Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 170 Tang Xuanzong's Punishment
"Yuhuan, why are you here?"

"Boring, let's come and see Your Majesty!" Concubine Yang blinked her graceful and beautiful eyes. Ever since she was pregnant with a child, Concubine Yang has been exuding a strong aura of love, as if she was rejuvenated overnight. At the age of ten, she is full of femininity, and her lively and charming appearance made Tang Xuanzong even more excited and favored.

"Sanlang is angry, what happened?" Concubine Yang asked curiously.

Yang Guozhong was secretly annoyed that Concubine Yang would not come sooner or later, but she came at this time.

"This——" Tang Xuanzong was a little embarrassed. He knew Yuhuan's protection of Li Fei, but after thinking about it, Yuhuan still wanted to know, so he told Li Fei's "doing" without concealment.

"It's not a big deal. Isn't it normal for civil and military officials to supervise each other? Saburo is the one who makes a thorough investigation and makes the decision." Concubine Yang Guifei seems innocent, but in fact she also has a delicate heart, which can be felt by Li Fei. The matter seemed to really make Tang Xuanzong angry. First of all, he had to calm Tang Xuanzong's anger, give Li Fei a reason for doing something wrong, and minimize the matter.

"Well, it's good for all officials to supervise each other, but Li Fei casually framed an important official like Lu Shan for rebellion without any real evidence, which almost caused Lu Shan to be wronged. It's too abominable!" Tang Xuanzong used the word "too abominable". This word not only shows his protection and trust in An Lushan, but also shows that he really thinks Li Fei's face is disgusting.

"But Saburo, isn't treason the most serious thing in the world? It may lead to a heinous disaster and endanger the safety of the country and Saburo. Doesn't it need complete evidence to speak out? Shouldn't it be brought up to investigate if you have doubts? Why is it a framed accusation? ?" Yang Guifei blinked her eyes and asked again.

"This——" Tang Xuanzong was so blocked that he didn't know how to refute, and he stood there for a while, why did it become a framed accusation?It's not something people say. If it's a false accusation, it's a false accusation. If it's a misunderstanding, it can be a misunderstanding, but why do you feel so uncomfortable?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Concubine Yang also glanced at Yang Guozhong at the side, her meaning was obvious, she wanted him, the 'uncle', to come out and say something nice to Li Fei, so that Li Fei would not be punished.

Yang Guozhong was so suppressed that his face turned black. What was the matter? He had finally dug the hole and kicked Li Fei in. He was about to bury him in the ground, so he had to pull Li Fei up at this time.How do you make him happy?But if Yang Guifei's request is ignored, won't this 'sister' who is not very close to him in the first place hate him in the future? 'Sister' is pregnant with His Majesty's child. He is still waiting for the next step to support 'Sister' to the throne of Queen, and even support 'Sister''s son to be the emperor in the future. It's so unwise.

In the end, Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth, both sides couldn't bear to give up, and thought of a compromise method, which could not only appease the "sister" first, but also leave a hole to continue to bury Li Fei.

"Sister, what you said may not be unreasonable, but Li Fei has indeed wronged the king of Dongping County. If you don't punish him, what will you make the king of Dongping think? Will the court think that he has signs of rebellion, so he has to fight against you?" There is a gap between the imperial court and His Majesty."

"That's right, for the sake of the community, we have to punish that kid Li Fei, and it can be regarded as a lesson for that kid." After being reminded by Yang Guozhong, Tang Xuanzong immediately became firm in his thoughts, and he must give Li Fei a punishment no matter what. This kid is so hateful, even Lushan dares to 'frame up'!
In Tang Xuanzong's heart, An Lushan was a hundred times more important than Li Fei, and he trusted An Lushan far more than Li Fei, so in his heart, Li Fei's accusation of An Lushan's rebellion was not a "wrongedness" but a complete "Framing" is hateful in short, and it is incomprehensible to be angry if it is not punished.

Concubine Yang also saw that Tang Xuanzong was really angry this time, and she would not stop unless Li Fei was punished, but she couldn't bear to see Li Fei being punished.

