Chapter 537 Perfect Match
Half an hour later, Prince Hong's grandson and his wives and concubines were escorted into the palace.
Since the fall of the previous emperor, when had they ever seen such a scene in the palace?
Or in the Golden Palace of the previous dynasty?
Everyone was terrified, especially Prince Hong's grandson and wife, whose faces were so pale that they could hardly walk steadily.
There was no need for much torture. Under the majesty of the emperor and the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials on both sides, after just a few threats, the concubine started first, followed by the wife, who confessed everything.
The story is true, and the woman just thrown into the mass grave was not the first or second, but the fourth within a year.
The grandson was so scared that he was shaking all over and started to talk nonsense: "It has nothing to do with me! It's all because they are weak! They didn't hit any vital parts, so how could they die?"
One of the concubines was born in a brothel and was not that shy. She lifted up her sleeves and revealed her swollen and purple arms.
"If I didn't hit the vital parts, I wouldn't be able to withstand your pinching, scratching, whipping and pricking from time to time!"
"Even if he didn't bleed to death, the swelling, suppuration and high fever would be enough to kill him..."
This scene shocked all the civil and military officials.
Fu Zhonghai's face darkened and he asked someone to take the woman downstairs for a physical examination.
After a while, Mrs. Wu came out to report: "There is not a single piece of healthy flesh on this woman's body, and she has old scars..."
Fu Zhonghai looked at Prince Hong coldly: "I never object to someone speaking out for justice, but I really despise it when you don't clean up the shit on your butt and then accuse others of being unclean."
"Prince Hong failed to discipline his children properly and is unworthy of the imperial salary. He is now stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner."
"Announce to the world, anyone who has been wronged by the Prince's Mansion can report to the Dali Temple. Once the case is verified, they will be punished according to the law."
With just a few simple words, Prince Hong's mansion was brought to ruin, and the whole palace was immediately filled with cries.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
At this point, Prince Hong finally regretted his impulsiveness and expressed his contempt for the Fu father and son.
Even if a century-old royal family cannot ascend to the throne, they are still admired by the world and respected by the people.
But he was so angry that his granddaughter's position as queen was snatched away by a widow that he said a few fair words, which led to the fall of the entire Prince's Mansion.
He felt regretful and angry, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground with his head tilted back...
His son and grandson were kneeling on his left and right sides, behind him, so they should be able to catch him.
But seeing Prince Hong falling backwards, they looked at each other, but tacitly did not reach out their hands. Instead, they knocked their heads to the ground and pretended to cry out in pain because they were too late.
"father!"
"grandfather!"
Prince Hong hit his head on the ground with a loud bang. When the imperial physician came forward to examine him, he could only shake his head.
"Your Majesty, it is too late to save the situation."
Fu Zhonghai looked at the scene in front of him and looked at his two children and grandchildren coldly: "What do you think?"
The prince and his grandson kowtowed one after another: "Your Majesty, I will obey you in everything! I know nothing... I know nothing!"
Fu Zhonghai nodded slightly: "That's it..."
They were spared their lives, their families were not confiscated or exterminated, and they were not forced into exile to farm.
But the former glory is certainly gone.
And the evil deeds they have committed will be cleansed up one by one by the Dali Temple.
As long as there are no issues of principle, we will not kill them all.
Everyone in the Prince's Mansion felt relieved and carried the body away.
The sight of blood in the Golden Palace sounded a wake-up call to everyone.
When the emperor is angry, corpses are scattered all over the place.
Although Emperor Tianwu was not bloodthirsty, he would never allow anyone to go against him.
Those who oppose have stopped their movements, those who escape have cowered and pretended to be dead, and those who support have sung praises.
For a time, Zhan Yunfu's past achievements were exaggerated from one point to ten points, and from ten points to one hundred points...
By the time the news reached Zhan Yunfu's ears, she felt that Zhan Yunfu was more than worthy of the emperor.
