Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 42 Expelling from the city, facing the wall and thinking

On the second watch, the long street was silent, and the cold moon was like a hook.

The city of Chang'an was under curfew, and the city that was prosperous during the day seemed particularly gloomy and desolate.There are red or white paper lanterns hanging outside the gates of each square market. The lights are dim and the north wind is blowing. The lanterns sway under the eaves.

Except for a pair of Jinwu guards who patrolled the forbidden night, only the watchmen who occasionally passed by carried small lanterns and banged broken gongs or clappers, and the shrunken shadow appeared and disappeared into the darkness; the slow, listless gong The sound of clappers or clappers gradually faded away in the wind.

Under the white jade bar in front of the Tai Chi Hall, a few lanterns exuded a faint halo, and a group of young men in brocade clothes knelt in a row.

The usually arrogant and unruly dudes were all shivering in the biting cold wind at this time, and the flamboyant expressions of the past were not seen at all. still white...

This is not the end, behind him is a team of strong guards in black helmets and white ying, all with leather whips in their hands. If any limbs are paralyzed because their blood vessels are blocked due to holding a position for a long time, they can't bear to move a little. , that is, a whip was severely slapped on the back, and these domineering dudes gasped, but they didn't dare to say a cruel word, and could only bear it with a grimacing face.

King Wei Li Tai was treated better. He was wearing a black bearskin cloak brought to him by the palace attendant. He wrapped his fat body tightly and held a small brass stove in his hand. The warm stove dissipated it. Biting cold.

He did not kneel, but stood there, moving his hands and feet from time to time, and no guards would whip him with whips.

Even so, Li Tai, King of Wei felt that his face was hot in the cold wind.

Shame...

I think of him, King of Wei Li Tai, who has always shown himself as a smart and wise man. The whole dynasty praised him for being "graceful and generous, with the appearance of a master, and between his actions and actions, he has the appearance of a dragon and a tiger." Punished to stand, the ministers who came and went all cast joking glances, and many people even held back their laughter. It is conceivable that in just one night, the matter here will spread throughout Chang'an, and it will be cited as an afterthought by boring people. 's talk.

Li Tai was extremely depressed, not only annoyed at Fang Jun, who was not stingy, but also complained slightly to His Majesty Li Er.

It's a big deal, just scolding a few words and it's over. It's really not a big deal to shut the door and beat it twice. How can you make such a big fanfare to mobilize the public?Isn't this obviously skinning...

Dissatisfied in his heart, his face naturally became more and more gloomy.

Chai Lingwu watched it from the side, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "We are so embarrassed, we all blame Fang Er for this club, rest assured, Your Highness, a certain will never forgive him!"

Li Tai glanced at him speechlessly. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were obviously saying: Who can't you forgive?He was knocked down in a single face-to-face, that is, the mouth cannon is powerful...

Those eyes were full of contempt, and Chai Lingwu's face was flushed with shame, and Fang Jun was completely hated in his heart.

Several ministers hurried in from outside the Chengtian Gate at this time, but when they passed by the group of dudes, they didn't even look at them and entered the brightly lit Taiji Hall.

There was a commotion in the gangsters.

Li Siwen shrugged his shoulders and said with a bitter face, "It's over, my father is here..."

Fang Jun was also speechless: "My father is here too."

Chai Lingwu spit on the ground angrily, but his father didn't come because he was already dead... It was his eldest brother, Chai Zhewei, who inherited the title of Duke of Qiao Kingdom.His eldest brother has a strict and old-fashioned temperament. He usually despises Chai Lingwu's frivolous temperament who is not doing his job properly. now...

Therefore, Chai Lingwu was extremely terrified of this eldest brother.

The rest of the dudes also sighed and looked sad. I am afraid that today's affairs will not be good, not to mention how Your Majesty will deal with it, it is inevitable to have a family meal after returning home.

No matter what the camp is, at this time, everyone expresses their extreme dissatisfaction with His Majesty Li Er - if you do something, you will find your parents, so disgusting...

********
The Taiji Hall was brightly lit, with a one-foot-high butter wax filled with bronze lamp trees, and the flames were burning.There is a bronze furnace cauldron in the four corners of the main hall. The incense charcoal inside is burning vigorously, and the faint fragrance mixed with heat is drilled out from the gap of the animal-patterned cauldron, driving away the slightest chill, and it is as warm as spring.

