Mr. Wang still objected, Chu Xinyuan said indifferently: "Mr. Wang, 30 years ago, your eldest daughter fell into the water while outing. At that time, there was a capable maidservant beside her, who quickly rescued her. But after returning home , but you forced her to commit suicide on the grounds that someone must have seen her, that she had lost her reputation and ruined your family tradition. I was severely rejected by you!"

When Mr. Wang heard about this, he was very proud. He poked his neck and said: "A woman who loses her virginity should not live in this world. This old man's upright family style cannot be tarnished!"

Chu Xinyuan continued: "Later, your old mother saw that you were so stubborn, and knelt down in front of you to beg you, but you didn't agree!"

Mr. Wang's old face flushed a little, and he said: "Everything should be ruled first, how can you change your original intention because of someone's pleading?"

"So you insisted on forcing the eldest daughter to death, and your old mother pointed at you and scolded you as a rebellious son. That night, the three-foot white silk went with your eldest daughter!" Chu Xinyuan said lightly: "Your so-called rules, so-called maintenance Etiquette is just for your own reputation and face. You forced the eldest daughter to death, and you forced the old mother to death, do you think you have a lot of face?"

Although Chu Xinyuan's tone was indifferent, his words were like sharp knives.

Mr. Wang's eyes widened. He had already strictly ordered his family not to tell about this matter. The world only knew that his eldest daughter fell into the water. She might have been seen and her reputation would be lost, so she was ashamed. The old mother cherished her granddaughter. , Died in grief.Because of this incident, his family's female relatives gained the reputation of being chaste, which was praised by everyone, and he always took it as a matter of pride.

How did the King of Liang know about this?
Looking at Man Chao's strange eyes, and those shocked and contemptuous eyes, Mr. Wang wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. He just muttered: "Wow, there is no such thing, no, no such thing..."

"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing yourself!" Chu Xinyuan said: "Master Wang, you have been proud of this since then, and you have maintained what you think of as the so-called ethics. Dongxia governs the country with filial piety, and women keep their chastity and protect their names." , a man is virtuous and self-cultivating, but no matter who he is, he cannot escape the word filial piety. And you, the person who forced his mother to death, what kind of virtue do you have? The court continues to speak nonsense, who gave you the courage? Who gave you the face?"

Mr. Wang was angry and impatient and had nothing to say. He knew that if this matter was covered up well and no one knew about it, then it would be fine. If it got out, everything he valued would be wiped away.

He only felt that his eyes were darkened, and he couldn't say a word anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Chu Xinyuan didn't even look at him, but looked coldly at the surroundings, especially those courtiers who were still kneeling, and said indifferently: "My lords, do you want me to tell you all about you?"

These people are stunned for a while, who has nothing to do in the back house, and who can truly be honest?And those things, if they are not known, that's all. If they are made public, then they will have no face to walk in front of others.

Someone stood up quietly.

When one man acts, immediately there are more.

Even if he thinks that he stands upright, Lord Wang is such a person. If he speaks first, if he agrees with the same, then in the eyes of others, they are also such a person. This is the real stain on him. Woolen cloth!

Bah, this Lord Wang, who forced his daughter to death and his old mother to death for the sake of his so-called reputation, is ashamed to advertise himself as an upright, upright, honest and straightforward person, bad luck!
However, there was still a censor who hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness Liang, it's not that I want to argue with you. Since His Royal Highness Liang thinks that Mu's daughter is also wronged, although it is not her fault that her reputation is damaged, why do you want to fight?" Want to abandon her?"

Chu Xinyuan: "..."

He's the one who got divorced.

But at this time, he couldn't say that, especially when Pei Shizhen's burning eyes were fixed on him.

He said slowly: "The reason why this king gave up was not because he didn't like it, but because he felt that Miss Mu was innocent, but she had to marry this king because of a misunderstanding. She should have had more choices. This should not be the reason for this. This king respects her and is willing to let her go free. This king also hopes that after she is free, she can face up to her own heart. If she is willing to return to Prince Liang's mansion, this king will definitely be red-faced. Get married grandly, instead of hastily wronging her like before!"

Hearing this, Chu Jingxian gave him a contemptuous look.

It sounds so nice, why did she get left out after marrying her back?An orphanage, not even given food?

What's the use of talking like flowers at this time?

He didn't know the inside story of the divorce letter back then, but he also knew that it was Qing Yu who took the initiative.What can I say to redeem at this time?
But as soon as his beautiful words came out, Pei Shizhen nodded his head, obviously speaking to his heart.How insidious!

