282. Suing her husband (II)
It's just that this orchid matter is a little sensitive, without it, the court is very short of money, and these orchids can bring a lot of income to the court.
In the past two months, officials from various ministries have come and gone in and out of the orchid song workshop, and it is not that no one knows about these things, but everyone has chosen to remain silent, and Wei Zheng has chosen to keep his mouth shut..... Because the imperial court needs the income brought by this industry.
If this matter is a big problem, it will have an impact on the entire Chang'an City that operates the orchid wine, and once the songfang wine shop is affected, the income of the court will also be affected, but if it is not dealt with......
That's it, let's talk to Your Majesty about this matter first, Yang Gongren smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really never thought that one day, he would not even be able to solve the case of a favored concubine and killing his wife.
"The affairs of Madame's family are more complicated, the official needs to understand the details first, and after the official understands the situation, how about calling the lady over to deal with it?" Yang Gongren pressed his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and raised his eyes to Xie Shi and spoke.
"So, there's Lord Lao." Xie saluted and thanked him, then turned to leave.
After Xie left, Yang Gongren sat in the hall in a daze, and then summoned two officials to come over and asked them to investigate the affairs of Menglin's family about Yao Die'er.
This matter was easy to investigate, and the people who went didn't take much effort to know the news they wanted to know, and then came back to tell Yang Gongren.
After Yang Gongren listened, he waved his hand and asked Ya Yu to leave, while he stood up, put Xie's paper-like book in his sleeve, and went to the palace.
After Yang Gongren entered the palace, he did not go to the emperor, but went to Shangshu Province, when he arrived, it was just time for lunch, Yang Gongren saw Fang Xuanling coming out of it, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed it and pulled it aside.
Fang Xuanling looked at him inexplicably: "Lord Yang, what are you talking about?" ”
"Hey, it's hard to say, Lord Fang, how about we eat together in a while? Yang has something to ask an adult. Yang Gongren smiled bitterly.
Fang Xuanling looked at his appearance and knew that most of the things were really wrong, so he didn't say anything more, the two of them took their own meals and found a place with few people to sit down.
"What the hell is going on, tell me Lord Yang." Fang Xuanling said while eating.
Yang Gongren put down the chopsticks he had just picked up again, and explained today's events in detail, as for the paper, because Fang Xuanling was eating, he didn't take it out.
"Eat first, and I'll go with you to find Your Majesty after eating in a while." After Fang Xuanling listened, he was slightly silent for a while before he spoke, meaning that he was not good at making up his mind about this matter.
Yang Gongren stopped talking, he picked up the chopsticks, ate silently, and after the two finished eating, wiped their mouths, and went to the emperor's imperial study.
Li Shimin had just finished lunch at this time, and was eating outside, when he heard a report from the waiter that Fang Xuanling and Yang Gongren had come over together, and he was a little surprised.
He walked back quickly, walked to the door of the imperial study, saw Fang Xuanling and Yang Gongren standing side by side, and said with a smile: "Gongren, Xuanling, you two came here at the same time, shouldn't you have encountered something big?" ”
"I've met Your Majesty, it's not a big deal, but this matter is really a little tricky." Yang Gongren replied.
"Oh, what's the matter, let's go, let's go in and talk." Li Shimin sighed, walked into the imperial study, and beckoned Fang Xuanling and Yang Gongren to go in together.
Yang Gongren walked into the imperial study with Fang Xuanling, and after entering the door, Yang Gongren didn't say much, and directly took out the paper in his sleeve and handed it to the emperor.
"Has this been confirmed?" After Li Shimin read it, his face became serious, he didn't think there was anything wrong with a man's three wives and four concubines, but it was really wrong to spoil a concubine and kill his wife, especially his own wife who was embarrassed by the outer room that was not even a concubine.
Of course, this is not the reason why he frowned, if it was just because of the case of a concubine and killing his wife, Yang Gongren would not have come to Fang Xuanling to ask for advice, and then made trouble for himself.
This matter involves the orchid and the music fang, and the orchid and the music fang are related to a new way of making money opened by the court.
"I checked, that Zheng Congji came to Menglin's house in mid-August, and he met Yao Die'er without much entry, and then helped her redeem herself, but his wife Xie resolutely disagreed with him to admit a song shop orchid into the door, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while."
"Yao Die'er was quite angry because she couldn't enter the door of the Zheng family, and in a fit of anger, she went to Menglin's house to sit on the village with her freedom, Zheng Congqi couldn't accept it, and after more than half a month, regardless of his wife's wishes, he brought her into the Zheng Mansion......" Yang Gongren briefly told what happened.
"This Zheng Congji, so unsuccessful, how did the assessment of last year come about? Could it be that someone deceived the upper and lower levels, and deceived me and the court in a fit of rage, does he have any other connections in the court? After Li Shimin listened, he opened his mouth with an angry face.
Although it is tacit that after the opening of this orchid music shop, it is tacit that officials often go in and hang out, but as an official of the court, you are at least a little measured, and you can just relax and have fun by chance.
But how can you be like those unsuccessful and talented people, for the sake of the bearded girl inside, you don't even care about your reputation and wife?
"Your Majesty is angry, this Zheng Congji's ability in official affairs is there, and there is no deception in the assessment of last year, this person is a more prosperous family in the Xingyang Zheng family, and he is from the same door as the Great Si Nong Zheng Qi Zheng."
"He himself has some talent, his temperament is quite uninhibited, and he has always boasted of the style of a famous man of the Jin and Wei dynasties, except that he is not very restrained in the women's field, and the backyard matters are not particularly clear, there is no major problem." Fang Xuanling said.
"As an official of the court, there is no distinction between wives and concubines, and if you can't figure it out in the backyard, it's easy to have problems, how can you say that there is no major problem." Li Shimin was furious.
Fang Xuanling and Yang Gongren were silent at the same time, and after Li Shimin was angry, he also knew that this matter could not be dealt with great fanfare, otherwise, once the matter became big and made a big fuss, the newly opened source of wealth of the court would be cut off.
The most important thing is that in this patriarchal society, everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong with men going to those places with a good environment to relax after they are busy with official duties.
Even if there is only one wife in the family like Fang Xuanling, he thinks so, of course, it is an exception that Zheng Congji can't figure out.
"Xuan Ling, what do you think should be done about this?" Li Shimin walked back and forth in the imperial study a few times, and turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling is the prime minister, and officials like Zheng Congji who are transferred to the capital need his approval, and for this reason, he knows far more about Zheng Congji than Li Shimin.
"The minister thought that His Majesty would summon that Zheng Congji to reprimand him, and let him deal with the orchid as soon as possible, and let the queen come forward and summon his wife Xie Shi into the palace to talk and appease."
"Although Zheng Congji's official position is not high, his wife Xie is the daughter of the Langya Xie family, and she is also the nephew and daughter-in-law of Lord Zheng, the great farmer, and it is not uncommon for her to be summoned by the queen."
"Xie has only one son and one daughter under his knees, the son is already twenty, he has been married last year, and the daughter is fifteen years old, it is said that she is still in the boudoir, if the queen can help her point out a good marriage, the breath in Xie's heart will probably come out, and when the anger is out, naturally he will not pester his ......husband anymore" Fang Xuanling sighed slightly and said.
