Chapter 249: The Beginning of Division
readx;
Now that the plan has been decided, it is time to discuss how to arrange the staff. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Cheng Qing originally planned to listen silently and remind them at the right time, so as not to leave any loopholes. Unexpectedly, his move attracted the attention of several juniors, as if they were deeply surprised that he still existed. So he had no choice but to take his leaveβwhy should he stay here and be disliked when they had not yet established enough trust in each other?
"Uncle walks slowly." Li Hui and Princess Changning said. Wang Zixian gave a look to the handsome young man next to him, and the young man bowed his head lightly and sent the "distinguished guest" out of the Taoist temple.
"A certain Sun Erlang opened a Sun family restaurant in the northwest of Pingkangfang. If the horse wants to send a message to the king, he can send someone to him. The moonlight sprinkled on the young man's body, and his appearance became more and more colorful. He took out a mutton fat white jade pendant like a crescent moon from the sleeve of his wide robe, and said lightly: "This is a token, I hope the horse will keep it properly." β
Cheng Qing took the jade pendant into his arms, and after looking at him carefully, he laughed lowly: "Xuan Qi and Wang Buque are really eclectic. For their sake, you'll be able to see the person you want to see next time. In addition, I have to tell you that the Anxing Eldest Princess's Mansion is not an easy place to enter and exit, so don't waste your efforts and manpower in vain, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses. β
The young man was stunned, and then saw the colt quickly approaching, and said in his ear, "Remember? Jiro ...... No, Mrs. Sun. With that, he put on the hood of his black cloak and disappeared silently into the night. The young man bit his lip with some annoyance and stood in place, until the footsteps of Wuhou patrolling were faintly heard, and then he retreated into the Taoist temple.
In the next few days, several more officials were exposed as the remnants of King Peng and sent to Dali Temple for trial. Their family asked around for news, and they just wanted to use all the connections they had accumulated on weekdays, but they still couldn't interfere in the case. Relatives and colleagues who used to be close to each other have severed ties with them in the blink of an eye. In desperation, they even did not hesitate to go to the chief of the three divisions and the mansions of important ministers such as the Duke of Wu, the Mansion of Jianguo, and the Mansion of King Jing to kneel down and plead, but it still had no effect.
At this moment, by extreme chance, they heard people say that these people were all confessed by Princess Anxing, and the charges were undoubted. For a moment, all the despair turned into anger.
Why is Princess Anxing able to live a leisurely life in the princess's mansion by confessing a few "remnants" from time to time? And their family's Ah Lang is just confused and does something wrong, and it is very likely that he will be reduced to exile or even beheading?! If it weren't for the eldest princess of Anxing, how could they be obsessed? The culprit does not have to be punished, but is an accomplice who is severely punished, how can there be such a reason in the world?!
So, on the one hand, these family members took the opportunity of visiting the prison to persuade their own Ah Lang to also learn from Princess Anxing to make meritorious contributions, and on the other hand, they surrounded Princess Anxing's mansion with their slaves
γ Because the eldest princess of Anxing is under "house arrest", the three layers inside and outside the house are all Jin Wuwei. They didn't dare to offend these Jin Wuwei who carried horizontal knives, so they only stood outside the house and wept and wept. Jin Wuwei, who had never seen such a scene, and passers-by were dumbfounded.
In the princess's house, the eldest princess of Anxing is lying leisurely on the rattan to enjoy the coolness. The maid beside her gently fanned, or fed her chilled cherries, or held the buttermilk with a hint of coldness, and served it very comfortably. She seemed to be asleep, and suddenly heard the faint crying outside, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
A maid who was good at reading eyes immediately withdrew, and soon came back to report: "I don't know when, a group of slaves surrounded outside, crying to Jin Wuwei and people passing by, Jin Wuwei did not disperse them, turned a blind eye and let them talk nonsense. There were a number of civilians in the vicinity, and they all listened to their ...... One side of the word, one after another, they talked about it......"
"One-sided?" The eldest princess of Anxing raised her eyes lazily.
The maid trembled slightly, and Fang lowered her head and continued: "The slave has only listened to one paragraph, probably complaining that your lord persuaded their lord to rebel against King Peng, but now he is relying on ...... Wear the guilt and make meritorious service to say the remnants of the sin...... And the exonerating ...... Xu was too nervous, but in an instant, her forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and she didn't know how to properly relay those words.
"Which ones?" The eldest princess of Anxing squinted, and seeing that she couldn't answer, she sneered, "Stupid! As soon as she finished speaking, two maids next to her dragged the limp maid out, and the rest of the maids remained silent, and even the frequency of the fan never changed.
Not long after, Cheng Qing came to the dormitory: "I just heard the cry outside, I was really depressed." I sent someone to inquire carefully, and it turned out to be these families-" He said the names of three or four Beijing officials above the fifth grade, and said lazily: "But it is also very strange, what do you do if you don't go to Dali Temple to complain about your grievances and come to surround the princess's mansion?" Fortunately, we don't have to go out now, otherwise wouldn't they be blocked in the house? β
"......" Princess Anxing was silent for a moment, and suddenly waved her hand to knock over the plate containing cherries next to her to the ground. The porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, cutting the cheeks of the maid next to her, and also brushing the back of Cheng Qing's hand. The maid naturally remained motionless, while Cheng Qing frowned and looked at the wound. This is not the first time he has seen Princess An Xing's gaffe so far, but every time he feels extremely disgusted.
