I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Madam Wang's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at her with hatred: "Xuan Zun wanted to kill your brother, why didn't you plead for your brother! Why?!"

"Why did you go and kill your brother yourself?!"

Li Qingning laughed angrily: "Plead for mercy? How can I beg? Xuanzun said it clearly. If I don't go to supervise the execution, our whole family will go to the border!"

"Why should I ignore the safety of my parents and help him get away with this?"

Li Qingning said coldly: "No one can shake Xuanzun's will."

"My brother has committed a crime in front of Xuan Zun, and he is doomed to die. If I don't supervise the execution, do I want to let his crime alone drag down the whole family?"

Li Qingning choked up with tears in his eyes and said, "I just made the choice with the least loss."

Mrs. Wang, however, simply refused to listen to her. Her eyes turned red as she pounced on Li Qingning and started beating him.

"Why don't you just die! Why, why isn't it you who's dying!"

Mrs. Wang cried bitterly as she beat him: "My Abao, he was so young and talented. He said he would earn a title for me, but now he has nothing!"

"Only you! You are a daughter who is going to get married. What hope do I have in the future?"

Li Qingning has heard this kind of words countless times since he was a child.

She originally thought she had gotten used to her mother and father's favoritism, but every time she heard such words, she felt heartbroken.

Years of accumulated resentment suddenly erupted, and Li Qingning pushed away her mother who was beating her.

Mrs. Wang fell on the hidden sac, completely stunned.

Li Qingning looked at her with anger and coldness. She mocked, "Your son is young and talented?"

"Mother, you've heard lies for so long, and you've told me so many lies, do you really believe them?"

"If your son had talent, he wouldn't have had to take away the official position I worked so hard to get last time!"

"If your son had talent, he wouldn't be unable to recite the Four Books and Five Classics! His handwriting is even worse than that of a three-year-old child!"

"If your son had any talent, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing and lost his life!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned by her scolding, and Master Li and the servants in the room were also stunned for a moment.

The pain in Li Qingning's eyes was as deep as an abyss: "Mother, when will you be able to see me in your eyes?"

"I'm the best and most promising one in the family, but you're only thinking about your useless son?"

Li Qingning looked at her steadily: "Do you remember that your son is still studying the Book of Songs, while I, your daughter, am already a literary scholar in the residence of Taiwei Changzhu, a sixth-rank court official, and an attendant of an honorable Emperor of Heaven."

"What he can do, I can do too. The glory he cannot give you, I can give you."

"Why, you are still like when we were kids, talking about how great your good-for-nothing son is, but you blame me and belittle me without any reason?"

Li Qingning let out all the resentment that had accumulated in her heart for many years, and her tone of voice was extremely sarcastic.

"Mother, is your big son a treasure? It's time to wake up from the dream."

"You shouldn't blame me, and you have no right to blame me."

Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, her expression even more crazy: "Are you blaming me for being partial? How dare you! You've read so much that you're going to get into a dog's stomach!!"

She pulled out the gilded copper butterfly hairpin on her head and stabbed her: "I want you to pay for my son's life!!"

When the maids saw this, they rushed forward, some snatched the hairpins, some embraced the people.

"My lady, you can't do this! You can't do this!"

"The young lady is already an official appointed by the imperial court. It is against the law to assassinate an official appointed by the imperial court!"

The maids hurriedly separated them. Master Li stamped his feet and said, "Oh! Lan Niang, you are so confused! A Bao brought this upon himself. How can you blame An Ning?"

Li Qingning looked at his father with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Why didn't you say anything just now? I had already scolded you and now you speak?

After Master Li and Li Qingning left the room, he said, "Aning, I want to send your mother to the farm to stay for a while and calm down."

Li Qingning was indifferent: "Well, OK. Aye, it's up to you."

Looking at the alienated look on his daughter's face, Mr. Li sighed inwardly.

In the original Jade Maiden and Jade Boy examination, several children from various aristocratic families sent their children, and after private consultation, it was stipulated that each family would send two people to occupy official positions, and each family would also have two quotas for minor officials.

Among the Longxi Li family, only Aning had outstanding literary talent and was favored by the prime minister. Therefore, he had the opportunity to send his own legitimate son to the Changzhu Mansion to be a minor official.

Unexpectedly, a series of events followed by a series of mistakes occurred.

He let Abao take his daughter's official position, which hurt his daughter's feelings.

Mr. Li sighed and said, "I am old, and your concubine sisters are not outstanding. From now on, our family and Longxi Li family will rely on you to support the family."

Li Qingning's expression was moved. Supporting the family was something she had been waiting for for more than ten years.

But when she opened her mouth, she thought of the Longxi Li family and Xuanzun's massacre of the Qingzhou aristocratic families, and she was unable to agree.

Finally, I could only say, "I know, father."

"Xuan Zun has granted me the grace to seize my love. I do not need to observe mourning and go explain the new law formulated by the Star Lord of the Li Dynasty to my subordinates and students."

"Father, it's nothing. I'm going back to live in the Lord's Mansion."

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Okay, remember to come back and visit us often."

In the Taiwei Changzhu Mansion, Xinhua Hall, many officials and male and female students were chatting in the hall, making a noisy sound.

Li Qingning led the clerk into the museum, and the room suddenly became quiet.

A male official sneered, "Li Wenxue, you are in a good mood. Your brother is dead, and you can still come to teach."

"She seems delicate and docile on weekdays, but she was able to kill her own brother, curry favor with the mistress, and please the mistress. She is really scheming."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the ocean. It's too cruel to kill your own brother."

Li Qingning looked up and saw that most of those who said this were male officials, as well as some female students and female officials.

She sneered in her heart, how could they really say such words?

Just as I was about to retort, a female student below spoke up.

It was Pei Xuan. She glanced around and frowned:

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Shi Ke, a great official, killed his son who had become a traitor to his country, and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty killed his uncle Bo Zhao who had violated the law. These were both acts of sacrificing one's relatives for the sake of justice, and they were praised in history books."

"Li Wenxue also killed his own relatives who committed crimes. Why do you want to blame Li Wenxue?"

A female official sneered, "If a man does the same thing, he will be regarded as a righteous man who sacrifices his relatives for the sake of justice, and will be praised in history books. But if a woman does it, she will be regarded as a vicious person who is trying to curry favor with the emperor."

Female Official A: "Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents, and Teachers. Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, and Parents are always above Parents."

Male official B: "You are blaming Li Wenxue. Are you dissatisfied with her, or with His Majesty Xuanzun who ordered the execution of Li Dabao?"

Female Officer C: "Your moral standards are very strange!"

Female official D: "They treat men in one way and women in another. Even some women are strict with women and lenient with men to show their own noble morals."

Pei Xuan: "If you do this, will the men praise you and give you women who support them a title?"

Inside the museum, female and male students, as well as officials, were seated in distinct sections.

As soon as their eyes met, sparks and lightning flew.

It was as if he was about to have a fierce fight.
