Zhang Jun arrived at Yongdafang in a carriage like a gust of wind. From a distance, he saw several government servants standing in front of the foreign wife's house. What was the old housekeeper explaining to them?
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and the old housekeeper hurriedly came forward to report, "Sir, the study was stolen yesterday, and the three pieces of white jade were missing. Madam was about to report the case!"
Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and said: "It was not stolen. I took it away. Tell the government officials to leave quickly!"
The old housekeeper quickly gave some money to several government officials and said a few nice words, and the officials turned around and left.
Zhang Jun then got off the carriage and walked quickly into the house. His wife came forward to meet him and said in panic: "Master, there was a burglar in the study last night."
A foreign wife is a mistress. In the Tang Dynasty, she was called a stay-at-home wife, a woman with no status who was kept outside by dignitaries. Li Longji issued several decrees prohibiting officials from keeping stay-at-home wives, but the execution was not very good.
A few more words here.
The Sui and Tang dynasties were greatly influenced by the Xianbei people. Although the rulers were Han people, they were all descendants of the six garrison guards of the Northern Wei Dynasty. They were all Hu-hua Han people. Their customs, etiquette, ethics, etc. were no different from the Xianbei Hu people.
.
After the descendants of the Six Towns established the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and began to rule the Central Plains, they gradually accepted Han culture, but they still retained some Xianbei ethics in their bones.
For example, there is a custom among the grassland Hu people. It is normal for a son to inherit the women left by his dead father. Except for his biological mother, all his father's women are his property, so of course he must inherit them.
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi made Wu Zetian his queen, but Wu Zetian was Tang Taizong's concubine. Han people could not accept this kind of ethics, but Xianbei culture considered it normal.
It is not surprising in Xianbei culture that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan as his wife. Even after the death of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, is it true that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty took in Mrs. Xuanhua? Of course it may be true, but it is not surprising.
Li Zhi could take over Wu Zetian, but why couldn't Yang Guang take over Mrs. Xuanhua?
It was originally a custom of the Xianbei Hu people, but it was just used by later generations to discredit Yang Guang.
Another characteristic of the Xianbei Hu people is that the status of the eldest women is relatively high, which is related to their dowry property. Without the constraints of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the eldest women were half of the sky at home.
Therefore, there were many henpecked cases in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, including Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, who was particularly henpecked.
Zhang Jun's maternal wife's surname was Han. She was a singer and belonged to a lowly family. It was normal for Zhang Jun's wife not to recognize her. Zhang Jun had to secretly raise her outside and gave birth to a son.
Zhang Jun was not afraid that the court and the emperor would know, but that his wife would know.
Zhang Jun said angrily: "Don't rush to report a thief at home. You have to tell me first and I will decide. Do you understand?"
When Mrs. Han saw that her master was angry, she was so frightened that she said tremblingly: "I know!"
Zhang Jun walked quickly to the study. When he entered the study, he couldn't see the jade screen in the corner, and the jade unicorn and jade ruler on the table were also missing.
But Zhang Jun was most worried about the things in his bookcase. He opened the bookcase and found that the brocade box was missing. His head buzzed, and his whole body felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.
There are many letters in the brocade box, especially a prophecy book, which contains his own experience and experience. If Li Linfu gets it, the consequences will be disastrous.
His legs trembled, and he sat down on the ground weakly.
Li Linfu was still in the Anranju Restaurant in Guangzhaifang. He was arranging the impeachment of Yu Wenjing. This was his style of doing things. Everything had to be planned before taking action.
He asked someone to make a copy of the evidence provided by Yuan Xiao and gave the copy to Wang Gong, the censor Zhongcheng.
"I will submit a letter of impeachment this afternoon to impeach Yu Wenjing for indulging his family to do evil and endangering the people of Chang'an."
Wang Gong is Li Linfu's confidant and Li Linfu's die-hard ally. He is also the key to Li Linfu's control of Yushitai.
Wang Gong looked at the detailed records, pondered for a moment and said: "I have actually heard of many of the cases here, and some officials have opened cases, but they were later dropped.
Prime Minister, I despise my position. To be honest, with these cases, Yu Wen Siwu will definitely not be able to escape, but maybe Yu Wenjing will end up with a reputation for killing relatives for justice."
Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "This is just a side dish before the big meal. Soon, someone will come to Yushitai to expose a bigger crime."
Wang Gong nodded, "The prime minister needs to set up a target first, and then someone can draw the bow and shoot the arrow?"
"Exactly!"
"I understand, I will submit the impeachment letter this afternoon!"
Wang Gong left in a hurry. Not long after, the guard Wang Kuan reported at the door, "For the record, Prime Minister, Yushi Ji is here!"
"Let him in!"
After a while, Ji Wen, the supervisory censor, walked into the room, bowed and saluted, "Ji Wen comes to see the Prime Minister!"
Ji Wen was a thug promoted by Li Linfu. Although last year he discovered that the Yang family was rising and Li Linfu was beginning to decline, and he also began to quietly favor the Yang family, he was not as obviously excessive as Yu Wenjing. Especially after the Battle of Shuofang, Li Linfu's phase
Once the situation was stable again, Ji Wen saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately took back the foot that was testing the water temperature and continued to work for Li Linfu.
"Find this person immediately!"
Li Linfu handed him a note, which said Cui Jiaju, the commander of the Xunwei Army. Li Linfu told him: "This Cui Zhichang has a subordinate named Yuwen Siwu who took advantage of the opportunity to be on duty in the palace at night.
, had an affair with the palace concubine, this Cui Jiaju is an insider, and I need his detailed confession."
Li Linfu whispered again: "Tell this Cui Jiaju that if he is willing to take the initiative to write a letter and expose it, I will ensure that he is safe and sound. If he wants to protect Yu Wen Siwu, then he will be guilty of not reporting what he knew, and his life will not be saved."
Ji Wen immediately understood that the Prime Minister was going to deal with Yu Wenjing. Ji Wen nodded, "I will go back and take care of this matter immediately!"
"It must be kept low-key and secretive. It is related to the emperor's face. This matter must not be spread to outsiders!"
"I understand the humble position!"
Jiwen bowed and left.
Li Ye has been sitting aside, silently paying attention to the deployment of his grandfather Li Linfu, learning his tactics and struggles, calm, wise, meticulous, and watertight. He used Yu Wen Siwu's evil deeds to set a target, used the concubine's affair to attack the enemy, and finally used Linfen Manor.
Hiding weapons secretly to completely destroy the opponent, the three arrows interlocking with each other are extremely cruel. Yu Wenjing Mo said that as the prime minister, he was lucky to be able to save his life.
"Who is my grandfather going to hand over to expose the matter at Linfen Manor?" Li Ye couldn't help but ask.
Li Linfu was still deep in thought. After hearing his grandson's question, Li Linfu said with a smile: "I have to do that myself. When the Holy One summons me, I will look for an opportunity to mention it!"
Li Linfu asked again: "I remember you told me two days ago that you had the assassin who shot Sun Jiliang?"
Li Ye nodded, "He is very skilled in martial arts and also knows medical skills. My grandson wants to recruit him."
"There is no problem in recruiting him, but he must know who is the mastermind behind Yang Wei?"
Li Ye quickly said: "I asked him before. He is a scribe named Wang Jian. He seems to be from Chang'an."
Li Linfu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said slowly to Li Ye: "You have to find this person as soon as possible. I don't care what means you use, you must force him to do something for me."
Whatever his grandfather wanted to do, Li Ye was as clear as a mirror.
