Alas! This elder brother of Cui Yi is playing with a young prostitute!
Silence.
Silence.
Extremely silent.
The old emperor's rage paused, and his eyes were fixed on Cui Yi's face strangely.
A minister who was familiar with Cui Yi wanted to say something to help, but couldn't find the right words, so he could only choke on the spot. At the same time, he couldn't help thinking in his mind -
no wonder his wife refused their visit on the grounds of "being too sick" when they came to visit him, it turned out that you were not at home at that time!
The Minister of War looked at the stunned and shocked Minister of Revenue next to him and whispered: "I remember that after the sick leave, Cui Yishi came to court with a black eye, scratches on his right cheek, a cut at the corner of his mouth, and a large bruise on his right wrist?"
The Minister of Revenue glanced at him and was surprised.
This man has a really good memory. He can remember exactly where Cui Yi was injured half a month ago.
After being surprised, he joined the discussion in high spirits: "That's right, he also said that the bricks and tiles at home fell down and frightened the fox slave at home, scratching his face, and he was panicked and stepped on empty air, so he fell and got bruised and swollen."
The Minister of War: "I didn't expect it to be..."
The Minister of Revenue: "There is a Hedong lion at home."
The two looked at each other tacitly, laughed at the same time, and were very nervous.
Cui Yi, after being stabbed hard by Xu Yanmiao's inner voice, calmed down.
"Thirdly..."
He said firmly and resolutely, and was particularly calm, as if he had intended to say this before: "But the royal majesty is inviolable. I believe that the rest of the people can be spared the death penalty, but Liu Yi must be beheaded to warn the world!"
His attitude was righteous, his voice was steady and powerful, and his words were resounding.
Xu Yanmiao was amazed -
[This is the strength to become a fourth-rank official. The ability to change with the wind is amazing. ]
Facing the vague gazes and the occasional contempt from other historians, Cui Yi remained calm.
What is changing with the wind? Is there such a thing? As for being despised...
Cui Yi gritted his teeth secretly and sneered.
Wait, it will be your turn sooner or later!
"Your Majesty!"
Another official raised his neck like a snake, glanced at Cui Yi with disdain, and walked forward with a proud look, saying something meaningful: "There is nothing that I cannot tell others!"
Xu Yanmiao rubbed his cheeks. He didn't know why, but he always felt that this statement was strange and did not fit the previous scene.
How did Cui Yi suddenly change his attitude to "there is nothing that I cannot tell others"?
[I know! ]
Xu Yanmiao clapped his hands in his heart, and there was a little more understanding in his eyes, "I understand again."
[Just now, in a corner that I didn't notice, the old emperor must have hinted to Cui Yi that he had a handle in his hand, and Cui Yi surrendered! ]
[And this new official saw that Cui Yi was threatened, and he also stood up and hinted to the old emperor that I am not afraid of your threat!
Cui Yi: "..." The
process is right, but the target is wrong.
The old emperor: "..."
What does it have to do with me! You should bear your own crime! Don't accuse others casually! It has always been the ministers who took the blame for the emperor, and I have never seen the ministers let the emperor take the blame.
A string of words flashed through his mind, almost rolling into a bullet screen.
Yu Shi, who had just stepped forward, acted respectfully but spoke in a very firm tone: "I think that although the princess is noble, she should not rely on her father to bully her husband after she surrenders. As the saying goes, men are Qian and women are Kun, men are Yang and women are Yin, men are strong and women are soft, and the husband is superior and the wife is inferior, which is the secular etiquette."
"Don't you see, the beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty, Princess Fangling, had several male concubines and bullied her husband outside the bed. When the incident was exposed, the concubines were either killed or exiled, and the princess was also imprisoned."
“Have you seen, five hundred years ago in the Chu Dynasty, Emperor Zhongzong chose a son-in-law for Princess Danyang, and the son-in-law was the famous general Yu Che of the Great Chu. However, the princess did not like warriors and thought the son-in-law was stupid. After the marriage, she did not sleep with him for half a year. When Emperor Zhongzong heard about it, he thought that her words and deeds were not in line with women's etiquette and damaged the royal family's style, and she was not suitable to be someone else's wife, so he issued an edict to order the two to divorce and replace her with the gentle and virtuous Princess Nanping.”
