Chapter 171 Discipline

The polo match has ended, but people are still in front of Linde Hall. Dou Huaizhen was sitting next to Xue Chongxun. He whispered in a low voice: "I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Xue Lang can still sit still and not get angry?"

Perhaps Cui Riyong, the Huangmen Minister, was an opponent of Dou Huaizhen and others before, so Dou Huaizhen had no good feelings for him, so he made a fuss.

Of course Xue Chongxun was angry, but due to his mother's face, he did not immediately have an attack. He just said coldly: "Why am I angry with a dead person?"

Dou Huaizhen was stunned and soon came back to the spot. It turned out that in Xue Chongxun's eyes, the young man Cui Mo was already a corpse?

Xue Chongxun sat down and didn't move. He just said that it was because of an unstoppable impulse. In fact, he didn't want to say anything. There are so many ministers present now, and it would not be a wise move to provoke his mother's authority in person. He knew his mother very well. She didn't like others to disobey her intentions and had a strong personality. In fact, from the pros and cons, if you want to make a choice, Jincheng's role in Xue Chongxun is not as good as Princess Taiping, but Xue Chongxun is not a completely rational person.

When Cui Mo stood up just now, Xue Chongxun had the urge to draw his sword and stab him to death, but if he did this, he would definitely disappoint the civil and military officials in the court. After all, the Cui family is also a big family of the scholars. You can do it clearly in the border, but in Chang'an, you always have to preach reason and law. Playing with the evil spirit has always been a popular method for people to hear.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a purple-robed official jogging towards me. The officials wearing purple clothes were all people with status. They usually paid attention to their demeanor and temperament when walking, and they wanted to show their calm temperament, but the person ran over and looked very anxious.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a middle-aged man, not the Huangmen Minister Cui Riyong. Cui Riyong ran to the stands, without saying a word, slapped Cui Mo and beat him to the ground, and then he fell down and kowtowed: "Young son is young and doesn't know the truth. Please ask Your Majesty and Your Highness to be kind and ask me to take him back and discipline him."

Half of Cui Mo's face was swollen, and he covered his face with one hand, which was so innocent.

Taiping said in surprise: "What did this gentleman Cui Mo do wrong?"

Cui Riyong raised his head, glanced gently over Xue Chongxun, and then said, "The dog's crime of offending the royal family is unforgivable. I dared to ask Tianting to sue him and impose him on Lingnan as a warning."

"Father..." The young man Cui Mo widened his eyes and shouted, but he didn't know what he said. He probably didn't know what serious crime he had committed, so serious that he wanted to be exiled to the Bianhuang. He must have felt resentment in his heart. This father is really a deathbed for justice!

"Shut up!" Cui Riy-yong was furious and waved his fist and said, "What should I do when I stand, kneel down and apologize to Your Highness."

The father's order cannot be violated, and Cui Mo knelt on the ground reluctantly.

Taiping smiled and said, "How did you be your father? Cui Mo did nothing wrong. His Majesty just praised him as a good man, and I think it's good."

She thought she was smiling very kindly, but in the eyes of others, she made people feel embarrassed.

Cui Ri took a deep breath and said respectfully: "The royal family has never had a precedent for marriage with people from Shandong. The son did not understand the rules and acted recklessly. I hope that your highness would remember that he was young and innocent, forgive his death sentence and was exiled to the frontier to continue to serve the country."

"Even if Cui Mo doesn't understand the rules, does Mr. Cui think that Your Majesty doesn't understand either?" Taiping immediately put the blame on the emperor, "What's more, in the Tang Dynasty's statute, which one says that the Li family cannot marry Shandong? Mr. Cui, do you want to learn from Fang Xuanling as a famous minister?"

Princess Taiping mentioned that Fang Xuanling is an allusion. Fang Xuanling, a famous minister in the history of Li Tang, once refused the royal marriage because his wife was a jealous person. The pun of jealousy came from Fang Xuanling. He dared to reject the princess' favor, which was almost unique in Li Tang, and was rumored to be a kind-hearted joke for the ages.

Cui Ri had a black thread hanging on his forehead and said, "I'm dead."

Taiping smiled and said kindly, "This is not a bad thing, it is our family's favor to the Cui family. Your Majesty and I will take charge of everything for you. Please feel at ease."

Cui Riyong had a hundred reluctant words on his face, but now Princess Taiping has said this to this point. If she still insisted on resisting, it would probably not be Xue Chongxun who offended him.

Taiping turned around and said to Brother Fen: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace."

Brother Fen had been impatient for a long time and stood up and said, "Okay, the sun is really poisonous, and it's useless to hold an umbrella, making people too hot to bear it."

Cui Riyong wanted to say something, but everyone had already knelt down in the sand and shouted, "Send your Majesty respectfully."

