Chapter 766 is it a big deal
In the early court, Yingtian Mansion Yin was the first to hand over a booklet, suing Liang Zhongshan for beating his wife for a beauty, causing injuries, and the family's evil servants beat the young mistress and the daughter of Lord Ye's mansion in public in Yuanhe Palace. Now Tong Mingli has died. Fortunately, Gu Hui was fine after returning to her natal home to recuperate, and now the matter has spread throughout the capital overnight.

The censors were not idle either, they also heard about this matter last night, it would be troublesome if they pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not make a statement on such a big matter, so they followed the Fu Yin to second the proposal, begging His Majesty to uphold justice .

The crown prince and all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also in an uproar. Liang Zhongshan and Tong Mingli just got married a few years ago, and now the husband beats his wife. They are both members of the Hanlin Academy. Liang Zhongshan is trying to put his in-laws face.

The sage accepted the Fu Yin's note with a gloomy expression, and told him to look into the matter carefully, and then write a detailed note. Who is right and who is wrong must be clearly judged. In the newlyweds, the husband beat his wife because of a beauty who is not in the public eye. The sage expressed his disbelief that Liang Zhongshan had the audacity to rely on favor and arrogance to disregard the law and put the beauty above his wife.

The Fu Yin received the order on the spot, and the officials among the hundred officials who were familiar with the Liang family began to wipe their sweat secretly, praying that this matter would eventually be characterized as a dispute between husband and wife, and that it should not be further involved, otherwise Liang Zhongshan might really be in danger. .

Just look at the sage and you will know that he has loved Concubine Zhao Xian for decades, and has never thought of changing the queen. On the issue of marriage, the sage has a bottom line that he has always adhered to, and he does not allow his courtiers to step on this line, not to mention that this is also the bottom line of morality How could a scholarly family do such a thing regardless of their dignity? Even a nouveau riche who changes women like clothes will not easily replace his wretched wife. For the sake of their children's marriage, the relationship between old couples and old wives is cold at most. After all, there are very few people who kill their wives and replace them with new ones.

It is unbelievable that Liang Zhongshan beat his wife for a beauty.

After the court, the sage went back to the imperial study and saw the eldest son and the prince chatting outside the door, so he asked them to go in together, and the three of them talked.

The purpose of King Yu's visit was to intercede for his brother-in-law Liang Zhongshan. His words were a little bit about Tong Mingli's jealousy with the beauties and the public exposure of her family's ugliness and her husband's injustice. His wife is gone, but he can't really divorce his wife. After Liang Zhongshan suffered a big loss this time, he will definitely have to marry down. This is unbearable for his pride and self-esteem, so King Yu still wants to express Liang Zhongshan's generosity I am willing to let go of the past and reconcile with Tong Mingli, hoping that this matter will be erased.

The prince felt that his elder brother's words sounded harsh, but after all, it was Tong Mingli's fault. It was clear that Liang Zhongshan loved the beauty first and beat his wife for the sake of the beauty. Such a serious mistake that could cause him to lose his official position is so lightly ignored. mentioned?Don't talk about the beating of the young mistress and Gu Hui in the Yuanhe Palace by the servants of the Liang family?It can be seen from this that if it were not for Tong Mingli's low status in the Liang family, how would the two servants dare to attack the young mistress in public?I'm afraid that I would dare to show cold face to the young mistress at home.

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help sneering in his heart, the in-laws are indeed a family wearing a pair of trousers, and Liang Zhongshan can only take care of him for such a big disaster. In their eyes, Tong Mingli is really not an onion. , Why bother to reach a marriage contract in the first place, let alone the big joke today.

The sage silently listened to the eldest son's statement, and did not express his opinion at all. He only said that he had heard everything, and asked the eldest son to go back to appease the family, and wait for the results of the governor's investigation.

Seeing what his father said, the prince immediately echoed his father's wisdom.

