Chapter 12: The Last Choice
Yang Yuanqing sneered disdainfully, pointed at Yang Tieshan and said with a smile, "This old 'sè' ghost still has the face to talk about the clan rules, and the clan rules say that he can't marry again after the age of sixty, and he, the old 'sè' ghost, is eighty years old, and he also married a maid who is younger than his great-grandson 'nv' as a concubine, and he actually has the face to talk about the clan rules here with dignity." ”
The lobby burst into laughter, but then there was silence, a sense of fear overpowered the ridiculousness in the heart, in everyone's impression, when the children of the Yang family were brought here to accept the punishment of the clan rules, everyone knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, asking for forgiveness from the family, like Yang Yuanqing, who did not kneel when he entered the "mén", and insulted the elders with the highest rank in front of him, I am afraid that the Yang family has never had anyone in a hundred years, but many people secretly applauded in their hearts, and they have long been unaccustomed to this Yang Tieshan marrying a young "nv", and scolded happily.
Yang Tieshan was so angry that he was angry, his face was swollen and red, and he almost fainted, after the age of fifty, he had never been scolded by someone like this, and it was in the family temple.
He slapped the table desperately, "It's the other way around!" It's the other way around! Pull me down and hit me! ”
Yang Yue knew in his heart that this was Yang Yuanqing who took the lead and accused Yang Tieshan of violating the clan rules without being punished, so it would be difficult to deal with him.
He hurriedly persuaded, "Second Uncle is angry, don't be hurt by this rebel son, we can add another sin of bullying his ancestors." ”
Several elders next to him persuaded him together, Yang Tieshan slowly calmed down, staring at Yang Yuanqing with a blue face, eager to bite him to death.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing has long regarded this group of people in front of him as a stranger, he has been rebellious since he was a child, and he has been discriminated against by the Yang family since he was a child, so he has a very weak concept of the Yang family, only in the face of his grandfather, he reluctantly admitted that he is a member of the family, and now, the family actually wants to convict him of bullying his mother and bullying the king, and he has stepped on the clan etiquette of the Yang family in his heart, and his face has been torn. He also no longer wronged himself. But at the same time, he also has to be skillful, not to let himself fall into injustice, and he has to be angry with them. Let the Yang family get rid of him, not him rebel against the Yang family.
Yang Yue wanted to control the rhythm, and Yang Yuanqing couldn't lead them by the nose, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Slowly asked, "Yuanqing, why don't you kneel?" ”
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Yang Shiling's words are strange, the saint said to me personally, I don't have to kneel when I see him in the future, is Yang Shiling sitting even higher than the saint?" ”
"Ahh
There was an exclamation in the clan hall, Yang Yuanqing's words were simply bold, and several elders were even more shocked. Even Yang Yue couldn't calm down, he slammed the table and roared, "Yang Yuanqing." You are bold! ”
Yang Yuanqing Huo Di raised the Panying Sword horizontally, and said coldly, "This is the Holy Son of Heaven Sword, do you want the Son of Heaven Sword to kneel to you?" ”
The lobby was silent, everyone was terrified, and Yang Yue's face changed greatly, staring at Panying Jian deadly, unable to say a word.
Yang Tieshan in the back is too old, and "niào" is scared out. He said in a trembling voice, "It's better to try it another day!" ”
"No!"
The word 'no' was shouted by Yang Yue and Yang Yuanqing at the same time, and Yang Yue was also a person who had fought a war. "Xing" is tough and will not admit defeat easily. And Yang Yuanqing didn't want to drag it out any longer.
He put away his sword, "Say it! What to condemn me and how to deal with it, I will listen to it. ”
In fact, at this time, Yang Yue was already a little suspicious in his heart, he didn't know that Yang Yuanqing had the Panying Sword in his hand, at this time he saw that Yang Yuanqing had the Sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, so he didn't know whether tonight's punishment was wise, but in the morning, the emperor personally told him that he was dissatisfied with Yang Yuanqing's interference in family affairs and asked him to strictly control it, which was obviously hoping to use his hand to teach Yang Yuanqing a lesson.
