, he shook his little body playfully.
“Fortunately, my father only has my mother, and neither the General’s Mansion nor the Chu Mansion has a precedent of concubines.
Otherwise, fighting all day would be too tiring."
He patted his chest as he spoke.
"Grandfather, wait a minute, I'll scold them for you. I guarantee that those shameless old guys will be so angry that they'll want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it."
Emperor Dongling was pleased with Nangong Jiu's performance.
"You openly scold them, aren't you afraid that they will target you?"
"With their limited abilities, they have the will but not the guts. Even if they have the guts to target me, it doesn't matter, as long as they don't implicate the General's Mansion.
If they want to play, I'll play with them. Life is boring if it's monotonous. Adding some spice makes it more fun."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. This evil trend must be stopped."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Emperor Dongling carried Nangong Jiu to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and said, "Well, let's go meet them!"
"Yes, let's meet those shameless people!"
"Ha ha……"
Emperor Dongling held the little man in his arms, who hated evil and was full of hatred, and laughed from ear to ear.
Eunuch Wei smiled and called the young eunuch over. After giving him some instructions, he followed happily.
A group of three people and a dog entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The ministers who were whispering about Liu Hao and his entourage's return to the capital shut their mouths involuntarily when they saw Nangong Jiu in Emperor Dongling's arms.
Why is the princess attending court again?
When the princess goes to court, nothing good will happen.
Be careful today and don't get yourself into trouble.
Nangong Jiu opened his round eyes, looked at the ministers, and listened carefully to their thoughts.
Hey, are these guys so scared of me? Are they afraid that I'll expose their secrets?
You even know that I'm going to court, so it must be something bad.
Hehe...it seems like my brain has finally clicked.
It’s good to know how to be afraid. There must always be something to be afraid of, so that you won’t become lawless.
Emperor Dongling was delighted when he heard Nangong Jiu's thoughts.
Humph, I can't deal with you troublesome guys, but Jiuer can definitely deal with you.
“Ahem…”
Eunuch Wei cleared his throat and said, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"
Two ministers came out one after another to speak out.
After the two men finished speaking, the new Imperial Censor Zhang Xianren stood up.
"Your Majesty, I would like to report the Minister of Justice, Lord Jiang Zhengyi, for favoring his concubine over his wife, and for allowing his concubines to mistreat his wife's heirs, causing the wife's son to almost die on the street."
"Is this really true?"
"It's absolutely true. It happened yesterday at noon!"
Emperor Dongling and Nangong Jiu exchanged a glance, then asked with a gloomy face, "Minister Jiang, is this true?"
Jiang Zhengyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly stepped out of the group and knelt down: "Your Majesty, it is my fault for not disciplining you properly. I will definitely discipline you properly..."
Damn it, these troublesome things can make whatever trouble they want at home, and now even the emperor knows about it. How should we end this?
"snort"
A child's voice was particularly obvious in the quiet hall.
Nangong Jiu snorted coldly and glared at Jiang Zhengyi.
"He favors his concubine over his wife, and the concubine even nearly kills the wife's child. Tsk tsk... what a great family tradition!
It is said that governing a country and managing one's family are the keys to pacifying the world. However, Lord Jiang has even made a mess of his own family affairs, with neither a wife nor concubines.
Can you be fair when doing your job?"
Jiang Zhengyi was embarrassed to be scolded and questioned by a little kid.
"Princess, this is the imperial court. Even the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, let alone a little baby like you. What right do you have to accuse me here?"
Emperor Dong Ling's face darkened: "I gave you this power! Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, just keep them to yourself!
Go home and take care of your family affairs, then we can talk about the errand."
Nangong Jiu's little finger moved.
Jiang Zhengyi, who had been begging for mercy, suddenly raised his head again and said, "I refuse to accept this. How many of the ministers present here don't have concubines? How many of them have peaceful families?"
Jiang Zhengyi pointed at the ministers present one by one.
"Master Li recently took in three concubines. His wife must have gone back to her parents' home out of anger, right?
A few days ago, Lord Chen also took in two concubines. His wife objected and you beat her up, right?
