Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 372 The So-Called Two-phase Confirmation
When the small yellow gate in the palace came to pass on the holy edict, Xue Lang was deserting in the office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, silently drawing up the dowry list in his heart.Hearing the summons, he straightened his official robes and followed Xiaohuangmen into the palace.

"Sage, Xue Lang has arrived."

"Let him in."

Xue Lang went in, saluting meticulously: "Minister Xue Lang pays homage to the saint."

The usual smile disappeared from the saint's face, but he didn't seem angry, he just kept a straight face: "Pingshen. Do you know why I called you into the palace?"

He didn't even give him a seat.

Xue Lang replied calmly: "Back to the saint, I don't know."

The sage froze for a moment, his originally calm expression fluctuated slightly, staring at Xue Lang and said with a sarcasm: "Xue Aiqing is really busy with people and affairs, but it happened yesterday, so you forgot about it today?"

Xue Lang still maintained a serious expression, looked up at the sage, cupped his hands and said: "I don't know what the sage is talking about, I am stupid, so I ask the sage to explain it clearly."

The expression was very serious, and the sage felt a bit of a toothache, but looking at Xue Lang's expression, he really didn't know why he was unhappy. The sage was probably a little speechless, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I heard yesterday that King Qin's subordinates were fighting for power. Bullying Concubine De’s father, Yin Ashu, you happened to be passing by, and you didn’t ask what was right or wrong, and you sent guards to help King Qin’s subordinates, and you beat up the Yin family’s children?”

Knowing that the sage dotes on Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu, but he didn't expect to dote on them so much. This obviously makes no sense, and the sage actually believed it! ?
Xue Lang felt that the three views and the lower limit had been refreshed again. He turned his face to the saint in a daze, and asked uncertainly: "Dare to ask the saint, what you said is definitely the same thing as my experience yesterday?"

The sage thought he said that, no matter right or wrong, as a courtier, Xue Lang should first admit his mistake and plead guilty, but in the end, this kid didn't play the cards according to the rules!However, Xue Lang's attitude of not feeling guilty at all, and not rushing to argue, made him a little doubtful, could it be... The saint paused for a while, but he was not angry anymore, and looked at Xue Lang with an unpredictable expression. Lang said calmly, "What was your experience yesterday? Tell me about it."

"Here!"

Xue Lang immediately recounted what happened yesterday, and after finishing speaking, he said: "...The situation is like this. If the saint doesn't believe it, he can ask someone to investigate. I am willing to guarantee with the head of the item that what I said is true. In fact, the sage can punish the crime of deceiving the emperor."

The saint nodded, looking thoughtful.

Xue Lang said again: "Besides, there are a few things I can't understand about what the sage said just now. First, the sage said that it was the servants of the Qin Palace who bullied people! After I asked the guards to save people yesterday, I asked the other party's name and name. It's called Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui was alone that day, without even a servant, and there were at least six or seven servants in the Yin Mansion. What position Du Ruhui holds in the Prince Qin's mansion, the sage must have checked it out. Let the sage imagine How can Du Ruhui, a civil servant who is not a fierce general like General Yuchi, bully six or seven family children by himself?"

The sage's eyes flickered, and he replied: "It is said that Du Ruhui was so insolent that when he passed by, he even scolded Yin Ashu. Yin Ashu couldn't bear the humiliation, so the family boy beat him up!"

This statement is good!
Xue Lang expressed his admiration and said frankly: "However, what I saw was that Du Ruhui was riding home on horseback. He passed by Yin Yuanwai's house, and those houseboys went up without a word. He dragged the man off the horse before, and directly punched and kicked. Yin Yuanwai shouted at that time, who are you? Why didn't you get off the horse when you passed by the gate of my house. "

The last sentence was completely imitating Yin Ashu's tone.Xue Lang sighed: "I am a naturalized person from a foreign land, and I am not proficient in the etiquette and laws of my Tang Dynasty. I was surprised when I heard it. Apart from dismounting from the horse bridge, I don't know where there is a place where I need to dismount and walk to show respect? I heard that the sage once issued an edict saying that when passing through Yin's mansion, you are not allowed to ride a horse or ride in a cart! I thought that a soldier could be killed but not humiliated, but seeing that Du Ruhui was going to be humiliated by the family boy, I sent guards to save people."

The saint glanced at Xue Lang, and said: "Du Ruhui's humiliation of Yin Ashu happened many days ago, not yesterday. You didn't understand the inside story, and saved people rashly... In my opinion, you are also at fault!"

Xue Lang suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.The matter of Yin Ashu beating Du Ruhui was also recorded in the history books.When watching it, Xue Lang was puzzled——

Yin Ashu took his family boy and beat Du Ruhui, wounding Du Ruhui, and even dared to ask Concubine Yin De to sue.No matter how much Li Yuan loves Concubine Yin De, he won't believe such logically unreasonable things!When Concubine Ganqing Yin De filed a complaint, she patched up all the loopholes!
And at this moment, Xue Lang also understood that when Concubine Yin De filed the complaint, she made a trick and did not deliberately target him. The real target was King Qin, and Xue Lang, who happened to be involved in this matter, was misunderstood by Concubine Yin De up.

What to say?

Yin Defei is really good at making these small and insidious methods, and Yin Defei is also a shrewd person.She knows that the saint still has trust in Xue Lang, and she also knows that Xue Lang has always had a "clear public and private, calm and down-to-earth" image. She understands that if Xue Lang is too involved in this matter, some things will not be smooth. up.

Therefore, when Concubine Yin De sued, she should have deliberately reduced Xue Lang's existence and role, and focused on King Qin.You don't need to offend Xue Lang too much, but you can also focus on King Qin.After all, compared to Xue Lang, King Qin was the most important target of Concubine Yin De.Xue Lang said that he really underestimated Concubine Yin De in the past with such clear decisions and means, people are not vases.

Xue Lang endured it, and said sincerely: "Saint, I suggest that both parties involved in this matter should be called for questioning, and the truth will surely come to light. At that time, it will be clear at a glance who is right and who is wrong."

The sage said: "I have summoned Yin Ashu yesterday, and I only summoned you today. Both sides prove it, so why call Du Ruhui again! If it weren't for the instigation of these scholars, how could Erlang look like he is now!"

Xue Lang had a straight face, and a realization came to his mind, the saint had doubts about King Qin, and the power of the pillow wind was well-deserved.It's just that it's hard to refute this matter. The saint doesn't like the civil servants in the prince's mansion, so he will discount Du Ruhui's words, and now he doesn't have a mobile phone to take a video as evidence, so he just speaks with his mouth.

Because the sage had opinions on King Qin and the civil servants in Prince Qin's residence, he naturally leaned more towards Concubine Yin De.This loss, King Qin can only bear it.

Xue Lang sighed silently in his heart, and said sincerely: "Saint, the King of Qin is the son of the Saint. How is the King of Qin? The Saint has watched him grow up, and doesn't he know it in his heart? As for the person involved, Du Ruhui, I suggest that the Saint can use If people investigate his character, everything will be clear. In addition, the sage and King Qin are father and son. It is only natural for the sage to discipline King Qin. If the sage thinks that King Qin is doing badly, as a father, you are free to beat and scold him. Why should father and son be suspicious? I implore the sage to think twice, don't hurt the harmony and affection between father and son."
