Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 204 Is That Sloppy Old Way (Part [-])
"Tell me what's going on." Qin Qiong asked with a cold face.

Jin Yu also had a headache, and before he could settle down in Qingxiazi after returning home, someone from the Qin family came to invite him, saying that the old lady missed her daughter, and let him stay for two days.

"There was a fight." Seeing Qin Qiong's complexion, Jin Yu felt very guilty, lost his arrogance in front of Zhou Tingwu, and looked down at his own toes.

"For a woman? Is it worth it?" Although Chang'an City is large, the speed of gossip spread has not been slowed down by the city at all.In less than an hour, it was rumored that someone fought with Zhou Tingwu because of a woman's rivalry.It's true that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin conspired to have a concubine with Jin Yu, but they didn't expect Jin Yu to be so high-profile, how would Yang Ying deal with herself?

"Ah? Who do you always listen to nonsense?" Jin Yu sweated profusely, and quickly told Qin Qiong what he really wanted.

"So you're acting out of righteousness?" Qin Qiong was relieved after hearing Jin Yu explain the matter clearly, but he still beat Jin Yu and said, "If you treat Ying Er badly in the future, I won't obey you!"

"How can my son-in-law do such a thing?" Jin Yu saw that Qin Qiong's face had improved, so he quickly made a promise.

"The old demon ``` who is the old man? Is it worth your trouble?" After figuring out the whole story, Qin Qiong felt that it was not worth it for Jinyu to provoke such a mess for an old man.

"The old demon```The old man is Yuan Tiangang's uncle. Yuan Tiangang entrusted his son-in-law to take care of him a few days ago, so he never thought something would happen so soon." Although Jin Yu didn't like the old man's abilities other than medical skills, How can someone have a nephew who is kind to him?

"Oh? But the person who told you about the current affairs in Tubo?" Qin Qiong felt that it was worth it when he heard that he was Yuan Tiangang's uncle.

"Uh ```" Jin Yu touched his nose, which was a sign of lying, "It's him." Jin Yu hesitated and admitted.If the current situation really develops to the point that I know in the future, wouldn't I become a great prophet?It's better for this kind of role to be pretended by a professional magician, and I'm not afraid that Qingxiazi will disagree, and it will probably be resolved by blackmailing Little Tomato.

"Stinky boy! You've gotten better at it! One person has dealt with a dozen or so big men. This is the limelight, tsk tsk``````" Cheng Yaojin was not slow to come over, and he was yelling outside from a distance, afraid No one else knew he was here.

"My nephew is not as good as Uncle Cheng, in case Uncle Cheng doesn't want to amuse my nephew." Cheng Yaojin came at the right time and solved Jin Yu's embarrassment. Jin Yu hurriedly welcomed Cheng Yaojin to the study, Serve tea in person.

"Your brother came just in time. The old man didn't have much contact with Zhou Shaofan at that time. You seemed to be with him in the left guard before?" Although Qin Qiong had sent someone out to inquire about Zhou Tingwu's affairs, he hadn't come back at this time, so he said Cheng Yaojin came just in time.

Hearing what Qin Qiong wanted to ask, Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to hide anything, and told what he knew, "Although Lao Zhou is a direct descendant of the Zhou family in Runan, and his ancestors are honorable enough, he is very low-key." Although it was a secret discussion, But Cheng Yaojin maintained his respect for Li Er, without naming his name, pointed to the sky with his finger, and said: "Although he has made some contributions, that person still doesn't trust him, otherwise our brothers will all seal him up." It’s been several years, why is it his turn now?”

"Still low-key? Why did the Runan Zhou family have never been bullied like this when the kid left?" Jin Yu worried that the two old men underestimated the enemy, and muttered softly.

Hearing what Jin Yu said, Qin Qiong was even more delighted. His Majesty didn't know which medicine he had taken wrongly. In the court, some people from the major clans didn't like to see them. , It seems that the good days of the clan are not many years away.Qin Qiong thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth. Jin Yu's words were what Cheng Yaojin said, and for the sake of Lao Cheng's face, he also reprimanded him: "How can you interrupt when the elders talk? Stand aside and stay!"

Jin Yu was already standing, so he could only stand aside and continue loading wood.

"Go ahead." After Qin Qiong reprimanded Jinyu, she signaled Cheng Yaojin to continue.

"Although Lao Zhou is now with the imperial guards, they are not close-fitting at all. They are stationed outside the city. In this way, they have a young son raised in the palace. On the surface, it is the favor of the hero, but in fact it is Hostage." Although Cheng Yaojin said that he was big and rough, but his mind was not stupid at all, he analyzed Zhou Shaofan thoroughly through superficial matters.

"That's good. I believe Duke Qiao doesn't want to make a fuss about this matter." Qin Qiong thought about it, a son-in-law is half a son, Jinyu has no direct elders, so when encountering such a thing, Qin Qiong will make his own decisions . "Tomorrow, the old man will personally visit Duke Qiao."

Qin Qiong's side set the tone, and Zhou Shaofan's side was not idle either.Although it was my son who provoked the trouble, it was also my son who suffered and got beaten in the end!

