The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Tang Chujun was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

Admitted! Admitted! She felt an incredible joy in her heart. The Ming family finally had hope.

This is unimaginable. After all, there is no evidence. How could a man like her father, who values ​​money and face more than his life, admit what happened back then?

But now he really admitted it! Duke of the Protectorate Tang Songlin personally admitted that the money donated was from the Ming family.

Emperor Mingde snorted coldly at Tang Songlin, "As a result, you two are so shameless that you counted the Ming family's money as the money of the Duke of Huguo Mansion and took all the credit. If I remember correctly, you should have inherited the title of Marquis. It is because of this contribution that you inherited the title of Duke of Huguo. Am I right?"

Tang Songlin's old face turned red. He didn't dare to answer. He just lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.

This matter itself is not complicated, but the difficulty lies in the fact that no one else has evidence to prove that the silver belongs to the Ming family, and the credit was taken by the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

Now that Tang Songlin has spoken it himself, it is ironclad evidence. Moreover, the trial is still being held in the Jian'an Marquis's mansion, and it can't even be considered a trial. They just used coaxing and intimidation to figure out the whole story.

Tang Chuyu and his sister were so angry at their father and grandfather's shamelessness that their eyes turned red, and they felt guilty for not having any contact with the Ming family for many years.

Their mother must have passed away with such regret that she was so upset!

Tang Chujun couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Emperor Mingde listened to the faint crying and clenched his hands several times.

He frowned, thinking about how to solve this thorny matter. He had to protect the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and give justice to the Ming family.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked over and said, "Xia'er, according to you, how should this matter be handled?"

When Tang Songlin heard this, he was both happy and worried.

The good thing was that this was his granddaughter, so she wouldn't really use him as a target; the bad thing was that the granddaughter was clearly on the side of the Ming family.

I heard my granddaughter reply in a clear and melodious voice, "Father, since you asked me what I meant, I will tell you everything I know."

Emperor Mingde finally showed a little smile on his face, "You can say it as you like."

Shi Anxia said seriously, "First..."

When Tang Songlin heard these two words, he became so angry that he almost forgot to tremble.

Emperor Mingde glared at him and he began to tremble again.

"As the saying goes, it is only natural to pay back debts. The Duke of the State's Mansion deceived the Ming family, so they should compensate with the same amount of money. But the Ming family is not short of money, so the Duke of the State's Mansion's money should be kept by you temporarily. When there is a disaster, this money can be donated in the name of the Ming family for disaster relief. At that time, you can confer a title on the Ming family as appropriate."

Emperor Mingde's pupils lit up when he heard this. Ah, she is indeed my good daughter, who can always think of me anytime and anywhere.

Look, the silver is all in my custody. How much you trust me!

Emperor Mingde nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

All the benefits will be reaped by me and the court, so what's wrong with that?

Shi Anxia continued, "Secondly, the title of Duke of Protectorate was earned by the ancestors of the Tang family with their lives and blood. Although these two generations have really lost the face of the ancestors and fallen from their character. But my uncle definitely has the inheritance of the ancestors of the Tang family and can be a pillar of the North Wing."

Tang Chuyu looked at Shi Anxia in shock. He had already vaguely guessed his niece's intention, just like she said last time, "Uncle, this is a good opportunity for you to make contributions to the court."

She was planning for him, she had always been planning for him.

Sure enough, I heard my niece say, "My grandfather committed an unforgivable crime. I beg the emperor to allow him to take my step-grandmother back to his hometown to spend his old age in peace, considering his age."

Tang Songlin raised his head suddenly, wishing he could tear this hateful granddaughter to pieces.

What did she say? She wanted to kick him out of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion! She wanted to kick him out of the capital! She wanted him to live in the countryside!

No! No no no! No way! Absolutely not! He won’t leave! He won’t leave even if he dies!

The emperor will not agree!

The emperor would not be so foolish as to let a Duke of Protector of the Country go to the countryside! If this gets out, it will only make people question the emperor's wisdom!

"Yes!" Emperor Mingde said heavily.

Tang Songlin's energy was drained away in an instant, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped. A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, as if it was about to burst out at the next moment.

Before Shi Anxia could piss off her grandfather to death, she continued, "Although there is no precedent in the North Wing for a Duke to let his son inherit the title while he is still alive, everything has a beginning."

She knelt down respectfully and said, "Father, I dare to ask you to allow my uncle to inherit the title directly."

Tang Songlin: “!!!”

You might as well dress up as a ghost and scare me to death! This granddaughter looks cute and gentle, but in fact, her methods are much more cruel than men!

He was just thinking about giving the position of crown prince to other sons, but he might as well just inherit the title in one go.

Tang Songlin finally spat out the blood in his throat.

Emperor Mingde frowned and said, "Duke Protector of the Country, if you really want to vomit blood and die, I won't have to set a precedent, and your son will be able to inherit the title legitimately."

Tang Songlin: “!!!”

Your Majesty, are you forcing me, an old minister, to swallow this blood?

He hated it! He hated it so much! He hated that he didn't check the almanac before going out today. Why didn't he just stay at home and rest? Why did he have to go to the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion to cause trouble?

Eunuch Qi, who had been hiding in silence, could not help but stepped forward to comfort him, "Duke, relax. What's wrong with the countryside? There are mountains, water, and people. Dogs in the countryside are raised stronger. Besides, the one who inherited the title is Lord Tang, so isn't he still your son?"

Tang Song and Ruby Lin were disheartened and didn't want to listen to any such nonsense.

Eunuch Qi continued, "Logically speaking, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is guilty of deceiving the emperor and should be beheaded. It's only because our emperor is merciful and for the sake of Lord Tang and Princess Haiyan that he has tried so hard to preserve the glory of your Tang family. Otherwise..."

Emperor Mingde said calmly, "Youen, why are you wasting your words on him? With his treacherous character, he is not worthy of being the Protector of the Northern Wing. What country is he protecting? He is totally ignorant! You are still trying to persuade him, but what is there to persuade him about? He has lived to such an old age, but he has not done a single thing. He doesn't even care about his daughter's marriage! And..."

Eunuch Qi was very anxious: "My Lord and Master! If you continue talking, you will be exposed!"

Emperor Mingde cleared his throat and said, "Let's do as Xia'er said. Tang Chuyu will be named the Crown Prince tomorrow, and he will inherit the title the day after tomorrow. Because of his contribution to the disaster relief in Yucheng, he will still keep his original title."

Tang Chuyu quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

Emperor Mingde said meaningfully, "You have a good sister, a good nephew, and a good niece. You must treat them well."

Tang Chuyu hurriedly said, "They are all my relatives, I will treat them well."

Emperor Mingde shook his head. "In this world, perhaps the people who are hurt the most are their loved ones. As a human being, you must always keep a pure heart."

Tang Chuyu knelt down and kowtowed, "I will remember the emperor's teachings."

Emperor Mingde personally helped Tang Chuyu up, "My dear, I'm afraid that the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is now in your hands and is penniless. Do you have any complaints?"

Tang Chuyu was silent for a moment, then said, "The Duke of Huguo's Mansion was completely lost, and it was thanks to my grandparents that we have what we have today. If this money can be used to buy a title for my grandparents, my grandfather will definitely be pleased. My mother's spirit in heaven will also rest in peace."

When Tang Chujun saw his daughter and brother kneeling in front of Emperor Mingde, he was confused for a moment and somehow knelt beside them.

Perhaps because of excitement and wanting to thank the emperor for returning justice to the Ming family, she blurted out, "Your Majesty, have you had your meal yet?"
