Chapter XIV: Punishment

The fight between the two sons of the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion on the street was heard by His Majesty that day. His Majesty didn't like the Zhenguo Mansion in the first place, and he didn't like the little bully in the Eldest Princess's Mansion either.

That kid was spoiled by the eldest princess and didn't know how to do it, and he did something to bully men and women from time to time at a young age. If you want to say that there are no good things in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and you haven't seen any good things, you just grab the good ones if you see them in a shallow way. Therefore, he did not help each other, and he should not know about it.

The eldest princess didn't want to stop there. The next morning, she wore palace clothes and ran to kneel outside the Daming Palace. Hundreds of civil and military officials passed by her, and the ministers saluted her one after another, and entered the hall and stood in the hall.

The ministers knew that the eldest princess was looking for the town of the princess today. Most people are secretly worried about the Zhenguo Mansion, and some people despise the eldest princess in their hearts.

After the emperor finished handling the business, he called the eldest princess into the palace, and was very impatient to hear her complain upside down. This little thing even went to the place where state affairs were discussed to find him to support him, I really don't know how thick the sky is, I don't know what to say. If she meets her requirements, she is afraid that in the eyes of the minister, she will not be far from the faint king.

He asked Zuo Xiang how to deal with this matter, whether it is big or not.

Zuo Xiang saluted forward: "Back to Your Majesty, these two children are fighting, it is said that it is necessary to see who is unreasonable first, just apologize." ”

The eldest princess didn't do it: "The grandson of this palace is also a relative of the emperor, how can he be compared with an ordinary petty official child?"

Zuo Xiang shut up. The emperor's heart became angry, and he said calmly: "What does the eldest princess want?"

The eldest princess said arrogantly: "Beat that kid half to death and throw him out of Chang'an City, and he will never be allowed to step into Chang'an for half a step." ”

The emperor asked lightly: "What do you say?"

Zhenguo Gong knelt down and said, "Go back to Your Majesty." Yesterday, when the minister went home and learned that the four boys in the family were choosing the inkstone, the young master of the Wei family first snatched the inkstone in his hand, and then slapped the four boys of my family.

The minister carried out the family law on the four boys yesterday, and he was whipped thirty times and is now in the ancestral hall, and the four boys of the Chen's family vomited blood, and the minister strictly ordered that he was not allowed to administer medicine or food. Your Majesty, do you think you can spare the four boys of the Chen family? He only has half a life now, and if he throws it out of Chang'an City, I'm afraid he won't be able to live. He shed tears as he spoke, and at the end he was speechless.

All the officials in the court were sympathetic and helpless, but how dare they speak and set themselves on fire.

The eldest princess didn't wait for the emperor to reply, and said to Zhen Guogong: "It's not such a good thing, did you say that you would fight at home? You have to drag him to Chang'an Avenue to be punished in public for a hundred people, and then throw him out of Chang'an City." ”

All the officials gasped, this is a clear way to kill people. When two children fight, can an adult come forward and force someone to death? The people present decided to go home and strictly prohibit the children of the family from having any conflict with the little bully of the eldest princess's family. They must do the following: beating, not fighting back, scolding, not fighting.

Zhenguo Gong kowtowed: "Please ask the emperor to spare the lives of the four boys of the courtier's family." ”

The emperor thought to himself, borrowing my hand to beat other people's children to death, the eldest princess was angry, and I came to carry the black cauldron, and it was beautiful to think about it.

The eldest princess was about to speak, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "Who hasn't fought in the boy's family? ”

The eldest princess was ashamed and angry, the emperor actually rejected her in public today, leaving her old face with no place to put it.

The emperor continued: "Zhenguo Gong, according to what the eldest princess said, throw the four boys of your family out of Chang'an City, and you are not allowed to step into Chang'an City for half a step within five years." Let's disperse. ”

The emperor strode away, he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress his anger if he walked slowly.

The eldest princess stared at Zhen Guogong fiercely, snorted coldly and turned to leave. Zhen Guogong lowered his head, wiped his eyes, and walked out slowly step by step. Everyone looked at him sympathetically, but what could it be?

The prince also heard about the turmoil, and he sent someone to the Zhenguo Mansion to inquire about the news, and the old prince replied that he should not worry. Although the prince didn't understand why the Zhenguo Mansion, which had always been honest and low-key, was facing the Eldest Princess's Mansion. Since the old grandfather asked him not to worry, presumably they had a countermeasure, so he put it aside for the time being.

