Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2335
Gao Xing was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits and shouted, "My life is over!"

He is the son-in-law of the emperor, and he is the son-in-law of the court. Now that he has done such scandalous things, it will not only embarrass Princess Dongyang, but also tarnish the reputation of the royal family. It is possible to kill yourself!

What happened to the son-in-law?
At worst, it would be a matter of finding another child from an aristocratic family to marry Princess Dongyang. For princesses of the royal family, remarriage has never been a problem...

Gao Shilian angrily said: "Shut up! A man, if you dare to do it, you dare to do it. If you can do such a nasty thing, you must bear the consequences! On the contrary, if you cause the woman to die because of it, you How should it be redeemed?"

Gao Xunxin said that your son would be beaten to death by the emperor if I did anything wrong, so why would I care about others?

Gao Shilian clutched his forehead, he was really sad and disappointed, and sighed: "If a man does not do something, he must do something. Your Majesty has a strong temperament. If you just beg for mercy, you will be despised even more. Maybe you will be severely punished. But if you are brave enough to take on the responsibility, there may still be room for relaxation."

After all, this kind of thing is almost a mistake that every man will make. My son's fault lies in the fact that the woman's identity is different. She is both the daughter-in-law of the Qiu family and a nun with hair practice, which may lead to an explosion of public opinion. , thus discrediting all parties.

As for His Majesty Li Er's disposition, Gao Shilian is naturally as clear as the palm prints. If you shirk responsibility, it's over, he will make you pay for your cowardice.

How can the tiger pity the cowardice of the rabbit?

If you are cowardly, the more he will ravage you, punish you, and kill you...

Where can Gao Xing want to get these?
He is afraid!

Since childhood, although His Majesty has always valued him because of his father, the more so, the stricter His Majesty's demands on him, which caused Gao Xing to respect and fear His Majesty Li Er in his heart, like a mountain Standing upright on a high mountain, he is always trembling at the foot of this mountain, as if walking on thin ice, lest his majesty be disappointed if he makes a mistake and will be scolded and punished.

Now that he has done such wrong things, the most important thing is that His Majesty may notice him, how can he not be afraid?
Gao Shilian looked at his son with a pale and terrified face, and finally suppressed his anger with pity, and said: "Just do what the father said, don't evade and quibble, what kind of person is your majesty, how can you allow you to talk nonsense All the punishments will be borne by myself, remember to show actual performance, and if the Qiu family agrees, then marry the woman back home and give her the status of a concubine. As for Fang Jun, he can only marry her Stabilize for the time being, say hello to the father's association and former colleagues in the court, give a proper push, and then make a long-term plan."

High performance is already freaking out, where is the idea?Hearing what his father said, he quickly nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Wang De, the chief servant, who had been waiting for a long time. He stepped forward to pay respects. Wang De said, "Your Majesty ordered this old servant to come and invite the high son-in-law to enter the palace. Shall we leave now?"

Gao Xing nodded quickly.

Going out of the main entrance, boarding the carriage, Gao Xing took off a piece of suet white jade pendant from his waist, stuffed it into Wang De's hand, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what is your Majesty's call at this moment?"

When Li Junxian complained, Wang De was not by the emperor's side, so he didn't know what was going on, but seeing the emperor's angry and stern tone, he could guess that the high consort must have committed some kind of fault, which caused the trouble. His Majesty Longyan was furious.

He put the jade pendant back, expressionless, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty just ordered this old slave to come and 'catch' the high son-in-law to enter the palace. As for the rest, this old slave doesn't know anything about it."

He emphasized the word "catch".

Of course, even if it was His Majesty's order, Wang De would not do it truthfully. He knew that it was just His Majesty's angry words. It was Shen Guogong's mansion and Gao Shilian's mansion. High fulfillment bundled up.

After all, it was the house of Empress Wende's uncle, and she had been living there before she left the cabinet...

The high performance suddenly felt like five thunderbolts.

It's over, it's over, it really is the east window incident...

Along the way, he was worried and uneasy, and when he got out of the carriage outside Chengtian Gate, Gao Xing looked at the tall and majestic city gate tower and the tall and straight city walls extending on both sides, his legs felt weak.

Wang De looked at Gao Xing and said softly, "Gao Consort, please come with this old slave."

