Man Tanghong

There is a saying that misfortune is not as good as wives and children, and crimes are not as good as parents.

Everyone is honorable, and they are ministers in the same palace and the people in the same dynasty. "Fighting skills" should be "fighting skills", even if you fight people's brains into dog brains, there is no problem.

But attacking wives and children's parents is a taboo.

To use the method of assassination is to commit a taboo among taboos.

You know, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Jin Dynasty, the way of assassination has been banned repeatedly.

At its peak, several emperors were assassinated.

It is precisely because of this that when assassination prevails, everyone is in danger, and those who follow the way of assassination find in the end that they not only failed to gain benefits through assassination, but lost a lot of strength because of the assassination. The opponent suffered a lose-lose situation, allowing a third party to take advantage.

Under such circumstances, everyone had to tacitly form an unwritten rule, that is, when fighting internally, try not to use assassination methods as much as possible, and try not to touch other people's wives, children, and parents.

This kind of rules appeared at the end of the Jin Dynasty, and was completely formed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

It is precisely because of this that the only people who still believe in the way of assassination are some rangers and people who jump over the wall in a hurry.

The Zheng family, and the aristocratic families behind the Zheng family, are all truly noble people.

They have nothing to do with rangers and people who jump over the wall in a hurry. They use the assassination method, which is breaking the rules and crossing the line.

How can a group of martial arts who have little relationship with aristocratic families and no big background tolerate it?

Not only Wu Xun, but even the spokespersons of the aristocratic family in the court hall, after learning about this incident, all shut their mouths and refused to say a word for the aristocratic family.

Some rules cannot be broken, and some lines cannot be crossed.

If it breaks, if it goes too far, you have to pay the price.

In this case, no one on my own dares to help you.

"Zheng is so brave. He dared to use force on the heads of military officials. I really admire their courage."

On the Hall of Tai Chi.

Li Shentong took advantage of the opportunity to discuss the Daizhou military situation, and said to Wang Gui with a face full of sarcasm.

Wang Gui's face suddenly turned into a liver color, and he didn't say a word when he was depressed.

Mrs. Zheng is really brave. She actually broke ground on Tai Sui's head and used a big sword in front of Guan Gong's gate.

Military officials were originally wielding knives and guns, and they still held the most violent power in the world.

Zheng's showing his sword to the military officials, isn't it just playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong's gate? !

Pei Ju, who had always been calm, said with a solemn expression at this moment: "This is something that Mrs. Zheng did wrong. I have already sent people from the clan to Mr. Zheng to hold her accountable. I believe Mrs. Zheng will give Zhang Liang an explanation soon."

If Zhang Liang was not backed by Li Deliang's uncle and nephew, Zhang Liang's affairs would not have become known to the government and the public.

Then Pei Ju would not care about this matter at all, let alone send someone to Zheng's to ask for an explanation for Zhang Liang.

After all, a prince of a country seems to have a high status, but it is not enough to make a wealthy family bow his head.

However, Zhang Liang was backed by two county kings, and everyone knew about Zhang Liang.

If Zheng did not give Zhang Liang an explanation, not only would he have trouble with Zhang Liang, but he would also have trouble with Li Deliang's uncle and nephew, and the military officials who had no background in the Manchu dynasty.

More importantly, some military officials with backgrounds will not see it.

After all, Mrs. Zheng broke the rules and crossed the line.

This kind of atmosphere cannot be encouraged, otherwise, when everyone "fights" with others in the court in the future, their wives, children, and parents may be in danger.

So even if this matter has nothing to do with him, the military officials will not remain indifferent.

Some civil servants with less prominent family backgrounds would silently support the military ministers to teach the Zheng family a lesson, so that the Zheng family could remember the lesson.

"Whether Mrs. Zheng gives an explanation or not is no longer important..."

Facing Pei Ju's words, Li Shentong gloated and replied.

Pei Ju frowned for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Li Shentong said with a smile: "It means that Zhang Liang's people may have arrived in Xingyang at this moment, and the heads of those younger generations of the Zheng family may be moving soon."

Pei Ju's face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "The Zheng family has already made a bad start. How can Zhang Liang cure evil with evil? If this continues, the assassination style in the Wei and Jin Dynasties will reappear. If you are in danger, what good is it for the country?"

Li Shentong couldn't understand Pei Ju's face, so he couldn't help but sneered: "Could it be Zhang Liang who used the killer first to kill parents, wives and children? It was obviously the fault of Mrs. Zheng, why did you say it was Zhang Liang?" Is it not?

Could it be that Zheng can do the first grade of junior high school, but Zhang Liang can't do the fifteenth grade?

Isn't Mrs. Zheng too domineering? "

Although Li Shentong was talking about the overbearing Zheng family, he was actually satirizing the aristocratic family's overbearing.

When Pei Ju heard this, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute.

Because he couldn't admit that the aristocratic family was domineering.

In particular, one cannot admit that the aristocratic family is domineering in front of Li Shi.

