Chapter 259: The old events in the Duke of Lu’s mansion
As a result, Duke Lu was in trouble.
His Majesty the Emperor called the Duke of Lu to the palace on the grounds that he was incompetent in educating his children and was competing with the people for profit. He gave him such a strong warning that the Duke of Lu knelt in the Jinluan Hall and trembled.
You must know that the Yuan Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a horse emperor who fought bloody battles on the battlefield.
He has an impatient temper and does not mince words or hide his emotions. Therefore, if he gets angry, no one in the court will be afraid of him except Song Yuanqing, the eldest son of Shunyi Marquis Mansion.
What can Cheng Min do? The eldest son of a common concubine has caused a huge disaster for him. He can only kneel on the ground and apologize tremblingly. There is no other way.
His Majesty the Emperor gave him a warning, but did not do anything too hard for him. Instead, he fined him half a year's salary, went home to straighten out the rules, and sent the eldest son back to his ancestral home to guard the tomb of his ancestors.
Once the imperial edict was issued, the whole world was in uproar.
No one would have thought that Lu Guogong, an old cunning man who usually did not cause trouble, would fall into trouble with his eldest son.
Although everyone did not understand the actual situation, the Duke of Lu was punished by the emperor because of his concubine's eldest son. What does this mean?
This shows that the Duke of Lu was smart all his life, but was confused for a while. He spoiled his eldest son, a concubine, to the point where he lost sight of royal law and acted erratically. His majesty even found out about it and had him punished.
Duke Cheng Min of the State of Lu spent his life as a soldier and lived cautiously under the eyes of the emperor for half his life. However, he never thought that his eldest son, Cheng Yiming, would ruin his reputation. The nameless fire in his heart was about to burst out of his head.
He returned to the house angrily and furiously, and Xue Rong, the wife of Lu Guogong, came out with a look of sorrow and anger, "Master Guo, what is going on? This is so good, how come..."
Duke Lu Guo had a dark face and waved his hands, "Go back to Huating and talk."
The couple entered Huating one after another.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, the maids, wives, and servants all hurried out.
In the Huating, only the Duke of Lu and his wife were left. They looked at each other and sighed.
Mrs. Lu Guogong suppressed her anger and said in a calm voice, "Cheng Yiming went to Yong'an County, knowing that our third son was going to barter there to get the white jade tofu recipe, but he... actually did this.
It’s no wonder that His Majesty...Long Yan was furious."
As a concubine, at best, you are the master and young master of the house, but at worst, you are half slave and half master. I have given you face, so you must know how to be grateful and sensible.
But now, Cheng Yiming has not suffered any grievances in these years, and the government has always called him the eldest son respectfully. Has he forgotten his identity?
As a result, despite being given respect and status by others, he himself failed to live up to the expectations.
All Cheng Yizhi's actions in Yong'an County were well known to the Duke of Lu, so he wanted to use the shops in Xiangshui Town and the barren mountains of Yong'an County to exchange for the white jade tofu recipe. Two people in the Duke of Lu's Palace
The big guys in power know it.
At that time, Duke Cheng Min and Cheng Shengtai of the State of Lu did not take it seriously.
He could do whatever he wanted with his son's things, as long as they didn't bring trouble to the house.
But who would have thought that the matter of the third child was not a big deal at first, but it would actually arouse the jealousy of the boss, who directly used dirty tricks to stab Mr. Song in the lungs.
In Huating, the Duke of Lu looked gloomy and terrible. He wanted to say something, but his wife looked at him with resentment. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
It is a fact that he loves his eldest son more than his legitimate son and daughter. Now that he has caused a big disaster, he was rejected by the emperor and sent directly to the countryside of his ancestral home. He is not allowed to return to the capital without any purpose. This... he really feels sorry for him, and
I don't dare to complain anymore.
There is no peace in the family, and there is no distinction between concubines and concubines. This is a taboo for officials.
Even the Duke of Lu could imagine that in less than two days, there would be overwhelming accusations of impeachment against him.
The spitting stars of the censors can spray him to death.
"Uh... Your Majesty, we... just follow the order." Cheng Shengtai muttered without confidence, "Just watch and clean it up for him."
In fact, the meaning of Duke Cheng Shengtai's words was very clear to Mrs. Duke Lu. This was because he wanted her to treat this beast as her own as usual and take care of everything for him.
Mrs. Lu Guogong was filled with anger and could no longer hold back. She shouted loudly, "Cheng Min, Cheng Shengtai, how can you bully others? Ah? Do I owe you my life or my money? I let you humiliate me like this?"
"
Cheng Shengtai has been married to Lu Guogong's wife for so many years. They have been a couple in troubled times through wind and rain. He has never seen her so angry. He was stunned for a moment, "Madam, you...why are you doing this?"
Mrs. Lu Guogong was furious and said sarcastically, "Why me? Why do you think I am? Ah? You raised such a son, but you asked me to accommodate him everywhere? Am I not his elder, but his second sister-in-law?"
Cheng Shengtai, your son bullied my son and used this trick to ruin my son's reputation. How come your Majesty punished him and you still feel you have wronged him? You also want me to pay him to take care of everything. Isn't that right?
What are you doing bullying people for?"
As soon as Mrs. Lu Guogong finished her scolding, she heard someone crying outside Huating. She answered sadly, "Sister, you can't say that. Anyway, Yi Ming... is also your son. His name is
Don’t you call me mother?”
The Duke of Lu's wife refused to listen. When she heard that the women outside were getting advantage, she became even more angry. She looked at the Duke of Lu and said angrily, "Okay, that's very good.
This family... It seems that the rules set by the Duke of the State are really good. Even a concubine can take care of the affairs between us husband and wife. Lord of the State, do you want me to invite you to come down to the court?
Do you want to make room so that you, your husband and wife in need, can be reunited?"
Mrs. Lu Guogong said the word "couple in need" very hard, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her face was as heavy as water.
As for the concubine outside the door, she didn't even answer.
She is a dignified wife, a second-rank imperial concubine, so she would not lower her status to talk to her and waste saliva for the sake of a cheap concubine.
When Duke Cheng Shengtai of the State of Lu heard this, his face turned darker.
The words "couple in need" were like a knife, piercing his heart so hard that the little love he had for his concubine's eldest son was gone.
If he hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time and my mother gave him her own niece as a concubine while he was recuperating in the rear in order to keep a wife for the Cheng family, how could he have had his eldest son just a month after his wife returned home?
existence?
At that time, his mother got him drunk with medicine and wine, and then sent her cousin Xie Qing to her bed while the newlywed daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home to live in the same month.
When he was drunk, he thought it was his wife who had come back, and... it turned out to be a big mistake.
Later, after the concubine's eldest son was born, he took his wife and left home.
It was not until the new dynasty was established and he had a legitimate son and daughter that he brought his cousin Xie Qing and his eldest son Cheng Yiming to his side.
His mother died of illness not long after she returned to the Duke of Lu's palace in the capital.
But Duke Cheng Shengtai of the State of Lu knew very well about this unforgettable hatred, and his wife had never forgotten it.
