The case is not that big, but the number of people involved in the case are too high-end, and more importantly, they are all closely related to the royal family. Unlike the Wang family, which has five surnames and seven families, it was originally the target of the royal family's suppression.
Whether it is Xiao Rui's family, Pei Xingjian's family, Uncle Ji Wang, or Lu Lisu, these four seemingly unrelated families all have close relationships with the royal family.
Moreover, Pei Xingjian will also become the father-in-law of the royal family. In this case, two of the four families will be the father-in-law of the royal family, and two will be the son-in-law of the royal family. How should this case be decided
Decide the case impartially? Then which aristocratic families will the royal family rely on to rule the country in the future
After all, today's Tang Dynasty still follows the system of the previous dynasty. The royal family and the wealthy families are equal to the system of co-governing the world. The power has not been completely concentrated in the hands of the royal family. Therefore, after encountering a hot potato, Li There was no way to cure it for a while.
In addition, Di Renjie, the minister of Dali Temple who has always lacked enthusiasm for high-ranking families and wealthy dignitaries, if this case is left to Di Renjie to act arbitrarily, the royal family will offend a circle of people after the case is completed.
This was also what gave Li Hong a headache, so he retracted his head at the beginning, but now faced with Father Long’s questioning, Li Hong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Father, there are many people involved in this case. Then We might as well take the benevolent measures adopted by the late emperor to solve the problem."
"Benevolent governance? Since when has your grandpa been benevolent? That's all for the world to see. As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, you don't understand any of this?" Li Zhi's head was a bit too hard to turn around.
"Then what you are doing now is to be seen by the world, isn't it? Is that why you are in trouble? If you don't make it difficult, you will push your son forward?" Li Hong was very depressed. You are really a dead Taoist friend, not a dead Taoist. Ah, I really plan to watch the show standing up.
Seeing that Li Zhi was about to pat him on the head again, Li Hong said hurriedly: "Stop, stop, stop, I am a sick person now. You can't hit me at all times. Your mother will feel distressed if you see her."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to take care of my feelings. You can punish me as you please." A loving mother's voice sounded at the door 'gently'.
Li Hong suddenly lost his temper like a frustrated ball and rolled his eyes: "Ouch... Ouch... Erchen suddenly felt dizzy and trembling all over. Hurry up, hurry up, please ask the imperial doctor to come over and examine you... Father, this is actually the case. At that time, the emperor once said: "Rule the world with mercy, especially punishment." Is that right? Then you can be more lenient with Uncle Ji Wang and others. As for Xiao Shouye, actually It is your own fault, and you should handle it according to my laws of the Tang Dynasty. By the way, at this point, I remembered it. Since the Xiao family of Lanling is opportunistic and has made a lot of money for the country by reselling the grain in the charity warehouse, it is better to take this opportunity and place Li Sujie in Lanling, in this way, we can further disintegrate and suppress Lanling, and at the same time cut off their desire to join the ranks of the five surnames and seven families. "
Halfway through the trick, they saw the dear and kind queen mother coming in with a feather duster, so someone hurriedly spoke energetically, and at the same time pushed Li Sujie to the front. Li Sujie has become famous over the years, and he can be regarded as a wise king. Thinking about it, the father would definitely not refuse, not to mention that the relationship between him and Concubine Xiao Shu was so disconnected now that even the queen mother turned a blind eye.
Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully as he listened to Li Hong's words, and even Wu Mei was a little moved.
The reason why Li Zhi thinks it makes sense is that in this way, he can still maintain the authority of his emperor in front of Concubine Xiao Shu. At the same time, he has been thinking about Concubine Xiao Shu for a long time over the years, but there has been no progress. Every time he wants to get intimate, he Concubine Xiao Shu extinguished the fire of desire that finally arose in him on the grounds of the strict rules and precepts of a monk.
So if I could move Li Sujie to Li Sujie and arrange marriages for two public servants, would I be able to have a happy marriage
Thinking of this, Li Zhi nodded approvingly. He couldn't praise his son in front of Wu Mei, so he had to secretly give Li Hong a thumbs up, "Good son, you really know how to think about your father."
"Okay, in that case, I will move Li Sujie to Lanling soon." Li Zhi was satisfied, and the slender and graceful figure of Concubine Xiao Shu appeared in his mind.
Wu Mei was able to become the only female emperor in Chinese history. I dare not say that she is very clear about the psychological context of ordinary people, but she is deeply concerned about her husband, whom she shares the same bed with all year round, and her son, who often needs to be given advice. Xiao Jiujiu can still grasp some of the context.
The phoenix eyes reflected a cold light that frightened Li Hong. He looked at Li Hong with a sneer, and then looked disdainfully at Li Zhi, who was laughing awkwardly next to him as if his thoughts had been read. He lazily said: "Li Hong Yiyang, the two princesses of Yiyang and Gao'an, were about to get married, so he forced Li Sujie to stay in Chang'an. Now it seems that Li Hong had long wanted to move Li Sujie to Lanling to serve. But as His Majesty the Emperor, you can Don’t you think it’s unreasonable to obey the prince’s words like this?”
