Chapter 13 The Wonderful Self-Defense

Qu Chu was impeached by the censor and officials.

The reason is to gather crowds to visit brothels.

The emperor threw more than a dozen memorials on Ning Youbei, "Look, so many memorials are for the impeachment of Qu Chu, why can't she settle down? Do you want to be criticized for these things?"

Ning Youbei picked up one of the memorials, flipped through it casually, and then threw it aside.

"These officials stopped working and stared at these shit. General Qu is a woman, what can a woman do in a brothel?"

The emperor stared at Ning Youbei, and said angrily, "Don't obscure the point. They impeached a crowd, and General Qu is the leader."

Ning Youbei still didn't take it seriously.

"To be honest, these generals have been fighting at the border all year round. Most of them are not married. After finally coming to Yudu, what is it to sleep with a woman in a brothel? It is worth these officials to make such a big fuss."

The emperor turned around a few times.

He likes to spin in circles when he gets irritable.

"You will take these memorials to Qu Chu and ask her to write a self-defense."

Ning Youbei lazily agreed.

……

General's House
As soon as Qu Chu came back from the city defense army barracks, she heard the soldiers guarding the gate tell her: The king of Chu has been here for a while.

What is he going to do?
Qu Chu strode towards the study.

At this time, Ning Youbei was looking curiously at a sea dongqing on the windowsill.

This is a white-headed crinoid, with a hint of hostility in its gray eyes, staring at Ning Youbei motionlessly.

Out of [-] condors, there is only one sea dongqing.It is also very difficult to make a bird of prey like Costin "obedient", and it has to go through the process of "squatting the eagle", "boiling the eagle" and "training the eagle".

Haidongqing's predation is like lightning. Ordinary people train Haidongqing to help hunt, and they don't know what Qu Chu uses it for?
……

Qu Chu saw this scene as soon as he entered the study.

She stepped forward and touched Hai Dongqing's head, "Good boy, let's go play."

Hai Dongqing yelled "Chirp" and "Tweet" at her twice, and then flew out.

Its speed is like lightning.

Ning Youbei said enviously:
"Ah Chu, your crinoid flies faster than other crinoids, and seems to understand human speech better than other crinoids. How did you do it?"

Qu Chu didn't answer this question, but asked, "What is the prince doing?"

Seeing that Qu Chu didn't answer his question, Ning Youbei was not embarrassed.He pointed to the memorial that was thrown on Qu Chu's desk and said, "Brother Huang asked you to write a self-defense."

Qu Chu read these memorials one by one, seeing that they were impeaching her for gathering a crowd to visit the brothel, so he said to Ning Youbei: "Please wait a moment, my lord, I will write my defense now."

Ning Youbei didn't expect Qu Chu to be so eloquent, so he asked curiously, "How are you going to write it?"

Qu Chu didn't answer, and started to study ink.

When Qu Chu started to write, Ning Youbei came to her side to read what she wrote.After reading it, Ning Youbei clapped his hands again and again: "Ah Chu's writing is wonderful! I will read it for you tomorrow at the court meeting."

"Then thank you, my lord!"

Ning Youbei smiled at Qu Chu, "Ah Chu and I don't want to be so polite, you will soon become my princess, we are our own people."

Qu Chu's eyes were shaken again by Ning Youbei's gleaming smile, and she slightly looked away.

……

The next day's meeting
After the court meeting began, another official stood up to impeach Qu Chu for the reason of gathering people to visit brothels.

After the official finished speaking, Ning Youbei came out and said, "Brother Huang: General Qu wrote a self-defense statement, and asked me to read it out for her in class."

The emperor didn't know what Qu Chu's self-defense was, but he knew that his younger brother would not do anything against him.

"allow".

Ning Youbei took out a memorial from his sleeve and read it:
"I have been at the border for 11 years, and most of the officers and men around me have not married wives. Ask the reason: I don't know when the body will be shrouded in horse leather, so it's better not to drag others down.

This time, I was ordered by the emperor to go back to Yudu. Before leaving, I promised my generals: When I arrived in Yudu, I would invite them to drink and have fun in the biggest brothel in Yudu. I did it and did not break my promise.

But I heard that someone impeached us for gathering a crowd to visit the brothel. I just want to ask: Those officials who are impeached, are you willing to give your wives and concubines to the soldiers?Would you like to give your sons and daughters to the soldiers?
If you can't, shut up! "

When Ning Youbei read this memorial, he intentionally imitated Qu Chu's tone, which was a bit cold, ruthless and domineering.

After he finished reading, the audience was silent!
Especially the officials who impeached Qu Chu just now, their faces are green and red, and they look really good-looking!
It is not impossible to refute Qu Chu's memorial. No matter what he said, Qu Chu violated the rule that officials cannot visit brothels.

However, no matter how you refute it, you will get a bad reputation and associate your wives, concubines and children with the brothel.

The emperor secretly let out a long breath of relief.What annoyed him was not that Qu Chu took the generals to visit the brothel, but because of the trouble this incident caused.

In the past few days, the officials who impeached Qu Chu have been making a fuss every day. Now that it's all over, let's see who dares to make a fuss about this matter again.

The emperor deliberately pointed to an official who had had the most trouble recently and asked: "Master XX, what do you think of General Qu's self-defense?"

The XX official's face was very ugly: "General Qu is using strong words and ignoring the rules."

Ning Youbei interjected from the side:
"Master XX, I heard that you just took in the fifth concubine not long ago. I think you are not too young. It is useless to have so many concubines. Why don't you send two to the generals?"

"you you……"

The XX official was trembling with anger, pointed at Ning Youbei and was speechless.

The emperor accepted it as soon as he saw it.

He coughed twice:

"I am ashamed to hear General Qu's self-defense, and I feel very sorry for the soldiers at the border.

Although the incident happened for a reason and was pitiful, in any case, General Qu always violated the rules of officials.Therefore I fined her three months' salary. "

This is really thunder and rain!

A salary of three months is nothing to any official in the court, let alone a general who leads troops to fight?

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Ning Youbei shouted "Emperor brother Shengming".

Afterwards, some officials from the emperor's faction followed suit and shouted "The emperor is holy", while other officials wanted to object but were afraid of talking about their wives, concubines and children, so they all endured it with a look of constipation.

This is the end of Qu Chu's gathering of people to visit the brothel.

However, the emperor is not over yet.

"Think about us singing and dancing every night in the capital of Yu, but the soldiers at the border pass live in the open air and know how to keep warm. Therefore, I decided to cancel this year's draft and transfer the saved expenses to the border to express my apology and gratitude to the soldiers at the border. respect."

Apart from the official impeachment of Qu Chu, the emperor's recent troubles are also related to the draft.

It's not that the emperor hates the draft itself, but that the draft is all in the hands of the queen, noble concubine, and concubine De.
