Xiao Qin's eyes turned sharp, and he stared at the right minister, "Although I am not as powerful as elder brother, but I grew up in Xiao's family. Is it too much for elder brother to expel me from Xiao's family?"
Prime Minister on the right raised his lips, "If you want to get to the bottom of it, the second room is sorry for the first room. My mother is the wife of the Xiao family. Why have you ever called your mother? Since you have long since denied your mother, why do you take the surname Xiao?" Regarding the Tao family's dealing with the eldest family, the truth has already given the second room a chance, it is only to blame that the second room does not know how to restrain itself, and has done so many things to hurt the first room behind the scenes, the truth is not so patient!"
After a pause, Prime Minister on the right looked at the aggrieved Xiao Tan again, and sneered, "If you don't accept it, wait until one day you can sit in the position of the real minister before bargaining with the real one!"
Xiao Tan choked, his face turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves. A burst of anger almost exploded in his heart. He raised his fists and gritted his teeth to hold back, saying every word.
"Thank you, Master Xiang, for giving me your surname today."
Prime Minister on the right glanced at the wives who had made things difficult for Rong Yue again. Those wives trembled and couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs.
"Master Xiang, the old minister will definitely teach you a lesson when he goes back, and ask Master Xiang to show you his noble hand."
A minister stood up, cupped his hands and said to the right minister, staring at his wife from the corner of his eyes.
One took the lead, and several other ministers also stepped forward to beg for mercy.
The Prime Minister on the right glanced at the five ministers, "Since the ministers can't even deal with the back house, how can they manage to stabilize the country? From now on, the five ministers will be temporarily resigned from their positions and return to the government to reflect on March!"
The Prime Minister on the right didn't make things difficult for those wives, but directly took those ministers under the knife. When those wives heard the words, they were so excited that they completely fainted, and they were dismissed from their official positions. It would be better to beat them fifty times.
"Master Xiang..." Several ministers were dumbfounded, this punishment is too heavy.
The Prime Minister on the right squinted at the ministers, "Why, do you have doubts?"
Several ministers' throats tightened, and they couldn't speak at all, let alone expecting the Queen Mother to come back to intercede, now even the Queen Mother herself can't protect herself, the right minister took the King Chen away in front of everyone, even the Queen Mother can say What, let alone a few of their ministers.
The ministers put all the responsibility on the assassins in their hearts. They were all damned assassins. If the assassins had no eyes, how could the right minister have saved Emperor Dongming, made great contributions, and became the regent.
Even... even if the sword stabbed a little deeper, letting Emperor Dongming die would be better than now.
It's all right now, Prime Minister Right was originally a petty temper, Rong Yue almost had a miscarriage, Mrs. Xiao was injured again, it's no wonder Prime Minister Right isn't back!
These ministers were like a bright mirror in their hearts. Although Prime Minister Right said that he had been introspecting for three months, according to Prime Minister Right's temperament, it would not be so simple.
After finally climbing for most of his life to embark on an official career, the right minister completely ruined it with a single sentence. If he dared to repeat anything, the right minister would definitely send people to the frontier.
So everyone had no choice but to hold back, and a minister said instead, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xiang, I know that I am ashamed, and I am willing to reflect on myself for half a year."
As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die, and you may still have a chance in the capital. If you are dispatched to leave the capital after three months, it is really not worthwhile.
"Wei Chen is willing to reflect on himself for a year."
"This minister is also willing to reflect on himself for a year, and he must correct his past mistakes, handle the trivial matters in the back house well, and live up to the teachings of the Prime Minister!"
Several ministers followed suit one after another, scrambling to impose criminal laws on themselves. This scene was astonishing and almost dropped their jaws.
The minister on the right glanced at the ministers wisely, cleared his throat, "I believe that the ministers will be able to manage the back house properly, marry wives and virtuous people, if there is no virtuous and capable wife to help manage the chores in the back house, A few ministers will inevitably feel powerless."
Several ministers looked at each other, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes. If you can't hear such an obvious reminder from the right minister, you will really live in vain for so many years.
