Although the Mo family was affected by the rumors of using poisoned food, its reputation was slightly damaged, but with the news of Tubo sorghum as a raw material, the listing of exquisite crystal to relieve thousands of sorrows took advantage of the Mo family's victory over the Luoyang family, and once again prevailed in Chang'an City.

And Xie Qianchou is the first high-level wine in Datang, if the amount of alcohol is not good, I am afraid that he will get drunk soon, and it didn't take long for Lu Shuang to get drunk in the restaurant.

However, at the same time that Lu Shuang was drunk, the emperor's newly sealed Chonghua Zheng family, who originally had a marriage contract with Lu Shuang, spread in Chang'an City, and it was soon rumored.

"Rebel! You know how much trouble you're into! ”

In the house. Fang Xuanling stared at Fang Yiai with an angry face, and was about to greet Fang Yiai with a ring ruler in his hand.

"Dad, kid, this is righteousness! Lu Shuang and Zheng Chang are so hateful that they are robbing in public, and the children really can't stand it. Fang Yiai immediately hugged his head and fled, while arguing.

"The Son of Heaven is using force at his feet, you are still reasonable." Fang Xuanling was furious, and couldn't help but raise the family law together.

"Okay, if you fight again, you'll beat Erlang to death." Lu rushed over and took care of the house.

"Mother!" Fang Yiai hurriedly hid beside Lu's side.

Fang Xuanling's anger subsided a little when he saw the Lu family, and said hatefully: "It's all your good son!" This kid not only joined the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce without permission, but also seized the group of people in Luoyang, and even extorted a large amount of ransom from them! ”

"So what?" Lu Shi was unmoved.

Fang Xuanling said angrily: "Are you still used to him? ”

Lu Shi said indifferently: "The Western Regions Chamber of Commerce is not competing with the people, Erlang can't inherit your title, and he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, why not!" ”

"And what about this ransom that was extorted?" Fang Xuanling said angrily.

"Since the Luoyang family has done something wrong, it is natural to have the consciousness of paying the price, in my opinion, just take some money, it is already cheap for them." Lu Shi said fiercely.

Although the Lu family has a marriage with the Luoyang family, the Lu family has no feelings for these distant relatives, and will naturally protect the interests of their sons.

"Yes! Father shouldn't just let go of the Luoyang family! ”

Fang Yiai suddenly said in a loud voice, it was impossible for him to spit out the fat that reached his mouth.

Fang Xuanling reluctantly put down the ring ruler and said: "Since it has been done, it is naturally not good if you talk back again, and when the ransom in Luoyang arrives, donate it to the Red Cross immediately!" ”

"All donated?" Lu Shi suddenly felt distressed and said, this is a lot of money!

"In the woman's opinion, do you think that your majesty does not know such a big movement? Donating to the Red Cross is also considered to protect the Fang family from disasters. Fang Xuanling glared at Fang Xuanling hatefully and said.

Others don't know Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, naturally knows how strong Li Shimin's control over the entire Tang Dynasty is, and Li Shimin naturally sends people to keep an eye on such a big thing as the business war between the Luoyang family and Mojia Village, and how can the things that happened on the brick road be hidden from Li Shimin.

"Ahh Fang Yiai was dumbfounded, and said repeatedly: "I listen to my father, and I will definitely donate to the Red Cross." ”

"Remember, you must donate anonymously, otherwise if it spreads and the house donates so much money, I'm afraid the old man will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." Fang Xuanling commanded uneasily.

"Rest assured, the child knows what to do." Fang Yiai nodded.

"Take a good look at your good son, the old man has to go to the palace again!" Fang Xuanling complained to the Lu family.

"Enter the palace, why do you still want to enter the palace at this time! Isn't there no official business today? Lu Shi was dissatisfied, and finally Fang Xuanling rested for half a day, and he even had to go to court.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "It has been spread all over the palace and outside the palace, Your Majesty's newly sealed Chonghua Zheng family and the Lu family have a marriage contract, and today it is definitely to discuss this matter." ”

Lu Shi was taken aback and said, "There is still such a thing? ”

Immediately, the Lu family took care of Fang Xuanling, put on his court clothes, boarded the carriage, and went directly to the palace.

