The eldest grandson Xingbu had been kneeling in Yang Ming's study for more than an hour.

Yang Ming is sitting behind a few cases right now, flipping through Pei Ju's volume of "Atlas of the Western Regions".

I have to say that those important ministers during the Kaihuang period were indeed interested, and Pei Ju stayed in Zhangye for two and a half years, but the content recorded in this Western Regions Atlas is very detailed and can be regarded as a treasure.

In other words, Yang Guang is eating his father's old book, and just these auxiliary ministers who stayed behind are a great fortune.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, the courtiers who really came out of his hands could be called pillars, and Yuwenshu followed him to protect his children, and the others were almost meaningless.

On the contrary, Su Wei, Pei Ju, Niu Hong, and Yang Yue, who were already central bosses during the Kaihuang period, really supported this court.

Zhang Heng and Guo Yan are considered good ministers, but unfortunately Guo Yan is dead, and Zhang Heng is not treated by Yang Guang at the moment, but Pei Yun and Yu Shiji are in a good situation.

"Are the rumors true?" Yang Ming didn't look up, as if asking casually.

The eldest grandson Xingbu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the prince finally spoke to me, and he replied:

"Never dare to deceive Your Highness, there is definitely a situation where the general of the city defense guard is full of private pockets, and the minister did not discipline Anye well, causing him to be corrupt and pervert the law, the minister is guilty, please ask His Highness to surrender the crime."

Yang Ming said lightly: "When your father was still alive, I was always protecting him, including your second uncle, Sun Chi, who was also recommended by me when he was still in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I didn't treat your family well." ”

"Prince Tian'en, the eldest grandson has nothing to repay," the eldest grandson Xingbu kowtowed to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming closed the file, raised his head and said: "You are the eldest son, so Lone asked you to come to the East Palace, Wuji is the youngest son, and he is still young, so Lone is by the side of the son, such an arrangement, how painstaking Lone is, you will not know." ”

After that, Yang Ming got up and paced back and forth in front of the bookshelf:

"Diligence and thrift have not been unhappy, arrogance and fatigue have not been undefeated, the eldest grandson Shengquan has knowledge, if he knows that there is such a trouble between your brothers, he can't close his eyes."

The eldest grandson Xingbu suddenly cried bitterly: "The minister has failed His Highness, and the minister is ashamed of his father." ”

Yang Ming snorted coldly: "You are your brother's restraint is unfavorable, guilty, An Yemu is lawless and guilty, how to deal with you lonely this time I don't care, how Dali Temple decides, how to come, lest others say that Lone is too partial to you." ”

"The minister is willing to accept the guilt together with the eldest grandson Anye," the eldest grandson Xingbu kowtowed.

Yang Ming said lightly: "There will be afterglow in the house of goodness, and there will be aftermath in the house of unkindness, so let's do it ourselves." ”

Since the beginning of the emperor's reign, the position of Dali Siqing must be upright and selfless, and the iron-faced selfless person can hold it, to put it bluntly, I am no one bird, and no one will give face.

Today's Dali Siqing is Zheng Shanguo, and the two Shaoqing are Pei Yun and Yang Wang.

The case of the eldest grandson Anye was directly sent to Dali Temple, and there was no three repetitions, because those who were sentenced to death must go through three recitals before they could be executed, and the matter of the eldest grandson Anye was not enough to be executed.

That's the case, according to the law of the Great Sui, no matter how greedy you are, there is no death penalty, the most important thing is to be degraded to a concubine, and with the background of the eldest grandson Anye, in fact, Yang Ming has to nod in the end.

But Yang Ming said, this time I don't nod, Dali Temple can have the final say.

Obviously, he doesn't want to protect it, so Dali Temple must be going to die.

Zheng Shanguo and Yang Wang are both in Beijing, and what is stacked in front of them is the case file handed over by Si Litai, and the illegal things that the eldest grandson Anye did are clearly investigated.

I usually don't check you, but I didn't let you check it, as long as I checked it, I checked it accurately.

"The eldest grandson Anye is easy to handle, it's good to be demoted to a concubine, it's this eldest grandson Xingbu, how to judge, it's not easy to handle," Yang Wang looked at Zheng Shanguo, waiting for the other party to make an idea.

Who does Zheng Shanguo belong to? The emperor and the crown prince made mistakes, and he dared to pick on them.

Of course, picking thorns at Yang Guang is a bit painless, but picking thorns at the prince, he is very energetic, because he feels that the prince is the hope of the future, and he must be strict with himself and lenient with others.

For example, the matter of Jinyang Tower, the matter of letting Dugu Yin go to Menxia Province, and the matter of sitting back and watching King Liang's corruption, etc., etc., he has advised him.

Yang Ming's face, of course, is also humbly adopted, as for whether to change it or not, it is not Zheng Shanguo who can manage it.

"Obviously, the prince doesn't intend to be partial this time, the eldest grandson's family has been too capable of making trouble recently, and they are not ashamed, but they definitely don't know, they have also lost the face of the prince and the prince," Zheng Shanguo said:

"In these files reported by Wei Fuzi, it is recorded that the eldest grandson Anye has been greedy for money over the years, and the eldest grandson Xingbu has not spent less, it can be seen that he does not report it in the knowing, and he knows the law and violates the law.

