Chapter 1230: Li Shimin's Compensation
Chapter 1230 Li Shimin's Compensation
Just after the heavy rain, the light rain is still pattering.
In Duke Liang's mansion, the atmosphere was dignified.
When the emperor came to the palace, more than ten guards from Qianniu escorted them, but they were all the servants who were close to Princess Gaoyang, the second daughter-in-law of the Fang family. The decorations and clothes that violated the rules and regulations were also taken away, and those with disheveled hair were only wearing middle clothes.
"Kneel down!"
Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling, who was dressed in civilian clothes, "I have been unwell for the past few years, but I have ignored Gao Yang, a rebellious girl. I don't know that she is such a bastard. I have done it before. Today, let's put those who failed to do their duty to remonstrate and restrain them." It’s good that Gao Yang’s lowly maidservants are all killed first, I heard that these lowly maidservants used Gao Yang’s name to dare to be rude to Fang Gong and your family, they are truly worthy of death.”
In front of Fang Xuanling and the sons and daughters-in-law of the Fang family, Li Shimin ordered to kill these princesses, servants and servants with sticks in public.
The Jinwu Guard who got the will came forward and began to walk.
The emperor was furious, and Fang Xuanling was so frightened that his face was very pale, and he didn't dare to persuade him too much.
The prime minister who had assisted the government for nearly twenty years in the Zhenguan Dynasty, with the support of his old wife Lu Shi, his legs and feet were trembling slightly. Fang Xuanling only knew that the emperor came because of his second daughter-in-law, Princess Gaoyang, but he didn't know exactly why he was so furious.
The Fang family didn't like the daughter-in-law of the princess who was so golden.
Fang Xuanling is the father-in-law and the prime minister who has assisted the government for many years. She has a high position and authority. Her mother-in-law Lu is the daughter of a famous family with one of the five surnames and Qiwang. She has been in charge of the family for many years and is also a person with a temper. The beauty, Mrs. Lu had to resist the order, and in the end she would rather drink the poisoned wine than obey her order, and finally left an allusion of jealousy.
This is a strong-tempered housewife.
As for the four brothers Fang Yiai, the eldest married the daughter of the Jingzhao Du family. around.
Fang Yiai is not here at this time, only his two concubines are there, and these two concubines were originally Gao Yang's personal palace servants, and later because Fang Yiai was satisfied with Fang Yiai and Bianji Wangfeng, they gave them to her husband.
When Li Shimin saw these two, he gritted his teeth and waved.
"These two lowly servant girls are also killed!"
Fang Xuanling trembled and said slightly, "Your Majesty, although they are also close to the princess, they are already in the dog's house, and they are all pregnant. I beg the saint to spare them once."
Li Shimin listened and waved his hands when he saw that the stomachs of the two were growing slightly.
The guards over there were still walking with sticks, and they had killed several people with sticks one after another, screaming again and again, accompanied by terrified begging for mercy.
Fang Xuanling is getting old, especially after the purge of the Wei royal party in the first two years of the court, Liu Ji, Zhang Liang, Du Chuke, Hou Junji and many other ministers were killed, of which Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were all He was an old man in Qin Wang's mansion, and he did not escape the purge and massacre.
Although Fang Xuanling has completely retired in the past few years, she is always trembling.
The old buddy of Du Ruhui's family, but his vitality has been completely injured.
Could it be that the Fang family is also doomed today?
The wife of the third son, Yi Ze, was hinted by her mother-in-law Lu's eyes, and hurried up to cry and beg for mercy.
She is the daughter of Li Shimin's sixth younger brother Jing Wang Yuanjing, and also the royal county head Yuye.
"I don't know what happened. I offended the saint, and I ask the saint to take care of the dragon's body."
Looking at his nephew Li, who was also pregnant and her stomach was up, Li Shimin couldn't bear it.
"Hurry up and call the son-in-law back!"
He waved his hands at the slaves who begged for mercy in disgust, "Drag these lowly servants out and kill them with sticks outside the door, so as not to scare the pregnant women in Fang Gong's mansion."
The fourth wife, Wujun Shen, was trembling with the two eldest daughters-in-law, Princess Fang, Princess Li Yuanjia of the King of Han, and the second wife, wife of Laizhou governor Zheng Yuankai.
Today was originally Lu’s birthday, so everyone came back to celebrate, who knew that such a **** incident would happen.
The third brother and the fourth brother were still young, and their faces were pale with fright, and they dared not say a word.
Li Shimin took Fang Xuanling's hand and went back to the hall to sit down.
After a cup of tea, Fang Yiai was urgently found.
When he entered the mansion, he was so frightened that he saw the dead bodies all over the ground.
As soon as he came in, he knelt down in front of the emperor.
Li Shimin looked at him, angry at him, but felt guilty at him. He had seen the certificate of tribute presented by the Zhen Fusi, Gao Yang acted, almost the same as Danyang back then.
Back then, Xue Wanche filed a lawsuit against him, saying that he personally broke Danyang's affair with Qin Lang in the bathroom in the backyard of the mansion. In order to prevent the guests from finding out, he had to stand outside the door and guard them for a long time. All the fierce generals wept.
Fang Yi loved the prime minister's son-in-law and married the emperor's princess, but he also encountered this kind of thing, and even dared not speak out.
"As your husband, where is Fu Gang?"
Li Shimin sighed.
Then compensate Fang Yiai, confer him the title of regular attendant of Taifu Qing Sanqi, and make this son-in-law a third-rank official.
