Man Tanghong

Chapter 790 Xiao Guogong

In fact, not only Li Jing and Li Keshi, but also many people surnamed Li in the court are also related to the Li Tang royal family.

For example, Li Shishi, a Duzhi Langzhong of the imperial court, was from the Jiangjun house of the Li family;

Anyway, the Li family has a very large family line. If we really want to talk about it, from Liangzhou to Yongzhou to Bingzhou, there are Li family lines, and they are all related to the current Li Tang royal family.

If the Li Tang royal family recognizes these people and divides them up, the existing Li family's territory may not be enough.

Therefore, the Li Tang royal family now recognizes only Sifang, which is called Dingsi Sifang in history books.

Among the four families, only the one handed down by Li Hu can enjoy the real royal treatment.

The other houses and branches can only rely on their identities to have fun in the local area. When they really arrive in Chang'an City, no one will ignore them.

Of course, it's a different story for people like Li Jing and Li Keshi who got up by their own abilities.

All in all, it was because of the relationship between Li Jing and Li Keshi that Zhang Liang made his new wife right, and it was also because of this reason that Zhang Shenwei could no longer occupy the title of the eldest son.

However, he did not miss a share of the shade that should be enjoyed.

When Zhang Liang was made a Marquis of the State, he was forced out of the official position and possessed the status of a thousand-year-old official.

Today's New Year's Eve banquet, all the officials in Chang'an City were included in the banquet, so he also used his identity to get a place outside the Tai Chi Hall.

As for the inside of the Taiji Hall, let alone him, even if his father came, he would have no part.

Today, civil and military personnel in the Taiji Hall are per capita state princes, and a state prince is not qualified to enter.

The official order of Zheng in the mouth of the audience, named Zheng Shanyi, came from the Zheng family of Xingyang, who served as an official order under the Taichang Gate, and is one of the few officials of the Zheng family of Xingyang who remain in the court today.

The official position is not high, and he has no title, so he can only sit outside the hall with Zhang Shenwei.

Now these two people are pinching each other and fighting each other.

The profound meaning contained in this is intriguing.

Li Yuanji was sure that this must be planned by Li Yuan behind the scenes. If Li Yuan didn't know that there would be such a place tonight, he would take off his head and give Li Yuan a kick.

"You bastard, what's the point of being violent in front of the Tai Chi Hall?!"

After Li Yuan listened to the audience's report, he scolded furiously.

After the scolding was over, he asked Wang Gui, "Wang Gui, you are Doctor Yushi, come and tell me, how should we deal with this situation?"

It is the responsibility of the censor to maintain the order in front of the palace, to be precise, it is the responsibility of the censor in front of the palace.

However, the censor in front of the palace is also under the control of the censor, so it is not wrong for Li Yuan to directly ask Wang Gui, the head of the censor.

After hearing Li Yuan's question, Wang Gui bowed without hesitation and said, "Returning to the saint, according to the etiquette and law, he should be punished with thirty rods and one year's salary."

As soon as Wang Gui's words came out, many people gasped.

A one-year fine for Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi is neither painful nor itchy, and it is not worth paying attention to.

But Thirty Sticks is different.

The rod punishment in front of the hall is divided into light and heavy.

No matter how many hits are light, it is the same as no hit, and ten hits that are heavy can kill a person.

Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi are just two petty officials, and they don't enjoy the treatment of light sticks, and there is no one behind them who can make Li Yuan save face, so the thirty sticks must be heavy sticks.

This is to kill Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi.

At this moment, no matter who had a close relationship with Zhang Liang or those who had friendship with the Zheng family in Xingyang, they all spoke up to warn them.

"Saint, as far as I know, that Zhang Shenwei is still a boy under 15 years old, and he still has a lot of time to be loyal to my Tang Dynasty. If he is beaten with thirty sticks, he will probably die.

I don't know if the saint can forgive him this time because of his youth and ignorance? "

Qin Qiong was the first to stand up and intercede with Zhang Shenwei.

He and Zhang Liang have been colleagues for a long time, and have fought side by side. Now that Zhang Liang is not around, Zhang Liang's son is in trouble. As an uncle, it is impossible for him to watch.

This is Qin Qiong's kindness, even if he doesn't have a deep friendship with Zhang Liang, he is willing to stand up for Zhang Liang's son.

If Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were to come, they could stand there without saying a word.

Because although they had friendship with Zhang Liang, their friendship was not that deep, and they hadn't reached the point of entrusting their wives and sons. When Li Yuan was still angry, it was impossible for them to stand up for Zhang Shenwei.

With Qin Qiong taking the lead, the others followed suit, begging for Zheng Shanyi's favor.

Li Yuanji stood aside and watched silently from the beginning to the end. After watching for a long time, he discovered a very interesting thing.

Those who pleaded for Zhang Shenwei could count on one hand, and there were many people who pleaded for Zheng Shanyi.

What does this mean?
It shows that Zhang Liang not only has no foundation of a wealthy family, but also has no background, and is not good at making friends.

Otherwise, among the military officials who accounted for half of the palace, it is impossible for only a few people to intercede for his son.

"According to what you said, they can all be forgiven, so what should I do if the tone in my heart doesn't go away?"

Facing dozens of civil and military pleading for mercy, Li Yuan stared and asked.

For a moment, the civil and military men who begged for mercy fell silent.

