Lu Chenzhi spoke freely, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children... The Empress is the Empress of the Central Palace, the mother of the country, and the legitimate princesses born to the Empress should have the most noble status... Concubine Guo was only made a concubine when she was pregnant. Now, if the princess she gave birth to is also..."
Xiao Hanyi listened to the old man spitting, and even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little angry.
[Bah, it's fine if others say it's legitimate or illegitimate, but don't you know what's going on in your harem?]
[Who is living in that house in the bustling alley of Xicheng District, acting as a loving couple?]
[You shameless person, you keep a mistress and give your body to her, and you are still spewing shit here]
[Do you dare to tell everyone who this time's Jinshi Lu Yin is? ]
How did he get his Jinshi degree? Even the tyrant father personally presided over the exam, and he couldn't stop you from cheating. Humph, you're nothing!
[You've had famous teachers since you were young, and everything you eat, wear, and use is the best. Why don't you say that you're different from a legitimate or illegitimate child?]
......
Xiao Jiayun cursed profusely.
Humph, this Lu Chenzhi is also a concubine's son. He openly pleases his stepmother Wei, but secretly makes trouble for her, leaving her speechless. Although they live together now, acting like a loving mother and a filial son, privately, Wei's courtyard is almost separated from the Shangshu Mansion.
When Xiao Hanyi heard about cheating, he felt murderous intent in his heart, but then he laughed. This made things easy.
He looked at Xiao Jiayun in his arms with a gentle smile on his face, and Xiao Jiayun responded with a bubble of milk.
"I heard that you have a concubine who is your childhood sweetheart. Is that true?"
Xiao Hanyi asked with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
When these words were spoken, Minister Lu's whole body tensed up and he stood there in a daze. He had been keeping a mistress for so many years and had kept it hidden very well. How did the emperor find out?
The other ministers in the court hissed and looked at Minister Lu with a different look in their eyes.
Hidden deep down!
Minister Lu's mind was racing, "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
He planned to fight to the end.
Anyway, the emperor probably has no evidence, right?
Xiao Hanyi was in a very relaxed mood, as if he knew everything and was just watching you act quietly.
"I remember that among the Jinshi this time, there is one named Lu, Lu Yin. Lord Lu, you all have the surname Lu, so you are from the same family, right?" Xiao Hanyi continued to ask.
ah?
Could it be his son?
I said, when I saw Lu Yin for the first time, I felt like I had seen him before. It turns out that he is the son of Minister Lu!
It's amazing, they kept it a secret so tightly. I never thought that the serious Minister Lu would actually have a mistress?!
Sweat beads appeared on Minister Lu's forehead. No one knew about this for so many years. What happened?
He stole a glance at Xiao Hanyi. The emperor was truly powerful!
Xiao Jiayun hid in Xiao Hanyi's arms, spitting out milk bubbles and yelling twice.
Xiao Conghui looked at all the civil and military officials in the court and shook his head slightly. This was interesting. He looked at Xiao Hanyi and sighed. With such a treasure in hand, it would not be easy to become a tyrant.
The second prince was already overjoyed. He wanted to tell Minister Lu, "Stop pretending. My father has already seen through everything. The little guy in his arms is a god. You mortals should stop resisting."
Seeing Lu Chenzhi standing there in a daze, Xiao Hanyi raised his voice and asked, "Minister Lu?"
Trying to dodge this way? No way!
Lu Chenzhi came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not recognize you."
After hearing this, Xiao Hanyi laughed out of anger. This means you won’t cry until you see the coffin, right?
After the smile faded, some anger appeared on his face. Well, you dare to deceive the king?
Xiao Hanyi changed his position and hugged Xiao Jiayun. "As the Minister of Rites, you should know the crime of deceiving the emperor."
In just one sentence, Lu Chenzhi was completely defeated. The crime of deceiving the emperor deserves death without mercy!
If no one asked about his affairs, then nothing would happen. But if it were to be discovered that he had secretly kept a mistress without the knowledge of his elders, the Wei family would accuse him of disrespecting his mother. Apart from anything else, his position as a minister would be in jeopardy.
Seeing that Minister Lu was defeated, Prime Minister Wang spoke up, "Your Majesty, it is indeed against etiquette to confer the title of Princess Zhaoyang on the Fourth Princess..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiao Hanyi, "My dear, don't worry. Lu Qing's matter has not been explained clearly yet."
Want to get away with it?
He had intended to replace these Shangshu for a long time, and today when Lu Chenzhi bumped into him, he took this opportunity to remove him.
Lu Chenzhi originally thought that Xiao Hanyi would forget about him after Prime Minister Wang spoke, but who knew?
Alas, I didn’t check the almanac before going out today. If I had known earlier, I would have called sick. It’s too late to regret now.
Lu Chenzhi was determined to retreat in order to advance. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have failed in my personal ethics and I beg to resign from the position of Shangshu..."
"allow!"
hiss!
The hall suddenly fell silent. Did the emperor agree?
The emperor approved it!
Just for the fourth princess?
Is the emperor killing the chicken to scare the monkeys?
