After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Since it was Yingshu who convinced Aunt Ren that she could no longer adopt the strategy of calming things down and break up with Qiao Ke and Qiao Ji, she would of course be responsible for the arrangements. In her previous life, in order to help Sikong Beichen suppress the wealthy family, she had accumulated a wealth of " "Combat" experience can now be used to deal with Qiao Ke, Yang Bao and the like, and it is almost useless.

"My mother was close friends with Ren Nvjun and Mrs. Xie, and the ridiculous words and deeds about Yang Taijun were not only spread in the market, but even spread to Zhaoyang Palace. It was Mrs. Xie who invited Xunnujun to enter. Palace, warned not to listen to instigation, that's why Xun Nujun asked Xie Baniang to learn from Ren Nujun to become proficient in piano art and music. This is not because Xun Nujun's piano skills are inferior to Ren Nujun, but in this way, I would like to teach everyone in the world to understand that there is no discord between the two surnames Xie and Qiao.

My mother had always been in contact with Ren Nujun, and she liked Xie Ba Niang’s cheerful temperament, so she went to stay in the Villa owned by her best friend. I asked Uncle Pingyi, Qiao Shilang and Yang Gong. There were already guests living in Moling Villa at that time, so Ren How could the female monarch slander the Yang Taijun in front of her best friends and students?

And it just so happened that on that day, I went to the county government to reward Liu Niang's dowry under the holy order, and I met Xue Nvjun, so I also heard Xue Nvjun describe in detail a debate with Yang Taijun. At that time, Yang Taijun However, it was not said that Ren Nujun instructed her to propose marriage to Xun Nujun, but she called Prince Qiao Fang the person who gave the instruction. Xue Nujun even said that she was entrusted by Xie Shilang to fight against Xun Nujun, so after careful consideration Analyze and tell others, firstly, Yang Taijun’s words and deeds are self-determined, secondly, Xunnujun has never criticized Yangtaijun angrily.

But what did Minister Qiao say just now? Mr. Qiao said, your wife He Nvjun pointed out that Xue Nvjun was ordered by Ren Nvjun to accuse Yang Taijun in public... What Nvjun He said was untrue and obviously slandered his eldest sister-in-law. He Nvjun was guilty of seven crimes. He talked too much, causing disharmony in the family. Who should be the queen who should be abandoned? But Pingyi Bo believed one side of the story and wrongly blamed the queen. How could Prince Qiao obey his father's orders? ! "

Qiao Xi is a man who has always followed Qiao Ke's brain, but it is fair to say that he is not a lecherous person, especially he is really "loyal" to Mr. He. Since marrying Mr. He, he has He simply sold off the two original concubines. Judging from the situation, he was determined to be with He for the rest of his life. How could he tolerate He being divorced?

When a stupid person is in a hurry, he becomes even more stupid.

"Which of my daughters-in-law from the Qiao family in Pingyi should be divorced for committing seven crimes is decided by the clan leader! My father is the clan leader with the surname Qiao. His surname has nothing to do with it. Even His Majesty cannot forcefully interfere."

"This is the Tingwei's Office, not the Prince's Mansion in Pingyi." Yingshu was extremely scornful of Qiao Xi: "It is said that this is a marriage alliance between noble families. Even common people, if they marry a woman, they will be treated as the official wife. , how can a wife be thrown away at will without committing the crime of seven divorces? What does it mean that the patriarch of a clan can assert seven divorces? What authority does Pingyi Bo have to update the rules of seven divorces? If the old woman has the right to issue a divorce letter to her daughter-in-law, Ping Yi will Why did Yibo force the prince to have a wife? Pingyibo himself brought the family affairs to the Tingwei Office. Why, does Qiao Shilang think that the Tingwei Office decreed that His Majesty could not interfere, but that Pingyi Bo should be the one to act arbitrarily?

And I have to remind Mr. Qiao that Ren Nujun is not only your daughter-in-law of Pingyi Qiao, but also the destined wife of Dayu, and the wife of the prince of Pingyi Bofu. If your wife, He, framed the prince's wife, it would be against the law. , Of course, Minister Qiao doesn't have to stay married, but it can't prevent the punishment according to the national law. "

Gu Geng wanted to laugh a little.

