After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Ying Shu didn't care about Sikong Beichen's current mood and continued: "There are differences between the two cases, but there are more similarities. The key point is the clarity of human ethics and etiquette. I thought that both cases were actually OK. avoid.

First of all, the distinction between maids and concubines should be more clearly stipulated in etiquette and law. Although concubines have a lower status than concubines, they are obviously different from ordinary maids. If they are bought as concubines, they should abide by ethics. Father Elders should not be coerced, and of course sons and nephews should never have an affair with their father's concubine. A maid is a maid and a concubine is a concubine. They cannot be confused with each other anymore.

Secondly, private killing must be strictly prohibited. In the past, the law stipulated that adultery should be punished by death, and killing was innocent. This would encourage private killing. Encouraging private killing would lead to all kinds of disasters. For example, in the case of Yu Lingcheng, if Without the rules of private killing, he would not have accidentally killed his father. Even if his scandal was revealed, he would not have caused such an uproar.

Nu thought that His Highness the Crown Prince should reprimand Yu Lingcheng, remove him from office, and propose to amend the law to prevent such a human tragedy from happening again, and not allow this case to cause more controversy. "

"But because of father Yu Luan's evil deeds, is it enough to be dismissed from office?" the third prince said solemnly.

"In the final analysis, the purpose of imposing punishment is to warn the subjects. The crime of Yu Lingcheng was caused by the imperfect etiquette and law. I would like to ask Your Highness, if the etiquette and law clearly stipulate that it is an evil act in vain to take care of human relations, will Yu Gong still return the crime? Will he knowingly commit the crime?"

The third prince also frowned.

No matter how lustful Yu Duo was, he really didn't commit adultery with his son-in-law. He just thought that Zhao was a concubine, and Yu Luan should have been filial to him first. He was not angry at Yu Luan for placing Zhao outside, and believed that this was not related to Zhao. There is a difference between adultery…

"Although Yu Lingcheng harbors hatred for Mr. Yu, he will definitely not kill his father. His crime of patricide was also out of ignorance. Is it really such an unforgivable crime to be dissatisfied with his father for repeatedly forcing concubines? Yu Lingcheng accidentally killed his father. Chief, in the final analysis, it is because the law allows private killing, and his malicious intent is not strong, so being dismissed from office is enough of a warning."

After Yingshu said this, she looked at her eyes, nose and heart again.

Sikong Tong sat down again at this time and said in a cold voice: "You two are both princes, but your worries are not as far-reaching as my middle daughter's history. Prince, you only care about how to excuse Yu Luan and keep his official position, but I have never thought about how this case happened. What do civil and military officials and ordinary people care about most? Aren't the etiquette, laws, and discipline of a country more important than the mere grabbing of the position of Prime Minister of the East Palace?

Not only do you not think that Yu Duo's case is a scandal of human relations, you even want to extend it to the Imperial Family's Imperial Rebellion. Do you think that Zhang Yin and the Zhao family colluded to kill Yu Duo and put the blame on Yu Luan? Then I ask you , Did Yu Duo know that Zhao was Yu Luan's concubine, and did he threaten Zhao to commit herself to him? Did Yu Luan know that as the Prime Minister of the East Palace, he could not act so hastily? When he thrust out that sword , have you ever thought about it for the sake of you, the prince? "

Sikong Beichen swallowed hard and said "I'm sorry" again.

The emperor then looked at his other son: "When your eldest brother is in trouble, you not only don't know how to share his worries, but you are always busy adding insult to injury. Of course, there is no brotherhood in your eyes. You brothers are so suspicious of each other. How can I trust you with peace of mind?!

Listen up, there is only one future king, but the country must rely on the concerted efforts of you! A single tree cannot support a dilapidated building, and the Sikong royal family has declined to this point. It is all due to the evil of the imperial wall, and the destruction of flesh and blood. If you do not learn the lesson... The rule of Dayu will inevitably be wiped out. Jiangdong will continue to be a scorched earth. Who is the king and who is the minister? They are all nothing more than slaves to the subjugation of their country! "

His Majesty the Emperor was heartbroken. He really didn't know how much his two sons could hear. That day he watched the autumn sunset gradually disappearing at the foot of the mountain. At this time, he already knew that in the original destiny trajectory, the heavy autumn sunset was just like him. Time, like a lifetime, his time has come to evening.

There seemed to be no moment of high spirits in his life.

In the past, he was walking on thin ice and had difficulty protecting himself. Now, he is holding on to half of the country, but he has become a loner.

