Chapter 96: We are ashamed of such courage

Uncle Zhongyi immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean to offend you. The law of Shangqi is fair and strict. The situation of the child is really worrying, but Anyuanhou, who is in charge of official studies, threatens me and persuades me to understand. I really don't know. How should I recognize this child when he is beaten like this? Please give me a clear warning, Your Majesty!"

Chu Baikui was extremely anxious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I never threatened Uncle Zhongyi. I just want this matter to be resolved satisfactorily. Uncle Zhongyi cannot understand my painstaking efforts..."

"Bah, your son was beaten until he was lying unconscious on the bed, and you are here to tell me how hard you have gone!" Uncle Zhongyi refused to give in.

The emperor's eyes fell on the palace. If Chu Baikui just wanted to calm down the matter, his method of handling this matter was not perfect, but it was still satisfactory.

After all, officials have always been able to make peace with each other and smooth things over.

But the premise is that he can smooth it out, and now it is obvious that Chu Baikui has not smoothed it out.

And if Chu Baikui ignores the Duke of Ju and those dignitaries and handles the matter according to normal official rules, the Duke of Ju and the others will obviously not be convinced.

Chu Baikui didn't have the ability to make this matter go smoothly.

He felt more deeply that it was because there was no more powerful force behind him, and the Anyuan Hou Mansion had also fallen.

If in Liyanghou Mansion, there is a favored sister in the palace, Concubine Qing, and Liyanghou himself is also a second-grade minister, why would he need to be so aggrieved?

The emperor said: "What do you think?"

Taifu Ye said calmly: "Your Majesty, I think it's not surprising at all that Mr. Chu handled the matter like this!"

"Oh, what does that mean?"

Taifu Ye said: "I heard that Mr. Chu was a romantic man in his early years. He raised a foreign wife and made his first wife angry. He directly married the foreign wife as his stepmother, and then sent the first wife's children far away to the countryside without hearing anything about it. No matter what, the children born outside the house are treated as treasures. We are ashamed of such courage!"

He spoke of courage, but his obvious ridicule was not concealed.

Emperor Qi Sheng frowned and looked at Chu Baikui with a somewhat unkind look.

It is not a big mistake for a man to be romantic, but aristocratic families have their own rules, and noble families have their own standards.Doting on concubines and destroying wives is despised by others.

What's more, it would be even more shameful to dote on someone other than your wife, but an outsider.

Chu Baikui's face turned pale and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is definitely not the case. My first wife died of illness!"

Taifu Ye laughed: "Is it true that I drove my eldest daughter to the countryside?"

Chu Baikui's face turned even paler, and he defended himself weakly: "That's not the case. In fact, a master at that time asserted that the eldest daughter was a hindrance to his wife and children, and the minister's first wife and eldest son also did not live long because of her. I have no choice but to make this decision! I feel sorry for you all the time!"

Taifu Ye said: "Oh? A child who harms his wife and children doesn't matter when he is born, but only when he is four years old? Is it the eldest daughter who harms your wife and children, or do you harm your wife and children?"

All the ministers were a little surprised. It was rare for Taifu Ye to target a low-level official of only fifth rank so obviously.

However, I never expected that Mr. Ye would be so doting on his wife, and naturally he would look down upon the kind of man who dotes on his concubines and kills his wife.

Chu Baikui felt sweat on his forehead.

With another person, he could argue with his arguments and even scold the other person for meddling in other people's business. However, facing him was Taifu Ye, how could he dare?Especially when he looked at Qi Sheng Emperor's eyes getting darker and darker.He said with a bitter face: "I also feel that I may have been deceived by the so-called master, so I also want to make amends. I will take back my eldest daughter and compensate her for the injustice she has suffered over the years. I will also do my best as a father." It is my responsibility to give her everything that my eldest daughter has. Mr. Ye, as the uncle of my little daughter, please persuade her to accept my intention as a father!"

All the ministers: "..."

Wow, Taifu Ye is the uncle of Chu Baikui’s daughter?

No wonder Master Ye targeted Chu Baikui!
The courtiers knew about the affairs in Beijing very quickly.

But they only knew that Taifu Ye had a niece who had just arrived in Beijing.But they didn't know that this niece turned out to be Chu Baikui's daughter.

What kind of bad luck did Chu Baikui have to marry Taifu Ye's sister?
Shi Yucheng was even more shocked.

Chu Baikui and Ye Shijing actually still have this kind of relationship?
Taifu Ye snorted coldly: "I will not get involved in your father and daughter's affairs. If anyone makes my granddaughter suffer, I will not let him go!"

Chu Baikui wiped his sweat and said: "Yes, yes!"

Uncle Zhongyi's face turned pale. Could it be that his son's beating was in vain?
Taifu Ye glanced at him and said: "The official school was set up by the imperial court to cultivate talents for pillars. Among them, the students learned about the world of literature, universal etiquette, humility and honesty, and the way of a gentleman. But now they are regarded as It is a place for private fights and bullying of classmates. If such a bad thing happens and is not severely punished, where will the academic style of the official school be from now on? Your Majesty, please punish those involved severely!"

The Duke of Ju is anxious. If he wants to be severely punished, his son is the leader. Wouldn't he bear the brunt?
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to teach my son. Please remember that I am young, and I will discipline you strictly from now on. I am willing to compensate the son of a loyal and righteous uncle with a thousand taels of silver. Please forgive me!"

Uncle Zhongyi said angrily: "Your son is a son, but other people's sons are not sons? My son's life or death is uncertain now. What do I need this money for?"

Qi Sheng Emperor said: "What do you think the master has to say?"

Taifu Ye glanced at Shi Yucheng, turned to the person on the dragon throne and held up his hands: "Your Majesty, there is a superior responsible for this matter. Your opinion is not important. What is important is, how does Shi Lang think it should be handled?"

Praying to the Holy Emperor to follow the good deeds, he said: "Shi Qing!"

Shi Yucheng, the Right Assistant Minister, was the main person in charge of Guan Guanxue. He felt in his heart that Taifu Ye was beating him again. If the answer was not good, he, the Right Assistant Assistant, might be demoted again.

He was panicking in his heart, and tried to keep his face calm as he said: "Your Majesty, I feel that Taifu Ye's words, every word, and official style of study are of great importance. A fight is intolerable, let alone a beating. , using the strong to bully the weak? I feel that these students should be kicked out of the official school. The leader will be compensated with 2000 taels of silver, and the remaining followers will be compensated with 1000 taels of silver!"

His words were still very tactful. Apart from the seriousness of being kicked out of the official school, how could the Duke of Ju and others care about matters that could be solved with money?
As he spoke, he looked directly at Taifu Ye.

Uncle Zhongyi felt dissatisfied with this treatment, and he knelt on the ground without getting up.

Qisheng Emperor looked at Taifu Ye again.

Taifu Ye smiled slightly and said: "It's the father's fault if he doesn't teach him. If he doesn't teach him, it's his fault! Mr. Shi handled it with care. Did he want to protect your subordinates, the ceremonial officials, or did the knife not hurt him?" Come on! How about Mr. Shi organize the language again and say it again?"

The emperor smiled, this is Taifu Ye.

Uncle Zhongyi only received a ninth-grade sinecure, and the reason why these dozen young men who participated in the beatings were so arrogant was because they were of nobler origins than Uncle Zhongyi's sons.

For a trivial matter, he would offend more than a dozen nobles and ministers.

He has no clique or selfish interests, he is only loyal to the emperor, he has no family or friends, and he shows no mercy when he offends people!How many people in the court hated him to the core!