Enter Chengtian Gate first.

Gao Xingyan swallowed hard, clenched his fists, and followed Wang De step by step...

……

Inside the Dragon Palace.

His Majesty Li Er sat behind the writing table, holding a vermilion pen in his hand to review the memorial. From time to time, he took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him, frowned and meditated for a while, and then wrote again.

The tall stack of memorials on the desk is slowly decreasing.

Gao Xing knelt in front of the desk, with his head downcast and his eyes downcast, not daring to take a breath.

Ever since he entered the hall, Gao Xing kept his father's words in mind, did not dare to evade sophistry, and knelt down on the ground to plead guilty with a "plop", but His Majesty Li Er didn't even look at him, just leaned over his desk to review the memorial, and Gao Xing was so frightened. Trembling and trembling, dripping with cold sweat.

After a while, His Majesty Li Er put down the imperial brush in his hand, moved his wrist, motioned for Wang De to pour tea for him, then took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then stood up from behind the desk, walked up to Gao Xing with his hands behind his back, condescending He looked down and said, "You say pleading guilty, but how dare you ask?"

Gao Xing's courage was almost frightened...

As the emperor, the most respected person in the world, who could bear to use such a word as "dare to ask"?

It can be seen from this that the anger in His Majesty Li Er's heart is probably about to ignite the Dragon Palace...

Gao Xing was terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "I dare not. I know that the crime is serious, and I dare not quibble. I beg your majesty to punish me according to the laws of the country. I will never complain."

He remembered his father's advice and did not dare to quibble, but the deep restraint of His Majesty Li Er in front of him, like before the eruption of a volcano, made him feel scared.

His Majesty Li Er sneered: "National law? As the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, don't you know what kind of punishment you will suffer for the crime of adultery under the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

Gao Xingxing was shocked all over, and only then realized that he had said something wrong.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and the relationship between men and women was a bit indifferent. From the emperor to the traffickers, it seemed that high performance was tantamount to adultery with widows. It was really not a big deal.

But this is just a kind of ethos, a kind of concept, and it does not mean that men and women can unscrupulously transcend the ethics of ethics and break the social order established by Confucianism for thousands of years.

In private, people can tolerate and even condone those indecent behaviors, but once they are put on the table, they must be put on the line and always maintain political correctness.

"The Law of Zhenguan" has a clear description of this: "For those who have an adulterer, each man and woman will be apprenticed for one and a half years, and those who have a husband will be two years."

What is "imprisonment"?
"The disciples are slaves, and the cap slaves humiliate them", that is to say, this is a punishment method that deprives criminals of their personal freedom and imprison them in prescribed places and forced labor.

The majestic consort of the Tang Dynasty, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family in Bohai, once sentenced to imprisonment, dismissed from official positions, revoked titles, and imprisoned thousands of miles for a year and a half, this life will be completely ruined, not only will his official career be cut off from then on , even the position of Shen Guogong's son may be forcibly deprived by the emperor's decree, and handed over to the successor...

Gao Xing was sweating profusely, regretting too much, and hurriedly said: "Everything is subject to His Majesty's punishment!"

No matter what, we are also your son-in-law. Besides, we still have the face of our father, let alone the relationship with Empress Wende. Let you decide for yourself, and you will not make things go to waste, and finally make your daughter Princess Dongyang remarry Bar?
His Majesty Li Er's face was grim, and he snorted angrily: "Now that things are going on, you are still playing smart with me, haggling over these words? Mother!"

Cursing angrily, he raised his foot and kicked Gao Xingchen on the shoulder.

Gao Xun was caught off guard, and of course he didn't dare to, and was kicked and rolled to the ground.His Majesty Li Er still couldn't bear the anger, rushed forward and kicked hard on the head and buttocks, and cursed at the same time: "Mother! Your Gao family is such a tutor, hooking up with the nuns in the temple, bad people's reputation, corrupt morals and bad manners, it seems How could I have been so blind and married Dongyang to you, you dirty and unscrupulous people? I will kick you to death today, you bastard!"

Although His Majesty Li Er is getting older and his physical strength has gradually weakened in recent years, he still has the foundation for charging and fighting in his military career back then, and he is vigorous with every kick.
