Chapter 117: Banishment

"You don't want to get an inch!" Chen Jianjun was angry.

But he already knew that Zhang Weizhao was not a person who would look at the wind and rudder and accept it when he saw it, so after scolding, he patiently explained to her:

"Lu Zhensheng is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the imperial court. Even if I am the Son of Heaven, it is not easy for me to forcibly interfere in other people's family affairs. Just put this girl back and let them settle it well. ”

Zhang Weizhao still didn't appreciate it: "Lu Zhensheng is suspected of raping and abusing underage girls, according to Tian Yusheng, there are many young women in his house, and he bought these girls and coerced and humiliated them in the name of Yin and Yang double cultivation. Your Majesty, this is a violation of the law, and it is no longer a family matter! ”

Chen Jianjun held his forehead with his hand, and he looked speechless. After a while, he put down his hand and said to Zhang Weizhao: "Where did you hear that buying a girl for double cultivation is a violation of the law?" He spent money on the people he bought, as long as the deeds were complete, he could use them as he wanted, and as long as he did not kill people, he did not break the law. You better be a Taoist doctor, don't talk to me about the law! "There is a look on your face that you are legally blind, and you really can't do anything.

"Really?" Zhang Weizhao was very shocked, she knew that buying and selling human beings was common in this era, but she didn't know that slaves were so cheap.

"Can I still lie to you?" Chen Jianjun replied.

"Isn't it illegal for him to rape and beat them?" Zhang Weizhao still didn't believe it.

"Not illegal. At most, it can be regarded as a private morality. Chen Jianjun said.

Zhang Weizhao turned to Chen Youcong again and asked him for confirmation: "Is this really the case? ”

Chen Youcong empathized with Zhang Weizhao's emotions at this time, but he had to tell her the truth: "That's the case. And even if it is to kill a house slave, the conviction must be reduced, and at most a fine of money and food will be imposed. Some masters will say that they killed a house slave because the other party stole property, and they should be punished by family law. ”

When Zhang Weizhao heard this, he showed a blank look on his face, and stood there stunned and silent. She couldn't understand why some people's lives were so despised that they were all human beings and only had one life? No matter how trampled and bullied you are, there is not even a little room for resistance, just like grass mustard and fine dust?

Zhang Weizhao usually looks comfortable and confident, but suddenly he is dazed and vulnerable, which makes Chen Jianjun a little unbearable, and said:

"That's the end of it. Go and refine your medicine, read your scriptures, and don't worry about idle things. Saying that, he turned his head: "Wang Zhi, you send this girl out of the palace." ”

"Wait!" Zhang Weizhao came back to his senses and was indomitable: "Your Majesty, Miss Tian is not Lu Zhensheng's house slave, but the daughter of a good family, he has done such a bad thing to her, he can always resort to the law, right?" ”

Chen Jianjun showed a look of why are you here again, and waved his hand to ask Chen Youcong to answer.

Chen Youcong said: "If a child wants to sue his parents to the official, it is unfilial, and the government must first treat the children for the crime of unfilial piety before questioning the parents' responsibility, and beat the board or put the shackles on the public display. If the accusation is not true, the child will be hanged or, in the most serious cases, Ling Chi. Miss Tian was raised by Lu Zhensheng and was regarded as a child. And she is now alone, obviously unable to come up with human and physical evidence, and the outcome can be imagined. ”

"That means that he can do whatever he wants in his house, even if it is the Son of Heaven and the crown prince, there is nothing he can do?" Zhang Weizhao looked at the father and son of the Heavenly Family with burning eyes.

Chen Youcong had a stomach full of words, but he couldn't say anything at this time, just lowered his head.

Chen Jianjun said: "This is a law and a custom, even if it is the Son of Heaven, it cannot be changed arbitrarily." What's more, why should I treat Lu Zhensheng's sin? Whether he committed the things that this girl said, you can't show evidence to confirm it, right? Maybe she had an affair with someone and was planted on Lao Lu's head? ”

"The scars on her body can't be faked!"

"Maybe the scars were left by her misbehavior and being punished by her elders?"

Hearing this, Zhang Weizhao seemed to be choked and couldn't speak, and nodded for a long time and said, "Okay!" Good! I understand. Your Majesty, you are actually in the same group as Lu Zhensheng! ”

Chen Jianjun was so angry that he wanted to slap the table again, and said, "What are you talking about!" ”

Chen Youcong twisted his eyebrows to look at Zhang Weizhao and motioned her to stop talking. Wang Zhi watched gloatingly, he knew Zhang Weizhao's violent temper regardless of it, and he also suffered a lot from Zhang Weizhao. This time, she actually dared to have such an attack with His Majesty, to see what good fruit she could eat in the end?

"What laws and customs should not be touched? It's nothing more than the majesty of the king and the father that cannot be touched! If you meet a wise man and a loving father, you can naturally be filial to your father and son. But if not, if you hold on, you have to support the appearance of father and son, even if the family carnival of the fourth generation and the fifth generation of Qichang has long been full of bones and blood! ”

"Zhaoming Zhenren, be cautious!" Chen Youcong shouted.

