The Chu family is still volatile.

Mrs. Chu voluntarily moved to Yuemei Temple, but the old lady was unwilling to go back.

She was very angry when she saw the Chu family being resentful and was very angry. She was a majestic existence in this mansion and she could not be seized from power like this.

So, she summoned the elders of the Chu family from the older generation to come forward and went to the Chu family to "public trial" of Chu Shoufu.

Everyone in the Chu family respects this old lady very much.

From young to old age, she supported the entire family's inner courtyard with one hand. Whenever something happened to anyone, she would come forward to settle it.

It can be said that even the eldest princess is not as powerful as her in the capital.

She protects her shortcomings.

She protects all the people from the Chu family, whether they are from her or not.

No matter what happened to the Chu family, she could take care of it.

A few years ago, she had an incompetent grandson who beat someone to death outside. The man wanted to go to the yamen to sue him. She came forward to suppress him. Not only did she not compensate a penny, but she also asked the family members of the deceased to apologize to her, saying that they had hurt her Chu family's face.

In this case, the victim's family could only admit that the deceased had fallen to death by himself. He was afraid that the Chu family would be retaliated and left the capital overnight.

These things are done without any leakage, and naturally there is no news outside.

The old lady enjoyed such honor and worshipped by her nephews. Every year on her birthday, she returned to the mansion and looked at the black heads kneeling under her. Everyone said extremely auspicious words, and she felt happy.

The old lady's half-life glory was used to the noisy life. Even in Yuemei Temple, the house was lively every day. The noble ladies in the capital and the younger ladies of the Chu family also visited each other a few days ago and sent them all.

For those people, Yuemei'an has a god, and this god is the old lady.

If you have something to come and worship, it is more effective than praying to God and Buddha.

But now, in Chu's mansion, even the people under her knees are disappointed with her.

She is no longer the ancestor who turns the tide.

She is no longer the decisive parents.

She couldn't stand it.

Therefore, it is imperative to gather elders in the clan.

The elders in the clan gathered together because of her summons.

Everyone has heard about Mrs. Chu and is shocked. Didn’t it just a few words from the Duke of Guard and the old palace maid? Why did he have to be executed? The Supreme Emperor doesn’t take the Chu family seriously?

The old man of the Chu family was kicked out and he has not been able to enter the house yet. This incident has also caused everyone to be indignant. The old man is the eldest son of the legitimate family, so how can he stay outside?

You said, I despised Shoufu Chu's heartlessness.

When the Master Chu came in, the atmosphere was already very intense and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

Chu Shoufu's second uncle stood up, pointed at Chu Shoufu and angrily scolded, "You are now in a high position and powerful position, why have you forgotten your filial piety? What you have done recently has made our Chu family look dull. Now everyone outside thinks that our Chu family is weak and can be bullied. If this continues, the prestige of the Chu family will be defeated by you sooner or later."

The second uncle of the Chu family was originally sitting on the main seat with the old lady. Now that he stood up, the Shoufu Chu sat directly in his seat.

He looked at everyone coldly. He heard the fervent criticism here just before entering the door. Now that he sat down, no one was talking.

Shoufu Chu looked at the old lady, "Mom is doing this well. You invited everyone to come here, so that I can notify you again. I just happened to say something in front of everyone."

The old lady was still angry, but after hearing this, she felt something was wrong and said sternly: "Don't worry, there are people older than you here, so you can hear what they say first."

Chu Shoufu, his hands were wrapped in his sleeves, looked around the crowd coldly, and said, "No need, I have only a few words. Today, everyone is not distinguishing between superiors and inferiority. After all, those who are older than me are not as white as me, and whoever is comfortable and laboring is obvious at a glance. From today on, any descendants of my surname Chu who are in the court must be assessed by the Ministry of Personnel in the same way as other officials. Anyone who fails to assess will be screened out and put out the papers and beds, which is absolutely unpleasant."

As soon as these words came out, the entire inner hall looked like a pot of boiled boiling water.

There are people in each house of the Chu family who serve in the court again, and there are many pillars in the court, who are also truly talented. Of course, these people were also promoted by Chu Shoufu. The big tree of the Chu family is so deeply rooted not because of the old lady's versatile ability, but because of the influence of Chu Shoufu's power.

There are also some officials of the Chu family who are in vain and have sex in major yamen. They are a little famous and powerful, but their salary is not rare.

There are few people who are truly capable in Chu. All this depends on the old lady's pampering and indulgence.

"Chu Da, you can't do this. The assessment of the Ministry of Personnel is now annual and very strict..."

"Yes, Chu Da, let's discuss this matter again. Although the court needs to assess it, you have been taking care of it for so many years..."

All the so-called elders who were still very arrogant just now started to whisper.

The old lady's face was as dead as ashes, withered.

She stared at Chu Shoufu tightly, knowing that his son is better than his mother. She knew what he was doing. With one sentence, he strangled the lifeline of these people and told them to know who is the master of the Chu family today.

Chu Shoufu didn't care whether these people were begging or being angry or angry. He had finished speaking and got up and left.

Everyone in the court knew that Chu Shoufu was efficient regardless of his words and actions, and he would not spend more time on his lips.

Many people in the court were afraid of Chu's assistant. The Chu family members, but because of his surname, Chu, they forgot his identity as Chu and forgot their awe of him.

The old lady sat down blankly, looking at his back and left resolutely. Her ears were full of complaints from these people, saying that she shouldn't come today, and that she caused disaster for no reason.

She stood up slowly, feeling that her heart was filled with ashes, and even her body was ashes. It seemed that when she stepped out, she would be blown away by the wind.

She didn't understand what he was thinking. The Chu family was at its peak, so why did he destroy his foundation?

There was a conversation between mother and son late at night.

It is also in this huge inner hall of the Chu family that the flat forehead has been hung up again, and the words "Guipu Shouzhu" are still the four words.

Both mother and son sat on the main seat, one left and one right, like two statues.

However, the son has white hair and the mother has gray hair.

She has been honored for a lifetime and never thought that she would be in such a state in her later years.

Silence spread between mother and son, as if no one was willing to open his mouth first.

Outside, there is also a dead silence. The Chu Mansion, which used to be lively, is now like a dead castle.

Mrs. Chu’s funeral was not held here, and the body was sent back to her parents’ home. This was the decision of the old lady. The Chu family could not have a daughter-in-law who was executed.

Although there were complaints from Mrs. Chu’s parents’ family, no one dared to disobey the old lady’s orders.

She thought she had a word and thought she had made decisions, but she forgot that no one would be afraid of an old princess. They feared her because her son was the chief minister of the dynasty, and the second in command of the Northern Tang Dynasty who had been in the entire officialdom when she was young.
