female concubine

"Those who dare to bully others in my name, disregard the law and humiliate the family tradition, I will punish them severely."

Uncle Dongping held up his sleeves and took a step towards his younger brother beside him, "Mother told me to tell you that although His Highness lives in the forbidden area, you can see all the Kyushu in the world. Don't take chances and use your personal affection. After all, we are with His Highness." Words are just offshoots."

The jubilation at the banquet froze in an instant, and the unscrupulous people restrained their hands and feet and stood upright.

"Daddy, it hurts!" A teenager shouted from the banquet, Uncle Ji Bei grabbed his son by the ear and kicked him to the ground.

Immediately he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and said, "I'm guilty."

"Oh?" Xiao Youqing stepped forward, "What's the crime of Uncle Ji Bei?"

"The offender committed crimes and used his power to oppress the common people. The Ministry of Punishment is afraid of the offender's surname and..." Uncle Jibei lay on the ground trembling and continued: "Your Highness's majesty," Uncle Jibei took off the head of the head Excuse me, "The sinful minister who received the salary without merit really owes His Royal Highness the Queen and His Majesty."

The woman grabbed Uncle Dongping who was about to go forward, "Why are you going?"

"This is my brother..."

"Didn't you say that His Highness wants to make an example to others? What's the use of you going?"

"I am a person who has made meritorious deeds. It is different from showing meritorious deeds. My words may be useful." So Uncle Dong Ping, who looked somewhat similar to the kneeling man, stepped out of the crowd and knelt beside him, "Your Highness. "

Jibei Bolen turned his head, "Brother?"

"I warned you a long time ago, but you just didn't listen." Uncle Dong Ping kowtowed again, "I'm a warrior who doesn't understand writing and ink. Although Yun Zhi's temper is a bit rebellious, there must be a reason for what happened. I beseech Your Highness to show mercy. "

Duke Longde has only one wife, and only the eldest son has two sons under his knees. His family is far inferior to that of his younger brothers, wives and concubines who have more than dozens of concubine sons. The eldest son Dongping Bo's family is therefore very much under the care of Duke Longde, and even built a mansion. Together, after the war subsided, Dongping Bo Xiao Xiancong took the initiative to resign from his family because of concerns about family power.

On the tower to the west of the imperial city, a man in a yellow robe stood on a corner of the city wall and watched.

"What a pair of brotherly love, father is kind and son is filial, brother and friend are respectful."

"Why didn't the official family go to the banquet on the saint's birthday today? The official family is the emperor hiding on the tower to watch..."

"I want to go, but my sister won't let me," Wei Huan said, looking at a palace. "The emperor doesn't have family affairs, but the queen does. What's the reason for that?"

Xiao Youqing was still indifferent to the uncle's entreaties, "Do you still remember what I said on the day I was registered?"

Uncle Ji Bei was trembling with guilt.

"Today we don't care about state affairs, we only talk about family affairs. All the people in the world, regardless of high or low, are the people of me and Your Majesty. Any member of the Xiao clan who commits a crime must not call himself a relative."

Xiao Youqing frowned, "Your Majesty's gift, is this how you treat it?"

Although he was only blaming the Xiao family, the Jiang family on the side also shrugged their heads. Uncle Ji Bei knelt down and pulled his son's hands out of his sleeves, and said in panic: "The dog is immoral, I implore His Royal Highness to punish him severely. Even if his hands were cut off, the criminals would have no complaints."

"Daddy..." It wasn't until his father did this that Xiao Yunzhi realized the seriousness of the situation. He withdrew his hand in fright, crawled forward on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "Sister...no, Your Royal Highness, I was unintentional, and it was the commoner who angered me first."

"Why did you hurt someone? Why did he stop you? I don't even want to talk about your scandal. Do you know what happened to the person you hurt?"

"But I just hurt him. His sister died by hanging himself. What has it to do with me? I..."

"You are not as good as a pig or a dog!" Uncle Ji Bei blushed, and stretched out his hand to hold his son's head firmly, "How can I raise such a son as you?"

