Yutai Bi

Chapter 170 The Holy Judgment 1
"Your Majesty, I have a copy!" Three censors stood out from the Yushitai.

Among the civil and military officials, those from aristocratic families accounted for two-thirds.It is not surprising that Gaozong has a large number of officials on the side of the Cui family.Seeing Yu Shizuo, Gaozong frowned.

Yushitai is the highest supervisory department, in charge of the ceremonies of picketing and impeachment of officials, impeachment of illegal officials, and ceremonies of worshiping in the palace.In charge of supervising local officials and the six departments of Shangshu Province.Independent from the three provinces and six ministries, maintain a neutral posture.Opinions are often the most valued by the emperor.

Now there are three censors speaking for the Cui family.Gaozong felt a surge of anger in his heart.If things go on like this, how many remonstrances in this hall can be believed?
Gaozong said calmly, "Cui Yushi, please tell me."

"The Empress has given her a marriage, and the Du family must obey it even if they die. For the sake of their own daughter, they resisted the order and refused to obey it. I ask the emperor to issue an order to punish the Du family for their contempt for the empress' majesty!"

"If you don't obey the edict, the whole family will be beheaded. Is this what the Qing family mean?" A faint smile appeared on Gaozong's face.

Lord Cui said loudly: "In view of Du Guogong's merits, as long as the Du family is willing to marry the girl into the Jianguohou's mansion. This Marquis is willing to let the past go. Just treat them as obeying the imperial edict!"

Immediately there was another voice of praise: "Hou Ye is magnanimous!"

"Big fart!" A thunderous roar came from the entrance of the hall.

Following the sound, he strode into an old man with a black face who was dressed in a purple robe with a large group of flowers, a jade belt around his waist, and a crown on his head.He strode forward, stood side by side with Wei Xiang, lifted his robe and kowtowed: "Yu Chigong is a rough man, please forgive me for the crime of disrespect in front of the palace!"

Gaozong was overjoyed, got up and left the throne, and helped him up with his own hands: "The old man hasn't been in the palace for more than ten years, how is he? Come and show the old man his seat."

Wei Xiang was no younger than Yu Chigong, envious but helpless.The 24 meritorious officials in the Lingxiao Pavilion have been enshrined with incense for generations, and there are portraits for people to admire.Although Yu Chigong came from a blacksmith background and was not from a famous family, his prestige is no less than him.

The civil servants respected him, and the generals treated him like an ancestor, and went up to greet him one by one to say hello.

This self-reported family, his grandfather was a certain general under Yu Chigong.

The one who said that his father had been a general in the team he led.

The hall instantly became lively.

Yuchi Gong's son Yuchi Baolin is Wei Weiqing in the Nine Temples, watching his father suddenly go up to the temple, he took another step back.Make your presence as low as possible.

"The old minister came to the palace today for the marriage between Du Guogong's mansion and Jianguohou's mansion. Those who recognize their relatives are excused." Yu Chigong hadn't been to the palace for more than ten years, and he just didn't want to see this scene.Although he was born as a blacksmith, his mind is extremely delicate.It's all right if the emperor can reuse his son, because of his hard work, the emperor wants to show his benevolence, so is it possible for him to give himself a seat in the palace every day?If you have anything, you have to ask the old man what he thinks?If things go on like this, no matter how great the credit is, it will be worn away.

Then everyone retreated to the train.

Yuchi bowed his hands respectfully to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Old Minister Xu to ask Mr. Kaiguo a few words."

The emperor smiled at Mimi: "It's rare for the old man to enter the palace, so just ask if you have anything to say."

Yu Chigong went straight to Lord Cui Hou, pointed his nose and cursed: "The empress gave the marriage to Cui and Du's family. But your son is dead, so the girl must be married in the dark. If it's you My girl, are you willing? Not to mention that this action is harmful to morality, old Du has a spirit in heaven, and he will make the late emperor cry!"

The scolding made Marquis Cui's face change color, and he poked his neck and said, "Although the daughter of the Du family married my son's tablet, she obeyed the word loyalty. Could it be that the Queen's will can be disobeyed at will?"

Yu Chigong turned around and knelt down to the emperor: "The cause of the incident was the marriage bestowed by the mother. Du Guogong has a granddaughter behind him. The old minister begs the emperor to withdraw the will of granting the marriage in the name of Du Guogong's lifelong loyalty and meritorious service to the country."

Gaozong smiled and said: "The old man's words are very heart-warming. Master Cuihou has passed away. As long as he takes back his order, it will not be regarded as Cui and Du's resistance and disobedience."

"Your Majesty must not!" It was Zhongshu Ling Wang Xiang who spoke, "The Emperor withdraws his will, where will the empress be placed?"

"Once the golden mouth is opened, it will be difficult to close the water."

All the ministers below objected.

The three censors stood up without fear of death: "Since ancient times, the emperor and the empress have been one. Since the empress has issued an order, the emperor must also respect the wishes of the empress. It is a country's fortune for the emperor and empress to be in harmony."

"I don't believe that the empress is so cruel that she will let her be a widow for the rest of her life!" Gao Zong said.He was furious in his heart, and in the heart of the minister from the famous family, he felt that he could not cancel the queen's will.

