Chapter 673

Although the Mohist family's reputation for relieving Qianchou was slightly damaged by the rumor of using poisonous food, with the news that Tibetan sorghum was used as raw material, the listing of exquisite crystal relieving Qianchou took advantage of the Mohist family's victory over the Luoyang aristocratic family and became popular in Chang'an city again.

Moreover, jieqianchou was the first high alcohol in the Tang Dynasty. If you can't drink enough, you may get drunk soon. Before long, Lu Shuang was drunk in the restaurant.

However, while Lu Shuang was drunk, the emperor's new Chong Hua Zheng, who had an engagement with Lu Shuang, spread like wildfire in Chang'an City and was soon spread.

"Villain! Do you know how much trouble you have caused!"

In the house. Fang Xuanling stared at Fang Yiai angrily, holding a ruler in her hand, and was about to greet Fang Yiai.

"Dad, I'm talking about righteousness! Lu Shuang and Zheng Chang are so hateful that they are robbing openly. I can't see it anymore." Fang Yiai immediately ran away with his head in his arms and explained.

"You still have reason to use force at the foot of the emperor." Fang Xuanling was angry and raised the family law together.

"Well, you'll kill Erlang if you fight again." Lu rushed over and protected the house's love.

"Mother!" Fang Yiai quickly hid beside Lu.

Seeing Lu's anger, Fang Xuanling said angrily, "you are used to being a good son! This boy not only joined the western regions chamber of commerce without permission, but also detained the people in Luoyang and blackmailed them for a large ransom!"

"So what?" Lu Shi was not moved.

Fang Xuanling was furious and said, "are you still used to him?"

Lu did not care and said, "the chamber of Commerce in the western regions is not fighting for profits with the people. Erlang can't inherit your title. He will be carefree in the future. Why not!"

"What about the ransom?" Fang Xuanling said angrily.

"Since the Luoyang aristocratic family has done something wrong, it must have the consciousness of paying a price. In my opinion, it's cheap for them to take some money." Lu said fiercely.

Although the Lu family has an alliance with the Luoyang aristocratic family, the Lu family has no feelings for these distant relatives and will naturally safeguard their son's interests.

"Yes! My father won't just let the Luoyang aristocratic family go!"

Fang Yiai immediately exclaimed that it was impossible for him to spit out the fat in his mouth.

Fang Xuanling reluctantly put down the yardstick and said, "since it has been done, it's not good to talk back. When the ransom in Luoyang arrives, donate it to the Red Cross immediately!"

"All donated?" Lu said painfully. It's a lot of money!

"Women's opinion, don't you think your majesty doesn't know such a big news? Donating to the Red Cross is also a disaster relief for the house." Fang Xuanling glared at Fang Yiai with hatred.

Others don't know Li Shimin. As prime minister, Fang Xuanling naturally knows how strong Li Shimin has control over the whole Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin naturally sends people to watch such a big business war between Luoyang aristocratic family and Mojia village. How can he hide what happened on the brick road from Li Shimin.

"Ah!" Fang Yiai was stunned and said, "I will donate it to the Red Cross society according to my father."

"Remember, you must donate anonymously, otherwise if it is spread, the house will donate so much money, I'm afraid I can't wash it when I jump into the Yellow River." Fang Xuanling ordered uneasily.

"Don't worry, father. The child knows what to do." Fang Yiai nodded.

"Take good care of your good son. I have to go to the palace!" Fang Xuanling complained to Lu.

"Entering the palace, why do you want to enter the palace at this time? Isn't there no official business today?" Lu was dissatisfied. It was not easy for Fang Xuanling to rest for a long time and even go to court.

Fang Xuanling sighed: "it has been spread all over the palace. Your Majesty's newly sealed Chong Hua Zheng had an engagement with the Lu family. Today, it must be to discuss this matter."

Lu Shi was surprised and said, "there is still this matter?"

Immediately, Lu took care of Fang Xuanling, put on his clothes, boarded the carriage and went directly to the palace.