In fact, the key to this case is not whether Nujun Ren instructed Taijun Yang to propose marriage to Chenjun, and whether Nujun Ren slandered Taijun Yang, to put it bluntly, it doesn't matter - it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. In a noble family, how could any female family member have a dispute in front of outsiders? Since the quarrel happened behind closed doors, there was no definite evidence, and indeed no prominent noble family went to court for a quarrel.

Qiao Ke and Qiao Xi were obviously led into the ditch by Zhongnu Shi.

Gu Geng raised his eyebrows: "Qiao Ziwen, I want to ask you whether your wife really told Uncle Pingyi and falsely accused her concubine. The wife of the prince of Pingyi bribed outsiders to slander her. As for the facts, Xun The female monarch has never had a bad relationship with your brother and sister-in-law, let alone rebuked Mr. Yang?"

Qiao Xi didn't dare to express his anger.

His beloved wife was tired of even sitting for a while, and she wished she could eat three meals a day in bed. She had no time to meddle in such noisy matters. This matter was originally the idea of ​​his father and sister. He discussed with his beloved wife, and his beloved wife The wife didn't even bother to raise her eyebrows and said - My husband wants to be the heir, and I don't object, but don't expect me to take care of everything like my sister-in-law. I am weak and weak, and I can't even socialize. But from now on, I will become the heir to the throne. You eldest lady, should you add more slaves? Anyway, leave the trivial matters to the slave, there are really distinguished guests who need me to entertain, so I can speak earlier so that I can recharge my batteries - but I can't let my love be affected by this accident, otherwise she will definitely not obey!

Qiao Xi had no choice but to use his eyes to silently seek help from his old father.

"Ren's crimes were not limited to slandering her relatives. She also violated the law of jealousy. This jealous woman actually instigated her son Qiao Qian to rape and kill the concubine I gave to Qiao Ming, and destroyed her body. Qiao Huan knew that this woman had a vicious heart, but Qiao Qian was instigated by the jealous woman to commit a great evil that was contrary to human ethics. He actually wanted to protect the vicious woman and the evil son. For this reason, he disobeyed his father. How could such an unfilial son be qualified to inherit the title? How can you be qualified to be ministers of the monarchy and the country! The Qiao family has committed a heinous crime and should be severely punished by the law of the country!"

Qiao Ke finally remembered another charge listed in his petition. He first made an angry accusation, and after finishing speaking, he put his fist against his mouth and coughed violently. It was probably because his body had been exhausted by alcohol and sex, and it was easy to hold back the phlegm. There was phlegm in his chest, and his eyes were red from the phlegm. He looked like he was about to burst into tears: "If it weren't for you, Qiao Fu, who is so obsessed with you, you would rather be that unfaithful, unfilial, and disloyal person who dares to quibble in the execution hall right now. Not only is he still You want to protect your vicious wife and son, and even harm your siblings and younger brothers-in-law. It’s really hard for me to talk about such a family scandal in front of Ting Weiqing!”

Yang Bao also sighed suddenly and shook his head repeatedly: "How could I not know Gongzhi's regret? I am also Fu'er's direct uncle. I think about how filial Fu'er was to Gao Tangzun when his mother was still alive. How close brothers are to each other. It was originally his good fortune to be able to study under Duke Langyi. However, from then on, he became separated from his parents and siblings, and to this situation today... Gongzhi worked for Pingyi Qiaomen. Although it is wise to eliminate relatives due to justice, after all, there is a love between father and son, so how can it not be heartbreaking."

"Father, please calm down. In the past few days, my father has been heartbroken over this case, which has damaged his health. He must never be so sad because of his brother's sin again." Qiao Xi quickly knelt down beside Qiao Ke and comforted him. He looked like an extremely miserable old father.

Yingshu waited for them to act for a while, and if she continued to watch the play, Qiao Ke would immediately droop his eyes with "phlegm", which would be very disgusting. Besides, Qiao Ke's behavior would really make the prince's uncle Ashamed.