Cui Houye poked his neck and shouted: "If the Empress Dowager withdraws the will in person, I will not insist on it anymore!"

Gaozong said tepidly: "In this case, let's retreat, I will ask the queen what she wants before making a decision!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Gaozong's heart burst into flames again.

After the court was over, he went straight to Wu Zhaoyi's palace.

"Your Majesty, the emperor has made some movement today!" Wu Zhaoyi saw the haze on the emperor's brows, smiled lightly and took his hand and put it on his belly.

The face is like a hibiscus, charming and gentle.Half of the anger in Gaozong's heart dissipated immediately.

"The emperor finally smiled." Wu Zhaoyi personally brought a bowl of mung bean soup to feed, "The emperor is not happy, and the emperor is afraid."

Gaozong was aroused again when he heard the words.All caring about the majesty of the queen, what about the majesty of the emperor?Feeling depressed again: "That group of veterans!"

Tell Wu Zhaoyi one by one.

"The empress is also a daughter, so how can she not know the suffering of her daughter's family. The empress will definitely take back her life. At that time, Lord Cui will have nothing to say. Your Majesty, don't need to worry." Wu Zhaoyi said softly.

"Really?" Gaozong sneered secretly in his heart.But because of Wu Zhaoyi's words, he held a glimmer of hope. "Meiniang, what about you? No matter what decision I make, do you agree with me?"

"That's natural. The concubine does not agree with the emperor, so is it possible that he still agrees with the old man Wei?" Wu Zhaoyi gave the emperor a look, then stuck out her tongue, showing the cuteness of a girl, "We must never know this. It's gone. The emperor can't say it."

She was three or four years older than Gao Zong, but in Gao Zong's eyes, she was both pure and mature, and he felt pity and love in his heart: "I don't want you to be scolded by them."

Gaozong stayed for lunch, and seeing Wu Zhaoyi's tired face, he sent her to bed with distress, and then left.

When Emperor Gaozong left, Wu Zhaoyi opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips: "Cui Wan, Cui Wan, if you continue to cry, the emperor will still pity you a little bit. Are you instigating the ministers to play and show off to the emperor? It's a pity that you look like I saw You Lian. Eunuch Cheng, how are things going?"

Eunuch Cheng bowed his head and replied: "Go back to your mother, Imperial Physician Liu has clearly told Jieyu that you are pregnant with a prince. The servant girl asked her to tell her about General Du's visit to your mother. Just now, someone told her that your mother is pregnant today. Speaking for the Du family. When the emperor and the empress had lunch, Liu Jieyu went to the queen's palace."

"Be careful in the queen's palace, I don't want to be deaf and blind."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The slaves and maids are all arranged."

Wu Zhaoyi yawned, stroked her abdomen lightly, and closed her eyes in satisfaction.

The emperor's chariot was stopped halfway.Gaozong ordered: "Go to the forbidden barracks and ask General Du to accompany you."

The servant trotted to deliver the decree.Du Yansui tidied up her attire and hurried over.

At this time Gaozong had arrived at the gate of the Queen's Palace. Seeing Du Yansui coming, he said with a smile: "I heard that you have canceled your vacation today, but I remembered that I haven't seen you for several days. Please wait outside the palace."

"I obey the order." Du Yansui followed the emperor into the palace gate, and stood outside the main hall with the imperial guards.

Gaozong entered the palace, saw Liu Jieyu was there, and thought that this matter had to be discussed with the queen alone.In case the disagreement between the two was spread out.

After the queen and Liu Jieyu saluted, Gaozong said: "I have something to discuss with the queen, Jieyu should go back to the palace first."

"Does the emperor want the concubine to take back the promise of the marriage? Forgive the concubine for nothing!" Empress Cui lowered her face in front of Liu Jieyu.

Liu Jieyu was taken aback, she didn't want to be caught between the empress and empress.After saluting: "The concubine will leave." She left in a hurry.

After leaving the hall, he glanced at Du Yansui, and said in a low voice: "Don't think that if someone supports you, your sister won't have to marry. Even if she is pregnant with the prince, she won't be able to take away my son's crown prince!"

Du Yan's eyes were expressionless: "Your Majesty, let's go."

He stood up straight, the early summer sun shone in front of the hall, he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

In that piece of resplendent and resplendent palace lived a woman who was careful in her thoughts and acted boldly.Du Yansui thought of seeking skin from a tiger.

After all, he still couldn't trust himself and refused to let himself slip between Empress Cui and her.The slightest tease from the harem woman broke the balance he was struggling to maintain.

He remembered Cen Sanniang telling him not to fight against Wu Zhaoyi.

Du Yansui thought silently.

King Teng and Wu Zhaoyi had a tacit understanding, and all arrangements followed the emperor's wishes.If the veterans refuse to return the power to the emperor, the emperor can only take power from the harem.When the harem takes power, the emperor will love Wu Zhaoyi more and be indifferent to the queen.After giving birth to the prince, Wu Zhaoyi will be promoted to the fourth concubine, and then share the rights of the queen.

He felt a bit bitter in his mouth, the general trend of the harem, he had already set foot on the boat of King Teng and Wu Zhaoyi, and he could only watch one step at a time.
