Condescending and Condescending

Chapter 127

The official from the Ministry of Rites immediately explained with 'kindness': "As early as a month ago, His Majesty conferred the title of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, as the King of Zhenguo Qin, and conferred the title of Lord Chen Cichen as the King of Fuguo Jin, and bestowed the two princes with facial expressions. Worship, enter the court and do not go, the sword is on the power of the palace, and the king of the state of Qin will give nine tins to grant the emperor's authority and will never be deposed."

In short, the current dialect Qin can exercise the power of the emperor, and the emperor cannot take back this power in the future.

That's why the imperial decree reads "Fengtian Chengyun Township King Qin's Edict".

But this obviously violates the rules of etiquette, no, this is simply stepping on the rules of etiquette in the mud.

But King Taki can't care about these things now, he only knows that this imperial decree was given to him by Fang Yanqin, and Fang Yanqin is going to kill him!

So King Taki burst into tears immediately, so that his nose and tears covered his face.

Seeing that he really couldn't hold him back, the official from the Ministry of Rituals simply ignored him and continued to read: "...Your former court king Zhao Mingyi, although he was the husband-in-law of a female emperor, has a vicious heart and is a concubine. It is a heinous crime to harm your wife and children this time, so from now on, I will revoke the name of the empress and husband-in-law, demote you to the rank of minor envoy, and grant you a residence in Zhaochun Palace.

what?

Hearing this, King Taki suddenly raised his head.

Fang Yanqin didn't kill him, but took him into the palace?

Thinking of this, King Taki's eyes lit up immediately.

Does this mean that although Fang Yanqin hates him, he still regards him as his biological father in his heart.

In other words, if he behaved well after entering the palace, he still had a chance to get their forgiveness.

So he still has a chance to stand up...

Seeing this scene, the official from the Ministry of Rites immediately laughed.

Because thinking about it, I know what King Taki is thinking.

So he said, "Master Zhao probably doesn't know what your current identity means?"

Takio: "What?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites said: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, the ranks of the harem were determined to be nine ranks and ten ranks. Less envoys."

Takio understood.

So his current so-called minor envoy status is actually the one with the lowest rank in the empress's harem.

But the most important thing is not this, but that the empress wants to open up the harem?

King Taki's eyes turned red in an instant, after all, he could put a horse on his head now.

"Pei Bomin, how dare she?"

"Even the Empress Qianchao dare not open the harem..."

"What about those Qingliu, those censor officials, are they all dead, why don't they speak up, why don't they speak up?"

The official from the Ministry of Rites laughed immediately: "Master Zhao, Dagan is dead!"

"As for those rumor officials, Your Majesty and the Empress have both written the "Record of Two Officials" and promulgated it to the world. Few of them dared to commit suicide to claim their full reputation. Do you think they still dare to talk about the emperor?"

"Besides, as a king, what's wrong with accepting the harem and spreading branches and leaves for the royal family?"

King Taki's eyes immediately became redder: "Can it be the same, Pei Bomin is a woman, what is the difference between her doing this and those prostitutes in Goulan brothel where thousands of people sleep on thousands of people?"

"shut up."

The face of the official from the Ministry of Rituals changed instantly: "Then you raised so many concubines before, what's the difference between you and those coquettish young men in Nanfeng Hall?"

What he hates the most is when someone talks about gender.

Because his father had died early and his stepmother had just turned sixteen, his family bullied them as orphans and widows, so they planned to rob his family's property, forcing his stepmother to flee back to her mother's house with him.

But even so, they still didn't intend to let them go.

Just because the local county magistrate has been in office for nine years, he obviously has not made any political achievements, but he wants to be promoted.

In order to climb up to the county magistrate and become the head of the county government, his patriarch gave the county magistrate an idea to use the chastity archway to piece together political achievements. After all, compared with the Jinshi archway and the meritorious archway, the chastity archway is the easiest to obtain.

Then they targeted some widows, including his stepmother.

So not long after, his stepmother, who was originally in love with his neighbor Liu Widower and had already agreed on a date of marriage, missed her late husband too much, and finally "hanged herself" to die for his late father who had been dead for almost ten years.

And until now, his stepmother's chastity archway is still standing at the entrance of the village in his hometown.

