Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

What do you mean, that is, whoever takes a concubine as a wife shall be sentenced to three years in exile, and whoever takes a maidservant as a concubine shall be sentenced to one and a half years in exile.It's not over yet, let's not talk about it after suffering the crime, and finally "return it to each other", that is to say, it should be a concubine, but after receiving the criminal law, it is still a concubine.

Therefore, Xu Jingzong's nonsense is really judged according to the law. Even if the "eight arguments" are counted, Xu Jingzong will have to be beaten to the end and go home to eat himself.

Yu Chigong couldn't see that his relatives were really doomed, so he stood up and said a word for old man Xu.

Of course, he could intercede for Xu Jingzong, but it was up to His Majesty Li Er whether he listened or not.

If His Majesty Li Er doesn't want to let this matter go lightly, all he needs to do is hand it over to You Si for interrogation.

That's right, there is no proof of Yu Shi's death.However, Pei's dowry maid is not the only one.As long as this case is handed over to Yousi, it will not be difficult to find out.

The crux of the problem now is whether His Majesty Li Er wants to let Xu Jingzong go.

So what did the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty think?

As Yu Chigong wished, he really didn't want to get into this matter.

It would be nasty without it!

If what Mrs. Yu said is true—in fact, everyone believes it all, and it is good to say that a person is about to die!If this matter gets out, it will have a very bad influence on the court and the emperor.

If it is said that the matter of Yu Shi and Xu Ang's affair can be explained by the fact that a man can't keep his wife a virtuous and filial son, how can he explain it to the woman who was forced by the Minister of Rites to kill her son?

This is the official book of the Ministry of Rites. It stands to reason that he should be virtuous and be a model for the world.Otherwise, why do you think that the imperial court is in charge of the world's "rituals"?

A villain with no morals like Xu Jingzong actually sat in this position.Whose responsibility is it?

There is a treacherous minister in a high position in the court, so this monarch...is it too far-fetched to say that he is extremely wise?

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er is also willing to help Xu Jingzong cover up.

So, he said: "Xu Aiqing's boudoir is not serious, and she has no way to manage the family. She was fined for half a year. As for the case of taking a concubine as a wife... there is no real evidence, so I will not pursue it."

Xu Jingzong quickly fell to his knees and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er stood up and said: "Then this matter is settled." He glanced around again and said: "I hope that all the ministers can distinguish the importance of today's matter, what should be said, Don’t talk nonsense if you shouldn’t.”

"According to the order!"

……

……

The matter of the Xu family, in Guo Ye's view, this is already an extrajudicial favor.It can be said that Xu Jingzong took a big deal.Otherwise, although their family would not have ransacked their family and wiped out their entire family, they would surely perish from now on.

However, the public opinion in the society does not see it that way.With His Majesty Li Er's instructions, no one present will reveal the inside information.People can't see the way of this matter, they can only look at the excitement - the appearance of the matter.

What is the appearance of things?

Xu Ang was so daring that he even robbed King Qin's thousand-year-old woman?That's okay?First, it disturbed Guo Ye's first disciple, Sun Zishan, and then annoyed Guo Ye's sworn elder brother Wei Chigong, Duke of E.Later, the current princes all supported King Qin.

However, this is not over yet, in the end, this incident actually stirred up His Majesty.

What is the final result?Lei Shuyao was rescued back, Xu Ang was exiled to Lingnan, not only that, Xu Ang's mother, Xu Jingzong's wife also hit a pillar and died!

What does this mean?It shows that King Qin Qiansui has not lost his power, he is now a tiger's butt - can't touch it!Whoever touches it will die.

As for the incest between Xu Ang and his stepmother?Who would believe it!

The Xu family is not an ordinary family. Xu Jingzong's father, Xu Shanxin, was the Minister of Rites of the Sui Dynasty.Xu Jingzong himself was the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty.

Both father and son are high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Rites and have strict family traditions. How could such a thing happen?So this must be framed by King Qin!

