Chapter 4167 The Li Family Is in Dire Straits
Once the news of the divorce spread, there were many people vying to step on him.
It can be said that the current Li family is completely supported by the status of Princess Rouzhen.
Although Li Zhongci was talented and beautiful, he could not get close to the most powerful center of the cabinet and could only do insignificant things in departments such as the Ministry of Rites.
Facing the violent attacks of the censors, the Li family had no resistance.
Even if there were one or two good friends, looking at this posture, they would never dare to speak for the Li family.
So many impeachment memorials, so many charges.
The emperor was naturally furious.
An order was issued on the spot to deprive the Li family of all their seals.
The Li family also has two yinfeng, Mr. Li is hereditary first-class son-in-law, and the eldest son of Li, Li Chaohua, Li Zhongci's brother, is the third-rank general.
At the same time, most of the Li family's land and property were taken away, leaving only their family's ancestral property.
Li Chaohua, who was an official in other places, learned the news and rushed home in anger.
The imperial edict came to the Li family, but before it was announced, Mrs. Li trembled and fainted.
Mr. Li was slightly better than her, and he held on, but his face was pale and full of tears. He cried and said that he was an unworthy descendant, sorry for the Li family, and had ruined all the inheritance left by his ancestors.
Li Zhongci was injured and forced himself to kneel behind his parents. He listened to the maidservant's exclamations and his father's cries, but there was silence in his mind.
Ever since he heard Qian'er say the word "harmony", he had expected all this.
He was wrong.
How wrong.
After several years of marriage, he thought he knew this gentle and gentle princess well enough.
He had no idea that the princess's arrogance and coldness would be so heart-piercing.
Even though the Kingdom of Zhou allowed concubines to be taken in by concubines, Princess Rouzhen did not.
Even if he didn't take any actual action, as long as he had this idea, he would have lost everything to Princess Rouzhen.
He thought that the princess loved him, so even if she was angry, she would eventually accept him.
However, the facts gave him a blow.
It was his luck and cowardice that harmed the Li family.
Li Zhongci looked at his unconscious mother and his crying father without any reaction.
He knelt on the spot in a daze, and before he could stand up, the next imperial edict came again.
It was the emperor who gave him and Princess Rouzhen the imperial edict of peace and separation.
The Li family was so miserable that the divorce became reasonable and reasonable.
The royal family doesn't care about the Li family, but it must take care of the princess's face.
Overnight, the Li family fell from the clouds of a wealthy family into the dirt, and became ordinary people who were trampled on by others.
Although the emperor severely punished the Li family, he only took away their titles and royal rewards for their rural estates. He did not raid their homes or drive them out of the mansion.
In other words, they changed from royal relatives with unlimited honor and favor to ordinary rich people with some wealth.
Life can still go on.
But the gap is inevitable.
After Mrs. Li woke up, she cried and grabbed Li Zhongci, shouting at him to beg Princess Rouzhen to get back together and to beg the emperor to withdraw the imperial edict.
However, the imperial edict has been issued, how can it be withdrawn?
Li Zhongci was like a wooden man, being pulled by her without any reaction.
Aunt Jin came to visit with Jinlu.
Jin Lu felt extremely distressed when she saw Li Zhongci's lost appearance. When she stepped forward to comfort him, Mrs. Li, who was furious, grabbed her hair.
