There is a saying that no harm should be done to the wife and children, no crime should be done to the parents.
We are all nobles, ministers of the same palace, and people of the same court, so let's fight with each other, even if the brains of people are turned into the brains of dogs, there is no problem.
But attacking a wife, children, parents, is a taboo.
To use the method of assassination is to commit the taboo among taboos.
You know, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Jin Dynasty, assassinations were repeatedly banned.
At its peak, several emperors were assassinated.
It is precisely because of this that when assassination is prevalent, everyone is in danger. Moreover, those who pursue the assassination method find in the end that not only do they fail to benefit from the assassination, but they lose a lot of strength because of the assassination.
The opponent fights to the detriment of both sides, allowing the third party to take advantage.
Under this situation, everyone had to form an unwritten rule tacitly, that is, when fighting internally, try not to use assassination methods as much as possible, and try not to touch other people's wives, children, and parents as much as possible.
This kind of rule began to appear in the late Jin Dynasty and was completely formed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
It is precisely because of this that the only people who still believe in the way of assassination today are some rangers and people who are desperate to jump over the wall.
The Zheng family, as well as the wealthy families behind the Zheng family, are truly noble people.
They have nothing to do with rangers and desperate people. They resorted to assassination, which is breaking the rules and crossing the line.
How can we tolerate a group of martial artists who have little connection with wealthy families and no big backgrounds?
Not only the martial artists, but also the spokespersons of the wealthy families in the court, after learning about this incident, all shut their mouths and refused to say a word in favor of the wealthy families.
Some rules cannot be broken, and some lines cannot be crossed.
If it is broken or exceeded, you must pay the price.
In this case, no one will dare to help you.
"The Zheng family is so brave. They dare to use force on the heads of military officials. I really admire their courage."
In the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shentong took the opportunity to discuss Daizhou's military situation and said sarcastically to Wang Gui.
Wang Gui's face suddenly turned the color of pig's liver, and he remained silent without saying a word.
The Zheng family was really brave, and actually went so far as to attack Tai Sui and show off his machete in front of Guan Gong's gate.
Military ministers were originally good at wielding swords and guns, and they also held the most violent power in the world in their hands.
When Mrs. Zheng showed her sword to the military ministers, wasn't it just a show of swordsmanship in front of Guan Gong's gate?!
Pei Ju, who has always been calm, said with a solemn face at this moment: "This is what Zheng did wrong. I have sent people from the clan to hold Zheng accountable. I believe Zheng will give Zhang Liang an explanation soon."
If Zhang Liang did not have the support of his uncle and nephew Li Deliang, Zhang Liang's incident would not have become known to both the government and the public.
Pei Ju would not care about this matter at all, let alone send someone to the Zheng family to ask for an explanation for Zhang Liang.
After all, he is just a prince, and his status seems to be respected, but it is not enough to make a wealthy family bow down.
However, Zhang Liang was backed by two county princes, and everyone knew about Zhang Liang.
If the Zheng family didn't give Zhang Liang an explanation, she would not only have trouble with Zhang Liang, but also with Li Deliang's uncle and nephew, as well as the military ministers with no background in the Manchu Dynasty.
What's more important is that some military officials with backgrounds will not be able to see through it.
After all, Mrs. Zheng broke the rules and crossed the line.
This kind of trend cannot be encouraged, otherwise when everyone 'fights' with others in the court in the future, their wives, children, and parents may be in danger.
Therefore, even if the matter has nothing to do with them, the military officials will not remain indifferent.
Some civil servants with less prominent family backgrounds would also silently support military officials to teach Zheng a lesson and let Zheng remember the lesson.
"Whether Zheng will give an explanation or not, it doesn't matter anymore..."
Facing Pei Ju's words, Li Shentong replied with gloating.
Pei Ju frowned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Shentong smiled and said: "It means that Zhang Liang's people may have arrived in Xingyang by now, and the heads of the younger generations of the Zheng family may be about to move."
Pei Ju's face changed drastically and he said anxiously: "The Zheng family has already made a bad start. How can Zhang Liang use evil to cure evil? If this continues, won't it mean that the assassination style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties will reappear, and everyone will be killed?"
What good does it do to the country if we endanger ourselves?”
Li Shentong couldn't stand Pei Ju's face and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Is it Zhang Liang who was the first to use assassins to assassinate his parents, wives and children? It was obviously Zheng's fault, but why did it turn out to be Zhang Liang in your mouth?
Isn’t it?
Could it be that Zheng can do the first year of junior high school, but Zhang Liang can't do the fifteenth grade?
Is Mrs. Zheng too domineering?"
Although Li Shentong was saying that the Zheng family was overbearing, he was actually mocking the wealthy family for being overbearing.
When Pei Ju heard this, he opened his mouth, but could not refute.
Because he couldn't admit that a wealthy family was overbearing. Especially he couldn't admit that a wealthy family was overbearing in front of Mr. Li.
The Li family is now a royal family. If your wealthy family shows your dominance in front of the Li family, how can the Li family tolerate you?
In this world, there are countless aristocratic families with a deeper foundation than the Li family, but who dares to stand in front of the stage and say that he is better than the Li family, and is better than the Li family?
