"Baiqisi" paid close attention to the developments in Chang'an City. As soon as Fang Jun's violent beating of Dou Dewei at the dock ended, the spies here compiled the detailed information into a document and sent it to the palace.
His Majesty Li Er looked at it and felt a little bored...
The emperor's mental skills have long been as perfect as His Majesty Li Er, how could he not see the support of some people behind Dou Dewei? Otherwise, it would have given him the courage to seduce Fang Jun's woman?
But it may be that Dou Dewei got some benefits and agreed to something, so he had to find trouble with Fang Jun, but he didn't dare to fight with real swords and guns in the open fire, so he just used unsavory methods like teasing Fang Jun's concubine. To show his position. Anyway, Fang Jun is not in Beijing. Even if Fang Jun comes back afterwards, the worst is that Dou Dewei hides at home and does not show up. What can Fang Jun do to him?
But the unlucky Fang Jun came back just at this time...
The tragedy happened like this.
His Majesty Li Er became more and more certain that this was the truth of the matter. At the same time, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Dou family. First, Dou De was hiding on the Wei River and was crashed by Fang Jun. The boat almost drowned, and now Dou Dewei was whipped by Fang Jun in full view of everyone. It's humiliating that Dou Shaoxuan actually came to the palace to complain about such a small matter. The whole family is not worthy of publicity...
His Majesty Li Er closed his mouth and looked at Dou Shaoxuan with his eyes expressionless and not angry.
Dou Shaoxuan's heart trembled. He knew that Fang Junjian was very favored by His Majesty in the Emperor's heart, but this time he had to go to His Majesty to complain about Fang Junjian.
In terms of strength and skill, Dou Shaoxuan knew how to defeat the Fang family.
However, the Dou family has suffered such a shame and humiliation. If they don't save their face, they may become a laughing stock. If they want to save their face, they can only hope for your majesty's support. Although Fang Jun is a favorite minister and the emperor's son-in-law, the Dou family does not Poor? We are serious relatives! When your Li family won the throne, our Dou family contributed a lot of money and efforts. In terms of merit, it is not necessarily worse than the Fang family, right?
Thinking this way, Dou Shaoxuan felt a little confident.
He took a step forward and knelt at the feet of His Majesty Li Er. His nose and tears almost flowed out in an instant, and he wailed: "Your Majesty! Our Dou family has always been law-abiding and abiding by their duties. He acts recklessly because he knows that today's wealth is all due to God's grace, and he doesn't dare to get carried away even a little bit. But Fang Jun is simply vicious. In the past, Wei Chen's nephew Dou Dezang almost drowned in the Wei River, and now he has To have Wei Chen's son break his legs and whip him in public is simply insane and lawless! Your Majesty, Wei Chen begs you to uphold justice, punish Fang Jun severely, and give my Dou family justice!"
Fang Jun curled his lips.
This Dou Shaoxuan is quite good at saying that it is all their own fault, and all the faults are Fang Jun's. If according to what he said, Fang Jun is exactly the Tang Dynasty version of Gao Yanei, a cancer that will not be enough to inflame the common people. …
His Majesty Li Er, his face as cold as frost, said without even raising his eyelids: "Fang Jun, how can I defend myself? Is what Duke Qi said true?"
Fang Jun took his time and saluted His Majesty Li Er respectfully, and then said: "Return to Your Majesty, justice is in the heart of the people, and it cannot be done by just talking. Dou Dewei teased the family members of the ministers in full view of the public, using frivolous words and gestures. , as despicable as a gangster in the market! Wei Chen was so angry that he stepped forward to argue. Dou Dewei actually wanted to trample Wei Chen with his horse. Fortunately, the navy soldiers around Wei Chen were eager to protect him and cut off the front legs of his strong horse. Dou Dewei was killed by the horse. The broken leg was an accident. It was not my intention, and I deeply regret it. As for the move to flog Dou Dewei, it was actually a man who spoke nonsense and spewed feces, humiliating my concubine. Wu Meiniang was given to me by His Majesty. The palace maid represents the majesty of His Majesty, and everyone in the Fang family respects her with great respect, and would never dare to treat her lightly just because she is a concubine. Dou Dewei dared to humiliate Wu Meiniang in public, and he must have no respect for His Majesty. Naturally, I want to teach Duke Qi a lesson. Otherwise, if there are rumors in the market that the Dou family relies on heaven's grace and does not want to serve the court, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the Dou family? This action of Wei Chen is really for the sake of the Dou family. .”
Mother!
Dou Shaoxuan's head was almost fuming with anger. Why the hell are you still thinking about the Dou family? This eloquent mouth not only completely shied away the responsibility, but also pushed all the shit onto the Dou family's head. Really
How shameless!
However, while being angry, Dou Shaoxuan also discovered a fatal question with horror. That concubine was actually the maid given to Fang Jun by His Majesty?
