Chapter 406: A traitor has emerged from among us
At the end of June of the second year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the ceremony of canonizing Zheng Liwan as a full-fledged man is about to begin, and Li Shimin is also ready to hold the beauty, this time he can get the support of the Zheng family in Xingyang, so that the Shandong Shi clan can "place" a concubine in their harem again, so that not only can balance the strength of the Guanlong Group, but also get more support from the Shandong Shi clan, and he can also hold the beauty, who doesn't do such a good thing! As for what kind of marriage is concerned, this is destined to be carried out in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin has no way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Li Shimin is not very comfortable, let himself marry a woman he doesn't like, but I heard that it is a beauty, so it is okay. As an emperor, that's what it will be, even if you don't like a woman, you have to get it back. The so-called life is like a bow although a woman does it, since you can't resist, then close your eyes and enjoy it.
"Your Majesty, the minister's secretary is Wei Zheng, please report to the emperor if you have something!" Wei Zheng said.
Li Shimin asked casually: "What's the matter?" ”
Wei Zheng replied: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the emperor was preparing to canonize the Zheng family in Xingyang as a chonghua, and the minister learned that this Zheng family was engaged, and asked the emperor to cancel the canonization ceremony. The emperor is a human king, which is the world's people to their parents, how can the author take away his wife? ”
"What?" Everyone was immediately shocked, how could Wei Zheng suddenly do such a thing?
Fang Xuanling, the highest representative of the Shandong Shi clan, was even more surprised, what did this Wei Zheng do? What's more, what does Wei Zheng want to do, Fang Xuanling is not clear at this time, what is going on? And Du Ruhui is also demented for a while, before they Guanlong Group and the Shandong Shi clan had an agreement, carried out some political transactions, and agreed that the Shandong Shi clan would once again operate a woman into the harem, so the eldest grandson queen would choose a concubine for Li Shimin. But now that Wei Zheng, the spokesperson of the Hedong Shi clan, has actually come out to sue, it will definitely not be simple.
As a politician, you will never be untargeted. What's more, this is related to the concubine, and the matter of the concubine is nominally a family affair of the emperor, but in fact it is far more than that. The emperor is ********, and family affairs are also state affairs, so Wei Zheng actually dared to speak in this regard, it must be a profound purpose, obviously to prevent this sorting omnipotent from entering the palace.
Li Shimin was also shocked in his heart, he didn't know what was going on. This Xingyang Zheng Liwan is actually engaged, this is impossible! Li Shimin is absolutely sure that this Zheng Liwan will not be engaged. Because first of all, the Zheng family in Xingyang will not be so unreliable. What's more, the Shang Palace in the palace, that is, Dugu Daxue, also has to be audited, and it is impossible not to find out that he is engaged. Even this is a matter of Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun selected for herself, and her wife Li Shimin still doesn't understand? How can this be true if you are not the kind of person who does not do things well?
So this engagement, that's absolutely impossible. So at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly found that he was definitely being dug into a pit, and someone was definitely going to put him and the Shandong Shi clan guide into it.
"Wei Zheng, this kind of thing, there must be evidence, otherwise don't talk nonsense!" Li Shimin still said a little lucky.
Li Shimin knew that since Wei Zheng had spoken, he was probably completely prepared. If he wasn't prepared, Wei Zheng wouldn't have opened his mouth on this kind of thing easily. This Wei Zheng is definitely a good black material for Zheng Liwan, but Li Shimin is a bit lucky, hoping to escape.
But Wei Zheng is not a vegetarian, and he has long said: "Your Majesty, regarding this matter, I have investigated and found that this Zheng Liwan has been engaged to a young man named Shi Qiang. This Shi Qiang was a poor family, who was exiled back then and once saved the life of Zheng Renji, so Zheng Renji agreed to marry his daughter to his son. But this Shi Qiang has passed away and has left no descendants, which can be regarded as an heir. ”
"There is a traitor among us, Gao Huitong, you***** Fang Xuanling said angrily in his heart.