"I will bestow upon you the title of Duke of Gaoyang County again!"
Li Shimin gave his son-in-law a small knife on his body, "Take it, discipline your wife well. If she is disobedient, you can teach her a lesson. If she dares to do that again, you can kill the traitor first. If not You can't control it, you can tell me, if you really hate it, I can allow you to reconcile!"
Before he left, Li Shimin conferred the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, the official rank of the third rank, to the boss of the Fang family who was not at home.
When leaving, Li Shimin held the old buddy's hand and sighed again and again.
"I'm sorry for you."
Fang Xuanling said tremblingly, "It's the minister and the Fang family who have failed His Majesty, Erlang is too indisputable, and his acquaintance is not good..."
"Don't bring up those old things again. Erlang did do some wrong things, but my daughter is even more sorry for him. I hope they can change their ways in the future."
After the emperor left.
Fear was still in the air in Fangfu, accompanied by the **** smell of more than a dozen servants who were killed with sticks.
Long time.
Fang Xuanling returned to the study with a long sigh, his whole body relaxed, his underwear was almost drenched with sweat. Just now, Fang Xuanling really thought that the Fang family was going to be overthrown, and she has been trembling for the past few years, walking on thin ice.
Unexpectedly, but now it has passed the risk.
Speaking of which, I still have to thank that dissolute daughter-in-law princess.
Fang Xuanling had a complicated heart.
Yiai has a close relationship with the King of Wei. Du He and Chai Lingwu were both killed because of this. Fang Yiai was not liquidated. Fang Xuanling knew that it was because the emperor favored Gao Yang, and also because of his old face, but because of him However, the Fang family was still in danger. If the emperor wanted to touch his last love, he would definitely have to uproot the entire Fang family.
It doesn't mean it's safe if you don't touch your lost love.
But today is safe.
The eldest son was added as a third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor, and his last love was also promoted to the Taifu Qing of Jiuqing.
Let him, Fang Xuanling, also see that his two sons are dignified, and both get purple-robed goldfish.
Lu came in.
The couple was silent for a long time.
"I just asked Erlang to ask him alone, and I asked him a lot. That lowly servant girl really disgraced our Fang family. Do you know what she did? She dared to have an affair with a monk, and dared to let my son Standing guard for them, not to mention the rest, stealing the emperor's golden pillow to give to that bald donkey, and privately giving a hundred million dollars to that bald donkey..."
"Okay, stop talking." Fang Xuanling said a little tiredly, her voice extremely hoarse.
What his wife said, he is not surprised at all now.
After all, the emperor's furious look just now made him understand how serious the matter was.
"Actually, we still have to thank her. If it weren't for the things she did that were too outrageous, the sage felt guilty and owed the Fang family, so he would give us compensation."
Lu Shi dissatisfied, "The Fang family can't keep that kind of self-deprecating bitch."
"I said it, don't say it anymore." Fang Xuanling, who has always been doting on his wife, was rarely angry with his wife. "Do you know how I got here in the past few years? Do you know how dangerous our Fang family is? Every day Hovering on the brink of oblivion!"
"Ah Lang, you are worrying too much."
"No, look at what happened to the Du family. Their family had two prime ministers, uncle and nephew, a minister of the Ministry of Industry, a son-in-law who is also a prime minister, and an emperor's son-in-law. The result? The Du family has now been trampled into the dust. It's gone, and it won't be possible to stand up again in twenty or thirty years."
There are also Hou Junji and Zhang Liang, two potential confidantes.
For another example, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting were all former prime ministers, but they were all implicated in the case of King Wei. How did they end up?
Not to mention that unlucky Liu Ji and Cui Renshi.
This storm involved too much, and the emperor hit extremely hard. Not only did he cleanse several prime ministers and important ministers, but he also ruthlessly chopped down the top aristocrats with five surnames, seven surnames, seven surnames, Guanlong and six surnames who had raised their heads in recent years. A few knives.
Fang's family didn't move before, but it was never really safe. The emperor was still hesitating until now.
Fang Xuanling sighed, "Now that I think about it, only Qin Zhongwu and Qin Huailiang understand the emperor better. As soon as they gained power, they began to think about danger and retreat, and stayed away from these whirlpools in the court early."
"Ma'am, I think Erlang's temperament is frivolous but cowardly, and he will have troubles sooner or later if he stays in the capital. Why don't we ask for an order to give him a share of our family's secular fiefdom in Qinghai, and let him go to the fiefdom to manage it. Not allowed to stay in Beijing. Or, like Qin Lang, go to Nanyang to find a barbaric land, develop and manage it as an outside world fief, and let Erlang stay. If it is not possible, let Erlang go directly to Qin Lang's Luzon, buy a piece of land, and let Erlang He stays there, please ask Qin Lang to take care of Dian Erlang for us by looking at some old feelings from the past."
Lu Shi is somewhat protective.
"It's the golden branches and jade leaves that are wrong. Why should Erlang be exiled? Why? Erlang finally got a third-rank official position. How can he give up?"
Seeing his wife's reluctance, Fang Xuanling could only sigh.
"It's hard to get through this time, but if something happens again, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. I'm old too, and I can't protect Erlang for a few years even if I want to."
But Lu Shi just refused to let go, "If you want to cause trouble, it's that lowly maid."
Fang Xuanling let out a long sigh, closed his mouth, and slowly closed his eyes, and leaned back on the chair.