"Sanlang, Fei Er may have made some mistakes, but he has been recuperating my body for the past few years, so that I could conceive He Sanlang's child as I wished. You haven't rewarded him yet, why are you punishing him now?" Yang Guifei brought out her pregnancy.

Speaking of this, Tang Xuanzong was very helpless, and his heart was very complicated. It's not like he didn't feel that Concubine Yang Guifei could conceive when he was over 60, and he would have a child when he was old.But I can't say how happy I am. Yuhuan has been conferred the title of imperial concubine since Tianbao six years ago. She is like a queen after all, but she is not a queen after all. Yang Guozhong and the three sisters of the Yang family have always wanted to put Yuhuan on the throne of queen. He can understand .But Yuhuan's not being a queen is actually a kind of balance. The Yang family is already very powerful, and the prince has already settled down. Once this balance is broken, it will be chaotic for a while. He is old and doesn't want to deal with it anymore. Those messy things.

Because of the complexity in his heart, Tang Xuanzong has been delaying in not giving Li Fei any reward for Concubine Yang's pregnancy.But now, Concubine Yang Guifei said it in person, so it's hard to avoid it.

"Well, let's cut Li Fei's first-level title and fine his salary for half a year. This should improve this kid's memory." Tang Xuanzong made a compromise. After cutting one level, Li Fei is still the Duke of the county.

Tang Xuanzong still punished Tang Xuanzong. Yang Guifei seemed very unhappy, but she also knew that once Saburo made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. She continued to maintain it, which annoyed Tang Xuanzong, and even gave her face. , may start more harshly.It's just a cut of the first rank of title, and it's all about waiting for a few months to find a chance for Saburo to recover, and she will make up for the lost half-year salary by herself.

After comforting Concubine Yang, Tang Xuanzong sighed helplessly, still feeling uncomfortable in his heart, Li Fei was too cheap.

Yang Guozhong could hear Tang Xuanzong's psychology. He didn't speak just now, but he just wanted to appease Concubine Yang. The hole he dug for Li Fei is still there. Although he pulled Li Fei up, he can still change it. Ways to trap Li Fei in again.

Yang Guozhong rolled his eyes, and said to Tang Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, do you think that the punishment for Li Fei is a little lighter, and the purpose of making Li Fei suffer and remember?"

Tang Xuanzong shook his head helplessly: "Yuhuan is so protective, I can't ignore Yuhuan's face."

"Your Majesty, punish Li Fei and let him suffer. You don't have to continue to cut his title and official position. Isn't he jealous of Dongping County King, doesn't he know the 'hard work' of Dongping County King? Li Fei also has An Dongjie As for the position of Dushi, it was originally a title, and he was not needed. But recently, officials from Anton reported that there were many barbarians gathered in Anton, and the law and order had always been poor. Li Fei was very good at regulating the law and order in Chang'an City. Anton is much colder than Fan Yangping Lu, and I heard that urinating in winter can freeze people.” Yang Guozhong smiled at this point.

Tang Xuanzong also felt much more comfortable when he heard it. Anton was really bitterly cold, and few people who dispatched Jiedu envoys in previous years were willing to go.

"Li Fei was already serving as the envoy of Anton Jiedu. Your Majesty asked Li Fei to take up the post in the name of 'Experience'. This is for the 'sake' of Li Fei's future, and 'sister' can't say anything. When the time comes, Not only can it make Li Fei suffer, but His Majesty can also keep an eye on him all the time. If he does not do well in his job and makes mistakes, His Majesty will have a reason to continue to punish him. In short, he must let this kid 'improve his memory'!" The next three This word, Yang Guozhong especially emphasized. At the same time, Yang Guozhong's eyes were full of sinister, obviously this was another big hole he dug.

"Well, let's do it this way!" The more Tang Xuanzong listened to it, the more he felt reasonable and relieved. He, Li Fei, was not jealous of Lushan's achievements. He didn't know how much Lushan had suffered, so he was asked to go further north than Lushan. The more bitter and cold places suffer, young people should have more "experience"! ——