Historically, those guys who ranked the "Clan Chronicle" ranked the Li family behind several wealthy families. Do they really think that the Li family is inferior to others?
Which wealthy families really dare to admit that they are better than the Li family?
It was just that those guys had their finger on Li Shimin's pulse and knew that Li Shimin was afraid and dissatisfied with the wealthy family, so they took the opportunity to give Li Shimin an excuse to weaken the wealthy family.
The fundamental purpose is to get promoted and make a fortune, not to stupidly tell Li Shimin that those wealthy families are more powerful and better than the Li family.
Even though the family history of the Li family is not as magnificent as other wealthy families, nor is the foundation as deep as other wealthy families, the Li family is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Li family's family fortune is also the first in the Tang Dynasty, and no other wealthy family can compare with it.
It is impossible for other wealthy families to be so foolish as to rush to the front and beat the Li family when arranging "Clan Chronicle".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, the "Clan Chronicle" historically ranked has a certain political purpose, rather than really ranking the clans.
If we really want to rank clans, the ranking method of "Hundred Family Surnames" is the real ranking method.
Therefore, as a member of a wealthy family, Pei Ju can feel in his heart that there are some wealthy families who are more powerful and better than the Li family, but he will never say it out loud, let alone admit it in front of the people of the Li family.
People are domineering.
"It's too early to say whether the Zheng family is domineering or not. The assassination of Zhang Liang's heirs has not yet been thoroughly investigated. The matter may not have been done by the Zheng family, but it may also have been framed by someone else.
Therefore, it is inappropriate for Zhang Liang to act rashly and take revenge privately."
After Pei Ju was defeated, Xiao Yu defended the Zheng family with fiery words.
Li Shentong glanced at Xiao Yu and sarcastically said again: "Does it matter whether it was done by the Zheng family? The person was assassinated on the Zheng family's territory. Even if it is not the Zheng family, it cannot be divorced from the Zheng family."
This is somewhat unreasonable.
But Xiao Yu did not refute.
Pei Ju, Wang Gui and others didn't think there was anything wrong.
Because in this era, the wealthy families have great control over the local area, so that they can clearly understand any small things that happen in the local area.
Therefore, it is completely unreasonable to say that the Zheng family was unaware of the assassination of Zhang Liang's son in Xingyang.
Even if it is found out later that it has nothing to do with Zheng, and Zheng did not know about it, then Zheng will also be jointly and severally responsible, because the incident happened on Zheng's property.
"I still feel that Zhang Liang's behavior was a bit reckless, and I have to wait until the investigation is clear before talking about it."
Xiao Yu insisted on his opinion.
Pei Ju then echoed: "This trend cannot last long, otherwise there will be conflicts among the nobles in the future. Everyone will retaliate against each other in private, and they will not hesitate to assassinate and use all kinds of force. Then the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos.
When everyone is in danger and revenge becomes commonplace, how will the Tang Dynasty develop and grow?"
Pei Ju's words have some truth to them, but they are still biased towards what Zheng is talking about.
Because his fundamental purpose was to exonerate Zheng and prevent Zhang Liang from using violence against Zheng.
However, even if he had selfish motives, his words still convinced Li Gang. Li Gang nodded, cupped his hands, and said to the throne: "Brother Pei's words are reasonable. This trend cannot last forever. Please send someone to Zhang Liang's mansion."
An order was uploaded to prohibit Zhang Liang from taking revenge in private.
As for the assassination of Zhang Liang's heir, Brother Pei has sent people to the Zheng family to ask for an explanation.
Then Mrs. Zheng will definitely give an explanation."
Old God Li Yuanji was sitting on the throne, listening to the bickering between Pei Ju, Li Shentong and others. After hearing what Li Gang said, he said calmly: "I stopped Zhang Liang from taking revenge, but I didn't punish Zheng at all.
Then if other wealthy families follow the example of the Zheng family, won't I have to do the same thing?
Isn’t that unfair to Zhang Liang and other military officials?”
Li Gang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "This matter is no longer a matter of fairness and justice, it is for the sake of the stability of the country."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I know Mr. Li is public-minded, but I can restrain the military officials, but I cannot restrain the wealthy family. If I ask Zhang Liang to give up revenge, it will be tantamount to attacking the wealthy family.
From now on, there will be big families and military ministers.
Contradictory, if I follow Zheng's approach, I can't restrain them, and I have to let the military officials under me calm down.
If things continue like this, which military minister will still be willing to follow me?"
Li Gang was speechless by this question.
The fault lies with the Zheng family. The head of the Zheng family is not in the court. The court has no way to order him to give an explanation to Zhang Liang. It has to go through people from other wealthy families.
The imperial court had no binding or disciplinary force on the Zheng family.
In this case, by wronging one of its own people and allowing the Zheng family to benefit, wouldn't the court be helping the Zheng family bear the price?
If things continue like this, and the monarch and his ministers are alienated from each other, how should the people of the Li family deal with themselves?
Therefore, in this matter, it is impossible for Li to force his own people to eliminate the trouble.
