When the three adults walked out of Jianzhang Palace, Mr. Cui, the second assistant, couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is really too narrow-minded towards the direct descendant of King Ding."

"Prince Ding is a sick man, and it is natural that your Majesty does not pay attention to him." Mr. Qiu, the censor of Zuodu, did not forget to retort.

"This statement is false. King Ding has recovered his health and is no longer a sick man."

"Who has the final say? Ye Ci in the mountains can't have the final say! How can a sick man inherit the great plans of the country? Both of you know how much damage will be caused by frequent changes of emperors. I advise you both

Take care of yourself and don't try to excuse King Ding. It's a matter of filial piety, and no punishment is too severe."

"What is filial piety? The elders are kind first, and then the children are filial. If the elders are not kind, does Mr. Qiu also have to be filial?"

"Absurd! There is a reason for Pingwuhou and his wife's treatment of Ye Ci. If it weren't for the wild Taoist's nonsense, it would not have caused the separation of mother and daughter."

"Both of you, please don't say a few words! Since His Majesty has asked the officials in Beijing to discuss this matter publicly, let's listen to everyone's opinions." Wen Shoufu always walks on the road of harmony and is a role model among officials.

snort!

The Big Three broke up unhappy.

Regarding filial piety and unfilial piety, officials expressed their opinions in this book one after another.

Some are in favor of severely punishing King Ding.

There are also those who favor small punishments but big warnings, believing that the matter is extenuating.

There are also a small number of people who believe that the Pingwu Marquis and his wife should be severely punished. This couple has demonstrated their selfishness to the fullest. Pingwu Marquis Ye Huaizhang has personal ethics issues and should be removed from his official position and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. Unfortunately, there are too few people in this category.

, the voice is too low to stir up any waves.

Although the courtiers were talking about it, Emperor Yuan Kang remained unmoved.

For a time, no one was sure of the emperor's intentions.

He is the one who lets everyone discuss it, and he is the one who doesn't make the decision.

Even Concubine Xu, who was full of confidence, had a bald head at the moment and could not guess His Majesty's thoughts. Moreover, every time she took the opportunity to mention this matter during bedtime, Emperor Yuan Kang would always change the subject.

What does this mean?

…

The Ye family was happy for a few days, and then they couldn't be happy anymore.

Why?

I thought I had been hit by an unknown source.

First, the shop was overwhelmed by many people, and even suffered losses continuously. There were problems with several batches of goods, and there was a backlog on hand, which cost at least thousands of taels of silver.

The farmer of the farm got into a fight with his neighbor and killed someone.

As misfortunes never come singly, the drug store in which the family invested was killed again.

Ye Huaizhang was riding a carriage home, but encountered a car accident on the way and broke a leg.

Also, Ye Silang, the most promising member of the Ye family, was accused of plagiarism, expelled from the college, and returned home in despair.

One by one, one by one, if you say it is all an accident, even a ghost would not believe it.

It is clear that someone is deliberately targeting the Ye family. They want to bring the Ye family to death!

For a time, the sky above Ye Mansion was covered with dark clouds and the wind was roaring. The slightest movement made everyone feel at risk.

This is offending someone and being retaliated against!

"My mother's side has also suffered a disaster. My sister-in-law has lost a hand, and my brother has been impeached. I'm afraid his official position will be lost. What should I do now?"

Su Shi was in panic all day long.

She really didn't expect that revenge would come so quickly and violently, without even giving them any time to breathe.

Ye Huaizhang sighed. He now has a broken leg and will have to recuperate it for several months.

It happened that at this time, the maid reported that the old lady had invited them to Songhe Hall to discuss matters.

Su immediately said: "It must be because of Shiro's expulsion from the academy. Who would have thought that Shiro, who has always been known as a talented scholar, would actually plagiarize other people's articles, not just once or twice, but he is also a habitual offender for many years."

"Do you really believe that Shiro plagiarized other people's articles?" Ye Huaizhang asked back.

Su Shi was sure and sure, "The Marquis is often away from home and doesn't understand the situation. I know that Shiro is not as studious as the rumors say. Several times, the third master caught him reading a book and secretly taught him a lesson behind closed doors.

."

"Why don't I know this?"

"Of course the third room will not publicize such a shameful thing. If I didn't have an informant there, I would have been kept in the dark."

"So, it is really possible that Shiro plagiarized someone else's article."

"Master Marquis, should we go to the old lady? I guess the old lady must blame us for Shiro's expulsion. She must not have a good look on us."

Ye Huaizhang hesitated for a moment, "She is an old lady, so let's go."

