The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 678: Remembering Wanzhou, Duke Meng's Tears

The servant of the Yun Mansion had been asking about the rumors from the outside world early in the morning, but he did not dare to explain in detail how intense and sharp the discussions from the outside world were. He picked out some calm discussions and told Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang was not so stupid that he knew nothing. Just by listening to the report from the servant, he could guess what people outside thought of him.

Damn it! Xiu Ye was scolded! Why was she scolded for divorcing Meng?

Yun Xiang cursed angrily: "I think these common people are just jealous of me. They are always finding faults!"

"You stinking people are nothing but the lower class people who are jealous of us high officials!"

What Yun Xiang didn't know was that when the government posted Yun Xiang's divorce letter, Yun Mujiu secretly assisted him. There were some spies from Yun Mujiu's group in the crowd, but what they said was true, otherwise how could it cause such a strong reaction from so many people!

Yun Xiang is a bad guy! Ye Shi and Yun Shirou are not good people either! And that dandy playboy Yun Jingyu is not much better!

"Bang!" A noticeable crack appeared on the fine rosewood table. The emperor clenched his hands into fists, breathing heavily, and was extremely excited.

"Damn it! Why did this happen so suddenly?!"

The main thing is that no one in the Feiye Palace, including the emperor, would have thought that Yun Mujiu would suddenly ask Prime Minister Yun to divorce Meng.

In today's world, it is good for a woman to have a powerful family as a backer. Even if her family cannot be a strong backer, it is good to at least serve as a background board, so that others can know where you come from. The identity given to a woman by her family has its own important meaning.

To take a step back, even if the woman has no status in her parents' family, outsiders will know her identity and status as soon as they hear where she comes from. If she comes from a powerful family, outsiders will also look up to her more. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

No matter how unpopular a person is, his true identity is exposed, and others will be wary and cautious about him.

However, Yun Mujiu surprised everyone by getting rid of her status as the daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion and not having any expectations from her natal family. The Night King was also willing to accept Yun Mujiu who had no help from her natal family.

If the emperor knew that Yun Mujiu actually wanted to leave the Yun Mansion, he would definitely take action to stop Yun Mujiu. However, nothing can be changed now!

The emperor only knew that Yun Xiang entered the Night Palace yesterday. The emperor's spies did not find any other movements in the Night Palace during Yun Xiang's visit.

What the people outside the Ye Palace didn't know was that Suixi and his personal guards used light skills to get out of the Ye Palace, so there was no way anyone would notice them.

The emperor thought that Yun Xiang had gone to the Night Palace to get some information, but he didn't expect to receive the news that Yun Xiang had suddenly divorced Meng. Even if the emperor wanted to stop it, it was too late.

Ye Xiaohan had already asked the government officials to file the matter, posted the divorce letter on the imperial edict, and sent many people out to spread the news. Now the whole city knows that Zuo Xiang Zhongyue and his original wife Meng have divorced!

The die is cast. No matter what, there is no way to reverse the fact that Yun Xiang and Meng have divorced.

The Emperor was extremely furious. He had learned about Prime Minister Yun's divorce before the morning court session today, so he showed a hint of anger on his face during the court session, and he was even less patient than usual when listening to the reports from his ministers.

Fortunately, the emperor still tried his best to control his temper and his face was just slightly gloomy.

The ministers suppressed their fear of angering the emperor and said that the summer was hot and the areas that had been drought-stricken earlier might now be at risk of drought again.

The emperor waved his hand and, at the suggestion of several senior officials such as the right prime minister, once again adopted the measures taken in the spring to prevent drought. Some small and medium-sized water conservancy facilities were newly built or repaired in various areas at risk of drought.

At the same time, this time, a group of astronomers with superb skills were specially selected from the Sitian Observatory to go to various places to observe astronomical phenomena and weather changes, and report the news to the court in a timely manner. A few months ago, a group of astronomers in the imperial palace were cleared out by the Night King and his wife. Now, the ones sent out are the old astronomers and the newly promoted new astronomers, many of whom are from different forces in the court, unlike before when all the astronomers were the emperor's people.

After the morning court session, the emperor sternly ordered Eunuch Li: "Bring Prime Minister Yun to the palace for me! I want to see what's going on!"

Ministers left the Xuanzheng Hall in groups of three or five. Once outside the hall, they started chatting.

Many officials were gloating over the divorce of Prime Minister Yun. They were all bureaucrats, so why could Yun Boliang become the prime minister before and suppress them? Now that Prime Minister Yun had fallen several times at the hands of his own daughter Yun Mujiu, they would of course laugh at him!

Especially Yun Xiang's mortal enemies, whether they were officials from Ye Xiaohan's faction, or Duke Meng's old subordinates, or people from the Right Xiang's faction, and even officials from neutral factions in the court, all ridiculed Yun Xiang's experience.

The officials from the emperor's faction blushed slightly. Yun Xiang stood on the same side as them, but their personal reputation was affected because of Yun Xiang's disgrace. It was so shameful!

When Meng Shihao returned to the Meng Mansion, he told his family what happened in the morning court.

Yesterday, Meng Ninglang told the Meng family what happened in Ye Mansion, but he deliberately used calm language to describe it because Yun Mujiu reminded him: "Pay attention to grandpa's health and do not affect his mood."

Duke Meng had a faint smile on his face and said to his only son, "Good! Good!"

He turned around and praised his only grandson, "Ning Lang, you did a great job! Help Mu Jiu and Prince Ye more when you have nothing to do, and see if you can help them a little."

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Ning Lang will definitely keep your instructions in mind."

Duke Meng smiled slightly, the kind wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed slightly, then his eyes became slightly moist, and tears seemed to appear in his eyes.

Wanzhou is her most beloved child, but she is willing to break up with her family for a man she has just met.

At that time, he investigated Yun Boliang, who came from a poor family, was cunning and despicable by nature, and was very good at taking advantage of people's hearts to make profits for himself. During his time as an official, Yun Boliang did many immoral things, including accepting bribes, bullying the people, and abusing his power for personal gain.

He and his wife put the evidence of Yun Boliang's bad behavior in front of Wanzhou, but Wanzhou refused to believe it. I wonder if Wanzhou was unwilling to believe it, or was blinded by love and chose to ignore all of Yun Boliang's shortcomings?

He even found out later that Yun Boliang had pursued many daughters of the powerful families in Beijing before pursuing Wanzhou. So he speculated that Yun Boliang was not really sincere to Wanzhou. However, even so, Wanzhou still insisted on marrying Yun Boliang not long after.

The Meng family is a decent family. How could they tolerate someone like Yun Boliang? He and his wife loved Wanzhou very much, but unexpectedly, they spoiled Wanzhou. What Wanzhou did broke their hearts!

"Grandfather...Grandfather..." A caring voice came from a distance.

Duke Meng slowly came back to his senses, his sharp eyes darkened...
