Chapter 43: Ji Zheng is punished with a cane

Tang House

Tang Xiang returned to the Tang Mansion angrily, and before he even had time to change his court clothes, he walked straight to the courtyard where Tang Ziyuan was.

Tang Ziyuan seemed to have known that he was coming, and the moment Tang Xianggang wanted to stretch out his hand to push the door, Tang Ziyuan opened the door.

"The Child Saw the Father"

"What's the matter, Ziyuan, how can you use Bodhi blood to do it to the princess?"

Tang Xiang was puzzled.

Tang Ziyuan looked at Tang Xiang, who was worried, closed the door tightly, and then turned around and knelt down towards Tang Xiang before speaking

"Father, you must not mention what I say next in front of others in the future, you have the right not to know anything about me in the future, and he will preside over the overall situation when the second brother returns."

Listening to Tang Ziyuan's tone, Tang Xiang also sensed that something was wrong, and then looked at Tang Ziyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter, you get up and explain it to your father."

Tang Ziyuan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not appropriate to say too much to Tang Xiang now, so he continued to speak

"If I am really arrested by Ji Fan, please ask my father to clear up with me, and then you can say that you don't know what they ask you."

"This, what's wrong with you kid, how could King Chen arrest you," Tang Xiang said anxiously.

"Father, I did all this for the sake of my entire Tang family, and I ask my father to remember what the child said today."

Then, regardless of Tang Xiang's worried expression, he stood up and summoned Tang Yu in. Leaned over to Tang Yu and whispered in his ear

"Tang Feng, Mo Qingqing and Jiang Guantong have news," Tang Yu shook his head.

"What about King Chen?"

Tang Yu still shook his head.

Tang Ziyuan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Yu and continued to whisper

"I've thought about it carefully in the past few days, but I still feel that something is wrong, you go find Ziyuan and hand him this letter, he naturally knows what to do."

Tang Yu took the letter

"Childe, are you really going to ......., but they haven't heard from them yet?"

"Just do what I tell you, and don't say anything else."

Tang Yu bowed, nodded, and withdrew from the room after putting the letter in his sleeve.

Then he looked at Tang Xiang, who was sitting on the main seat, and spoke

"Father is tired today, let's go back to the room early to rest"

Tang Xiang stood up, "Have you done something shady, you are confused, you have been an official in the court for your father for thirty years, and you have been promoted to the position of prime minister, what are you not satisfied with?"

Tang Ziyuan sneered, "Prime Minister, but father, don't forget, even if you are Prime Minister, there are two in my southern border"

"What's so hard to understand this, the prime minister's official position is not trivial, in order to avoid arbitrariness, what's wrong with setting up two prime ministers to check and balance each other, I think Your Majesty's move is sacred, and besides, I and Jinxiang, one is Si Wen, one is Si Wu, each performing its own duties, and there is nothing incompatible with each other."

"Father, it's already above 10,000 people under one person, isn't it like going one step further to be above 10,000 people, why can the people of their Ji family be emperors, but our Tang family can't"

"Presumptuous, do you know what you're talking about, if this word gets out, it will punish the Nine Clans, do you know what is the most important thing for us to be courtiers?"

Tang Xiang asked

Seeing that Tang Ziyuan was silent.

Tang Xiang straightened his clothes and spoke

"It is to understand my duty, I am the minister of a country, I should uphold the duty of being a courtier, try my best to assist the emperor, so that I can also become a famous minister of Liu Fangbaishi, you were going to marry Princess Linlun, I thought you really liked it, so I didn't stop it, I didn't take those rumors in the court seriously, it turned out that you really played this idea of deceiving and stealing and dancing, and playing power."

"Father"

Tang Ziyuan wanted to say something more. was interrupted by Tang Xiang again

"Enough, I don't want to hear these thoughts of coercion come out of your mouth anymore, you can study the "Rites of the Monarch and the Ministers" and "The Book of Rites" again" After speaking, he left Tang Ziyuan's room with a little anger.

Palace

He Daijin sat on the main seat with a serious face, and took a sip of the tea handed over by the maid.

Ji Zheng, who was tired all the way, had not drunk a sip of water since the morning, looking at He Daijin, who was leisurely drinking tea, Ji Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, swallowed his saliva and touched his throat before opening his mouth cheekily

"The queen mother, the son, the son is very dry and unbearable in his mouth now, and please ask the queen mother to enjoy tea to quench your thirst."

While speaking, his eyes stared at the tea in He Daijin's hand and did not turn around.

"You committed such a big thing and still want to beg for tea" He Daijin put the teacup on Zhuo Zi heavily, making a bang.

Ji Zheng shuddered, and immediately begged for mercy, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother and Sons can explain"

"Explain, I didn't see that you still need to explain in the palace just now, isn't your aggressive appearance all justified? I asked Master Qinghe to teach you martial arts since you were a child, but I didn't let you go into trouble, you count it carefully for me, not to mention that the palace is not in the palace all the year round, that is, the days when the palace is occasionally in the palace, how many times have you used your martial arts to break through the disaster, how many times have you been beaten, why don't you have a long memory?"

Seeing He Daijin's thunder and anger, Ji Zheng said aggrievedly, "It's not because of Tang Ziyuan... ”

"Tang Ziyuan, even if he has a holiday with you, but Tang Xiang is the founding hero of my southern border, he has been an official in the court for 30 years, he has solved problems for your father and emperor, and he has done his best for my southern border, how can you speak disrespectfully to him?"

