When they compete to determine the winner, it's time to harvest them.
"What's going on? Xu'er is disobedient again?"
Just when Liu Jun went out to deliver the order, Yang Miaoyan returned to the palace with a large number of Yingying Yanyan. Most of them were holding masks and smiling happily. It seemed that they had a good time on Quchi.
When Yang Miaoyan saw Li Xu standing there with his mouth shut and angrily, he couldn't help but come over to ask with his big belly in his hands.
It doesn't matter if you don't ask, Li Xu immediately exploded when asked.
In her opinion, she was the one who was bullied and wronged. As a result, the eldest mother came back and instead of seeking justice for her, she blamed her.
She immediately stamped her feet in grief and anger and shouted: "It was my father who bullied me, it was my father who robbed me of my face!"
Face is the collective name for masks in the Tang Dynasty.
Whether it is used by priests or during ordinary festivals, it is called face.
It means like another face of a person.
Very vivid and profound.
Because many people wear a mask in front of others.
The masks on many people's faces may not be taken off until death.
When Yang Miaoyan heard what she said, she realized that she had misunderstood her. She immediately looked at Li Yuanji and said, "What are you doing to steal her face?"
As for admitting his mistake to Li Xu or apologizing to him, Yang Miaoyan would not think about it and would not have such a concept in his mind.
After all, in this era, it is impossible for elders to take the initiative to admit their mistakes to younger generations.
Even if the elder says something wrong and misunderstands the younger generation, the younger generation will still have to suffer.
If you are not convinced, then go to the yamen and ask, and read the laws of the Tang Dynasty. The officials in the yamen and the filial piety expressly stipulated in the laws of the Tang Dynasty all support this statement.
So in the Tang Dynasty, the younger generation had no human rights.
This is also the reason why many people become rogues after becoming ancestors.
It was purely because they had been suppressed for a lifetime, and they were only able to be released when they were old, so they all started to let loose.
Li Yuanji did not answer Yang Miaoyan's question, but just handed the mask that Li Xu had worn before to Yang Miaoyan.
Yang Miaoyan only glanced at it before frowning. She stared at Li Xu and asked, "Who gave it to you?"
Li Xu didn't realize until this moment that there might be something wrong with the mask she was wearing, and immediately she became less confident. She lowered her head timidly and said, "The nun who was talking to Erniang and the others during the banquet..."
In the Tang Dynasty, some elders who were not clear about their relationship could also be called mamas.
Although Li Xu can now remember things and people, there are too many personal records of Li's family, and there are many people who are shamelessly trying to have a relationship with Li, so for people like Yang Yicheng who rarely show up, she still keeps track of people like her.
The identity of the other party is unknown.
However, after this incident, Li Yuanji believed that Li Xu would definitely keep Yang Yicheng in his heart.
After all, although Yang Miaoyan, the eldest mother, is not Li Xu's biological mother, she has always treated Li Xu as her biological mother when teaching her. She is impartial and will not treat Li Xu harshly just because Li Xu is not her biological mother.
.
Therefore, when Li Xu makes no mistakes or is disobedient, he rarely shows Li Xu a look.
Li Xu's previous social circle was all in the palace. Even if he made mistakes and was questioned by Yang Miaoyan with a straight face, most of them were related to acquaintances.
Now because of a stranger outside the palace, Yang Miaoyan was questioning her with a straight face. It would be strange if she didn't remember him.
"How could she, an elder, bully a child like this?! She is simply disrespectful!"
When Yang Miaoyan heard that it was the Li Xu mask given by Yang Yicheng, she immediately became angry.
Although Yang Yicheng is senior to her and once had a more noble status than her, the world today is no longer the world of the Sui Dynasty, but the world of the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Yicheng is no longer a princess, nor is she a Turkic Kehe Dun, but an old woman with some status in the Tang Dynasty.
But Yang Miaoyan is different. She can now be said to be the second among all the women in the Tang Dynasty.
Except for Li Xiuning, the third sister-in-law, whom she needs to give some face to, she doesn't care about other people.
"You! You! You! Let people prepare the ceremonial guard and follow me to Chang'an City to ask clearly!"
Yang Miaoyan had a great reaction to this matter, and immediately ordered his minions to go to Yang Yicheng to question him.
Li Yuanji hurriedly tried to persuade him: "You are already acting bad now. You have been playing in Quchi for another day, so you can't run around anymore. Besides, it's already midnight, and it's not suitable to leave the palace again. You'd better go tomorrow."
Yang Miaoyan opened her eyes and said: "This kind of thing can't wait until tomorrow. Since she dares to do it, don't blame me for knocking on the door. If I don't take off her face today, I won't sleep."
With that said, Yang Miaoyan rushed out of the palace, and a group of minions quickly followed.
