The Feng family's maid?

The ministers looked at each other, and their eyes exchanged the same message: Isn't the Feng family's maid a lowly person? What's worth mentioning?

Li Su drooped his eyelids and smiled bitterly, yes, a lowly life was brought to the court, and it seemed to taint the ears of these powerful people.

However, being a lowly is also a life.

Li Shimin was also quite surprised, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Li Su, what do you want to say, just say it." ”

Li Su looked at the courtiers in the palace and said: "Regarding the murder of the Feng family, Zhang Yushi investigated it very carefully, and returned the innocence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the ministers, and the ministers are sincerely grateful, however, is the murder case of the Feng family really over?" Zhang Yushi described the Feng family's murder in detail, but never mentioned the maid who was raped and tortured by Feng Gui and died, although the murderer had been killed by Zheng Xiaolou, but the murder was still a homicide, and that maid was the real source and cause of the Feng family's murder. ”

The ministers in the hall showed strange expressions.

Why does a lowly maid have to be brought to the court? Those who can enter the Taiji Hall to participate in state affairs, are naturally some prominent magnates, or children of the family, it can be said that here are all the characters at the top of the pyramid, for the impression of the lowly, I only know that they are some cheaper than cattle and horses, and they are born with price tags. What's there to say about this?

Looking at the strange expressions of the courtiers in the palace, Li Su suddenly felt a chill.

Trying to force himself to stop here, he has cleared his name, he has been detached from the matter, this is the time to go down the steps, Li Shimin wants to talk about his own views, what he wants to hear is nothing more than his own gratitude and virtue, to satisfy his imperial vanity. The maid is just a living creature that is not even as good as an animal, and Zheng Xiaolou naturally has to pay for his life when he kills someone......

Countless words of advice popped up in his mind, and Li Su tried to persuade himself to accept it when he saw it, and it was not easy for the case to reach this point.

The green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and Li Su fell into a violent struggle.

Long. With a self-deprecating smile, Li Su bowed and said, "Minister...... What the minister wants to say is, yes...... Thank you to Your Majesty, thank you Zhang Yushi for your insight, and for judging the case like a god, and the minister...... Speechless. ”

Seeing that Li Su suddenly changed his words, the monarchs and ministers in the palace all showed satisfied smiles.

Yes, just now this kid was afraid that he was too happy after he had just cleared his name, so he was incoherent. How nice it is now, it's normal, it looks cute.

Li Shimin was also satisfied, and smiled happily: "I heard that you like silver money the most in your life, so I will give you ten thousand gold, even if I am shocked for you, it is difficult for you to be wronged for no reason, and I am scared." In the future, don't play any tricks like pretending to be sick and resigning. ”

When the ministers heard this, they burst into laughter. The tense atmosphere in the hall was wiped clean by Li Shimin's words.

Li Su silently retreated to the court, and then quietly watched the next topic of the court, the next thing had nothing to do with him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to whether the current discussion was disaster relief or water conservancy, Li Su knelt in an inconspicuous corner at the end of the court, in a daze alone.

The voice of comfort in my head still rings in my ears. The crisis has been passed safely, it's time to be content, now is the best result, it can't be better, what does Zheng Xiaolou care about himself? Do you know him well?

Li Shimin is too powerful. Li Su tried his best to spread rumors and bring the matter to the court, but Li Shimin just had a faint look, and the whole case turned black into white, and everyone was happy, so the prince of the Tang Dynasty was still the gentle, courteous, filial and benevolent prince, but ,...... What about the maid and Zheng Xiaolou? Who screamed for them?

After today's court meeting, the Feng family's case will be sealed in the criminal department forever and will not see the light of day, and Zheng Xiaolou, in the autumn of next year, will be tied to the execution ground and beheaded without any suspense, but he, Li Su, is only sitting in the court at the moment, and he doesn't dare to say anything......

Without warning, a flame suddenly rose in Li Su's eyes.

It's still unfair! Still unwilling!

This is not a fair result!

In the court, the eldest grandson Wuji was telling Li Shimin about the relief of the locust plague in Hedong Road, and when he was talking about the key point, a resolute voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and countless eyes gathered on Li Su again.

Li Su stood up, gently flicked the hem of his official robe, and stood in the center of the hall, with a breeze blowing, and his clothes swaying lightly, like a fairy in the world.

Li Shimin frowned: "Li Su, didn't you have nothing to say just now?" ”

Li Su smiled faintly: "Chen, now I have something to say again." ”

"Say."

Li Su turned his head to look around at the ministers, and said: "The minister also wants to add a few words to the Feng family's murder case that Zhang Yushi just detailed, the Feng family's murder case began with a maid, that's right, she is a lowly person, kill her, probably only need to go to the government to pay a fine of 200 wen, and the matter can be revealed, but the minister also wants to say a few more words for these 200 wen......"

