"Your Majesty, I want to participate in King Rui's extravagance... This earth movement must be God's warning to King Rui, otherwise why would you choose the day of King Rui's birthday?" Prime Minister Chen counted the countless crimes of King Rui, and finally pushed the earth movement into King Rui's mistake.

The King Rui's face was bloodless and he immediately came out and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am the one who is no longer there..."

"Yes." Before King Rui finished speaking, Emperor Cheng suddenly said, "What Prime Minister Chen said is very true. I am also wrong. King Rui and my compatriots have come out of him, but I don't expect King Rui to not know the emperor's kindness. Now that the genius has given this punishment, do you know your guilt? "

What happened to the earth? In fact, the ministers present understood that it was just a natural disaster. The emperor issued an edict to guilty self-crime, which was a kind of comfort and explanation to the people and aggregation of the people. However, he could not resist the ghost in Emperor Cheng's heart and even pushed all the responsibility to King Rui.

Although King Rui was a little confused, he had never made any big mistakes, but he was incomparable to Prime Minister Chen.

After understanding the meaning of Emperor Cheng, a few more ministers came out, all of whom were from King Chanrui. The rest looked at each other, sighing in their hearts but no one said anything.

"For the sake of his own selfishness, King Chanrui actually abandoned the border and comforted him and insisted on summoning Yongning Bo back to the capital. If the barbarians invade at this time, what should the people on the border be there? This is a great evil."

"I am glad to be beautiful women, so I am the one who is the one who works on the top and the bottom..."

"My dear King Chanrui made a large-scale construction in his mansion and plundered the people..."

"I am the King of Rui..."

This was really a wall that fell and everyone pushed it. One by one, the blame was placed on King Rui. Even his lateness and retreating early became a rebellious thing that ignored the lives and deaths of the people. It was not mentioned that King Rui had no real power at all, and even if he did not go, it would not have any effect.

Emperor Cheng gradually felt relieved. King Rui's clothes kneeling on the ground were soaked in cold sweat, his face was bloodless...

"Good eloquence." Chu Xiuming suddenly spoke coldly, "Everyone really has the ability to make the dead live."

"Yongning Bo, what do you mean?" A young official jumped out and pointed at Chu Xiuming and said, "Is it possible that Yongning Bo, who wants to be inseparable from public and private affairs, is that King Rui is so guilty..."

"Oh? What should King Rui be guilty of?" Chu Xiuming asked back.

"We must punish severely to be worthy of the people in the world." The man said with a proud look on his face, "Was Yongning Bo trying to protect King Rui?"

Chu Xiuming said calmly, "Since such a crime is unforgivable, then kill the nine clans? If you are not satisfied, you will not be able to break the ten clans."

The man was about to say something and suddenly thought of King Rui's identity. He glanced at Emperor Cheng and saw that Emperor Cheng was full of color and was full of displeasure. Chu Xiuming's attitude was very plain, as if he was talking about something irrelevant, "What do you think of Your Majesty?"

"Yongning Bo is so brave." Prime Minister Chen angrily rebuked, "Your Majesty dares to talk nonsense in front of you, but your Majesty still has your eyes."

Yongning Boli ignored Prime Minister Chen and said bluntly, "Now the people in Shu are suffering, but they don't know what the disaster is. What about the subsequent rescue arrangements? What about the food and grass required for disaster relief? You are holding the salary of the court, but you don't know how to share your worries. Instead, you are determined to shirke the responsibility. It's ridiculous."

The Minister of War stood up and said, "I think what Yongning Bo said is very true."

The Minister of Works also stood up and said, "I will discuss it."

King Rui felt moved, Yongle Hou was also present, and he often ate and had wine and played with him, but now he didn't dare to say a word, but Chu Xiuming stood up directly.

Emperor Cheng was full of anger, and he felt that Chu Xiuming was born against him, and said sternly, "Chu Xiuming, do you think I dare not kill you?"

When King Rui heard this, he was shocked and said, "Your Majesty!"

As soon as Emperor Cheng said this, he would not say that King Rui was even other ministers, and he would not be ready to stand by again. The young official questioned by Chu Xiuming was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, please punish Yongning Bo for his crimes, he..."

"Shut up." The Minister of Rites kicked the man in the back, kicked him down, and then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the villain's nonsense. Yongning Bo is just worried about the people in Shu."

The Minister of Rites was an old minister of two dynasties and had been retiring several times. Emperor Cheng did not allow him to just keep him to show his respect for the late emperor and make a decoration. He also knew it very well and rarely spoke. Who would have thought that he would be able to strengthen his legs and feet quickly? This kick was not light.

Another old minister also asked, "The Chu family and the country are the same leader, and have been stationed in the border for generations. There are few Chu family men who have died well. Many of their bodies are left on the battlefield and cannot be retrieved. Those tombs... Your Majesty, do you say this to make the hearts of the people of the world cold?"

