Wow! He was so angry that he vomited blood!

[The eldest son of the Wen family is the prince's attendant, the second son of the Wen family is Yu Shi, and the third son of the Wen family... Oh! The third son was a bandit, and later joined the Xia army. During the war, he claimed to protect the tombs of the previous dynasty, but actually dug up the tombs and resold the property. ]

[I remember that the tombs that were dug up were...]

The Minister of Rites attached great importance to the excavation of the tombs.

——It was because of the third son of the Wen family that he worked hard to work in the Ministry of Rites in the officialdom.

When he heard this again, his face still showed sadness and anger. In sync with the inner voice, he whispered: "The Tai Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu of Zhou, the Xiao Mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong of Zhou, and the royal mausoleum of King Yuan of Zhou and his wife Jiugu."

The Minister of Personnel has always been timid, but at this moment, he also joined the discussion, and the morning sun dyed his face an angry orange.

"Five hundred years ago, the Chu royal family was weak and lived in the south of the Yangtze River. Foreign races entered the Central Plains, the Five Barbarians were in chaos, and the six tribes of the Western Barbarians stole the Nine Provinces. For three hundred years, the chaos was dark. It was Emperor Taizu of Zhou who started from humble beginnings, drove out the Tartars, and restored China. Wen Xingyi dug up the Tai Mausoleum, which was really hateful!"

"And Jiugu." The Minister of Rites felt very uncomfortable. "She was a remarkable woman. In the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, there were many storms and bandits. It was she who persuaded King Yuan to organize an army to protect the people. When the bandits were about to break into the city, she brandished an iron rod to attack the enemy, making the bandits flee in panic. She later died in the city, leaving only a will not to harm the people. It was the people who collected her body. Later, the rebels who occupied this place renovated Jiugu's tomb and added some burial objects for her in order to win the hearts of the people. Even so, they could not escape the covetousness of that beast."

[You would have never thought of it! The only son of Wen Xingyi, the third son of the Wen family, his own son! His precious boy, on the contrary, hated his father's behavior so much that he gave up his bright future and traveled around to repair tombs, willing to be a tomb keeper. 】

【Tsk tsk, the tide turns, who can escape the fate of the heavens! 】

If you don't dig deeper into this kind of thing, you really won't know. After all, the son of the third son of Wen did this at his own expense, and never thought of using it to publicize anything.

It was the first time that the officials knew that the young master of the Wen family was doing such good deeds in private.

Good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboos!

The Minister of Revenue joked: "How much determination made the young master of the Wen family make a decision that goes against his ancestors."

This is really hurtful.

In an instant, the second-rank officials burst into a small range of laughter.

Someone else said: "Are the father and son of the Wen family determined to go against the grave?"

The laughter increased slightly.

It didn't reach Xu Yanmiao, but Wen Yushi heard it, which was more than enough.

The most delicious melon is the melon of people you know. The smaller the place, the faster the rumor spreads. The widow at the east entrance of the village is having an affair with the fool at the west entrance of the village, and the scholar at the south entrance of the village is actually secretly having an affair with the butcher at the north entrance of the village... This makes the villagers more excited than the tragic love between an emperor or a general they don't know. They sit under the big banyan tree and start to mutter.

The group of people in the court are essentially no different from the villagers. After discovering their colleague's melon, they gnawed it very hard.

But for the party being gnawed, it's not so pleasant.

Wen Yushi could no longer put on his serious and upright expression, his face full of anxiety.

He memorized the faces of those officials who were discussing in a low voice one by one, gritting his teeth.

You wait, I don’t believe that you are seamless eggs!

[Wow, there’s more...]

Xu Yanmiao’s excited voice came.

Wen Xingai was particularly irritable.

Can you stop it!

Always staring at other people’s family affairs to see what’s going on!

Can’t you respect other people’s privacy!

What my family does is none of your business!

Xu Yanmiao couldn’t hear his voice.

[Wow! The fourth child in their family actually...]

Manchao Wenwu tiptoed and looked at Xu Yanmiao involuntarily.

The veins on Wen Xingai's forehead jumped, and a burst of air burst out from his chest, bringing blood back and rushing to his throat...

"Puff——"

Xu

Yanmiao's heart stopped.

He looked up in confusion and saw that the front seemed to be in chaos, but he didn't know what happened.

So he continued to poke the military secretary: "What's going on in front? I was distracted just now and didn't pay attention."

Xu Yanmiao suddenly became excited: "Could it be the legendary death remonstrance? In order to make the princess submit to her husband and become his wife, this Wen Yushi decided to hit his head and die, threatening the emperor?" What

a big news!

Military Secretary: "..."

That look, it was so complicated that Xu Yanmiao couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, this brother is a good person, and he patiently explained to him: "Wen Yushi vomited blood, probably because of his old illness."

"Oh, oh." Xu Yanmiao believed it. He nodded, and then realized: "Then the husband for the wife..."

The military secretary was silent again, and then said: "Probably, no one will stand up for this."

Dying for the country is a loyalty, but dying for a former son-in-law who has nothing to do with it, forget it.

For example, Cui Yushi.

He looked at Wen Yushi, who was lying on the ground and his life or death was unknown, with a sneer on his lips, raised his chin, and smiled with a sense of superiority.

Stupid, and Xu Yanmiao, this little Bai Ze, is going to confront him head-on? Don't you know that he has a lot of intelligence in his hands? He knows everything you know and you don't know. If you don't want to be a joke, just be honest.

Fortunately, I chose to be prudent and protect myself, otherwise, I am afraid that two people would be vomiting blood and fainting on the ground.

Suddenly, the old emperor asked faintly: "Cui Yi, what do you think of my treatment of Liu Yi?"