“The mediocre emperor of the previous dynasty knew that Princess Xiao should also follow women's etiquette, strictly observe the virtues of a woman, be gentle, respectful, and behave in unison. Your Majesty, are you even worse than the foolish emperor, intervening in the quarrel between husband and wife and forcing the son-in-law to punish his crime of rebellion?”
As soon as the words fell, a voice full of exclamation was heard without hesitation——
[Wow! 】
The old emperor was about to stand up and give the historian a slap in the face, but when he heard the familiar voice, he paused slightly and sat back leisurely.
...
After this new historian came out, Xu Yanmiao poked the wronged person again-the clerk of the Ministry of War: "Who is this person again?"
The clerk of the Ministry of War wiped his tears: "Xu Lang, in view of my informing you, you must build a tomb for me in the future."
Xu Yanmiao said "Huh?" and was completely confused.
The clerk of the Ministry of War couldn't wait to come up and said with a smile: "This old man's surname is Wen, his name is Xingai, his brother is the prince's attendant, and his son even married the eighteenth daughter of your majesty."
Xu Yanmiao's head and shoulders moved slightly and nodded.
"So that's how it is."
With such details, it's easier to look up gossip in the system.
[Wow!]
Xu Yanmiao's eyes sparkled, pretending to still pay attention to the affairs of the court, but actually happily eating melons.
[No wonder this man insisted on emphasizing that the princess must follow the rule of the husband as the wife, it turns out that it's because Princess Xiangyang never gives him face.]
Princess Wanshou, who was originally criticized and depressed, looked at Xu Yanmiao blankly.
After returning from the Prince Consort's Villa yesterday, after her thinking and observation just now, she had already discovered that the sound that Xu Yanmiao made with his closed mouth was not ventriloquism, but his inner voice.
Now, this inner voice mentioned her eighteenth sister.
"Xiangyang..." Princess Wanshou thought of Empress Dou.
Princess Xiangyang is the youngest daughter of the Empress. She has been doted on by the Emperor and Empress since she was a child. Her four older brothers and two older sisters also treat her like a treasure. Naturally, their personalities are different from hers, and one of them is the most arrogant.
As soon as Xu Yanmiao mentioned Princess Xiangyang, Wen Yushi, who had been so majestic and unyielding just now, blushed. Those who didn't know would think that this place where the court was held was particularly short of oxygen.
He saw that all the civil and military officials raised their ears, and they were obviously more interested in his family's private affairs than whether Princess Wanshou's husband should be imprisoned.
So his face became even redder, and it was estimated that his blood pressure soared to 180.
The old emperor saw his expression, narrowed his eyes and sneered.
Don't you like to stare at the royal family's private affairs? Why don't you let others watch your family's private affairs?
*
Xu Yanmiao flipped through the system, his heart was free to read gossip.
【Let me see, let me see. As soon as the princess entered the palace, Wen Xingai asked her to bathe and change clothes on the second day after marriage like ordinary women, and to pay respects to her uncle and aunt in law to obtain the approval of the elders of her husband's family.】
【Then, Princess Xiangyang turned around and left to return to the princess's mansion, which scared the Wen family. They were afraid that the old emperor would know about this, so they begged Princess Xiangyang to get off the carriage. The uncle and aunt in law, in turn, performed the ceremony for Princess Xiangyang, and only then did the princess reluctantly calm down.】
Ministers: Wow!
And then what?
I didn't expect it... Xu Yanmo was right. People always emphasize something the more they lack. Isn't this the case with the Wen family? When they met a powerful princess, they criticized the princess for not being gentle enough.
Tsk tsk.
