Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Lou Anning had a high fever that night from the southern suburbs, and the wind and cold recurred again. Knowing the cause and effect, Lou Shang returned from the next dynasty and went to Yuanninghou's mansion to argue in anger.

Before leaving the mansion, Lou Steward told him something, something that shocked the whole Luo Jing with lightning speed.

——The Marquis of Zhenbei broke into the Marquis of Yuanning and beat Ma Taifu!

After retiring from the imperial court, Emperor Zhenyuan, who had just eaten breakfast in Zhengyang Palace, heard the eunuch Dongsheng's report, stood up, and repeated a sentence quite unexpectedly: "Zhu Hou beat the grand master?"

The eunuch Dongsheng was also frightened by the news, tried his best to keep his tone steady, and said to His Majesty the Emperor calmly: "Yes, I heard that breakfast was only served at the Mansion of Yuanning Marquis at [-] o'clock, and the Marquis of Zhenbei broke in, directly Turned over the dining table, grabbed Master Taifu and asked about the young master. Knowing that the young master was sick in bed, Zhenbei Hou... knocked Taifu to the ground with one punch. After that... Zhenbeihou's mansion They even beat up the soldiers of the Marquis of Yuanning, and half of them may not be able to get out of bed this month."

Emperor Zhenyuan's face sank, "What's the reason?"

The two are Zhengyipin Hou's mansions, and the mansions have [-] soldiers. This kind of fight is already considered a small battle.At the feet of the majestic Son of Heaven, what matters should not be allowed to be judged by him, so bold and reckless, what a shame!

The eunuch Dongsheng felt the displeasure of Long Yan, his skin tightened, and he replied respectfully: "It is said that it was Huo Mu yesterday, Lord Changxin and the grandson of Zhenbei Hou, the two young masters of the Lou Shangshu family, the eldest grandson of the Qin Commander's Mansion, Jia The No.11 concubine of the Zhongshu Mansion ran a horse in the southern suburbs and had a conflict with the grandson of the Marquis of Yuanning. The grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei was seriously injured. The Marquis of Zhenbei was no longer in the mansion last night. When he got the news this morning, he went to the mansion of the Marquis of Yuanning gone."

"Ning Heng is here?"

Emperor Zhenyuan stopped and asked.

"Yes." Eunuch Dongsheng stopped, and said respectfully: "I heard that Mrs. Qin is also visiting Yuanninghou Mansion, and Lou Shangshu is already on his way."

Emperor Zhenyuan thought for a while and said: "You send someone to pass on my oral order to summon them into the palace, and no more disputes are allowed."

"Receive the order!"

"Also, call Ning Heng."

Eunuch Dongsheng hurried to make arrangements, and when the bitter masters entered the imperial study, Eunuch Dongsheng's eyelids twitched - Ma Taifu's face was bruised and swollen, and it was the first time that the always particular Taifu was so embarrassed in front of people.

"Your Majesty sees you—"

"My wife pays homage to Your Majesty—"

The five bowed down in unison. Before they could finish speaking, Emperor Zhenyuan said, "Excuse me, everyone, get up. Dongsheng, give me your seat."

When Emperor Zhenyuan saw Ma Taifu's appearance, he knew that this matter could not be done well, he frowned, and said: "Just after the early morning, several lovers made a fuss in Luojing, what is the reason for this?" Such a big fight."

Only Ma Taifu moved, Zhenbei Hou Zhu Chengyuan couldn't sit still, he got up and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please do justice for my poor grandson!"

The corner of Emperor Zhenyuan's eyes twitched, if it wasn't for his indignant look, the emperor really wanted to drag him down and beat him up.Beating up the Taifu, the head of the three princes in the current dynasty, like this, it is already lenient for him not to punish the crime, but this old man even let him make the decision for him.

"I still don't know the ins and outs, how can I make the decision? Zhu Aiqing please hurry up, and when I understand the reason, I will deal with it fairly."

He looked at Ma Taifu, then at the haggard-looking Mrs. Qin and the unhappy-looking Lou Shangshu, and he had some idea in his mind.He looked at Ning Heng who was looking down at the teacup intently, and the troublesome feeling became stronger.

