Chapter 519 - 519 Cannon Fodder Princess Consort (12)

?Chapter 519: Cannon Fodder Princess Consort (12) Chapter 519: Cannon Fodder Princess Consort (12) Before there was no evidence, Duke Dingguo could still rebut a point or two.

Now that Prince Chen had presented all the evidence, Duke Dingguo could only kneel and beg for mercy.

The Emperor harshly reproached Duke Dingguo on the court assembly, implying that if he couldn’t even manage his own household, how could he handle court affairs.

Utilizing his position to arrange for his favored concubine’s family to be employed in the Ministry of War was a crime to be seriously investigated.

Of course, if the Emperor did not delve too deeply, at most there would be a punishment.

The Emperor stripped Duke Dingguo of his position in the Ministry of War, ordering him to return home and reflect behind closed doors.

It appeared that there was no severe penalty for Duke Dingguo, but the Emperor did not specify how long the reflection period should last, nor when he could return.

This left room for speculation. If it were a direct order to reflect for half a year or a year, Duke Dingguo would almost be forgotten in the upper echelons.

But this was much better than being directly demoted. It seemed the Emperor still had concerns about Princess Consort Chun and the Prince in the palace.

The cleverer and more sensitive ones knew the Emperor was also wary of Duke Dingguo’s military power.

After punishing Duke Dingguo, the Emperor looked at Lu Xiao below and spoke,
“Fourth brother, your mother-in-law has requested a divorce from Duke Dingguo, and I have granted it. When you go back, convey this news to the Princess Consort, so she no longer needs to worry.”

Lu Xiao had not expected the Marchioness’s audience with the Emperor not only to accuse Duke Dingguo of destroying his wife for his concubine but also to seek a divorce.

According to the Emperor, this also concerned his own Princess Consort.
