Chapter 294 You Die
The King of Qi asked, "I don't know what rumors my grandfather heard? However, it's okay for people outside to say anything. His mouth is on others. Who can care what others say? The Chu family cannot be considered arrogant and domineering."
He believes that people outside say that the Chu family is arrogant and domineering, and this has been said for many years, but it is not just now. I am afraid that my grandfather has heard it now, right?
The Chu family is actually really arrogant. How many people outside will shudder when they hear the Chu family?
As if he hadn't heard the words of King Qi, he looked at Mrs. Chu, "Madam, do you know what people outside say?"
Mrs. Chu was named, but she was not afraid. She just smiled and said, "Father, daughter-in-law has never cared about nonsense."
"Yes," Chu Shoufu's eyes looked like a knife and said sternly: "You have never cared about it. If you care, you should know that rumors are like poisonous arrows, which can kill people invisibly."
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, it swept across the city, streets and alleys, and even the inner courtyards of various mansions.
It's no wonder that the protagonist of the rumor is actually the contemporary prime minister, the chief minister Chu who is up to the emperor.
The other one is Madam Xi who has served the Supreme Emperor for the rest of her life. What a great trust and favor that can follow the Supreme Emperor for the rest of her life.
Naturally, this matter has attracted special attention.
The old lady of the Chu family also shook her face and lowered her eyes.
She warned that the old man could take care of all the big things.
But the only thing he touched those three words was his fatal hole, and his relatives refused to recognize him.
She warned that no one could mess with that person.
However, obviously the four words "arrogance" are really right.
They looked down on anyone in their eyes.
Shoufu Chu asked slowly: "Do you know who Fang Yu is?"
His eyes were still looking at Mrs. Chu.
It's true that this is what happened.
Mrs. Chu shook her head, "I don't know."
Many people say they don't know.
However, many people actually know that Fang Yu is the person who rumored outside and had an affair with Madam Xi and was finally executed by the Supreme Emperor.
When the second wife of the Chu family heard the rumors outside and saw that everyone said they didn't know, she said: "Father, Fang Yu, daughter-in-law knows that he had an affair with Madam Xi because of a chaotic palace in the past, and was executed by the Supreme Emperor."
The cold eyes of Chu Shoufu fell on Mrs. Chu Er's face, which scared Mrs. Chu Er so much that she waved her hand quickly, "The daughter-in-law just heard what people outside said, and she didn't know anything."
However, Mrs. Chu didn't like this atmosphere very much. Thinking that her father wouldn't help Madam Xi in front of everyone, she said, "Father, the daughter-in-law has actually heard of what the second wife said. Fang Yu really deserves to die. He dared to hook up with the chief palace maid next to the Supreme Emperor, and was insulting the palace. It deserves to die."
What's the point of defying this kind of thing? People have been dead for so many years. Besides, who would pursue the matter back then?
Many people know what happened when the imperial guard was executed. It was only when it touched the wrath of the Supreme Emperor, and it was killed by the rod.
A man executed by the Supreme Emperor and an old nanny who has been serving in the palace for many years is not worthy of mobilizing such a group of people.
The eyes of Master Chu was filled with shocking rage, but his voice was as steady as a spring water. "Fang Yu, he followed the Emperor at the age of sixteen. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he was named the Imperial Guard. Since his tenure, he has been loyal to the emperor. When the Emperor was in charge, he personally went to the battle. In that tragic battle, I, Xiaoyao Gong, and him, escorted the Emperor to escape from the dead and retrieve the main force. In the end, in that battle, we turned defeat into victory. The day of victory was yesterday twenty-eight years ago."
People from the Chu family rarely hear Chu Shoufu talk about what happened back then.
In this family, Chu Shoufu is not long-winded or repeated, and is simple and clear in his orders, and will not bring up his past in front of his wives, concubines, and descendants.
The people of the Chu family knew that he had been on the battlefield, knew that he had survived from death, and knew that he had made great contributions to the Northern Tang Dynasty, but no one knew about the specific matters.
Now that he heard him talk about the war, everyone held their breath and waited for him to continue, because Fang Yu had protected the Supreme Emperor and saved the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor finally killed him with a stick, which shows how serious the crime he committed.
Chu Shoufu continued: "The year Fang Yu died, twenty-six, and he was younger than several of you here. Not long after the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, there was a ceremony for sacrifices to heaven. The Supreme Emperor went out to inspect two days in advance. Fang Yu followed him as an imperial guard. However, he knew that the Supreme Emperor was traveling by the Thirteenth Master of the rebels that year and sent someone to assassinate. Fang Yu sacrificed his life to protect the Supreme Emperor. After his sacrifice, the Supreme Emperor posthumously named him the Marquis of the Guardian, and he was the first Marquis of the Guardian in our dynasty."
Everyone was shocked.
Fang Yu is the marquis of the country? No, right? Didn’t it mean that a guard named Fang, the imperial guard was killed by a stick because of a chaotic palace?
Mrs. Chu was also a little panicked and hurriedly said, "Is that so? It turns out that he is the Duke of the National Guardian. Why do you say this outside? It can be seen that it is really nonsense, and my father doesn't have to take it to heart."
Shoufu Chu finally picked up the tea placed beside him, raised his head, his eyes flashed like lightning, and a cold flashed, and the cup in his hand flew out.
The cup hit Mrs. Chu.
"grandfather!"
"Father!"
After everyone was shocked, they stepped forward and knelt down, "What's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Chu's face was stiff and embarrassed. The tea cup hit her collarbone. The tea leaked out and flowed down her chest, feeling wet, cold and frozen.
She stared at Shoufu Chu, her tone was stubborn and resentful, "Father, what did your daughter-in-law do wrong? You just say that even if you kill your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law will never complain, but you have to explain why."
The rage in Chu's eyes suddenly burst out and he said sternly: "Because the rumors outside were you who ordered people to spread them, you ordered people to spread rumors. You not only insulted Madam Xi, but also insulted the Duke of the Guardian who saved the life of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor has already known about this and ordered severe punishment. You just said that if you kill you, you have no complaints. You really can't complain. If you don't die, no one in the Chu family can escape."
Only in Mrs. Chu's eyes were filled with panic. However, it was the eldest wife of the Chu family. She had seen big events and experienced storms. She insisted on defending herself and said: "Father, you said that your daughter-in-law is good, but you can't say that your daughter-in-law spreads rumors. Your daughter-in-law has never done this. It was not done by her daughter-in-law, and she would not admit it even if she died."
"You don't need to admit it!" Chu Shoufu's eyes were cold and fell on the face of the old man of the Chu family. "I plan a divorce letter and prepare a poisoned wine. After the divorce letter is finished, I drink her poisoned wine and send the body back to her parents' home."
The old man of the Chu family was panicked and kowtowed, "Father, have you investigated this matter clearly? I'm afraid it's wrong, and even if it's done by her, she won't be punished to death."
