Chapter 42: Discipline

The polo match is over, but the people are still in front of the Lin De Hall. Dou Huaizhen was sitting next to Xue Chongxun, he didn't know what he was thinking, and said in a low voice: "The boy doesn't know how thick the sky is, Xue Lang can still sit still and not get angry?" ”

Probably Cui Riyong, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was Dou Huaizhen's opponent before, so Dou Huaizhen didn't have a good impression of him, so he teased him.

Of course, Xue Chongxun was angry, but because of his mother's face, he didn't have a seizure immediately, but just said coldly: "I'm okay, why am I angry with a dead person?" ”

Dou Huaizhen was stunned, and quickly came back to his senses, daring to love in Xue Chongxun's eyes, that young man Lang Cui Mo was already a corpse?

Xue Chongxun sat still and didn't move, and the sentence that came out just now was also because of the impulse to be angry, but in fact, he didn't want to say anything. With so many ministers present, it would not be wise to challenge my mother's authority in person. He knows his mother very well, she doesn't like others to disobey her, and she has a very strong personality. In fact, thinking about the pros and cons, if you have to make a choice, Jincheng's role in Xue Chongxun is not as good as Princess Taiping's, but Xue Chongxun is not a completely rational person.

When Cui Mo stood up just now, Xue Chongxun had the urge to pull out his knife and stab him to death, but if he did so, he would definitely disappoint the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, after all, the Cui family was also a big family. At the border pass, you can do it with real knives and guns, but in Chang'an, everything must be reasonable and legal, and playing yin has always been a means that people like to see.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a purple-robed official trotting towards this side, the officials in purple clothes are all people with status, usually walking very particular about demeanor and temperament, to show the temperament of not being surprised, but that person ran over, very anxious.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a middle-aged man, who was Cui Riyong, not the Yellow Gate Squire? Cui Riyong ran to the bottom of the stands, and without saying a word, he slapped Cui Mo and knocked him to the ground, and then he fell down and kowtowed: "The dog is young and ignorant, please be gracious to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, and let the minister take it back and discipline it well." ”

Half of Cui Mo's face was swollen, and he covered his face with one hand, extremely innocent.

Taiping was stunned and said, "What did Cui Mo, this Langjun do?" ”

Cui Riyong raised his head, his gaze swept lightly from Xue Chongxun's side, and then said: "The dog's crime of offending the royal family is unforgivable, and the minister has the courage to ask the heavens to listen to the guilt and send him to Lingnan to set an example." ”

"Father......" The young man Cui Mo's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say when he shouted, he probably didn't know what kind of crime he had committed to be so strict that he wanted to be assigned to the border wilderness? He must have resentment in his heart, this is really a righteous murderer!

"Shut up!" Cui Riyong was furious, waved his fist and said, "What are you doing, kneel down and ask His Highness for his guilt." ”

His father's order could not be violated, and Cui Mo fell to his knees with great reluctance.

Taiping smiled: "How did you become a father?" Cui Mo didn't do anything wrong, just now His Majesty praised him for being a good Langjun, and I also think it's good. ”

She thought she was smiling kindly, but in the eyes of others, she laughed so much that people were furious.

Cui Riyong took a deep breath and said respectfully: "The royal family has never had a precedent for marrying with Shandong people, the dog does not understand the rules, so he acts recklessly, I hope His Royal Highness will remember that he will be careless when he is young, forgive the capital crime and send it to the frontier to continue to serve the country." ”

"Even if Cui Mo doesn't understand the rules, doesn't Cui Shilang think that His Majesty doesn't understand either?" Taiping immediately put the blame on the emperor's head, "What's more, on the Tang Dynasty, which article says that the Li family can't marry Shandong?" Cui Shilang, don't you want to learn from Fang Xuanling to be a famous minister? ”

Princess Taiping mentioned Fang Xuanling is an allusion, and Fang Xuanling, a famous minister in the history of Li and Tang Dynasty, once refused a royal marriage because his wife was a vinegar jar. The meaning of the pun of jealousy is from Fang Xuanling. He dared to refuse the favor of the princess, which was almost unique in Li Tang, and was rumored to be a good-natured joke through the ages.

Cui Ri hung a black line on his forehead and bowed: "The minister is dead." ”

Taiping smiled again and said, "This is not a bad thing, it is our family's favor to the Cui family." A qiē Du Majesty xià and I are the masters for you, Cui Shilang and rest assured. ”

Cui Riyong had a hundred reluctance written on his face, but now Princess Taiping has said it to this point, if she still has to resist strongly, I am afraid that it will not be Xue Chongxun who will be offended.

Taiping turned back to Brother Fen and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace." ”

Brother Fen was already impatient, so he stood up directly and said, "It's okay, this sun is really poisonous, and it's useless to carry an umbrella, so people can't stand the heat." ”

Cui Riyong wanted to say something, but everyone had already knelt down in the sand and shouted "Congratulations to Your Majesty".

