The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1263

[1263. Chapter 1204: Broken into pieces]

There has always been a saying in ancient times that the mother is more valuable than her son, and the wife is more valuable than her husband.

It seems that such husbands are valued based on their wives, but they are very few.

What an amazing thing that my great-grandmother came back from the dead.

It can be said that this great-grandmother’s life was completely saved by Liang Ruying.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a particularly good mood and spent half the night with his grandmother, who repeatedly said that she wanted to repay her kindness.

Emperor Hongzhi has been thinking about what kind of reward to give Liang Ruying.

After Empress Zhang reminded her, Emperor Hongzhi learned that Liang Ruying had an unmarried husband.

In this era, once a marriage contract is concluded, Liang Ruying is considered half of the Liu family. In the future, when you pass the family, you will no longer be called Liang, but Liu Liang. The Liu surname comes first and the Liang family comes last. Therefore, when rewarding a woman, I think I will still reward her husband.

Since Liang Ruying has repeatedly stated that her husband-in-law is Liu Wenhua.

So, simply reward Liu Wenhua.

Repaying kindness is a matter of course.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and stared at Liu Wenhua with a pair of bright eyes. At this moment, the eunuch opened the edict and read loudly.

“Zhi said: There is a female doctor, Liang Ruying, who is very intelligent and talented. The Empress Dowager is seriously ill now. Fortunately, she can save her and make her body healthy. The country governs the world with filial piety. My grandmother treats me like flesh and blood. I serve the queen. The Empress Dowager, I am very nervous, lest I make any mistakes. The Empress Dowager is now very old and needs a good doctor to accompany me so that I can be safe. I am ordering the female doctor Liang Ruying to be the doctor of the women’s hospital. My husband, Liu Wenhua, gave me 300,000 yuan and ordered local officials to go to the Liu Mansion and erect a stone square as a sign. “Oh my God!

There is no emperor in front of me…

This is a royal decree. “

That is to say, His Majesty directly bypassed the cabinet and issued the decree.

And the rewards given did not exceed the specifications of the purpose.

For example, Liang Ruying was ordered to be a medical doctor at a women’s hospital. This medical doctor’s position originally fell into the category of a ministerial official. The so-called ministerial official was an official title outside the system, so there was no problem.

As for the reward to Liu Wenhua, the three hundred thousand gold…well…although it is not enough to buy a toilet, the real glory is to build a stone square.

The ancient aristocratic families valued reputation the most.

For ordinary people, if they get a plaque from the government, it will be enough to make them famous in all directions. If the emperor decreed that a memorial arch or stone archway be given to him, there would definitely be an article written by Hanlin himself on the stone archway, praising his family. Then… it would be regarded as the smoke rising from the ancestral tomb, and it would be enough to be prominent in the local area. .

Generally speaking, the people who can be allowed to build stone squares are either high-ranking officials who have become official, or they are ministers who have made great achievements. The last, last, and most famous ones are so famous that they alarmed the people in the court.

Although the Liu family in Lingnan can be considered a big family, it has gone through eight generations since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but these eight generations have never heard of being granted a stone square.

But today, His Majesty is particularly gracious. What a great gift this is.

After hearing the edict, many people immediately understood the whole story.

It turns out…the Empress Dowager was in critical condition last night.

Unexpectedly, he was actually rescued by a female doctor named Liang Ruying.

What? Female doctor?

If this female doll hadn’t been able to rejuvenate with her wonderful skills, she would definitely not be so grateful to His Majesty. Then… this female doctor’s medical skills must be miraculous.

Aren’t there several people in the Liu family who are officials in the court?

By the way, there is also this young man who is also a Juren. If he can go to high school in the future, with His Majesty’s good impression of him and the Liu family, it will not be easy to achieve success in the future.

Many people couldn’t help but sigh.

What a fate this person has had.

It’s true…

some people struggle all their lives and can barely be ranked in the court class, but some people just have a good fiancée. From then on, one person achieves enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Not to mention anything else, the future prospects of those Liu family officials who are officials in the court are limitless.

Many people looked at Liu Wenhua with envy.

Liu Wenhua was stunned, his eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

His uncle Liu Yan first smiled, then the smile gradually disappeared, and then he shivered, and then… he felt that his legs were a little weak and his body was a little crooked.

Liang Chu stood in the middle of the class, his mouth open as big as an egg.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Wenhua with a surprised look on his face. Just because of this favor, he was caught off guard. Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “The Liu Qing family… still haven’t accepted the order.”

Liu Wenhua suddenly felt like sieves, and he became frightened.

This…how should I say this? How should I say this?

He subconsciously looked at his uncle.

But his uncle Liu Yan finally couldn’t hold on any longer, his knees weakened and he collapsed on the ground.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

“Huh?”

He looked suspicious.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty… Common people, common people…” Liu Wenhua fearfully ran through countless thoughts in his mind, thinking that this divorce does not exist?

