Chapter 407: Staying in the middle and not sending it

"Shi Bufan, is this Shi Qiang your uncle after all?" Li Shimin asked first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Bufan replied: "I don't know!" ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly asked: "Shi Bufan, you don't even know what your uncle is called?" Hurry up and say, is this Shi Qiang your uncle after all. This is related to the canonization of my concubine of the Tang Dynasty, but it's a big thing, don't talk nonsense! If you dare to talk nonsense, the consequences will be unimaginable? ”

Fang Xuanling is clearly threatening, and the core of this storm has obviously shifted from Zheng Liwan to Shi Bufan. This extraordinary uncle actually made an agreement with Zheng Renji to marry, which is obviously the Gao family's trouble. However, the only hope for breaking the situation is to build on Shi Bufan, as long as Shi Bufan denies that this "Shi Qiang" is his uncle, then there is no need to let Shi Bufan enter the "Jian Yu", instead of "Ji Yu", so that the family is dead and extinct, so that they can all re-carry out this canonization ceremony.

This core is also based on the so-called "Shi Qiang" is not Shi Bufan's uncle, as long as Shi Bufan can be forced to deny it, then this can also make all the plans of the Gao family and the Hedong Shi clan be shattered. So at present, as long as this Shi Bufan is forced to admit that this Shi Qiang is not his uncle, then everything can be solved, which can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle.

"I don't know!" Shi Bufan replied.

Shi Bufan planned to neither admit nor deny this, because he knew that if he admitted it directly, it would not be appropriate, and his identity would be too directly added to it. On the contrary, you can only pretend to be stupid, pretend to be stupid, and let others play by yourself, and you can solve everything by yourself, so that the extraordinary time maintains a certain corresponding "neutrality". Although everyone knows that this matter has a lot to do with Shi Bufan, as long as Shi Bufan doesn't admit it, doesn't deny it, and pretends to be stupid, then what can they do?

Fang Xuanling was suddenly anxious, this time Shi Bufan was clearly pretending to be stupid. Since you don't deny it, you don't admit it, even if you admit it or deny it! But Shi Bufan, this guy is not stupid, he knows that if he promises to be directly involved, then the consequences are not good. But if you deny it, it is tantamount to destroying the plan of the Hedong Shi clan and the Gao family, and letting Zheng Liwan successfully enter the palace, which is tantamount to betraying the previous covenant, so it will offend both the Gao family and the Hedong Shi clan. Of course, he can't deny it, so he can neither admit it nor deny it, so that's the most embarrassing part, just pretend to be stupid and say he doesn't know.

"Shi Bufan, don't you even know who is in your family?" Du Ruhui hurriedly joined the questioning.

Shi Bufan asked again: "I'm just a son of a poor family, where is there such a rich genealogy of your clan?" Our Shi family doesn't even have a family tree at the moment, how do I know the relationship here? Besides, my parents have passed away, who do I go to to verify? ”

Shi Bufan also pushed 625, anyway, they are children of a poor family, unlike those big families who make complicated genealogies, you can clearly check out this ancestral relationship. Before the middle of the Tang Dynasty, only the big families would have a family tree, and the ordinary Han family did not have a family tree. He simply shirked his parents who could have died a long time ago, anyway, there was no proof of death, what was he afraid of?

Everyone also knows Shi Bufan's thoughts, but it is reasonable for Shi Bufan to say so. There is no genealogy in ordinary poor families, so it is normal that you can't find it. As for Shi Bufan's parents, who have long since passed away, they have become a pile of white bones, you go and let them speak?

So now everyone has no evidence, and the two sides are deadlocked on Shi Bufan, which is very embarrassing. The core of the storm was completely transferred from Zheng Liwan's body to Shi Bufan. But Shi Bufan is treacherous and treacherous, of course he knows the stakes here, of course he can't admit it or deny it, and he just pretended to be stupid.