Zhang Weizhao looked at him with apologetic eyes, but she didn't plan to stop this time. Where is she wearing this? She wanted to ask Chen Jianjun, is this hell? Are you the devil? If so, she's gone! She didn't want to stay in this place anymore! So she went on to say:

"What is too difficult to verify, obviously in order to maintain the prosperity of the court, the illusion of Shilin Xianda, I am not willing to touch a silverfish in the court at all! You said that it is legal for Lu Zhensheng to keep domestic slaves, and it is also legal to abuse young girls, but your Dayan official's reputation is low, where did he get the money to buy slaves, and His Majesty has no points in his heart? Is Your Majesty unclear about the virtues of the officials under his rule? There are many true gentlemen in the court, but there are also many male thieves and female prostitutes, and there are people who are sanctimonious, and their poison is better than that of the innocent people, Your Majesty really doesn't know? ”

These words were too heavy, not only Chen Youcong, but even Wang Zhi was a little shocked when he heard it, and Li Tianshi, who was kneeling at the foot of the house, was also frightened enough, lest Chen Jianjun's thunderous anger affect him. Only Tian Yusheng lay on the ground, unconscious, as if dead. However, under her cheeks, at some point, the ground was wet.

Zhang Weizhao has always learned to be a person of this era, but after all, she grew up in a civilized legal society, and she has no servility in her bones, so once she rebounds, she looks extremely unscrupulous and lawless.

"You! You! Chen Jianjun stood up and pointed at Zhang Weizhao's nose: "You despise your father like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?" ”

After saying this, Chen Jianjun felt a sense of déjà vu, and suddenly remembered that this was the sentence that Cheng Zu shouted angrily when he faced Fang Xiaoru, who would rather die than give in.

At that time, Fang Xiaoru replied, I am not afraid of the Ten Clans.

Chen Jianjun suddenly felt worried, what if Zhang Weizhao also followed Fang Xiaoru and said, "I'm not afraid of the Ten Clans"? Do you really want to punish her ten clans? Chen Jianjun felt that this matter was very tricky.

Zhang Weizhao said: "I am alone in this world, like a lonely soul and a wild ghost, how can there be nine clans to punish Your Majesty?" I'm here anyway, and punishing me is equivalent to punishing the nine clans. Zhao Chen saw Jun arched his hand.

The expected lines did not appear, and Chen Jianjun glared at Zhang Weizhao, not knowing how to answer.

Zhang Weizhao also looked at him. The two of them stared at each other. The others did not dare to make any sound, and for a moment, the Queen Mother Hall became eerily silent.

"Good! Good! After a while, Chen Jianjun said, "Since you want to be punished by the Nine Clans so much, I will fulfill you." Originally, this sentence should have been said very imposingly, but because of the inexplicable interruption just now, that kind of ruthlessness was discounted a lot.

"Father!" Chen Youcong knelt down in front of Chen Jianjun and replied: "Although Zhaoming Zhenren is offended by words, she is a child's heart, and she does not mean to offend the holy driver. There are many well-educated people in this world, but it is extremely rare to be able to say their true thoughts in the face of Tianyan. My father has always had the measure of Tang Taizong's Chana Yayan, so I asked my father to forgive her for her blunt words. He bowed his head deeply as he spoke.

Chen Jianjun was really very angry with Zhang Weizhao's behavior today, and he was so angry that he wanted to punish her immediately and make her bow her head and apologize, understanding how stupid it was to offend the emperor like this. But it is very strange that deep in his heart, he does not want to see Zhang Weizhao groveling. Her ease and self-confidence are a very pure strength, and when Chen Jianjun and Zhang Weizhao "practice" together, they seem to feel that this power can form a tight barrier, which not only makes him feel safe, but also provides him with nourishment. So he didn't want to destroy her, to make her shattered and bleak.

He has a way to destroy a person, the inner torture hall, the west factory, and let her walk around anywhere, which is enough to turn her into a humanoid puppet. But he'd seen too many humanoid golems, and he didn't want her to be one of them.

So Chen Jianjun saw that Chen Youcong gave him a step, so he went down and said, "Since the prince intercedes for her like this, then I will exempt her from the death penalty." But she had to pay the price for her insulting words. Prince, how do you say how to punish her? He looked at the prince with meaningful eyes.

The prince knelt on the ground and hung his head, and said clearly word by word: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to remove her from the name of Zhaoming and expelled her from the palace as a punishment." "She is not fit to live in the Imperial City, there is no room for her free soul here. Although she was reluctant, Chen Youcong still felt that at the moment, this should be the best choice for her.

Chen Jianjun didn't expect Chen Youcong to say this. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was fine, but his starting point was different from Chen Youcong, so he said: "Just according to what the prince said." ”

He turned to Zhang Weizhao in a mocking tone and said, "For the sake of the prince's face, I will no longer punish you today and allow you to leave the palace." Not only is you allowed to leave the palace, but you can also take the girl you desperately want to protect with you. You must know that the world respects you, and half of it is because of your royal title of Zhaoming Zhenren, and this girl asks you for help because she has heard of your name. You're nothing now, who else can you protect? Who wants to follow you? Don't say you can't protect her, I'm afraid you won't even be able to protect yourself. ”