Impossible, impossible, Liang Chu is here. If he stands up to expose it, then he will be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

But…

he has long since lost his grace and elegance, and his face is ashen. If he had known this, why would he have canceled the engagement?

“What’s going on?”

“Your Majesty…” Liu Wenhua trembled at the corner of his mouth and said with difficulty: “The common people… the common people dare not accept it.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face became solemn, and he couldn’t help but frown and asked: “Why?”

” Cao Min is not Liang Ruying’s fiance.” Liu Wenhua felt like he was going crazy.

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned. What, did he get the wrong person?

Liu Wenhua was about to cry but had no choice but to tell the truth truthfully: “The common people… the ordinary people have actually… actually… broken off the engagement.”

When he said this, Liu Wenhua felt like he was exhausted.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the palace.

Damn it, this…

“Why didn’t Dr. Liang know when the engagement was broken off?” Emperor Hongzhi’s face became worse and worse, his brows slightly raised, and his voice could not help but reveal a bit of displeasure.

“What’s going on?”

Liu Wenhua’s eyes were red: “Just a few days ago…she was in the palace, I’m afraid…she didn’t know yet.”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly stood up, stared at Liu Wenhua, and asked sternly Said: “You broke off the marriage. I heard that since it is a marriage, if you want to break off the engagement and divorce your wife, you need to have seven reasons, namely the so-called childlessness, adultery, neglect of aunts and uncles, gossip, theft, jealousy, and bad diseases. I I would like to ask you, which one did this female doctor Liang commit?”

Liu Wenhua was about to blurt out, accusing Liang Ruying of not observing women’s ethics.

The so-called lack of respect for women was naturally due to Liang Ruying’s exposure to the public and went to study medicine.

But when the words reached his throat, he stopped.

The Empress Dowager was saved by Liang Ruying. If she said that she was not a woman by studying medicine, wouldn’t she be seeking death?

At this time, Liang Ruying was already a female hospital doctor, and she was favored by the Empress Dowager and her benefactor. How could he dare to say anything wrong? So, he fell in love with her every time and didn’t know what to say.

Emperor Hongzhi had an awe-inspiring look on his face and couldn’t help but get furious. This woman’s engagement was annulled for no reason. It was not a fun thing!

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: “You are also a scholar. Since you are a scholar, you should know that a scholar should be knowledgeable and sensible. Although Dr. Liang is blameless, you broke off the engagement and ruined the reputation of others. You are worse than a beast. Do you know your guilt?

” I…I…” Liu Wenhua trembled and mumbled, but he couldn’t find a reason to defend himself.

He couldn’t help but swallowed his saliva and said calmly: “Your Majesty, I… the common people, the common people dare not hide it, this Liang Ruying, she… went to study medicine, which attracted people’s attention, the common people… the common people are afraid that he will insult the family reputation. …”

This was okay if I didn’t say it, but once I said it, Emperor Hongzhi became even more furious.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “If this woman hadn’t been clever and skilled in medicine, I’m afraid the Empress Dowager would have collapsed. This is the reason for your breakup. In my opinion, you have read the book of a saint in vain. It seems that you have read it in vain.” You are like a beast, but you still dare to claim that you are a disciple of a saint. This person has no virtue. Take away his fame and never use it! “Take away his fame and never use it

!”

Liu Wenhua’s face was ashen and he was almost going crazy.

After ten years of studying hard, just waiting to be able to stand out and be named on the gold medal list, I finally won the imperial examination. If this year’s Enke is nominated for the gold medal list, from now on, the Liu family will have one more minister in the court. His brilliant life will be the same. Also turned on.

However, the honor of being a civil servant is gone, and even… this will never be used, which means that I will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of my life, and I… is finished.

He was confused, and he felt really regretful, but… he couldn’t give in, how could he give in, he was the proud man of heaven, he looked at his uncle as if asking for help, and couldn’t help but said sadly: “Uncle…”

He Count on your uncle to say a word for you.

Liu Yan’s face was ashen, and when he heard the word uncle, he trembled.

But soon, he noticed that Emperor Hongzhi was looking at him sternly…

Emperor Hongzhi was even more angry: “Okay, it turns out there is an uncle here, Liu Qing’s family. I didn’t know that you also have an uncle.” Such a good nephew.”

“Your Majesty…” Liu Yan quickly bowed down and was about to defend himself.

Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: “Since you are his uncle, you are also his elder. The Qing family must have known about the break-up of the engagement. This matter is inappropriate both emotionally and rationally. You are a bad person and mislead others. All your life, from beginning to end, you not only did not stop your nephew’s actions, but also secretly encouraged him in disguise. I would like to ask the Qing family. The Qing family is the right deputy of the Capital Procuratorate, and the country’s clean stream. , but why do you behave so badly and harbor evil intentions so much, how can you care for your own selfish thoughts, regardless of the life and death of others? Fortunately, the Qing family usually speaks so plausibly, don’t people like Qing feel guilty? ?”

Liu Yan was frightened and kowtowed: “Your Majesty… I will die!”

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: “I can’t wait to cut you into pieces!”

And…
