Chapter 2018: The Wicked Guest Arrives
"If you have something to say, please speak."
"Uh...... The matter between Xu Ang and the Yu family should be true, but whether Xu Shangshu takes a concubine as his wife is just a side of the Yu family. She is now dead, and there is no proof of her death. If you want to punish crimes, shouldn't you be more cautious? ”
Many people thought that in ancient times, when the main room died, the concubine would be able to ascend to the throne. In fact, it's basically impossible. In ancient times, it was much more difficult for a concubine to be on top than a junior in modern society.
From the first dynasty of feudal society, it was not possible to take a concubine as a wife, and it was established in the form of law. Since then, the Zhou, Han, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the laws of all dynasties have stipulated this.
For example, in the "Tang Dynasty Discussion and Shu Law", it is clearly stipulated that "those who take their wives as concubines and maids as their wives shall be imprisoned for three years." Whoever takes a concubine and a guest girl as a wife, and a maidservant as a concubine, shall be imprisoned for one and a half years. To each his own right. ”
What does it mean, that is, those who take a concubine as their wife shall be sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and those who take a maidservant as a concubine shall be sentenced to one and a half years of exile. This is not over, not to mention the crime after suffering, and in the end, it is necessary to "return the righteousness", that is to say, it should be a concubine, and after receiving the criminal law, it is still a concubine.
Therefore, Xu Jingzong's is really judged according to the law, even if the "Eight Discussions" are counted, Xu Jingzong will have to be swept to the end and go home to eat himself.
Wei Chigong couldn't watch his relatives really recover, so he stood up and said a word for Old Man Xu.
Of course, he can intercede for Xu Jingzong, but whether he listens or not, it will be up to His Majesty Li Er.
If His Majesty Li Er doesn't want to let this matter go lightly, he just needs to say that he will be interrogated by Yousi.
Yes, there is no proof that Yu is dead. However, she is not the only one of Pei's dowry maids. As long as this case is handed over to Youji, it is not difficult to find out at all.
The crux of the matter now is whether His Majesty Li Er wants to let Xu Jingzong go.
So what does the supreme Tang Emperor think?
As Wei Chigong wished, he really didn't want to exhaust this matter.
Without it, it's too filthy!
If what Yu said is true, in fact, everyone believes it, and it is good for people to die! If this matter spreads, the impact on the court and the Son of Heaven will be too bad.
If it is said that the affair between the Yu family and Xu Ang can be prevaricated by the fact that the eldest husband is unable to protect his wife and filial piety, then how can the woman who forced her son to be killed by the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites explain?
This is a book of the Ministry of Rites, and it stands to reason that you must be virtuous and profound, and be a model for the world. Otherwise, how can it be the "ceremony" of the imperial court to rule the world?
Xu Jingzong, a villain with no morality, actually sat in this position. Whose responsibility is it?
There are traitors in the court, so this monarch ...... Isn't it too far-fetched to say that it is extremely wise?
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er is also willing to help Xu Jingzong cover up.
So, he said: "Xu Aiqing's boudoir is not serious, and she has no way to govern her family, and she will be fined for half a year." As for the case of taking a concubine as a wife...... There is no real evidence, so it will not be pursued. ”
Xu Jingzong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
His Majesty Li Er stood up and said, "Then this matter is settled." He glanced around again, and said, "Today's matter, I hope that the Qing family can distinguish the priorities, say what should be said, and don't talk nonsense if you don't say it." ”
"Yes!"
……
……
The matter of the Xu family, in Guo Ye's view, is already an extrajudicial favor. It can be said that Xu Jingzong picked up a big bargain. Otherwise, although their family will not be wiped out, it is certain that they will sink from now on.
However, public opinion in society is not so good. With the advice of His Majesty Li Er, no one present will leak the inside information. People can't look at the doorway of this matter, and can only look at the excitement - the appearance of the matter.
What is the appearance of things?
Xu Angse was so bold that he robbed King Qin's thousand-year-old woman? Is that still there? first alarmed Guo Ye's founding disciple Sun Zishan, and then annoyed Guo Ye's sworn brother Chi Gong. Later, the current crown prince supported King Qin.
However, this is not the end, in the end, the matter actually stirred His Majesty.
The end result? Lei Shuyao was rescued, Xu Ang was exiled to Lingnan, not only that, Xu Ang's mother, that is, Xu Jingzong's wife, also hit the pillar and died!
What does this mean? It shows that King Qin Chitose has not lost power, and he is now the ass of a tiger - he can't touch it! Whoever touches it dies.