King Yu spent a lot of saliva, touched a soft nail, wanted to say a few more words, and saw that his father's face was already unhappy, so he had to agree with him together, and then left, lest he wanted to strangle the proud brother of the prince to death.

The prince watched his elder brother leave, and waited until the door of the study was closed again before turning his head to face the saint.

"Father..."

The prince just made a sound, but was stopped by the saint when he raised his hand.

"Shut up, too, and wait for the result of Fu Yin first."

"Yes, Father."

"Liang Zhongshan, a romantic and talented man, is famous for his love of beauties. He beat his wife for a beauty. There must be something wrong behind this matter. When you go to pay your respects to your mother later, in the name of condolences, ask her to send an edict to pass Tong Mingli into the palace. Show her, only when you see her injuries with your own eyes, can you know whether Liang Zhongshan beat someone impulsively or on purpose, and the injury will not lie."

"Yes, Father."

The crown prince received this oral order, and the father and son stopped talking about Tong Mingli. They first discussed state affairs step by step, and then there were constant courtiers asking to see him outside. Liang Dashi and Liang Zhongshan also came together, but the sage only listened to state affairs. If they don't listen to their housework, the father and son can only shut up obediently, cheer up and talk about business.

Governance of the country is so complicated that people's brains are dull after a morning's work. The prince resigned during his usual time and went to the harem to greet the queen and ask her to make a decree.

When the Queen heard about such a big event this morning, she was also shocked. Liang Zhongshan, as an excellent man who has been loved by women in the capital for several years, how could he be a bastard who raped his wife for the sake of beauty.

Such an unreasonable thing happened like this, the queen finally followed her son's suggestion, and at the same time, she also wanted to see for herself how injured Tong Mingli was, so she immediately ordered Tong Mingli and her mother to enter the palace the next morning.

The prince was thinking about the princess and wondered what kind of gossip she would hear in the East Palace this morning, so the queen did not keep her son for lunch and allowed him to go back and talk with husband and wife.

During lunch time, the prince’s family sat at the same table. After the meal was over, the maids and nurses took the children down for a lunch break. The prince and princess also took off their clothes and went to bed for a nap. At this time, there were not many people in the bedroom. When the two talked about Liang Zhongshan's beating of his wife, they found it inconceivable, especially when the servants of Liang's family dared to do something to the young mistress and the innocent daughter of another family, it was really daring.

"Gu Hui's grievances, Duke Ye's mansion must have something to say, do you want Madam Xuan Ye to come to the palace to chat?" The princess suggested.

"Madam Gu is not here. What can she say when she enters the palace? The two maids have already been imprisoned. The Liang family will pay more money at worst, and this matter will be over."

"Mrs. Gu is indeed not there, but Bai Kou is."

"Who exactly do you want to see?" The prince felt a little funny.

"I don't know if it's a woman's intuition. I always feel that this matter is strange. After all, the Liang family is not on our side, but Tong Mingli is a sister in Gu Yun's circle. Bai Kou has always spoken in an orderly manner, and she is at the scene again. I want to hear her opinion."

"But the dignified princess, there must be a reason for summoning the servant girl of the foreign minister's family, right?"

"Business."

"Hey?"

"Yes, business, I asked Bai Kou to come into the palace to do business. In the past few days, we women have compared the styles of many dressing tables, and I think our daughters are more discerning. The flip-top style is really good. It is placed in the room, and the direction of the table is random. I'm not afraid of being frightened by the bright mirror at night." The princess smiled triumphantly, "Discuss with the queen mother, maybe it's better for her to make the edict."

"Invite people in in the name of business, but what you're talking about isn't about business. You're making your own decisions. Be careful that your father won't be happy if he finds out. He wants to deal with this matter coldly. He just said that he will wait until the governor has a result. Do you want to talk about it?" It's not too late to summon Bai Kou anyway, so why don't you wait?"

"Well, that's fine, there's nothing wrong with waiting a few more days."

The princess thought it was reasonable, so she nodded, and after the couple agreed, they finally closed their eyes and slept peacefully.