It is a world of difference from the ice and snow outside the hall.

Due to the occasional formal court meeting, two rows of desks were placed on both sides of the hall where they usually stood, with wine jugs on top and a few delicate pastries.

His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne, not wearing court clothes, but wearing an ordinary blue brocade robe, a pair of tiger eyes glanced at the minister in front of him, his face was sinking like water, and he was not angry.

"What do you think should be done with today's matter?"

His Majesty's tone was calm, but there was anger in his voice.

After a bunch of noble relatives and meritorious deeds, they actually fought against the clean land of Buddhism, causing a smoky and smoky, chicken-flying dog jumping.Although His Majesty Li Er was not too fond of Buddhism, it was a public place after all, and the impact of this matter was very bad!
There was silence in the hall for a while, and the ministers were a little embarrassed.

They had all had dinner in the mansion, and they had stopped washing up. They waited to go back to the room and hugged their wives, concubines or maids to discuss the avenue of human relations, but they were called into the palace one by one by His Majesty, and only then did they learn about the Qingyuan Temple.

It's a bit embarrassing to have your child get into trouble and be named and criticized by the leader...

Guys don't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to stand up and play: "Report to Your Majesty, there are national laws and family rules, so they must be punished according to the law."

He is the prime minister's real minister, and the head of civil servants can only stand up first to express his attitude.

When he took the lead, everyone made a statement, saying that they should be dealt with in accordance with the law, and there would be no complaints.

More than just no complaints?

At this time, these ministers can't wait to go into battle in person, beat their own bastards to death, and cause them to be embarrassed in front of the emperor, they should be beaten!

His Majesty Li Er just sneered.

punished by law?

Gathering a crowd to make trouble, fight and disturb the public order, if it is judged according to the "Tang Law", it is a public cane, and it is sent to the army.

If it is really punished like this, it is impossible to say that there will be a reputation for "treating the hero" in the market.

His Majesty Li Er wouldn't do such a stupid thing, so he kicked the ball back.

"Zhijie, at this time, you and LT County will handle it together. The spinal rod of the vertebral stick, the conquest of the army."

Cheng Yaojin was dozing with his eyes narrowed, and when he heard the words, he shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I have been bloated and dry a few days ago, and defecation was not smooth. The honey water was drunk in jars, and the result was too much. This is too unobstructed, a dozen times a day in the hut... Oh, come on, Your Majesty, I will go down to the latrine first..."

His Majesty Li Er's face turned black, this old ram... but he couldn't help him, so he could only wave his hands in disgust, Cheng Yaojin covered his stomach and slipped out of the hall.

Everyone has long been surprised by Cheng Yaojin's rogue temperament, and they don't care, but they understand that His Majesty is really annoyed, and they are a little apprehensive.

Seeing that His Majesty's face was getting worse and worse, everyone knew that shirk responsibility would not work, so they looked at each other and Li Ji stood up.

Li Ji is 42 years old this year, with fair skin and a dusty complexion. His chin is a little pointed and he looks thin. He has a sparse beard and a clear temperament. , A famous general who can take the lead in charging.But his pair of sword eyebrows, high cheekbones, broad forehead, but with a calm and resolute look.

He stood up, bowed to His Majesty Li Er, and said: "Although this matter is not a major matter, it has a wide range of implications and a very bad impact, and there will definitely be criticisms in the community. But if it is severely punished, it is afraid that it will damage the reputation of King Wei... Yichen In my opinion, if each family were to suspend the people involved for a few months, the influence would slowly dissipate as time passed by..."

His Majesty Li Er secretly sighed inwardly, this Li Ji is really thoughtful, and he has already guessed his intentions.

He intends to punish them severely. If these bastards don't give some color, they can't say how lawless they will be in the future.

But if it is severely punished, it will inevitably hurt the prestige of King Li Tai of Wei.

His Majesty Li Er had high hopes for this son, and he would not want to hurt his wings so easily.

After a little contemplation, His Majesty Li Er said: "That's the case, I will distribute these bastards to their own farms outside the city, and they will not be allowed to return to the city within a month!"

　The physical condition is very bad, this chapter is too laborious to write, I am very dissatisfied... It is said that recommendation and collection can be refreshing, I don't know if it is true...