Yang Wang frowned and said, "Do you really dare to be this master?" The prince's people, we say that it is exempt? ”

Zheng Shanguo said with a smile: "Can't you see that the prince actually borrowed the hand of Dali Temple this time to help kick out the eldest grandson Xingbu?" If the crown prince does it, I am afraid that he will end up with a reputation of being unkind, and it is logical for us to do it. ”

Yang Wang smiled and said, "I thought I was going to borrow the eldest grandson Anye to warn the other prison generals and let them spit out some money." ”

Zheng Shanguo said: "This meaning, there must be something, the oil and water of the prison guards are too big, you change a batch, the next batch is still this virtue, it can't be forbidden, and they are all implicated in the twelve guards behind them, the law is not responsible, the eldest grandson Anye is killing chickens to show the monkey this time, the court wants to take advantage of this to collect some money back, count him unlucky, he has been in the limelight recently." ”

"This kid really doesn't go on the road, he dares to say anything after drinking, I heard that the eldest grandson's family is also looking for trouble for him," Yang Wang said: "Verbally insulting his stepmother, this is also unfilial piety, and his career is broken." ”

Zheng Shanguo took a dossier, then dipped the pen in dansha and drew a circle:

"It's so decided, the eldest grandson Anye was demoted to a concubine, and the eldest grandson Xingbu was dismissed from his post and left for use."

The eldest grandson Wuji, who lived in Gao Shilian's mansion, was also stunned when he learned the news, and hurriedly discussed it with his uncle and mother Gao.

"The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant," Gao Shilian smiled and said: "The prince still maintains Mowgli." ”

Gao's face was ugly and said:

"Xingbu is the chief, and now he has been dismissed and gone home, it is still unknown whether he can be used in the future, Anye is deserved, but Xingbu should not be like this, Ji Sheng (the word of the eldest grandson) will never bear to fall to this end, this is the chief, if he is ruined, the family will be defeated."

How awesome was Chang Chang in ancient times? If the eldest son dies, both parents need to wear filial piety, and it is the heaviest of the five clothes.

The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed and said: "Although I resent them, I can't bear to be like this, Xingbu has no title, only a last rank of the Chaosan doctor, according to the past practice, once he is removed from office, it is difficult to be used again, we are not Jing Zhaowei, no one else has that ability." ”

The eldest grandson Chi and eldest grandson Sheng, the most powerful members of the eldest grandson family, are dead, and the descendants have no support, and they are at a low point right now, and only the Luoyang Yuan family can help.

But the Yuan family couldn't speak in Dali Temple, after all, the people had already been sentenced, and no one could bear to let the family change the sentence.

"Xingbu must be protected, otherwise I will be ashamed of my deceased husband," Gao Zhengse said: "Fortunately, in the punishment of Dali Temple, there is a sentence to be used, we can think of a way on these four words, and my brother will help Xingbu." ”

Gao Shilian shook his head and said: "It's useless, Zheng Shanguo's oil and salt don't enter, I see people on weekdays, and people don't look at me squarely, this matter ends here, the prince acquiesces, Dali Temple judges, this is something that no one can change, and whoever of you dares to appeal, is not able to get along with Dali Temple." ”

Gao said with a sad expression: "If Xingbu is cut off from this career, how can I explain to Ji Sheng after I go down?" I can't cause the family to fall because of me and Wuji, and I can't afford this infamy. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent.

The next day, snow fell in Jingshi, and Gao, dressed in plain clothes, knelt outside the Suzaku Gate, wanting to intercede for the eldest grandson Xingbu.

She is very smart this time, this matter can't be done by the man in the family, whoever dares to intercede will be punished, but the woman is fine, not to mention that Gao is indeed a stepmother.

The stepmother is also a mother, and the mother pleads for her son, which is justified.

After the matter spread, many people in the eldest grandson's family came to persuade the Gao family to leave, including the two sons-in-law of the eldest grandson Sheng in Beijing, Wang Shao, the general secretary of the Inner History Province, and Taicheng Liu Kui.

"You go back for me, don't come to this set of fake mercy," the eldest grandson Xingbu looked disgusted and went to pull the Gao clan on the ground, but was kicked to the ground by his fourth uncle, the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson slapped him twice, grabbed his nephew's collar, and said hatefully:

"You wicked, at the foot of the Imperial City, you dare to treat your stepmother like this? Do you still want your face anymore? ”

The eldest grandson Xingbu also reacted, after all, it was outside, and the son should not treat his mother like this, so he hurriedly knelt in front of Gao:

"You can go back with me, the whole Jingshi is watching his son's jokes, so don't make trouble for your son anymore."

Gao was silent from beginning to end.

A group of people blocked outside the Suzaku Gate, and today on duty was Yang Yan, the second son of Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, and I saw him send everyone away:

"What are you trying to do here? Give me a dodge, the crown princess's car is about to return to the palace, block the drive, I want to arrest people, don't blame me for not saving face for you when the time comes. ”

Changsun Chang hurriedly greeted everyone: "Dodge, dodge, hurry up." ”

Everyone retreated to the side of the road, only the Gao family was still kneeling in the middle, and others didn't dare to pull, after all, it was the wife of Changsun Sheng, and the others were either juniors or juniors, and they didn't dare to pull.

Yang Yan is also embarrassed, the female stream, not to mention that Changsun Sheng's prestige in the military has always been very good, and he doesn't want to embarrass a woman's family, but the son of the family follows the prince back to the palace every three days.

The prince is so protective, he doesn't want to provoke right and wrong.

Time passed little by little, Pei Shuying, who went out to pick up her son back to the palace, the convoy arrived outside the Suzaku Gate, far away, Pei Zhong got off the horse and stepped forward, originally planning to drive people, but when he saw that it was the mother of the eldest grandson Wuji, he went back to report to Pei Shuying.

Why did Pei Zhong know Gao?

Because in the early years, when Yang Rui arranged a residence for his eldest grandson Wuji, it was Yang Jin who stole Pei Shuying's land deed, which was the backyard of a silk village, and the manager of that silk village was Pei Zhong's youngest son Pei Hong. (End of chapter)
