Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1229

As soon as the statement was released, it immediately caused an uproar inside and outside the capital and became another hot topic in the capital.

The "various reasons" mentioned in the statement aroused people's curiosity, and all kinds of speculations and rumors spread.

What is surprising is that this time, very few powerful people pointed fingers and said unpleasant things.

The reason is that some of the powerful and influential people who have always been arrogant and domineering are now unable to take care of themselves.

Some are currently under investigation by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, while others are still waiting for the Dongyu Guard to come and investigate, fearing that their past contacts with the Empress Dowager's party might arouse the emperor's suspicion.

My own life and death are uncertain, so how can I have the mood to watch the fun of others?

As for others, they had discussed this as early as the first half of the year when the Jian'an Marquis Mansion was in the spotlight. They said that the "child-swapping incident" would not eventually die down silently. Which mistress could tolerate her aunt swapping her son for more than ten years?

What's more, this family was involved in a case where an aunt stole the mistress's daughter and sold her.

If it were someone with a strong personality, she would probably turn hostile on the spot. Especially for a noble lady like Tang Chujun, why should she endure unwarranted pain and humiliation?

Of course, most men thought that it was not Shi Chengxuan who did it, so there was no need to scream and make a fuss.

But women don’t think so, especially those who are mistresses, who hate men for talking without any hesitation.

In fact, as long as men pay a little more attention to any matters in the inner house, the phenomenon of favoring concubines over wives will not happen so often.

The fact that a concubine could cause such a big stir only shows that the etiquette and moral standards of this family are in chaos.

In short, this time, unexpectedly, everyone was very tolerant of Tang Chujun and supported her overwhelmingly.

Of course, Emperor Mingde also did his best to protect the little fat boy's beloved treasure.

He thought about it again and again, and first called the Minister of Rites, Lord Peng, to give him a lecture, and asked him to teach his wife in words and deeds to speak in the correct direction when outside.

Then he invited Lord Peng to sit down and drink tea, and he rarely spoke to him from the heart, "If Shi Yunqi hadn't been in mourning, I'm afraid his ranking on the imperial examination would have to be readjusted."

The implication is that as long as Shi Yunqi participates in the palace examination, he will definitely be the top scorer. In short, it is the wrong time to mourn.

This seems to be a matter of calmness and ease, but can it be just a matter of calmness and ease?

Emperor Mingde felt that if Lord Peng couldn't even understand the hidden meaning of this, then he would definitely not be able to do his job as the Shangshu well. It would be better for him to abdicate and let someone who could understand take over.

When many powerful people fell from power, Lord Peng had the opportunity to drink tea and talk with Emperor Mingde, and he almost felt very proud.

After he returned home, he had another round of drinks with his wife, Zhong, and both of them were very happy.

Zhong is a shrewd person with good connections and is able to get along with everyone. He is very popular in the circle of nobles in the capital.

She often leads the topic trend among the wives of high-ranking officials. Of course, this is also due to her comprehensive information collection and her courage to speak and act.

When Zhong heard that she was personally mentioned by Emperor Mingde, she was almost flying, "Really? The emperor really mentioned me?"

Lord Peng nodded and repeated everything Emperor Mingde had said to him.

He didn't understand the main point of Emperor Mingde's words, but he had a good wife! It was enough for his wife to understand.