Although King Rui was Emperor Cheng's younger brother, he did not do much, so he was criticized. Few people came out to reason with him. Moreover, they all knew that Emperor Cheng would not take King Rui's life. They only remembered that Chu Xiuming was King Rui's son-in-law. If he didn't stand up, he would probably be despised by many people.

Chu Xiuming knelt down and said, "I dare not."

King Rui looked up at Emperor Cheng. Incompetent and incompetent was the reason for his survival. Now it became the reason for his crime. King Rui understood in his heart that Emperor Cheng was unwilling to issue an edict to commit crimes, so he had to find someone to come out to push the jar. It happened that the earth was on his birthday. Even if he didn't recognize it, he was afraid that it would not be involved in the Rui Palace in the future, and he could not implicate Chu Xiuming. As long as Chu Xiuming is still the son-in-law of the Rui Palace, no one dared to neglect the family in the mansion. Besides, Emperor Cheng would not take his younger brother's life, and he would keep him showing kindness. King Rui gritted his teeth and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

At this time, confessing his guilt was a step to Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng felt relieved, but he was even more wary of Chu Xiuming. He never thought that so many people would come out to speak for Chu Xiuming. What's more, even the ministers he promoted did not listen to him. Many people felt a little sympathetic to King Rui. If you do something like this on a birthday, you still have to...

However, this is also the royal family's own business. I'm afraid that Emperor Cheng had already committed suicide by speaking to Chu Xiuming. At this time, he stopped talking, and Chu Xiuming stopped talking.

"The people who were anxious to suffer just now have spoken more seriously. Yongning Bo should not be surprised." Emperor Cheng said with a distorted expression in his hatred and humiliation.

Emperor Cheng thought that this sentence would make the ministers feel generous, but he didn't know that these people had a scale in their hearts. If Emperor Cheng really ignored everyone's stop and killed Chu Xiuming, they might even look down on Emperor Cheng. Everyone knows that Emperor Cheng is afraid of Chu Xiuming and can take the opportunity to kill someone and then pour dirty water on Chu Xiuming, which is also decisive and cruel, but...

"I don't dare." Chu Xiuming did not refuse to give in.

Emperor Cheng then nodded, "Get up, since King Rui has pleaded guilty, he dragged him to the palace gate to beat the thirty boards, imprisoned him in the sect's mansion, and all the crimes are reported to the world."

King Rui lowered his head and said, "I obey the order."

The palace guards came in soon. King Rui did not use anyone to pull him. He stood up on his own initiative, looked at Chu Xiuming and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to speak again before leaving.

Emperor Cheng then continued, "Select..." One by one, the official positions were read out, and they had just stood up to accuse King Rui. It was not even necessary to guess that they were all Emperor Cheng's confidants, "Prime Minister Chen was responsible for disaster relief."

"I obey the order." Everyone knelt on the ground to receive the order.

The incident of King Rui being beaten and locked up soon spread throughout the palace. Even under the instructions of Emperor Cheng, various news began to spread in the capital. The blame for the earth was caused by King Rui. The reputation of the Prince Rui's Mansion fell to the bottom for a while, and even the families on duty in Prince Rui's Mansion were beaten by many angry people.

In the Buddhist temple in the palace, the Empress Dowager heard the palace maid and said, "Go out." Her face was calm and she didn't say anything more.

The palace maid stepped down and said to the nanny who had been with the Empress Dowager, "The Empress Dowager..."

The Buddhist beads in the empress dowager's hand were torn off, "It's all my sins... This is retribution! Retribution!"

The nanny quickly said, "Empress Dowager, King Rui is His Majesty's younger brother, so there will be no trouble."

The Empress Dowager stopped talking, closed her eyes and looked older, and said, "Don't clean up, Princess Chongrui..."

"Yes." The nanny wrote down one by one.

In the Rui Prince's Mansion, Princess Rui waved after hearing the news and said, "I understand."

Cuixi looked at Princess Rui with some concern. Princess Rui had no expression and said, "Cuixi passed on it. If I hear someone in the mansion talking nonsense, I will throw it directly onto the village. Regardless of life and death, I will punish you severely if there is any mistake."

"Yes." Cuixi responded congratulations.

Princess Rui looked at Concubine Chen and said, "Sister Chen, please be careful of Li. I'll go pack up my things. Xuan'er, you go and send them to the prince later. I've asked someone to clean up some food. Xi'er, take the guards in the mansion to your third sister's house, and ask her not to worry about it and not to use it in the mansion. When your third brother-in-law comes back, he will return home. He will take Shen Rong and his brother to my room and let the maids and mother-in-law be in jail. But don't ask them to walk around at will, and they are injured."

The affairs in the mansion were placed one by one by Princess Rui, and the hearts of the people were quickly stabilized.

When Chen Qi heard the news, he changed his face. He suddenly stood up and looked at Prince Yongle and said, "Impossible."

