Chapter 205: Shooting Yourself in the Foot
"Old Madam, I know that my son's fault cannot be redeemed by simply coming to your house to apologize. As long as you ask, I will submit a memorial..."
When Marquis Qingyuan saw that Old Lady Xu did not respond, he spoke again.
However, before he could finish, Old Lady Xu chuckled and said, "What kind of joke is Qingyuan Hou making?"
"Mother Qi, this is just bad luck. It's an accident."
"What does it have to do with your family's prince?"
"Although I am old, I am not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong."
He wants to achieve his goal through me. Does he think she is old and confused?
It is impossible for Old Lady Xu to let Marquis Qingyuan get his wish, but it is also impossible for this matter to pass in this way.
Since Marquis Qingyuan wants to protect the person who actually harmed Mother Qi, then don't blame her for bullying the weak and teach him a profound lesson.
After sending the Qingyuan Marquis family of three away, Old Lady Xu called his two nephews over.
Xu Yan, Duke of Changle, and Xu Bang, Duke of Yong'an.
One request, to impeach Marquis Qingyuan.
No matter if it was poor parenting, favoring concubines over his wife, or anything else, as long as there was any bad thing that could be found related to Marquis Qingyuan, it could all be brought out for impeachment.
"Third Aunt, Marquis Qingyuan is the legitimate brother of Concubine De. Now that Concubine De is in great favor, is it appropriate for us to impeach Marquis Qingyuan?"
Duke Yong'an Xu Bang spoke cautiously.
Old Lady Xu glanced at Lord Yong'an indifferently and said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Go ahead and impeach him. Also, please note that any member of the royal family who commits a crime can be impeached!"
"If you have the upper hand, you will be invincible!"
"Thank you for your guidance, nephew, I understand!"
Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an responded in unison and then retreated together.
…
Following the order of Old Lady Xu, the sons of noble families in the capital city were truly in danger.
For a time, impeachment was prevalent in the capital.
The one who suffered the most was Emperor Yongping, because he was the one who ultimately had to make the decision on all the impeachment memorials.
"Yuan Shu, what do you think I should do?"
Emperor Yongping was very tired.
These noble sons were all domineering by nature. If you were to say that any of them were truly malicious and oppressed the good, there really wasn't one.
From the perspective of ordinary civilians, these children of nobles may really be worthless.
But from the emperor's perspective, these guys can all be disciplined.
"Or, catch them all?"
Yan Jing glanced at Emperor Yongping. "Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an were the first to initiate the impeachment, and the Xu family's children have always been the most disciplined. Why doesn't Your Majesty arrest these people and hand them over to Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an for their supervision?"
"Hmm, ha, ha ha... Okay, that's a good idea!"
Emperor Yongping pondered for a moment and then immediately became happy.
The person who tied the bell must untie it.
The troubles caused by Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an must naturally be resolved by themselves.
So, an imperial edict was sent to Xu's mansion.
Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an successfully shot themselves in the foot.
This group of captured sons of nobles were able to show off their power in the streets, and they were all the treasures of their respective mansions.
Is it easy to discipline a group of precious kids like this?
Old Madam Xu is indeed of a higher generation, but she is old after all. If she passes away one day and leaves behind this mess, it will be up to them, the brothers, to deal with it.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Duke Yong'an looked at Duke Changle with a bitter expression.
"Go ask Auntie San!"
Duke Changle also had a bitter look on his face. If they had known this would be the outcome, they would rather be scolded by Old Lady Xu than to resort to impeachment. It would be righteous!