Zhenguo Gong returned home and told everyone everything that happened in the court, everyone was shocked, if the emperor listened to the words of the eldest princess and pulled his four boys to Chang'an Street to fight a hundred sticks, would there still be a life?

Zhen Guogong thought to himself, on the surface, the eldest princess took advantage of the fight, but in fact, she lost even more, because the emperor was annoyed with her.

Zhen Guogong said: "Send the four boys out of the city as soon as possible, when you go out of the city, you will make a big fanfare, and immediately change people and walk on a different route after leaving the city, and the eldest princess will definitely chase and kill the four boys." This vicious woman. ”

Lao Guogong said: "You have to find a few strong and loyal people to escort you, the four boys will be very dangerous along the way." ”

Feng Ling stood up and said, "Ling'er pretended to be an entourage to send the fourth brother, and I will come back when he is safe." ”

Everyone strongly objected, and her small body was dangerous to send one more person.

Feng Ling tried to convince everyone: "The eldest princess will definitely find someone to hunt down the fourth brother, except for her own family, Ling'er doesn't believe that any outsider can try her best to protect the fourth brother." We have to send the fourth brother to a safe place, and there is no one in the house to deliver it but me. I'm a girl and I'm young, and no one would have thought that I would send my fourth brother away. ”

Everyone shook their heads, thinking to themselves, you are weaker than the fourth child, which will make people more worried.

Feng Ling said: "Don't underestimate me, all of you here come to catch me." ”

She turned and ran out of the small hall, her body like a shadow, and disappeared in a flash. Not to mention catching her, no one knows where she is. After a moment she flashed back into the hall with a sword in her hand.

This is the magic sword given to her by the dragon girl, a sword that can only hurt people, not take people's lives.

She stood in the courtyard in front of the small hall and danced her sword in front of everyone, only to see that the sword man was one, like the wind and shadow.

Everyone was stunned.

The old grandfather asked, "When did Ling'er learn this swordsmanship?"

"A few days ago, it was the sword book that the old monk gave me. ”

"You'll see it?"

"yes, it's easy. ”

It's called very simple, and the sweat on the heads of the people is there.

"Where's the sword spectrum?"

"After reading it, I will be an old monk. ”

Dare to love the family or never forget.

Everyone has been frightened too much these days, and we need to sit down and discuss the countermeasures.

So, under the leadership of the old grandfather, the eldest lady and the second lady supported the old lady, followed by the master of the house and the maids and women who were waiting for them closely, and a group of people wore a covered bridge and walked to the main hall of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Grandpa Guo motioned for all the people waiting to retreat outside the courtyard. All the masters in the hall sat down in turn, except for the fourth young master who was locked in the ancestral hall and was leisurely reading the script.

The second lady Liu and the wife of the prince Xiao Chen served tea to everyone in turn.

The old grandfather took a sip of tea, gently put down the teacup, looked at everyone and said: "The Zhenguo Mansion is not a sacred heart, and now it has attracted the hatred of the eldest princess, and the life in our mansion will become more and more difficult in the future." ”

The second master and the second lady looked uneasy, and they stood up and saluted everyone to apologize: "It's all the fault of the little four, and everyone has been affected." ”

Grandpa Guo hurriedly took his brother's hand and asked him and his wife to sit down: "What is the trouble he caused, everyone else has been slapped in the face, or if you don't fight back, you will really be bullied by our Zhenguo Mansion." We are a family, we enjoy happiness together, and we have to bear difficulties together. ”

The old man and the old lady nodded their heads, and they looked at their children and grandchildren with relieved eyes.

Other mansions fight openly and secretly, some for property, some for titles, father and son become enemies and brothers turn against each other, children and grandchildren fight to the death, and even the family is ruined.

This has never happened to the Zhenguo Mansion. Those who have been knighted are tolerant of other brothers and sisters, and those who have not received a knighthood take care of the housework, and everyone works together to manage the town and state mansion well.

For example, now, the housekeeper was supposed to be the Duchess of the Kingdom, but after she gave birth to Feng Ling, she was not in good health, so she handed over the housekeeper's affairs to the second lady. The second lady is very capable, she takes care of the house properly internally, she is exquisite in communicating with the outside world, and she is also good at managing the shops in the grange. Therefore, after the Duchess of the Kingdom was well, she did not take back the management rights, and let the second lady always take care of the house, and she would help when she met a banquet or a holiday in the house.

Everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion knows: a single tree cannot make a forest.