How can you not go when your elders call you?

The couple went to Songhetang with heavy hearts.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted with hateful eyes.

"What a good thing you did. Things happened one after another in the mansion, and the Marquis himself broke his leg, which caused Shiro to be implicated and expelled from the academy. You two losers, why don't you kneel down."

The old lady Xu was full of anger and her tone was extremely cruel. She looked like she was bedridden.

Su Shi secretly complained that she was pretending to be ill on purpose and took the opportunity to punish her. This old godly woman will not die well.

Ye Huaizhang must not kneel, he is a marquis, and he has a broken leg.

Su Shi hesitated and didn't want to kneel down. She was the Marquis's wife, so why should she kneel down? It was too embarrassing.

"Kneel down!" The old lady Xu looked directly at Su. It was she who was being taught a lesson today.

Mrs. Su looked embarrassed, "Old lady..."

"Kneel down!"

Ye Huaizhang also told Mrs. Su not to confront her, and just kneel down.

Su was so aggrieved that she knelt down unwillingly.

"Do you know you are wrong?" the old lady Xu asked sharply.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know where she went wrong."

"You still dare to quibble. You encouraged the Marquis to go to Zongzheng Temple to file a complaint. Is this the case?"

"Ye Ci is unfilial, so it's natural to sue him."

"Absurd! You don't want to think that the person standing behind King Ding is Empress Zhang. The Empress has a good reputation and is easy to get along with. Haven't you learned enough lessons these days? You broke your leg and didn't learn the lesson. You want to lose your life.

Really? Queen Zhang’s methods are ruthless, and they are just an appetizer at the moment. You and your wife don’t know how to repent, and it will be too late to regret it when your family is ruined.”

"Why is it so serious?" Ye Huaizhang was a little flustered.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old lady Xu snorted coldly, "Queen Zhang dared to point at His Majesty's nose in front of the ministers and scold him. She is the only one who dares to address His Majesty directly.

A person whose name is taboo but will not be beheaded. Do you think she dares to kill you?

If she kills you and your wife, do you think His Majesty will stand up for you? Do you really think that because Queen Zhang is banned from the Weiyang Palace, she can’t do anything to you? That’s simply stupid! Queen Zhang can leave the Weiyang Palace at any time if she wants.

Yes, as long as she wants to.

Everyone is being encouraged to be ignorant. Concubine Xu is favored, but she has a weak foundation. The Xu family has no foundation at all, and they don't even have any decent talents.

If the Zhang family wants to crush the Xu family to death, it is as easy as squeezing an ant to death. You two should go to Zongzheng Temple to withdraw the petition and say it is all a misunderstanding."

Ye Huaizhang defended: "However, this matter has been brought before His Majesty and has been discussed by the civil and military officials of the court. It is too late to withdraw at this time.

Moreover, once withdrawn, not only will Concubine Xu hold a grudge, but your Majesty may also hold a grudge. Don’t forget, old lady, no matter how powerful Queen Zhang is, she will have to lie down in front of His Majesty even if she is a tiger."

The old lady Xu's face was livid, "I'm telling you this, His Majesty doesn't care about your life or death, and neither does Concubine Xu. This drama is a fight between gods in the sky, and you are the pawns being used. After all,

Just throw it away.

Mr. Marquis, I have been reminding you that our Ye family is not what it used to be, and it is getting worse day by day. We would rather stay stable as we are now than get involved in any factional struggle."

"However, the old lady also said before that King Ding was a sick man and was not qualified to participate in the battle for the crown prince..."

The old lady Xu sighed, "That was before! The situation has changed now. Regardless of whether King Ding is in the capital or not, the Zhang family, the Xue family, and the Xu family are not families we can offend. I have thought a lot during this time.

I just barely figured it out.

It is a good thing that Ye Ci disowns you and your wife. In this way, the Ye family will not be forced to participate in the battle for the crown prince position, and peace and security will be a blessing. Otherwise, they will be worried all day long, just like now,

No one can bear it."

"However, our Ye family has no way out. As soon as we went to Zongzheng Temple to hand in the petition, we have joined this battle. It is impossible to withdraw this lawsuit."

After all, Ye Huaizhang has some brains. The current situation does not allow the leader of the Ye family to be on both ends.

It can be said that we are riding a tiger with a hard time getting off. We can only bite the bullet and be forced to wait for a result.

The old lady Xu was worried to death, "Why don't you two know how to use your brains when doing things? You don't even say hello to me in advance for such a big thing. You idiot! Now the whole family is in a state of confusion. Mr. Hou, what do you think we should do?
