Chapter 77: A Fight in the Palace
"Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. It's not that I'm always dealing with him. It's clearly him bullying my sister. He's been relying on his status as a prince to repeatedly try to hit her.
My sister is a weak little girl, unable to carry anything, and not as strong as me. How many punches can she withstand from the Sixth Prince?
"My Lady, as the eldest sister, I can't just stand by and watch my younger sister get beaten, right?"
Jiang Wan is not a fool, he would definitely not say openly that Li Shenxiu, that bastard, has his eyes on his second son, something that would ruin Jiang Han's reputation.
Fortunately, they are still young. They can just go to the primary school and ask their older brothers and sisters to help them fight and pull them in the direction of the fight.
The Imperial Concubine didn't say whether she believed it or not, but she looked at the Jiang sisters and felt a little worried for her mother-in-law. It's not good to raise these daughters to be too pretty, because there are many troubles.
"Madam Lingguo, please stop crying. If you need my help with anything, just tell me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two mothers reached a tacit understanding.
In the Golden Palace, today is the grand court meeting.
After all the national affairs had been discussed, Ji Xiang stood up and sued Duke Ling.
"Your Majesty, I am filing a complaint against the Duke of Ling for allowing his children to run rampant and bully others.
Yesterday, without any clear reason, my eldest son was seriously injured. Now he is still dying on the sickbed and his life is in danger!
The evil deeds of the Jiang family's children are truly outrageous. Your Majesty, please help me!"
Ji Xun pointed at Jiang Huailiang with a look of grief and indignation, describing him as pathetic and cruel. But Old Jiang was no fool, and compared to throwing his face up to protest in the palace, he was obviously more willing to go out and get away with it.
"Your Majesty, this is unfair! Before I even had the chance to ask Your Majesty for help, this old scoundrel Ji Xun turned the tables on me. This is truly too much!"
A big black bear with an unshaven beard fell down crying in the throne room, following the moves his mother had taught him last night, and complained about his grievances with tears and snot.
"It was clearly Ji Yunzhi's grandson who brought people to block my children and wanted to beat them up. My three children are all well-behaved and obedient and never cause trouble outside.
I don't know how I caught the Ji family's eye, probably because of my useless father. Some people can't beat me, so they shamelessly let their older sons beat up my younger son! Bah, what a shameless thing to bully the weak! "
He just makes up stories and distorts the truth.
"My old man is so old, his legs and feet tremble when he walks. Yesterday, I heard that his precious grandchildren, who are like his lifeblood, were blocked and beaten. He was so angry that he spat out blood. Now he is lying on the edge of the bed, struggling for his life!
"Wow, my dear father! If anything were to happen to you, I would seek justice for you even at the cost of my own life!"
This fellow's mourning routine was the same as always. No, it was obvious that his skills had improved a lot, and he was on par with his old lady. The emperor didn't even want to look at him straight in the eye when he was throwing a tantrum.
In fact, I was a little annoyed with the Jiang family.
Even if the Sixth Prince's arrival was dishonorable, he was still a legitimate prince. He could ignore it, but he couldn't let the girl from the Jiang family do whatever she wanted.
Putting aside other things, I just can't save face.
The head of the civil officials sued the head of the military officials, and a huge quarrel ensued between the civil and military officials on both sides.
"Duke Ling is clearly avoiding the issue. We are talking about you allowing your daughter to commit a crime. Don't bring up those irrelevant matters of your family to confuse the public!"
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? How can it be said that it's nothing? Didn't the Jiang family's old master get sick because his child was bullied? The ancestor of the family is almost dead, and you still have the nerve to say it's nothing? You are so cold-blooded, you beast!"
"Martial artists are vulgar, and I will not argue with you! Now let's talk about the facts. The Jiang family girl bullies the weak and commits evil. She is truly unworthy of the position of the Fourth Prince's consort. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
"You're fucking bullshit! When did I ever use a pen? I used my mouth! If you keep talking nonsense, I can still use my fists!"
Zhang Jingguang jumped the highest and cursed the loudest! Everyone in the court knew that he and Jiang Huai were like donkeys eating from the same trough.
If the old man's children were beaten, it was like his own children were beaten! Although he didn't even have a wife yet, it didn't stop him from jumping up and fighting with those civil servants.
The irreconcilable contradictions between civil and military officials had always existed, and now they were clearly laid out in the Golden Palace. The emperor's heart finally calmed down a lot.
To be honest, he was not afraid of the civil and military officials fighting each other, but he was afraid that the civil and military officials would unite, which would be the most troublesome situation for the emperor.
Duke Cheng'en secretly glanced at the emperor's expression, and instantly made up his mind, then stood up and continued to complain.
"Your Majesty, I also have a memorial to submit.
I, the minister, report that the Duke of Lingguo did not educate his daughter properly, and that she dared to commit treason and disrespect the Sixth Prince, and that he had repeatedly attacked her without knowing the proper etiquette, which was truly a betrayal of the duty of a subject.
"I do not know what Duke Lingguo's intentions are, as to why he would not teach his children to respect the imperial power. I can only report this to the Emperor and ask His Majesty to make the final decision."
This is a really harsh accusation. If Jiang is careless, he will easily fail. Fortunately, he still has a congenital strategic partner on his side.
When Weiwu Hou Qiao Yunhai saw the Zhao family's mortal enemy rushing out, he adhered to the principle that he must oppose whatever the bastard agreed with, and stood firmly on the side of Lingguo Duke.
He held his hands on his waist and fought hard with others.
"Bah, stop talking about etiquette and responsibility! You have something that your Zhao family doesn't even have, and you still have the nerve to come out and make a fuss about it?
When it comes to not respecting the imperial power, who can compare to you, Zhao Heran? I don't even care to talk about the little things you did, as long as everyone knows what they are. But if you shamelessly stand out and pretend to be a loyal minister, that's a bit too shameful! "
Just look at the Sixth Prince's face. He said it had nothing to do with anyone in his Zhao family. Qiao Yunhai was willing to dig out his eyes and step on them like bubbles.
What a shameless bunch of bastards! Having Li Yuanxiu in their clutches wasn't enough; they were actually plotting even more! The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He pointed his finger directly at the Zhao family's lackey, the Minister of Rites.
"I think the girl from the Jiang family is pretty good. She's both righteous and protective of her family. Now she can protect her younger brothers and sisters, and in the future she'll be able to protect men and children. As the uncle of the Fourth Prince, I'm so happy for him to have such a niece-in-law!"
Why should I bother you?
What do you mean by unfit to be the Fourth Prince's consort?
Good fellow, you have a pretty good plan. If the girl from the Jiang family is not worthy, then your girl is, right? I curse you, uncle! "
Every dog in the capital knew how much the Fourth Prince cherished his wife. How dare the Minister of Rites set his sights on the Fourth Prince's wife? I'm afraid the Fourth Prince's little bastards will run over to his family's ancestral grave and poop in the middle of the night.
"Marquis Weiwu, be careful with your words and don't cause trouble in the Golden Palace. We are now discussing the evil deeds of the Jiang family's daughter..."
"You are such a scoundrel! Do you even know how to speak? My nephew's wife is responsible and knows how to protect her younger siblings.
这份疼爱弟弟妹妹的心，你这么个冷心冷肺的东西肯定不知道，但是我知道。小时候谁要敢打我，我姐准冲出来揍谁！
So I think this girl is pretty good and presentable!"
