From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 353
The dragon chair was slapped, and the emperor's chest heaved and fluctuated.

All the ministers knelt down unanimously, and shouted in unison: "The emperor calms down, I know my mistake, and I ask the emperor to punish me!"

The emperor didn't say a word, and he didn't order them to stand up like in the past, let them all continue to kneel.

After a while, the emperor adjusted his breathing a little and heaved a sigh of relief, calming down his mood.He raised his finger and glanced at Mei Xin, glanced at the eunuch guarding the side, and said, "The eldest princess' fetal image is unstable, and she has been conserving her baby recently, so she can't stand for a long time, please sit down!"

Immediately looked away after finishing speaking, the emperor raised his finger to Marquis Yu again and said, "Let's talk about what happened in your house last night first, and then we will talk about Qiu Zaifu and you after Miss Qiu San arrives and compares the handwriting." No one is allowed to intervene without my permission, and if you dare to quarrel in a mess, you will all have to pull out the imperial staff twenty."

It's against the sky, one by one, when the Hall of Supreme Harmony is somewhere, and who he is, who dares to despise the majesty of the emperor, he should be punished!

Startled, Yu Hou straightened his waist and straightened his back and said: "I obey the order! The eldest princess whipped the child and hung him on a tree, and then killed the servant girl who was four months pregnant in Weichen's house." A sword pierced through the heart, and when the servant arrived, the servant girl died of anger. Your Majesty, the servant was willing to be punished, but the childish and innocent eldest princess killed as soon as she said she wanted to. People point their fingers. My humble minister dares to ask the emperor to give justice to the maidservant."

After speaking, he kowtowed to the ground again.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xin would be so reckless, and she killed a pregnant woman. The emperor looked at Mei Xin who had just sat down on the grand teacher's chair with some displeasure: "Is what Yu Hou said true?"

Hearing the sound, Mei Xin stood up instinctively, the emperor waved her hand to signal her to sit down, and then said: "I told you to sit down and answer while sitting down. What's going on, why did you kill someone?"

Obviously there was an internal reason, the emperor was not in a hurry, he changed his posture and leaned on the dragon chair, quietly looking at Mei Xin.Last night he slept very restlessly at the queen's place, dreaming continuously, and woke up this morning feeling groggy.Just now they made a fuss, and now my head is buzzing like a bee has got into it.

After standing for a long time, Mei Xin's stomach felt swollen again, she was not polite, she just sat down and bowed her hands and said: "Before answering this question, I have a few words I want to ask Lord Hou, please allow it."

Nodding in agreement, the emperor motioned for her to ask.

Turning her head and not being surprised, Mei Xin withdrew her saluting hand and asked word by word: "May I ask the name of Hou Hou's maidservant? Is it a child of the Hou's family or bought it from outside? If I remember correctly, just now The Lord said that his son did not take a concubine, since he did not take a concubine, who is the child in her womb? Why is the wife of the Hou Ye screaming in front of me, saying that she is your son's concubine?"

Knowing the truth, she would play with them if they wanted to play.Anyway, facts speak louder than words, she will see how he argues.

Marquis Yu was depressed, but accepting a girl as a concubine is to pass the bright road, and to tell everyone in the mansion.None of these things, he doesn't admit it, and he can't admit it: "Qi Your Majesty, the servant girl's surname is Mei and her name is Ruoyun. She is not a child of Weichen's mansion, nor is she bought from outside. She is the dowry maid of Weichen's daughter-in-law." .The daughter-in-law was pregnant and couldn't serve the humble minister's son, so she disgraced the servant girls around her, but she didn't accept her as a concubine, so I ask the emperor to learn from her!"

"You are lying, you are deceiving the emperor!" While speaking, Mei Xin took out a marriage letter from her sleeve, and offered it with both hands, and then said: "My Majesty, I found this in Ruoyun's room. Mr. Yu not only promised her in a marriage letter, Madam Yu also forced her to cross the Ming Road regardless of the wishes of the second sister of Weichen. Everyone in the Hou family knows about this matter. The emperor can send someone to investigate .If I have a false statement, I am willing to be dealt with by military law!"

It was Madam Yu who made a big fuss, if she hadn't entangled Hou Hou, she wouldn't have had time to look for these things.

The red marriage letter was presented to the emperor by the eunuch, the emperor only glanced at it and said: "Even if he takes a concubine, you shouldn't kill people, besides she is still pregnant, you..."

Mei Xin got up and knelt down before she finished speaking, and interrupted the emperor decisively and loudly, saying: "The late emperor once said that the Mei family has been loyal and good for generations, but any slave who betrays the master will be killed without mercy! Mei Ruoyun is the family member of Weichen's mansion Having a child, although she was a dowry maid at the beginning, she did not bring her body deed to the Hou Mansion. She is still the son of the Mei family. She knew the Mei family's ancestors precepts and dared to defy the law by herself. We can tolerate her. If we don’t kill her to set an example, the servants in Weichen’s mansion will follow suit. Today they are only climbing on the bed to bully and betray their masters, but in the future they will kill their masters and seize power.”

One sentence blocked the emperor to death, and the four words "kill the lord and seize power" also made him speechless.

At this time, Master Wei, the censor Zhongcheng, opened his mouth and only listened to him: "What the eldest princess said is very true. The state owns the state and the family has family rules. If everyone does not abide by it, and the subordinates violate the superiors, the world will not be chaotic."

Hearing the sound, he turned his head and glanced at Master Wei. The emperor squeezed the marriage letter in his hand and threw it directly in front of Yu Hou, saying: "Pregnant women have many taboos. You really shouldn't wield swords and swords when you are pregnant, let alone do it yourself. Murder. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, just order someone to drag you out and beat him to death with sticks. It would be too cheap for her to dare to betray the Lord with a sword through her heart, good kill!"

He bit every word of the last sentence very hard, telling Yu Hou and also warning Mei Xin and all the ministers.

In an instant, Yu Hou regretted his intestines again, and he suddenly realized that he had not only underestimated Mei Xin, she was even smarter than imagined.Not only that, she can be said to know the emperor very well, and she is fully aware of his taboos.

What the emperor is most afraid of is that the Mei family will betray the lord, betray him and cause chaos. If he is the master of that maidservant today, it is tantamount to telling the world that people will not be punished for betraying the lord.If everyone imitates the world, chaos will follow. In desperation, we can only say that the killing is good.

Seeing the emperor's expression as if he was holding back shit, Mei Xin said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Raising his hand to signal her to stand up and sit down, the emperor looked at Yanhou and said, "The marriage certificate is the proof, is there anything else Yuhou wants to say?"

The cold and serious tone made Yu Hou tremble, knowing that the emperor was so angry, he pleaded guilty with a hoarse voice and made a cry: "I am guilty, I am negligent, I don't know that traitor dare to If you do such a thing, please punish the emperor!"

Bang Bang Bang kowtowed three times in a row, Yu Hou really regretted it.At this point, he just wants to get out of his body. If he can, he really hopes that he didn't go to court today. It's really a shame, a shame!
