Chapter 1056: Killing relatives for justice
After the card game was over, the two returned to their room. Gao Ge did not lie down immediately, but stood in front of the bed and looked at Li Zhengzhen with a serious face.

"Ge'er, I'm scared of you like this."

Gao Ge hissed and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wu Xie, you said that we have been fighting for so many years and we have never shown mercy in front of outsiders. Do you feel wronged?"

Li Zhengzhen was stunned for a moment.

His mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing the purpose of his wife's words.

"I'm asking you something, tell me!"

"No, my wife said that men need to be trained. You are just doing this so that you can train me anytime and anywhere. This is a manifestation of your love for me. How can I feel wronged? Not at all."

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Gao Ge asked Li Zhengzhen to stand up and stand where she was standing just now, and then he sat down himself: "Just now when we were playing cards, I twisted your ear. What were you thinking at that time?"

"I, what can I think?"

"Just tell me what you thought at that time."

Li Zhengzhen's eyes began to roll again.

Analyze what Gao Ge meant by this, but this time Gao Ge stopped him: "Don't move your eyes. Just say what you were thinking at the time."

"Really let me say it?"

"That's not good. Do you think I'm setting a trap for you now? If you don't answer well, you will be beaten with a stick?"

That's exactly what he thought.

Li Zhengzhen almost nodded!

When Gao Ge said this, Li Zhengzhen rubbed his ear, which no longer hurt, and said, "At that time, I thought that you had a bad temper and would hit me if I said something wrong."

After hearing this, Gao Ge couldn't hold back his shame and raised his hand reflexively.

Li Zhengzhen also dodged backwards reflexively.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ge suddenly understood what Su Yixin said to her.

Getting used to it doesn’t mean I like it.

She felt that beating was a sign of love and scolding was a sign of care, but her behavior was also what later generations called domestic violence.

And yet she has been complacent for all these years.

She thought she had her son-in-law under her control, but she didn't expect that if Li Zheng didn't really love her, he would have rebelled long ago.

"come over."

"what?"

Li Zhengzhen put down his hand that was covering his face and asked, "You don't want to fight anymore?"

"You're not wrong, why should I hit you? Come here, let me take a look at your ears."

Li Zhengzhen chuckled twice and took a big step forward, sitting next to Gao Ge. He raised his face and turned his twisted ear towards Gao Ge: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Gao Ge: "I won't hit you anymore."

Gao Ge suddenly said this, but Li Zhengzhen was at a loss: "Ge'er, did something happen? Did someone say something about you? Were you beaten? Or are you terminally ill and dying?"

Gao Sing: "..."

She shouldn't be sentimental!
He grabbed Li Zhengzhen's ears again and said, "Li Zhengzhen, are you hoping for my death?"

"Really not, I just said it casually. I'm worried about you. You just said you wouldn't hit me, why did you hit me again?"

"Yes, I just said I won't hit you. But there is one more thing I didn't say. I won't hit you in front of outsiders. If you don't listen, I will hit you still when we go back to the house!" Although she said that, she didn't actually hit you hard.

At least it wasn't as heavy-handed as before.

Li Zhengzhen chuckled twice and used his body to push Gao Ge: "Ge'er, is this the kind of fun you read about in the book? I like it. It's okay for you to beat me in the room, but it's best if you take off all your clothes."

After saying that, he stripped himself naked in two quick movements.

Gao Ge said he really couldn't bear to watch it.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the sacrifice ceremony at the Imperial Ancestral Temple had just ended. Gu Qingjue had not even had a sip of hot tea when he returned to the palace when the housekeeper hurriedly came to report: "Master Xiao Han has come in mourning clothes to announce the death."

The couple looked at each other and it seemed that Han Shumi didn't make it.

Gu Qingjue: “Got it.”

He immediately went to the door, Han Zhongyan bowed, and Gu Qingjue helped him up, saying, "My condolences."

Han Zhongyan came to report the death because the Han family and the Gu family are in-laws. There are many other in-laws and relatives in the capital who need to be informed.

When Zhao Rui received the news of Han Qi's death, he personally issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Prince of Wei County on him, posthumously awarded him the title of "Shangshu Ling", and the posthumous title of "Zhongxian", and allowed him to be enshrined in the Taimiao.

What an honor!

After Han Qi's death, the position became vacant, and Zhao Rui finally decided to let Leng Zhongyan fill the vacancy, while the original position was taken by Lu Huiqing.

However, as soon as this decision was proposed in the court, it was opposed by many people.

They felt that Leng Zhongyan had not made much contribution in all his years as an official in the court and his qualifications were mediocre, so it would be more appropriate for Lu Huiqing to hold this position.

"Prince Jin, what do you think?"

Before Gu Qingjue could speak, the censor Cai Chengxi said, "The friendship between Prince Jin and Lord Leng is well known to the whole court. I think Prince Jin should avoid suspicion in this matter."

Lu Huiqing was secretly happy.

This time he has made sufficient preparations and has been in private contact with these officials for a long time. This time he will definitely be able to suppress Leng Zhongyan.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Anshi suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, I think Lord Leng is more suitable."

Zhao Rui: "Tell me about it."

"Lord Leng is the son of Leng Jiqing, but he did not rely on his father. Instead, he took the imperial examinations normally and worked his way up from an eighth-rank county magistrate to where he is today. Those who say he has no achievements can look at his resume and see how the people lived during his years in the prefectures and counties. After returning to the capital, he teamed up with the King of Jin to capture the Liao's most hidden spy at the lowest cost. Even with such achievements, you have said that he is just mediocre and has not made much contribution? What a joke!"

Lu Huiqing's rising pride was suppressed by Wang Anshi's lengthy speech.

"Speaking of the case of the Liao spies, I also have something to say."

It was Han Dun who spoke.

Han Dun not only had a very good relationship with Wang Anshi, but also had a good relationship with Lu Huiqing.

"At the beginning, the incident involving King Xuan caused a lot of uproar. His family was banished from the capital, and dozens of court officials were implicated, including Lord Leng."

Han Dun said: "To be precise, it should be related to Lord Leng's wife. Your wife was sentenced to prison for helping Xiao Yingsu and is now in prison. In this case, how can she serve as the Privy Councilor?"

Leng Zhongyan stood there quietly without arguing.

Wang Anshi: "Since Lord Han mentioned this matter, let's talk about it. Xiao Yingsu committed suicide. At that time, no one knew about Yang's relationship with him. It was Lord Leng who put Yang in jail for the sake of justice."

"Sacrificing one's wife in exchange for a better future, is this something worth celebrating?"

Wang Anshi turned into a retort: ​​"Lu Shaojian, according to you, it is the family members who did something wrong and we should cover it up?"

Lu Shaojian was not someone else but Lu Huiqing's younger brother Lu Shengqing. He was able to become an official because of Wang Anshi's recommendation.

But later, as Wang Anshi's relationship with Lu Huiqing became increasingly worse, he began to dislike Lu Shengqing.

Lu Shengqing was speechless after Wang Anshi's question.
