Chapter 233: The Bustle of the Morning Court
Xie Yunxiao did not attend the morning court and missed an extremely wonderful morning court.
Old Grand Tutor Yu, who had not appeared in the morning court for several years, was supported by Yu Xingchuan and entered the hall, followed by Qu Jin, who had a serious face.
When Lord Qu saw Qu Jin's expression, he knew that today's matter would not end well.
She suddenly returned home yesterday without even saying goodbye, and she called a group of Qu's soldiers and left. No one could stop her.
Later, when the events of General Fang's mansion came to light, he heard about it at home and discussed it with the eldest princess and his two sons.
The eldest princess just smiled and said, "She has her own responsibilities."
The two sons patted their chests and said that they would take the blame regardless of whether they would be punished or not.
Such a big thing happened that the emperor heard the report from his personal eunuch as soon as he got up in the morning. He was overwhelmed before he went to court.
Originally, I thought it would be Yu Xingchuan and Qu Jin who would speak in the court, but unexpectedly, Old Master Yu came in person. Even the emperor felt a little nervous, because this was his teacher.
The old master stood in the center of the hall holding a cane and saluted the emperor. "This old minister is here today to apologize for his crime and to ask for his approval."
Apologize, the old tutor's words were too serious. The emperor felt like there was a thorn under his butt. He didn't know for a moment whether he should stand up and apologize to his teacher.
"Teacher, that's too much."
The old tutor is old, but he still stands with his back straight in the center of the hall. The pressure he exudes is different from that of a military general. It is like a class teacher who has taught you for many years and is also the school's education director.
Standing there, the students' calves would cramp and their brains would race, for fear that they would be caught making any mistakes.
“Your Majesty, my granddaughter has been married to General Fang’s legitimate son Fang Jinyu for only a year.
Fang Jinyu favors his concubine over his wife, and allows the concubine to harm the mistress repeatedly. When Shu He was pregnant, she was almost miscarried by the concubine.
Now, she was seven months pregnant, and the old lady, the wife, and the concubine of the Fang family joined forces to cause her to have premature birth and hemorrhage, and she almost lost her life.
I have devoted my life to the court, and my family has never violated the rules. Why did my granddaughter have to suffer such a disaster? Please, Your Majesty, help me."
After Yu Lao Taishi finished speaking, Qu Jin stepped forward, saluted, and spoke in a bright and clear voice, "Your Majesty, last night, I dispatched the Qu family army without authorization and surrounded General Fang's mansion.
Dozens of suspects were arrested, including the doctor who delivered Miss Yu. He confessed that he was assigned by the old lady of the Fang family, Mrs. Fang, and a concubine named Han Yueer.
During the delivery, an excessive amount of oxytocin was used with the intention of causing Miss Yu to die from postpartum hemorrhage.
Imperial physician Zhang Zezheng can testify to this point. This is the testimony of Imperial Physician Zhang on the residue of the oxytocin drug and the testimony of the midwife.
In addition, Mrs. Fang assigned two maids to Miss Yu and the personal maid to Han Yue'er, who were instructed by Han Yue'er to replace the cobblestones in Miss Yu's yard, causing her to slip and give birth prematurely.
If she kills Miss Yu, she can take the position of the mistress. This is the promise made to her by the old lady of the Fang family, Madam Fang, and Fang Jinyu.
These are the testimonies of the maid and Han Yue'er.
All the above people, except Old Madam Fang and Madam Fang, are detained and the Emperor can summon them for interrogation at any time.
In addition, Qu Jin mobilized troops without authorization and surrounded the general's residence. Your Majesty, please punish him." After saying this, he lifted his robe and knelt down.
Qu Jin spoke in a calm tone, every word was spoken very clearly, and his voice seemed to carry magic, penetrating the ears of everyone in the hall.
The elders in the court all knew about the affairs of the Fang and Yu families, but it was someone else's family affair and the marriage was arranged by the emperor. The Yu family had not stepped forward, so naturally there was no reason for them to step forward.
But after returning home, she sent people to inquire again about whether her daughter had already been engaged, so that her daughter would not fall into such a trap.
Now, the matter has been brought to the main hall, and even Old Grand Tutor Yu has come out to demand justice, so naturally they followed suit.
"Your Majesty, the marriage between the Fang and Yu families was requested by the Fang family before the emperor, and the emperor granted the marriage in consideration of the Fang family's military achievements.
But the Fang family has failed the emperor's trust, failed to treat the Yu family's daughter well, and favored the concubine over the wife. This is really intolerable. Please punish the emperor and give justice to the Yu family."
"I second the motion!" One person stood up, and the people behind him followed suit.
The emperor already regretted it and felt ashamed to see his teacher. Now that the matter has become so serious, he should just take advantage of the situation and correct this mistake as soon as possible.
With a cold face, the emperor announced, "General Fang betrayed the emperor's grace and favored his concubine over his wife. The two families will be divorced and the Yu family will be compensated with one thousand taels of gold.
All those who participated in the murder of Miss Yu were handed over to the Dali Temple for re-interrogation. Once the case was verified to be correct, the Dali Temple made a judgment in accordance with the law.
Anyone involved in the incident will be severely punished, no matter who they are."
After finishing speaking, the emperor added, "General Fang and Fang Jinyu are both in the Eastern Territory now. We will make a decision after they return to the capital after the war."
What Grand Tutor Yu wants is the decree of divorce. General Fang is still in the eastern border. A temporary replacement of generals will be disadvantageous to the war. The emperor made such an arrangement for the sake of the country.
He had been an official all his life, and had worked hard for the country and the people, so naturally he knew what was important.
Thank you immediately.
As for Qu Jin, the emperor looked at her and said nothing for a long time.
Old Master Yu took a step forward and slightly blocked Qu Jin's kneeling body, "Your Majesty, General Qu was entrusted by this old minister. I will bear any punishment."
The emperor pinched his brows, his head throbbing, and raised his eyes to meet the gloomy face of Marquis Qu. Forget it, this must be the eldest princess's opinion. He didn't dare to offend the eldest princess.
He waved his hands helplessly, "Forget it, General Qu also had his reasons, this won't happen again."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Jin bowed his head and stood up calmly.
As soon as the morning court was over, people from the Dali Temple surrounded the entire Fang family. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation and later specifically instructed that the old lady and Madam Fang of the Fang family be temporarily detained in the mansion.
Others who deserve to be put in jail should be put in jail.
Old Madam Fang, who was still thinking of going to the Emperor to report Qu Jin for secretly leading troops to besiege the General's Mansion, was completely panicked when the Fang family was surrounded.
Mrs. Fang came running over crying, her hand holding the crutch shaking with anger. She blamed all of them on those two damn girls from the Qu family and Jiang Yuan.
If it weren't for them, Yu Shuhe would have died long ago, and by the time the Yu family reacted, they would have cleaned up the mess.
The Yu family could only swallow their anger.
It’s all because of those three damn girls. It’s all over now, completely over.
Madam Fang looked ashen, she cried and tugged at the old lady's clothes, "Mother, mother, we still have the master.
As long as the master returns victorious in the battle, there will still be room for things to turn around.
The emperor cannot punish the hero who just returned from the battle.
Divorce is reasonable. As long as the Fang family doesn't fall, we can plan carefully and turn things around again."
