King Qi asked: "I wonder what rumors my grandfather heard? However, it doesn't matter what people outside say. Who cares what others say? The Chu family is not arrogant and domineering."
He believes that people outside say that the Chu family is arrogant and domineering. They have been saying this for many years, but they are not saying it just now. Is it possible that my grandfather just heard it now?
The Chu family is actually quite arrogant. How many people outside would shudder when they heard about the Chu family?
Chu Shoufu seemed not to have heard what King Qi said, and asked Mrs. Chu, "Madam, do you know what people outside are saying?"
Mrs. Chu was not afraid when her name was called, she just smiled and said: "Father, my daughter-in-law has never cared about the nonsense rumors."
"Yes," Chu Shoufu said sternly, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "You have never cared. If you care, you should know that rumors are like poisonous arrows and can kill people invisible."
Mrs. Chu did not dare to look at him like this and lowered her head, "Yes!"
Many people present knew what Chu Shoufu meant.
Because the rumors this time were so powerful that in just three or two days, it spread throughout the city, in the streets and alleys, and even in the inner courtyards of every mansion.
It's no wonder that the protagonist of the rumor turned out to be the contemporary chief minister, Chu Chief Minister, whose prestige was almost equal to that of the emperor.
The other one is Aunt Xi who has served the Supreme Emperor all her life. It is such a great trust and favor to be able to follow the Supreme Emperor all her life. s11();
Naturally, this matter attracted special attention.
Mrs. Chu's face also trembled and she lowered her eyes.
She warned that the old man can handle even big things.
But just touching those three words was his Achilles heel.
recognize.
She warned that no one should mess with that person.
However, it is clear that these four words, arrogant and domineering, are really correct.
In their eyes, they don't look down on anyone.
Chu Shoufu asked slowly: "Do you know who Fang Yu is?"
His eyes were still looking at Mrs. Chu.
Sure enough, that's what he said.
Mrs. Chu shook her head, "I don't know."
Many people say they don't know.
However, many people actually knew that this Fang Yu was the person who was rumored to have had an affair with Grandma Xi and was eventually executed by the Supreme Emperor.
The second wife of the Chu family heard the rumors outside, and when everyone said they didn't know, she said: "Father, this Fang Yu, my daughter-in-law knows about it. I heard that he had an affair with Aunt Xi and was killed by the Supreme Emperor because of the chaos in the palace.
Executed to death."
Chu Shoufu's cold eyes fell on the face of Mrs. Chu Er, who was so frightened that Mrs. Chu quickly waved her hands, "My daughter-in-law just listened to what people outside said, my daughter-in-law doesn't know anything."
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 beside the Supreme Emperor and messing up 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 rage,
Listen, listen&
nbsp;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 appointed as the imperial guard. Since then, he has performed his duties faithfully. When the Supreme Emperor personally went on an expedition, he went with him. That In a tragic battle, I, Xiaoyao Gong, and him together 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. of yesterday.”
People in the Chu family rarely listened to Chu Shoufu talking about what happened back then.
Everyone was shocked.
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 uncle of the Chu family was completely panicked, 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."
She needs to admit it!" Chu Shoufu's cold eyes fell on the face of the Chu family uncle, "Draw up a divorce and prepare poisoned wine. After the divorce, give her the poisoned wine and send the body back to her natal family."
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.
Were the imperial guards killed with a stick because of the evil in the palace?
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."
Mrs. Chu was also a little panicked and said quickly: "Really? It turns out that he is the Protector of the Country. Why do people say this outside? It can be seen that it is completely nonsense. Father does not need to take it to heart."
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." s11();
"If she doesn't die, you die," Chu Shou assisted 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."
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. It was not the daughter-in-law who did it. The daughter-in-law will die and refuse to admit it."
"Father!"
After everyone was startled, they all stepped forward and knelt down, "What's wrong with you?"
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 will be able to escape."
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.
"grandfather!"
"you do not
The cup hit Mrs. Chu.
Fang Yu is the Protector of the Country? Isn’t it right? Doesn’t it mean that there is a person named Fang?
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 crimes he had committed.
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.