Dou Shaoxuan couldn't remember that he didn't care much about Fang Jun before. He always thought that he was just a dandy who acted recklessly relying on his father Fang Xuanling's reputation and the emperor's favor. Sooner or later, he would be forgotten by everyone...
If this is really the case, that would be a bad thing!
Dou Dewei, the concubine given by the emperor, uttered evil words. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face? Not only will this matter not save face, but it will also make His Majesty feel disgusted. There are not many holy concubines in the Dou family.
It will be weakened by three points again...
Dou Dewei panicked and said quickly: "Your Majesty, these are just Fang Jun's words. Your Majesty cannot believe them easily!"
His Majesty Li Er glared at Fang Jun, thinking that the little bastard is really full of nonsense, so why did Dou Dewei ever insult Wu Meiniang? However, he had already made a plan in his mind, thinking that even if the support of those behind Dou Dewei was excluded, Dou Dewei alone would
The methods used are disgraceful.
His Majesty Li Er does not hate dandy boys. He himself is also a dandy. He was a domineering master in Chang'an City back then. If he is like Fang Jun, he will fight back anyone who bullies me, and he will fight with anyone who is strong. This is not professional.
Your Majesty Li Er may look down upon you if you pick on the weak. If you go to flirt with a concubine to seduce Fang Jun, that would be too shameful.
After thinking for a moment, His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice: "Since Qi Guo Gong wants to severely punish Fang Jun, he should report it to the official and order Lantian County to accept the case. He must not favor any party. If the matter of Fang Jun's beating is true, then he will be punished in accordance with the law."
"Similarly, if the origin of the matter lies with Dou Dewei, and Dou Dewei made frivolous and insulting remarks first, Lantian County will not only punish them according to the law, but also let Zongzheng Temple intervene and severely punish the two of them."
The Dou family is a relative, and Fang Jun is the consort. If these two violate the rules, Zongzheng Temple will take care of them.
But Dou Dewei was dumbfounded.
Lantian County dares to interfere with the fight between a prince and a son of the prime minister's family? If someone is killed, maybe he can't do it. Now it's just a fight. Lantian County is stupid enough to be willing to meddle in other people's business.
There must be no offense between you and Xini.
As for Zongzheng Temple...
The chief minister of Zongzheng Temple didn't care at all. The person in charge was Prince Zongzheng, Prince of Han Li Yuanjia. Prince of Han Li Yuanjia was Fang Jun's biological brother-in-law. Moreover, the Prince of Han had a quarrel with his concubine Fang and returned to his natal family. Fang Jun stood up for his sister and set foot in Prince Han's palace.
The incident has caused quite a stir, so Han Wang Li Yuanjia dares to punish Fang Jun severely?
This is obviously partiality!
If His Majesty's seemingly fair process is followed, it's hard to say whether Fang Jun has something wrong, and Dou Dewei might even get dozens of slaps from Zongzheng Temple...
Dou Shaoxuan immediately withered.
It is obvious that His Majesty is partial to Fang Jun, what else can he do?
The thing that the Dou family needs to pay attention to now is not whether they can regain their face, but how to find a way to recover His Majesty's neglect of the Dou family. Although those Guanlong families are in the same spirit as the Dou family, who can't be trusted by His Majesty?
Will you still deal with the Dou family?
Or maybe... it is precisely because the Dou family is too close to the Guanlong family that His Majesty is disgusted?
Dou Shao
His Majesty Li Er nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. The younger generations are fighting among each other. As elders, we shouldn't get too involved. Maybe tomorrow these little bastards will just drink and have fun? You,
Put your mind on doing business, as long as you are loyal to me and the empire, I will definitely trust you, so why be stingy with rewards?"
It means something.
Dou Shaoxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he could naturally hear His Majesty's implication that he was extremely dissatisfied with the Dou family's alliance with all the Guanlong families!
Ignoring the cold sweat on his forehead, Dou Shaoxuan said quickly: "I have realized my mistake. I will definitely be diligent in my duties from now on, upright and upright, and live up to your majesty's trust!"
Come on, express your position quickly and draw a clear line with the Guanlong family in the future, otherwise, your majesty may start to operate on the Dou family tomorrow...
Even if everyone sticks together, His Majesty can be defeated. If the Dou family faces His Majesty's vitality, wouldn't they be seeking death?
His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly, looking very satisfied, and waved his hand: "Okay, you go back first, I will send someone to your house later to deliver some medicinal materials, and tell your son to take good care of himself, and not to cause trouble in the future.
.”
Dou Shaoxuan saluted and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Turning around and taking a look at Fang Jun, Dou Shaoxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this guy standing there with a dark face expressionless.
From now on, the Dou family will have to keep a low profile. If the Holy Family is gone, what else can they rely on as relatives?