Kaneshiro also got up silently and followed the ranks of the royal family, everyone was arguing about her matter just now, but she didn't say anything, as if it didn't matter to her...... It's just that the moment she turned around and walked away, she glanced back at Xue Chongxun, and with a shocking glance, her eyes seemed to contain endless connotations. Xue Chongxun had this scene hanging in his mind for a long time, imprinted on his head like a captured photo.

Xue Chongxun's heart felt uncomfortable. But in Chang'an, he could no longer use simple and crude methods, and he encountered an assassination incident when he killed Feng Yuanjun, causing a lot of follow-up troubles. Now the Cui family is also a scholar clan, and it is a family with a certain strength, and if you kill Cui Mo alone, it will cause even more trouble. Cui Ri sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person to watch his son be killed on the spot, and he didn't hold a grudge? You have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

In short, now Xue Chongxun has made up his mind to be the enemy of a big family, but it is not because of a conflict of interest at all, but for some personal matters......

If any scholar clan faced the current situation of Xue Chongxun, they would not have the same consideration as him, and the reason was that the values were different. At this time, most people will put the interests of the family first; And Xue Chongxun only cares about himself, he is not interested in things such as Liufang Baishi, he just wants to have an interesting life in this life.

Under this kind of values, it is reasonable for Xue Chongxun to do anything for a woman. But others don't know his heart, and everyone has their own guesses: some people may think that he will focus on the big picture; Some people may think that he is hot-headed and spoiled; And Jin Cheng may think that he is a person like King Zhou You.

But he is nothing.

After Emperor Fen Ge and a group of people in the palace left the table, Cui Riyong couldn't help but be angry, and punched and kicked his son in front of everyone. What kind of demeanor did the young man Lang Cui Mo have at this time, he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face and scolded so much that he was bloody, and the wolf was to the extreme.

Cui Mo is a real gentleman, and he has no power to resist in front of his elders. Jin Cheng also saw this situation, I'm afraid she can't have a good impression of such a young man no matter what, a person who even has the right to participate in his own affairs, a teenager who is completely dependent on the family, the image is like a little child, what can she do to protect her own woman?

Xue Chongxun got up silently, walked with several prime ministers, and was about to leave the palace. At this time, he saw Yu Liben coming over and said, "Xue Lang is slow, His Royal Highness asked you to wait in Chengxiang Palace, and I have something to say later." ”

After hearing this, Dou Huaizhen and the others hugged their fists and said, "Then let's take the first step." ”

Xue Chongxun had no choice but to change direction and head north. When he came to the Chengxiang Palace, a maid led him to the high pavilion behind the main hall, at the end of the flying bridge. The curved flybridge that resembles a rainbow in mid-air is the only passage connecting the main hall and the high pavilion.

It was here the last time he had a home-cooked dinner with his mother. It was raining, but today the weather is very clear, and when early autumn comes, the sky seems to be higher and blue.

This loft is indeed a dry and cool place, and it was very hot in the Rindeden Square at the time, but when you come here, you can get a cool breeze. The weft of the mantle sways gently, and the natural wind is more refreshing than the electric fan.

After waiting for a while, Princess Taiping returned. Xue Chongxun hurriedly bowed: "Erchen has seen his mother. ”

"Sit down." Taiping flicked his two long sleeves, and sat down on the soft collapse in front of him in a grand and dignified manner. There were many kinds of clothes in the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Taiping wore this kind of large-sleeved shirt as a type of Hanfu, which could show more luxury. There is always a calm momentum between the wide sleeves.

Taiping subconsciously looked at Xue Chongxun's face, but he was expressionless, and Taiping smiled: "Are you angry? ”

Nonsense! But Xue Chongxun said seriously: "No, Erchen understands his mother's approach very well. Now that I am married to the clan, I must no longer have anything to do with Jincheng, otherwise it will damage the majesty of the royal family. My mother was afraid that I would let go of my old feelings, so she did this. ”

Taiping's face was relieved when he heard this, and he sighed: "There are so many people, just you stick to my heart." ”

Xue Chongxun changed his words and said, "But why did my mother tell me first, you have to at least consider my feelings, right?" ”

"What's the use of talking to you?"

Xue Chongxun couldn't hold back his unhappiness, took a breath and said: "I won't disobey my mother, let's make it clear first, because of my mother's decision, the Cui family will definitely pay ten times the price!" ”

"What did you say!" Taiping's face changed suddenly, and he pointed at his nose and said angrily, "I can't do whatever I want, can you do it by your own temperament?" You tell me the truth of right and wrong! ”

Xue Chongxun said: "I didn't pay attention. ”

"Presumptuous! Didn't you see how Cui Riyong disciplined his son in front of Lin De Palace? Taiping waved her palm, as if she was about to fight, but unfortunately Xue Chongxun stood too far away, and she didn't stand up considering her image.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun said coldly: "If my father was alive, I wouldn't be so disciplined." ”

Taiping's face suddenly turned pale, Xue Shao was her first man and first husband, and any woman would have a deep memory of that first one. And Xue Shao was killed by his family because of the political struggle...... It can be said that Princess Taiping's love is quite complicated. G