"Mother...Mother, from what you said, I have always behaved openly and aboveboard. How could I hide anything from my father and you? Didn't my father mention this? I just mentioned it so casually. After all, the Lanling Xiao family is now His appetite is not as big as usual. Why did Xiao Shouye sell the grain at such a low price? Isn't it because the Lanling Xiao family lost their source of income due to Aunt Lanling's financial suppression? ? Now that the Lanling Xiao family is in financial straits, they want to climb to the top of the Five Surnames and Seven Families. If the father does not suppress or warn them, other high-ranking families will naturally follow suit. "
"Isn't that good? From now on, the royal family can just sit back and watch, wouldn't it be nice to watch them suffer a bloody blow?" Wu Mei slowly sat down next to Li Zhi, holding the feather duster in her hand on the ground. It looked like a mountain. The image of the king.
Someone was lying on the bed, and in front of the bed were the Emperor and Queen of the Tang Dynasty, looking at him with tiger eyes and phoenix eyes. He suddenly felt Alexander, and felt like he had been stripped naked when Bai Chun changed his dressing just now.
So someone hurriedly covered the corner of the quilt by himself, and after feeling a little bit safe, he continued: "Mother, if you sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, then when these high-ranking people strive to climb up, they will be able to use it. They are the poor people in the world. When they make friends with the poor people all over the world and attract them all, won't our Imperial family of the Tang Dynasty be left with nothing? Then isn't that the point of suppressing the five surnames and seven families? Doesn’t exist anymore?”
Just like Wu Mei can easily grasp the connection between him and Li Zhi, Li Hong can also grasp the seven inches of his mother Long, which is the importance he attaches to the poor men in the world. It is precisely because of this that he has What Shi did did made Long Ma have to put the justice of the world first between the poor family members and her own selfishness.
Hearing Li Hong's words, Wu Mei felt a little unable to refute. She straightened her feather duster on the ground and pointed it at Li Hong. The female bandit leader's actions were clearly visible, and she said domineeringly: "In that case, why did you send Li Sujie to Lanzhou?" Ling? Your Aunt Lanling is in Lanling now, and with your unfilial son supporting her, can the little hooves of the Lanling family still bounce? "
"Talk about things, talk about things, why do you blame me as you talk?"
"You don't have any secrets in your heart, so how can you know that I mean what I said about the little hoof?"
"The Xiao family of Lanling is a big family. You are so small-minded. These words coming from the mouth of a queen like you, who has always respected the world, are disrespectful to the majesty of the royal family. I am reminding you to pay attention to your wording." Li Zhi said dissatisfiedly. .
"Really...? I haven't seen you dissatisfied for so many years. Why are you dissatisfied today when it comes to the Lanling Xiao family? Then Xiao, have I ever stopped you from visiting me in the past few years? Have I ever done anything for you? Are you sorry for her? As the Lord of the East Palace, can't I just say a few words in front of Hong'er?"
"Having said that, as the queen of the mother world, it is true that it is inappropriate for you to speak like this."
"Humph, I just said it! Li Hong, don't pretend to be asleep for me. You have to listen to this matter even if you don't want to. You have to listen even if you don't. Just pretend to be deaf and dumb, right?"
I don't know whether Wu Mei was angry in her heart or the feather duster was angry. After hearing the couple quarreling, someone began to close his eyes and rest. If his ears could move, they would be like two doors, slowly closing at this moment. .
But after being stabbed several times with an angry feather duster, someone could no longer pretend no matter how hard he wanted to continue. He could only open his innocent eyes wide and say blankly: "Maybe he was left behind after being blown up by thunder that day. Due to the sequelae, Erchen can't help but want to sleep from time to time. It seems that Erchen's injury will take another month and a half to nurse... "
"Get out of bed immediately and go back to your East Palace!" Li Zhi suddenly stood up. Unfilial son, I, despite the pressure from your mother, agreed to Li Sujie's move to Lanling. You actually achieved your goal. Later, the two of them didn't help each other! I really misjudged you, this unfilial son.
Li Zhi pulled up the stool, stood back, glared, and waited for Li Hong to get off the bed and roll to his east palace.
Wu Mei was angry when she saw Li Zhi. She was still angry. As the queen in charge of the harem, couldn't I still dictate and say anything about the people and things in the harem?
"Why are you lingering? Get out of bed quickly and go back to your east palace!" The loving mother in Li Hong's eyes and heart these past few days said again 'gently'.
"No... why don't you and I get involved in your quarrel? I'm still injured. How about you go to another place to quarrel?" Li Hong wanted to cry. I might have a fake father and queen. .
"Are you going to go away or not!" His father and mother threatened in unison.
"Okay, okay, I'll just get out." So someone, wearing single clothes, accompanied by Bai Chun, "sadly" rolled out of the Qianyuan Hall, and "sadly" walked towards the East Palace.
