Chapter Eighty-Eighth

Zhu Youlang rarely held court meetings, and even under the urgent situation of the Qing army besieging Guangzhou, he did not hold court meetings.

He thought that there was no need to hold such a large-scale meeting.

One reason is that there is no need to brainstorm many things. You can basically decide after discussing with the cabinet. The people below just need to implement them.

Of course, he is not blocking the way of speaking. Anyone who has insightful opinions or disagrees can fully express his views in the comments.

The second reason is that he believes that holding large-scale meetings is a waste of time. If there is a consensus, it would be fine. If there is a disagreement, and the quarrel in the Golden Palace is like a vegetable market, how can it be?

Many officials were very surprised and looked forward to the imperial meeting so far. I wonder what state affairs the emperor had to discuss.

What everyone unexpectedly thought was that the emperor convened a court meeting for a small matter, and it was a family matter of the other person's servant.

Sensitive people realized that the emperor was supporting Chongxin Temple and creating an atmosphere for women's liberation. This was not a trivial matter.

After most officials learned the truth, they felt that the emperor and Qin Liangyu had a little bit of a big deal.

Isn’t it just to drive one of Hou Xueshi’s concubines to live outside the city? What a big deal? Which mansion does not have such a thing? In the root of this, the concubines are like slaves and cannot be on the table at all. If they can’t go outside the city, how can they do it? Do you still have to support them as grandma?

Of course, these people had such thoughts in their minds, but no one stood up for Hou Xun. Everyone was thinking about watching the fun and was paying attention to the debate between Qin Liangyu and Hou Xun.

Qin Liangyu is certainly not an ordinary woman, just like chili peppers, the older she gets, the more spicy she gets. Hou Xun is also a person who has been in prison for ten years, with a strong temperament and a strong old age.

These two people will definitely have a good show when they meet.

The same person who was holding on to watching the fun was also the lofty Emperor Zhu Youlang.

"Hou Aiqing, Qin Aiqing participated in your abuse of your concubine Wu, and he drove her out of the house despite her pregnancy. He was unkind and abused the law. What do you have to say?" Zhu Youlang spoke and presided over the debate.

Hou Xun stuttered his neck and said in a deep voice: "Go back to Your Majesty, the affairs of Wu are the family affairs of the ministers, and the Qianqing Palace is the place to discuss politics. I think it is inappropriate for the Qin Marquis to report the affairs of his ministers to the Jin Palace."

The words mean that Qin Liangyu is blamed for being troublesome and the emperor for making a big fuss.

"Mr. Hou, I believe you know what Chongxin Temple does. I think you should be clear. I should be the one who impeached you. Don't avoid the important things. If you want to get away with it, don't think about it!" Qin Liangyu was not afraid at all when facing so many officials, and then stood up and retorted.

"The old lady is afraid she is not Hou Xun's opponent." When Zhu Youlang heard this, although Qin Liangyu's voice was very high and his momentum was very strong, he couldn't help but worry for her without saying the rebuttal words.

At this moment, a crisp female voice sounded, but it was Dong Qiongying, the young minister of Chongxin Temple, who stood up to help the boxing.

"Mr. Hou, women's liberation is the major policy of the country. Your Majesty has already ordered this. Although it is your family matter, it involves major policies. What is wrong with you?"

"That's right, Lord Hou is a scholar. You should know that you are worthy of heaven and earth. What can't be said to the public? Is there anything you can't say to others?" Qin Liangyu continued Dong Qiongying's words and quickly made up for the loopholes in his previous words.

When Zhu Youlang heard Dong Qiongying's words, he immediately felt relieved and decided not to speak for the time being, and to see how the two female generals fought against the learned scholars with silver hair.

Hou Xun was stunned by Dong Qiongying's confrontation and thought to himself: "Okay, it's not simple. You know how to pull the tiger's skin as a banner and lift the emperor out?"

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Dong, two new leaders of Chongxin Temple, are eager to make contributions, and the officials are clear. But there is something unknown to the officials. What is wrong with the officials dealing with Wu? I just asked her to move out of the mansion and live outside the city, so how could there be a saying of abuse?"

"Is it not to drive her out of the Hou's Mansion to drive her out of the Hou's Mansion? For a woman, how different is this from giving up? May I ask Mr. Hou, which of Wu's seven crimes did he commit?" Qin Liangyu asked in an aggressive tone.

She didn't know that there was a loophole in this sentence and was soon caught by Hou Xun.

"Mr. Qin, Wu is not my wife of the Marquis' family, so why do you talk about the 'seven-out'? Could it be the rules of the Marquis' family that you also say 'seven-out' to your concubines? Oh, the official understands it. Ma Xuanwei has never taken a concubine in the first place. I guess there is a difference between the Marquis." Hou Xun smiled and stroked his beard and said lightly.

As soon as Hou Xun said this, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became condensed.

This sentence is too ruthless!

Your husband has never taken a concubine, so you don’t understand. What’s the difference between this and directly calling Qin Liangyu a tigress?

"Qin Liangyu is brave, but he is not the opponent of Hou Xun, who is thoughtful." Zhu Youlang sighed in his heart when he heard this.

"It is the responsibility of women to take care of their husbands and children. Women are simply overestimating their abilities when discussing politics! Qin Liangyu, you have achieved success and fame, can't you enjoy the peace and happiness well? Why do you make people laugh at when you enter the court as an official?" This is the idea of ​​a conservative minister.

"No, why did Mr. Qin show such a big flaw? Now, Hou Xun counterattacks. Although she is aggressive, she is irresistible." This is the idea of ​​Huang Zongxi and other people in the Dingxin School.

Everyone had their own confidants and focused their attention on Qin Liangyu to see how she dealt with it next.

"Hey, you old monkey, dare you humiliate your husband. Do you believe me or not to use a crutch to suck you with a crutch?" Qin Liangyu was furious and raised the crutch in his hand to curse Hou Xun.

Everyone in the palace, including Zhu Youlang, never expected Qin Liangyu to suddenly make a fuss.

Didn’t Hou Xun mean that Ma Qiancheng didn’t take a concubine? Why did it become a humiliation of him?

Everyone is decent, why did they move crutches as they say? Is this too martial?

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin roared at the Golden Palace, insulted and tried to beat the ministers. It was inappropriate. Please punish Your Majesty!" Hou Xun, who was scolded as "Old Monkey", was arrested and quickly fell to the ground, shouting for justice and grievance.

"Hou Aiqing, the crutches in Qin Aiqing's hand were given by the Queen Mother, and I can't do anything about her."

Zhu Youlang's words are true. Qin Liangyu's crutch in his hand is very long and there is a dragon head on it, which was given by Empress Dowager Ma.

When Hou Xun heard this, he secretly complained: "This is not good. If Qin Liangyu put on a few crutches, it would be useless if he hit him."

He stood up and bowed to Qin Liangyu: "Mr. Marquis, the official has no intention of offending Ma Xuan to comfort the envoy, and ask the Marquis to calm his anger."

"It's okay." Qin Liangyu saw Hou Xun apologizing, and then calmed down his anger. He put down his crutch and looked at Zhu Youlang proudly.

"Mr. Marquis, what the official said is that the concubines do not take the 'seven-out order', but I don't know how the Marquis explains it. I also ask the Marquis to teach me."