Li Yuanji stared blankly at the newly filled main hall of Wude Hall becoming empty again, and murmured to himself: "Is the princess so angry?"
In my impression, Yang Miaoyan doesn’t seem to be this kind of person?!
Although Yang Miaoyan left and took a lot of minions with him, Wang Ruan did not leave.
She also has to stay and take care of all the cubs.
When Wang Ruan heard this, he came forward with Li Chengde in his arms and said with a smile: "On normal days, my sister would definitely not be like this. This time, my cousin went too far.
It's okay to bully a young person, but he also bullied a child who is two generations below and doesn't understand anything.
If my sister doesn't come to seek justice, she will be a mother in vain.
That’s why my sister became more angry.”
Li Yuanji said doubtfully: "Is that so?"
Why does he feel that Yang Miaoyan is still trying to make use of the topic?
Otherwise, why would you use the guard of honor to find Yang Yicheng in the middle of the night?!
There is a saying that a wife is valued according to her husband.
Yang Miaoyan has a lot of ceremonial guards now. As much as he, Prince Yong, has, Yang Miaoyan has as many ceremonial guards as he has.
The difference is that most of his weapons are swordsmen, golden melons, axes and axes, while Yang Miaoyan's weapons are mostly military accounts such as screen fans and festival cards.
Therefore, Yang Miaoyan's honor guard was quite large, with thousands of people in action.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When an honor guard of thousands of people leaves the palace, the palace gate must be opened.
It is a formal palace gate, not a small door on the edge of the city wall or in the door opening.
Although Yang Miaoyan cannot go through the middle gate, which is Chengtian Gate, he can also go through side gates, such as Changle Gate.
Once the palace gate opens and the ceremonial guard comes out, all the gates leading to the city where Yang Yicheng lives will be opened.
Fang Zheng, as well as all the important ladies in the square should welcome him.
In other words, tonight is the Lantern Festival, the curfew is exempted, and it is late at night, so there is no need to worry about whether the roads are clean.
Otherwise, the chiefs and clerks of each neighborhood would have to sweep the streets, and go door to door to notify them.
Therefore, if Yang Miaoyan only went to Yang Yicheng to seek justice, there would be no need to mobilize so many troops.
After all, it's quite frustrating and easy to be blamed.
Wang Ruan saw Li Yuanji's thoughts and said with a smile: "Sister, of course, I'm borrowing the topic a little bit. Xu'er and the others are still young. Although they can already understand right and wrong, they still don't know how to distinguish right from wrong.
No one had taken action against Xu'er and the others before, so my sister didn't have to worry about it.
Nowadays, some people do not care about their appearance, bully the small ones with their bigness, and bully Xuer and others for their ignorance.
Of course, my sister will fight back hard.
Otherwise, others will think that we are easy to bully, and this kind of thing will happen a second or third time in the future..."
When Wang Ruan said this, Li Yuanji already understood what Yang Miaoyan was going to do.
Yang Miaoyan wanted to take advantage of the topic and use the opportunity to establish her authority, so that everyone would realize that they should not stretch their claws when they shouldn't, so that others would stop bullying Li Xu's children.
This is called hitting with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming.
As long as this punch is hard enough, hard enough, and painful enough, no one will dare to make a fuss about Li Xu's children again.
However, this move is not good for Yang Miaoyan's reputation.
After all, the idea of a loving mother and a strict father is a view shared by most people in this era. The Tang Dynasty already had him as a strict father, so Yang Miaoyan should work hard in the direction of a loving mother.
Most of the emperors and empresses throughout the dynasties were like this.
The emperor pursues the rule of the world, speaks the constitution of heaven, stirs up the clouds and spreads the rain, while the queen pursues the mother's kindness to the world, being virtuous and virtuous, and making the spring breeze turn into rain.
But no one wants to have a strict father and a strict mother at the same time.
In that case, everyone will live very tiredly.
Therefore, Yang Miaoyan's tough and unreasonable behavior will inevitably arouse criticism.
"Send someone to go to my third sister's house, and ask her to go to her cousin's aunt's house to show her dignity."
Li Yuanji said with emotion.
Yang Miaoyan, the mother, had already charged, so of course he, the father, couldn't hold him back.
It's just that he can't get involved in the fights between women, so he can only send someone to ask Li Xiuning to come forward.
"It's best to let the third sister get ahead of the princess..."
Li Yuanji thought for a moment and added another sentence.
If Li Xiuning had put up the guard of honor first and went to Yang Yicheng's house, then Yang Miaoyan would have put up the guard of honor and gone there, it would not be so easy to cause criticism.
After all, Li Xiuning, the married daughter, has started to show off, so Yang Miaoyan, the married daughter-in-law, cannot lose.