Fang Xuanling immediately understood what the problem was. If there are no traitors within themselves, how can this so-called engagement be done well? This is definitely an internal rebellion of someone in his Shandong Shi clan, and then colluded with other forces, and then concocted this engagement.
This is definitely a rebellion within the Shandong Shi clan, and then I don't know how to buy Zheng Renji, and then let Zheng Renji grit his teeth and give up this opportunity to let his daughter enter the palace. However, there is no need to know how they did it at present, but at present, it must have been Gao Huitong and the Gao family who betrayed the Shandong Shi clan. Because this daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang entered the palace, it was the biggest blow to the Gao family. Therefore, before every incident before Fang Xuanling, he naturally did not know about the betrayal of the arrogant family. But once the incident happened, it would inevitably be easy to judge that it was Gao Huitong and the Gao family who betrayed the Shandong Shi clan. Because of this matter, it is the last benefit for the Gao family.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling directly scolded Gao Huitong in his heart, "***** is obviously very angry." was calculated this time, Fang Xuanling really suffered a loss again. He calculated that there was a traitor inside him, and if there was no traitor this time, he would not have let the other party get it so smoothly. At that time, the Gao family said well that they did not object to this matter, so Fang Xuanling would be so relieved. However, this Gao family actually broke his promise and became a traitor.
"Shi Qiang, what the hell is this? Shouldn't it be Lu Shuang? Shi Bufan also wondered in his heart.
The so-called man who was engaged to Zheng Liwan in Shi Bufan's memory should be a person named "Lu Shuang", not a person with the surname Shi. What's more, the surname "Shi", whether in ancient times or in later generations, is a small surname. Shi Bufan was very puzzled for the first time, is this related to himself? What's more, what is wrong with this, there is such a strange thing.
However, the ensuing quarrel became even more intense, triggering a fight between the two groups.
As the party agreed in advance, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the other party has decided to marry, I think that since the other party has no queen, then we should not continue to entangle." If the other party has no queen, why should we care? The so-called death debt is eliminated, then that Shi Qiang has passed away, and he can also have no queen, so the marriage will naturally be canceled. ”
Fang Xuanling is really lacking in information at the moment, and he can't make an accurate analysis, and he doesn't know how far the other party has got. At present, there is no time for Fang Xuanling to analyze, so Fang Xuanling can only see the moves, which makes Fang Xuanling very depressed. However, Fang Xuanling quickly seized a loophole in the other party, hoping to recover it.
However, Wei Zheng smiled, he obviously knew that Fang Xuanling would say this, and Wei Zheng nodded to Gao Jifu, a member of the Zhongshu House, representing a code.
Gao Jifu took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Jifu, a scholar among the ministers, heard that according to the family patriarchal law, after one heir is extinct, the other can be combined with the other, that is, a descendant bears the incense of two branches of the family at the same time, which is also the concubine." According to folk customs, it is possible to marry two wives at the same time. Well, that is, at the same time, there are two branches, so it stands to reason that this Zheng Liwan should be able to marry Shi Qiang's close relatives and nephews. ”
"And after many inquiries, Shi Qiang currently has a nephew, and he is also a well-known young man in my Tang Dynasty, he is a man from Dingxiang County, and the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites are extraordinary."
Hearing this, Shi Bufan immediately scolded in his heart: "Gao Huitong, you are really speechless this time ******** Shi Bufan, this Gao Huitong actually gave himself such a trick." Originally, everyone didn't know what role Shi Bufan played in this matter, but now there will be this incident. This Gao Huitong actually directly asked the Gao family to do such a strange thing, and got an identity for one of his so-called uncles, so that Zheng Liwan was married to his uncle's son.
But his so-called uncle has passed away, so according to folk customs, it is possible to have two wives at the same time, and bear the incense of two branches. If Shi Bufan still doesn't know what Gao Huitong and the Gao family think, you, he is really a good mallet.
This is tantamount to pulling Shi Bufan into the water, so according to folk tradition, this Zheng Liwan is also the wife of her so-called cousin. However, in fact, his cousin does not exist, and according to the principle of contemporaneity, he can have the right to accept Zheng Liwan as his woman. This is also the so-called "contemporary", Shi Bufan immediately calculated himself this time because of Gao Huitong, and actually pressed this Zheng Liwan on his body.
