Chapter 528 How decent is it?
"You, you, you..." The Duke wanted to say that only women and villains are difficult to raise, but he still had some rationality and did not say this out loud.
Li Hongting initially wondered whether he should persuade the two, but later he simply focused on his own business. He had endless memorials to review every day, and he really didn't want to listen to the two people arguing here.
Lu Shian pinched his waist and said, "Duke, you are at least the backbone of the court. I didn't expect that there would be such a villain around you. I advise you to let him go and let me investigate. People who don't know would think that he did it because you ordered him to do it."
"Let go... this is impossible. How could this old minister be such a person?"
The Duke turned to look at Li Hongting and said, "Your Majesty, I am definitely not that kind of person. Your Majesty, you must trust me."
"Don't be so quick to cry, Duke. It won't be too late to cry after you find out the truth."
"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. If Your Majesty really thinks that Steward Yu has a problem, just report him to the Dali Temple."
"I don't believe in the Dali Temple."
"What do you mean, Madam? Is the Dali Temple worse than a woman like you?"
"My Lord, you are favoring boys over girls. Don't forget that your mother is also a girl, your wife is also a girl, and your daughter is also a girl."
"When did I ever favor boys over girls? I was saying that you should not interfere in matters that are not within your jurisdiction. Your Majesty should just do your own thing and leave the affairs of the court to the ministers."
"After all, the Duke just doesn't want me to investigate, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is a member of the harem and should abide by the rules of the Great Abyss Kingdom."
"Since this is the case, I am still worried. People from the Dali Temple will come to investigate."
"This matter should be referred to the Dali Temple. It doesn't matter whether the queen agrees or not."
"Why do I have to investigate it myself?"
"Your Majesty is so willful, how can you teach the little prince? It would be better to hand the little prince over to the Queen to teach him."
Originally, he was just trying to anger the Duke, but when he heard him say such words, Lu Shian also got angry!
"I will teach my own son. Why is the Duke so nervous about a housekeeper? Are you afraid that the housekeeper will say something he shouldn't say?"
"What nonsense!"
Li Hongting finally finished revising the last memorial, and he slammed the table!
"Enough!" The voice was neither too loud nor too soft enough to scare the two of them!
"A veteran of three dynasties, and one of the four concubines! How can they quarrel in the hall like this?!"
"Duke Liu!"
"The old minister is here!"
"All matters concerning the north of the city will be handled by Concubine Xian. Do you have any objection?"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this. You must not do this! Concubine Xian is a concubine in the harem. How can she interfere in the affairs of the court? Your Majesty's harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs!"
Li Hongting frowned: "In that case, I will put it another way!"
The Duke was shocked when he heard this. He thought the Emperor would listen to him, but who knew that the Emperor directly gave him an edict!
"Duke Liu, listen to my order: Concubine Xian has been ordered to take over all matters in the north of the city. All matters in the north of the city will be decided by Concubine Xian, and you don't need to report to me!"
Lu Shian immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. No, absolutely not!"
"Duke Liu, your housekeeper had better be clean, otherwise, hmph!"
After hearing this, the Duke fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, everything in my Liu family was given by the royal family. I am willing to swear to heaven that I have never done anything to let down the Great Yuan Kingdom. If Steward Yu really did something treasonous, Your Majesty doesn't need to do anything, I will kill him!"
