Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 799: Chapter 799: Di Yelei’s Thunderous Fury! (6)

At the Golden Luance Palace.

No sooner had Zhao Yuanlang’s buttocks touched the dragon chair than dozens of people came forward in succession, requesting severe punishment for Commander Yang!

“…Such a reckless man who abuses his power armed with military authority, may your Majesty make a wise decision and punish him severely!”

The State Councillor talked eloquently for quite a while before finally bowing deeply.

Several ministers standing nearby also stepped forward: “I second!”; “I second as well!”; “I second too…”;

For a moment, more than a dozen ministers had stepped forward to second in the hall directly.

...

Zhao Yuanlang was secretly pleased in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to frown and fake coughed, asking his ministers for their opinions.

“My beloved courtiers, what are your thoughts on this matter?”

An elderly minister nearby stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty is wise! Although Commander Yang’s actions are somewhat improper, he is acting with the Empress’s edict in hand. Although there were some minor breaches of etiquette, they cannot be considered serious nor warrants any punishment. Please, your Majesty, be wise!”

“I second!”

“I second!”@@novelbin@@

“…”

Soon, the court hall was divided into two factions supporting and opposing, and the heated debate intensified.

Zhao Yuanlang sat high on the Golden Luance Palace throne, tapping the dragon chair’s armrest with his fingertips, smiling on his face and growing increasingly impatient in his heart.

Grandmaster Pang in the front row saw this and couldn’t help but furrow his brow; he broke away from the lineup and directly addressed the emperor.

“Your Majesty is wise! I have ordered a thorough investigation and found that the person Commander Yang intended to arrest was not a female thief at all but Prefecture Princess Ruyu personally granted by your Majesty. Commander Yang intends to harm the Imperial Family’s bloodline and should be sentenced to death according to the law!”

As soon as Grandmaster Pang spoke these words, the court chamber erupted in uproar!

The crime of harming the Imperial Family’s bloodline is not a light one. Even though the Yang family is extremely wealthy and powerful, it is only a matter of one word from His Majesty.

“Grandmaster Pang, are you joking? I have never heard of His Majesty personally granting a Prefecture Princess Ruyu?” A minister who prided himself on his exceptional memory countered.

“Humph! You just don’t know better! His Majesty personally granted Prefecture Princess Ruyu a few years ago. You not knowing about it is quite normal.”

Grandmaster Pang’s arrogant demeanor silenced the minister, leaving him no choice but to back down.

Grandmaster Pang stole a glance at the emperor’s expression, noticing a hint of satisfaction in Zhao Yuanlang’s brow; he knew he had made the right bet! He immediately swept a glance left and right, proudly introducing Prefecture Princess Ruyu to the court.

“Although everyone is unfamiliar with Princess Ruyu, they do know her husband well! He is none other than General Di Yelei, known as the Bloodthirsty Demon General of Hell Di!”

“Rumor has it, the Bloodthirsty Demon General of Hell Di is always at the forefront of every battle and triumphs wherever he goes!”

“He is brave and good at fighting, often acting as the vanguard even as the commander, leading his soldiers in capturing and beheading generals, retaking several lost border cities, and then sweeping hundreds of miles across the Northern Liao’s northern territory, burning tens of thousands of enemy grain and grass, and capturing 3,500 camp tents, 6,800 warhorses, and countless gold, silver, and grain.”

“He also commanded his soldiers to build cities at strategic locations and erected several fortresses to choke the enemy’s lifeline, making it difficult for the enemy army to advance and focus on both fronts, resulting in numerous defeats. In the past few years of warfare, he has accumulated an abundance of military achievements and made a famous name for himself, which makes people look up to him!”

“The 200,000 army he led to fight for four years has now become an army of 450,000, and he has not asked the court for a single penny of military supplies… Instead, he forced the barbarian nations to throw down their weapons and retreat a hundred miles to seek peace with my Great Zhao!”

“Even such a famous general like him, now his wife is being framed by Yang Yikun, chased from the palace gate to the outside of the palace. Such crazy actions not only chill the hearts of loyal officials and generals, but also the hearts of countless families!”

Grandmaster Pang knelt down, “Your Majesty! Such people who harm loyal ministers and shamelessly cause their downfall should be executed!”

“What do you ministers think?”

Zhao Yuanlang still wore a grim expression on his face, revealing no change in his feelings.

As His Majesty’s words fell, all the ministers in the court knelt down, “We agree! Punish Yang Yikun!”

Zhao Yuanlang looked satisfied at the court ministers and immediately nodded, “Since all of you agree, then I will issue the order…”

Before he could finish his words, he saw his personal eunuch hurriedly rushing up the stone steps, whispering into Zhao Yuanlang’s ear. And then, his face turned a shade of green.

Zhao Yuanlang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, glanced randomly at the many court ministers below.

“I have another matter to attend to, we will discuss this at a later date!”

Having said that, he left in a huff, without any further delay!

When he left, the entire court became like an oil pan to which a ladle of cold water had been added, suddenly boiling over. None of the old scholars wanted to let this go, arguing in the Golden Luance Hall.

“Grandmaster Pang, I didn’t expect that with your two legs as good as in a coffin, you’d still be so nosy!” sneered a nearby official.

“Well, well, as a servant of His Majesty, it’s natural to consider His Majesty’s intentions first and foremost,” replied Grandmaster Pang calmly.

That man rolled his dead fish eyes: “Some people just don’t know when to mind their own business! This is a family matter for His Majesty. Since it’s a family matter, they will naturally manage it.

Inside Prince Luo’s Mansion.

As soon as Prince Luo left, Di Yelei announced his intention to leave to Liu Sisi.

“I sneaked into the city, the main army is still a hundred miles away, and besides the people I brought last night, another group of horsemen was stationed thirty miles away, waiting to request an audience with His Majesty. So…” Di Yelei’s voice became quieter and quieter.

The couple had not seen each other for four and a half years, they had just met for less than two hours, and now they were to part again! It was no wonder that Di Yelei found it hard to open his mouth.

“So you’re going to leave the city immediately to join them?” Liu Sisi gently asked.

With her opening, Di Yelei was relieved, and more fluent in answering, “As soon as His Majesty summons me, we’ll meet again. Sisi…”

“In that case, you should leave the city first, and don’t let anyone find out. However, the three children are still asleep, do you want to see them before you go?”

“No need, in a couple of days our whole family will be reunited, these one or two days don’t matter.”

Di Yelei’s decision was already made.

Liu Sisi did not insist on him staying, and with the thought that they could meet again in a few days, she suppressed her reluctance to let him and his party leave.

Last night, everyone was tired. After hurriedly eating a meal, Princess Lu Taiwan and Thirteenth Luo arranged for everyone to rest.