He is simply the only person in the world worthy of Emperor Tianwu!
Perfect match!
Zhan Yunfu looked at her daughter-in-law, Lady Cui, in front of her, and was stunned after hearing what she said about the situation outside.
"You mean, your father also wrote a letter to speak for me today?"
Princess Cui looked outside the door. There was a nanny guarding the door and no outsiders were around, so she just told the truth.
"Mother, you have worked so hard for the Ningyuan Marquisate for so many years. Now His Majesty is still thinking of you and is taking extra care of the Ningyuan Marquisate..."
"It can be seen that His Majesty has you in his heart..."
Zhan Yunfu's expression gradually turned cold: Does her daughter-in-law want her to marry into the royal family for the future of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion?
Cui Junjun changed the subject: "Although Your Majesty has taken special care of the Ningyuan Marquisate and is particularly concerned about the succession, your wish is the most important."
"If you don't want to, even if His Majesty issues an imperial decree, we must disobey it!"
"It's been said outside that if you don't want to, no one should force you..."
Zhan Yunfu sighed in her heart.
In fact, the daughter-in-law’s analysis is not wrong.
Fu Zhonghai is passionate about her now, always indulging, coaxing and giving in to her. What if one day this affection disappears?
The Ningyuan Marquisate is likely to be on the decline.
The best way, naturally, is to take advantage of His Majesty's willingness and enter the palace as the empress. From then on, the Ningyuan Marquisate will soar to fame and become part of the royal family.
As long as the children are capable and sensible, the Fu family will have decades of good times ahead of them.
After all, the prince is young and strong, and he has the money-making ability of the princess, so it is only a matter of time before Tianwu becomes powerful and powerful...
So, why am I being so pretentious?
She lowered her eyes, looking depressed: "Let me think about it..."
"My daughter-in-law is leaving."
When Lady Cui returned to the house, Niu Shiniang was already waiting there.
The female general chewed some dried meat while looking at Princess Cui: "Sister-in-law, how is the discussion going?"
Cui Junjun smiled gently: "Don't worry, mother will naturally make a conclusion."
Niu Shiniang said, "I feel relieved."
She waved her hand carelessly: "If you ask me, we are all leading troops to fight, what's so complicated about this matter? If you see someone you like, just pounce on him!"
"If you don't like it, just turn around and run!"
"How nice is that, neat and simple?"
Cui Junjun looked at her sister-in-law speechlessly, and smiled helplessly: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. How is the county lady these days?"
Niu Shiniang chuckled and asked the nurse to bring the tire-like little girl over: "She can eat and sleep well. Even a wet nurse can't provide for her..."
The little girl was so fat that you couldn't even find her neck, but her personality was like her mother's. She always smiled when she saw people.
Cui Junjun looked at the increasingly hot weather and said, "Use some prickly heat powder on your neck and armpits. Don't let them get rotten..."
"Don't feed her too much. If she has a big appetite and grows into a ball in her teens, how will she get married?"
Niu Shiniang didn't care: "If children are not allowed to eat enough, what fun is there in life?"
"Besides, I've been a big eater since I was a child, and now I'm the wife of Ningyuan Marquis, right?"
"My father said that everyone who comes into this world has her own dew."
"Just live each day well, why think so much?"
Lady Cui was completely speechless: Can yours be the same?
It was purely my mother's momentary impulse that made the decision!
If you shamelessly break your promise, you will never become the wife of Marquis Ningyuan!
While this side was chattering, Fu Zhonghai, after discussing with Fu Chenan, met with King Ping An alone.
The thin boy was completely different from his previous appearance of pretending to be honest but actually being shrewd and cunning. He even had the calm aura unique to scholars.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor..."
King Ping An performed the salute smoothly, prostrating himself on the ground with a calm tone, without the fearful and unwilling look he had before.
Fu Zhonghai was also stunned...
"I pulled you down from the throne, turned you into an ordinary mute and threw you into an orphanage. Don't you hate me?"
