After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

Having made up his mind, he threw away his pride and sat on the ground, starting to cry out loudly, "You unfilial son, you are going to piss me off to death..."

Just as he howled a word, he saw Fu Yutang's peach blossom eyes sweeping around, smiling coldly, and said in a low voice: "Jingguang Hall is the place where civil and military officials hold meetings, it is extremely solemn. Does this gentleman think that this is a field where he can sit and make noises at will?"

She looked at him leisurely, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you know the consequences of being disrespectful in front of the palace?"

"W-what are the consequences?"

He is working for the emperor, helping him to regain the position of prime minister. What consequences can there be?

Fu Yutang smiled and said softly, "According to the laws of Daning, being disrespectful in front of the palace is a serious crime. The lighter punishment is fifty lashes, while the heavier punishment is stripping of the title and exile two thousand miles away."

At the end, he added in all seriousness: "Based on your actions just now, and my many years of experience in solving cases, I think you will not be able to escape being stripped of your title."

W-what? !

Fu Ping'an's eyes widened, frightened out of his wits by her words, he sat on the ground in a daze, his mind blank. No matter how hard he thought, he didn't expect that by sitting there he might lose his title.

He hurriedly got up from the ground and opened his mouth to explain, but Fu Yutang didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Also, according to the laws of Daning, officials above the third rank wear purple official uniforms, officials above the fifth rank wear red official uniforms, and officials above the seventh rank wear blue official uniforms. You are wearing a scarlet official uniform, but you keep calling me "Marquis", which makes me a little confused. What exactly is your status?"

Fu Ping'an had not yet recovered from the shock of being stripped of his title, and he subconsciously replied, "I am the Marquis of Annan."

Fu Yutang said "Oh" and understood: "But as far as I know, the titles in our dynasty have grades but no duties. They are honorific titles rather than official positions. You use an honorific title to suppress the important officials in the court who are dressed in purple. This..."

She turned her head and looked around, and raised her voice: "Where are the people from the Ministry of Rites? Where are the people from the Censorate? Where have they gone? Come out and tell us, is this reasonable?"

Rui Chengyin: “…”

Minister of Rites and others: "..."

Are you sick? Why do you want to drag us into your quarrel?

We just want to watch the show, okay?

Of course, Fu Yutang didn't really want them to come out and explain. This move was just to piss off Fu Ping'an and give a warning to the Censorate and the Ministry of Rites.

If you don't stand up now, don't stand up later. Otherwise, don't blame her for being rude!

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Fu Ping'an was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She didn't care about anything else and scolded her harshly: "You little bastard, I am your father! Even if you are the prime minister, I am still your father! It is only natural for me to teach my son a lesson! I..."

"shut up!"

He was shouting, and Fu Yutang was even louder than him. Her peach blossom eyes were clear and her face was serious. She said righteously, "This is Jingguang Palace! This is where all officials hold meetings! This is not your living room, nor is it a noisy market. How can you be so unreasonable and make so much noise here!"

“What do you mean by old man or kid? Once you enter the Jingguang Palace, everyone has only one identity, that is, an official of the imperial court who shoulders the mission of establishing the mind for the world, establishing the destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past sages, and creating peace for the world for all eternity! And you…”

She raised her hand, pointed at the nose of Marquis Annan, and cursed: "You are totally ignorant! You brought family affairs to Jingguang Palace as if they were state affairs. When the whole court was pleading for the people, you tore into your own ridiculous dignity, failed to distinguish between public and private, and made unreasonable demands. You not only failed the emperor, but also failed the people of the world!"

"What qualifications do you have to stand here?"

"What qualifications do you have to work with us?!"

The last two sentences are so powerful and thought-provoking!