"What Yang Gong said just now is obviously accusing my daughter's grandfather of alienating the father-son relationship between Pingyi Bo and the Crown Prince. My grandfather is not here now. As a granddaughter, I will have to refute you on my grandfather's behalf. When I was young, I heard from my elders in the family. I talked about the old friendship with Pingyi Qiao. At that time, Pingyi Gong, the ancestor of Pingyi Bo, followed the instructions of his ancestors and disciplined himself with the four words of benevolence, virtue, loyalty and uprightness. Although he encountered the chaos of the Nine Kings seizing the throne, he never became party to it. Attachment, Duke Qiao of Pingyi is indeed honorable and respected by others.

My grandfather admired the virtues of Duke Qiao of Pingyi and was always willing to have friendship with his uncle. However, Luoyang was trapped and the Qiao family of Pingyi moved south. In order to gain a foothold in the east of the Yangtze River, the uncle of Pingyi swore an oath to my grandfather to assist His Majesty in his restoration. Dayu, for this reason, my grandfather recommended Uncle Pingyi as an official. The friendship between the Wang and Qiao clans is deep. Although my grandfather regards the prince as his nephew, why would he do what you said to sow discord? ?

My grandfather has always hated flatterers like Yang Gong. When he was in office, he once criticized Yang Gong in public, saying that he was neither talented nor evil, and Yang Gong was deposed. This is what Yang Gong calls alienation. ? But Prince Qiao is not in the position of an official, and the decision to depose Yang Gong is not within the power of Prince Qiao, so how can there be any talk of estrangement? Or is it that Mr. Yang is angry that Prince Qiao never interceded with my grandfather on your behalf, thus preventing you from getting a high position and a generous salary? "

"Zhongnu Shi, don't spit on me in the execution hall just because you're protecting Qiao Hu!" Qiao Ke said angrily.

Yingshu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Uncle Pingyi. I have finished refuting Yang Gong, and I will refute you next. But before I refute you, I still have to ask, does Pingyi Uncle really want to sue Prince Qiao for being disobedient and unfilial?" , sue Qiao Qian, your direct grandson violates human ethics?"

"certainly……"

"Okay, I won't ask about the case first. I'll just tell you what your uncle Pingyi just said. You said that you didn't want to bring your family's misfortune to the execution hall, and you didn't want to force your eldest son into a desperate situation. But you The petition submitted to the Tingwei Office has already listed all the charges against the prince, which shows that you are not aware of the ugliness of your family and find it difficult to talk about it in front of Tingweiqing. You actually falsely accuse the prince of Qiao and make excuses. It is not just to kill one's relatives, but since Prince Qiao was sent to the execution hall, where has there been a sophistry? It has always been the courtiers who have been exercising the power of supervising the trial according to His Majesty's order, but Ting Weicheng personally recorded the process, you still want to Is this nonsense?"

"Even though the female envoy is eloquent, she can't exonerate Qiao Huan! I don't believe it. Your majesty is wise, how could you only listen to your words and allow a mere female official of yours to confuse right and wrong!"

"Your Excellency, Ting Wei, can make a clear decision between right and wrong. Didn't I think I should have refuted the Duke Yang's slander of my daughter's grandfather in the execution hall? Could it be that I clearly saw through Pingyi Bo's disguise and shouldn't have exposed him? He had long decided to commit the crime of death for Prince Qiao, and allowed Pingyi Bo and Qiao Shilang to stage a false show of fatherly kindness and sonly filial piety in the execution hall, in an attempt to disrupt the criminal trial with his so-called filial piety, and use his self-usurped outline. Li, is it illegal to break the rules?!"

Gu Geng had not spoken for a long time. He almost forgot that he was the chief judge, and was actually a little fascinated by what he was listening to. At this time, there was already a profession of "lawyer", but after all, it was difficult to get into the elegant hall, especially in the court. When trying a case, it is impossible to allow irrelevant persons to enter the execution hall and make endless excuses.

However, in his free time, Gu Geng often went to the lower-level government offices incognito to see how good the litigants were in arguing. This was his "hobby". Today, Ying Shu, the nominal supervisor of the trial, is actually the defendant's litigator. , Gu Geng listened and forgot what he was doing.

But he was reminded after all.

In today's case, the outcome has been decided clearly. As a court official, he cannot remain mute. The middle-aged woman has "retired" for the time being, and it is time for him to "make his debut".
