Song Gexing

Chapter 147
"Xiren...Xiren, wait for me!"

Tang Jie had no choice but to block Bao Zheng. Lao Bao, who was very angry, saw him running to the door of his house and couldn't help frowning and said: "Zifang has nothing to do, why did you come to my house?"

"Xiren, you have to help me with this. You know I'm not good at dealing with this kind of thing..."

Tang Jie began to complain, and it was true that this guy was as upright as Lao Bao, but he was still different from Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng was honest and upright, but in fact he still had tactful methods. For example, when he persuaded Renzong to establish a crown prince, he did not directly mention Zhao Zongshi, but shied away from leaving it to the emperor to decide.

But he was talking about Zhao Zongshi both inside and outside of his words, so he still knew how to circumvent some things and knew that some things should be done in a roundabout way.

Unlike Tang Jie, who was not straightforward. When Zhang Yaozuo was impeached, he was with Bao Zheng, Wu Kui, and Zhang Zexing. However, after Renzong became tough, the three of them stopped talking, and he still refused to give up.

In the end, Renzong had no choice but to push him to the Zhongshu Province, but this time he impeached Wen Yanbo, the chief official of the Zhongshu Province, and Renzong was so angry that he demoted him and sent him to Guangdong as a county magistrate.

Fortunately, Renzong was worthy of being Renzong, and soon regretted it.

He knew it was him who had lost his temper, but the edict had been issued and could not be taken back, so he had to shyly send someone to escort him south, and he was transferred back within two years.

Tang Jie may not be known to many future generations, but he has two famous descendants, one is Lu You's mother, and the other is Lu You's wife.

He was Tang Wan's great-grandfather and Lu You's mother's grandfather. He was upright and upright. His posthumous title was Zhensu and Bao Gong was Xiaosu.

It can be seen from this posthumous title that the two are from the same family, both are annoying officials who are not greedy and love to talk.

After listening to his complaint, Bao Zheng frowned, stretched out his hand to invite him into the house, and listened to his chatter with a straight face the whole way.

"What does Zifang think of the Prince's Attendant Cao?"

After the two parties sat down for tea, Bao Zheng did not mention the solution, but asked him what he thought of Zhao Pan'er, which made him very confused. Could Bao Heizi take the opportunity to drive her away.

But that's not right. After the incident came out, the admonishers proposed to abolish Zhao Pan'er's identity, but Lao Bao said at that time that he would wait until the case was decided.

Tang Jie was an upright man, but he was not willing to bully a woman. Of course, there was another question about bewitching the monarch, but Zhao Pan'er was obviously not that kind of person.

He could only ponder for a while and said: "I know this woman's experience. From the time she came to His Highness, she has never behaved inappropriately. In fact, she is also a victim in this incident in Dengzhou, but her identity is embarrassing."

Bao Zheng nodded slightly: "His Royal Highness has an unusual feeling for this woman, just like the official family towards Concubine Zhang. How about keeping her in the East Palace?"

Tang Jie shook his head and said: "That's true, but it's different. The Crown Princess is not the current Queen. Back then, the Crown Prince chose his concubine with his own consent, unlike the official family back then."

"Oh! What Zifang means is that Royal Attendant Cao can protect him?"

Tang Jie was stunned and suddenly shouted: "Xiren, you are plotting against me!"

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Why are you talking about scheming? I'm just asking you to speak your mind."

Tang Jie glared at him angrily and said, "I know Pang Chunzhi came to you to lobby for this matter. You want to drag me into this, right? Want to save her with you?"

"So what? Don't you want the prince to spend his energy on business and not be distracted by these messy things?" Bao Zheng looked at him with a smile and said.

Tang Jie stared at him, sighed for a long time and said: "It's okay to make friends carelessly. I know how to deal with Mrs. Zhao Wang. Ask your highness."

After saying that, he stood up and left without even saying goodbye or saying yes or no. He left angrily, but Bao Zheng stroked his beard and laughed.

In the Prince's East Palace, Zhao Fang looked at Tang Jie with a headache for a long time, then waved to a maid and whispered: "Ask Sister Pan'er what to do with her stepmother."

Of course, Zhao Fang also had a headache about this matter. If he had his own way of thinking, Zhao Wang's family should die, but he was worried that Zhao Pan'er would lose face.

Looking at the maid walking away, Tang Jie became serious, stared at him and asked: "Your Highness's move is against the etiquette and law. In the future, when Your Highness ascends the throne, will he also hand over matters involving the concubine's family to the harem?"

Zhao Fang was stunned, and quickly stood up and bowed to him: "Tang Qing taught you a lesson, Gu Zhen Menglang! Why don't you make an example next time?"

Tang Jie still didn't let him go, and continued to say with a cold face: "Then if Your Highness hasn't chased him back, how long will it take?"

Zhao Fang raised his head and looked at him with big eyes and small eyes. He was defeated for a long time and waved to another person to chase him.

Tang Jie then softened his expression, bowed his hands and said, "I feel relieved now. Your Highness should call the person back. There is no need to chase him. I also want to see how Master Cao will handle this matter."

Zhao Fang almost said "Mom," but he still hurriedly asked someone to do something. No matter what, he wanted to hear what Zhao Pan'er had to say.

The monarch and his ministers sat down to drink tea again and chatted about some irrelevant gossip, but both of them deliberately avoided the current affairs of the court.

When someone finally arrived, the two stopped chatting and turned to look.

The person who came was Zhao Pan'er's personal maid Chun Xi'er. After bowing and saluting, she solemnly replied: "When I returned to Your Highness, Master Cao blamed Your Highness for not asking her about this matter. There are state laws and family rules. No one should interfere." Prison, especially the female family members of the Eastern Palace, please tell Your Highness to tell Yousi to deal with it according to the law."

Zhao Fang nodded to indicate that she understood. Chun Xier respectfully excused herself. Then he looked at Tang Jie and said, "Tang Qing heard this, so he will deal with it according to the law."

Tang Jie solemnly raised his hands and said, "I respect your highness's decree!"

After saying that he resigned and left, Wang Zhao was sentenced to death soon after for hiding an imperial prisoner. However, the verdict came to Zhao Zhen and his sentence was commuted, and he was eventually sentenced to be exiled to Suzhou for hard labor.

This verdict Zhao Zhen was thoughtful. He wanted to punish her but not make his son lose face. Most women's exile is very miserable.

However, there was a government-run embroidery workshop in Suzhou, and the distance was long enough to be exiled. He would not be bullied and would embarrass Zhao Fang. He just had to work every day and was not allowed to leave Suzhou.

Zhao Fang received the news and told Zhao Pan'er, asking her if she wanted to see her off. Zhao Pan'er pondered for a long time before deciding to see her off.

Since she was not responsible for her father's death, there is no need to resent her. As for the matter between her and Gao Jin, those are two different things. After all, hiding an old friend is not an insult to Zhao Qian.

After Gao Jin was arrested, there was no need to hide this. Zhao Fang was not disgusted anyway, so he happily talked about his relationship with Wang Zhao.

Even though it was a bit unforgettable, Zhao Qian was a military commander, and the two of them had to lurk, so it was impossible for them to expose themselves because of a small loss.