【And then! 】
【Originally, after the husband's death, the wife had to mourn for her husband for three years, and vice versa, the husband only had to mourn for his wife for one year. The same was true when a princess died, but three months ago, when Princess Qiyang died, she went directly to threaten Princess Qiyang's husband to mourn for her sister for three years. 】
【Wen Xingai knew about this and wanted to exercise his power as a father-in-law, scolding Princess Xiangyang for tarnishing Princess Qiyang's virtue and making her restless even after death. Princess Xiangyang directly blocked him back and said don't worry, if she died, the husband wouldn't have to be wronged to mourn for three years, she would take the husband with her. 】
【Hahahahahaha, my god, this princess is amazing, Wen Xingai was so blocked that he couldn't speak. 】
Ministers: Wow! Wow!
I have to say, other people's private affairs are so delicious, I can't stop listening to them.
I didn't expect that this old-fashioned man would be afraid. Why is he pushing Princess Wanshou so hard!
Isn't this bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
The teasing eyes of the officials were directed at Wen Yushi one by one. Wen Yushi's neck was almost red, but he still frowned and stiffened his neck.
He actually thought that Princess Xiangyang's affairs would be exposed, but until he really faced this situation, he realized that those pointing and talking, whispering, and weird looks would make people so uncomfortable.
And...
it was the princess who was rude, and my Wen family was polite, so what's wrong with that! It's the princess who is embarrassed, not my Wen family! What's wrong with these people! Shouldn't they blame the princess for not being a faithful wife!
Of course, the old-fashioned man couldn't stand it, but he couldn't stop Xu Yanmiao.
——Anyway, if he shouted to shut up, Xu Yanmiao would definitely not realize that he was shouting at him. And if he shouted at Xu Yanmiao, the officials closest to him would rush over and cover his mouth before he finished shouting.
The benefits brought by Xu Yanmiao's voice were particularly great. For example, the rebellion of the South Vietnam Kingdom that was exposed yesterday. Because it was exposed in advance and the traitors were not well prepared, this rebellion would definitely be perfectly suppressed and there would not be too many casualties. There are already more than a dozen nobles who have stuffed their sons and nephews into the army and let them go to the battlefield to make a fortune.
He, Wen Xingai, wanted to damage the interests of everyone, but it was impossible.
And what made Wen Xingai want to die was that Xu Yanmiao's voice hadn't stopped yet!
He is still digging up dirt on his family! And it is not limited to the princess and her husband!
[Tsk tsk, there are so many melons in this family. His elder brother, who is the prince's attendant, played with a young man and got a sexually transmitted disease. ]
Officials: Oh my!
I didn't expect the prince's attendant to play with a young man. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance!
Prime Minister Dou: "..."
After a long while, he reacted and took a breath of cool air.
"Sheren Wen?!"
Wen Yushi widened his eyes and murmured: "My elder brother... is seventy-five years old!"
The prince suddenly heard about the fierce things of his own attendant and was choked by his saliva: "Cough cough cough cough!" After coughing, he muttered: "Old but strong."
This is more exciting than his father who was sixty-three years old and still had a pear blossom pressing on a crabapple tree.
Awesome! Too awesome!
He likes it!
...Isn't this too bad?
The prince touched his remaining conscience and thought that he usually disliked this servant, always arguing with him about the principles of the world, and often admonished him with a red face and thick neck, saying that he was too chivalrous and not like a ruler.
Thinking of this, he immediately lost his conscience.
The melon is really delicious, hehe!
He was also asked to be gentle, respectful and prudent, at least he never messed around in bed!
All the officials took a big bite of the melon and couldn't help but talk about it in the court.
"Sheren Wen is so careless that he actually got sick."
"I knew it, their family always pretends to be noble, there must be some unknown scandal, and someone has dug it out?"
"Puff - I'm just waiting to see the show, the Crown Prince's Sheren, tut tut, after today, I don't know if I can be the Crown Prince's Sheren." "
Don't talk about the Crown Prince's Sheren, I'm afraid Princess Xiangyang should change her husband."
Some people who are curious secretly went to see the old emperor and found that his majesty's face was indeed livid, and his expression was particularly bad.
Xu Yanmiao didn't notice. Xu Yanmiao was still digging.
His eyes were as bright as a flashlight.
