In fact, not only Li Jing and Li Keshi, there are many people named Li in the court who are also related to the Li Tang royal family.
For example, Li Shishi, a doctor in the imperial court, was from the Jiangjun Fang of the Li family; Li Minfan, the Taibu Ling, was from the Pushefang of the Li family, and so on.
Anyway, the Li family's family is very large. If we really want to talk about it, from Liangzhou to Yongzhou and then to Bingzhou, there are Li family members, and they are all related to the current Li and Tang royal family.
If the Li Tang royal family recognizes all these people and enfeoffs them, then the existing Li family territory may not be enough.
Therefore, the Li Tang royal family now only recognizes the four-fang family, which is called the Dingzhu four-fang family in history books. And among these four families, only the one descended from Li Hu can enjoy the true royal treatment.
Other clans and branches can only rely on their status to have fun in the local area. When they get to Chang'an City, no one will take advantage of them.
Of course, it's a different matter for people like Li Jing and Li Keshi who relied on their own abilities to get up.
All in all, Zhang Liang set up his new wife because of the relationship between Li Jing and Li Keshi. It was also because of this reason that Zhang Shenwei could no longer occupy the title of the eldest son.
However, he had no shortage of the yinbu that he should enjoy. When Zhang Liang was made a prince, he was promoted to an official position by yinbu, and he had an official body that was well prepared for thousands of people.
Today was the New Year's Eve banquet, and all the officials in Chang'an City were included in the banquet, so he also used his identity to get a position outside the Taiji Hall.
As for what's inside the Tai Chi Hall, let alone him, even if he comes, he won't have a role. Today, among the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall, the average number of Dukes and princes in the Tai Chi Hall is not qualified to enter.
The name of Zheng Shuling mentioned by the interviewer is Zheng Shanyi. He comes from the Zheng family in Xingyang. He served as a secretary under the Taichang family. He is one of the few officials of the Zheng family in Xingyang who remains in the court today.
His official position was not high and he had no title, so he had no choice but to sit outside the palace with Zhang Shenwei. Now the two men started fighting and even exchanged blows.
The profound meaning contained in this is intriguing. Li Yuanji is sure that this must be planned by Li Yuan behind the scenes. If Li Yuan didn't know that there would be such a scene tonight, he would have taken off his head and played it as a ball for Li Yuan.
"You bastard, how can you behave violently in front of Tai Chi Hall?!" Li Yuan shouted angrily after listening to the visitor's report.
After finishing the scolding, he asked Wang Gui: "Wang Gui, you are the imperial censor. Please tell me how to deal with this situation?" It is the censor's responsibility to maintain order in front of the palace. To be precise, it is the imperial censor's duty.
The responsibilities of the former censor.
However, the imperial censors in front of the palace are also under the control of the censorship station, so it is not wrong for Li Yuan to directly ask Wang Gui, the head of the censorship station.
After Wang Gui heard Li Yuan's question, he bowed without hesitation and said: "Return to the saint, according to etiquette, you should have thirty rods and a year's salary." As soon as Wang Gui said this, many people took a breath.
Cool air.
A one-year fine is neither painful nor painful for Zhang Shenwei or Zheng Shanyi, and it is not worth paying attention to.
But thirty canes are different. The cane punishments in front of the palace are divided into light and heavy. No matter how many light strokes are taken, it will be the same as if there is no stroke, and ten heavy strokes can kill a person's life.
Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi were just two minor officials, and they did not enjoy the treatment of light sticks. There was no one behind them that Li Yuan could give face to, so these thirty sticks must be heavy sticks.
This was going to cost Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi their lives. At this moment, everyone who had a close relationship with Zhang Liang or the Zheng family in Xingyang began to warn them.
"Sage, as far as I know, Zhang Shenwei is still a boy less than fifteen years old. He still has a lot of time to be loyal to me, the Tang Dynasty. If he is hit with thirty sticks, he will probably be dead. I wonder if the saint can remember this?
For the sake of his youth and ignorance, please forgive him this time?" Qin Qiong was the first to stand up and plead with Zhang Shenwei.
He and Zhang Liang had been colleagues for a long time and had fought side by side. Now that Zhang Liang was gone and Zhang Liang's son was in trouble, he, as an uncle, could not just watch.
This shows that Qin Qiong is kind and willing to stand up for Zhang Liang's son even if he doesn't have a close relationship with Zhang Liang.
If Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were to come, they would stand there without saying a word. Although they have friendship with Zhang Liang, their friendship is not that deep, and they have not reached the point of entrusting their wife and son to Li Yuan.
It was impossible for them to stand up for Zhang Shenwei when they were still angry.
With Qin Qiong taking the lead, others also started to speak up and plead for Zheng Shanyi. Li Yuanji stood aside and watched silently from beginning to end. After watching for a long time, he discovered something very interesting.
That is, the number of people who interceded for Zhang Shenwei can be counted on one hand, and there were many people who interceded for Zheng Shanyi.
What does this mean? It means that not only does Zhang Liang have no foundation in a wealthy family, he has no background, and he is not good at making friends.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for only a few of the military ministers who accounted for half of the palace to intercede for his son.
"According to your statement, they can all be forgiven, so what should I do if I can't get along with the mood in my heart?" Li Yuan asked, facing dozens of Wen and Wu who begged for mercy, glaring.