Although they were willing to intercede for Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi, their friendship was not enough to allow them to risk Li Yuan's wrath to death.

When all the begging people were speechless by Li Yuan's questioning, Li Gang stood up and said a fair word, "Saint, why don't you let someone bring them up, first ask them why they fight and kick together, and understand clearly." After the reason, how about making a decision?"

This is tantamount to giving Li Yuan a step up, and also giving all those who beg for mercy a step up, lest they both stand firm and stalemate.

At this moment, all the begging people nodded their heads in response to Li Gang's words.

Li Yuan also walked down the steps, bluntly said that he was doing Li Gang face, if there is another time, he will definitely kill him, and he handed over the matter of interrogating Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi to Li Gang.

Li Gang immediately ordered someone to bring Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi in.

Then they began to interrogate them under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall.

Zhang Shenwei was very young and had a tender face, but facing a big man who was more noble than his father, he didn't have stage fright, instead he clearly explained the conflict between him and Zheng Shanyi.

Basically, he boasted to several other young men who were similar to him during the banquet, saying that when his younger brother was studying martial arts in Guan Nei Dao, he was valued by a famous person, saying that he had a talent for reading and wanted to be admitted into the house. Teach carefully.

After his father found out about this, he immediately sent someone to build an elementary school in his hometown in Xingyang, for the celebrity and his younger brother to study knowledge with great concentration, and instantly benefit the countryside.

Then Zheng Shanyi, who was sitting next to him, didn't know what was wrong, so he sarcastically said that their family is a mere imitation of Dong Shi, who wants to learn from others to build a family with knowledge, and wants to become a family, it is just a dream.

Zhang Shenwei, a young man with full of vigor, was bragging to his friends, pretending to be aggressive in front of them, how could he listen to this, and immediately punched Zheng Shanyi.

Although Zheng Shanyi is a scholar, he also has kung fu in his hands, and then the two began to wrestle.

And the more they fought, the more they went too far, from the fists and kicks at the beginning to the "weapons".

The cups and plates on their respective desks, as well as the cups and plates on the desks of those around them, all became weapons in their hands.

Then the commotion became louder, and it spread to the hall, and was brought in by people.

The process is such a process, quite bloody, but also quite speechless.

However, Zhang Shenwei explained clearly that although Zheng Shanyi was trying his best to turn black and white, he didn't dare to go too far, and he didn't dare to deny that he made fun of Zhang Shenwei.

After all, there were quite a few people present at the time, and many of them witnessed the process of their friendship. He could justify himself, or turn black and white a little bit, but if he said too much, he would call himself a good person .

Li Yuan turned around and sent someone to ask, if what he said was not right, then he was guilty of deceiving the emperor.

Fighting in front of the palace, he was caught by Li Yuan. Given his family background, it would be difficult for him to die, at most he would suffer a little bit of flesh and blood. Then the Heavenly King Lao Tzu will not be able to keep him when he comes down.

"So, it was you who showed up first, which caused the brawl?"

After Li Gang understood what happened, he stared at Zheng Shanyi expressionlessly and asked.

Zheng Shanyi hurriedly said: "The lower official was talking too quickly, and he didn't think of hurting others with bad words. Who knew that Zhang Shenwei was unreasonable, so he came over with one punch..."

Li Gang raised his hand, signaling to Zheng Shanyi not to say more, he already understood the details, then looked at Zhang Shenwei and asked, "You punched him just because he made a mockery of you?"

Zhang Shen slightly raised his neck, and said with a bloody face: "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated! Although my father came from a poor background, he also has an upward heart.

Because his father was in the army, he made irresponsible remarks on his father's good deed of opening an elementary school in the village.

As a son of man, how can you tolerate him? ! "

As soon as these words came out, Li Gang hadn't said anything yet. The other military officials, especially those of ordinary background, were instantly blown up.

"What, you, Mr. Zheng, are doing things like setting up elementary school and benefiting the village, but we, the fighters from the army, can't do it?"

"You Zhengs are too domineering, aren't you?!"

"Then we will set up elementary schools in the village in the future to benefit the tribesmen who are still in their original place. Do I have to ask what you mean?"

"..."

Zhang Shenwei's words were very lethal, making Zheng Shanguo the target of criticism in an instant.

In the Tang Dynasty, the status of warriors was higher than that of literati, so once there was a conflict between civil and military, it was the literati who gave way to the warriors.

Nowadays, some people ridicule warriors because of their status as warriors. Isn't that a slap in the face of all warriors?

Can the warrior bear it? !

"No, that's not the case, minister, that's not what I mean by being an official..."

Zheng Shanguo was completely panicked by the accusations, and began to explain for himself.

"You don't mean what do you mean? Do you want to say that when we opened the elementary school, we should not only ask you what you mean, but also ask you Zheng to nod?
Your Majesty Zheng is so majestic! "

Someone didn't give Zheng Shanguo a chance to explain, and started to start a fight, and started messing around.

Looking carefully, it turned out to be Xiao Guogong Zhang Pinggao, who did not leave much in history, but was one of Li Yuan's confidantes, and one of the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou who was canonized by Li Yuan.

Although this person seldom shows up in the court, his weight in the court is not low, and his weight in Li Yuan's heart is not low.

When Li Yuan rebelled, he was the first military leader appointed.

The role he played under Li Yuan is the role Yu Wenbao is playing now.