"Dixiu, come and pour me some wine."

In the high pavilion, dusk has not yet come, the palace lanterns have been lit, and the west wind has brought a cool feeling. It seems that he has experienced a journey of thousands of rivers and mountains, and also like a person who has lived to the end of his life and exhausted all his enthusiasm. Sikong Tong thought of his mother and concubine, when she was ill. It was on such an autumn evening, holding the hidden bag and leaning against the screen window, I didn't know who I was talking to, but my mother-in-law was extremely gentle.

"When people are reborn, they will cry bitterly. This is the remaining Meng Po Tang in the body. Only after crying has been wiped out, will the previous life be completely forgotten. Childhood knows joy but does not know sorrow. Gradually, joy and sorrow come. Human history The more things happened, the more lonely I felt, and gradually I became more sad and less happy. Such joys and sorrows alternated, and the past and present life seemed to have an endless ending and beginning."

At that time, he could not understand his mother's words. When he did, he had been deprived of the right to be happy.

He should know better than anyone the hardships of walking on thin ice, so he always showed tolerance and understanding to the queen and the prince. To this day, in fact, he still misses those relatives. When they are around, at least he can still relax and still He could sleep peacefully, feel comforted by the smiles of his wife and children, pay attention to the withering of vegetation, cry bitterly after getting drunk, and lie in bed for three days. He could be sad or cowardly, unlike now, where he forced himself to Reborn, he not only lost his joy, but also suppressed his sad emotions.

Sikong Tong was particularly depressed today, but when he looked at Ying Shu, he felt somewhat at ease.

"You didn't plead for Mrs. Zhao this time," Que said.

Yingshu gently put down the pot and bit her lip.

"There is no need to worry. There are not many people around me who dare to tell the truth."

"Uncle will not forgive Zhao." Yingshu had no choice but to say.

"Well, she is determined to put Yu Luan to death."

"Zhao is not seeking wealth, she should be seeking revenge. But what confuses me is what is the deep hatred between her and Yu Lingcheng."

"It's not important anymore." Sikong Tong looked at the approaching night, feeling even more depressed in his chest, and suddenly said: "Ms. Zhao will not die."

Yingshu was stunned.

But Sikong Tong only focused on drinking again. Ying Shu, whether as a junior or as a middle-aged female historian, could not persuade her, so she had to ask the regular attendant: "The eunuch, please ask Empress Li Bin to come."

"Why Li Bin?" Changshi Zhong was surprised.

Yingshu blinked: "It's hard for Empress Jian to come forward now, otherwise even Mr. Xinsu will suffer a disaster. The Seventh Prince is still young, and Empress Li is the most concerned about Abo's well-being, and only Empress Li is, Only then did she dare to compete with Uncle for a drink, and in turn asked Uncle to prevent her from getting drunk."

Changshi Zhong looked at this eccentric woman, and his heart was filled with joy.

Mrs. Xie won't mention it anymore because she is competing for the heirloom but not for favor. Although Jian Concubine is indifferent, she is too indifferent. Yu Luan's case has nothing to do with Xinsu Lord, so Jian Concubine is afraid of avoiding him. Shi Concubine is also very close to Ying Shu, but Shi Concubine is also very close to Ying Shu. She has not yet completely given up her addiction to Wu Shi Powder, and is even more resistant to the matter of sleeping with her than in the past. It may not be helpful to invite her here; Empress Qiao is the biological mother of His Highness the Fifth Prince, so Yingshu should help Qiao Concubine win favor, but that In this position... I only have Chen Junxie in my eyes, and there is no king of the country; Concubine Liu Shu is almost the same as Concubine Qiao, but she is loyal to the queen.

Among the concubines, there is indeed only Empress Li. She is not competing for favors for anything else, not for power, not to rule the harem. She is just to spend time with His Majesty, spending time together day and night. Concubine Li has Jiang Donglu at her back. It was Ying Shu's maternal clan, but it was Ying Shu who she was most wary of. She tried her best to match Ying Shu with the fifth prince. Sometimes her words were so obvious that His Majesty was amused by her. However, Li Bin didn't notice at all and just said ——If His Majesty really accepted Di Xiu as his harem, Wulang would be so pitiful.

Li Bin is not without scheming, all her scheming is used on His Majesty.

Zhong Changshi felt that besides himself, the only person who could understand Li Bin was Wang Wuniang.

