"Chief Hong, I am willing to retire on behalf of such a vicious person. Is that a problem?" The prince glanced at everyone present and finally looked at Chief Hong.
"Stop, stop, definitely stop. On behalf of everyone in the Shangguan family, I agree that you should stop." Patriarch Hong was also very angry about this matter.
"Okay, hang him directly after the break." The prince sentenced him on the spot.
As the Prince Rong of the Great Wei, he certainly had the right to take the life of a guilty woman. No one would dare to say that he went too far and that he was killing his enemy.
"No, Your Highness, you can't do this." The old lady suddenly stood up from the ground as if she had a thousand pounds of strength, took a few steps to the front of the prince, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Brother, you can't treat her like this. She is your aunt. She also gave birth to me and my younger sister for the prince. My younger sister is still Concubine Wan in the palace.
The deceased is still alive. It has been so many years. Please let her go, brother. She is old and doesn't have many years left to live.
Please be kind and let her live a few more years. You can divorce her or punish her. Big brother, please spare her life. I beg you."
When the old man saw that the prince wanted to kill his relatives, he was extremely panicked.
If he died, my sister would definitely not forgive him.
He also knelt before the prince and begged for mercy.
After all, she was his dearest daughter. How could he watch her being hanged?
If he does nothing, people will talk about him and he will be too embarrassed to see anyone when he goes out.
Only then did Mrs. Yu come to her senses and knelt before the prince.
Shangguan Zifeng and his wife also knelt before the prince.
"Your Highness, please let the old lady go. She has done something wrong. You can punish her in any way you want, but you can't hang her." The old lady begged.
"Uncle, I will never do anything reckless again. I will make progress and practice martial arts well. I will be at the forefront on the battlefield. Please let the old lady go." Shangguan Zifeng had been training in the military camp for a year and had some military responsibility.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I didn't kill my elder sister directly.
I just want her health to get better, so she doesn't have to worry about the palace, and she won't stop me from getting close to you, the king.
She was too weak and died of illness.
If my elder sister wasn't narrow-minded, I wouldn't have done that, because at least I didn't harm you. Now you are still Prince Rong, if I were more cruel, this throne would not be yours, but Hongchen's.
I gave birth to two children for the Shangguan family. You can't do this to me. I don't deserve to die."
The old lady's forehead was red from knocking her head. The prince didn't give in despite so many people pleading for her, so she started to defend herself again.
Yu Yuanzheng found it funny, the difference between fifty and a hundred steps.
"Your Highness, it is a bit too much to strangle her. She did give birth to a son and a daughter for you.
Now the eldest prince's legs are disabled, and the first and third princes are among the candidates for the throne.
If the Third Prince were to ascend to the throne in the future, Old Madam Xu would be his maternal grandmother.
If he were to act too harshly, the relationship between Prince Rong's Mansion and the royal family would be affected in the future.
"Our Rong Palace takes the people of the world as our priority. If the relationship between the royal family and the Rong Palace becomes strained, it will be detrimental to the people."
Chieftain Hong also stood up to persuade the prince, saying that what he said was from the perspective of justice, considering the palace and the people.
After hearing what Patriarch Hong said, the prince raised his eyes but said nothing.
"Your Majesty, divorce her and send her to a nunnery to be a nun. Send two people from the clan to supervise her and let her work in the nunnery every day, confess her sins, and pray for the palace.
If she doesn't repent, it won't be too late to kill her."
Chief Hong continued to persuade Wu and even thought of a way to punish him.
The hall was silent for a while, everyone was waiting for the prince's final decision.
"Your Majesty, what the clan leader said makes sense.
When a person dies, everything ends. Sometimes, being alive can punish a person more than being dead.
Let her do harder work than farmers every day, let her live a life worse than death. She has been used to a life of luxury, and falling into the mud may be the best punishment. "Suddenly, Shangguan Ziqi spoke.
He felt that death was a shame; everyone was going to die anyway, and dying too quickly would not have much of a punishment effect.
The most satisfying thing is to see her suffer a fate worse than death.
It would be best if she were tortured until she wants to die, which would make people happy.
After hearing this, the prince's eyes brightened a little and his expression eased a little.
"Okay, let's do it. Send her to Kutuo Nunnery outside the capital, and ask her to fetch water for all the nuns in the nunnery every day. Let her farm the land behind the nunnery. If the people in the nunnery go hungry, she will be whipped ten times a day until she can carry the loads again." The prince finally made up his mind.
Kutuan Temple was a place specifically for punishing noble ladies from large families in the capital.
Those who made a mistake but did not want the world to know about their shame would send the girl there to be punished.
After hearing the prince's decision, the old lady trembled like a frost-bitten eggplant.
The master helped his mother up only after he saw that she didn't need to die.
As long as you are not dead, there will be hope for the future. This is what the master thinks.
As long as the third prince is named the crown prince in the future, and as long as Concubine Wan can leave the palace to visit their mother, even the nunnery will not dare to so blatantly force people to the point of having no life left.
On that day, the prince sent two old maids to follow, and clan leader Hong personally sent his own old lady to supervise.
Explain the prince's intention to the abbot.
To shave one's head and arrange work.
There is no need for the two old maids from the palace to come, just stay there and watch for a while.
If someone wanted to release the water, they would report it to the palace.
Since then, there has been no old lady in the palace.
The prince also arranged for the two old women who came to serve as witnesses to live in Kutu Temple. They were not asked to do any work there, but to live there for their retirement and decide for themselves what they wanted to do.
Yu Yuanzheng thought that the king's operation was really good. It made the former master and servant "love and hate each other" together.
Those two old ladies would definitely watch over the old lady while she worked more attentively than any other supervisor.
The palace kept the matter secret and did not let the news spread to the streets.
The master was brought into the palace by the third prince to meet Concubine Wan.
After the master told the whole story, Concubine Wan was so angry that she smashed several high-quality cups.
"Why did mother leave herself an excuse? She should have dealt with the two maids at the beginning. Why is she thinking about the master-servant relationship?" She didn't know what to say and could only blame the old lady for not being ruthless enough.
"Third sister, mother is already like this, what should we do now?"
"You ask me, but who should I ask? If you were ambitious since childhood and better than your elder brother, could you not protect your mother? It's all because you are useless. All you do is play with women all day long. Sooner or later, you will die in a woman's belly." Concubine Wan was furious.
Having such a brother was of no help to her at all, and sometimes even held her back.
As a result, she had no choice but to seek cooperation with the third room.
"My Lady, calm down. Now that things have come to this, we have to think of a way. We can't let the old lady be tortured to death." The Third Prince comforted her.
After hearing this, Concubine Wan calmed down a little.
"My son, send two maids from your house to keep an eye on her and help with any tiring or laborious tasks. Don't let your grandmother die of exhaustion. She has been pampered her entire life, how could she know how to do any labor?"
"Yes, Concubine Li." The third prince agreed immediately.
"My son, how is the cooperation between you and your third uncle?" Concubine Wan suppressed her anger and asked about this.