What Chu Xinyuan said at this time was the truth, but he was also very helpless. When a woman leaves a man with a letter of divorce, does that man still have a chance?

He didn't want to give up, but he had done so many things before, even if he didn't give up, would Qingyu forgive him?

The censor was silent, and said: "Since your highness said so, the minister understands!"

Looking at the two sons who were Mu Qingyu's predecessors, the emperor frowned, his mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, he really wanted to make her daughter the princess, and let her enjoy a first-class salary, as honorable as a princess.Because in his heart, that clean, pure and beautiful thing is the softest place in his heart. No woman in his harem can give it to him. In his heart, she is more important than the queen. Then her daughter, enjoy Why not be treated like a princess?

However, the maintenance of his two worthless sons made him unhappy again.

He brought this topic over: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to discuss it!"

Pei Shichen said: "I will give thanks on behalf of my niece!"

The emperor thought of the entire Yunjian City, and the troubles just now dissipated. He smiled and said: "Peihou, you haven't returned to your hometown for more than ten years. You must miss your relatives very much. I will allow you to rest for three days before going to court. In addition, Stay in the capital for a few more days before going to Yunjian City to take up the post!"

Pei Shixuan said: "Your Majesty, this time I brought 500 million taels of silver, 5 taels of gold, and millions of pieces of silk, satin, and silk. These can be regarded as the tribute tax of Yunjian City for ten years! These are all on the way. Divide into three batches to go to Beijing, and you will be able to arrive in the capital within half a month, and please ask the emperor to send someone to hand over at that time!"

Just now, people who thought that the emperor made Mu's daughter a princess, and those who enjoyed a first-rank salary too much, now obediently shut their mouths.

500 million taels of silver, 5 taels of gold, and millions of bolts of silk and satin. What is the concept?
The treasury of Dongxia collects 5000 million taels a year, which is one of the four countries, and the area of ​​Yunjian City is only as big as a county in Dongxia.

But for a county in Dongxia, the tax revenue for ten years is at most 300 million taels of silver.

But Pei Shichen brought not only 500 million taels of silver, but also 5 taels of gold and so many silks and satins, but he didn't say it was a tribute, but a ten-year tax.This means that Yunjian City is not a subsidiary of Dongxia, but a part of Dongxia.

Ming Shuo took a deep look at Pei Shizhen, why did Pei Shizhen say this after the emperor rewarded Mu Qingyu as princess and enjoyed a first-rank salary?It seems that if Pei Shizhen is not satisfied with the emperor's reward, he may not dedicate all the property that came in three batches to the emperor.

A person who can become the lord of a city, even if he takes the initiative to show weakness, how can he be helpless?

Mu Mingyuan was speechless now, with so much gold and silver belongings, did Pei Shizhen evacuate Yunjian City?

The emperor was also very happy that Yunjian City could be included in Dongxia. Even if the taxes would only start to be paid next year, he would be satisfied, but Pei Shizhen made up for the previous ten years with full sincerity.

Pei Qing is indeed a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. One must know that with so much gold and silver, one can raise an elite army to defend the city.With the prestige of Hidden Dragon City back then, who would dare to set their minds on Yunjian City?It can be seen from this that the loyalty of the Pei family is engraved in the bones.

When he was happy, he simply said: "Pei Aiqing said just now that you have been single for many years, that means you have not yet married? How about I give you a marriage?"

As he said that, he looked at the courtiers in the palace, and his meaning was very clear, to see if anyone had an unmarried daughter.

As early as when Pei Shizhen was made a first-class marquis, and he was able to take out so much gold and silver as taxes, the minds of the ministers became active. This is the upstart in the court. Let the family get a lot of benefits.

Immediately, someone said: "Your Majesty, this minister's daughter is sixteen this year, she is in the Mood for Love, and Lord Pei is in his prime, so he is a perfect match!"

"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of my minister's line is seventeen years old, and she is not yet married. She looks beautiful. If Marquis Pei is interested, I will be honored!"

"Your Majesty, although my sister is twenty, she has a gentle and gentle temperament, suitable for an IKEA home!"

"emperor……"

……

For a while, several people jumped out and wanted to marry their daughters, sisters, nephews or nieces, it was very lively.

Even Cheng Guogong said opportunistically: "Your majesty, the seventeenth minister, married to Marquis Pei, is a good match!"

