I rely on gossip to save the country

The morning court continued, and civil and military officials continued to discuss state affairs.

When Xie Chuyue thought about how this university scholar dared to openly argue with her, she became furious.

Xie Chuyue suddenly felt that she had just performed poorly, so she complained to the system: [** (System) This Grand Secretary Liu Wei is really too much. Why did he have to argue with me? If I had known that he was here to cause trouble for me, I should have let him be killed by his wife. ]

Civil and Military Officials: This is too vicious! Didn't he just refute you twice? Why did you kill him?

Not only did they kill him, but they also let his wife, with whom he treated each other with great respect, to kill him. How vicious!

After listening to what Xie Chuyue was thinking, Emperor Mingde looked at her with a hint of suspicion. When did this little girl become so violent? Why was she thinking about killing people?

Grand Secretary: I am so angry about this. What does this little ancestor mean? Curse him? But it is wrong to curse him. He and his wife love each other very much. That is why his wife did not kill him.

System: [Host, according to what you said, you should have secretly helped that lady at that time. Maybe that lady would be grateful to her.]

Xie Chuyue: [That makes sense. Next time if I see the wife of a Grand Secretary trying to assassinate the Grand Secretary, I will definitely help her. But then again, this Grand Secretary is too miserable. His wife, who has slept with him for more than ten years, actually wants to kill him. How outrageous! Moreover, she has tried to assassinate him again and again, although she failed every time.]

[I have seen couples who are not in harmony, and I have seen couples who are not familiar with each other, but this couple has a blood feud. This is the first time I have seen it. I have lived long enough to encounter everything.]

Emperor Mingde heard Xie Chuyue’s inner thoughts: ………Can you live as long as me?

Civil and military officials: Yes, yes, yes, the scourge has lasted for thousands of years, but you are the one who has lived the longest, is that okay?

So you encounter all kinds of messy things.

But the Grand Secretary was so shocked by the news that he stood there in a daze.

Then he was filled with anger. This little troublemaker was too abominable. He was about to rush over to argue with Xie Chuyue. But before he could act, the ministers on his left and right saw his intention and quickly suppressed the Grand Secretary. They were listening attentively, so how could they let you ruin it?

System: [Host, this university scholar must have killed his wife's parents under some circumstances. This can't be considered a blood feud, but the revenge for killing one's father is not much different from this blood feud.]

Xie Chuyue: [That was revenge for the murder of my parents, there is no way I would not take revenge. Hey, I was wondering that night, who would dare to assassinate the Grand Secretary? I never thought that in the end I would find out that it was the Grand Secretary's own wife. Moreover, when the Grand Secretary chased after her, the woman pretended to be in love with the Grand Secretary. She was so convincing.]

System: [Host, life is unpredictable, just get used to it! ]

As Xie Chuyue's inner thoughts came out one by one, the Grand Secretary's face became paler and paler, and finally he sat down on the ground with a plop. He was unwilling to believe that it was his wife who committed suicide.

Thinking back, every time he sent people to capture the assassin who was trying to kill him, the assassin would run to his wife's yard, but he never doubted it.

Thinking back on it now, it was extremely terrifying. The assassin, who was a palace guard, had injured her right shoulder a few days ago. A few days ago, he was sleeping with his wife and saw that her right shoulder was injured and bandaged. However, his wife said that she was accidentally scratched by a hairpin.

Everyone was skeptical at first, but after seeing the reaction of the Grand Secretary, they were all shocked. What kind of hatred and grudge was that she even wanted to assassinate her own husband?

Xie Chuyue: [System, I can't figure it out. The Grand Secretary clearly dotes on his wife, how could he not figure it out and kill his wife's parents? Is there a conspiracy here? Are they just pretending to be in love?]

The system also felt that this was unreasonable: [Host, please wait a moment, I will check.]

Civil and Military Officials: The Grand Secretary killed his own father-in-law and mother-in-law? Impossible, why would he kill his own father-in-law and mother-in-law for no reason?

Emperor Mingde and all the civil and military officials were waiting for Xie Chuyue's next words.

Xie Chuyue was also waiting for the system's response. After a while, the system spoke excitedly.

[Host, the wife of the Grand Secretary's surname is Zhou, and her name is Zhou Wan. Zhou Wan is the daughter of the former Minister of Taichang Temple. The former Minister of Taichang Temple was the head of the Nine Ministers and was in charge of the ancestral temple rituals. He had a high status and also supervised culture and education, and was in charge of the Imperial Academy.

An incident happened in the Imperial Academy, which resulted in the Minister of the Ministry of Rites being framed and taking the blame. Without knowing it, the Grand Secretary was used by others to kill his father-in-law's family.

Xie Chuyue: [This Minister of the Ministry of Rites actually took the blame for someone else, and then this Grand Secretary accidentally killed his father-in-law's family? ]

System: [Yes, host. 】

Civil and military officials: They also thought that the former Minister of the Ministry of Rites was an upright person and would not frame the prince, but the evidence was irrefutable and they had no choice. They did not expect that he was framed.

Emperor Mingde also looked gloomy at this time. Who set up this trap? Even he was included in it.

At this time, the Grand Secretary was also lost in his memories. He remembered that when he was in the Imperial College that year, the Second Prince clearly wrote the article with his own talent. However, after checking with the Taichang Temple, it was found that his writing was similar to that of the son of the then Vice Minister of Personnel. At that time, everyone thought that the son of the Minister of Personnel had real talent and knowledge, and everyone believed in the son of the Minister of Personnel. The Second Prince chose to remain silent and did not speak out to defend himself. Everyone thought that the Second Prince had plagiarized.

Later, the emperor did not believe that his second son would plagiarize, so he ordered a thorough investigation. However, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was not optimistic about the boy from the Minister of Personnel's family, so he insisted on finding evidence.

At that time, this was because the commotion was too big and everyone was embarrassed. Everyone thought that the Minister of Personnel was innocent, while the emperor thought that the Second Prince was innocent. Finally, the Grand Secretary suggested that the officials who had taken over the articles at that time be investigated. It was unknown who framed the Minister of Taichang Temple, and it turned out that the Minister of Taichang Temple had tampered with their articles, so the Minister of Taichang Temple was sentenced to death.

Xie Chuyue: [So, after the Taixue incident, Daxue has always felt guilty. He accidentally killed his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he doted on his wife even more. Right? ]

[However, his wife learned at a banquet that it was her husband who advised the emperor to thoroughly investigate the officials who had accepted the article and then find and execute them. Because it was her husband who advised, she suspected that it was her husband, the Grand Secretary, who framed her father and caused the extermination of their Zhou family.]

System: [Yes, host, since then, the wife of the Grand Secretary has been thinking day and night about how to kill her husband to avenge her parents.]

Xie Chuyue: [She is already a secluded girl, how can she know martial arts? ]

System: [Zhou Wan has practiced martial arts since childhood, so he may know some basic skills.]
