After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Qiao Huan felt very heavy.

He was not unprepared, but he was still taking chances. He remembered that when he was young, when he became a disciple of Duke Langyi, his father still cherished him very much. His father patted his still weak shoulder and couldn't put it down. An ancient inkstone was given to him and he went to war for the first time. His father knelt down in the clan temple and asked his ancestors to help him return home safely. When he fought on the battlefield, his father was worried and fell ill. When he returned, his father was barely alive with withered bones.

How did such a deep love between father and son lead to today's impasse in court?

Outside the Tingwei Office, among the many onlookers, there stood a woman in plain clothes and a white skirt, with her hair tied only by a silver crown. Just by looking at her outfit, Qiao Fu guessed that it was Madam Xue. He recalled that one day in Zhou Dynasty. What Jing said to him - Although the prince and his juniors are military officers, they are as good as celebrities in terms of moral integrity, courage and bravery, but they are inevitably indecisive because of family matters. Recently, a woman's husband recommended herself, and I had a long conversation with her. Only then did I realize that a woman's strategy is not inferior to that of a man's husband. Mrs. Xue was quick-witted and not only solved a problem for the younger generation, but when she mentioned it, she realized that she also had some advice in advance for the troubles in the prince's family. The difficulties of the younger generation are quite similar to the prince's worries. The younger generation has become enlightened, and she hopes that the prince will also Can relieve the wrist.

Qiao Fu hurriedly entered the court office and stepped into the execution hall. He saw Ying Shu sitting on the side, and he couldn't help but think of his wife's words: "Zizhan had not returned to the court at that time. I originally thought of using Dongzhi's confession. At most, I asked a few clan chiefs to serve as witnesses and persuaded Father Weng not to use such devious methods to embarrass us again, just to deal with this accident in the past. But Emperor Xiu came out of the palace to persuade me, saying that it was a disaster. The real trouble for Qiujia is Concubine Qiao. If she fails to succeed this time, she will definitely cause trouble. And no matter how careful we are, we can't guarantee that the worries will be completely eliminated. We can only... use the trick to completely prevent Concubine Qiao from using it. The thoughts of the family are good for both the family and His Highness."

The separation is not about the entire Pingyi Qiao family, but father, son and siblings, the closest flesh and blood. This time the winner is bound to be determined. If Qiao Fu loses, he will not only be exterminated and deprived of the right to inherit the title, he will also be punished. Under the severe punishment of the law, his life and that of his youngest son will not be saved. His family will be ruined and his reputation will be ruined. But if he becomes a winner... As a son of a man, he cannot destroy his family by respecting his father, but between father and son, and between brothers , will inevitably become a stranger.

Such a plan has never appeared in Qiao Huan's consciousness.

But he knew that Yingshu's proposal was to protect the entire Pingyi Qiaomen, to ensure that he could continue to serve the country and the country, and to nip all disasters in the bud. He knew this truth and could see it. benefits, but it was difficult for him to make such a determination.

Before today, he had always been hoping for a "peaceful solution".

Qiao Fu stood in the torture hall and bowed his hands to Gu Geng. Gu Geng stood up and returned the salute. Qiao Fu saw Ying Shu standing up and kneeling to salute him. He nodded to Ying Shu. The deep and wide execution hall was still silent at this moment. , but Qiao Huan seemed to hear the sound of the war trumpet, but this time he was neither wearing armor nor holding a sword, and he no longer had the strength to fight on the battlefield. He was only filled with helplessness and sadness. He sat down, surrounded by only the same elders. When he sued his rebellious and unfilial son Qiao Qian, his opponent made him realize that the ridiculous "enemy" was his biological father and his compatriots and siblings.

"Ting Wei Qing, Qiao Hu and Qiao Qian are prisoners, how can they sit in the execution hall?" Qiao Ke was already extremely dissatisfied when he saw Gu Geng getting up and returning the courtesy to Qiao Hu. He felt that the executioner was obviously being so polite to the prisoners. With the intention of partiality, it is even more difficult to tolerate that his two "unfilial" children and grandchildren can still sit on the couch.