The scene fell into a stalemate, and Li Shimin could only say coldly in the end: "Retreat from the dynasty, everyone disperse!" “

Li Shimin walked directly to the harem, this time he was very angry. This time, Li Shimin's idea of returning to the beauty is probably going to be troublesome, and Gao Huitong's Gao family, Hedong Shi clan, and even Shi Bufan have colluded, which makes Li Shimin very depressed.

The emperor is not afraid of the courtiers fighting, but he is afraid that the courtiers will not fight! As an emperor, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of the courtiers' hearts! If the courtiers really have no contradictions, then the first person to be frightened is the emperor, and now Shi Bufan actually colluded with the Gaojia Hedong Shi clan, which made Li Shimin feel even more pressure. How to break the situation made Li Shimin have a headache.

Shi Bufan hurriedly returned to the Ministry of Rites, but he didn't have much work left this time, and he was thinking about how to break the situation. I'm afraid this situation is a little unfavorable for me, because ......

Officials throughout Chang'an City are also pondering what is going on with this matter, and many people see opportunities for political speculation. Many officials from middle- and low-level noble clans hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to speculate. They gave the emperor a piece of music, and one by one they went up like snowflakes.

And these recitals are also supporting the emperor openly and secretly, and this Zheng Liwan must be included in the harem. There are even some people who criticize Shi Bu Fan through various means, anyway, in short, they are Shi Bu Fan. And as Shi Bufan's wife, Dugu Daxue couldn't sit still, and hurriedly came to the Ministry of Rites from the harem.

"Now the recitals of impeachment of you in the palace are like snowflakes, almost all of them are recitals of impeachment of you. In short, there are all kinds of charges against you, and all kinds of strange crimes have appeared, and this time you have become the target of public criticism. What the hell is going on this time, how can you ...... for a Zheng Liwan" Dugu Daxue replied.

Shi Bufan hurriedly asked: "Daxue, we have been husband and wife for a few days, don't you know me yet?" Am I the kind of person who doesn't do things well? This time it's the Gao family, and Concubine Gao Shu is in ...... I've been cheated too! ”

Dugu Daxue was also anxious, and said, "This time you are accused of a lot of ......"

"Okay, okay, no matter what the crime is, I'm also a lice, don't itch, and don't worry about debts. This so-called crime, a thousand words is just one sentence, that is, I shouldn't rob women with the emperor, right? So many people saw this opportunity and wanted to engage in political speculation, hoping to be valued by the emperor and the Shandong scholars. This political speculation was obviously deliberate, and they saw the opportunity for speculation and hurried to make profits for themselves. Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue replied: "Yes, many people have seen the opportunity for speculation this time, so they all want to take advantage of this time to quickly solve this matter, and then win the favor of the emperor and the Shandong scholars." ”

"Yes! This is the target of everyone, how should I solve it? "Shi Bufan also has a lot of headaches.

However, the next thing to consider is how to break the game, and this matter is obviously not so simple. I'm afraid this matter is going to evolve into a competition between Shi Bufan and Li Shimin for women, although this time the competition is so inexplicable. Of course, Shi Bufan can't give up this Zheng Liwan directly, he has come to this point, so if Shi Bufan gives up Zheng Liwan, then where will Shi Bufan's face go in the future?

In ancient times, the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife were basically the two biggest hatreds of men. Although this Zheng Liwan is not his "wife", Gao Huitong and the Gao family deliberately cheated themselves, so it is simply yellow mud falling off the crotch of his pants - not is.

If Shi Bufan just gave up this Zheng Liwan, what would you let others think of you? At that time, I don't know what rumors have come out. When the time comes, it will be spread falsely, and it may be spread that in order to please the emperor, Shi Bufan also gave his woman to the emperor.

Even if his woman is robbed by others, it will be a big blow to Shi Bufan's prestige. In this way, even if Shi Bufan doesn't have much affection for Zheng Liwan, it is impossible to give up this Zheng Liwan. Because this is not only related to the face of his man, but also related to his prestige in the court. If you don't snatch this Zheng Liwan, how will you mix up in the court in the future? It must be snatched, otherwise not only will the prestige of the court be greatly reduced, but the reader will also have to send the author a blade.