As soon as he said this, those who had been fighting for the fight before suddenly started to talk awkwardly. When it comes to their status, how can their status be compared with Cheng Guogong?Even a third-class Duke is still a Duke!
The Luo family stood at the back, and now, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. Back then, Shuang'er refused to marry another, but for the sake of the Luo family, she became a nun. Now it has been more than ten years, and her ties to the world have been broken long ago, but the children of the Pei family, is back.

In the end is no chance!
Luo's father has only been promoted to one level in recent years, and now he is the fourth-rank servant Shaoqing. He is in charge of chariots and guards of honor, so he is really free.However, when Mu Mingyuan was still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it was extremely rare for him to be promoted to this level.

Don't say that the officials who rushed out to show their favor are higher than him, even if they are not, he has nothing to say.

The emperor smiled and said: "Pei Aiqing, what do you think?"

Pei Shixuan said: "I am not familiar with everything in the capital, and the marriage is not in a hurry. If I want to marry a wife, I will definitely ask the emperor to give me a marriage!"

Those who rushed to sell their daughters and nieces were not disappointed. After all, Pei Shizhen didn't even know who they were, so how could he decide his marriage just because of a few words from their mouths.You know, that is a serious first-class Mrs. Hou.

But Pei Shizhen didn't agree to anyone, which meant that there was still a chance.

The emperor gave a few more words of encouragement, looked at Chu Chaoyang, and said with a smile: "It's the first time for the Ninth Prince to go on an errand, it's very appropriate, I'm very relieved, the old nine has grown up, and he can share my worries in the future!"

Chu Chaoyang bowed and said, "I am willing to share my father's worries!"

The emperor laughed happily: "Okay, my emperor's sons are all excellent, and I will treat you like my brothers in the future. As long as you work hard, I will reward you all!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"Retreat!"

The satisfied emperor was already extremely tired at this time, if he was not happy, he might not be able to hold on and would fall asleep.

Eunuch Liu hurriedly helped the emperor to leave.

As the courtiers walked out, acquaintances were talking.

On Pei Shizhen's side, several people squeezed over to say hello.

The few princes are much deserted here.

However, when Chu Chaoyang left, Chu Yuncheng moved closer, lowered his voice, and said yin and yang, "Ninth Emperor Brother, congratulations, it's the first time you've done a job, and you've done it so beautifully, and your future is boundless!"

Chu Chaoyang said: "Thank you, Brother Sihuang, I will definitely be able to do business well in the future, and learn from Brother Sihuang!"

Chu Yuncheng chuckled, turned and left.

Chu Chaoyang glanced at Chu Xinyuan and then at Chu Jingxian. It was the first time he went to court today, and many things were unclear, but he had eyes, and he could see the undercurrent between the two. Both of them seemed to lose their composure because of Pei Shizhen's niece, and they didn't know what was so strange about that woman.

But we will see you later.

When Pei Shizhen left the palace, he immediately went back to the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion. His people had already gone there first.

He was eager to return home, wishing to ride the horse like flying, but this was a street and a busy city, so he couldn't let him ride the horse, so he had to be patient, tighten the rope, and speed up his pace when no one told him to.

At this time, the front of the mighty Marquis Mansion was very lively.

Pei Shizhen probably would not have thought that his people couldn't even enter the gate of the mansion.

Without him, although these dozens of people are his personal soldiers, the Weiwuhou Mansion is not the previous Weiwuhou Mansion where any cat or dog can come in and out at will. Since Mu Qingyu was assassinated in Pei Ji, and then there is another branch of the Pei family After forcibly entering the mansion in the name of a relative and almost harming Pei Ji, he put the safety of the Mighty Marquis Mansion first.

With today's mighty Marquis gate, suspicious people can't easily enter the gate.

These people said that they were Pei Shichun's personal followers, which is too suspicious.

Without him, how long has there been no news from Pei Shizhen?A bunch of followers suddenly appeared?Walking to the door in person, without a token, just with a mouth?There are still a dozen or so people, if these dozen or so people harbor evil intentions and malice, who will be responsible?

Therefore, the head of the guard who was in charge of the security of the front yard blocked people from the door and sent someone to report to Pei Ji.

Pei Ji didn't believe it either.

If his son was not in danger of his life, why didn't he even send a letter back?
Today, under Qing Yu's efforts, the mighty Marquis Mansion is already rich and happy. Many people want to win over, but they just fancy the financial resources of the mighty Marquis Mansion.

Or, what kind of queen of the former dynasty, who tried every means to enter the Hou's mansion.It's just that they were all seen through one by one.

Is this a new method?
