From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 350
Besides, besieging the Hou's mansion by soldiers is not a trivial matter, it is against the law and must be punished.He believed that Mei Xin would not be so ignorant, no matter how stupid she was, she would not be so arrogant.

Although the emperor had already developed suspicion towards Prince Liang's residence, due to Mei Linlang's return to favor and Mei Zhannan's serious injury, the suspicion in his heart has dissipated a lot recently.In addition, he had met Mei Xin, she was not an arrogant person, he instinctively thought it was impossible.

Hearing the surprise and disbelief in the emperor's tone, Yu Hou frowned slightly, but the arrow had been wound and had to be fired, he said hoarsely: "Yes, it is her!"

Mei Xin was too aggressive and bullying, she didn't take him as the marquis seriously at all, he would not let her go, let alone forget what happened yesterday.

Feeling strange, it sounds unbelievable, the emperor sat in the dragon chair, thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "I remember that Prince Liang's mansion is far away from your Marquis' mansion, and she led troops to surround your mansion for no reason. do what?"

Yu Hou didn't dare to hide it, and immediately reported the truth: "If you go back to the emperor, the unfilial son of this humble minister married the eldest daughter of the second room of the Mei family, the daughter of Lord Mei from the Ministry of Rites, and the cousin of the eldest princess. Fa suddenly alarmed the eldest princess. When the minister arrived home, the eldest princess had already led troops to surround the minister's mansion. I knew that the eldest princess was young, and she acted impulsively and uprightly. I was afraid that there might be some misunderstandings and hurried to see the eldest princess. Then I saw my blood-stained son hanging from a tree."

"Your Majesty, the minister's family has a fierce wife and treats her son as her life. She saw her son being hanged and whipped by the eldest princess, and she didn't dare to do anything to the eldest princess, so she bit the humble minister into such a state. Chen is a scholar who is not hers at all." Opponents, ministers... ministers... ministers are really ashamed to meet the emperor."

The whining sound was full of tears, Yu Hou cried just right, there was no snot running down the nose and it sounded sad and sympathetic.

Since the marriage was not granted by imperial decree, the emperor had no impression of this marriage.Besides, she was the daughter of the second room of the Mei family, so he didn't pay much attention to it.The main reason is that Mei Jingxuan is too useless, and he was reprimanded by the court not long ago, and he really doesn't like it very much.

Speaking of Marquis Yu's wife, the emperor saw her once at the palace banquet. She doesn't look very good, and she is older than her actual age due to years of hard work.It's the first time I've heard of the name of a shrewd wife, but it's indeed quite vulgar, and the words are a bit out of my head.

At this time, Lu Guoliang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out, stood still behind Yu Hou, and saluted: "My Majesty, although Mei Xin, the eldest princess of Zhenguo, is young, upright, and kind, she is not a person who acts impulsively. Whip Yu Hou Zhizi thinks there is some internal reason for this, please ask the emperor to find out and make a decision for Yuhou."

As Mei Jinze's uncle, Lu Guoliang already regarded Mei Xin as his own niece.Moreover, the young Mei Xin led the army with numerous military exploits. It would be impossible for someone with no brains and impulsiveness to lead the army, and he had fought so many victories.Therefore, although he didn't know what happened, he believed that things were not as simple as Yu Hou said.

Thinking of Mei Xin's clear and resolute gaze, the emperor nodded in agreement and said, "What Lu Aiqing said is true, Mei Xin is young and true, but she is not a fierce and aggressive person."

Speaking of this, the Duke Deshun who stood aside opened his mouth and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is waiting outside the door."

As soon as the voice changed, the emperor went on to say: "I see that Marquis Yu is really sad, and I can't explain it clearly even if I think about it, come here, and call the princess of the town to have an audience!"

After finishing speaking, De Shun'er stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Zhuan, Princess Zhen Guo sees you!"

Mei Xinren's ears are particularly sharp in the tea room, and she intentionally mobilized her inner strength to listen quietly, and when she heard the emperor's call, she got up and walked out.After tidying up the armor on his body and pulling the cloak on his body, he walked into the hall with his back straightened and his head held high.

In terms of looks, Mei Xin can't be said to be an alluring country, but in terms of imposing manner, there are probably few women in this world who can compare with her.When everyone saw that she was very heroic at such a young age, she had the air of a general, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion for a while.

Without squinting her eyes and holding her head high, Mei Xin walked up to Marquis Yu and knelt down on one knee to salute, saying: "I bow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Bow down and salute and kowtow to the ground, Mei Xin pays respects!
Seeing that she was dressed in military uniform very much like Mei Linlang when she was young, the emperor kindly ordered her to stand up with Yu Hou and said, "You are inconvenient, so there is no need to be polite. Yu Hou said that you surrounded the Hou's mansion last night to whip his son. thing?"

Mei Xin got up and was not in a hurry to deny it, she bowed her hands and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I heard that my sister was having a difficult labor, so I rushed to the Hou's mansion in a hurry. It is true that I brought my own guards into the Hou's mansion. But I didn't order anyone Surrounding the Hou's mansion, and never restricting the entry and exit of anyone in the Hou's mansion, I don't know where this soldier encirclement came from?"

Not to mention that she is still the eldest princess of Zhen Guo, just talking about her official position, she can bring her personal guards when she comes in and out.Therefore, when she entered the Marquis Mansion yesterday, she thought of it, and specially sent only the number of personal guards.

Yu Hou expected that she would say that, but he did not expect that she would appear in the palace at this hour.Obviously when he left home, he sent someone to inquire. Shouldn't she still be sleeping in bed at this hour?
Mei Xin frowned when she saw Yu Hou's silence, and then said: "As for whipping Young Master Yu with the golden whip given by the emperor, there is indeed something wrong."

A golden whip from the imperial court made the courtiers boil instantly. Although the golden whip is not a precious sword, it can also beat the courtiers down. The emperor's preference for Mei Xin is really surprising.

The emperor rewarded the golden whip so that it would be convenient for her to go to Zhuangzi to restrain the princes, but it was really daring to think that she would use it to beat the eldest son Yu.Feeling vaguely angry in his heart, the emperor asked puzzledly: "What happened, why did you hurt someone?"

The tone was not kind, not as gentle as before, Mei Xin responded calmly and said: "I don't want to hurt people, but it's really Madam Yu and Young Master Yu who bully people too much. The emperor also knows the Mei family's ancestors, Men from the Mei family can accept concubines only when they are forty and childless, and women from the Mei family can only let concubines in when they are [-] and childless. Since the Yu family came to propose marriage and married the second younger sister of Weichen, it means that they have recognized the ancestors of the Mei family. training, and obey it unconditionally."

"The late emperor praised the Mei family's ancestral teachings when he was here, and my ministers also heard about it." Lu Guoliang chimed in and moved the late emperor out.

In an instant, everyone's memories were recalled, and several veteran officials in the court also agreed that there was indeed such a thing, and that the Mei family was unique, and there were probably not many people in the world who did not know the Mei family's ancestors' precepts.

The emperor can't deny that he brought out his own father, not to mention that this is a well-known thing, he said: "It is true, the father also praised the Mei family's family style at that time."