He felt that there seemed to be a bit of a contradiction between the two, but when he thought of the two more returns, if there was a third time, he would be dismissed from his post and lose his office, and the huge pressure made him have no choice, he stood up, picked up the family conviction book and read, "Shuzi Yuanqing, has no clan rules, does not respect the elder, 'si' takes the clan wealth ......"
"Wait!" Yang Yuanqing interrupted him.
"What does it mean to take family wealth by 'si'? Is that the 1,000 acres of land? That was the land given to my grandfather by the first emperor, and my grandfather gave me one of them, so what do you have to do? ”
"However, the clan rules clearly stipulate that more than 100 acres of land shall not be divided to the clansmen without the consent of the clan council."
Yang Yuanqing glanced at the children of the Yang family on both sides and shook his head, "The dignified descendants of the Yang family don't put their minds on making meritorious contributions, but they are greedy one by one, staring at the meager family property, lying on their grandfather's military exploits to enjoy, grandfather has changed the Shangshu Order, how many days can you enjoy it?" ”
Yang Yuanqing's words made the clansmen on both sides bow their heads in shame.
Yang Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Yang Yue again, "This land was given to me by my grandfather, it is the field of my grandfather's military exploits, I don't care what rules the Yang family has, I won't return the land, you can ask your grandfather for specific reasons, I suggest that you 'si' go down and ask, don't let your grandfather suffer another big crime!" ”
Yang Yue coughed, did not mention the matter of returning the land, and continued, "Do you admit the second crime of deceiving your mother? ”
Yang Yuanqing looked at Mrs. Zheng, shook his head and said, "She is not my mother, what is the crime?" My mother's surname was Li, who died when I was two years old, and I also had an adoptive mother surnamed Shen, and I only had these two mothers, and I never forgot them, and I didn't have a third mother. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing's eyes were a little sour, and he was a little sorry in his heart, he should go to the grave of his biological mother and comfort her underground spirit.
Yang Yuanqing denied it in public, which made Mrs. Zheng's face a little unbearable, she raised her voice and said coldly, "Don't you admit that I am your mother?" ”
Yang Yuanqing looked at her coldly and retorted mercilessly, "I used to call you mother, and I also hoped that you would be my mother, but did you ever treat me as your son?" Even if it's only once, Mrs. Zheng, you don't deserve the word 'mother', of course, to your two sons, you are a mother, but to me, you don't deserve it, don't you have to say it, how much money do I have a month? Why am I not even qualified for ethnography? Do you want me to say it? ”
Mrs. Zheng was stared at by Yang Yuanqing's fierce gaze for a while, she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Yang Yuanqing's gaze moved back to Yang Yue, "What other crimes, let's talk about them together!" ”
Yang Yue felt that the whole rhythm was controlled by Yang Yuanqing, and he was led by the nose, as if it was not the family that was interrogating him, but the family.
But Yang Yue was helpless, so he had to say, "There is also the fact that you are bullying the king." ”
Yang Yuanqing looked into his eyes. Half a day. Shaking his head, he said, "Yang Shiling, you are also a dignified and important minister, I hope you don't say such naïve things again." I might as well tell you one thing, I went to Pei's mansion for a banquet at noon today, and it was Pei Ju Pei 'shi'Lang who personally invited me, if I deceived the king. Will he invite me? If I deceive the king, will the sword of the Holy Son of Heaven be in my hands? ”
Yang Yuanqing pointed to his sun 'xue', "Yang Shiling, you use here to think about it." ”
Yang Yuanqing let out a long breath, "Okay, after the charges are read, the following is the punishment." How to punish, let's say! ”
Yang Yue sat on the couch in a daze, without saying a word, Yang Yuanqing's words made his heart "luàn" a ball. Although he felt a little wrong when he saw the Panying Sword, he had a preconceived idea in his heart and refused to face it, and now that Yang Yuanqing forcibly stuffed this suspicion to him, he began to doubt his judgment, could it be that he misread the holy will? The meaning of the saint is not to let him teach Yang Yuanqing a lesson, but to let him cultivate Yang Yuanqing, is that so?