Prince Yongle Hou didn't know how to comfort him. He came back and told his wife when he got the news, "I have asked someone to go to the notice board to guard it. If the news is really posted... don't worry too much. Why don't I accompany you back to the house to visit my mother-in-law?"

Chen Qi said, "Okay."

Prince Yongle Hou said, "Then I..."

"Criminal, my wife calls you to come over." The big maid next to Mrs. Yongle Hou ran quickly and said.

Prince Yongle Hou said, "I understand."

Chen Qi pursed his lower lip and tightened his hand with his hand clasped. Prince Yongle Hou looked at Chen Qi and said, "I'll go to my mother's place first. You can clean up and I'll come over immediately."

"Okay." Chen Qi responded, and there was no sign of emotion on his face at that time.

Prince Yongle Hou hurriedly followed the maid to the main courtyard. Chen Qi said, "Shuangqiao, we'll go back after packing up our things."

"Yes." Shuangqiao responded.

"Carry more, I'll stay in the palace for a while." Chen Qi gritted his teeth and said.

Shuang Qiao paused for a moment before saying, "That prince..."

"No need to deal with the prince." Chen Qi was worried about his father's affairs at this time, but also felt a little discouraged. "Please take all the silver notes for my dowry and the land deeds."

"Yes." Shuang Qiao saw that Chen Qi had made up her mind and stopped asking. She took the little maid to clean up her things, but the money and other things did not get the little maid to get involved.

Chen Qi sat on the chair, but his eyes were looking at the door. Time passed slowly and the sky gradually darkened, but there was no trace of Prince Yongle Hou. Chen Qi's heart was a little cold. Shuang Qiao had already packed up the things and asked the maid to carry the box to the car first, then held the small wooden box himself, and said hesitantly, "Madam, why not wait a little?"

"Let's go." Chen Qi stood up, took the cloak beside him and put it on himself, and walked outside with Shuang Qiao.

After leaving the yard, I saw the maid who had just called Prince Yongle to leave and said, "Mrs. Young Madam, the lady is not in good condition and keeps the prince to serve her. The lady knew that the young lady was going back to her parents' home, so she asked me to send some silver." As she said that, she held two silver notes in her hands.

Shuangqiao looked at Chen Qi, and Chen Qi said expressionlessly, "Take it."

"Yes." Shuangqiao stepped forward to take it, glanced at the silver bill of one hundred taels, and she felt hatred and angry. When she couldn't help but handed it to Chen Qi with red eyes, she didn't even dare to look up.

Chen Qi took it, glanced at it and said with a smile, "Thank you Mrs. Yongle for me." Then he threw away the two silver notes and "I'll reward you." This was said to the big maid next to Mrs. Yongle, and then got on the carriage without looking back.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Qi could no longer help crying. Shuang Qiao sat beside her but didn't know how to comfort her. Chen Qi covered her face with a veil and said, "I have always been better than my sisters in my life, but there is one thing but..."

She didn't finish her words, but she understood the meaning very clearly. The man she married in this life was not as good as the person Chen Jin married.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Shuangqiao opened the car door and was about to ask, when she saw Prince Yongle Hou's face was covered in sweat and was about to get on the car. She shouted happily in her heart, "Criminal, Prince is here."

Chen Qi's crying stopped. He took off his handkerchief in disbelief and looked at Chu Yuhong who was on the carriage foolishly. He threw himself into his arms and cried, "Why did you come?"

Shuangqiao got off the carriage quietly, and then told the coachman to continue on the road. He went to the carriage behind and sat down, feeling a little more joy.

In Yongning Bo’s Mansion, Madam Zhao and the others also received news, but looking at Chen Jin who was not sleeping soundly, hesitated in his heart. Madam Zhao said, "It’s useless for Madam to go at this time. Let Madam rest for a while."

Prince Rui's mansion looked at her daughter and son-in-law who was coming, Princess Rui frowned and said, "Nothing."

Chen Qi had just cried and his eyes were still swollen and said, "Mother, what's wrong with the father?"

Princess Rui asked someone to hit Chen Qi with a clean face and said, "Nothing is wrong, no need to worry."

Chen Qi wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Prince Yongle Hou. He said, "If you have any use for your son-in-law, just speak."

Princess Rui sighed and said, "I just moved the ground, I'm afraid the mansion is not stable, and it's Qi'er's nonsense."

Prince Yongle Hou said, "Mother-in-law doesn't need to be like this. She has a younger brother at home, I..."

"Silly words." Princess Rui interrupted Prince Yongle Hou's words, "You are the prince. When the marquis is not here, you should be in charge of the mansion."

Prince Yongle Hou was stunned for a moment, and realized what Princess Rui said, knowing that this was a brand new consideration for himself. He was not stable enough for a while and his position was not stable enough. At this time, it would be wrong to stop the overall situation in the mansion and increase his prestige. If he had to let his younger brothers... just look at his wife, he would feel a little hesitant.
To be continued...