Tai Chi hall.

"Had an engagement?" Li Shimin frowned when he heard the news that Zheng and Lu Shuang had an engagement.

Wei Zheng stepped out of the line and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is indeed an engagement. Most of the Zheng and Lu families have married. Lu Shuang and Zheng have made a marriage. This is well known and not a secret."

"There's such a thing!" Li Shimin exclaimed. This was the first time he heard that the woman he liked had been engaged to someone else. It's strange that Li Shimin was in a good mood.

Linghu dehu, the Minister of rites, said angrily when he heard the speech: "Zheng had an engagement, but he deceived the king and flattered the royal family! Please order a thorough investigation of the crimes of the Zheng family."

Linghu Dexian was originally a member of Guanlong aristocratic family. He was wrong with Luoyang aristocratic family. Naturally, he was happy to fall into a well. What's more, Linghu Dexian was an official of the Ministry of rites. It was within his scope of responsibility to have such things happen.

Many officials of Luoyang aristocratic family trembled when they heard the speech. Bullying the king is not a very serious crime. If the Zheng family is allowed to sit down, I'm afraid it will not be good.

An official of Luoyang aristocratic family hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, it is still unknown whether Zheng and Lu Shuang have an engagement. Moreover, your majesty has ordered that any engagement less than 14 will be invalidated. As long as they have not made a new engagement, it will not be regarded as cheating the king."

"Oh! I did issue this edict!" Li Shimin's face slowed down a little.

Wei Zheng snorted coldly, "even so, it's not polite. Now the engagement between Zheng and Lu has spread all over Chang'an and Luoyang. I'm afraid it will damage your Majesty's reputation."

Wei Zheng's worry is not unreasonable. Those who know the truth naturally know that their engagement has been invalidated. However, the people who do not know the truth must think that Li Shimin is stealing love with a knife.

As soon as Wei Zheng made a sound, many civil servants immediately agreed. It would be extremely inappropriate if such scandals came out of the harem.

When the courtiers fell to one side, to everyone's surprise, Fang Xuanling suddenly listed and said: "Zheng Xu married Lu, there is no manifestation, not to mention the great ceremony between his majesty and Zheng, which can not be stopped."

The ministers were stunned. They didn't expect that Fang Xuanling would take the initiative to defend the Zheng family.

But I don't know Fang Xuanling's bitterness. The reason why he got involved in this kind of thing is not to wipe his son's ass and help the Zheng family once, so as to resolve the gratitude and resentment with the Luoyang aristocratic family.

And Fang Xuanling's words just said that in Li Shimin's heart, if there was no previous imperial edict to abolish the marriage contract under the age of 14, Li Shimin would give up for his reputation as magnanimous as in history.

But now he is not rude, and the imperial edict of Zheng has been issued. If he is allowed to do it himself, he will not want to do it in his heart.

"Your Majesty, before the minister came, Lu Shuang asked Wei minister to make a statement. Zheng and Lu were originally in marriage, but they had close financial contacts and had no marriage agreement. In addition, the two families may have close relatives, so it is naturally impossible to get engaged." an official of Luoyang aristocratic family said that he came with the advice of the Zheng family. He must spare no effort to promote Zheng Chonghua, As for Lu Shuang's watch, it is also true. Even if he drowns his worries with wine, he can only write it obediently under the pressure of Luoyang aristocratic family, not to mention that their engagement has been dissolved.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "in that case, we'll stop discussing this matter at this time and discuss it again after the matter is found out."

Wei Zheng immediately frowned. If he had followed Li Shimin's character in the past, he would not allow such things that might damage his reputation. However, today's Li Shimin was beyond his expectation and seemed to be different.

"It's just that you Aiqing are here, and Qingque's local chronicles also has unexpected results. How about your love to open my eyes with me?" Li Shimin laughed and changed the topic.

"Dare not obey orders!" the ministers immediately bowed.
