The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Zheng Dongqing's legs trembled with fear and he fell to his knees after being hit by the letter.

Emperor Mingde didn't need the other party to say anything. He didn't even bother to look at him and named another person, "Wang Liufang!"

"The old minister is here!" Another minister who had not attended court for a long time came to court.

Emperor Mingde asked, "Have you forgotten the scandal of adultery that spread ten years ago? It caused a great uproar in the city?" He picked up the memorial and threw it at the old man's face. "What qualifications do you have to impeach the upright and capable Lord Gao?"

Wang Liufang lowered his cloudy eyes, knelt down and cried out, "This old minister is innocent. It was not me who did the ugly thing, it was my brother who did it..."

Emperor Mingde laughed in anger, "That's because your family tradition is not upright. Do you want me to list a few scandals in your inner house?"

Don't count them all! Wang Liufang was afraid that Emperor Mingde would dig up something more, so he didn't dare to cry out that he was wronged. After all, his old skin couldn't stand being dug up.

Then Emperor Mingde called out his name, "Liu Zhaoye!"

"I am here, your old minister! Ahem, ahem, ahem..." It's over, it's over, the Emperor has called on me! Liu Zhaoye closed his eyes, kicked his feet, tilted his body, and immediately fainted in the hall.

Didn't you want to make a remonstrance with blood? Didn't you want to hit the pillar? It hasn't even come to that step yet, and you're already scared and fainted? Emperor Mingde secretly cursed, and for the first time, he thought that the Queen Mother's camp was not scary, but full of good-for-nothings.

If I hadn't been so hesitant back then, would I have fewer regrets?

When this thought came to his mind, he shook his head in his heart.

Emperor Mingde knew that if he started a civil war, many people would die. Once the civil war started, it would be the day for other countries to attack.

Now, if it weren't for Cen Yuan and Shi Anxia who were supporting loyal ministers bit by bit and reducing the power of treacherous ministers bit by bit behind the scenes, how could he have the confidence to angrily confront the old ministers who had been receiving salaries for nothing all year round in the court?

Are these old ministers useless?

They are still useful. They have been the foundation of the North Wing for many years.

It is intricate and complex, and a single move can affect the entire body.

If it was just a minor punishment with salary deduction, the officials related to him would just watch.

If we ignore the consequences and directly send him to prison and execute him, the officials involved will be unable to sit still and the entire court will be shaken.

Now is not the time to move, I will endure it! Emperor Mingde was so depressed that he held his anger in his chest.

One day, I will replace all of your dirty blood, leaving not a single drop.

Emperor Mingde ordered the Imperial Hospital to send someone to wake Liu Zhaoye up, and then said, "I ask you..."

Don't ask, I won't impeach you! Liu Zhaoye kowtowed hurriedly, breathing heavily, "Your Majesty, I didn't have time to study yesterday's memorial in detail, so I request that it be withdrawn."

Emperor Mingde threw the memorial in front of him, "You've finished without even examining a single sentence? You've just made empty promises and recklessly exercised your power to impeach a meritorious official of our dynasty. You'll be fined a year's salary! Go and reflect on yourself!"

I wanted to punish him with ten sticks, but how could his old bones withstand one stick? He fainted before he was even hit. He had to ask the imperial hospital to treat his injuries. Isn't it the emperor who suffered the most?

"I obey your order!" Liu Zhaoye rolled over and over. Just as he rolled to the door of the hall, he fell down again.

Fortunately, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau had not left yet and continued to treat the patient.

Liu Zhaoye held the memorial in his hand and looked back at Emperor Mingde who was sitting majestically in the hall. His heart trembled violently.

He was clearly an emperor at the height of his power. How could the Queen Mother fight against the true dragon emperor?

He was on the wrong side! A deep feeling of powerlessness came over him.

This time, Liu Zhaoye really fainted and was carried directly to the Imperial Hospital, where he stayed.

In the Golden Palace, Emperor Mingde continued to call the roll. A group of ministers came out tremblingly and stepped forward to claim their own memorials.

