Chapter 186: Family Affairs, State Affairs

In March of the tenth year of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Guangping and Mrs. Guo argued for Xishi Fangmen, during the dispute, Princess Guangping was frightened and fell from her horse, and her horse Cheng Chang was injured by the Yang Mansion with a horse whip. ( . The next day, Tang Xuanzong issued an order to remove the official position of Cheng Chang, who was not allowed to go to the court, and ordered him to think about it behind closed doors, and at the same time killed Yang Da with a cane and reprimanded Mrs. Qiu Guo to set an example.

For such a compromise of fifty boards each, although Yang Qing felt a little ridiculous, it was not unacceptable - after all, he was not a party, and the punishment had nothing to do with him. Although he is also known as a member of the Yang family and a side of the noble concubine, Yang Qing has never had the consciousness to associate himself with Wuyang Zhai and Yang Guozhong.

But this seemingly ordinary little thing, for all forces in Chang'an, and even the current saint Li Longji, the influence is probably a little greater than everyone expected.

Yang Yuzhen, the heartless wife of the Kingdom of Qiu, lost her temper after Yang Da was killed by a cane, but she died just a lowly person in her own family, and she didn't take it to heart. Even because the saint punished the concubine Cheng Chang, she thought in her heart that the Yang family was really deep-rooted, and even the saint had to worry about a little face, so she was still unscrupulous and swaggered in and out of Yang Guozhong's mansion all day long.

Yang Guozhong should be regarded as the mastermind in this matter, if Yang Yuzhen did not get his tacit consent, he might not dare to order the whipping of the horse. But afterwards, he seemed to be out of the game, and he had no impact at all, let alone punishment, and Xuanzong didn't even mention him. Yang Guozhong, who is not so sensitive in politics, actually takes it for granted that his clan sister is the most important thing to the saint after all, and even such a disobedient crime has passed lightly, what is there to be afraid of in the future? I didn't expect that this was just the result of Xuanzong's deliberate low-key handling of the matter because he was worried that it would affect the court situation.

Princess Guangping learned that her father finally ordered Yang Da to be killed, and the evil anger in her heart naturally calmed down a lot, and then thought about Xuanzong's difficulties, so she died down, and her heart that originally wanted to find an opportunity to enter the palace to complain also faded. It's just that poor Cheng Yuma's performance in this matter is too cowardly, and he has completely angered the lady who is too big, and now he can't even enter the bedroom, and the little happiness that he doesn't have to go to the early court because of the punishment has long been eliminated, and he is sad every day, just thinking about how to make the princess's wife angry as soon as possible.

And Yuhuan, because of this profound understanding of righteousness, made Xuanzong feel a little surprised, and his love for Yuhuan was naturally better than before, which also made Yuhuan secretly grateful to Yang Qing - my nephew just has vision!

The other harem concubines who don't know why didn't figure out what was going on, anyway, when they heard that Yang Yuzhen's slut was punished by the saint, the concubines who were more active immediately thought about it. No matter how favored Yang Yuhuan is, isn't he not canonized as the queen? Now that her sister has lost such a big face, is the saint also tired of her? Is his cold days coming to an end? For a while, in the harem of Daming Palace, not only Shaofu Temple began to be busy-the ladies were finally in the mood to clean up and dress up, and even the Guanglu Temple was also busy-the ladies had to make up for it, and the ruddy complexion was good to see the sky, at least it had to be plump, didn't it? Isn't Yang Yuhuan stronger than our sisters!

The change of things came from a little palace maid beside the concubine. Yang Guozhong is not worried about his sister, but Yuhuan is really disgusted with political deception, Yang Guozhong was still a planner, so he knocked on the side to Yuhuan to inquire about Xuanzong's words, Yuhuan dealt with it coldly after a few times, and simply gave him a question. Since then, Yang Guozhong has understood that he must put a few eyes and ears around his sister.

The palace maid called Xiaoji was greedy for the lot of money rewarded by Yang Guozhong, and honestly told Yang Qing about his plan to Yuhuan, Yang Guozhong felt very uncomfortable, and he really spent a lot of effort to win over Yang Wang's family. Yang Wang ignored the hydrangea he thrown, and none of the officials promoted in the three provinces and six ministries went along with his own wishes; Even Yang Qian, a small head of the military department, no one dared to touch him under his own care. But now in exchange for such an ending!

After complaining with Yang Yuzhen, Mrs. Qiuguo, who was not strict-mouthed, went home and lost her temper, and after being heard by the subordinates, it spread again, and within a few days, almost the entire Chang'an City knew the ins and outs of this matter.

Although Li Linfu's faction has long since changed from what it used to be, this incident still made them smell a trace of unusualness. Yang Guozhong is fine, but everyone knows the truth that both glory and loss are lost, what is the difference between Mrs. Qiu Guozhong losing face and Yang Guozhong himself losing face? What is the Holy One thinking again? A tentative little counterattack began, although it didn't hurt the roots, but it also made Yang Guozhong anxious for a while, busy extinguishing all kinds of small fires, and didn't even think of why for a while.

And political prostitutes like Jiwen, who are accustomed to hugging several thighs at the same time, have also begun to become uncertain, and dare not make a clear move to which side to fall. The most obvious example of this is that Lord Jiwenji has been visiting Yang Mansion less often.

Chang'an was turbulent for a while, and the secret war continued. But Yang Qing, who was supposed to be in the center of the whirlpool, didn't bother to pay attention to the strange atmosphere in the court, he was being tortured enough by another annoying thing.

"Husband, why don't you go for a trip?" Qin Juan looked at the invitation card in her hand with some embarrassment, this was the third day in a row.

Yang Qing raised his head in distress, stopped talking, and sighed again.

"No matter how you say it, people are also famous talents. The concubine also knew that Miss Li's evaluation in the eyes of the literati of Chang'an was really not low. If the husband doesn't go again, he will meet others and be gossiped. ”

Yang Qing smiled bitterly twice, and asked Xiao Si to apologize with the greeting post that day, and any words to apologize were polite, which no one could see! How did Li Wa take it seriously? For several days in a row, one invitation a day, I am not afraid that Juan'er will be powerful and dismantle her Minghe Qu?

"Juan'er...... I ......"

Qin Juan smiled shyly: "Husband is afraid of annoying the concubine, right?" Or when I'm saying something against my heart? What the concubine said to the two of them is true! This thing, husband makes our sisters have a long face! Let's go for a trip, and besides, my husband did say that he was going to apologize that day, so it's hard to say it and not believe it, right? ”

Xiang'er and Bell nodded vigorously, and there was no chivalry in their expressions.

Yang Qing was persuaded a little moved: "This ......"

Qin Juan stuffed the invitation card into Yang Qing's hand: "It just so happens that my husband came back early today, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so let's go now." Remember to drink less alcohol and let Brother Shang accompany you. ”