Yingshu saw that Qiao Ke had already "rided into battle", but the prince's uncle seemed to be still immersed in melancholy - no wonder he was sad, no one would be happy if he met such a confused father, and the prince's uncle should not be slandered at all. According to the argument, she could not go into battle to attack her biological father head-on. Now that she came to the Tingwei Office, she had to be a pawn for Uncle Qiao's family.

"When Ting Weiqing decides the case, of course you can't just look at the complaint written by the plaintiff and identify who is the criminal. Ting Weiqing hasn't asked the case yet, so why is Pingyi Bo disturbing the court?"

"You inexperienced girl..." Seeing that Qiao Hu and his son were not angry, Yang Bao decided that his opponent must have a guilty conscience. After all, he was a humble child. How could he dare to disobey his relatives in public? ! He was confident that he would win, so he hurried to help, fearing that if he didn't show enough enthusiasm, his achievements would be wiped out by Pingyi Bo afterwards.

Yingshu glanced at Yang Bao and said, "Do you still need to remind Yang Gong? Your Majesty ordered me to come here to supervise the case. Yang Gong is a witness for the plaintiff and is suspected of slandering the court ministers. In the execution hall, he even spoke rudely to the imperial envoy. Regarding Yang Gong's words and deeds, I will definitely retaliate to the emperor."

Qiao Qian tilted his head slightly and looked at Ying Shu in surprise.

A few months ago, during the Shangyuan Festival, the little girl who complained about his inability to win because she lost to him in the pot throw was admittedly sharp-tongued and ruthless, but this was the execution hall of the Tingwei Department! Even he was anxious because he had to answer the lawsuit. How could this fifth sister, who he had always regarded as delicate and unreasonable, have the courage to rebut the elders loudly and directly in the execution hall? !

But she rebutted well, rebutted brilliantly, and made people sit up and take notice.

Qiao Qian clenched his fists slightly. In the past few days, although he still lived with his mother in the Villa in Moling Lake and was not directly scolded by his grandfather and uncle, he could not be happy after all. The thick haze filled his whole body. Surrounded by him, he was confused and anxious, and he was also very upset. Unlike his two brothers, he had already been on the battlefield, so he was so timid.

But now, his mood suddenly became brighter.

It turned out that his anxiety stemmed from his family scandal being publicized. He was afraid that his family and even his whole clan would become a laughing stock. But now he is not worried. The fifth sister was right. His father and he were framed by his grandfather, and they did nothing wrong. What, not afraid of the praise and criticism of the world.

He heard Ting Weiqing ask slowly: "Pingyi Bo is suing your eldest son, the prince of Pingyi Bo and Guangwei General Qiao Zizhan, for disobedience and unfilial piety. I have read the complaint you wrote and found out the true nature of the crime you have accused. Do you think that Prince Qiao’s wife has committed seven crimes and should be divorced, but the prince refuses to write a letter of divorce?”

Qiao Qian wanted to defend himself, but as soon as he said a word, his father interrupted him: "Ting Weiqing didn't ask you to answer."

Yingshu smiled at Qiao Qian and made a calm gesture.

Among the three sons of Uncle Qiao's family, the youngest son Qiao Qian is the most impatient. The horses he raises have eaten less forage and are a little bit in low spirits. He can be so anxious that he can't eat well or sleep well. He never allowed a woman to get close to his horse - he was afraid that the perfume on the woman's body would smell like a horse - Cousin Qian only saw whether the horse was handsome, but could not see whether the woman was beautiful or not. It was really a shame for Pingyi Bo. After all, you actually planned to frame him for raping his father and his concubine? Who can believe this!

The execution hall was deep and wide. Although the plaintiff and defendant were sitting opposite each other, they were far away. Qiao Qian reminded Qiao Qian and lowered his voice again. Qiao Ke’s almost deaf ears could not hear, but he had to let the maids Only by speaking close to his ear can he "hear" the words.

However, one could still hear Gu Geng's question, and he answered with a loud voice: "Exactly! The Ren family has committed seven crimes, and Taigong Yang also knows about this matter. Both Taigong Yang and Taijun Yang are the elders of the Ren family. Because of his attachment to Chen Junjun, he is not able to thank him. If he slanders the Taijun of the Yang family, isn't this an act of humiliation and offending his respect? It should be treated as disobedience to his relatives and his respect, and he should go!"