Sikong Beichen fully followed Yingshu's suggestion and settled Yu Luan's parricide case. For a time, no one in the court or in the market really talked about the scandal of the descendants anymore. Everyone was only concerned about the revision of etiquette. Whether private killings should no longer be allowed in the future, the scholar's literary meeting also debated the revision of etiquette and laws. There were even many scholars who strongly agreed with the "Prince's" idea.

Inside Taicheng, it's a different world.

Queen Yu was so angry that she fell ill. She could not accept such a "defeat". Yu Luan was dismissed, but the three princes were unscathed. However, Sikong Beichen was too lazy to talk to Queen Yu. In the end, Queen Yu recovered from her illness in time. .

Among those who pay special attention to Yu Duo's case, Liang must be mentioned.

On this day, she made an appointment with the prince, and the place was Chunfeng Temple - Buddhism first emerged in Henan. In order to spread the teachings, many Buddhist temples in Henan actually had people singing and dancing to attract believers with a joyful atmosphere and make the poor Forget about worries for the moment, and then slowly learn about Buddhist principles. At this time, Buddhists can even marry wives and take concubines, so naturally they will not reject female believers.

Chunfeng Temple is adjacent to Qinhuaili. When the spring breeze does not flow, there are also cotinus trees all over the slope to enjoy. Liang made an appointment with the prince here after careful consideration - not to avoid the public eye, and Dayu did not pay much attention to the defense of men and women. Only open and honest meetings will avoid being stigmatized by others, and evasive secret meetings will lead to the suspicion of being a person in a melon field. What Liang is worried about is making a fool of himself.

The previous time she used Yin Yan to frame Tian, ​​it actually failed. Although His Majesty did not pursue that incident, Liang still felt uneasy in her heart. Her life was starting over, but it seemed that too many things had changed, like Wang Yingshu actually became a female official, another example is the recent incident.

Mrs. Liang knew that Yu Luan died strangely.

Back then, before Yu Luan died, she had already executed Mr. Tian. Her relationship with Sikong Yuehu was like a string that was about to break due to tension. She was unwilling to be left out and abandoned, so she thought of many ways. After all, she still had a heart. Concubine Su, as long as Sikong Yuehu is in the house, she has the means to find out which hall or pavilion Sikong Yuehu is in, who he is seeing, and whether it is appropriate to eavesdrop.

With constant efforts, Liang successfully eavesdropped on Sikong Yuehu's interview with a mysterious man.

But she couldn't hear it clearly, and she could only vaguely catch a few key words such as "Zhao", "Yu Duo" and "incest". Later, she asked about what happened in Yu Luan's house. Based on those clues, Liang deduced a story. A result that she herself could hardly believe.

She suspected that Yu Luan's later absurd behavior was forced by Yu Duo. Although Zhao was Yu Luan's concubine, the son born to Zhao should be of Yu Duo's blood! Yu Luan couldn't bear the blow, so she started drinking heavily. After being drunk, she killed herself. When Yu Duo also died, both Zhao and the concubine immediately "died" of illness.

Zhao is a key person. Although Liang can't figure out why she wants to take revenge on Yu Luan, it is obvious that Zhao is a reborn person. She seems to have left Yu Luan a way out this time, but she certainly did not really let Yu Luan go. , Zhao clearly expanded the scope of the attack.

In her previous life, Mrs. Liang would not have paid attention to this matter, but now her thoughts are different. If she wants to use the prince's hand to cut off Xinyue Fox, she must ensure that the prince ascends the throne smoothly like in her previous life. Nothing is wrong with her. Because the changes she promoted may cause obstacles to the prince, Liang has put all her chips in the East Palace. Of course, she hopes that the prince will believe her words and be wary of Xinyuehu.

But about the rebirth, Mrs. Liang did not dare to tell the prince. In her previous life, she only had eyes for Sikong Yuehu and lacked understanding of Sikong Beichen. She believed that Sikong Beichen was nothing more than a person who liked the new and hated the old. She had no intention of the prince. , now she is not as obsessed with being a couple for the rest of her life as she was in her previous life, but in order to realize her wish, she must win for the prince's favor.

She told the prince that she was a reborn person, and she also had to tell the prince that she was married to Sikong Yuehu in her previous life. Although she personally rejected the marriage after her rebirth, she could not explain why she fell in love with someone else after her rebirth. She did not dare Let the prince know that she only regards him as a tool for revenge.

Ms. Liang had too many concerns, so she had to think of other ways to achieve the purpose of reminder.

"I have taken the liberty of making an appointment with Your Highness today because of one thing. I can't even think about it at ease." This was Liang's opening remarks.
