However, Mrs. Chu didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. Thinking that her father would not help Aunt Xi in front of everyone, she said: "Father, my daughter-in-law has also heard what the second lady said. This Fang Yu
You deserve to die for actually daring to hook up with the chief maid next to the Supreme Emperor and causing chaos in the palace. You really deserve to die."
Is there any excuse for this kind of thing? People have been dead for so many years. Besides, who will pursue the matter that happened back then?
The Imperial Guard was executed. Many people knew what happened. It was because he had touched the Holy Wrath of the Supreme Emperor that he was killed with a rod.
A person who was executed by the Supreme Emperor was just an old woman who had served in the palace for many years. She was not worthy of such an effort.
Chu Shoufu's eyes were filled with shocking fury, but his voice was as steady as spring water, "Fang Yu, I followed the Supreme Emperor at the age of sixteen. After the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he was named the imperial guard. Since his term, he has fulfilled his duties faithfully. On that occasion when the Supreme Emperor personally led the expedition,
He went with him. In that tragic battle, I, Xiaoyao Gong, and he escorted the Supreme Emperor to escape from the pile of dead people and retrieve the main force. In the end, in that battle, we turned defeat into victory. The day of victory was
Twenty-eight years ago yesterday.”
People in the Chu family rarely listened to Chu Shoufu talking about what happened back then.
In this home, Chu Shoufu would not be verbose or redundant, his orders would be simple and clear, and he would not mention his past events in front of his wife, concubines, descendants.
The Chu family knew that he had been on the battlefield, that he had escaped from death, and that he had made great contributions to the Northern Tang Dynasty, but no one knew the specific details.
Now that they heard him talking about that war, everyone held their breath and waited for him to continue, because Fang Yu had protected and saved the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor finally killed him with a stick, which shows how serious a crime he had committed.
Chu Shoufu continued: "The year Fang Yu died, he was twenty-six, and he was younger than many of you here. Not long after the Emperor ascended the throne, there was a ceremony to worship the heaven. The Emperor went out for inspection two days in advance, and Fang Yu followed him as an imperial guard.
Go, but everyone knows that the traitor Thirteenth Master learned about the trip of the Supreme Emperor and sent people to assassinate him. Fang Yu sacrificed his life to protect the Supreme Emperor. After his sacrifice, the Supreme Emperor named him the Protector of the Country. He is me.
The first protector of the country."
Everyone was shocked.
Fang Yu is the protector of the country? Isn’t it right? Didn’t it say that an imperial guard named Fang was killed with a stick because of the chaos in the palace?
Mrs. Chu was also a little panicked and said quickly: "Really? It turns out that he is the Protector of the Country. How come he is said like this outside? It can be seen that it is nonsense. Father does not need to take it to heart."
Chu Shoufu finally picked up the tea placed next to him, raised his head, and his eyes were like lightning. With a flash and a cold, the cup in his hand flew out.
The cup hit Mrs. Chu.
"grandfather!"
"Father!"
After everyone was startled, they all stepped forward and knelt down, "What's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Chu's face was stiff and embarrassed. The tea cup hit her collarbone, and the tea leaked out and flowed down her chest, making her feel wet, cold and freezing.
She stared at Chu Shoufu with a stubborn and resentful tone, "Father, tell me what your daughter-in-law did wrong. Even if you kill your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law will never complain, but you have to explain why."
The fury in Chu Shoufu's eyes suddenly burst out, and he said sternly: "Because you ordered people to spread the rumors outside, you ordered people to create rumors. You not only insulted Aunt Xi, you also insulted the protector who saved the life of the Supreme Emperor.
Sir, the Supreme Emperor has already known about this matter and ordered severe punishment. You just said that I would kill you, and you have no complaints. You really cannot have any complaints. If you don't die, no one in the Chu family can escape."
Madam Chu's eyes showed panic. However, she was the eldest lady of the Chu family after all. She had seen big battles and experienced wind and rain. She forced herself to maintain her composure and defended herself: "Father, you said that your daughter-in-law has nothing to do with anything."
Okay, but we can’t say that the daughter-in-law is spreading rumors. The daughter-in-law has never done this before, and it was not the daughter-in-law who did it. The daughter-in-law will die and refuse to admit it."
"You don't need to admit it!" Chu Shoufu's cold eyes fell on the face of the Chu family uncle, "Draft a letter of divorce and prepare poisoned wine. After the divorce letter is written, she will drink the poisoned wine and the body will be returned to her.
’s natal family.”
The uncle of the Chu family was in a panic and kowtowed: "Father, have you investigated this matter clearly? I'm afraid she was wronged, and even if she did it, she won't be punished with death."
"If she doesn't die, you will die," Chu Shoufu looked at him, "You admit this to the Emperor, and you alone will bear the blame. However, before you die, I will still expel you from the Chu family and sever ties with me."