"That's a woman who is only twelve years old, a few years younger than Chen, this life has just begun, maybe even the period of flower letter has not arrived, twelve years old, her appearance and figure have gradually grown, and she has a little bit of posture, you are all powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, and there are countless maids and maids in the family, and you must know what fate awaits a lowly maid, especially a maid with a good look."

"That's right, Feng Gui, the son of the Feng family, coveted her, that night, Feng Gui forcibly entered her room, wanting to rape her, but the maid didn't obey, although she was a lowly person, but she was also a person with flesh and blood and soul, a living person, she knew that she was only worth two hundred Wen, but she still resisted, she scratched Feng Gui's face, and then ran out."

"A twelve-year-old girl, helpless, unaccompanied, sat alone in the forest outside Feng's house for a whole night, that night she spent in fear and fear, no one knows, how many tears she shed, no one knows, in the morning, she wiped away her tears, ready to go back to Feng's house, because she has nowhere to go, take a step out of Zhuangzi, she will be treated as a fugitive slave by the government, subject to more severe punishment, she can only choose to go back to Feng's house, and she is also ready, ready to obey Feng Gui, this is her life, I can't complain about others. ”

Li Su's deep voice spread in the hall: "...... However, the maid is still too young, she doesn't know how dirty the hearts of people in the world are, she thinks that as long as she obeys, she will save her life, but as soon as she stepped into the door of Feng's house, she was treated miserably, and Feng Gui dragged her to the room and raped her. After the rape, despite the maid's crying and begging for mercy, Feng Gui still cut off her hands and legs alive, and then continued to rape, the maid still had a trace of breath, and she didn't seem to believe it at this time. She was treated so cruelly that it wasn't until the end that Feng Gui cut her throat with a knife, and she was finally freed from this world......"

Looking at the silent magnates in the hall, Li Su saw the pain and shock on their faces.

Yes, the murder case has been boiling for half a month, but no one has ever said what fate the maid encountered, because in the eyes of the powerful, the Feng family's father and son are human beings. They are only considered "murders" when they die, and the maid is not counted, she is just an object worth 200 yuan, and no one will care about what the fate of these 200 yuan will be in the end.

To this day, after listening to Li Su whispering the fate of the maid in the court, they suddenly felt chills, for the fate of the maid and the cruelty of the Feng family.

Li Shimin's expression was tense. The muscles on his cheeks jumped, and he didn't know what he was thinking. But his face was ugly.

Li Su smiled, since he opened his mouth, he didn't care about the consequences.

Axiom, justice, such words are too pale, and Li Su has no intention of defending it. At least the so-called concubines and distant relatives of the Feng family were accused of being murderers by Zhang Xingcheng, and he was not interested in avenging them.

He doesn't have much sense of justice, just a little, and this little bit can only manage the injustices he sees with his own eyes at best, maybe most of the time. I don't even dare to care about the injustices I see with my own eyes.

Li Su is just a mortal, a vulgar mortal, cowardly, timid, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, greedy for small and cheap...... The faults of mortals can be found in him.

However, he is also different from mortals, real mortals will only be cowardly forever in their lives, but Li Su is standing in the court at the moment, crying out for a lowly maid who has never known him!

Looking at the shocked or sad expressions of the courtiers, Li Su smiled sadly, and continued: "The minister is too young to know how to be an official, for the sake of a lowly maid, he dares to complain on the golden palace of the court without knowing the severity of it, it is the minister's fault, but the lowly status is also a human life!" In the Feng family's murder case, she is the most innocent and the most tragic victim, why did the princes of the court and the central government never mention it? Why not? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that a life is only worth 200 yuan, this is the ancestral system set by Emperor Gaozu, and it is also the irretransferable law of the Tang Dynasty, but the minister still wants to issue a protest for this 200 yuan, protest against this ruthless law, protest against this cold world! Your Majesty, how much land and how many households are in the Tang Dynasty, I believe you and the princes of the court know better than the ministers, but how many lowly people are in the Tang Dynasty, and what kind of precarious days they live in, do you and the princes of the court know this? They have not broken the law or bullied anyone, but why are they treated like this, do they deserve it? ”

"Your Majesty, King Wu's war, the soldiers are in the song, the battle of Muye, the last blow to Shang before the battle, it is those slaves who are not even as good as the lowly status, Xun Zi said: 'Monarch, Zhou also; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat', Your Majesty, the lowly slaves in the families of many powerful landlords in the Tang Dynasty are also the people of Your Majesty, but in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they are only worth 200 Wen! ”

As soon as Li Su's voice fell, his surroundings were suddenly filled with shouts and scolds such as "bold", "presumptuous", and "daring to talk about the ancestral system".

In the crowd, Cheng Biting Jin looked indifferent, Niu Jinda was angry, and was about to stand up, when he was suddenly pulled by Cheng Biting Jin's sleeve, Niu Jinda looked back, but saw Cheng Biting Jin shaking his head slightly, and threw him a sly look, Niu Jinda was not stupid, and after a moment of stunnedness, he knelt down and returned to his seat, without saying a word, like an old monk.

