"Eunuch Li, this old master has not welcomed you from afar. Please forgive me!”
Although Xiao Yu spoke very politely, he did not smile.
Who among the noble scholar-bureaucrats would look up to eunuchs, let alone the upright Xiao Yu?
"No, no! State Duke Song did not mind this old servant disturbing your residence, so it was fortunate!”
Li Dequan knew what kind of person Xiao Yu was, so he didn't get angry. Instead, he greeted her with a smile.
Although he was not the prime minister now, he still had the title of the second rank Crown Prince's tutor.
Besides, he had already risen and fallen three times. Who knew when the Emperor would be happy and let him be the prime minister for the fourth time?
In officialdom, one should not bully the young. Who knew if one day they would ride the wind and soar to the top! Who knew if he would be able to improve further!
Everything was unknown!
"Eunuch Li has come to bring light to my humble house. How can I disturb you? This old man was just about to enter the palace to meet the emperor when Eunuch Li arrived.”
Xiao Yu ignored Li Dequan and went to the main seat in the living room without inviting Li Dequan to sit.
However, he did have the capital to do so. Xiao Yu's wife was Empress Dugu's niece, while Li Yuan was Empress Dugu's nephew. Li Yuan and Xiao Yu's wife were cousins.
In terms of seniority, Second Emperor Li still had to address him as uncle!
"Oh, may I know what's the matter, High Duke?”
Li Dequan felt a little embarrassed, but he still followed Xiao Yu's words.
"It's all because of that lawless Cheng Chubi. He kidnapped a girl on the street and injured my two unfilial sons. Not only did he snatch the silver fish bag given by His Majesty, but he also forced them to sign an IOU! This old man is about to enter the palace to report Cheng Chu Bi to His Majesty!”
Xiao Yu was so angry that his spit flew everywhere and landed on Li Dequan's face.
"Humph! It's clearly you who allowed your son to commit such a crime. You have no respect for the law and have humiliated the Princess of Changle. How dare you slander me?”
Li Dequan pulled his face away, his face cold and silent. However, the general beside him, who was tall and sturdy, and was wearing the Radiant Battlesuit, flew into a rage. He opened his mouth and attacked.
"May I know who this is?"
Xiao Yu's face darkened, and he only spoke after a long time.
"Duke Su's Right Military Guard General Cheng is my father! My family does not change their name, sit without changing their surname, son-in-law Duwei, Zuo Wei pro-Fu Lang Cheng Chuliang is!”
The general snorted coldly, placed his hands on his elbows, and stood proudly.
"General Cheng Zhong, you may leave! Someone, pass the decree over! Duke of Song, Xiao Yu, accept the decree!"
Li Dequan was secretly delighted. He coughed a few times and took the bright yellow silk from the young eunuch beside him.
"This old minister is here!"
Xiao Yu was just about to flare up when he was frightened by this sudden imperial edict. He hurriedly got up from his seat and fell to the ground with a thud. The other people present also knelt on the ground.
"The sect is the foundation of the world! I have received the order of Haotian in the spring. I am Xiao Yu, the prince of the Duke of Song. He indulged his nephew, indulged his arrogance and rudeness. He was so rude that he insulted the princess. He had no moral integrity and committed the crime of great disrespect!”
What the hell!
The girl who was disguised as a man was actually the Princess of Changle!
When the Xiao brothers heard this, their faces turned ashen, and they fell to the ground in fear.
"However, Princess Changle is magnanimous and virtuous. She doesn't think about herself and is loyal and filial.”
"I am grateful for the princess's righteousness and remember the etiquette between monarch and minister. After thinking about it again and again, I decided to reduce the punishment and sentence you to a year's salary. Your nephew, Xiao Yi, will be beaten forty times with a stick and demoted to his original position! Your son Xiao Wei was beaten forty times with a stick! I hope you will discipline him strictly in the future. Don't indulge your son to commit violence and cause trouble again. I respect this!”
Actually, not all imperial edicts in ancient China began with the words " By the heavens, the emperor, the imperial edict says "!
The "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict" began with Zhu Yuanzhang, because after he became emperor, the highest and most glorious hall was called "Fengtian Hall"!
Later, although Zhu Di moved the capital to the capital, he still followed Zhu Yuanzhang's template, so much so that the later Manchu Dynasty also copied this sentence.
During the Tang Dynasty, most imperial edicts began with the word "under the door" because imperial edicts were usually issued by the province under the door at that time.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Xiao Yu was confused and confused. After thanking the emperor for the imperial edict, he quickly asked.
"Eunuch Li, is there a misunderstanding?”
"Misunderstanding? High Duke, it's better to ask the two young masters later!”
Li Dequan looked like he was doing his job. He didn't say much and just waved his hand and left. He saw the expressions of the Xiao brothers.
A favored eldest princess was much more important than a duke!
"The imperial edict has been read out. General Cheng Zhong, you can come up and carry out the execution!”
"Men, arrest these two criminals who offended the princess and execute them!”
Cheng Chuliang sneered and waved his hand. The warriors of the left came up to pull him back!
Damn it, my official position was fought for by my younger brother. See if I don't spank your butt until it blossoms!
......
Huaide Square, Suguo Public House.
"Bi 'er, today, Sister Yuying (Lu Furen) praised you a lot! He said that when the Duke of Wei brought you to the Ministry of Revenue to receive your reward, you didn't take 30,000 strings, but only 20,000 strings. You've really made me proud!"
Madam Cui smiled like a flower and got off the carriage with Cheng Chu Bi's help.
"Didn't my son see that the Huai River was flooded and the national treasury was empty, so he donated ten thousand strings!”
Cheng Chu Bi pouted and complained before answering in a low voice.
Motherf * cker, if it wasn't for Fang Xuanling crying and kneeling on the ground and shouting that he was poor, he wouldn't have missed this ten thousand strings of Guan if he wasn't Fang Jun's father and it wasn't easy to be a virtuous minister.
At least he was an old brat. He was righteous and knew how to praise Yours Truly!
"What a strong smell of alcohol. Could it be that your father, that old fellow, drank again? It shouldn't be. He should still be on duty at this hour!”
Madam Cui frowned and pinched her nose with her slender fingers in disgust as she walked into the hall.
"Young Master, Young Master, the wine is ready, the wine is ready!”
The maid Jian Jia jumped out from the corner of the courtyard.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720194:41PM