Jin Cheng also stood up silently and followed the royal family members. Everyone was arguing about her affairs just now, but she didn't say anything, as if she was not in her own hands... It was just that the moment she turned around and walked away, she looked back at Xue Chongxun, and glanced at her eyes seemed to contain endless connotations. This scene had been hanging in Xue Chongxun's mind for a long time, and it was printed on his forehead like a captured photo.

Xue Chongxun felt uncomfortable. But in Chang'an, he could no longer use simple and crude methods. When he killed Feng Yuanjun, he encountered an assassination incident, which caused a lot of subsequent troubles. Now the Cui family is also a gentry and a family of certain strength. If Cui Mo is killed alone, it will cause even greater trouble. Cui Ri used a white-haired man to send a black-haired man to watch his son beheaded on the spot. Don't hold a grudge? He has to cut the roots!

In short, Xue Chongxun now made up his mind to be an enemy of a large family, but it was not because of conflicts of interests, but just for personal matters... If any gentry had faced Xue Chongxun's current situation, it would not have considered the same as his. The reason was that his values ​​were different. At this time, most people would put family interests first; while Xue Chongxun only cared about himself, he was not interested in things such as the past, and he just wanted to live a interesting life.

Under this value, it is reasonable that Xue Chongxun did anything to be a woman at all costs. But others don’t know his heart, and everyone has their own guesses: some may think that he will put the overall situation first; some may think that he is a hot-headed and spoiled as a playboy; and Jincheng may think that he is a person like King You of Zhou.

But he is nothing.

After Emperor Fen and other people from the palace left the seat, Cui Riyong could no longer help but be angry and punched and kicked his son in front of everyone. What kind of demeanor was there at this time, and he was beaten to the point of being bruised and scolded, and was extremely embarrassed.

Cui Mocai is a real playboy and has no power to resist in front of his elders. Jin Cheng also saw this situation. I am afraid that she would never have a good impression of such a young man. She has the right to participate in her own affairs, a young man who is completely dependent on his family, and her image is like a little kid. What kind of woman can she protect herself?

Xue Chongxun stood up silently and walked with several prime ministers, just about to leave the palace. At this time, Yu Liben walked over and said, "She is here, your highness, let's wait in Chengxiang Palace, and you will have something to say later."

After hearing this, Dou Huaizhen and others clasped their fists and said, "Then let's take one step first."

Xue Chongxun had to change direction and head north. When he came to Chengxiang Hall, a palace maid led him to the high pavilion behind the main hall, just at the end of the flying bridge. The arc-shaped flying bridge in the air was like a rainbow, which was the only passage connecting the main hall and the high pavilion.

Last time he had a home-cooked dinner with his mother. It was raining at that time, and today's weather was very clear. When early autumn came, the sky seemed to be higher, and it was so blue that it was not stained.

This attic is indeed a dry and cool place. It was very hot in Linde Hall Square at that time, but when you come here, you can blow a cool breeze. The curtain sways gently, and the natural wind is even more refreshing than the electric fan.

After waiting for a while, Princess Taiping came back. Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "My son has met my mother."

"Sit down and talk." Taiping brushed his long sleeves and sat down on the soft collapse on the front with a generous and dignified movement. There were many types of clothes in the Tang Dynasty. Princess Taiping wore this large-sleeved shirt, which was a Hanfu, which showed her nobleness. There was always a calm momentum between the wide sleeves.

Taiping subconsciously looked at Xue Chongxun's face, but he had no expression on his face. Taiping smiled and said, "Are you angry?"

Nonsense! But Xue Chongxun said seriously: "No, my son-in-law understands my mother's approach very well. Since I have married a royal family, I must never have any relationship with Jincheng anymore, otherwise it will damage the majesty of the royal family. My mother did this because she was afraid that I would let go of my old love."

After hearing this, Taiping relaxed his face and sighed: "So many people, you can only touch my heart."

Xue Chongxun changed his mind and said, "But why did my mother say to me first? At least you have to consider my feelings?"

"What's the use of telling you?"

Xue Chongxun held back his anger and took a breath and said, "I will not disobey my mother. Let me explain it first. Because of my mother's decision, the Cui family will definitely pay ten times the price!"

"What did you say!" Taiping's face changed suddenly, and he pointed at his nose and said angrily, "I can't do whatever I want. Can you do whatever you want? Tell me a truth about right and wrong!"

Xue Chongxun said: "I didn't care."

"Rareless! Didn't you see how Cui Riyong disciplined her son in front of Linde Palace?" Taiping waved his hand and acted as if he was about to beat him. Unfortunately, Xue Chongxun stood too far, so she didn't stand up considering her image.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun suddenly said: "If my father was alive, I would not be so lacking in discipline."
