Chapter 284 Disputes
  Soon, the incident between Prince Liang and Princess Liang in the Xie family's memorial hall fermented overnight.

People outside are spreading:
  "The King of Liang used his power to bully others. He molested the eldest daughter of the Xie family in the mourning hall of the second girl of the Xie family, and kept saying that he wanted to take the noble daughter of the family as his concubine."

"Concubine? Is she the eldest daughter of the Xie family who is married to the Song family?"

"That's right, the emperor has annulled the marriage contract between the Xie family and the Song Dynasty, and declared that the seven-year marriage of the eldest daughter of the Xie family is invalid. The King of Liang used this reason to belittle the Xie family."

"Then Prince Liang's legs are disabled. How dare he go to the Xie Mansion to ask for permission to attend the mourning hall of the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and the second daughter of the Xie family."

"His Royal Highness the Prince happened to appear at that time and wanted to ask Prince Liang a question..."

"What?"

"Prince Liang and his wife are behaving badly because they don't take the aristocratic family seriously. The Xie family is a model of the aristocratic family. You disrespect the two legitimate daughters of the Xie family and slap the face of the aristocratic family."

The storyteller said loudly with a "snap".

……

When King Liang heard the public opinion outside, he slammed the table angrily, then swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and roared: "Nonsense, nonsense, arrest all those treacherous officials and traitors who are talking nonsense."

"My lord, you have to calm down." Princess Liang wanted to comfort her before leaving.

When she came over, Prince Liang casually picked up the vase and threw it at Princess Liang.

If Princess Liang hadn't been able to hide quickly, the vase might have hit her head.

The vase fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, but it failed to vent the anger in King Liang's heart.

Princess Liang did not dare to approach him again: "Your Majesty, there is someone behind this matter."

"Do you think this king doesn't know? It's the prince. Does he think he can get the support of the Xie Mansion in this way? He had a dream. Then you went into the palace and told your mother that this king is seriously ill and the battle will become bigger."

He thought that as long as he avoided it for a while, the limelight would soon be suppressed.

But public opinion is getting stronger day by day. In the family, there was a woman who took the lead, and Mrs. Luo was killed in front of Wude Gate.

It’s not like girls from aristocratic families have never entered high families as concubines.

But girls from aristocratic families don't want to be forced into prostitution.

I don't want to see him being teased by a prince during the funeral.

King Liang seemed to be humiliating the eldest daughter of the Xie family, but in fact he was declaring a war without gunpowder to the family.

If they turn a blind eye, there is no guarantee that disaster will not befall them one day in the future.

Soon, officials from aristocratic families who entered the court as officials walked to the main hall and impeached King Liang: "Your Majesty, King Liang and Princess Liang molested the eldest daughter of the Xie family on the day of the funeral in the Xie Mansion, and asked thank you in front of everyone. Your Majesty wants to take the eldest daughter of the Xie family as a concubine. Such behavior is really disrespectful to the deceased and does not take the Xie family into consideration."

"As we all know, the Xie family has been a model for our Shang Dynasty family. They promoted Confucian etiquette, managed the family with benevolence, virtue, etiquette, and filial piety, stabilized the country, and united the university students and scholars."

"To be humiliated by the King of Liang now is because I don't take the family seriously. Today, I will resign my black gauze hat to show the integrity of my family."

The first minister took off his official hat.

Then, the second, the third, the fourth...

Among the hundreds of officials, more than half of the aristocratic families forcibly resigned from their official positions and knelt in the main hall.

Although they didn't say anything else, their actions told Emperor Jing'an.

Your imperial power is not based on trampling on noble families.

Emperor Jing'an was so anxious that he almost vomited blood. When his chamberlain helped him back to Qianqing Hall, Emperor Jing'an said angrily: "I want to summon Prince Liang!"
