There were quite a few people from the old Pei family kneeling on the ground, more than a dozen of them.
In the row on the left, Pei Shuying and Yang Hao were sitting. On the right, Pei Xian, the Duke of Linfen County, and Pei Yun, the imperial censor, were sitting.
Yang Ming sat on the main seat and remained silent until now.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
Yang Ming had long known the ins and outs of the whole matter from Su Lie who had returned. Although Yang Hao was unlucky and impetuous, the matter was still solved.
His original intention was not to let the Pei family know that he was involved in it. Yang Hao, a boy with poor work skills, forced him into an unfavorable situation, so that if he didn't sell him, he wouldn't be able to bring him back.
Of course Yang Ming would not blame Yang Hao. He would not scold Yang Hao in any public place, even if Yang Hao was wrong.
"Which one is Pei Shen?" Yang Ming was silent for a long time and finally spoke.
Pei Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to raise his head and said quickly: "Your Majesty Pei Shen, please punish the prince."
"How dare I punish you?" Yang Ming sneered.
As soon as these words came out, Pei Yun and Pei Xian, who were sitting in their seats, were stunned at the same time and screamed, and everyone in the hall also trembled in their hearts.
Yang Hao snorted coldly and drank his tea with a sneer on his lips.
The Pei family members who were kneeling on the ground all apologized and begged Yang Ming to calm down.
Pei Shen kept kowtowing, making a loud sound.
"Don't dirty the floor in the solitary palace," Yang Ming said.
Pei Shen was completely panicked. He burst into tears and looked at Pei Shuying with tears streaming down his face:
"I am so old and careless that I have made a big mistake. Can the Crown Princess please ask me for a favor?"
"How outrageous!" Linfen County Duke Pei Xian, who was sitting on his seat, was furious when he heard this:
"You are the one who caused this matter, how dare you involve the Crown Princess? Have you lived enough?"
After saying that, Pei Xian stood up and said, "I would like to ask that Pei Shen be dismissed from his post and deported to his place of origin."
This was what they had discussed among themselves. Dismissal should be the lightest punishment. Pei Shen was also old and had no real power as a secretary. He might as well retire and forget about it. After all, he was just reading, so why not read?
Yang Ming laughed, pointed at Yang Hao and said to Pei Shen: "Look up."
Pei Shen quickly raised his head and looked at Yang Hao as the prince pointed.
Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "He can sit here and drink tea leisurely, but you can't."
As soon as they said this, Pei Xian and Pei Yun subconsciously looked at the empty table in front of them. They didn't have any tea either.
So the two of them quickly stood up and knelt down in the hall.
Yang Ming sneered and said: "You are all people with status, many of them are me, Sui Huigu. Because of Ayun, you are here alone and you are not an outsider, so I want to make things difficult for you, but you have gone too far.
Now, don’t think that Pei Shen can take over all the connections. He is a secretary and has no one to back him up. How dare he look down on Gu’s cousin and your Majesty’s nephew?”
Linfen County Duke Pei Xian raised his head with trembling hands: "This mistake is all due to the lax family tradition of my Pei family. The prince is teaching me that I must restrain the children of the family in the future."
His look of panic was all fake. He guessed that Yang Ming would not do anything to them. He would not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. You have to give Pei Shuying and Pei Ju face, right?
Even without the two of them, wouldn't I, the Pei family of Hedong, still have such a little face? When we built the kiln, we didn't have Hanhu. We are your princelings.
Pei Yun guessed that Yang Ming was not only talking about Yang Hao's affairs, but also alluding to Su Lie's affairs, so he hurriedly said:
"Thousands of mistakes have been made. This time it is all my fault. Please calm down, Prince. I am willing to be punished."
Yang Ming chuckled and said: "I will not punish you, you worshiped the wrong Buddha."
After saying that, Yang Ming looked at Yang Hao: "The King of Liang has the final say on how to deal with them."
Yang Hao was stunned, what the hell are you doing to me? Do I dare to deal with it? If I deal with it, won't I offend both my siblings and Pei Ju all at once?
He subconsciously glanced at Pei Shuying beside him, and saw that Pei Shuying was looking at her nose, nose, and heart, and was moved by her heart.
So Yang Hao said: "That's all, let's follow what Duke Linfen just said and drive him back to his place of origin."
After saying that, Yang Hao looked at Pei Shuying and said, "What do my brothers and sisters think?"
He was trying to show his goodwill to Pei Shuying, hoping to make Pei Shuying owe him a favor.
Pei Shuying turned around and smiled: "The punishment given by King Liang is too light. It is such a big mistake. If he is not severely punished, he may do it again in the future."
Yang Hao was stunned: "What do my brothers and sisters think?"
Pei Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, looked at her relatives in the palace, and said in a deep voice:
"Pei Shen was demoted to a commoner and expelled back to his hometown. Anyone who caused trouble in the camp was expelled back to the east of the river. The prince ordered that he was not allowed to leave the east of the river in the future. The slaves and maids will be killed with a stick in the worst case and dismissed in the light case."
After saying that, Pei Shuying stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please give me permission."
Now that it was over, everyone in the old Pei family in the palace was stunned. No one thought that the person who was ruthless to them was actually one of their own.
Pei Yun was smart and said quickly: "I am willing to accept the crime."
They saw clearly and knew that Pei Shuying was protecting the family, otherwise the punishment would be too light. If His Majesty found out, they would not be able to pass the test.