It seems that divorce is imperative, if you don't divorce your wife, it will be hard to get rid of the anger in the right minister's heart. For the sake of future official career, all the ministers unanimously decided to divorce their wives immediately after returning to the mansion.
"Yes! I will remember Xiangye's instructions."
The ladies also looked at each other, with an ominous premonition lingering in their hearts, uneasy, they would rather be punished or humiliated by the right.
It is really a kind of torture to just hang out like this. After this beating, the fool also knows that he will definitely have a bad life after going back.
The right minister will either not make a move, and if he does, he will definitely pinch his weakness and sprinkle salt on the wound. No matter how arrogant you are, if you fall into the right minister's hands, you will have to obediently beg for mercy.
The people in the courtyard did not dare to say anything, and several wives breathed a sigh of relief. If it hadn't been for their husbands who had been enjoining them not to fight against the Xiao family, they would have almost helped the Queen Mother to bully the Xiao family just now, otherwise Among the kneeling ladies is myself.
Eunuch He trembled when he looked at the Prime Minister on the right, and said bravely, "Master, the Emperor is still waiting for some imperial physicians."
Prime Minister on the right raised his eyebrows, glanced at several imperial physicians, and then left the courtyard. Eunuch He hurriedly asked several imperial physicians to follow him and leave.
As soon as Prime Minister Right left, everyone in the courtyard heaved a sigh of relief. Some people were unfortunately targeted by Prime Minister Right and felt uneasy, while some were fortunate to have escaped unharmed. There were also a few who had helped Xiao's family, and their faces were full of joy. I can't stop my smile.
It can be said that one person has achieved the Tao and ascended to heaven, and he can't go wrong with following the right minister.
The atmosphere on the two sides was in stark contrast, one side was happy and the other was gloomy.
"Husband..." Princess Chaoren stood up, covering her cheeks, trembling with anger, "Brother, why..."
Du Qin suddenly turned his eyes and stared at Princess Chaoren, and said in a deep voice, "Just now the right minister talked about the Tao family, what's going on!"
Princess Chaoren was startled by Du Tan's expression, and moved her lips, "Husband, why did you believe outsiders?"
"Although I haven't gotten along with the right minister for so many years, the right minister is definitely not a person who talks nonsense. Now that he has spoken, it is absolutely true. There is no need to embarrass you, a woman, so hurry up and say it!"
Du Tan's eyes were ruthless, and his ruthlessness was somewhat similar to that of the right minister, which shocked Princess Chaoren.
Du Tan has been the pride of heaven since he was a child, and he has no choice for his appearance and knowledge. In the past, when Mr. Xiao was the master of the house, Du Tan would pick all the good ones first, and the right minister would not be allowed to interfere.
Even the old Mrs. Xiao was crushed by Aunt Du. In the Xiao family, the two belonged to each other. Mr. Xiao loved Du Tan so much that he was raised as an heir, directly ignoring the eldest son, Prime Minister Right.
Du Tan often goes to the right minister to show off, and the right minister's grades are always neither high nor low every time, and the maintenance is excellent.
Du Tan also always felt that the right minister was not as good as him, so he should give way to him. Only when the Xiao family falls into his hands can it flourish.
At that time, there was a rule that only one person from each family could go to the Hanlin Academy to study. Mr. Xiao didn't even think about it and let Du Tan go directly. The right minister left the Xiao family the next day and joined the military camp. Mr. Xiao didn't He cared about the right minister, and didn't ask any more questions.
As time passed, Du Tan clearly remembered that Mr. Xiao wanted to help Mrs. Du to be his second wife, so that he would be a proper son.
As soon as the news reached Mrs. Xiao's ears, Mrs. Xiao firmly disagreed. Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao had a dispute. Mr. Xiao pushed Mrs. Xiao in a rage, causing Mrs. Xiao to have a miscarriage. His body was gone for more than three months, and Mr. Xiao was in a daze. He didn't even know that Mrs. Xiao was pregnant. Maybe it was because of guilt, so he didn't mention the matter of helping his wife.