Yang Biao quickly said: "The one who slandered Ren is my wife, but it is not convenient for my wife to come to the execution hall. I also know the details of this matter, so I will explain the case on my behalf today."

"Then I'll ask Mr. Yang." Yingshu interrupted without hesitation. She was here to supervise the trial, but she couldn't just be a spectator. When something was unclear, she naturally had the right to ask clearly: "Uncle Pingyi just said that Ren Nujun Intending to cling to Chen Junxie is a precursor to slandering Mr. Yang, does Yang Gong agree with it?"

"of course."

"This is strange. If Ren Nujun can attach herself to Chen Junxie, what does it have to do with Yang Taijun?"

"Ms. Ren wanted to marry Xie Baniang for her eldest son, but she was worried about being rejected by Xun Nvjun, Xie Baniang's mother, so she begged her concubine to come forward. However, when the matter failed, Ms. Ren in turn scolded her concubine for making her own decisions and offending Mr. Xun. My wife is using all kinds of slanderous words."

"Did Ms. Ren go to Yang's house and slander Taijun Yang in public?"

"My wife had to inform Mrs. Ren because something was not done, so she went to the other garden where Mrs. Ren is."

"Can Yang Gong go with us?"

"Absurd! At that time, only the Ren family and other female family members and junior Qiao Qian were in the Moling Garden. How could I go there easily?"

"So, Lord Yang didn't hear Lady Ren's words of slandering Taijun Yang. Even Uncle Pingyi only listened to Taijun Yang's one-sided words?"

"At that time, my wife also went to Moling Villa with Taijun Yang." Qiao Xi finally rode into battle.

Yingshu smiled: "I'll ask Mr. Yang again, and also Mr. Qiao, when did Mr. Yang and He Nvjun go to Moling Villa?"

This question was wrong, and both Yang Bao and Qiao Xi were stunned, because Yang Taijun and the He family did not go to Moling Villa at all. However, Yang Bao remembered the day when Yang Taijun went to find Xue Xuanqing's theory. In the end, Xue Xuanqing was refuted and speechless. He had an idea and told the story of the day, and added: "It was because my wife had been slandered for no reason that I went to see Ren the next day. First, let Ren He had no desire to cling to him, and on the other hand, he naturally hoped that Mr. Ren would tell the truth, but he was slandered by Mr. Ren."

"Prince Qiao had already returned to the court at that time. Do you know about this?" Yingshu asked.

Qiao Zizhan finally had a chance to speak: "Although I have returned to the court, I was in the military camp for those few days, and I never heard my wife mention my family affairs. However, the little dog has been living in Bieyuan with my wife."

"The date mentioned by Grand Duke Yang is clearly remembered by the younger generation. In the early morning of that day, Lady Xun invited my mother to come to the house to talk about it. My mother went to the house at the invitation. It was the younger generation who drove the car in person. Later, in order to eliminate the misunderstanding, Lady Xun returned the car. He stayed with my mother for lunch attentively, and it was not until early in the afternoon that my mother and the younger generation returned to the garden. Taigong Yang claimed that at noon that day, Taijun Yang and his aunt had a dispute with my mother, but at that time, my mother was at the Duke's Mansion in Wuyi Lane. superior."

Not to mention that day, for many days in the future, it was impossible for Ren Nujun to have time to meet with Yang Taijun and He.

"What did Yang Gong say?" Ying Shu asked with a smile.

"Maybe I forgot the date."

"Where's Mr. Qiao, have you also forgotten?"

Qiao Xi:......

He gritted his teeth and said: "I really can't remember the exact date, but my wife clearly said that Li Xue, who humiliated my aunt in public, must have been instructed by Mrs. Ren. If it wasn't that day, it should have been my aunt. The period after the humiliation in Taiping.”

"Uncle, what you said is untrue." Qiao Qian couldn't bear it any longer: "Mr. Xie Baniang worshiped her mother as her teacher and asked her mother to teach her piano skills. Xie Baniang then went to stay in Bieyuan. Later, Lu Nvjun heard about this and stayed in Bieyuan for a while. It was not until three days ago that Lu Nvjun I also invited Xie Baniang to stay at the Langyi Duke’s Mansion because three days ago, my grandfather forced my father to give my mother a letter of divorce, so it was inconvenient for my mother to have another distinguished guest!"