But Empress Xiao was really dissatisfied with him. Again, it was true, and it was a mess in his mind. So distracted that he forgot that it was time to declare the crime.
At this time, Yang Tieshan recovered. He couldn't forget that Yang Yuanqing insulted him in public, he stood up tremblingly, stared at Yang Yuanqing and said viciously, "According to the second punishment of the family, I will be expelled from the clan for three years, whipped one hundred, and expelled from the Yang Mansion!" ”
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "It's really humiliating to let an old 'sè' ghost read out the punishment." ”
He lowered his voice again and said to Mrs. Zheng, "I know that you are secretly happy now, I might as well tell you the news, the Holy Lord has listened to my advice and decided to make the King of Jin the crown prince, and your son does things for the King of Qi, there is really no future, you come and beg me!" I can let him join the army as an advisor to the Jin Palace. ”
After speaking, Yang Yuanqing smiled at Yang Yue again, turned around and walked away.
There was silence in the lobby, no one knew what kind of punishment it was, and many people noticed that something was wrong, but no one knew what to say. I just feel heavy in my heart.
Yang Yue looked at his back, but he heard what Yang Yuanqing said to Mrs. Zheng just now, he suddenly had a feeling of stepping on the air, the saint had listened to his advice and decided to make the king of Jin the crown prince, what does this mean? There was a great restlessness in him, and he felt as if he had done something very unwise.
.......
The night "sè" shrouded the crape myrtle hall of Daxing Palace, the tall trees covered the palace, the lights were dim, hundreds of "shi" guards patrolled back and forth near the main hall, vigilantly watching the surrounding situation, at this time, an old eunuch hurriedly came out of the corridor and walked quickly towards the main hall.
"Gonggong Li, it's so late, do you still have something to report to the saint?" A 'shi' guard joked.
"Hey! There's no way, the Holy One is waiting for news! ”
"Grandpa Li, what news! It's so late that the saint is waiting, can you see through "lu" one or two? ”
"Alas! You guys are on duty, don't ask more, it's not a military matter. ”
The old eunuch walked up to the main hall and walked all the way to the inner hall.
In the imperial study room of the inner hall, Yang Guang is engrossed in correcting a holy decree under the lamp, which is a will that will be announced tomorrow, and Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, will be crowned as the king of Yong.
Originally, it was not necessary to crown Yang Zhao as the king of Yong, when he entered the East Palace as the king of Jin, and his eldest son also entered the East Palace as the king of Jin, which is normal, but he heard the report, recently everyone in the government and the opposition is concerned about who is the prince, and their minds are on this, and many ministers are facing standing in line, and "nong" makes people panic.
He felt the need to make his decision to become the crown prince and clearly inform the ministers, so that it was the best indication that he would be crowned King Yong, and generally speaking, the prince of the location of the capital was the harbinger of the canonization of the crown prince.
The will was written well, he was very satisfied, Yang Guang mentioned that Zhu Pen approved a word '敇' on the holy decree, at this time, a eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, Gonggong Li is back!" ”
"Let him in!"
Yang Guang put down the pen, put the holy decree aside, and when he saw the old eunuch coming in, he asked with a smile, "Has the Yang family been punished?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the punishment is to be expelled from the clan for three years, a hundred lashes, and expelled from the Yang Mansion."
"Oh! Whipped? ”
"No, Yang Yuanqing was very tough, turned around and left, no one in the Yang Mansion dared to touch him."
Yang Guang squinted his eyes and laughed, yes, the result was very satisfactory to him, Yang Yue deserved to be a master who was good at figuring out the holy will.
Yang Guang took a 'yu' swan paperweight from the imperial case, the swan spread its wings and flew high, lifelike, and handed it to the old eunuch, "Tomorrow you give this to Yuan Qing for me, just say that I am very considerate of his feelings, and let him take care of the meaning of this swan spreading its wings." ”