After a period of time, Aunt Du was very disappointed when she found out, and said in secret that Mrs. Xiao's miscarriage was intentional, and the child could not be kept at all, so she took the opportunity to push it to Mr. Xiao. Once or twice, Mr. Xiao Don't care, it will inevitably be shaken if there are too many times.
So Mrs. Xiao went to talk to Mrs. Xiao again, Mrs. Xiao was still resolute and refused to agree to Fuping his wife until she died. Mrs. Xiao became annoyed and asked the patriarch directly to tell the matter.
The members of the Xiao family depended on the main branch of the Xiao family to survive, so there were not many objections. Moreover, it was to curry favor with Du Tan. There is no big conflict, and it is nothing more than giving a son-in-law status.
So this matter was carried out very quickly. Mr. Xiao sent out invitations widely, and according to the standard of marrying a wife, let Aunt Du sit in a bridal sedan chair to marry into the Xiao family again. It can be seen that he has put his mind on Aunt Du.
At the moment when the bridal sedan chair entered, Du Tan was still looking forward to the identity of his son-in-law in the future. He never expected that Prime Minister Right would come back with a troop of soldiers and horses, like a demon descending.
The right minister unexpectedly became a general, and became a friend of the late emperor, holding great power in his hand, as if he was a powerful minister, decisive in killing on the battlefield, and even more famous in private.
On that day, the right minister blocked the entrance of Xiao's house, and asked people to pick up Mrs. Xiao's old lady in a sedan chair. In the next month, he first forced Mr. Xiao to have no place in the capital, and then forced the Xiao family The old man Xiao and the second room were completely famous, and it took more than ten years to remove them.
Mr. Xiao petitioned many times, and no one dared to speak for the Xiao family. At that time, Prime Minister You was already a powerful general, so no one would offend Prime Minister Xiao because of Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao had no choice but to relocate his family to the post city. He always hoped that something would happen to the right minister so that he could return to the capital city. This wait lasted for ten years. During the ten years, the dynasty had changed. The right minister went from a general to a hundred. The head of the official has a great reputation and holds great power.
Mr. Xiao had sought out his clansmen countless times, but the clansmen didn't recognize Mr. Xiao at all, and they didn't even see the news of Mr. Right's downfall when he was dying.
Du Tan watched Mr. Xiao die with his own eyes. He was unwilling and regretful. This incident had tortured Du Tan for decades. He was obviously the best, so why did he become the right minister when he was proud.
The remorse in Mr. Xiao's eyes seemed to negate Du Tan, so Du Tan became obsessed and climbed up desperately, surpassing the right minister was what Du Tan wanted to do most in his life.
Now being deprived of the Xiao family's surname by the right party is Du Tan's greatest shame!
This humiliation was bestowed by the person in front of him. At that moment, Du Tan had the intent to kill and stared at Chao Ren.
Chao Ren was startled, and was about to take a few steps back when Du Tan grabbed him, "Say!"
"Husband..." Chao Ren had never seen Du Tan with such an expression. Feeling guilty and scared for a moment, he moved his lips and had to tell the story of inducing Tao Fangfei to contract the disease to Mrs. Xiao.
"Husband, Tao Fangfei made it herself. I just mentioned a few words. I didn't expect her to make cakes for the old lady in a frenzy."
Chao Ren hurriedly excused himself and put all the responsibility on Tao Fangfei. Du Qin closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath, afraid that he would kill Chao Ren by mistake.
As expected, there was a reason for the incident. Ever since Du Tan came to Beijing, he had never thought of attacking the right minister. At least he had to ensure a firm foothold and sufficient capital before confronting the right minister.
Unexpectedly, Chao Ren, an idiot, would come to the door to provoke the right minister. No wonder the right minister attacked the second room.
Du Tan became even more angry, his fists were creaking, and Chao Ren showed pain, "Husband, it hurts."
Du Qin endured and endured, and then let go, "Hmph!"
Chaoren looked aggrieved, she did all this to win the second wife's spirit, if the first wife collapses, the second wife will naturally have a bright future.
"I'm warning you, keep me safe in the future, if not, don't blame me for being rude!" Du Qin whispered in Chaoren's ear, "Don't cause trouble to the father, now the father is in danger, don't worry too much I have fantasies."