"Someone went to check to see who it was, and confessed these people!!" Princess An Xing said sharply, and immediately a maid retreated silently. However, when she looked at Cheng Qing again, she showed a slightly strange smile: "Donkey, I have been locked up in the house for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions." The new people are really getting more and more useless, and they can't say that they want to borrow someone from the Liang Guo Mansion. β
"A-Niang has restrained the Liang Guogong Mansion very tightly, I'm afraid-" Cheng Qing made a look of embarrassment.
"As long as you mention that the people who serve around you are not devoted, it makes it uncomfortable, Mrs. Lu...... How could Ah Jia be indifferent? The eldest princess of Anxing stood up, walked slowly to his side, and exhaled like an orchid, "It's just a matter of words, what?" Even a few slaves and maids, you are reluctant to give me a make? β
"......" Cheng Qing held her hand and kneaded it slowly, "What kind of slave does your lord want?" If you don't prepare properly, you will disappoint your lord. Both sexes? Age? Temperament? Behaviour? No matter what your lord asks, I will definitely ask Ah Niang to find me, so that your lord can live more comfortably. β
The eldest princess of An Xing thought for a moment: "There are ten little maids and maids in their teens. You don't have to be eye-catching, you don't have to be too smart, you just have to be loyal. After being locked up in the princess's mansion, it was difficult for her to spread the news through the heavy gold guards, and it was even more difficult to get the news. This also made her gradually lose control of the situation in Chang'an City, and I don't know if the news has been sent out of Beijing to the person who should be sent it. If she didn't think of forcibly pulling the Liang Guogong Mansion over, she would only be as ignorant and passive as she is todayβand she would never accept that she had fallen to this!
"Your lord...... feel relieved
γ Cheng Qing curled the corners of his lips, "It's not easy to do something for you, I will definitely personally select these people." "This is a good opportunity to arrange people to the side of the eldest princess of Anxing, even if there is a danger to your life at any time, it is worth sending someone to try! In the future, this is one of the most critical evidences for the Liang Guogong Mansion to abandon the dark and turn to the light!!
Not to mention that the couple had their own plans, and various gossip gradually began to circulate in Chang'an City. There are countless rumors about the eldest princess of Anxing acting as a tiger, but still living comfortably by confessing to others. And because of her original bad reputation, she also inexplicably added many fragrant legends, such as these people were originally her guests in the scene.
The more the rumors spread, the more restless many people became. At the same time, the saint pardoned a criminal, deprived him of his official position, imposed thirty lashes, and allowed his family to redeem him for ten thousand gold. is clearly a rebellious remnant, after dispersing half of the family's wealth, he can continue to live happily in Chang'an, which is enough to shock many people.
An upright official made a question, which caused a controversy in the court.
Prince Xian of the Zuo Buque of the Provincial Sect still stood up without hesitation and fought for the saint: "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" After that, it can be changed, and the good is great! One is that although this person is a rebel, he has not assisted the rebel in doing any great rebellion. After the case of King Peng, because of the guilt in his heart, he took the initiative to confess to Dali Temple and confessed to the remnants of his sins - if you are so harsh on those who have made meritorious contributions, how many people will be willing to surrender and confess in the future?! β
"Rebellion is a heinous sin, and how can it be easily forgiven?" couldn't help but pop out, it was Yang Qian, who was depressed and indignant in his heart. "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle. If there are clearly agreed regulations in the Law, why not follow them mutatis mutandis? β
"Then Yang Buque knows that the Criminal Department is commenting on the law recently? If we only discuss the law and do not judge the severity according to reason, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of using heavy punishments for minor crimes! Emperor Taizong once mentioned that the trial of the case should be considered and punished carefully, and it cannot be generalized! The trial of this case is to imitate Emperor Taizong! Moreover, the saint has always been merciful, not only to his relatives and relatives, but also to the court officials and the people as people! What is the intention of the saints to use the heavy scriptures? β
"......" Yang Qian was speechless for a while, his eyes were round, and his face suddenly turned gray. These days, he has been frustrated again and again, and he will be suppressed by Wang Zixian almost every day, and he has long been depressed. originally thought that he would definitely be able to come out this time, so despite Yang Shijing's obstruction, he privately assembled a group of officials, wanting to win a good reputation of "fearless". Now the defeat has been decided, and he was almost charged with "plotting misdeeds" and "shaking the people's hearts" by the other party.
This is not the usual prelude to the king, but a big court. In front of hundreds of high-ranking officials from the end of the Nine Grades to the Purple High-ranking Officials, after such a setback, he suddenly felt a sweet meaning welling up in his throat. In order to avoid the palace attendant Yushi impeaching him for his failure to honor the emperor, he had to swallow back all the blood, and then looked at the prince, and when he looked at the prince, his eyes, which were usually well hidden, revealed a bit of resentment.
Wang Zixian was keenly aware of his hatred, and his heart was slightly swaying, and he continued to fight according to the scriptures, sweeping away a lot of opponents.
The sage curled the corners of his lips and glanced at his nephew, who was smiling and silent. The prince has attracted everyone's attention, and how many people know that this suggestion was made by the king of Xin'anjun? When these officials jumped out, I am afraid that they still don't know the cause and effect, and they can't complain that they can fight the heroes just by virtue of the prince's dedication.
"Those who do not repent, I will not be spared. However, if there is a desire to repent and have not committed a grave mistake, a lenient punishment also has the intention of persuasion. There is no need to say more, and we will discuss it separately after the commentary on the law is completed. β
Gently raising his hand and letting one go, there were a few more names on the list, and then pulling out a string of strings like a gourd -- such benefits can be calculated by anyone. However, if it weren't for his nephew's "straightforward" temper, I'm afraid that other courtiers would have thought like this a long time ago, and they would have hesitated to speak? He naturally hates those who plot rebellion, but if he wants to make meritorious deeds for a minor offense, what does it matter if he is merciful?
