Chapter six hundred and eighty eighth cleverness is mistaken by cleverness
Changsun Wuji didn't know he was smart but was fooled by his cleverness.
He beat Changsun Chong just to show his attitude.
Although Changsun Chong looked very miserable at this time, he was actually pretending. Changsun Wuji was naturally reluctant to be cruel.
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "My daughter is virtuous and virtuous, and I can't bear to beat her. Your eldest grandson is so brave."
"Your Majesty, please punish me for the death penalty." Changsun Wuji said.
Knowing that he could not really do anything to the eldest son's family, eldest son Wuji opened his mouth and kept silent about the death penalty, which made Li Shimin feel disgusted.
Empress Changsun frowned slightly. She didn't understand why her always wise brother was so confused today.
This matter can be big or small. If Changsun Wuji rushes over with his intact eldest grandson, Li Shimin will punish him and make a show of it.
But if you beat someone like this now, how can Li Shimin punish him?
What does Li Shimin think of the death penalty for opening his mouth and keeping silent?
"Changsun Wuji failed to teach his son well, and he was fined a year's salary and kept in isolation to think about his mistakes."
Li Shimin paused, looked at Changsun Chong, and said: "Changsun Chong is treasonous and treasonous by beating the princess. He will be taken into custody by the clan's mansion and will be tried by the clan's mansion."
The Zongren Mansion manages the royal family members. If the royal children make mistakes, the local officials have no right to arrest them. All cases are tried by the Zongren Mansion.
The eldest grandson's family is a foreign relative, so logically speaking, it is not under the control of the clan.
But now that Changsun Chong has married the princess, the clan mansion can take care of it.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji's heart sank.
If he were imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, Changsun Chong would not suffer hardship there because of his reputation.
But the Zongren Mansion is different.
Since ancient times, emperors have been wary of clans and restricted their rights, but they have chosen to give more weight to their relatives.
Because for the emperor, people from the clan may compete for his position, and the rights of relatives come from the emperor, which makes it easier to control.
This is also the reason why there are so many examples in history where relatives have exclusive power, and why so many emperors still reuse the clan.
This has also led to the fact that the clan and relatives have not dealt with him since ancient times.
However, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that the current Zong of the Zongren Mansion was Li Xiaogong.
Since Li Xiaogong was suspected by Li Yuan, he began to hide his capabilities and bide his time, and began to enjoy himself drunkenly.
Even if other people in the clan wanted to do something to Changsun Chong, Li Xiaogong would stop them.
Because whenever something happens to Changsun Chong in the Zongren Mansion, Li Xiaogong will be responsible.
In order not to offend Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong could not let Changsun Chong get into trouble.
"Gao Yang, you will live in the palace during this period." Li Shimin said.
"Thank you, Father, for making the decision for your son." Princess Gaoyang said with sobs. (After checking, it seems that both the prince and the princess in the Tang Dynasty called themselves "son". If it is wrong, just write it like this, don't complain!)
"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted and walked away.
As soon as Li Shimin left, two imperial soldiers came in immediately, saluted Queen Changsun, and rushed down with Changsun in her arms.
"Come here, take Princess Gaoyang back to the palace where she lived before, and arrange some people to take care of her." Queen Changsun said.
Princess Gaoyang stood up and saluted: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother."
"Well, you can relax and recuperate. I will ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at you later." Empress Changsun said softly.
Princess Gao Yang bowed and stepped back without even looking at Changsun Wuji.
"You all go down," Queen Changsun said.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace bowed and retreated.
"Brother, please get up." Queen Changsun said.
"I am guilty and have put the Queen in trouble." Changsun Wuji said after standing up.
Although Empress Changsun always called him brother, Changsun Wuji was worried about leaving an excuse for others, so she always called him empress.
"Brother, I won't ask about the specifics of this matter. Gao Yang has been raised by my side since he was a child. Although his personality is a bit bad, he is not a troublesome person. However, Chong'er beat her up. As a father, you usually
How did you discipline him?" Queen Changsun did not give Changsun Wuji a good look.
Changsun Wuji said: "It was my lack of discipline that made him do such a stupid thing. I will discipline him strictly in the future."
"Chong'er is confused? I think it's you who are confused! You beat Chong'er like this and brought him over for His Majesty to punish him. People are like that, how do you want Your Majesty to punish him?" Empress Changsun said angrily.
Changsun Wuji's face suddenly changed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He is a smart man, and as soon as Empress Changsun said this, he knew that he had done something stupid.
"Also, are you threatening His Majesty by opening your mouth and keeping silent about the death penalty?" Queen Changsun said.
"I don't dare!" Changsun Wuji said hurriedly.
Queen Changsun sighed and said: "Brother, I know you have always been determined to develop the Changsun family into a family like the Five Surnames and Qiwang. The Changsun family is my mother's family. I also hope that the Changsun family will be well, but I am also a queen.
, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, your majesty cannot tolerate aristocratic families, so I naturally support your majesty. My brother is a smart person and should know what to do."
These words have nothing to do with Princess Gaoyang being beaten. They are simply Empress Changsun beating Changsun Wuji.
Since the Xuanwumen Incident, Changsun Wuji's power has greatly increased, and the Guanlong Group has vague intentions of being headed by the Changsun family.
However, the Changsun family has a shallow foundation and few people. It is only because she is the queen that it is what it is today.
Li Shimin suppressed the family, and Changsun Wuji's actions were contrary to Li Shimin's, which made Queen Changsun a little worried.
"Queen, don't worry, I understand." Changsun Wuji said.
"I hope brother really understands." After a pause, Empress Changsun said: "Chong'er will wait until His Majesty's anger subsides. I will help you deal with it. You can go back first."
"Thank you, Queen." Changsun Wuji bowed and left.
…
In the evening, the family had a happy meal.
During this period, Zhang Qing kept praising Li Lizhi, saying that she not only kept her home in order, but also greeted her every day in the morning and evening.
Li Lizhi was so embarrassed that she was praised.
Returning to the courtyard after dinner, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "My wife has performed so well during my husband's absence. How do you want your husband to reward you?"
Li Lizhi blushed pretty and said: "Husband, you haven't visited Aunt Guo yet when you came back. Go and see her quickly. She must be waiting impatiently."
Lin Xuan touched his nose in embarrassment. Naturally, he also wanted to see Guo Caiyue, but he was embarrassed to speak. Now that Li Lizhi said this, he was a little moved and felt a little sorry for her.
Li Lizhi saw Lin Xuan's dilemma and said: "Husband, go quickly, I can't keep occupying you. If word spreads, others will say that I am jealous."
Lin Xuan knew that Li Lizhi said this because she didn't want him to feel guilty.
If a woman dominates her husband, she will indeed be said to be jealous.
But the princess would not do that. Other princesses did not allow the concubine to take concubines. Li Lizhi did not stop him from taking concubines, and he was already very virtuous.
However, Lin Xuan did miss Guo Caiyue a little. Because Guo Caiyue was a concubine, she was not even qualified to go out to greet her.
"Then I'll go."
"Go." Li Lizhi gently arranged Lin Xuan's clothes.