As Li Shimin shouted "quiet", the noise in the court finally stopped.

Li Shimin stared at Li Su with complicated eyes, Li Su looked at Li Shimin with a calm face and fearlessly.

After a long time, Li Shimin laughed: "What a young hero, today I saw the edge of Er!" Why should you be angry? Li Su is the son of Wupin County, who is enshrined by my relatives, and he has the right to discuss politics when he enters the court, who said that he is 'talking about the ancestral system'? You can't help but underestimate my open-mindedness. ”

Li Su bowed and saluted: "The minister is young and ignorant, thank you for your magnanimity." ”

Glancing up at Li Shimin, Li Su's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Shimin was laughing, but he was laughing terribly, and his eyes were terrifying.

Quietly staring at Li Su for a moment, Li Shimin suddenly said lightly: "Today's court meeting will be dispersed, Li Su, follow me into the Manna Palace." ”

In the melodious and shrill shouts of the eunuchs, the hundred officials saluted respectfully, and dispersed after the mountain shouted long live.

Li Su followed the eunuch to the Manna Hall with trepidation.

When he arrived at the Ganlu Palace, the eunuch signaled Li Su to take off his shoes and go in, Li Shimin had not yet come, and the emperor was also very busy after the dispersal of the dynasty, busy removing his makeup.

Yes, when the emperor goes to court, he has to put on makeup, wear clothes on his body, wear ornaments, a golden crown on his head, and paint the eyebrows on his face and fly upward, so that he can show the emperor's majesty in front of the courtiers.

In daily life, Li Shimin would never dress up like this, he was too tired.

Li Su'an sat in the hall and waited for half an hour, and Li Shimin, who was dressed in a light bright yellow robe, was late.

Li Su hurriedly got up to salute, Li Shimin glanced at him with slanted eyes, then snorted lightly, didn't look at him, and walked into the hall with a tiger's step.

It's almost winter, and the stove has been burned in the hall, and the hall is warm, Li Shimin put his hands on the stove and roasted for a while, while Li Su honestly drooped his head and didn't make a sound.

After a long time, Li Shimin snorted: "The murderer who killed the Feng family's son is named Zheng Xiaolou, right?" ”

"Yes."

"He's your guard?"

"Yes."

Li Shimin sneered: "In order to save your family guards, you can be regarded as well-intentioned, in front of the courtiers, you said that girl so badly, Kong Yingda and Wei Zheng both old tears flowed out, if I don't deal with it, they will dare to point at my nose tomorrow and scold me for being a faint king, Li Su, you played with your cleverness to my head, huh?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is guilty." Li Su hurriedly bowed.

Li Shimin was just looking at him at this time, and said with a smile hidden in his smile: "Do you still have the intention of changing the laws of the Tang Dynasty?" Elevate the status of the pariah's slave to the next level, huh? ”

Li Su looked up expectantly: "Is it really possible?" ”

"No, you can't!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to kick him, but he felt that he had lost his manners, so he had to point at him hard: "Bastard boy, the Tang Dynasty ancestral system doesn't even dare to touch me, can you shake it lightly?" ”

"Since you can't change it, forget it." Li Su is very easy-going and authentic.

Li Shimin's forehead jumped a few times, his expression was very unkind, and after glaring at him fiercely, he said slowly: "The Feng family's father and son are cruel and vicious by nature, and they abuse and kill the slaves in the family, which is really unkind, such a family is not worthy of being my people, from today onwards, the Feng family's lineage has been beaten into the lowly family, and the Feng family's father and son are not allowed to erect a monument or pay tribute after their deaths......

Li Su looked at Li Shimin's face carefully, and said tentatively: "That Zheng Xiaolou ......"

Li Shimin finally couldn't help it, kicked Li Su's ass hard, and said angrily: "The Feng family is already a lowly person, what is the matter with Zheng Xiaolou killing a lowly son?" Go to the government and pay a fine of 200 wen on your own, and stop this matter! Are you satisfied? ”

Li Su was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for opening the net, and giving grace outside the law......"

Li Shimin stared at him for a long time, and sighed for a long time: "It's good if you are satisfied, you have suffering, and I also have hardships......"

Others didn't understand the headless words, but Li Su instantly understood.

Li Shimin needs a stable political situation and a prince who is praised by the world, so the person who framed Li Su suddenly changed from the prince to the right Shilang of the criminal department.

However, Li Su was wronged after all, and later Li Su talked about the fate of the Feng family's maid at the court meeting, Li Shimin knew very well what Li Su wanted, so he pushed the boat down the river and found a reason to beat the Feng family into a lowly status, and Zheng Xiaolou was acquitted, which was regarded as compensating for Li Su's grievances framed by the prince.

The balance between the emperor and the left and right can be seen from this.

As for the father and son of the Feng family, the incident started because they killed the lowly maid, and finally paid for their lives because of the lowly maid, and the Feng family also became a lowly family, one peck, one drink, one cause and one effect, and the reincarnation was so complete.
