Chapter 887: The Wife and Daughter's Words and Actions Originated from the Master
In fact, apart from the Chief Censor, the official rank of the Censor in the Censorate was not very high.
But even though the censor's official rank was not high, no one dared to offend him easily.
Even if you can get along well with the censors, it is better than really offending them, unless you don't want to live a good life!
At this moment, Chief Censor Zhen Fang came out to report.
"Your Majesty, I would also like to report to the Deputy Minister Zhang Jinyan!
In addition to the various crimes that Master Fu had just accused Zhang Jinyan of, he was also greedy for power and had no regard for his integrity...
He openly used marriage to curry favor with the royal family, wishing to use all his daughters to occupy the position of princess!
He was not satisfied with marrying his eldest daughter into Prince Yi's palace as his principal wife, and he did not care at all whether their greed would damage the reputation of the prince. He strongly encouraged his second daughter Zhang Miaotong to publicize in public - the current Prince Yu belonged to her!
She will not marry anyone but His Royal Highness Prince Yu!
It's so arrogant and shameless!
Where does Zhang Jinyan get the confidence to be so arrogant?
I believe it came from Zhang Jinyan's son-in-law, His Royal Highness Prince Yi! "
"Master Zhen, be careful with your words!"
Xiao Jingyi quickly spoke up to stop Zhen Fang.
"It was only yesterday that I learned that the people in the Second Assistant's Office had committed so many illegal and deceitful acts against the emperor, using my name as their cover!
This prince was shocked and disgusted at the same time. He immediately wrote a letter of divorce, divorcing Zhang Jinyan's eldest daughter Zhang Miaoying and severing all ties with the second assistant Zhang Jinyan and his wife and daughter!
Therefore, Zhang Jinyan is no longer my father-in-law, and I am no longer my son-in-law!
Please, Master Zhen, stop comparing me with Zhang Jinyan's family!"
"I know, I know, I know everything!
Not only do I know this, everyone in the capital knows this!"
Zhen Fang nodded repeatedly and continued calmly, "Your Highness Prince Yi, it is true that you gave the former Princess Yi, Zhang Miaoying, a letter of divorce yesterday.
But what I am talking about is what happened before yesterday!
Before yesterday, Your Highness Prince Yi, you were the son-in-law of the Second Assistant Minister Zhang Jinyan!
It was only before yesterday that Zhang Jinyan took advantage of the power of His Royal Highness Prince Yi to commit those evil deeds and crimes!
No?
Not only Zhang Jinyan, but also Zhang Jinyan's wife Wang, before yesterday, relied on her status as the mother-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yi to walk around the capital with impunity!
Your mother-in-law once went to the Treasure Pavilion to choose jewelry. There was a pair of phoenix hairpins worth thousands of taels, but your mother-in-law only left a hundred taels and took them away!
Oh, not only did he leave behind a hundred taels of silver, he also left behind a message: "If you're not afraid of death, go to Prince Yi's mansion and ask for the remaining nine hundred taels!"
There are not just one such incident... there are ten such incidents...
It is common to threaten people with their lives and force them to buy valuables!
The timid ones can only swallow their anger and consider themselves unlucky!
Those who refuse to obey will lose their lives without knowing why...
How many people lost their lives? I believe Lord Fu from the Ministry of Justice has the specific number!
Also, His Royal Highness Prince Yi's sister-in-law——
He was the one who broke into the Duke of Anguo's mansion yesterday and bullied Princess Chengxian, and was reported to the Shuntian Prefecture Government Office by Princess Chengxian!
In theory, Zhang Miaotong is the biological sister of Princess Yi and the sister-in-law of Your Highness Prince Yi.
But...according to what your sister-in-law said, she could either enter Prince Yu's palace as a concubine with your secret planning and help;
Or... she will be the backup princess of your Highness Prince Yi, ready to replace her biological sister at any time!
Your Highness Prince Yi, let's not discuss whether Zhang Miaotong is your sister-in-law or your secret lover...
But, no matter what, she, Zhang Miaotong, was able to act so arrogantly and domineeringly because of the power of Your Highness Prince Yi.
She is the daughter of a minister, yet she dares to claim the ownership of the prince of the current dynasty!
He even dared to ignore the first-rank Duke's Mansion and the Chengxian Princess appointed by the Emperor!
She even ignored the Emperor's imperial decree granting the marriage, and dared to bring people to the door to demand that Princess Chengxian give up her fiancé, His Royal Highness Prince Yu...
It can be seen how arrogant Zhang Miaotong is, as she has someone to rely on!
It's like a monk holding an umbrella—it's lawless!"
"Master Zhen..."
Xiao Jingyi couldn't bear to listen any longer. He was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Zhen Fang stopped him. "Your Highness Prince Yi, please don't be impatient. Today, I want to report on the Deputy Minister Zhang Jinyan. As for Your Highness Prince Yi's personal affairs... I won't mention them for now!"
Xiao Jingyi was almost scared to death, and even more so angry!
Let’s not talk about it for now!
Isn't this mentioned anymore?
This is all finished, okay?
"Your Majesty, I will now report Zhang Jinyan!"
Zhen Fang's words took a sudden turn, and Xiao Jingyi, who had just opened his mouth to speak, was choked and rolled his eyes, unable to utter a word for a while.
The Chief Censor is reporting court officials to the emperor. Who dares to stop him?
Even Xiao Jingyi has to shut up first.
Zhen Fang continued, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether those women in the Cifu Mansion are relying on the power of His Royal Highness Prince Yi to become so arrogant and presumptuous that they disregard the emperor and the law.
Let’s just talk about Zhang Jinyan, the second-in-command of the head of the family. If he was a good minister who was loyal to the emperor and respected his superiors and abided by his duties as a minister, how could he have indulged his wife and daughter to such an extent!
The reason why Zhang Jinyan’s wife and daughter behaved in such a way was because of Zhang Jinyan!
I beg the Emperor to make a judgment!"
After Zhen Fang finished speaking, he held up the memorial in both hands.