The Li family is now a royal family. If your aristocratic family shows your dominance in front of the Li family, how can the Li family tolerate you?
In this world, there are not many wealthy families with deeper background than the Li family, but who dares to stand in front of the stage and say that he is better than the Li family, stronger than the Li family?
The few guys who ranked the "Clan History" in history ranked the Li family behind several wealthy families. Do they really think that the Li family is inferior to others?

Those aristocratic families really dare to admit that they are stronger than Li Shi?

It's just that those guys got the pulse of Li Shimin, knowing that Li Shimin was jealous and dissatisfied with the wealthy family, so they took the opportunity to give Li Shimin an excuse to weaken the wealthy family.

Its fundamental purpose is to get promoted and make a fortune, not to tell Li Shimin that those aristocratic families are more powerful than the Li family and stronger than the Li family.

Even if the family history of the Li family is not as magnificent as other aristocratic families, the background is not as deep as other aristocratic families. The Li family is also the sky of the Tang Dynasty, and the family business of the Li family is also the first in the Tang Dynasty. No other wealthy family can compare.

It is also impossible for other aristocratic and wealthy families to rush to the front without any hesitation when arranging the "Clan Chronicles" and press Li's head.

Therefore, the "Clan History" ranked in history has a certain political purpose, rather than really ranking the clans.

If it is really about ranking clans, the ranking method of "Hundred Surnames" is the real ranking method.

Therefore, as a member of a wealthy family, Pei Ju can feel in his heart that there are some wealthy families that are stronger than the Li family, but he will never say it out, let alone admit other wealthy families in front of Li's people. people are domineering.

"The Zheng family is not domineering. It's too early to say. The matter of assassinating Zhang Liang's heir has not been thoroughly investigated yet. This matter may not be done by the Zheng family, and it may be someone else who blamed the Zheng family.

Therefore, it is really inappropriate for Zhang Liang to act rashly and take revenge privately. "

After Pei Ju's defeat, Xiao Yu excused Zheng Shi with burning words.

Li Shentong glanced at Xiao Yu, and said sarcastically again: "Is it important if it was Zheng's doing? The man was assassinated on Zheng's land, and if it wasn't Zheng, he couldn't be separated from Zheng."

This is a bit unreasonable.

But Xiao Yu did not refute.

Pei Ju, Wang Gui and the others didn't think there was anything wrong.

Because the aristocratic and wealthy families of this era have great control over the local area, they can clearly understand any small things that happen in the local area.

Therefore, it is completely unreasonable to say that Mrs. Zheng did not know about the assassination of Zhang Liang's son in Xingyang.

Even if it is found out in the future, it really has nothing to do with the Zheng family, and the Zheng family does not know about it, so the Zheng family is also jointly and severally responsible, because it happened in Zheng's land.

"I still feel that Zhang Liang's behavior is a bit reckless, and I still have to wait until the investigation is clear."

Xiao Yu insisted on his own opinion.

Pei Ju followed suit and said: "This trend cannot last, otherwise there will be conflicts among the nobles in the future, everyone will revenge each other in private, do not hesitate to assassinate, use all kinds of force, then the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos?

At that time, everyone will be in danger and revenge will become common. How can Datang develop and grow? "

Pei Ju's words made some sense, but he was still a bit biased towards what Zheng was talking about.

Because his fundamental purpose is to excuse Zheng Shi and prevent Zhang Liang from using violence against Zheng Shi.

However, even if he had selfish intentions, his words still convinced Li Gang. Li Gang nodded, clasped his hands, and said to the throne: "Brother Pei is right, this wind really cannot last, please send someone to Zhang Liang's mansion An order was issued to prohibit Zhang Liang from retaliating in private.

As for the assassination of Zhang Liang's heir, since Brother Pei sent someone to the Zheng family to explain.

Then Mrs. Zheng will definitely give an explanation. "

The old god Li Yuanji was sitting on the throne, listening to Pei Ju, Li Shentong and others bickering, and after hearing Li Gang's words, he said calmly: "I prevented Zhang Liang from taking revenge, but I didn't punish Mrs. Zheng in any way.

From then on, people from other big families will follow Zheng's example, so don't I have to do the same.

Isn't that unfair to Zhang Liang and other military officials? "

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This matter is no longer a matter of fairness or unfairness, it is for the stability of the country."

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I know that Mr. Li has a public heart, but I can restrain the military officials, but I can't restrain the big family. If I make Zhang Liang give up revenge, it is tantamount to targeting the big family.

In the future, if the big family members have conflicts with the military officials, if I follow Zheng's example, I will not be able to restrain them, and I have to let the military officials under my command calm down.

If things go on like this, which military official is still willing to follow me? "

Li Gang was speechless when asked this question.

It was the Zheng family's fault, and the head of the Zheng family was not in the court. The court had no way to order him to give Zhang Liang an explanation, and had to pass the message through people from other wealthy families.

The imperial court has no restraint or punishment on the Zheng family.

In this case, wronging one's own people and benefiting the Zheng family, wouldn't the court help the Zheng family to bear the price?
If things go on like this, the monarch and his ministers will be separated from their virtues, so how should the people of the Li family deal with themselves?

So in this kind of matter, it is impossible for Li to wrong his own people to eliminate the disaster.
