Chapter 164 Danqing County Lord

Prince Li walked in, and Xia Quan hurriedly took him to the seat.

After he sat down, he gave Liang Taifu a faint glance, "Just now you said that with a title, you can mess up wives and concubines, is that what you mean?"

Mr. Liang knew that he was a shit-stirring stick, and if something didn't suit his wishes, he would relentlessly stalk him to the end. With so many people present today, it was not easy to offend him. Miss Ximen has passed through the door, as a daughter of the Xia family, kowtowing to Madam and offering tea to Madam is not unreasonable, is it?"

"Are you comparing common sense with the law?" Prince Li looked very angry, "In front of the law, any common sense of etiquette has to be shunned. Let this king be extremely disappointed."

Mrs. Liang's complexion was a little bad, "My lord doesn't have to be so serious."

"You told me not to be serious about the law? Is this what the imperial court said?" Prince Li pointed his gun at Murong Jie, "Regent, are you sitting here just for fun? Unreasonable things, not even half a word."

Murong Jie spread his hands together, made a gesture of helplessness, and said slowly: "What can I do? Xia Zi'an is my fiancée. If I speak for her, I will protect my shortcomings. I am annoyed by these messy things." It is a crime, so it is better to keep silent."

Prince Li looked at Murong Jie and said: "Since you temporarily take charge of the government on behalf of the emperor, you will be equal to the emperor when you come out. In your opinion, how should we settle this matter today?"

Murong Jie adjusted his sitting posture, but he was still very leisurely. He glanced at the people in the room, then at Zi'an, and said, "Is it just a matter of who kowtows to whom? ?Since there are laws and regulations, just follow the laws and regulations.”

Prime Minister Xia didn't say much all the time, but after hearing Murong Jie's words, he had no choice but to say, "My lord, I think that family affairs don't need to be discussed by law."

In other words, he asked Zian to kowtow and offer tea to Ximen Xiaoyue.

Prince Li frowned and said, "Family matter? How can this be considered a family matter? Do you think that what happened at home is a family matter? Could it be that you stabbed your mother to death, and it is not a family matter? It is ridiculous!"

Xia Cheng was very displeased with Prince Li's repeated difficulties, "Then what should we do according to the prince's opinion? You can't let the first-rank imperial lady salute to her, right?"

Prince Li shook his head, "No way, since you are involved in the title of Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, you have to choose another rule. Since Ximen Xiaoyue entered the mansion as a common wife, there is a distinction between concubines and concubines. Therefore, The main house, Mrs. Yuan, should also be sealed as a first-class wife. In this regard, when Ximen Xiaoyue was named Mrs. Xia, Prime Minister Xia should have entered the palace to ask for an order for Yuan. Fortunately, the regent is here now. Orally canonize first, and then invite Yuan Shi to come out and ask Ximen Xiaoyue to kowtow to Yuan Shi for tea, only in accordance with the rules and the law."

After finishing speaking, he actually ordered himself, "Come on, please come out Madam Xia."

Zi'an replied: "My lord, because the zodiac signs are in conflict, my mother has avoided staying in the mansion."

Prince Li was stunned, "Clash? The old lady? That should be avoided." Filial piety is the first, if you run into the old lady, the daughter-in-law should avoid it temporarily and wait until the month of the collision passes before returning.

"No, it was against the new lady, which was requested by the new lady." Zi'an said.

Prince Li was in a daze with anger. He was very angry with all the things that did not comply with the rules. It's not easy to talk about it.

"It's simply a shame in the barren world. The concubine actually let the wife of the house avoid it. Are you using your ass as a face? What's the rule for such a big face to let the wife avoid you?" Prince Li said angrily.

These words were too vulgar, Ximen Xiaoyue couldn't get off the stage on the spot, she was so angry that tears rolled in her eyes, and her fingertips were trembling.

Prime Minister Xia was also angry, and suddenly stood up and glared at Prince Li, "That's enough, Prince Li, today you have the honor of coming to drink this cup of wedding wine for Ben Xiang, and Ben Xiang is very happy, but you have repeatedly bullied my wife, and you are helping me." Xia Zi'an has already touched the bottom line of truth, and truth doesn't welcome such provocative guests."

Prince Li's face changed suddenly, "Don't rush me away first, why do you say that this king favors Xia Zi'an? Xia Zi'an is your daughter, and you, as a father, want this king to help you? First of all, the logic is messed up. You organize your thoughts and talk to this king. Since this king was named the prince of rites by the late emperor, and he is in charge of the ritual system of my Great Zhou Dynasty with the Ministry of Rites, I can't let you put the cart before the horse and mess up the hierarchy. , if you want to fight against this king today, this king will not be afraid of you."

Murong Jie said coolly: "Brother Huang, please be safe and don't be impatient. If there is anything wrong, just say it right."

He looked like an idler, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Prince Li nodded at Murong Jie, with an expression of approval, "Yes, you are right, there is no need for me to be angry, it makes sense."

He turned to look at the angry Prime Minister Xia, and said seriously: "First of all, I don't understand why you are so angry. It's none of your business to kowtow to anyone, so what's your business? And both of them belong to you." Madam, a courteous wife and an ordinary wife, you know who is superior and who is inferior, you are angry with me about what I said, and you said it to me, which sentence did I say wrong?"

Prime Minister Xia couldn't refute it, because he couldn't say that Prince Li's words were vulgar. If he repeated these words again, it would only hurt Ximen Xiaoyue's face.

Seeing this, Zian said with a clear and righteous look: "My lord, father, forget it, I will kowtow to the new wife."

Prince Li said solemnly: "No, the rules are the rules, you can't mess it up."

Zian looked particularly embarrassed, looking at Ximen Xiaoyue innocently, "New lady, look, what should I do?"

Ximen Xiaoyue was so angry that her lungs almost exploded, how could she still want to talk to Zi'an? But with so many people present, if she didn't answer, wouldn't it appear that she is narrow-minded?

Therefore, even though she felt unhappy in every possible way, she could only say: "If that's the case, why not invite everyone to a table and have a drink, and don't worry about this anymore."

Now that things had happened, she wouldn't naively think that Xia Zian would really kneel down and kowtow to her to offer tea and respect her as a mother.

I just ask Prince Li not to entangle her any longer, and just ask for a title for the Yuan family.

It's a pity that Prince Li never knew what compromise was, and principles were more important to him than anything else.

He said to Murong Jie: "It's not too much for me, the prince of ceremonies, to ask for the decree to be the Jin Dynasty of the Yuan family. It's reasonable, right?"

Murong Jie didn't seem to know, and looked at the prince and Liang Taifu, "What does the prince think? What does the Taifu think?"

Grand Tutor Liang managed to stay out of the matter, but he didn't expect Murong Jie to drag him into the water, so he couldn't help turning his face away, "It's good for the prince to be the master, and the ministers can't interfere with the matter of the imperial edict."

"Where is the prince?" Murong Jie looked at the prince again and asked, looking embarrassed.

The prince learned his lesson and did not dare to talk nonsense, "Uncle Huang will do as he sees."

Murong Jie sighed lightly, and said in great difficulty: "What can I do? I hate these tedious things the most. The wine jars outside have been hooking me. Forget it. Everyone must be hungry too, so there is no delay." While everyone was eating wine, this king decreed that Yuan's family should be made the head of Danqing County, three hundred households in the city, one thousand taels of gold, and one hundred mu of land. And if the compensation is inconsistent, this king intends to take it back and give it to Danqing County Lord, and then the Ministry of Rites will draw up a decree for canonization, and the inner government will issue and implement the decree within three days, without any mistakes."
