Insulting the prime minister and insulting the prince are both serious crimes. Which one is more sinful? It's hard to say.

Let's not talk about the details, just talk about the difference between the prince and the prime minister. In the Tang Dynasty, the status of the prince is slightly higher than that of the prime minister. Air-to-air words do seem to be a great sin to insult the Prince.

But in the specific implementation, the key depends on who the prime minister and the prince refer to. In addition, the identity of the prisoner himself is also important for the judgment of the crime.

What is a money bully? Of course, his insult to the prime minister is an unforgivable crime and should be punished with a thousand cuts. But Xu Jingzong insulted the prince as the right servant of Shangshu, so there are many theories.

Also, Qian Ba made a move, but Xu Jingzong just moved his mouth. Even if this happened in modern society, it has to be said that Qian Ba is guilty of it.

Therefore, whether it is ancient or modern, or specific to today's affairs, most people have to say that Qian Ba's sin is big, and Xu Jingzong's sin is small.

If someone else asks this, Xu Jingzong can have countless ways to excuse himself and refute the other party speechless.

However, then again, it is Qin Qiong who is asking now, so it has to be another matter.

It's useless for you to talk to others about your status!

It's useless to talk about the difference between hands-on and verbal attacks!

People don't recognize this!

People don't accept any explanation from you, they just want you to answer positively.

Don't look at Xu Jingzong daring to be disrespectful to Guo Ye, but in the face of Qin Qiong, he was really a little stunned.

First of all, in a sense, in Datang, Qin Qiong is the embodiment of morality.

His word is the truth.

Whoever disagrees with him is a minister and a villain!

Although Xu Jingzong also felt that his character was not good in his heart, he couldn't take this basin and buckle it on his head.

Secondly, if Qin Qiong stood on Guo Ye's side as a witness, he was really not sure.

Immediately, Xu Jingzong laughed dryly and said, "Uh...... After a few more glasses of wine, I can't remember what happened just now. Could it be that anyone still dares to insult the prince? ”

Qin Qiongpi said with a smile: "Then do you remember that someone insulted the prime minister?" ”

"Huh? And what's going on? Xu Jingzong scratched his head and said, "Why am I completely unimpressed?" You're kidding, right? ”

Qin Qiong said lightly: "Not is the best." Without further ado, Your Majesty is almost here, so let's go in together. ”

"Hu Guogong, please!"

"Xu Servant Shoot Please!"

……

……

Entering the main hall, Guo Ye found a place to sit with Qin Qiong. As for Qian Ba and the others, they sat in the corner.

Guo Ye arched his hand and said, "Thank you Hu Guogong, if you hadn't acted righteously, I am afraid that today's incident would have unimaginable consequences." ”

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "King Qin's words are serious. Even if you try to save people, what are the serious consequences? At most, if you don't participate in this feast, could it be that Your Majesty will really punish you for this little thing? ”

"This ......"

Qin Qiong looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Could it be that this banquet is very important to you?" ”

"When...... Of course it's important. Guo Ye stammered and said: "The significance of today's banquet is very large, it is to celebrate His Royal Highness King Qi as the crown prince......

"Come on! It's still hiding it from me! Qin Qiong said: "Are you going to do a big thing at this banquet?" ”

Guo Ye shook his head firmly and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"King Qin's tone is tight enough. But it's useless to be tight, the key is to act cautiously. In the past few days, you have been secretly contacting the old department in the army, can you hide it from me with such a big movement? Can you hide it from Zhang Liang, the prince of Xunguo? ”

More than 100 "loyal ministers and righteous men" contacted the old department, and the action was not small. Although Guo Ye had mobilized his strength among the Lijingmen and the bad people to try his best to cover it up, he didn't dare to guarantee whether there was any specific mistake.

I don't know if Qin Qiong is lying to himself or if he really knows something, Guo Ye had to stiffen his mouth and say: "There is no such thing at all, Hu Guogong, you misunderstood." ”

"King Qin, it's too chilling for a certain family to say this, is it that I, Qin Qiong, am so unbelievable? To be honest, if this matter can be concealed from Zhang Liang, it will depend on me to cover it up. In fact, I'm on your side. Tonight, let's clear the king's side and admonish Your Majesty! ”

"This ......"

In fact, Guo Ye was also very puzzled. There are more than 100 people who have signed on the genealogy of loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, and almost all the famous generals of Tiance Mansion are included, but there is no name of Qin Qiong.