Chao Ren clearly saw the flash of killing intent in Du Tan's eyes, and was suddenly speechless in shock, "You!"
She didn't think about Du Tan's words carefully, and she couldn't help but be terrified. Wang An was dragged into the muddy waters of the capital city, and whether he could get his whole body back or not was uncertain. How could he decide for himself.
Chao Ren bit his lips tightly, and regained a trace of reason in the severe pain, "I understand."
After Du Tan finished speaking, he raised his foot and followed. Emperor Dongming was assassinated, how could all the ministers not follow to have a look.
All the ministers stood guard outside the palace. Some looked at the majestic palace with complicated thoughts, and some were in a daze, not knowing what was going on in their minds. Too many things happened that day, which really caught people off guard.
At this moment, Eunuch He opened a crack in the door, "Don't worry, my lords, the emperor has already woken up, and the imperial doctor ordered that you just rest in rest and not be disturbed by anyone. If there is anything wrong with your lords, just speak to the right minister." .”
When the Empress Dowager Lian came over, she just heard these words and snorted sullenly, "Since the emperor is awake, let the Ai family go in to see how the emperor is doing."
Eunuch He looked troubled, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is currently weak, and the imperial doctor ordered you to rest well and not be disturbed."
"Presumptuous, Ai's family is the emperor's mother. If you come to visit the emperor, you still dare to push back. It's a dead end. Get out of the way!"
Even the Empress Dowager was so furious at the moment that she had no sense at all, and the Right Prime Minister just sent people to search for the assassins, turned the entire Yuxiu Palace upside down, and smashed countless rare treasures. You can't look at it at all, let alone lose millions of taels of silver.
Even the Empress Dowager couldn't swallow this bad breath, no, come and see what is going on with Emperor Dongming.
Eunuch He dared to stop the Empress Dowager Lian showing her power, so he stepped aside and let the Empress Dowager Lian enter the door. As soon as the Empress Dowager Lian stepped into the bedroom, a strong smell of blood came over her.
I saw a woman standing beside the bed. The woman had a pretty face, her face was a little pale and dazed. Even the Queen Mother frowned, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Wu knelt down on the ground in a jerk, moved her lips but couldn't say a word, only heard a little palace lady beside her say, "Your Majesty Wu, are you alright?"
Even the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Wugui? Is this the case?"
"Returning to the empress dowager, the emperor was very happy to meet the nobleman before he was assassinated, so he canonized the nobleman."
Empress Dowager Lian's eyes tightened when she heard the words, she jumped over Xiao Wu and looked at the bed. Emperor Dongming was shirtless, with white gauze wrapped around his arms, his face was pale and feeble, except for the injury on his arm, Empress Dowager Lian didn't see anything else. Scars come.
"Mother..." Emperor Dongming said weakly, "I've made my mother worry, but I'm fine."
Even the empress dowager's eyes were filled with disappointment, she thought the injury was serious, she took a deep breath and looked at Emperor Dongming, "Your Majesty, Prince Chen is your younger brother, don't you believe Prince Chen, besides, Prince Chen is about to die?" Now that you have left Beijing, why bother, Your Majesty, you have disappointed Aijia so much, when the late Emperor was alive, he hoped that brothers would be of the same mind."
"The king of Chen has been guarding the border for so many years. There is no credit but hard work. The emperor let the right minister capture the king. Didn't he let the first emperor die in peace? You actually handed over the power to an outsider. The right minister is a wolf with ambition. Don't you think so? Don’t you know, according to Ai’s family, this matter is that the right minister is willing to win the game, and the emperor was injured and gained power. Your majesty, you should immediately issue an order to release the king of Chen and take over the power of acting as an agent of the government!"
Emperor Dongming coughed anxiously, and the maid who was close to him hurried forward to stroke his back. After a while, Emperor Dongming calmed down and looked at Empress Dowager Lian in surprise.
"My queen, I believe that the right minister will not mess around. Besides, it is really difficult for me to manage political affairs. If the second brother is wronged, I will definitely not forgive the right minister lightly."
