Facing Su Gui's plea, Li Hong did not feel guilty because of Wen Wen, Shangguan Wan'er and Li Lingyue's temperament that they would not suffer any loss.
But in Chang'an City, or in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is probably no one who dares to bully them. Now that they have a conflict with someone, they will obviously not suffer any grievances.
What's more, Bai Chun's Jingwei is not a fool. Otherwise, how could Wen Rou take his two sons to Chang'an to play in the heavily guarded palace.
Therefore, although Li Hong did not feel guilty when facing Su Gui's plea, there was no need to just kick Su Gui before the matter was clarified.
"Explain clearly, what's going on?" Li Hong asked the official again.
Su Gui didn't dare to say another word now. Since it was the chief official who said that his evil son had also come in, he could only listen and let His Majesty decide how to deal with this incident next. Handled it myself.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's... the dispute was caused by the explosion in Taiyi City a few days ago, and the accident in which a hot air balloon fell to death and injured many people a few days ago."
"What does that have to do with his son?" Li Hong asked, pointing to Su Gui who was also confused.
"Su Yan was acquainted with those people who had a quarrel with the imperial concubine and the princess, and threatened to write a letter to Master Li Qiao of the Yushitai, so he was also involved."
"Who were those people who had the quarrel with Li Lingyue and the others?" Li Hong glanced at Su Gui. He knew that Li Qiao was friends with Su Gui, and when he appointed Su Gui as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, he even consulted Accept Li Qiao’s opinion.
The evaluation of Su Gui was impartial. It was based entirely on the appointment and dismissal of officials in the court and whether it was beneficial to the court. There was no deliberate criticism of Su Gui.
"The main conflicts with Princess Wen, Princess Shangguan and Her Royal Highness are Du Xian and Du Bing, the eldest son of Luoyang Prime Minister Du Shenyan, and Cui Yongke, son of Cui Rong, the young minister of Dali Temple." The official replied with his head lowered.
Du Shenyan, Cui Rong, Li Qiao and Su Weiwei were gradually regarded as outstanding literary figures who could rival Luo Binwang, Wang Bo, Yang Jiong and Lu Zhaolin in literary attainments. They were also the future Four Friends of Articles. .
"The Prime Minister of Luoyang, the Young Minister of Dali Temple, and you, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, haha, these people must be the ones that no one dares to mess with in Chang'an City and can walk sideways. Let's go and take a look first." Li Hong He stood up, pointed to the house in the front hall of the Yamen, and started to move forward.
Su Gui and the chief official's hearts tightened, as if something heavy had hit their chests. For a moment, they felt like they couldn't breathe, and stars were shooting out of their eyes.
If His Majesty was sitting on the throne just now with a relaxed and calm look on his face, then when he heard that the people who had a conflict with the imperial concubine were the sons of important officials in the court, although Long Yan seemed calm, he was faintly... The two of them could already feel a warmth of anger in His Majesty's tone.
No matter what the twists and turns of the matter are, just because of the names of the governor of Jingzhao, the prime minister of Luoyang, and the young minister of Dali Temple, several men openly clashed with three women. Even the common people were immediately afraid of this matter. I will also complain about a few women.
What's more, which of these sons of important court ministers in Chang'an has not relied on his father's prestige in the court to enjoy himself and do well? Who hasn’t relied on his father’s name to seek benefits for himself in Chang’an? But these are completely normal for today’s social system and social classes. Wasn’t it the same even in the previous life
But now that there is a conflict with the imperial concubine and the princess, even if it is a small matter, it is probably a big deal.
Although His Majesty has always been wise, he is also approachable and open-minded when dealing with his ministers and discussing politics, and he has the style of the late emperor.
But it is precisely because of this that your Majesty has inherited Emperor Taizong's protective temperament. He is even more protective than Emperor Taizong and the late emperor. Once you feel that one of your own has been bullied, no matter who you are, there will be no good. Fruit to eat.
So Su Gui was following Li Hong at the moment. Although she knew very well that there was no risk to her life in this incident, she probably wouldn't let it go easily.
His son is also known for being nosy. Relying on his status as the governor of Jingzhao and the love of his uncle Li Qiao, as well as his relationship with Su Weiwei, Cui Rong, and Du Shenyan, The sons of several people have become much more harmonious than others because of their friendship.
Now relying on her relationship with Li Qiao and others, she wanted to fight for Du Bing and others, but she didn't want to be kicked on the iron plate. At this moment, her heart was full of pain and helplessness. Su Gui didn't know what to do. How to describe myself is the journey from the back hall of the Yamen to the front hall.
