The next day, when the saint came back from the next court, he did not hear the news that the palace people reported that Princess Pingyang asked to see her, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, and he was still a little worried about how to refuse Princess Pingyang's request to see her, and how to persuade her to go back, so as not to hurt her.

At this point, all plans fell through. The saint's mood was quite complicated, and after meditating for a while, he watched the sparse music sent by the political affairs hall.

I don't know how many hours I watched, and the palace people came to report: "Saint, Princess Pingyang of Anguo asks to see." ”

The saint was silent, and after a long silence, he said, "No, let her go out of the palace and return to the house!" ”

"Whoa."

The palace people didn't dare to say more, so they respectfully responded and went out to spread the word.

Princess Pingyang's expression today is more calm than yesterday, if yesterday seems to be calm and a little calm, today is really calm, hearing this, the head of the chin said: "Since my father doesn't want to see me, then I will leave the palace." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation. The saint inside was still waiting for the palace people to report the news that Princess Pingyang refused to leave, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for anything, and couldn't help asking: "What about Pingyang?" ”

The palace man replied cautiously: "Saint, the princess is out of the palace!" ”

"Why did you leave the palace?"

The saint couldn't help but be surprised, however, no one answered him. The saint waved his hand impatiently, waved away the palace people, and after a little thought, he ordered: "You go, go to the heavenly prison for a while, go and return quickly!" ”

"Whoa!"

The palace people trotted away.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the palace people came panting and returned: "Sage, after Princess Pingyang left the palace yesterday, she went to the heavenly prison to visit Xue Yuma. ”

The sage nodded, and there was a feeling that it was really so expected, but since Pingyang had already gone to visit, with the honest appearance of his son-in-law, he would definitely tell her calmly...... If the saint knew the four words of honey embarrassment, he would definitely feel like a bosom friend

This one and two, both of them are not worrying!

And so it was on the third day! Day 4...... On the fifth day, the saints were so ruthless that they didn't see Princess Pingyang. Until the sixth day, after the court meeting was dispersed, the prince and Pei Lin returned to the Zichen Hall with the sage, and the three of them finished their deliberations, and more than half an hour had passed since the dispersal of the court, and Princess Pingyang was late, and when the palace people came to report, the sage's expression was really wonderful.

The matter of Xue Lang angering the saint and being punished in the prison has spread in Chang'an City, and most of the people who should know the inside story have already known. Strictly speaking, Xue Lang is also a blunt admonition.

The prince naturally also knew, in general, Xue Lang's remarks could be regarded as fair, and he was the one who benefited, for the sake of Xue Lang's uprightness, the prince didn't mind saying two good words for him.

Pei was as silent as a mountain, as if he hadn't seen it, and the prince said: "Father, my sister is heavy, and she has been running around the palace for many days. I beg my father for mercy. ”

As he spoke, he pushed to the end, and his posture was very sincere. The saint snorted and said angrily, "Why do you want to see it? She must have come to intercede for Xue Lang, and it was better not to see me than to embarrass me. ”

As a good friend, Pei Lin couldn't see that the saint was actually soft-hearted, but there was only one step down, and he also spoke: "Speaking of which, if it is in an ordinary family, the son-in-law makes a mistake, and it is common for him to be beaten and scolded by his father-in-law, but this has nothing to do with his daughter." It is not easy to marry and run a family, and the daughter should be more merciful when she returns home, where is the reason to make the girl angry? A saint has a loving father's heart, can he bear it? ”

The saint was moved when he heard this, and after a little muttering, he said, "Well, if you are angry, you shouldn't be angry at my daughter." Someone came, and the princess came in. ”

"Whoa."

The palace people immediately went out to spread the word. After a while, Princess Pingyang came in calmly, her face was calm, her expression was calm, and she saluted meticulously: "My daughter greets her father." ”

The saint raised his hand: "Get up." Let's say it first, if you plead for Xue Lang, don't open your mouth, and your father will not allow it. ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Obey my father's orders." ”

The saint was dumbfounded. The prince coughed and called in a low voice: "Sister! ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Thank you, eldest brother, however, my young yang is guilty of a straightforward admonition, and in terms of the public, it can be described as a public loyalty to the country, and he is worthy of admiration, what is wrong?" If there is nothing wrong with it, why ask for mercy? ”

The crown prince was also speechless, looking at his father His Majesty Li Yuan, the father and son looked at each other, quite a little related.

Pei Lin silently glanced at the Li royal father and son, stepped forward, and said: "The princess is reasonable, as far as the princess is concerned, Xue Yuma's behavior that day can be described as not afraid of the emperor's authority, and he is honest and straightforward, loyal to the country, and an upright minister." However, the admonition should also be polite, does the princess think so? ”

The saint and the crown prince looked at Princess Pingyang in unison. Princess Pingyang bowed down to the saint and said: "Although the original intention of the horse is to admonish, but the words are too rude, offending the holy face, and the punishment of the father is also deserved." However, I beg the father not to be fatherless for the sake of the son in the womb of his daughter, and for the sake of the horse's public heart, let it fall lightly! After going around in a circle, he still pleaded, and did not say anything that made the saint's face feverish. The saint quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this daughter was raised too well, and she was tired of being a father.

The sage snorted: "Xue Lang's words, although they are well-intentioned, are rude and arrogant, and they almost treat me as if they were nothing!" If it is spared, once this case is opened, how will I maintain the majesty of the emperor in the future? Isn't it true that everybody can spit on me? Xue Lang, must be punished! ”

"Father!"

Princess Pingyang knelt down without hesitation and pleaded. The saint was unmoved, thinking of Xue Lang's words that day, the saint still had some anger in his heart, if it wasn't for the pity of his beloved daughter, others would have been blasted out by him!

"Father's ......"

The prince opened his mouth, and was about to help Princess Pingyang speak and intercede for Xue Lang, but the sage had already interrupted him: "Da Lang is not allowed to intercede for Xue Lang!" Wu Na boy, so bold and rude to me, not punishing is not enough to calm my heart! ”

At this time, the prince didn't dare to persuade anymore.

Pei Lin looked at Princess Pingyang who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the saint who was still angry on his face, took a step forward, and saluted: "Enlighten the saint ......"

As soon as the words began, the sage interrupted him: "Pei Qing's family also wants to intercede for Xue Lang?" ”

Pei Lin said solemnly: "The saint, not for Xue Lang, but for you, the saint." ”

"Me? Xue Lang rushed against me, I didn't judge him for his capital crime, I am already magnanimous, how can I say it? ”

The saint was puzzled. Pei Lin said: "This matter is known to the ministers, and the punishment of the saint is indeed magnanimous, but how will it be recorded in the history books of later generations?" Can a saint be thoughtful? ”

The saint was silent.

Pei Lin continued: "Xue Lang is loyal to the country, and he is also an upright minister, not afraid of the emperor's authority, and he will only be called a direct minister in the history of future generations. However, if there is no Your Majesty who has not adopted the advice of the direct ministers, how will the history books of later generations be evaluated, please think twice, don't lose the big because of the small! ”

The saint's face was shocked, and he suddenly said: "The Qing family is reasonable, this matter is ...... I'll talk about it later. ”

Pei Lin responded: "Huh! ”

The sage glanced at Princess Pingyang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "My son get up, Xue Lang's matter, I have made up my mind, you go back, take care of your body, and wait for the fall!" ”

"Father's ......"

"Needless to say, step aside."

"Oh, quit!"

Even if Princess Pingyang was unwilling, she could only give a gift and leave.