For a moment, the civil and military officials who begged for mercy fell silent. Although they were willing to help Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi plead for mercy, their friendship was not to the point where they could risk Li Yuan's wrath to save their lives.
When all the people asking for mercy were speechless by Li Yuan, Li Gang stood up and said a fair word,
"Sage, why don't you bring them two up? First, ask them why they fought with each other. After you understand the reason, how about you make a decision?" Li Gang gave Li Yuan a step up, and also gave all those who begged for mercy.
Each person is on the same level, so as not to force both of them to stand on each other and lead to a stalemate.
At this time, all the people who begged for mercy nodded in response to Li Gang's words. Li Yuan also walked down the steps, saying bluntly that he was trying to save Li Gang's face, and would not let him go if he did it again, and would not let anyone interrogate Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi.
The matter was left to Li Gang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Gang immediately ordered people to bring Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi in. Then he began to interrogate them under the watchful eyes of everyone in the palace.
Zhang Shenwei is very young and has a tender face, but when faced with an elder who is more noble than his father, he does not have any stage fright. Instead, he explains the conflict between him and Zheng Shanyi in a clear and logical manner.
Basically, he was bragging to several other young people with similar status to him during the dinner, saying that when his younger brother was studying martial arts in Guannai Road, he was so talented that he wanted to take him into his family and teach him carefully.
After his father learned about this, he immediately sent people to build a primary school in his hometown in Xingyang, where the famous scholar and his younger brother could devote themselves to studying knowledge together, which instantly benefited the countryside.
Then Zheng Shanyi, who was sitting next to him, didn't know what was going on, so he sneered and said that his family was imitating others and wanted to imitate others and build a family with knowledge and become a famous family. It was simply a fool's dream.
Zhang Shenwei, a young and energetic young man, was bragging to his friends and pretending to be cool in front of his friends. How could he listen to this and immediately punched Zheng Shanyi.
Although Zheng Shanyi was a scholar, he also had some skills, and then the two of them started fighting.
And the fighting became more and more excessive, from the initial fist fight to the use of "weapons". The cups and silver plates on their respective tables, as well as the cups and silver plates on the tables of those nearby, all fell into their hands.
weapons.
Then the commotion became louder, and it spread to the palace, and he was brought in. The process was just like this, it was quite bloody, and it was quite speechless.
However, Zhang Shenwei explained clearly that although Zheng Shanyi tried hard to confuse right and wrong, he did not dare to go too far and did not dare to deny that he ridiculed Zhang Shenwei out loud.
After all, there were many people present at that time, and many people had witnessed the process of their enmity. He could defend himself, or he could slightly confuse right and wrong, but if he went too far, he would describe himself as a good person.
.
Li Yuan turned around and sent someone to ask. If he didn't agree with what he said, then he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor. He had a fight in front of the palace and was caught by Li Yuan. With his family background, it would be difficult to die. At most, he would suffer a little flesh.
But if he deceives the emperor, and deceives the emperor in front of all the elders in the court, then the king of heaven will not be able to protect him even if he comes down.
"So, it was you who showed up rudely in the first place that caused this fight?" After Li Gang learned what happened, he stared at Zheng Shanyi expressionlessly and asked.
Zheng Shanyi hurriedly said: "The lower official was also quick to speak, and he didn't mean to hurt others with his bad words. Who knew that Zhang Shenwei was unreasonable and came right after him with a punch..." Li Gang raised his hand to signal Zheng Shanyi not to say more, and told him in detail
He already understood, then looked at Zhang Shenwei and asked again,
"You punched and kicked someone just because they ridiculed you?" Zhang Shen raised his neck slightly and said with a fierce look on his face: "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated! Although my father was born in a poor family, he still has a positive heart.
Because his father was born in the military, he made irresponsible remarks about his father's good deeds in setting up elementary schools in the village. How can he be tolerated when he is a subordinate official?
, especially the military minister who came from an ordinary background, instantly exploded.
"Why, you Zheng family can do things like open elementary school and benefit the village, but we, the fighting men who came out of the army, can't do it?"
"Aren't you Zhengs too overbearing?!"
"Then we will open elementary schools in the countryside in the future to benefit the people who are still in the original place. Do we also need to ask what you think?"
"..." Zhang Shenwei's words were very destructive, and Zheng Shanguo became the target of thousands of people in an instant.
In the Tang Dynasty, the status of warriors was inherently higher than that of literati, so when there was a conflict between civil and military people, it was the literati who gave way to the warriors.
Nowadays, some people ridicule warriors because of their status. Doesn’t that slap all warriors in the face? How can warriors endure it?
"No, that's not the case, my lord, that's not what I mean..." Zheng Shanguo was completely panicked by the accusations and began to explain himself.
"What do you mean if you don't mean that? Are you trying to say that when we open an elementary school, we not only have to ask you what you mean, but also ask you, Mrs. Zheng, to nod? You, Mrs. Zheng, are so majestic!" Someone refused at all.
When Zheng Shanguo had the opportunity to explain, he started to start a fight and started to mess around.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhang Pinggao, Duke of Xiao. This man did not leave much writing in history, but he was one of Li Yuan's confidants and one of the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou canonized by Li Yuan.
Although this man rarely appeared in court, his importance in the court was not low, and his importance in Li Yuan's heart was not low either.
When Li Yuan rebelled, he was the first military leader appointed. The role he played under Li Yuan is the role Yu Wenbao plays now.