What's wrong with his stepmother, what's wrong with his daughter, they are also human beings, why should women be treated so harshly!

"You, presumptuous..."

King Taki was trembling with anger, because he didn't expect that he would dare to compare him to a lowly servant.

"It's you who are really presumptuous."

The official from the Ministry of Rituals said: "You thought you were the high and mighty Prince Taki, but now you are just a rank-ninth rank envoy."

Then he laughed again: "So I'm not just here today to deliver the decree, but also to send you into the palace as a young envoy, to thank His Majesty, and to meet the other princes in the palace by the way."

"what?"

King Taki was about to burst into tears.

Meet the other princes in the palace?

Isn't it just for him to serve tea to Pei Bomin's adulterers... Serving tea...

King Taki's eyes darkened.

He finally knew what Pei Bomin's mother and son were planning.

They were taking revenge on him, taking revenge on him for bringing a group of concubines home and forcing Pei Bomin to accept their existence and drink their tea.

They were trying to step on his face in the shit hole!

It would be better to kill him directly!

So he immediately resisted: "I won't go, I won't go..."

The official from the Ministry of Rites sneered directly, "You have to go if you don't."

After finishing speaking, he motioned directly to the left and right: "Take it away."

The two guards behind him immediately stepped forward to set up King Taki and dragged him out of the cell.

But he didn't go back immediately, but went directly to another cell.

And it wasn't the Song family who was locked up in that cell.

"Emperor Dowager ordered, where is Song Lu!"

The Song family present panicked immediately, and they quickly carried out the dying Song Lu with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Seeing Song Lu like this, the official of the Ministry of Rites was not surprised.

After all, because the Song family resented Song Lu and Zhao Yan for their collusion, the Song family was now implicated, so the news that Song Lu was beaten to death as soon as he was imprisoned had already spread throughout the court.

——But the Song family obviously forgot that when they learned that Zhao Yan had quelled the civil uprising and barbarians in the Southwest in one fell swoop and became an upstart in the court, they were the ones who couldn't wait to give Miss Song to Zhao Yan as a concubine.

So the official of the Ministry of Rituals just preached: "Emperor Dowager's oral order: In terms of the relationship between husband and wife, I can spare your life, but the death penalty is inevitable, and the crime of living is inevitable. Don't you like the name Yanan? Then you can change your name to Ya Nv in the future, and send someone first-class Ya, the girl's daughter."

Hearing this, as expected, Song Lu Mingming couldn't even sit up, but there was still humiliation and anger in his eyes.

Rather than living with such a shameful name on his back, he might as well die.

Seeing this scene, the official from the Ministry of Rites smiled coldly.

Now that I know the humiliation, weren't you very happy when you persuaded King Yong Taki to name the emperor's grandson Ye Yanan?

And it's not over yet.

He directly turned his head to look at those Song family members: "The empress dowager also said that the reason why Song Ya'er is so vicious and vicious is because of your Song family's lax discipline, so she will return Song Ya'er to you now, I hope you will discipline him well in the future, and anyway, Song Yanu was once her husband, even though she has divorced him now, she also hopes that Song Yanu can keep her chastity, do you understand?"

Keep the festival?

He, a man, actually went to observe a festival for a woman!

Song Lu was furious, but all he could do was slap the ground feebly.

Or the Song family discovered the crux of the problem: "Emperor Dowager?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites only said: "That's right, you have been staying in the prison all the time, how could you know about this? Just now, King Qin of Zhenguo personally decreed that the eldest princess was made the empress dowager, and the little princess To be the grandson of the emperor, and to name the grandson of the emperor Pei Yanjun, the imperial decree should have reached the hands of the empress dowager and the grandson of the emperor."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Song Lu and the Song family with pity, and led them away with a smile.

Crown Princess?

The grandson of the emperor?

The Song family members slumped on the ground.

They should have been the daughters-in-law and granddaughters of the Song family.

If they can get on this big boat, why worry about the Song family's unhappiness and why they can't climb to a high position.

But it's too late to say anything now!

Because all of this has been ruined by Song Lu.

Thinking of this, the Song family looked at Song Lu with even more resentment.

As for Song Lu, he was even more desperate!

Although she had long expected that she might be named the Empress Dowager, Pei Ningmeng's heart couldn't help but beat violently at the moment when she received the imperial edict.