Emperor Zhenyuan said: "Marquis Changxin, I heard that you were there yesterday, and I specially summoned you to explain to me what happened at that time. How come the descendants of the Marquis of Zhenbei were seriously injured, and the descendants of the Marquis of Yuanning were bedridden again?" , and the children of the Qin family and the Lou family are all implicated?"

The children of these families are all loved children from the families of important ministers of the Dajing clan, even if only one of them made a mistake, it would be a big deal, not to mention that it is a big deal now.

Hearing this, Ning Heng stood up, "Report to Your Majesty, five classmates and I went for a horse race in the southern suburbs yesterday. The descendants of Marquis Yuan Ning came one step ahead and brought thirty soldiers from the government to stop us. Then we asked to talk to Qin's parents Sun competed in equestrian skills. When the two competed, Yuanning Hou Shisun saw that the game was over, so he injected a thin needle smeared with medicine into the horse's buttocks, causing the horses to frantically try to throw Qin's grandson off the horse. Zhenbei Hou Shisun saw that the situation was critical, In order to save Qin Changsun, he injured his arm bone and almost lost his right hand, and his right palm was also seriously injured."

While speaking, Ning Heng's expression remained motionless, but a coldness flashed in his eyes covered by lowering his head.

"The grandson of the Marquis of Yuanning came back victorious, and had some quarrels with us. Later, when the crazy horses made trouble and the guards were weak, the grandson of the Marquis of Yuanning accidentally fell off his horse and passed out."

Emperor Zhenyuan: "..."

Before he could take back his emotional statement, Ma Taifu stood up uncontrollably and said, "Mr. Changxin, how can you turn black and white like this!"

"Yesterday, it is true that my grandson Ma Chao brought thirty soldiers from the government to the southern suburbs for an autumn hunt, but why did he do such a sinister thing? If so, then Qin Changsun and Master Lou are at fault? It was my grandson from the Marquis of Yuanning who fell from his horse and nearly broke his spine and was paralyzed on the bed. I still want to seek justice from you all. Although my Marquis of Yuanning’s mansion is not as good as yours, it is not possible. Let others bully!"

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei rushed into the private residence of the Hou family with his soldiers at dawn today, fisted and kicked the old ministers without saying a word, and even more recklessly beat nearly [-] soldiers in my house to serious injuries. Such lawless actions, Clearly flouting the king's law—"

Ning Heng looked coldly at Ma Taifu who was filled with righteous indignation and his face was bruised, and saw that he was targeting Zhenbeihou, so he interrupted: "Yuanninghou means that I, Ning Heng, framed Ma Shisun."

"Justice is in the heart—"

Ma Taifu's upright words were interrupted by a communication, and the eunuch who communicated outside the imperial study raised his voice to announce: "Your Majesty, the empress is asking to see you."

Emperor Zhenyuan, who was about to defend Ma Taifu in his heart, suddenly turned cold, and said in a cold voice: "Women in the harem, the most important place in the imperial study, are not allowed to set foot. The empress is so reckless, knowing that she broke the law, let her go back and confine her feet to think about her mistakes."

The eunuch Dongsheng hurriedly responded, and walked quickly to the imperial study room to pass on the emperor's oral order.

Ma Taifu quickly knelt down, instead of defending the queen, he said: "I have no way to teach my daughter, please be punished by Your Majesty."

He said that, Emperor Zhenyuan couldn't hold on to this matter any longer, embarrassing the empress and Tai Tuo in front of several clan ministers, so he endured his displeasure and said: "I know that the empress just cares about her nephew and is impatient. Mistakes will only be made in the next. However, the rules of the harem are clear, and the empress, as the mother of a country, must be cautious in her words and deeds, so that she can be a mother to the world."

Emperor Zhenyuan said, exposing this stubble, and said: "The two Qing families have their own opinions, so please let Mrs. Qin and Lou Shangshu also talk about it."

Mrs. Qin stood up and saluted and said: "The minister's wife knows that it is even more dangerous than what the Lord Changxin said. This matter is due to the fact that on the [-]th of last month, the descendants of Yuanning Marquis came to my house and forced the minister's wife, grandson and Jia's family. A child came to Liu Zuoxiang's residence. Ma Shisun spoke abruptly to Zuoxiang's daughter-in-law. After arguing and defending, the minister's wife and grandson accidentally pushed Ma Shisun into the lotus pond."

