Chapter 665 What’s not in compliance?
Meanwhile, Su Yueyao in the mansion did not hear any news, nor did she pay attention to the rumors from outside. She waited until the evening when Xingchen, Yiyang and the eldest prince brought back evidence.
"Your Highness, have you really found the tribute that was swapped?" Su Yueyao asked excitedly.
"Found it. My dear wife, can you guess where we found it?" The eldest prince asked with a smile, hugging Su Yueyao's waist.
"Could it be in the secret passage?" Su Yueyao said after thinking for a while.
"My wife is really smart. She is indeed in the secret passage, near the cold palace."
"The corpse of the eunuch who checked the tribute has also been found, but the eunuch who had been following him is still alive. He has testimony to prove that the tribute items submitted by the Pei family were all high-quality goods, and none of them were of inferior quality."
"Who did this in the palace?"
"He was buried in the palace by Queen Feng. He is also considered a member of the Li family. The Jin family is the hidden agent behind the scenes fanning the flames." Cui Yiyang said.
"Who did it to find the things in the Pei family?"
"My wife is from the second branch of the Pei family. The witnesses and evidence have been sent to Master Chen of the Dali Temple. I think everyone from the second branch of the Pei family is in jail now!"
"The head of the second branch of the Pei family was instructed by the Jin family to have the two new brothers adopted by Lady Pei make copies of Lady Pei's private seal and successfully arrange for people to place some inferior tributes." Xingchen said.
"Weren't there four servants at the time?"
“Those four servants were not involved in this incident, but there are people behind them who want to bury the Pei family.” Xingchen continued.
"..."
"Didn't the Jin family just become the prime minister? They are targeting me!"
"It's because of my wife's status as the Grand Tutor of the Crown Princess, and she gave birth to a little princess for me. My wife's power in the court will be greater than that of the Prime Minister in the future, so the Jin family doesn't want to be suppressed by my wife."
"Your Highness is right, but there are also some people from other families who fan the flames. I will arrange to deal with these families later!" Xingchen said.
"So what are we going to do next? You have already figured out what to do, right? How do you need me to cooperate with you?"
"My wife, go and file a complaint with the emperor tomorrow! Submit the evidence in front of all the officials. My wife will also tell Mr. Chen, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, to bring the case files that the Dali Temple has sorted out."
"Okay! I'll send someone to tell Lord Chen."
"Where are the others? What are they busy with?" Su Yueyao asked without seeing anyone else.
"I have made other arrangements for the others. Gong Yang and Pu An will go to court with my wife tomorrow, and the others will be back tomorrow at the latest." Xingchen said.
"okay, I get it."
"Will Yuqi be released from house arrest tomorrow?"
"Well, after the morning court tomorrow, my wife will be able to see Yuqi."
When Su Yueyao heard this, she felt relieved that the matter was finally resolved.
Early the next morning.
Su Yueyao, Pu An and Gong Yang entered the palace together in a carriage.
"You two look very tired, didn't you just come back this morning?"
"My wife is a little tired. We came back in the middle of the night last night, but it was worth it. After today, my wife won't have to worry about the faces of those aristocratic families anymore." Gongyang Ruoyu said with a smile.
"What did you do?" Su Yueyao said in surprise.
"It's nothing. We have evidence against those who want to get close to my wife's family. I ask those who are officials in the court to resign. As for those who don't have official positions, we have evidence of them bribing officials and can send them to the Dali Temple at any time."
"We have some evidence in our hands about the noble families in Fengdu, and we have talked with their heads in detail. They will not use threats or inducements to marry their wives." Gongyang Ruoyu said.
Su Yueyao didn't know what to say at this moment, and finally said: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"You are too polite, my lady. This is what we should do. When we were doing these, Lord Chen also helped us behind the scenes. Is he interested in you?" Gong Yang Ruoyu said with a smile.
"I met him and asked him if he had any requests. He said he helped me voluntarily, so he has no feelings for me! Qianqian said he helped me voluntarily, and we don't recognize these favors!"
Gong Yang Ruoyu smiled when he heard this. His wife was really charming. Since this person didn't explain it to his wife, they wouldn't interfere. With the Dali Temple helping out from behind, they saved themselves a lot of trouble.
Moreover, this person is deep-minded, decisive and ruthless. It is better not to let the wife give birth to a husband in her warmth.
Afterwards, the carriage went all the way into the palace. When it arrived at the inner gate, Su Yueyao was helped out of the carriage by Pu An.
When the ministers passing by saw Su Yueyao, everyone's eyes immediately turned to her!
Some officials saw that Su Yueyao was worried and a little flustered.
Su Yueyao didn't say much and went straight into the hall with Pu An and Gong Yang Ruoyu.
The ministers who had arrived at the hall early stopped talking immediately when they saw Su Yueyao.
At this time, Master Huan came over and asked softly.
"Have you resolved the matter of Yueyao and Pei's family? If not, His Majesty will make a judgment today."
Su Yueyao didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded at him.
Even Minister Xun came over and asked with concern. Su Yueyao nodded and smiled without saying much.
When the Queen arrived, she saw Su Yueyao standing below and immediately said, "You are still in confinement, how can you come out? Fu'an, bring a chair to Su Taifu."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, there has never been a situation where anyone sits on a chair during the morning court session. This is not in compliance with regulations." The Minister of Rites stepped out and said.
"Grand Tutor Su gave birth to five daughters and one son, and she is a meritorious official of Fengluan Country. Now she is still in confinement, and I let her sit. What's wrong with that?"
"Your Majesty, but..."
"But what? If the woman in Lord Yuan's family can give birth to so many children, I will let her sit in the court."
The Minister of Rites, Lord Yuan, was so shocked by the Empress' words that he said nothing.
Who can compare to Su Yueyao in terms of fertility? His daughter is four or five years older than Su Yueyao, and she has given birth to three boys!
At this time, Pu An stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I want to report that the Minister of Rites is unworthy of his position, has taken bribes, and even used certain rules and regulations to restrict women!"
After saying this, Urayasu presented the evidence.
"I am innocent. I did not do such a thing." The Minister of Rites immediately knelt down and cried out for justice.
The empress took a quick look at the records of the Minister of Rites' corruption and bribery, as well as the buying and selling of official positions. It was found that almost all the officials in the Ministry of Rites obtained their positions through money.
"Take the Minister of Rites away, and have the Junior Official of the Dali Temple investigate thoroughly for me!"
"I obey your order." Lord Chen stepped out and said.
Su Yueyao then stood up, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I want to file a complaint. The Jin family deliberately set a trap to replace the tribute sent by the Pei family, and also instructed the people of the second branch of the Pei family to replace the goods of the Pei family's business!"