But she did not reject the decree.

Because although she is a woman, she doesn't have any ambitions. She didn't have the right to choose before, but now the opportunity is in front of her, so she won't give up.

And she didn't want to disappoint Fang Yanqin's good intentions.

——She also discovered it later. It turned out that Fang Yanqin had already started training her when she was in Shandong, because the old gentlemen and old ladies whom Fang Yanqin hired to chat with her and explain the important affairs of the court to her would soon be gone. They will all serve as officials of the Eastern Palace.

So she just hugged Fang Yanqin and said, "My sister will definitely live up to your expectations."

Fang Yanqin smiled and hugged Pei Ningmeng back: "Yes."

——The reason why it was his will was purely because Pei Bomin unilaterally felt that the throne should belong to him, and naturally he should arrange these funeral affairs.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from outside the house.

Not long after, Pei Bomin and Mrs. Pei walked in.

Seeing Fang Yanqin and Pei Ningmeng, Pei Bomin immediately said: "Ningmeng, Yanqin, you don't know how ugly Zhao Mingyi's face was when he was pressed to serve tea to those men just now."

"Thanks to my sister-in-law for this good idea."

Pei Bomin's eyebrows were beaming, and he let out a long breath of anger.

When Mrs. Pei proposed to stuff a few people into her harem, she refused.

Because at least for a while, she still couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

It's just useless for her to refuse, because the next day Mrs. Pei and Pei Ningmeng selected seven or eight men, and let Fang Yanqin confer positions and stuff them into the harem. The youngest of them was actually one year younger than Fang Yanqin.

Pei Bomin was almost pissed off by these two unfilial sons.

But now that the person who was almost pissed off became King Taki, she immediately felt at ease.

But hearing this, Mrs. Pei just smiled and said nothing.

Although she was indeed jealous and resentful towards Pei Bomin for a while because of Pei's father and Pei's brothers who devoted all their attention to subsidizing Pei Bomin, so she had a lot of unhappiness with Pei Bomin.

——Although it did not harm her interests.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she is thick-skinned, the family will have no overnight feud.

No, Pei Bomin is now talking about a sister-in-law, and it is very kind to call her.

Pei Ningmeng looked at them and didn't speak. She was not interested in sister-in-law Pei's twists and turns, as long as Pei Bomin was happy, that was enough.

But then she remembered another thing: "By the way, there is also Zhao Yan, how should I deal with it?"

Only then did Fang Yanqin and the others realize that they had forgotten Zhao Yan, one of the culprits.

Fang Yanqin thought for a while, and said with a smile: "He obviously relied on Yue's family to make his fortune, but in the end he was ashamed of being a son-in-law, so let him be the son-in-law for the rest of his life."

Pei Ningmeng also smiled: "This is good."

Then she paused: "Then give Ms. Cai another husband!"

"By the way, why don't you mute Zhao Yan first?"

She was a little worried that she would let the tiger go back to the mountain.

"No need."

Fang Yanqin said.

There is nothing to guard against this kind of waste snack.

Moreover, the Cai family has stumbled once on Zhao Yan, so would they be so stupid as to stumble a second time?

So that afternoon——

"The imperial decree has arrived, and the Cai family will accept it!"

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: The Cai family in the south of the Yangtze River was originally a businessman, but because of lax discipline and supervision, the son-in-law caused him to act recklessly, disrupted the etiquette and law, and disrupted the government. He confiscated half of the Cai family's property and ordered you to wait. Bring Zhao Yan back and discipline him well, if he commits the crime again, he will definitely not let you wait..."

The Cai family who received the imperial decree was stunned, and then wept with joy.

They originally thought that they were Zhao Yan's Yue family, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, they would definitely be labeled as Zhao Yan's accomplices, but what they never expected was that the new emperor had only appointed a son-in-law for them. If they are not charged with serious crimes, all their property embezzled by Zhao Yan will be returned to them.

So they immediately had tears in their eyes, bowed their heads and worshiped: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Cao Min, when we go back, we will definitely discipline Zhao Yan."

After finishing speaking, they gave Zhao Yan, who was tied up next to him, a hard look.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan was probably out of breath, and Zhao Yan passed out immediately.