Zhou Shaofan is low-key and true, but many of them are pretending to be seen by outsiders.Many ministers in the court had inextricable connections with the previous dynasty, but most of them were single-minded, and divided into factions in their own families. Some waited and watched, some supported Li Shimin, and some secretly contacted Yang Guangyu's faction.If I hadn't performed well all along, I wouldn't have been able to sit in such an important position.

Clan members have their own pride, that is, the current royal family. Some clans think that their blood is impure and look down on them.Zhou Shaofan also has this kind of pride in his bones, but he can't express it because he is mixed in the court.

Regarding the matter of his youngest son, even if Li Er is very kind, Zhou Shaofan also knows the meaning of representative. Although the third child of Li Yifeng's family is also raised in the palace, but he is a personal bodyguard, and his grade is not high, but there is a difference of [-] miles , Zhou Shaofan is still very clear about this.Unless he dies or does not become this general, it is possible for father and son to reunite.

This son of mine was destined to become a prince, and he was negligent in disciplining him to the point where he is today. Of course, there are also factors of his intentional connivance.As a close minister of the emperor, he holds a lot of power, so he can't have nothing at all. Only by making small mistakes in life that are acceptable can he win the trust of the emperor.It was also because I did this intentionally that I finally got the title of Lord Qiaojun.

Many of the mistakes Zhou Tingwu made in the past were aimed at wealthy sons with no background.Who is Jinyu?Zhou Shaofan is still very clear, because he participated in the use of troops against the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, but he was stationed in Taiyuan as a backup, and he did not go to the front line.It was also because Jin Yu captured Jieli Khan alive that he ended the campaign early, so he didn't even have the opportunity to show his face to fight for merit.

"What's going on?" Zhou Shaofan looked at his son with distress, but the matter still needs to be clarified.

"The child is like this, you still ask! No matter how serious the fault is, it is your eldest son!" Zhou Cui was not happy, and said a word for his trembling son.

"Tingwu kicked the iron plate this time!" Zhou Shaofan didn't dare to speak too harshly about his daughter-in-law, because her natal family is the Cui family of Boling!It's true that everyone's ancestors were nobles, who let the Zhou family in Runan gradually decline?

"Isn't he just a doctor of Guozijian? How great can it be?" Nobles actually only talk about bloodlines, not that all noble members have high EQ and IQ. This Zhou Cui family is not smart enough, so it's hard for Zhou Shaofan to endure her for so many years .

"Alas! Madam doesn't know that His Majesty now values ​​Jin Guitang very much. No one can match his grace. He is already an earl before he is a weak crown. If it weren't for the opposition in the court Too many, I'm afraid the lowest is a marquis now!" Zhou Shaofan patiently explained to his wife, who made him rely on her maiden now?This is also impossible.

"Then what should I do?" Zhou Cui was also a little flustered. The world was stable at the beginning, and Li's power was too great to be shaken by nobles like them. She had listened to Zhou Shaofan talking about this a lot, so she naturally accepted it. "Isn't it possible to negotiate, ask, and reduce the affairs? Shouldn't you be whipped?"

"You can negotiate, invite, and reduce the affairs, and it's okay if Jin returns to Tang." Zhou Shaofan shook his head and said, in fact, it is not the time to think about how to reduce the punishment. The government servants have already given enough time, which means to let the negotiation be resolved. Both sides can't afford to offend, and they don't want to be this villain. "Madam, let's go out first, and the old man will ask Ting Wu later."

Zhou Cuishi is a domineering master, usually nothing more than that, but now Zhou Shaofan has a serious face, and she is not blind at all. After repeatedly telling Zhou Tingwu to answer well, she walked out of the study step by step.

Looking at his son's miserable appearance, Zhou Shaofan also felt a little guilty. If he hadn't deliberately indulged and used his son, how could he be where he is today?But then again, by doing this, isn't it also for him to have a good title in the future?
"Sit down and talk." Zhou Shaofan waved his hand and asked Zhou Tingwu, who had been standing all the time, to sit down. Then he asked, "Tell me the whole thing from beginning to end."

Zhou Tingwu didn't dare to hide anything, so he confessed everything honestly.

After listening to his son's words, Zhou Shaofan had even more headaches. This is not Zhou Tingwu bringing the evil slaves to commit murder, but bringing his own active soldiers!What is this concept?If there are more than three people in the army, they must report to the police. This is especially strict in the forbidden army!If this matter becomes serious, at least he will be accused of lax military management, and his years of hard work will be in vain.

"Come on, prepare the horse!" Zhou Shaofan ordered weakly.

"It's so late, where is the master going?" Zhou Cui was afraid of the old man's attack, so he walked out of the study and did not leave, but waited for "fire fighting".

"Wipe your son's ass``````" Zhou Shaofan walked out quickly after saying this, now is not the time to entangle with the wife, it is fundamental to deal with the matter earlier.

(Discussion, request, reduction, people with privileged status in the Tang Dynasty can adopt the channel of lighter punishment when breaking the law, which is similar to the eight points in the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the Tang Dynasty generally adopted whipping punishment for non-criminal crimes. This has a profound impact on the laws of later generations. Ancient Japan and Vietnam basically copied the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and even Singapore today has followed the tradition of flogging.)