What is the reason for this? Was Fang Xuanling negligent, or did he think that Qin Qiong was too loyal and a little difficult to control?

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Qin Qiong had said it to this point, and it didn't make sense for Guo Ye to die and not admit it. He said, "Ugh...... You've always been in poor health, maybe people are afraid that you're tired......"

"Hey, what are you afraid of? How can this kind of thing be without me, Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao! Whatever will happen later, you just tell you to. I, Qin Qiong, only look forward to your horse, and I will not give up when I go to the soup and die. ”

"Then there is the Duke of Laohu."

……

……

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

In Dong Shun's roll call, His Majesty Li Er walked into the main hall with two beauties in his arms, followed by Li You, the king of Qi.

The beauty on the left is the Queen of Yin. As for the beauty on the right, it is Guo Niangniang, who does not have any title but is extremely favored.

"See Long live my emperor, long live long live, see the queen mother thousand years old and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thousand years old and thousands of years old!" The ministers fell to their knees.

"Excuse me, please sit down!"

Although the words were polite, His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy and watery, and he didn't seem to be in high spirits.

When the people sat down again, he stood up after a few words, and said, "I'm tired, I want to go back and rest, all Aiqing, please take care of yourself." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave!

How could Guo Ye allow His Majesty Li Er to leave like this? He glanced at the "loyal and righteous men" around him and nodded.

"Your Majesty, please stay!" Guo Ye stretched out his hands and blocked His Majesty Li Er's way.

"King Qin? What's the matter with you? ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I haven't been able to figure out, and I want to ask you a thing or two." ”

His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, and said, "I'm tired today, if you have something, you can write an excerpt and come up, and I will reply tomorrow." ”

"That's not going to happen!" Guo Yedao: "This matter can't be delayed tomorrow, so it's better for you to answer today." ”

His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath and seemed to be holding back his anger. He said, "What the hell is going on? ”

Guo Ye said: "Actually, this question is not only what Guo Ye wants to ask, but also what others want to ask. Your appearance has changed a lot lately. Become...... It's not like His Majesty before. Can you explain a question or two? ”

"How is that possible?" His Majesty Li Er subconsciously touched his face and said nervously: "Empress, is there something wrong with my face?" ”

Concubine Yin glared at Guo Ye fiercely and said, "King Qin is going to be unreasonable!" Your Majesty's appearance has changed, how come I, the pillow person, don't know? ”

Guo Ye sneered: "You are the pillow person? Not necessarily. How did I hear that in the past six months, His Majesty's pillow person is this little lady Guo Yulan. ”

Guo Yulan said: "I can also testify that His Majesty's appearance has not changed in any way. ”

Guo Yedao: "You testify? I can't even believe you, so what's the point of your testimony? ”

Then, Guo Ye said loudly to the ministers: "Let's take a closer look, whether Your Majesty's appearance is far from before. His complexion is darker than before, his nose is not as straight as before, his lips seem to be thinner than before, and the most important thing is that his eyes are very different from before......"

"Yes, yes, King Qin's words are reasonable!"

"Your Majesty does seem to have changed his face."

"What the hell is going on?"

According to feudal etiquette, a courtier should not face the emperor at all.

Why do people call the emperor "Your Majesty", it means that you are too noble, I dare not talk to you face-to-face, only dare to let your servants on the steps of the palace pass it on from generation to generation.

Even having to talk to someone else is even more rude if you have to go straight to eye to eye. This kind of behavior is innocent in the small way, but in the big way, it must be regarded as the following crime.

Therefore, although everyone has been to the court, under normal circumstances, no one dares to stare at the emperor carefully. Most people only have a general impression of the emperor's appearance. Those who really have the opportunity to see His Majesty Li Er's appearance clearly are only a few important ministers.

Now that Guo Ye said this, after more than 100 "loyal ministers and righteous people" echoed and under the mind of "suspicious neighbors stealing axes", most people felt that there was indeed something wrong with the emperor's appearance.

Seeing that the scene seemed to be about to get out of control, His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "King Qin, you are dissatisfied with me establishing King Qi as the crown prince, I know it. But you can't slander me because of that! How could there be something wrong with my appearance? It's hard to do it, it's hard to ......"

Guo Ye answered: "Yes, I just suspect that you are not Your Majesty!" ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

As soon as Guo Ye's words fell, the audience was in an uproar!