As for saying that Xu Ang and his stepmother are messing around. Lun? Who believes!
The Xu family is not an ordinary family, Xu Jingzong's father Xu Shanxin is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Sui. Xu Jingzong himself is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty.
Both generations of father and son are high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Rites, and the family style is strict, how can this happen? This must be framed by King Qin!
Someone even described the truth of the matter vividly: "Actually, the situation at that time was like this, Xu Ang and Lei Shuyao fell in love, but they were obstructed by King Qin, and in desperation, Lei Xiaoniang eloped into Xu's mansion." ”
As a result, King Qin was furious and led people to forcibly go to the palace to ask for people. How powerful is the King of Qin, not only invited the Duke of Eguo and the crown prince, but finally recruited His Majesty. It is necessary to cure Xu Ang's crime of robbing people's daughters. ”
Although Mrs. Xu was a stepmother, she was extremely virtuous, and she didn't want her son to suffer such an injustice, so she hit the pillar and died. In order to cover up this matter, there was some confusion. Lun thing. Actually, this is pure. ”
"Alas, the way of the world...... If you have money and power, you will be reasonable, even if you are as strong as Xu Shangshu if you have no money and power, you will have to be knocked out of your teeth and swallowed blood! ”
Driven by some well-intentioned people, this rumor has become more and more widespread. Xu Jingzong's reputation has increased instead of falling. As for Guo Ye, he has a bad impression in people's hearts.
Of course, it's not completely without benefits, at least everyone understands that although King Qin doesn't have any office and has recently closed his doors, his power is much more powerful than when he was the Duke of Qin before.
If you don't believe it, please look at Xu Jingzong, even if King Qin Chitose doesn't take care of it, it's like playing to clean him up. Cleaning up the imperial court books are all in hand, so do you need to ask others to clean up?
Of course, Guo Ye is also aware of these rumors, but he is too lazy to refute them.
Now he's figured it out. When it comes to this position, don't be too cautious. Fame is almost not a bad thing, but it can reassure the imperial court. If it's even possible, you'll have to find a way to defile yourself.
Therefore, Guo Ye continued to enjoy the otaku life in the Qin Palace, allowing the rumors to spread.
However, what he didn't expect was that notoriety was also famous, and now, he was remembered by someone with a heart again.
On this day, two evil guests came to King Qin's house.
If it was before, Guo Ye would still be very welcoming to the arrival of the two of them. However, since returning to China this time, I have been very reluctant to see them. When I saw them, it was like seeing a creditor!
Why? He was ashamed!
These two people, one is Chai Lingwen, the eldest son of Huo Guogong Chai Lingwen, and the other is Liang Shuyu, the second son of Liang Million.
These two are Guo Ye's good brothers, and they are also fanatical suitors of Yu Nuannuan. They have been chasing Yu Nuan Nuan for many years but they can't, but Guo Ye has always stated that he is not interested in this woman.
As a result, now he has taken the beautiful woman into an outer room. How should he explain to these two people?
However, this meeting was not as tense as Guo Ye imagined. As soon as the two saw Guo Ye, they saluted very respectfully and said: "See King Qin's Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" ”
"Two big brothers, please get up." Guo Ye held each other with his hands and said, "It's all my own family, so I don't need to be polite." When you see me in the future, you don't have to pay a big salute. ”
Chai Lingwen said: "That's not possible, the upper and lower levels are humble, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”
"Eh, Brother Chai is wrong. The three of us are different from ordinary people. When we first met, Guo's identity was not a little worse than yours, but did you ever look down on me Guo Ye? Now that my identity is reversed, if I let you worship me, will it still be considered a person? ”
"But ......"
Guo Ye straightened his face and said, "It's nothing." If you were still a brother to me, you would throw away all the red tape! ”
Liang Shuyu sneered and said, "Brother? Hey, bro? Friend's wife, don't play. What about brothers' wives? Qin Wang Chitose, do you really think we are brothers? ”
"This ......" Guo Ye knew that sooner or later he would have to face this problem.
He said with a straight face: "Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry for you, but now, no matter how I explain it, I have to be seen as cheap and good." All I can say now is that I will try to make it up to you whenever I can. The two of them have a request, and as long as Guo can do it, he will agree. ”
The eyes of the two lit up, and they said in unison: "Okay, that's what you said!" ”
Guo Ye had an ominous premonition in his heart, and said, "You two came here today, are you prepared?" Tell me, what's the matter with me? ”
Liang Ershao said: "There is really one thing, the two of us are not able to do it." I can't say it, but it will fall on your head. ”