"That's it, anyway, if there are more lice, don't itch, and if you have more debts, you won't worry. Isn't it just robbing women with the emperor? What am I afraid of? Robbing a woman with the emperor, this courage is not small, if there is no courage, how can it be mixed to this point today? Isn't it just robbing women with the emperor? In the future, I will have to compete for power with Li Shimin, if I don't even dare to shoot a woman, then how dare I grab power with Li Shimin in the future? Shi Bufan complained in his heart.

Although Shi Bufan didn't have any feelings for this Zheng Liwan this time, he had to snatch Zheng Liwan over, otherwise his prestige would be greatly reduced. Although the Tang Dynasty did not mind the remarriage of widows or the "reconciliation" between men and women. However, it is based on the condition that the marriage relationship has been lost, and it is a condition for the death of the man, or the condition of mutual reconciliation and divorce.

Although it seems to be fairer on the surface, in fact, it is the man who takes the initiative to go. It is also that unless the man goes, or agrees and leaves, it is impossible to give a woman to someone else. But these two conditions are not good, first of all, it is impossible for Shi Bufan to "pass away", so this relationship with Zheng Liwan cannot be severed.

As for harmony, if it's on weekdays, there's no problem with harmony. But this time is the day when the emperor is about to be canonized, if Shi Bufan is "reconciled" at this time, how do you let people look at you? When the time comes, everyone will be human, I, you, for the sake of glory and wealth, will dedicate your woman to the emperor, how humiliating it will be, how despised it will be!

In the turmoil at this time, I can't help but choose Shi Bufan. It is impossible for Shi Bufan to pass away, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative and leave, so he can only choose to go up hard, so as to ensure his prestige and interests.

"Did the emperor give this instruction this time?" Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue replied: "No, the emperor did not give instructions!" Instead, it remained in the center, neither sent to Menxia Province, nor handed over to any official for execution, and even the emperor ignored this. "

"Don't send it in the middle, this is the real one in the middle and don't send it!" Shi Bufan thought.

The emperor's behavior, in ancient political terms, is "staying in the middle and not sending it". That is, the recitals sent by the courtiers are left in the center and not sent. This is a negative way to deal with it, an emperor is not satisfied with a certain event, but it is not suitable to directly oppose it, so the method of staying in the middle is adopted.

Of course, it is also possible that the emperor feels very complicated about this matter and is inconvenient to deal with it directly, so he simply stays in the middle and makes a decision again after watching the development trend of the court.

This is a very troublesome situation. It is possible that the emperor is not satisfied, but it is also possible that the emperor is very satisfied. It is also possible that the situation is complicated, so that the emperor does not dare to deal with it casually. So what is going on, this completely depends on the courtiers to judge, and this is the biggest headache for everyone.

"However, since Li Shimin immediately gave instructions, it also gave me a good opportunity to continue to build momentum. As long as I continue to build momentum, I can force you to make the choice of giving up Zheng Liwan. Li Shimin already knows that the current situation is unstable, but it is already very stressful. It's not just me who has pressure in this matter, you Li Shimin are also under great pressure, otherwise you wouldn't have done this kind of thing. ”

"However, since you also feel the pressure, then I will also make you more stressed, so as to see if you can handle it."

Since Li Shimin felt the pressure, then Shi Bufan also knew that he had to put more pressure on Li Shimin, so as to force Li Shimin to give up this Zheng Liwan. Anyway, this Zheng Liwan has not been officially canonized, and if he is not officially canonized, there is room for redemption.

But once it is officially canonized, there is no room for redemption. So at present, Li Shimin is also waiting to see the situation, and wants to see the situation. What Shi Bufan has to do is to continue to increase the pressure on Li Shimin, so that he has to make the choice of giving up Zheng Liwan, after all, the canonization ceremony has not officially begun, so they can still take a step back and compromise.

Shi Bufan hurriedly took leave, and then returned home and met with the heads of various media under him. At present, Shi Bufan has to use his own card, this card is one of Shi Bufan's hole cards, this time I have to use a hole card to fight for myself. Others may not know this hole card, but it is extraordinary but it must be played.