Someone even described the truth of the matter vividly and said: "Actually, the situation at that time was like this. Xu Ang and Lei Shuyao fell in love, but were obstructed by King Qin. In desperation, Miss Lei eloped into Xu's residence."

"As a result, the King of Qin was furious and took people to forcefully go to the mansion to ask for someone. How powerful is the King of Qin? He not only invited Duke E and the prince, but also His Majesty. He insisted on punishing Xu Ang and robbing the people." A woman's crime."

"Although Mrs. Xu is a stepmother, she is extremely virtuous. She didn't want her son to suffer such injustice, so she bumped into a post and died. In order to cover up this matter, some incest was reported. In fact, this is pure nonsense. "

"Oh, what is wrong in this world... If you have money and power, you are right. If you have no money or power, even if you are as strong as Xu Shangshu, you will still have your teeth knocked out and your blood swallowed!"

Under the impetus of some caring people, this rumor spread more and more.Xu Jingzong's reputation did not decline but increased.As for Guo Ye, he has a bad impression in people's minds.

Of course, it's not completely useless, at least everyone understands that although King Qin doesn't have any duties and recently closed his doors to welcome guests, his power is much greater than when he was the Duke of Qin before.

If you don't believe me, please look at Xu Jingzong, even if Qin Wang Qiansui doesn't take advantage of it, it's like playing around with him.If you take care of the court ministers, do you need to ask about other people?

Of course Guo Ye was aware of these rumors, but he was too lazy to refute them.

Now he figured it out.When you get to this position, you don't have to be too cautious.Fame is almost not a bad thing, but it can reassure the court.Even if it is possible, you have to find a way to defile yourself.

Therefore, Guo Ye continued to enjoy the life of an otaku in the Qin Palace, allowing the rumors to spread.

However, what he didn't expect was that notoriety is also famous, and now he is remembered by someone who cares about him again.

On this day, two vicious guests came to King Qin's house.

In the past, Guo Ye would have welcomed the arrival of the two of them very much.But since returning to China this time, I am very reluctant to see them.When you see them, it's like seeing a creditor!

why?He is ashamed!

Of these two people, one is Huo Guogong Chai Lingwen's eldest son Chai Lingwen, and the other is Liang Wanwan's second son Liang Shuyu.

These two are good brothers of Guo Ye, and also Yu Nuannuan's enthusiastic suitors.They have been chasing Yu Nuannuan for many years but Guo Ye has always stated that he is not interested in this woman.

As a result, now he actually took the beautiful woman as his concubine.Going back on his promise and gaining weight, how should he explain to these two people?

However, this meeting was not as tense as Guo Ye imagined.As soon as the two saw Guo Ye, they saluted respectfully: "See King Qin Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui!"

"Two elder brothers, please get up quickly." Guo Ye clasped his hands together and said, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be polite. When you see me in the future, you don't need to pay respects."

Chai Lingwen said: "That can't be done, the upper and lower are superior and inferior, and etiquette cannot be discarded."

"Hey, brother Chai's words are wrong. The three of us are different from ordinary people. When we first met, Guo Mou was no worse than you at 01:30, but did you ever look down on me, Guo Ye? Now the identity is reversed , if I ask you to worship me, is that still a person?"

"But……"

Guo Ye put on a straight face and said, "It's nothing to worry about. If you still treat me as a brother, throw away all the red tape!"

Liang Shuyu sneered, and said, "Brother? Hehe, brother? A friend's wife is out of the question. What about a brother's wife? King Qin Qiansui, do you really think we are brothers?"

"This..." Guo Ye knew that he would have to face this problem sooner or later.

He said sternly: "For the matter of Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry for you. However, no matter how I explain it now, I have to be regarded as being a good boy for taking advantage of it. Now I can only say that as long as possible, I will try my best to make up for it." You two have something to ask for, as long as Guo can do it, he will agree to it."

The eyes of the two brightened, and they said in unison: "Okay, this is what you said!"

An ominous premonition rose in Guo Ye's heart, and he said, "You two came here today, did you come prepared? Tell me, what do you want from me?"