"The family has used the family law to punish him severely, and made an apology to Yuan Ninghou. At that time, Yuan Ninghou also said that this matter was caused by a child's quarrel, so there is no need to take it to heart, and the minister's wife also thought that the matter was exposed. Unexpectedly, But that child from the Ma family is holding a grudge, he found out that my grandson went to the southern suburbs with his friends today, and he was accompanied by a guard, so he led thirty soldiers to block the road to—”

"Qin Zhang, don't make one-sided assertions—"

Lou Shangshu got up suddenly, bowed to Emperor Zhenyuan, and interrupted: "Master Taifu, my two grandsons have nothing to do with the grievances between your two houses. If I say it, you should not generalize it with one-sided words. Bar?"

"Lou Shangshu, you..."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my youngest grandson has just recovered from a serious illness in the past two days, so he invited friends to the southern suburbs to relax. Unexpectedly, he suffered an unreasonable disaster!"

Lou Shangshu, contrary to his usual meekness, glared at Taifu Ma with a sullen face and said, "My two grandsons witnessed the children of the Qin family almost dying, and also saw the children of the Zhu family with blood on their hands. As for the inability to fall asleep due to nightmares. My grandson has suffered a relapse because of this, and now he is lying on the bed and dragging me to cry for help... Could it be that the child's words in his dreams are also a scheme to frame you and the Marquis of Yuanning? Could it be, Ma Taifu? Do you think that when we go back to the court, we will conspire with Changxinhou, Zhenbeihou, and Mrs. Qin to slander a child?"

"Teacher, you are full of peaches and plums, and you know how to teach and educate people best. Why did you not order him to repent when your own grandson made such a big mistake? Instead, you covered up his crimes and mistakes for him? You don't love him, you It was to kill him!"

Ma Taifu just learned today that the bite of a dog that doesn't bark hurts the most.

There are times when the dull minister of the Ministry of Industry is so eloquent!

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to seek justice for his grandson who was seriously injured on the bed under everyone's words.

Emperor Zhenyuan saw that he was tongue-tied, and secretly sighed that the eloquent Master Tai Tuo was here today, and immediately said: "Ning Heng, do you have evidence?"

Ning Heng said indifferently: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although the needle in the rear of Crazy Horse was taken out, please let people know the injury at a glance. Moreover, Ma Shisun acted honestly, and the matter of seriously injuring Qin Changsun was in full view. , and the [-] soldiers from the Marquis of Yuanning are all witnesses."

Emperor Zhenyuan waved his hand, whether or not the evidence was verified would not affect his judgment and decision.

"Teacher, the cause and effect of this matter are clear, so I don't need to ask any more. The fault of Ma Shisun should be dealt with seriously, but the child is only at the age of ignorance, and he acts impulsively. As an elder, I can't ask his life to make amends to the Qing family." You must be disciplined well, if such misdeeds are reported before his crown age, and he does not repent, the position of Marquis of Yuanning cannot be handed over to a person with bad conduct."

Ma Taifu paled in shock, and hurriedly knelt down.

Before he could say the words of apology for his lack of teaching, Emperor Zhenyuan had already said: "As for how the Marquis of Yuanning should make amends to your family, I will not interfere. Just remember, the courtiers and Tai are my Da Jing'an. The foundation of a nation, I only hope that you and others will turn hostility into friendship and be loyal to Dajing together."

"...Old minister, keep this in mind."

Ma Taifu's lips trembled, and he finally swallowed what he was going to say.

Only then did Emperor Zhenyuan look at the other four people and said: "This matter involves the precious descendants of each government. I will not intervene in how to deal with it. I just hope that everyone can resolve this dispute calmly and don't cause trouble between the two governments." Such a thing as a private fight between soldiers! If it happens again, I will not tolerate it."

"The minister obeys the order."

"The minister obeys the order."

The four said in unison.

Emperor Zhenyuan and everyone else present understood that although this incident was caused by a child's impulsiveness, since the First Battle of Fengqi Mountain, the relatives and important ministers of the Luojing clan who have loved their children to the point of madness, It is impossible to clear up the previous suspicions without any barriers with the other party.

The root of the disaster was planted here, and Emperor Zhenyuan sighed secretly, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for the royal family.
