Chapter 648: Requesting the Queen to Be Deposed

The emperor was very unhappy, but he couldn't get angry. Everything the old lady said was true.

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and then there was a buzz of discussion.

Old Lady Lu was full of energy, "Now, the prince's wife is still in a coma and her life is in danger. I am going to the palace today and ask the emperor to give me an explanation!"

"Is it right for the queen to interfere in the family affairs of the minister privately?"

"Is it right for the queen to humiliate the minister's wife?"

The emperor was extremely irritable and didn't know how to get rid of the old lady. At this time, the eunuch outside the palace loudly preached: "The prince of Qi has something to report. Please wait outside the Xuanwu Gate."

Now all the civil and military officials in the court knew why Xiao Yu came, and they all looked at the emperor.

The emperor didn't want to call Xiao Yu in, but all the civil and military officials in the court were looking at him. If he didn't call Xiao Yu in, wouldn't it make him seem guilty?

The emperor hesitated for a long time and nodded again.

The eunuchs around him shouted, "Call the prince of Qi to the palace--"

After waiting for half an incense stick of time, Xiao Yu strode in from outside the palace.

Everyone saw a man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, with a straight posture, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and his aura made people look at him sideways.

All the officials couldn't help but praise in their hearts. The good son raised by the king of Qi was known to be a dragon among men at a glance.

Xiao Yu first knelt in front of the emperor, then stood up and said loudly: "I have a memorial to submit."

"I beg the emperor to depose the queen!"

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar. The old lady just wanted an explanation, but the prince of Qi wanted to depose the queen as soon as he came!

Xiao Yu stood in the center of the hall, speaking slowly and calmly, "I beg the emperor to depose the queen, for three reasons."

"First, the queen has no children. The queen has been married to the emperor for fifteen years, but has not given birth to a child for the emperor, so she should not be disgraced to be the empress."

"Second, the queen has no morals. The queen pretended to be a lady from a famous family with an orphan who had no one to educate her, and wanted to marry her into the royal family."

"Since ancient times, there have been five things that cannot be married, and the eldest daughter of a widow is one of them. The queen ordered this girl to be married to the Prince of Qi's mansion. Isn't it intended to bring shame to the royal family!"

"Third, the queen first interfered in the family affairs of the minister without authorization, and when she saw that things failed, she was narrow-minded and would take revenge for any slight. My wife was summoned to the palace yesterday because I did not obey the imperial decree. , reprimanded and humiliated my wife in every possible way, and even asked the palace maids to use private punishment. My wife could not bear the humiliation and hit the pillar to commit suicide. "

"Disobeying the imperial edict was done by Xiao Yu alone, what does it have to do with my wife? It's really easy to find a pretext to accuse someone!"

"May I ask the emperor, how can such a childless, immoral, and narrow-minded woman be a role model for women in the world?"

Xiao Yu's voice resounded throughout the hall, "I beg the emperor to depose the queen!"

At this time, Mrs. Lu also slammed the cane in her hand and knelt down, "My wife also begs the emperor to depose the queen!"

The queen's family is the Anguogong family. Anguogong holds a large number of troops and guards the border. The emperor now relies on Anguogong very much. How could he depose the queen?

Most officials knew what was going on. Although they agreed with Xiao Yu's words in their hearts for a while, no one spoke out to agree.

However, there are always opponents of the Duke of Anguo in the court. At this time, an official stepped out and said, "What the Prince of Qi said makes sense."

"The Empress has no children. The Emperor is now over 30 years old, but the only concubine in the harem, Concubine Liu, gave birth to a son, but he died young. How do we know that it is not due to the Empress's jealousy?"

"No children and jealousy are both the seven reasons for divorce. Therefore, I also implore the Emperor to depose the Empress, marry a new Empress, and give birth to a legitimate son for the Empress as soon as possible."

Two or three more stepped out to agree. The Emperor's face was ashen, and he stared at Xiao Yu who was standing in the center of the hall.

Xiao Yu stood straight, without flinching, and looked directly at the Emperor.
