Chapter 113 The Princess Who Has Been Small by 3
Bao Zheng's heart was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Princess Leping with sharp eyes.
Princess Leping also stared at him with a half-smile.In the past, she was so angry by Bao Zheng that she was speechless, but today she finally got her revenge.
Prime Minister Wang watched Bao Zheng and Princess Leping fighting in the air, as if he smelled gunpowder.He recalled that Bao Zheng's face changed drastically after hearing the last sentence. What was the princess' last sentence saying?
Will you ask the cat for help?
cat...?
Prime Minister Wang's mind immediately flashed Zhan Zhao who was conferred the title of "Royal Cat" by the emperor.
Prime Minister Wang couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.Zhan Zhao had visited the county magistrate's mansion at night in order to obtain the steel knife Han Qi used to commit suicide before, but he did not expect to visit the princess' mansion at night again.If the emperor knew about it, he might suspect that Zhan Zhao would also visit the palace at night in the future, or had already visited the palace at night.Yep, another crime of beheading!
Bao Zheng clenched his teeth, his face was pale, and he said, "Is Her Royal Highness threatening the minister?"
"Why would Lord Bao think so?" Princess Leping cocked her lips slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a bit sinister: "I just want to reciprocate and benefit with the two adults. You want Chen Shimei to take care of Qin Xianglian, I think If you want to divorce the consort, the final result is to reunite their family of four. In this case, why don't we choose to cooperate? Although there is no such precedent for the princess to divorce her husband in this dynasty, there are many in the past dynasties. And you said the princess Husband Husband is a precedent, so what about Chen Shimei refusing to report to the royal family to become a consort? Isn’t this a precedent? If Chen Shimei didn’t punish her in the end and returned the blessings of Queen E and Ying to enjoy the blessings of everyone, those who are greedy for wealth Everyone learns from him, isn't my Princess of Song Dynasty a joke in the world!?"
Bao Zheng and Prime Minister Wang finally showed a hint of emotion on their faces.
"Lord Bao, don't worry, I didn't let you fight alone." Princess Leping pursed her lips, looked at Prime Minister Wang and said, "Master Xiang is a veteran of three dynasties and prime minister of two dynasties. I believe he can come up with a good way to complete this matter." I remember that Qin Xianglian stopped Xiangye's sedan chair at the beginning to complain, but later Xiangye recommended Master Bao to her, I remember right..."
Wang Chengxiang laughed twice and said, "Princess has a good memory."
Bao Zheng is currently calculating quickly in his mind.If Chen Shimei and Zhan Zhao don't agree to the princess's conditions, both Chen Shimei and Zhan Zhao will die. Qin Xianglian will have no husband, no father for his children, and no subordinates for him. No one wants to see such a result.If he agrees, Chen Shimei will naturally return to Qin Xianglian's side after she loses her glory and wealth, and the reunion of husband and wife will coincide with his original intention.But Zhan Zhao...
Bao Zheng was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Dare to ask the princess, is it because the princess divorced her son-in-law and just let the cat's affairs go by?"
Princess Leping said solemnly: "After I receive the decree to divorce my husband, the cat will return to the mansion intact, and the past will not be investigated."
"Okay!" Bao Zheng straightened his back and said, "Since the princess said so, I will do my best to not disgrace the emperor's order."
"What about Prime Minister?" Princess Leping raised her eyebrows at Prime Minister Wang, her eyes were burning, and it seemed like you would die if you didn't agree.
Prime Minister Wang sighed silently.What else can he do?When Qin Xianglian asked him to seek justice, he knew that the matter was very difficult, so he pushed it to Bao Zheng.Whether it's driving Qin Xianglian out of the capital or punishing the son-in-law's crimes, it's none of his business.If the result is good, he can take advantage of the situation to get a good name, if it is not good, he also has a way to escape.But now, he was dragged into the pirate ship by the princess.If he insisted on disembarking, he would offend not only the princess, but also Bao Zheng.So now he not only has to agree, but also has to finish this matter.
"The minister will be so heartbroken that he will relieve the princess' worries."
Bao Zheng suddenly thought of Qin Xianglian's words, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that the consort was slapped fifty times by the princess, and the firewood room was also locked tightly?"
"I heard that if you go to Kaifeng Mansion to beat the drums and appeal for grievances, if you don't bring a lawsuit, you will be punished twenty times." Princess Leping laughed, "So don't worry about such insignificant things, Mr. Bao."
"Princess, with Bao Zheng and Prime Minister Wang alone, can this matter be successful?" Shui Pan asked, pinching Princess Leping's shoulders.
"What do you think is the difference between me and a consort and an ordinary couple?"
"I know this." Yaotai said while raising her little hand, "The princess and the son-in-law are not only husband and wife, but also monarch and minister."
"That's right." Princess Leping squinted her eyes and said lazily, "Princess and son-in-law can't be judged by ordinary couples. In name, son-in-law is still the princess's courtier. When seeing the princess, the son-in-law should kneel down and eat You can’t sit at the same table, you can only wait on the sidelines. Ordinary women have to bow to their parents-in-law, but the princess’s parents-in-law have to kneel to their daughter-in-law in turn.”
"How kind the princess was to Chen Shimei back then!" Yaotai snorted unconvinced, "A wolf-hearted thing! Not as good as a pig or a dog!"
"Forget it, don't mention those bad things." Princess Leping waved her hand and said, "How is Zhan Zhao now?"
"Returning to the princess, this servant has set up another quiet courtyard for Mr. Zhan, where very few people pass by. Mr. Zhan is only practicing swords in the yard today. I don't think he has any intention of running away."
