Chapter 33: No Repentance
The first update
"So this is also a common problem in our court, right? I only have one daughter, who is my heart. I thought that all fathers in the world were like me, and regarded their children as their own. I can't see them hurt in the slightest. I can't imagine that parents will treat their children as property. Why do you have a baby? In order to train them well, to become upright, kind, and excellent people. This is the intention of parents, not to let their children go to their own destiny. Even if she was beaten to death by her in-laws, it was her life, so it had nothing to do with her parents. Whoever dares to beat my daughter will destroy his nine clans. ”
Chery looked up at Xianfeng, is this okay now? Having said that, who will dare to marry a princess in the future.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zeng feels that he can't destroy Gangchang just because he is his daughter. Who can not feel sorry for his children? Li Hongzhang saw that his teacher was still kneeling, and there was no way, so he came out to laugh.
"Just now, the emperor also praised Lord Zeng's eyes like a torch, and the scum in the court was singled out by him and given to his daughter, saving others from harm. What a great virtue! Rong An was angry when he saw Zeng Guofan, and couldn't help but say.
"Okay, your mother is not in good health, I'm afraid I won't be able to run ten laps, you go and have a look." Xianfeng patted his daughter, and said everything that should be said, and it would not be good to let her daughter be here.
"Yes!" Rong An was not that ignorant, got up and squatted lightly at Xianfeng, and then retreated.
"Zeng Qing is flat! Children don't know how important they are, you are a well-educated person, and you will not blame her. However, I am not satisfied with your way of governing the family. The father is the big tree in the family, and it is the right to shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain, rather than letting his daughter accept her fate and then die in tears. Xianfeng sighed softly.
Zeng Guofan was helped by Li Hongzhang before he staggered up. But he could only sneer, but Xianfeng saw his face, there was no sadness or sadness in his eyes, he was just more at a loss, obviously, everything just now was in vain. He didn't realize what they were angry about.
"Zeng Qing, your other three daughters like it very much, let people take it away, their marriage contract will be canceled!" Xianfeng's face sank.
"Your Majesty, this ......" Zeng Guofan hurriedly stepped forward, and now that his daughter has been taken away, although he has saved face, but, in this way, his daughter has withdrawn from marriage, how can he face his old friends underground? And have he not become a man of his word?
"Now you shut up, I don't want to talk to you anymore." Xianfeng was angry, and he knew by looking at his appearance that what he said was something he didn't want to hear.
Everyone looked at Zeng Guofan's face together, and they were all speechless. Even Hanchen is actually a little dumbfounded. His own daughter was beaten into the hospital, and he was indifferent. In what the princess said just now, is this person really insensitive? Mainly, there is no face. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, and people beat your daughter, not a dog. You're stretching out your face to make people beat!
And the officials of the Eight Banners looked at it stupidly, this person has a problem with his brain, right? The emperor, the queen, and Her Royal Highness the princess have all expressed strong dissatisfaction, what is he still tough? Over the years, who has really won the emperor and queen?
"Your case is tried in public, and it may not be possible for the eldest girl to appear in court, but there are always girls in their family, all of whom are witnesses, and they will be judged according to the law. After the sentence is over, a big announcement will be made to let the world know that beating his wife is not his own business, and he will be sentenced. Xianfeng pointed to Shuntianfu.
Shuntianfu peeked at Zeng Guofan, but he could only nod at Xianfeng, but when he finished ordering, he was kicked, and he was busy with a long stroke, "The minister obeys the order!" ”
"Li Hongzhang, do a pilot in the capital and see how the protection bill that Master Qi just said will be formulated and promoted." Xianfeng looked at Li Hongzhang.
"Obey the order!" Li Hongzhang hurriedly let go of his teacher and took his own life.
"You know what to do, right?" Xianfeng looked at Chery.
"Yes, the slave knows, please rest assured!" Chery was also busy receiving orders.
Xianfeng got up and was about to turn back, thinking about it, he pointed at Zeng Guofan, "You have no way to govern your family, except for the rank of university scholar!" ”
Zeng Guofan stumbled again, and was inexplicably pushed to the end all of a sudden. Official position or something, he wanted to work hard to say to himself, it doesn't matter, it's just an official position, and the most important thing is his reputation.
He has always been proud of his own way of governing his family, he feels that his home is the perfect family of the Qing Dynasty, and now Xianfeng says that he has no way to govern his family, which is simply the biggest blow to him.
"Teacher, the student will send you back." Everyone left, and Li Hongzhang looked helplessly at Zeng Guofan, who was lost and depressed.
"Hongzhang, is the emperor really angry for Ji Jing?" Zeng Guofan looked at the student, he still didn't believe it, for the sake of his daughter, he pushed himself from a first-class feudal official to the end.
"There's no other reason than this." Li Hongzhang looked at his teacher, he was really speechless, he had been reminding him since Zeng Guofan came back, but why could he just not hear it?
"It's just a family matter!" Zeng Guofan still doesn't understand, why is this happening?
"Teacher, let's go!" Li Hongzhang didn't want to say anything, it had been so long, and he didn't ask how Ji Jing was.
When Zeng Guofan returned home, his wife was sitting in the hall in a daze, and when she saw him coming in, she didn't get up to greet him like before. Zeng Guofan was also exhausted, sat back in his place, the servant hurriedly stepped forward to bring the tea, he took a few big sips, he almost knelt from beginning to end this time, since he was an official, he had never been so compromised since he was just admitted to the Tongjin Shi. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I slammed my cup on the table.
"Master, let's leave!" Mrs. Zeng finally raised her face and smiled at him, "There is still the Chen family at home, so there is no need to worry." This is the book of separation, the concubine asked, it turned out that there was a printed one in the yamen, and it was used at will, the concubine had already written, you signed it, and handed it over to the yamen for the record. ”
"You ......" Zeng Guofan opened his mouth and couldn't say any more words, there was no anger on his wife's face, he could only see the relaxation of relief from her face, under this demeanor, his next words could only choke in his throat. But the eyes can breathe fire.
"I also wrote the revelation of Heli, and sent it to the newspaper, from tomorrow, the Ouyang family will have nothing to do with the Zeng family." Ouyang saluted him again, picked up the small bag he had just held and left. She has even cut off her own back road, and she is open and separated, and Zeng Guofan can't get along if she wants to.
And Ouyang's personal girl was in a dilemma, and she gritted her teeth and chased out. No matter how excessive the lord is, he won't even give his deed of sale to his wife, right?