Qiqi was fined one year's salary, and immediately everything quieted down.

Emperor Mingde glanced at the livid faces of the Li family members and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "If I find that they are fabricated again, I will investigate it strictly."

Next, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Mr. Yuan, held a book in his hand and read out the information about Gao Pinyuan's political achievements and deeds that were collected by the officials of the Ministry of Personnel who had gone to Huizhou.

In addition, there is the record of Mrs. Gao's skillful and kind hands, and her ability to quell disasters and epidemics four times.

Although those were just simple words, they deeply impressed and shocked the aspiring officials in the court.

Official A: "Mr. Gao is a role model for our generation of officials!"

Official B: "Madam Gao is a heroine, and she is as good as any man!"

The officials sang praises loudly, suppressing the pedantic and decadent atmosphere just now.

Once the atmosphere was set, Emperor Mingde took the opportunity to confer the title of Lady Anguo on Mrs. Gao Liang in court.

This was the second woman in Beiyi's history who was awarded a title not based on the achievements of her husband or son, and the first woman during Emperor Mingde's reign who was awarded a title based on her own virtue.

The Zhongli Marquis's Mansion turned a disaster into a blessing.

Misfortune is Liang Yanzhi, blessing is Liang Yanbing. The two sisters have the same father and mother, but they are two different extremes.

Lord Zhongli boasted everywhere that his daughter Liang Yanbing still had some of the character he had when he was young.

Everyone just smiled and didn't agree. Seeing through things but not saying them out loud is a good quality of a discerning person.

Some people who were really annoyed by this joked, "Who does your second daughter look like?"

"This..." Lord Zhongli shirked the blame, "She must look like her mother."

But the wife of the Marquis of Zhongli refused to accept it. "My Lord, I don't like what you said. I have raised both of my daughters since they were young. Oh, if they grow up well, it's up to you, and if they grow up badly, it's up to me? Don't you feel guilty for saying this?"

Lord Zhongli didn't feel guilty at all, and snorted coldly, "When you have time, you should take care of your disappointing second daughter! Look at what she looks like!"

What does Liang Yanzhi look like now?

She was divorced and sent back home, where she hid in the yard, not daring to go out, and cried all day long.

None of the sons and daughters she raised in the past remember her as their stepmother.

Her husband, Tang Chuwen, whom she had obtained by all means, spent her dowry on a number of concubines and lived a life of luxury.

The Marquis of Zhongli Mansion did not dare to send anyone to ask for the dowry, because it was indeed a disgrace for the daughter raised by their mansion, who did not take good care of her husband and children, but instead went to her brother-in-law to make trouble.

The more you are at the center of a storm, the more you need to protect your reputation. The Zhongli Marquisate swallowed its anger.

Fortunately, there is another lucky person, Liang Yanbing, who was given the title of Lady Anguo, which is a role model for women.

So did the abandoned woman affect the marriage of the younger generation in the Zhongli Marquis's mansion? No, the Beijing circle is a place that selectively forgets.

In Shi Anxia's words, reputation is nothing but an excuse. When others use reputation to measure you, it must be because you are not valuable enough. As long as you are dazzling enough, those empty stigmas are not worth mentioning.

As the elders from powerful and noble families often say: "The word filial piety weighs down everything."

If you can be crushed, it’s because you are vulnerable; if you can’t be crushed, it means you are strong enough.

The younger generations of the Marquis Zhongli's Mansion are now popular figures in Beijing circles for marriage discussions. Who wouldn't say that the boys and girls raised in the Marquis Zhongli's Mansion are great?

As for the divorced woman Liang Yanzhi, she was gradually forgotten and no one mentioned her.

She kept muttering all day, "You lied to me! You are all lying to me! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

This is later.

When Shi Anxia heard the distorted news about the Zhongli Marquis Mansion, he knew that in this life, because of his rebirth, he had interfered with the life trajectories of others, causing many things to happen ahead of time.

She slowly instructed Bei Hui, "Spread the news that Tang Chuwen divorced his wife and cheated on his sister to the countryside. My grandfather and step-grandmother should know something about it..."