"Nan Xia Zhanzhao keeps his promises. I'm not worried about that. You should treat Zhan Zhao with delicious and useful treats. I promised Bao Zheng that I would send him back intact. If he loses weight, Bao Zheng Doesn't Zheng think that I have treated him badly?"
"Hehe, if the princess doesn't say anything, we will take good care of Mr. Zhan."
"Release Chen Shimei from the firewood room, and find the imperial physician to treat him. But put him under house arrest, and don't let me see him again. By the way, let him copy the Analects a thousand times, and learn how to do it A person, don't look like a human but always do animal things."
Three days later, Bao Zheng and Prime Minister Wang pleaded with the emperor to allow the princess to suspend her husband on the grounds that "the princess is not an ordinary woman, and the matter cannot be judged by ordinary etiquette" and "Chen Shimei deceived the emperor and harmed the princess". , Give the princess justice.
Originally, things went smoothly, but unexpectedly Taishi Pang stepped in suddenly, admonishing the emperor with "a woman's etiquette" and "a husband has a reason to abandon his wife, but a wife has no rule to abandon her husband", that the princess must not be allowed to divorce her husband.
The court quickly divided into two factions, each with their own reasons. The court was also chattering about this matter in the early morning, and stopped doing other things. It seemed that the matter of the princess's husband's resignation was more important than the matter of local floods that caused people's livelihood to be miserable.
Princess Leping doesn't know what's wrong with Grand Master Pang, but she wants to meddle in her own affairs. She doesn't care about his business, she really eats carrots and doesn't worry about it!
Taishi Pang has a high position and power, has many party members in the court, and her daughter is a favored concubine in the palace, and she has always been arrogant.Even if Bao Zheng and Prime Minister Wang argued hard and cited scriptures and ancient times, they were nothing but a tie with him.
Princess Leping was furious. In her previous life, Concubine Pang Guifei killed Yaotai and she hadn't settled with Concubine Pang Guifei yet!Grand Master Pang ran out first to block his eyesight.Although Brother Huang didn't listen to Taishi Pang's words and didn't allow him to divorce, but if the discussion didn't come to a conclusion in 50 years, wouldn't he want to drag Chen Shimei for a lifetime? What's the difference between this and not divorce?
Princess Leping originally planned to torture herself without eating or sleeping for a few days, but she thought it was too unworthy for that bitch Chen Shimei, so she bought a medicine from Jinjiang Xiaomei to weaken her body.
The self in the mirror seemed to have returned to the last appearance before committing suicide in the previous life. His eyes were bloodshot, with big dark circles, his face was sallow, and his appearance was extremely haggard.
Princess Leping couldn't help being sad for a moment, and then she thought that she must not die like a wimp in her last life in this life, so she grabbed her hair a little messy and entered the palace like a strong man cutting off his wrist.
The emperor was very upset these days.The courtroom was arguing endlessly about Princess Leping's resignation, which had reached a fever pitch, but there was still no result.
One of the first two big emperors blamed Chen Shimei.According to his thinking, if Chen Shimei dared to bully Jun Wangshang, he should have his head chopped off.But after killing Chen Shimei, Leping became a widow.Originally, he blamed himself for choosing the wrong son-in-law for Le Ping, but what if he made her a widow?
Should Le Ping take a break from her husband?He still hasn't figured out why.Bao Zheng and Prime Minister Wang were right, and Grand Master Pang seemed to be right too.Moreover, Concubine Pang Gui also said that Le Ping is just angry now, if Chen Shimei is really divorced, what kind of husband will he find in the future, after all, good women do not have second husbands.Do you want Leping to die alone?
"Report to the emperor, Princess Leping to see you." The eunuch who came in reported.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said, "Please come quickly."
When Princess Leping stepped through the threshold, the emperor was in a daze.
Because he thinks he has no face to face, he hasn't seen Le Ping for many days.In his memory, Leping was still the young girl who was full of vigor and had a sweet smile, but who was this haggard woman who was thinner than a yellow flower! ?But it's only been a few days, how could he be so haggard.
"Leping sees the emperor."
The emperor woke up from the shock and hurried to help Le Ping up.
"Imperial sister, you don't need to be too polite." The emperor saw Le Ping's haggardness more clearly, and said distressedly, "Imperial sister is sick, and I will send the imperial physician to treat you."
"Brother Huang, I'm not sick." Being so close, Princess Leping could clearly see the pain in the emperor's eyes.In the previous life, she never saw Yaotai after he was executed with a cane. I wonder if the emperor brother in the previous life would feel distressed if he saw her like this?
Thinking of this, a string of tears fell silently from Princess Leping's face.
"Leping..." The emperor frowned tightly.In the past, when Le Ping cried, there would always be a lot of quarrels, but now that he looked like this, he only felt sore and extremely sad.
"Le Ping, this matter is the fault of the emperor, it is the emperor who is sorry for you."
From the incident to the present, he finally said the three words "I'm sorry". It turned out that it was not as difficult as imagined.
Princess Leping shook her head and said, "Brother Huang's original intention is to hope that I can marry a good husband. Brother Huang is not wrong. I have never blamed Brother Huang."
"Leping..." The emperor looked at her moved.
Princess Leping suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed her head, and said: "Leping is a disaster for the country and the people, please give me the death penalty."
The emperor turned pale with shock and said, "Le Ping, where do we start from?"
"Leping heard that the court is now arguing about my divorce. I thought it was a family matter, but I didn't expect that now that family affairs have become state affairs, it has caused such a big disturbance in the court." Princess Leping felt guilty He said, "For my affairs, all the ministers even ignored the important affairs of the country. I heard that there were floods in the local area, but all the ministers were busy with my affairs and did not think about how to rescue the people. What is Leping if it is not a disaster for the country and the people?" ?”