Originally, Shi Bufan still wanted to eat melon seeds and watch the play, but when he watched the play and saw that he had become an actor, it was really not fun.
Gao Jifu turned around and smiled at Shi Bufan, obviously very proud, this time he calculated Shi Bufan once. According to Gao Huitong's idea, Shi Bufan saved her life, and he also saved the spokesperson of the Gao family in the harem. Whether it is for Gao Huitong's own life-saving grace or for the saving of the Gao family's political life, it is a great kindness. This great favor cannot but be repaid, and it is also the criterion that the Shandong scholars should have. Confucius also said that repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances with straightforwardness, that is to say, if someone else has kindness to you, then you must also repay the kindness. Of course, if others have something bad about you, you have to repay him directly and unceremoniously.
Shi Bufan is kind to the Gao family, so he naturally wants to repay it, this time he sacrificed this Zheng Liwan, and then gave it to Shi Bufan. This is Gao Jiakang's kindness to others, and gave Zheng Liwan to Shi Bufan, so that Shi Bufan can get a beauty. not only prevented Zheng Liwan from entering the palace, but also gave Shi Bufan a beauty, which can be regarded as a reward, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
The scene directly made everyone start to face a strange situation, and everyone didn't expect this extraordinary thing. Everyone present understood that this so-called Zheng Liwan's engagement was mostly due to the collusion between the Gao family and the Hedong Shi clan, and they didn't want this Zheng Liwan to enter the palace.
But they didn't expect that there were still extraordinary things in this? This Zheng Liwan is inexplicably going to become an extraordinary woman, which is simply amazing. What role did Shi Bufan play in this, which simply surprised them.
Why did the Gao family operate this Zheng Liwan into an extraordinary woman, and what kind of transactions did Shi Bufan have with the Gao family and the Hedong Shi clan, which made everyone feel muttering in their hearts.
For Shi Bufan to cooperate with the Gao family and the Hedong Shi clan, it is not surprising that everyone is like this, because politics is like this, and the strategic enemy does not mind that they can cooperate tactically. So there is nothing strange about Shi Bufan's cooperation with these two groups, but it is normal.
But what everyone wants to figure out is what role Shi Bufan played, and how profound this matter is.
Li Shimin looked at Shi Bufan, and he also showed a face with an incomparably toothache. If there is collusion between the Gao family and the Hedong Shi clan, Li Shimin can understand it. But what does this have to do with Shi Bufan, there is such an idea? Zheng Liwan's entry into the palace, what does it have to do with Shi Bufan, so that everyone feels that there is a problem here.
Shi Bufan's brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to break the game. But he was also helpless in his heart, the current intelligence information is not enough, how can he come up with a way to break the situation? If there is insufficient information and information, then do not act rashly. If you act rashly when there is insufficient information and information, you will be caught by others, and in the end, it will be harmful.
So Shi Bufan simply used a trick to respond to all changes without changing, and directly did not answer a word. Pretending to be casual, without any expression.
Everyone looked at Shi Bufan, but Shi Bufan was very thick-skinned, obviously didn't say a word, and didn't blush. Anyway, he knew that he was simply not saying anything at the moment, and let them solve everything by themselves anyway, could this gang of thickening still force him to speak? Anyway, that's it, what can you do?
However, everyone is also very depressed about Shi Bufan's method. If it is said that Shi Bufan and the Gao family are in collusion, then the Lord should speak, but how can this be the case now?
However, they didn't know that although Shi Bufan had colluded with the Gao family and the Hedong clan, they did not collude to this extent. The Gao family took it upon himself to give this Zheng Liwan to himself, which made him very depressed.
"Gao Huitong, you are generous to others! What does it mean to give me this Zheng Liwan? I saved your life, and you repay me like that? Your uncle, I'd rather you don't repay me! This time, I'm going to be the target of public criticism. Shi Bufan scolded in his heart.