Tai Chi Hall.

"Have you ever been engaged?" After Li Shimin heard the news that Zheng and Lu Shuang had a marriage contract, he couldn't help frowning.

Wei Zheng came out of the queue and said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed a marriage contract, the Zheng and Lu families have many marriages, and Lu Shuang and the Zheng family have been engaged, this is known to everyone, and it is not a secret." ”

"There is such a thing!" Li Shimin exclaimed, this is the first time he has heard that it is strange that Li Shimin is in a good mood when he hears that the woman he likes has been engaged to someone else.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Ling Hu Dedi, couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this: "The Zheng family originally had a marriage contract, but they deceived the monarch and clattered the royal family!" Please order a thorough investigation of the Zheng family's crimes. ”

Linghu Dedi was originally a member of the Guanlong family, and he was not right with the Luoyang family, so he was naturally happy to fall into the ground, not to mention that he Linghu Dedi was an official of the Ministry of Rites, and it was within his scope of responsibility to appear such things.

Many officials of the Luoyang family couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, bullying the monarch is not a very serious crime, if the Zheng family is allowed to sit down, I am afraid it will not end well.

An official from the Luoyang family hurriedly came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is still unknown whether Zheng and Lu Shuang have a marriage contract, and Your Majesty has ordered before that all marriage contracts under the age of fourteen will be invalidated, as long as the two have not re-formulated the marriage contract, it is naturally not considered to be a bully." ”

"Oh! I did give this edict! Li Shimin's face softened slightly.

Wei Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Even so, this is not in line with etiquette, and now the matter of the Zheng and Lu families marrying has spread all over Luoyang, Chang'an, I am afraid that it will damage Your Majesty's reputation." ”

Wei Zheng's worries are not unreasonable, knowing that the marriage contract between the two has been invalidated, but the uninformed people must think that it is Li Shimin who snatches love with a knife.

As soon as Wei Zheng spoke out, many civil officials immediately echoed it, if such a scandal came out of the harem, it would indeed be extremely inappropriate.

Just when the courtiers were one-sided, to everyone's surprise, Fang Xuanling suddenly came out and said: "The Zheng family is allowed to marry the Lu family, and there is no obvious situation, not to mention that the great gift between Your Majesty and the Zheng family has been completed, and it cannot be stopped." ”

The ministers couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect Fang Xuanling to take the initiative to defend the Zheng family.

But I didn't know that Fang Xuanling was bitter for a while, the reason why he got involved in this kind of thing was not to wipe his son's ass and help the Zheng family once, so as to resolve the grievances with the Luoyang family.

Moreover, Fang Xuanling's words just said that in Li Shimin's heart, if there was no previous edict to abolish the marriage contract under the age of fourteen, Li Shimin would definitely give up for his reputation as generously as in history.

But now that he is not rude, and the edict to canonize the Zheng family has been issued, if he is allowed to spit on himself, he is unwilling in his heart.

"Back to Your Majesty, before the minister came, Lu Shuang had asked Weichen to go to the table, Zheng and Lu's two families were originally in-laws, but they had close financial exchanges, and there was no marriage contract, and the two families may be suspected of close relatives, so it is naturally impossible to establish a relationship." An official of the Luoyang family said that he came with the entrustment of the Zheng family, and he must promote Zheng Chonghua's affairs, so he naturally spared no effort, as for Lu Shuang's table, it is naturally true, even if he borrows wine to drown his sorrows, under the persecution of the Luoyang family, he can only write this table obediently, not to mention that the marriage contract between the two of them has been dissolved.

Li Shimin nodded at this time and said, "In this case, we will suspend the discussion of this matter at this time, and discuss it again after the matter is clarified." ”

Wei Zheng frowned suddenly, if it was according to the character of Li Shimin in the past, he would definitely not allow this kind of thing that might damage his reputation, but today's Li Shimin was beyond his expectations, and it seemed to have become different.

"It just so happens that all of you Aiqing are here, and Qingque's "Chronicles of the Earth" also has unexpected results, how about you love me to open my eyes?" Li Shimin laughed and changed the topic.

"Dare to disobey!" The ministers immediately bowed and said.
