Chapter 592: Seventy has a father, eighty has a mother
Another reason for handling Changsun Anye was that because of Zhang Liang and Li Tai's attitude, they saw their legs mud after they came out of the water. Li Chengqian believed that they must have known that Changsun Anye was already deeply involved. He gave him three days. On the surface, Li Tai respected his uncle, but in fact, he just wanted to set up a trap for himself.
Once he covered him up, the censors in the court who were ready to fight all day long and were frustrated with Kejin. The charges were ready, and the prince Chengqian was disagreeable, enforcing the law and favoring his own selfishness, covering up his mother's family, indulging in relationships, and seeking official positions. In the smallest, this is a loss of virtue to the people, and in the bigest, it means virtue is not worthy of position.
Li Chengqian knew very well what kind of virtue the fourth brother is. He couldn't even tolerate his brother, and he could care about Changsun Anye, who had no position or power. In addition, Zhang Liang, a second-rate and first-class guy in war, said it was nice to "hide evil intentions". I guess the impeachment chapter was written, and he would always put it on his sleeve, waiting for him to get into the trap!
Speaking of Li Tai's return to Beijing, this was an episode of his Western Expedition. After Li Xiang was born, the court issued a report to various state roads. After being sent to the Wei Palace, Li Tai gave a passionate memorial to the emperor to celebrate the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson and celebrate the long-lasting national reign of the empire. At the same time, he also told the emperor that his princess was pregnant and that the doctors in the local prefectures were not wise. He asked the emperor to give him and the princess to return to Chang'an for delivery due to the father-son relationship.
They were all grandsons, and the emperor was not good at all because they were the prince's son or the prince of Wei's son, so he issued an order to approve Li Tai's request. After returning to Beijing, the boy first went to Zichen Palace to cry and said all the good words of self-reflection, and then asked the princess Yan Wan, who was erect, to go to Queen Changsun to fall outside and endure hardships.
For the sake of the daughter-in-law and the unborn grandson, the emperor and the empress could not hide their faces and said anything else. They gave Li Tai a reassurance and told them that they could stay in Chang'an for the time being and talk about what happened in the future. But there is one thing: don't cause trouble, otherwise it would be more than just a simple punishment to return to the fief.
After the memorial from Yongchang was submitted, Zhang Liang, the Minister of Justice, recommended Li Tai, and asked the King of Wei to stand up and help the court. He also had the words mixed with the emperor that the emperor should not be too biased. The crown prince and the King of Qi could lead troops. The King of Wei was still qualified to examine the criminal prison. He could not be punished without being taught.
But they didn't expect that Changsun Anye went to the East Palace to walk. Not only did they not receive shelter, but they were directly pressed by Duke Xue and the guards of the East Palace. This made the two of them feel like they were punched and made them in vain for so much preparation that they could only accept the person obediently.
Li Tai was a joke about Changsun Anye, but when Empress Changsun learned that her brother had been thrown into death row, she became anxious immediately. Before she could send someone to spread Li Chengqian, the palace servants outside came in to report that the Crown Princess and Duke Tan's wife were asked to see him.
Hearing this, the intelligent Queen Changsun felt a little upset. No one knew better than him about Li Chengqian's temper. She was able to invite her, a sister who was simplified and recited scriptures and Buddha's name. It seemed that he had made up his mind. Didn't these two people come just to block their mouths?
After receiving the courtesy from the two, Empress Changsun said to Dugu Miaoyin with a compassionate look on her face: "Crown Princess, Gao Ming is really smart now. He knows how to use his mother's martial arts! An Ye's character is not good and he has made many friends, but he has no power or position. Can he do anything that harms the country and the people? Can he use it to get into the death row? Is there any biological mother of this palace in his eyes?"
When she heard Empress Changsun’s words, Dugu Miaoyin knelt down on the ground, lowered her head and didn’t say anything, because she knew that the more she said, the more she was wrong. Although she was a daughter-in-law, she was not from the Changsun family after all. It is said that the person who untied the bell must tie the bell. It sounds nice and bad, it should be said by their own family, so that the relationship between the queen and His Highness and his son will not be hurt.
"Sister, why are you so angry? My father sent him to the Ministry of Justice. What does it have to do with the prince and his wife? Alas, my father said the whole story. Brother An Ye really wants to die. Don't say that Your Highness and your father can't protect him. Even if His Majesty and you know that he has done anything, he will not forgive him..."
After hearing my sister explain in detail how his brother helped Han Kui and other corrupt officials in the court to set up a protective umbrella for them to cover up their crimes and harm the country and the people, Empress Changsun's hand couldn't help but tighten. After so many years of mother's life, she certainly knew that the uncle was supporting him, and the officials of Yongchang would use him to lay a network of relationships. One looked for two, two looked for three, and three looked for four. Even if he had not done many evil things for him, he had one of them after all, and it was not an exaggeration to kill him with this sin of weaving wings.
Seeing that the queen's face was still bad, Changsun Jiayun continued: "Brother An Ye has come to this point and he is responsible for his own fault. He can't blame others. Who makes him greedy? The common people say that there is a father or a mother of 80. According to the younger sister, the prince still has you as a mother in his heart. I know that you are not feeling well, so I let my younger sister give you a lenient heart.
Just imagine that over the years, no matter whether he or the children of the Gao family, he or she has promoted him one by one, and those who are not capable have members in the industrial zone. He will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. He has done so much, but it is just to make you feel at ease!
My little sister, I heard from Gongjin that in the first year of Zhenguan, when Li Xiaochang rebelled against the case, if His Highness had not taken him out, could he still survive to this day? It has been eleven years of life for him, so it is time to be content."
"The prince and the princess can be regarded as Jiaer and a beautiful wife. You have earned you a lot of face inside and outside. You can't be in a blessing without knowing your blessing. For example, Zhang Daxiang, Zhang Dasu and Zhang Da'anna, our family, had nothing to eat, and they didn't say anything. They couldn't understand their own affairs. Duke Tan was defeated sooner or later. If you have Jiaer and a beautiful wife like you, you can close your eyes even if you die!"
Changsun Jiayun's words are reasonable. The reason why she has been so at ease over the years is because of this son. Her own brother is really too unsatisfied. He can sell him a dignified uncle with just money. This really lost all the face of the Changsun family. If his father is still alive, he must strangle this prodigal son to death.