As a few people gradually approached the huge wooden screen in the back hall, they heard the commotion at the Yamen in the front hall, and women's voices could be heard defending from time to time.
Su Gui's heart seemed to have plummeted, and she suddenly fell into the ice hole from the uneasiness. At this time, she really didn't know how much quarrels she wanted to argue with, a scoundrel like herself.
"Taiyi City killed dozens or even hundreds of people, and the hot air balloon a few days ago killed and injured dozens of people. You are also my subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and judging from the three ladies, you should all be well-read in poetry and well-informed. , a person who understands right and wrong, but why do you think that this matter is not something to be afraid of, and that it will not harm the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?"
"You three ladies, do you know that if such things are allowed to happen again and again, then not only the people of Chang'an will be resentful, but the court will also be arguing about this matter."
"Yes, what Brother Cui said is that the entire Chang'an City naturally knows that the master of Taiyi City is the master of Prince Pu's Mansion, but no matter what, since a human life has been lost, one should take responsibility instead of maintaining a secret all the time. Even though the mysterious owner of Prince Pu's Mansion is closely connected with the palace, His Majesty has also said that princes who break the law should be guilty of the same crime as the common people. Obviously, His Majesty will not serve the public good for personal gain. "But it's because there are too many people like the Three Ladies and there are too many publications like "Fang Jian Tian Xia". They only know how to flatter His Majesty, but they don't know that this is the root cause of harm to our country." Another person is Yue. The man in his twenties has a bruise on his right eye. He sheds tears due to pain in the blink of an eye while speaking, but even so, he speaks with impassioned sadness and indignation.
Just when several people in the front hall of the Yamen were talking about Taiyi City, Li Hong and Bai Chun behind the screen looked at each other involuntarily. Obviously, this matter has not passed yet, and it is still a dispute between the people of Chang'an or the scholars. Talk.
As for Wen Nuxia, Shangguan Wan'er, and Li Lingyue, they obviously had conflicts with several people because of this, so they probably went to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
Li Hong gently took Bai Chun's hand and told her to calm down and listen to the responses from Wen Nuxia and others before saying that she would not go out to help.
So the four of them stood behind the huge screen and heard Shangguan Wan'er's clear voice sounding out without any ripples: "There's no need to accuse Taiyi City of killing dozens or even hundreds of people, and hot air balloons killed and injured dozens of people. Did you witness this with your own eyes or hearsay? Did you really see so many people die in Taiyi City?"
"Taking human life lightly? It is true that Taiyi City exploded and the hot air balloon burned out of control. The publication "Fang Jian Tian Xia" did not conceal this incident from the beginning, but you keep saying that it was a waste of human life. Don't you think you have drawn such a conclusion? It seems that you are ignorant, are you stupid? Are the people who were killed and injured in the explosion in Taiyi City really forced and squeezed to death by Taiyi City as you ignorant people think? Falling from a high altitude, are you sure this is what the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall forced those people to do, rather than their dedication and sacrifice to seek the truth of certain things?" Li Lingyue rarely reasoned with others and spoke plausibly? said.
"What nonsense are you talking to these stupid pigs? Just call Di Renjie over and arrest these stupid people who are deceiving the public with their monstrous words, confusing the people of Chang'an, spreading rumors, and being exploited without knowing it, so as not to make them look like There are five people and six people, and they seem to be thinking about the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the simple people are led astray by the idiots with evil intentions. "Nvxia Wen is a heroic demeanor, not to mention that she herself was just like these idiots in front of her. Like pigs, people are being taken advantage of without knowing it.
Now seeing these people acting like they were being used without knowing it, and even speaking righteously, thinking that they represented justice and the people's support, Wen Nuxia felt as if she had seen her former self, and her heart was filled with While feeling some embarrassment about his past, he was also full of anger towards the ignorant people in front of him.
Du Xian, the eldest son of Luoyang Prime Minister Du Shenyan, heard Wen Wen mentioning Di Renjie as if he was referring to a servant of his family. He couldn't help but chuckled and confirmed: "This lady, the Di Renjie you just mentioned , but I, Lord Di Renjie, the Minister of Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, it's him, what's wrong?" Wen Wenwen still held her long sword in her hand and said matter-of-factly.
Whether it was Du Shenyan's two sons or the son of Dali Temple Shaoqing Cui Rong, from the moment they came in, they seemed to have forgotten that this was the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Who could stand in the yamen with sharp weapons and still... So arrogant
The important thing is that none of the people in the front hall of the Yamen dared to go to this lady and ask for the sword to be confiscated from her hand. They just let her hold the sword and gesture. He threatened to argue with several of them.