Seeing the anger of Empress Ping in the center of the palace, Uncle Ji Bei did not hesitate to cut off his own son's hands, which made everyone sigh, and some people whispered in private, "Longde's family is strict, and his younger brother's family should not be too bad. .”

"Recently, I've heard a lot of people talking about relatives in the market. The children of the Xiao family who moved to Kaifeng are not much worse than the Cui family back then. This family is not the only one who committed crimes. It's just that they just happened to hit the muzzle of His Highness the Queen. What's more, Jibei... is the least powerful family, he has no morals and incompetence, and he has no title of Founding Earl."

"Fortunately, our Jiang family is only His Royal Highness's mother family, and we are far away in Jinling and can't compare with the Xiao family who holds military power. We still know how much we have."

"Really?"

The young man followed the questioner's line of sight and saw the eldest son of Jiang's family seated at the front with a gloomy face, "If I didn't say it, Daddy always only loves painting and doesn't participate in political affairs. The affairs of the uncle's family have nothing to do with us." Bar."

Several servants stepped forward to hold down the young man beside Uncle Jibei, Xiao Youqing returned to his seat, and picked up a cup of tea as if nothing had happened, "Oh, that's right."

"I forgot to tell all the elders that the kind and magnanimous one is my mother, Mrs. An Guo."

Before the words were finished, the servant had already lifted the wide stool to the center of the hall, and two servants holding sticks stood on the left and right of the stool.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, save me!" Xiao Yunzhi broke free from the clutches of several servants. Not long ago, the concubine of Princess Wu was beaten into a cripple by the court staff, and there was a lot of trouble in the capital, and some discussions can still be heard on the streets. For this dandy who has been favored since he was a child and has never been beaten once, he has already lost his soul in fright.

A little fat man in the crowd stood beside his mother and raised his head, "Hmph, this is what happens to bullies."

"You bastard, that's your brother, what nonsense." The woman nodded her son's head lightly with her finger.

"He bullied me every day when I was a child, but my father punished me. I have better cats than him, so I don't think he is my brother."

Holding the teacup, Xiao Youqing looked up at Uncle Jibei, "It's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach, but today I said that I only talk about family affairs, if the son makes mistakes, should the father punish him?"

Uncle Ji Bei limp and raised his head to look at his son who was being pressed on the wide stool by the servant, and immediately stood up tremblingly and took the wooden staff from the servant, "It's because the guilty minister didn't teach him well, so he didn't bother the nobles. "

Xiao Youqing said again: "There is a woman on the side, so there is no need to take off the clothes and receive the stick."

Uncle Jibei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tightened the wooden stick in his hand and stepped forward, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Daddy doesn't want it, my son is afraid of pain."

Xiao Youqing slammed down the teacup, "Why don't you know it hurts when you hurt someone? Don't you think other people's lives are so despicable?"

Xiao Youqing stood up, "The decline of a family often starts from the inside and finally collapses little by little. What you trample on is the reputation earned by your ancestors with blood and sweat."

Listening to the words on the stage, the clan and relatives in the banquet on both sides fell silent, and lowered their heads as if in reflection.

Uncle Ji Bei raised his eyebrows, and after tightening his fingers, he made up his mind to strike hard.

Hearing the screams of pain, the elders at the banquet on both sides covered the children's eyes with their hands. The wooden staff was gradually stained with blood, and the robes made of imperial brocade pieces worn by the victims were also stained red. From the tragic yelling to the weak groaning and finally to the silent fainting, Uncle Jibei didn't dare to stop at all before he got the teaching.

The woman rushed out from the crowd, and was immediately stopped by several servants, who broke free and cried, "I don't want him, but he is your own son, how could you be so cruel..."

Seeing that her husband seemed indifferent, the woman knelt down to Xiao Youqing, and begged: "Your Highness, Zhier is unmarried, I beg Your Highness to show mercy, if you want to punish, punish this woman."

Xiao Youqing was still indifferent, "Is the unmarried crown the reason to let him go? You have to think about today's situation as early as the first moment you indulged."