"Didn't I hate Tang Ziyuan too much, I was blinded by hatred for a while, and I hated Wu and Wu?"

"You are still quibbling," He Daijin stretched out his hand in the direction of Ji Zheng and said angrily.

"Queen Mother, don't be angry, this time I went to the Tang Mansion to make a big fuss for a reason, it was because of Guan Tong, Guan Tong was kidnapped, Tang Ziyuan is the mastermind behind the scenes, although I have no evidence now, but the imperial brother also knows about this matter, and has been investigating, I thought that Guan Tong had already suffered an accident on the mountain, and he went to the Tang Mansion to find Tang Ziyuan's trouble after a while, as for Tang Xiang, I personally apologized to him in two days."

After listening to Ji Zheng's explanation, He Daiji's face softened slightly, "Could it be because you recently checked that the matter of your private salt workshop is related to Tang Ziyuan, so Guan Tong suffered this catastrophe" He Daijin is not stupid, listening to Ji Zheng say this, he will naturally understand if he thinks about it from a distance.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's him, he is the real murderer behind the private salt case, the royal brother is hiding Guan Tong now, it is estimated that there is substantial evidence that Tang Ziyuan is the mastermind behind the scenes, I am afraid that Tang Ziyuan will be suspicious, so I pretend not to find Guan Tong"

"What are you talking about, Guan Tong she" Hearing Jiang Guantong's news, He Daijin immediately got up from his seat and asked Ji Zheng.

"Ah, yes, I just found out about the queen mother, Guan Tong is fine now, but he was hidden by the royal brother, only the royal brother knows where it is hidden, and please rest easy with your father."

"That's good, knowing that Guan Tong is fine, the hanging heart of this palace can also be put down"

Seeing this, Ji Zheng saw the opportunity to speak

"Then the queen mother, can Zheng'er get up, Zheng'er is now dry and numb, very pitiful" Ji Zheng pretended to be pitiful.

"No, although there is a reason for the incident, but you still didn't do it right to make trouble with the Tang Mansion and injure dozens of family guards in the Tang Mansion, those dozens of family guards are also my people in the south, and they have no grievances with you, although you have shown mercy to your subordinates and only hurt them, but they are indeed innocent, and they have suffered this disaster for no reason, and they are bound to give them an explanation, so this board is indispensable"

Hearing this, Ji Zheng touched his buttocks, and said with a sad face, "My ass has just grown a few months."

"Since I'm afraid of pain, I should have a longer memory in the future," He Daijin said with some distress.

"This board is quite light, I didn't call the dozens of family guards who were injured by you to give you a good idea, so let's have a longer memory in the future."

Then he beckoned to the eunuch outside the door, "Someone, the princess made a big fuss in the Tang Mansion, picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and repeatedly taught and did not change, with fifty boards, it will be executed immediately, and after the sentence is completed, it will be punished and grounded for one month."

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Zheng'er knows that she is wrong, don't you" Ji Zheng cried out in mourning.

The guard came to Ji Zheng, Ji Zheng looked at the guard frantically, and when the guard saw this, he stood aside obediently, not daring to step forward to help Ji Zheng.

Seeing this, He Daijin said, "What are you doing in a daze, pull down and fight"

When the guard heard this, he immediately picked up Ji Zheng and walked towards the door.

Walking out of the main entrance, Ji Zheng spoke

"Two big brothers, you are the ones who execute me every time I am a child, and you can be regarded as watching me grow up, old rules, for the sake of me being so pitiful and often beaten by the board, you beat me lightly and screamed, and the benefits afterwards are indispensable to you," then looked down at the purse around his waist, raised his head and raised his eyebrows at the two guards.

The guards were hesitant and seemed to be a little evasive.

"Oh, what are you afraid of, how many times have you been doing this dark box since you were a child, why are you still so shy, you touch your conscience and tell the truth, have I treated you badly since I was a child, I want to leave a copy for the two of you if there is anything delicious, my brother and the emperor don't have this treatment"

"This, princess, you treat the two of us very well, it's not that we don't want to help you, it's that we really can't help you this time."

Ji Zheng was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

"The queen mother had already said in front of Tang Xiang before she left the palace to invite you, and this time she would personally supervise the sentence, so as not to be exploited by you"

"What, it's time to die, by the way, can you tell the queen mother about you, your hands are sore and it's inconvenient to carry out the cane, can you delay it for two days?"

"Princess, in this case, the mother will definitely let someone else implement it instead, maybe the fight will be heavier."

"It's over, it's over, today's half-life is probably going to be explained here"

Then the guards set up Ji Zheng and placed him on a bench specially used to carry out cane punishment, and He Daijin also stood in the pavilion not far away to personally supervise the punishment.

As the board rose and fell, Ji Zheng's screams also spread throughout the inner courtyard of the palace. In the end, the position of the buttocks was already bleeding, and Ji Zheng had no strength to scream, looking at He Daijin, who couldn't bear to look directly in the pavilion, he stretched out his hand and shouted softly to the queen mother, and then passed out, and there was no reaction.

He Daijin listened to Ji Zheng's screams and didn't dare to look at Ji Zheng with his eyes closed, and his heart hurt with Ji Zheng's screams, but she was not only Ji Zheng's mother, but also after a country, Ji Zheng made a mistake, even if she couldn't bear it, there was no way.

Listening to Ji Zheng's weak cry, the queen mother screamed. He Daijin immediately stepped forward and said with a distressed face, "Quick, go and call the imperial doctor, you guys carry Zheng'er in first"