As for what the two people were doing at Yang Yicheng's house, it is estimated that not many people would be willing to pay attention.
Anyway, compared to Yang Miaoyan going to Yang Yicheng to accuse Yang Yicheng and bullying the orphans and widows, the quarrel between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law is more interesting and worthy of people's attention.
Especially since the status of the sister-in-law and sister-in-law is extraordinary, they can attract a crowd of melon-eating people to pounce on melon-eating.
When Wang Ruan heard this, his smile became even brighter, and he said with a slightly teasing tone: "You really feel sorry for your sister..."
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Wang Ruan.
Woman, your name is jealousy.
"I feel sorry for you too, so I'll let you sleep with me tonight."
Wang Ruan was stunned for a moment.
Li Yuanji added, "You are alone!"
Wang Ruan was so frightened that her beauty turned pale and she ran away. She couldn't bear it alone.
As Wang Ruan sent someone to deliver a message to Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning put up a guard of honor and arrived at Yang Yicheng's house first. After Yang Miaoyan put up a guard of honor and went over, it was really not that eye-catching.
At least the public opinion did not turn towards Yang Miaoyan's unkindness and bullying of the lonely and widowed.
Yang Miaoyan, with the support of Li Xiuning, severely reprimanded Yang Yicheng.
If Yang Miaoyan's surname is not Yang, even if she is a princess, she would not be able to do this.
But Yang Miaoyan's surname was Yang, and she was related to Yang Yicheng, so even if Yang Miaoyan took advantage of her power to bully others, she could still tell the outside world that this was a family matter and no one else could care about it.
What the Tang Dynasty pays attention to is other people's family affairs, and other people cannot interfere with it.
Many people may think, what happened if it got mixed up?
Why don't you let others uphold justice?
Then you are wrong.
The reason why the ancients were particular about not meddling in other people's affairs was not because they couldn't interfere in other people's affairs, nor because they couldn't uphold justice.
It's just a lot of other people's family affairs. After you get involved, it's easy to be the exception.
The end result is very likely that when you help resolve conflicts in other people's families, instead of thanking you, they join forces to blame you for being nosy.
Therefore, the ancients were particular about not interfering in other people's affairs, not because they were afraid of trouble, nor because they were afraid of making things unclear and not being able to uphold justice, but purely for self-protection.
However, even though Yang Miaoyan handled the matter in the name of family matters, and Li Xiuning helped her calm down the public opinion and turmoil caused by her use of the guard of honor, she was still impeached.
Not only her, Li Xiuning was also impeached.
The charges against them were unfilial piety and bullying.
The former is a crime against Yang Miaoyan, and the latter is a crime against Li Xiuning.
The person who impeached them was Wei Zheng.
Originally, according to the level of Yang Miaoyan and Li Xiuning, Wang Gui should be the one.
However, since the matter involved Li Xiuning, it was difficult for Wang Gui to take action, so he could only leave the matter to Wei Zheng, who would handle it.
After all, Li Xiuning is Chai Lingwu's mother, and Chai Lingwu is his student and son-in-law, and is deeply loved by his mother.
He really didn't dare to offend this student Chai Lingwu.
He was afraid that Chai Lingwu would invite his mother to embarrass him, and he was also afraid that Chai Lingwu would settle the score with his daughter in the future, so he didn't want to get involved with anything that might offend Chai Lingwu.
He is not an upright person like Li Gang, and he cannot risk everything for the justice in his heart.
For the sake of accepting students, he can be regarded as a unique talent in the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng's memorial to impeach Yang Miaoyan and Li Xiuning was very informative, and he and the imperial censors were ready to challenge Li Yuanji. After submitting the memorial, they waited quietly for Li Yuanji to defend his wife and sister.
It's a pity that after Li Yuanji got the memorial, he just glanced at it briefly and threw it aside. Then when Wei Zheng stood up and prepared to speak out, he said calmly: "Master Li wants to beg for bones. I believe all you dear friends already know that." Even though I repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay and went to his door in person to persuade him, Mr. Li still insisted on going.
It can be said that Mr. Li has worked very hard for me in the Tang Dynasty. I really can’t bear to see him leave. Is there any good way you can help me keep Mr. Li?"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng's words were choked back in his throat, and he sat down again in embarrassment.
No matter how big the matter between Yang Miaoyan, Li Xiuning, and Yang Yicheng is, it is still a matter between women, and there is no way to compare it with Li Gang's begging for bones.
So as soon as Li Gang's incident came out, Wei Zheng couldn't talk about Yang Miaoyan anymore, and Li Xiuning couldn't even say a word.
Besides, that would be an insult to Li Gang and a hero of the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, it will not be him who impeaches others, but the civil and military officials of the court who will denounce him.