Cui Yi suddenly shuddered and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty's treatment is naturally fair and just. The former son-in-law bullied the princess, which was bullying the royal family. It is not groundless to say that he committed treason and had the intention of rebellion."

The old emperor said again: "But I think what Wen Xingai said makes some sense. It is a secular norm that the husband is the rule of the wife. If I forcefully intervene, wouldn't it be foolish?"

Cui Yi smiled after hearing this: "If it were an ordinary family, a wife destroying her husband's family would naturally be a human affair, but in the court and the royal family, this is nothing, and it is not worth bringing it up in the court meeting."

The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

Cui Yi continued: "What's more, we are your Majesty's subjects, sitting high in the temple, supported by the military and civilians, and receiving great grace from the emperor. Instead of thinking about how to share the emperor's worries and plead for the people, we are entangled in such trivial matters as whether a family can fulfill the husband's responsibility for the wife. It is really absurd!"

He stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "If all the discussions in the temple are like this every day, wouldn't all the nobles be a joke! They will all become greedy people who want to gain a small opportunity and eat for free!"

Xu Yanmiao almost slapped his thigh.

Wonderful!

This Cui Yi is really good at talking, and extreme self-help is also quite awesome.

I can't help but regret, why can't I learn it myself? If I can learn it myself, maybe it will be in the emperor's heart.

The old emperor was satisfied, and with a wave of his hand, he interrupted Cui Yi's subsequent expression of loyalty: "In this case, the Song family will maintain the original judgment. You will report to the Ministry of Revenue later and be appointed as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue. Coincidentally, my Princess Wanshou is also in the Ministry of Revenue, as a clerk of the Ministry of Revenue."

Cui Yi really didn't notice that Princess Wanshou was also in the court today. When he heard what the old emperor said, he tried to suppress his criticism of women being officials, and hugged his nine clans and said carefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He also said: "It turns out that Your Highness is a clerk of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the incoming and outgoing documents."

Then, he saluted Princess Wanshou from a distance and said respectfully: "Please give me more advice in the future."

Cui Yi was not a college student who came out of the ivory tower, and he understood the meaning of the emperor's words very well.

- Isn't it just to let him support Princess Wanshou in the Ministry of Revenue? All right! Support! He supports everything!

The old emperor was even more satisfied.

The college student was still harassing his good colleague: "What rank is the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue?"

The clerk of the Ministry of War said numbly: "The fifth rank."

The college student said clearly and stupidly: "From the fourth rank to the fifth rank, the reduction is not much."

The clerk of the Ministry of War: "You can't say that, the position of the Yushi is transcendent, and he has the privilege of reporting things on rumors - just one thing, there is no need to produce evidence, just hearsay, the Yushi can make trouble in the court. The Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue is more plain and unpretentious."

Xu Yanmiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah! I understand! It's like falling from heaven to the earth."

The clerk of the Ministry of War: "..."

Actually, it's not wrong to say that.

There was nothing big in the next court meeting, and it was soon over.

——This did disappoint many ministers, as they thought Xu Yanmo would reveal other exciting things.

The old emperor took a sedan chair to Wuying Hall to review official documents. Thinking of his great victory in the court today, he felt very happy.

With his eyes glued to the official documents, he said to the eunuch without raising his head: "Why don't you have some tact? Why don't you bring the empress's soup?"

After an awkward silence, the eunuch was so scared that he stuttered: "Your Majesty, there is no, no soup." The

old emperor looked up suddenly and widened his eyes involuntarily: "Impossible! The empress sends soup to me every day after I leave the court."

The eunuch was hesitant to speak, and the eunuch The eunuch gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, there is really no soup."

The old emperor raised his voice and emphasized, "Impossible! It must be still on the way. You, an old slave, are too lazy to go and check."

The chief eunuch hastily agreed and tiptoed out. The old emperor lowered his head with satisfaction and continued to review official documents. After a while, the palace door was opened again. The old emperor looked up and saw the chief eunuch returning empty-handed.

"Where's the soup?"

"Your Majesty, I walked all the way to your prince's bedroom, and your prince said..." The eunuch wanted to wipe the sweat off his face but didn't dare to. He could only repeat from his body to his face with a stiff expression: "Your Majesty said that if Your Majesty wants to drink soup, you can ask the kitchen to make it."

The old emperor slammed the table, his face full of indignation: "She--"

"How dare she!"

The old emperor was angry: "She ignored me just for a cheating maid?" The

old emperor cursed: "I just care too much about her on weekdays!"

The old emperor held the pen: "I want to see if she can sit still if I don't go to her palace!" He

lowered his head and corrected official documents. After an hour, he looked up: "Did the queen come to apologize?"

"Your Majesty, no."

"Yeah." The old emperor nodded indifferently and continued to correct official documents.

Two hours later.

"Did the Queen come to apologize?"

"Your Majesty, no."

"Hmm..." The old emperor moved his legs, twisted his hands, and looked up at the window.

Three hours later.

"The Queen is here..." The old emperor paused, put the pen on the table, and stood up with a "bang", pushing the chair back a long way. "Go! Pepper Room! I want to see if she really rebelled!"

...

Princess Wanshou entered the palace holding the official seal. She wanted to talk to her father about being an official again. When she found that her father was not in Wuying Palace, she asked the guards nervously: "Where is my father? Hmm? Pepper Room? I want to go there, you don't have to follow me."

Then she walked all the way to the outside of the Pepper Room. Strangely, there was no one guarding the door outside the palace.

Princess Wanshou was confused. As she approached the palace gate, she heard her father's voice coming from inside.

"Don't be angry. If we don't want to kill her, then we won't kill her. How about exiling her?" "

Okay, okay, no exile, no exile. Let her go to the palace..." "Okay
