The Chu family is still in turmoil.

Mrs. Chu volunteered to move to Yuemei Nunnery, but Mrs. Chu was reluctant to go back.

She watched the Chu family being rectified and resentful, and she was very angry, she was a majestic existence in this mansion, and she could not allow her power to be seized like this.

So, she summoned the elders of the older generation of the Chu family to come forward and go to the Chu family to "publicly judge" Chu Shoufu.

All the people in the Chu family have a lot of respect for this old lady.

From her youth to her old age, she single-handedly supported the inner courtyard of the entire family, but whenever something happened to anyone's family, she stepped forward to settle it with one hand.

It can be said that she is in Beijing, and even the eldest princess is not as majestic as her.

She protects the short.

But everyone in the Chu family, whether it is from her room or not, she will protect it.

No matter what happens to the Chu family, she can carry it.

A few years ago, she had an unsuccessful grandson who killed someone outside, and people wanted to go to the yamen to sue him, and she came forward to suppress it, not only did not compensate a penny, but also asked the family of the deceased to come to her door to apologize, saying that it hurt her Chu family's face.

In this case, before reaching the Yamen, the victim's family could only admit that they were unlucky and said that the deceased fell to their death, and for fear of retaliation from the Chu family, they left the capital overnight.

These things are done without leakage, and naturally no rumors outside dare to spread it.

The old lady enjoyed such an honor, enjoyed the worship of her children and nephews, and every year on her birthday, she returned to the mansion and looked at the black head kneeling below, and everyone said extremely auspicious words in their mouths, and she felt happy.

The glory of the old lady's half life, accustomed to the noisy life, even in the Yuemei Nunnery, is also lively every day, the noble ladies in Beijing, as well as the juniors of the Chu family, also went to visit the day after the net, and sent various expenses.

For those people, there is a god in Yuemei Nunnery, and this god is Mrs. Tailao.

If you come to worship something, it is more beneficial than asking God to worship Buddha.

But now, in the Chu Mansion, even the people under her knees are disappointed in her.

She is no longer the ancestor who turned the tide.

She is no longer the patriarch who makes a decision.

She couldn't stand it.

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

The elders of the clan, because of her calling, all gathered together.

Everyone has heard about Mrs. Chu, and they are all shocked, isn't it just that they have sent a few words about the protector and the old palace maid? Why did you have to be executed? The Emperor Taishang didn't take the Chu family too seriously, right?

And the uncle of the Chu family was kicked out, and he has not been able to enter the house so far, which has also caused everyone to be indignant, the uncle is the eldest son of the grandson, how can he be outcast?

As soon as you say a word, I denounce Chu Shoufu's ruthlessness one by one.

By the time Chu Shoufu came in, the atmosphere was already very intense, and everyone was full of righteous indignation.

Chu Shoufu's second uncle stood up, pointed at Chu Shoufu and scolded angrily, "You are now in a high position, why did you forget filial piety?" What you have done recently has made our Chu family lose face, and now people outside think that our Chu family is weak and can be bullied, and if this continues, the prestige of the Chu family will be lost by you sooner or later. ”

The second uncle of the Chu family originally sat on the main seat with Mrs. Tai, but now that he stood up, Chu Shoufu sat directly in his seat.

He looked at everyone coldly, and before he entered the door, he heard the heated criticism here, but now that he sat down, no one spoke.

Chu Shoufu looked at the old lady, "Mother, this matter is good, you invited everyone over, and it also saves me from ordering someone to inform me again, I just have something to say in front of everyone." ”

The old lady was still full of anger, but when she heard this, she felt that it was not good, and said sharply: "Don't worry, there are older people here, you listen to what they say first." ”

Chu Shoufu clasped his hands in his sleeves, looked around at everyone coldly, and said: "No need, what I said is just a few words, today everyone is not distinguished from the elder and the inferior, after all, those who are older than me are not as gray as me, who is comfortable and who is hardworking, it is clear at a glance." From today onwards, all the children and grandchildren of my surname Chu who serve in the court must be assessed by the officials in the same way as other officials. ”

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

There are people in every room of the Chu family who serve in the court again, many of them are the pillars of the court, and they are also really talented, of course, these people are also promoted by Chu Shoufu, the big tree of the Chu family can be so deep-rooted, not because of the old lady's exquisite ability, but because of Chu Shoufu's influence of power.

And the Chu family also has some officials, who are vegetarian and have an errand in the major yamen, a little famous and a little powerful, and it is not uncommon for them to be rich.

Chu Shoufu is on his knees, there are few people who are really capable, and all this depends on the pampering and connivance of the old lady.

"Chu Da, you can't be like this, the assessment of this ministry is now an annual one, and it is very ......strict."

"That's right, Chu Da, let's discuss this matter again, although the imperial court has to be assessed, but you have been carrying ...... for so many years"

The so-called elders, who were still very arrogant, all lowered their voices.

The old lady's face was like dead ashes, showing a withered color.

She stared at Chu Shoufu stubbornly, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she knew what he was doing, in a word, he choked the lifeblood of these people, so that they knew who was the master of the Chu family today.

Chu Shoufu didn't care whether these people were begging or angry, he had finished speaking, and got up to leave.

The people in the court all know that Chu Shoufu pays attention to efficiency no matter what he says and does, and he will not bother to say a word.

Many people in the court are afraid of Chu Shoufu, and the people of the Chu family are biased, but because of his surname Chu, they forget his identity as Shoufu and forget their awe of him.

The old lady sat blankly, watching his back and disappear, and in her ears were the voices of these people complaining, saying that they should not have come today, that this was a disaster for no reason.

She stood up slowly, only to feel that her heart was full of ashes, and even her body was ashes, as if if she stepped out, she would be blown away by the wind.

She didn't understand what he was thinking, when the Chu family was in full swing, why did he destroy his foundation?

The mother and son had a conversation in the middle of the night.

It is also in the huge inner hall of the Chu family that the flat forehead has been hung up again, and it is still the words "return to simplicity and clumsiness".

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

It's just that the son is full of gray hair, and the mother is just gray.

She has been honored all her life, and she never imagined that she would be in such a situation in her old age.

Silence spreads between mother and son, as if neither of them wants to open their mouths first.

Outside, it was also as quiet as death, and the lively Chu Mansion in the past is now like a dead castle.

Mrs. Chu's funeral was not done here, and the body was sent back to her mother's house, which was the decision of Mrs. Tai, and the Chu family could not produce a daughter-in-law who was executed.

Mrs. Chu's maiden family, although there were complaints, no one dared to disobey the old lady's order.

She thought that she was full of her words and thought that she would decide everything, but she forgot that no one would be afraid of an old county lord, and they were afraid of her because her son was the first assistant of the dynasty, and he was the second in command of the Northern Tang Dynasty whose protégés were all over the officialdom and began to make meritorious contributions at a young age and had always been in a high position.