But Pei Shen can't see the heat. You are the daughter of our family, how can you demote me to a commoner? My family has been an official for six generations, and now I have become a commoner?
Then I am afraid that after a hundred years, my descendants will not even be able to afford the sacrifices and incense money that were burned to me.
"Princess, am I your clan uncle?" Pei Shen knelt down and took a few steps forward, crying.
Pei Shuying turned around coldly and reprimanded: "Is Prince Liang still your Majesty's nephew? Did you ever think of this when you offended Prince Liang?"
Pei Shen was immediately speechless.
"Drag him out," Pei Xian ordered Pei Nanjin and Pei Xingyan behind him, and the latter two hurried forward and dragged the crying old man away.
Yang Ming said calmly: "Okay, okay, everyone, please sit down. You have been punished. You don't have to kneel anymore."
Pei Shuying stepped forward and helped the old Pei Xian up and sat aside.
The pei
, the Tang Dynasty enjoyed it very much.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After everyone sat down, Yang Ming prepared his Qianniu, and called Pei Yun's son Pei Shuang in, saying:
"You are the Senniu Preparation Officer appointed by You Gu, but it seems that your family doesn't think this is a good job."
Pei Shuang's mouth twitched and he subconsciously looked at his father, Pei Yun.
He, Lai Yu, Dugu Lingyun, and Wei Huaijing were Qianniu Preparations responsible for guarding the prince, so they were always with Yang Ming and never left.
Although he also heard that there seemed to be some trouble between the clan and King Liang, he didn't know the specific situation.
Pei Yunxin called it quits. Just now, he just dealt with Yang Hao's matter. Now the prince wants to deal with Su Lie's matter. Isn't this clear that he is referring to his own son?
Pei Yun was about to speak, but Yang Ming raised his hand to stop him. He continued to look at Pei Shuang and said:
"Let me ask you, what do you think your grandpa is doing?"
Pei Shuang said: "Being able to serve the prince is a great honor for a humble position. Only a fool would think that being prepared for a thousand cattle is not a good job."
Yang Ming smiled: "After all, it is a guard position. There is no experience or anything to learn. I'm afraid I will delay you. Let me see, you can go home."
Pei Shuang was stunned for a moment.
Good guy, are you going to kill the chicken to show the monkey? Are you going to operate on my son? Pei Yun couldn't sit still and hurriedly stood up and said:
"The prince clearly knows that Qian Niu is ready to wield the sword. He is the personal guard of His Majesty and the prince. It is an important position for the left and right. People in the world dare to look down upon and neglect. It is an honor for the father and son to hold the sword for the prince. Please prince
Take back your life."
Qian Niu Bei Shen first came from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because the sword hanging on their waist was named Qian Niu, and it was the standing guard around the emperor and the prince, so it was called Qian Niu Bei Shen.
Beginning from Yang Jian, in order to reflect the uniqueness of Qianniu Beishen, once the preparers reached a certain age, they would be released to serve as high-level local officials.
Because Senniu Preparation was held when he was young and left when he was older, he was also called Emperor Yuancong.
Yang Ming had no reaction to Pei Yun's words, while Pei Shuang was furious, knowing that someone in the family had implicated him.
Pei Renji knew in his heart that this was directed at him, so he stood up and said:
"I have a request, but I don't know whether to make it or not."
Yang Ming still remained silent.
Pei Renji swallowed subconsciously and continued: "I have a daughter who seems to have secretly fallen in love with the prince's bodyguard Su Lie during the spring outing. I asked the prince to act as a matchmaker for the two young ladies."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I, Su Lie, have a bad background and am not worthy of your daughter."
"No, no, no, it's up to you to climb high," Pei Renji could only bite his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Others also saw the heat and stepped forward one after another to ask Yang Ming to be a matchmaker.
Pei Shuang also realized the problem at this time. The feeling was that Pei Renji looked down on Su Lie, which made the prince angry? What does that have to do with Prince Liang? It sounds very confusing.
Yang Hao added fuel to the fire at this time: "If you had said this earlier, why would I have gone to the camp to rob people? Now I know I regret it?"
Pei Shuang, who was completely unaware, was shocked again. Damn it, you actually snatched someone away? No wonder there was a conflict between the two parties. You are so awesome. You dare to go to our house and snatch someone away?
Linfen County Duke Pei Xian said with a smile: "Prince Liang, you don't speak clearly. If Pei Shen knew that you were ordered by the prince, how could we dare to stop him?"
Now Yang Ming was embarrassed. It was indeed a bit disgraceful to steal a bride.
Pei Shuang now fully understands that the King of Liang is not awesome, but the prince is. Let me just say, I have never heard of anyone who dares to go to our house to rob a woman. Since he is the prince, it's okay.
So Pei Shuang said directly: "I think that Su Lie and the daughter of Lord Langya are a match made in heaven. This matter will definitely become a good story in the future."
The corner of Pei Renji's mouth twitched. What a joke? You guys just want to see my joke.
At this time, Yang Ming suddenly stood up and left quietly.
Everyone in the hall was left looking at each other, confused and confused.
What is this for? Agree or disagree, give me an accurate answer, so everyone looked at Pei Shuying again.
Pei Shuying sighed softly, got up and left.
"Hehe...hehehe..." Yang Hao no longer had to maintain his posture, crossed his shoulders and crossed his legs, and said with a strange smile: "You will not survive if you do it yourself."