The woman slumped on the ground and wept bitterly.

The head of the clan seated on the left is the prince who doesn't understand the political structure of the court. He just felt that the scene in the middle of the palace was too cruel, so he wanted to do something. When the wife behind him noticed it, he bowed his waist and pressed it lightly. Hold his small shoulders that want to get up.

The child with the horns pierced turned his head, "Wu Nei?"

"Your Majesty, no."

"why?"

"The king of the county is kind, but it doesn't apply at this time. Those who make mistakes should take responsibility for their mistakes. The king of the county helped Xiao Yanei today, but who can help those who are persecuted by the government?"

Zong Ren clutched his little hands in the narrow-sleeved robe, and Wu bowed down and explained patiently, "The prince of the county is still young and can't tell the dangers of people's hearts. Right and wrong are not just superficial and what you see right now."

The servant bowed and walked up the steps, "Saint, the yamen has passed out."

Only then did Xiao Youqing order to stop, "Send the person to Dali Temple for retrial, and let him handle business as usual. Even if he wants to pay for his life, he will not be tolerated. Send someone to tell His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the officials connived by the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes." Several servants stepped forward and dragged the fainted man away from the palace. The blood was all over the floor, causing the relatives and clan wives standing on both sides to sweat.

Uncle Jibei collapsed on the ground with weak legs, kneeling and shaking, and within a short time, the palace was cleaned up.

Xiao Youqing stepped forward, "I hope you will remember what happened today. From now on, I don't want to hear any rumors about foreign relatives taking power in the market."

"Yes."

The birthday banquet was able to continue, but the atmosphere became rigid, and no one dared to drink loudly and make noise. It wasn't until the queen withdrew from the banquet that the guests on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Jibei's wife sat down on the seat in a daze, slapped and complained to her husband, "It's all your fault for running to scare that man..."

"Shut up!" Uncle Ji Bei, who has always been gentle, couldn't help yelling, "Don't you feel ashamed enough?"

When Xiao Youqing returned to the apse, Nei Dongmensi brought a bunch of letters from the courtiers to congratulate the Empress.

Xiao Youqing sat down looking at the piles of notes piled up on the table, leaned on the armrest of the chair and sighed, "Is there so many?"

"You are a national pilgrim. The birthday of a saint is the same as that of an official. There should be a state banquet."

Xiao Youqing supported his forehead, "Read an article by Lu Xiang."

"Yes." Zhao Ping stepped forward and picked up the topmost note, and read: "Lv Wei, who is in the same office as Zhongshumen, is sincerely happy and sincere. Jishou Dunshou Queen's Highness said, I lead the three provinces to respect you, Your Highness Holy Virtue, Qianqiu Order, Virtue in the Palace, Blessings to All People in the World, However, the rulers and ministers guess each other, all officials are at risk, and the Son of Heaven does not speak to officials, so I use this note to ask Her Majesty the Empress, to advise the Son of Heaven, and to counsel the good way , Chanaya said, I have served the emperor for ten years, and I dare not take credit for pride, and I have no children and grandchildren. I am lucky to have these two daughters. I look up to the saints and rejoice, and I would like to send a note to congratulate you to hear about it."

After Zhao Ping finished reading, he bowed and presented the paper.

Xiao Youqing glanced at it, and said with a smile: "He probably wrote this note a long time ago. It's just that the courtiers of the outer court are not allowed to have contact with the inner palace. Lu Xiang is really patient and a rigorous person."

The author has something to say: Qianqiu Lingjie is a birthday greeting used by the queen and the crown prince's birthday officials (Song is not a festival, Qianqiu Festival is in the Qing Dynasty, and Tang Minghuang's birthday.)

The emperor's decree is called imperial decree, the queen's decree is called religious decree, and the crown prince's decree is called decree.

Jian is a kind of sparse document, which is mostly used to congratulate the empress and empress dowager. (The beginning and end are the format.)

Zongfu: The wife of the eldest son.
