Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 367 Differences
"I've met my elder brother, my sister-in-law! Shiro, younger siblings."

Qin Wang came with Qin Wangfei, but his face was not very beautiful, it looked calm, but it was like the scene before the storm, and there seemed to be a storm hidden under the calm surface.

After the brothers and sisters-in-law saw the ceremony, everyone sat down as the guest of honor. After Xue Lang greeted the King of Qin and Princess Qin, the King of Qin asked, "Youyang, how is sister?"

Xue Lang talked about the recovery of Princess Pingyang's injury again, and exchanged some pleasantries. The prince said loudly: "I called everyone here today, it's a family banquet, and it's more relaxed. Let's have a banquet!"

Following the order of the prince, a group of musicians and kabuki performers filed out from the apse, and began the song and dance performance that was indispensable for all banquets in the Tang Dynasty!
Xue Lang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the prince's gourd, so he calmly followed the song and dance. If he could perform in the prince's east palace, his skills would naturally be beyond doubt. If he could be called an artist in modern times, even if Xue Lang This kind of music is not good, but I am very happy to watch it——

It feels like traveling through time, and the level of art appreciation is biu biu improved!
While enjoying the singing and dancing, the prince and King Qin were talking.I don't know if it was specially arranged today, the seats are very close to each other.The crown prince and Qin Wangfei said a few words, and they went to the apse together, leaving the crown prince and Qin Wang wondering what they were talking about.

During the banquet, Xue Lang faintly heard King Qin: "Brother, brother, I have something to ask, please stop singing and dancing."

The prince nodded, and glanced at the attendant next to him. The attendant immediately clapped three times, and the kabuki performers and musicians stopped together.

King Qi, who was intoxicated with singing and dancing, was stunned, put down his wine glass, and looked at the prince and King Qin. Xue Lang was naturally attracted to him, and King Qin asked in a deep voice, "Brother, what about father's relatives in the harem pretending to be the head of the country? Brother, do you know?"

The prince pondered, noncommittal.Seeing this, King Qin's face became more serious, and the anger in his tone was very obvious, he said angrily: "There is a steward named He San in Yin Ashu's house, brother, can you recognize him?"

The crown prince still didn't answer, but King Qi jumped out and said, "Second brother, who are you talking to? Brother and friend, brother Gong, don't you want me to teach you?"

King Qin turned his head back: "Who are you talking to again? I am your elder brother too!"

"All right!"

Seeing that King Qin and King Qi were arguing, the prince interrupted, without any anger on his face, instead he said helplessly: "Erlang, Shiro, sit down and talk about the prince, the dignity of the prince, how decent it is to sit down! Down!"

King Qin sat back in his seat with a sullen face, and King Qi snorted before sitting back.The prince sighed, and said: "I heard that you thoroughly investigated the fact that the relatives in the harem pretended to be the head of the country and you will know about it sooner or later. I invited Erlang to the banquet today because I wanted to tell you about this matter, but the matter involved Aunt, it’s hard for me to speak.”

Qin Wangdao: "This matter involves the dignity of my mother. As a son of man, filial piety should be the first. Why don't you speak up?"

Now, Xue Lang understood!
He had seen the majesty of Yin Ashu at the gate of the city, and the servants in his house all called him the head of the country.It is not surprising that King Qin would find him on the matter of pretending to be the father-in-law through a thorough investigation.

However, according to King Qin's intentions, it seems that the crown prince already knew about it after checking it out!As the eldest son of the sage Li Yuan and Empress Taimu, the prince should naturally protect his mother's dignity and status. He knew before that someone pretending to be the head of the state was not thoroughly investigated and punished... If Empress Taimu found out, I'm afraid I'd be angry It hurts!It's no wonder King Qin is so angry and his emotions are so obvious.

The prince sighed again and said, "What if this matter involves father?"

King Qin froze for a moment, suddenly speechless.

The prince said: "Father's relatives in the harem, Mrs. Yin and Zhang Jieyu are the most honored and favored. Father is accompanied by her two, so that someone can comfort the loneliness. Otherwise, Auntie left early, and your children and I have already married. Who will return them?" Can serve in front of her father, Cheng Huan's knees? Mrs. Yin serves her father and makes her father less troubled. It is a credit to the country. As Mrs. Yin's father, Yin Ashu is the father of Mrs. Yin, and his father loves the house and under the black, so it is inevitable that he is too honored. Then Yin Ashu is a Hun people are honored and favored by saints, so it is inevitable that they will be a little arrogant, and there will inevitably be many censors from various parts of the Yushijian. Once I entered the palace, just when my father was angry, he said that Mrs. Yin had done a great job in serving the saints, so I rewarded Yin and Shushi a lot. It's normal, even if you are more honored and favored, why not!"

The prince paused, and looked at King Qin's expression. King Qin's face was sullen, showing no signs of happiness or anger. The prince replied: "As a son of man, I should share my father's worries. Seeing that my father was angry, I recommended myself to help my father persuade Yin Ashu. I It was rumored that Yin Ashu had come to the East Palace, but who knew that fellow was so stupid that he didn't even listen to my words. Because of my father, I couldn't punish him, so I had to use a roundabout way to send him away quietly. A shrewd steward went to him and advised him when he had the opportunity to make him do less wrong things, so that he calmed down a little.”

Speaking of this, the prince smiled wryly and said: "Erlang, the matter of pretending to be the father-in-law is only recently known as a brother, and people have warned him, but he has no choice but to meet a foolish person. It is really reasonable and hard to explain!"

King Qin didn't say a word, just looked at the prince deeply.Xue Lang thought to himself, in his opinion, the crown prince is not decisive enough, not courageous enough, and too demanding of perfection in this matter!He wanted to be a good person in front of the sage and Concubine Yin De, seeking goodness and perfection, hoping to please the sage's father, but he forgot that such a choice would ruin the image of him in the hearts of King Qin and Princess Pingyang.

It is no wonder that the records in the historical materials are so contradictory for the prince's behavior. If the prince had acted decisively and ruthlessly, the Xuanwumen incident would never have happened.If the king of Qin and the crown prince were to switch, the king of Qin would definitely attack, and would not be hesitant like the crown prince.The prince's temperament, to put it bluntly, is lenient and benevolent, but to put it bluntly, it is the benevolence of a woman, with insufficient determination, and to put it bluntly, he is not ruthless.Sometimes, when things happen, you simply cannot allow you to be thoughtful, and you must be interrupted, and you will be disturbed by it.

Sure enough, King Qin bowed and cupped his fists and said, "Brother, we are both father's son and father's minister. We should be filial for the son and loyal for the minister. Moreover, this matter is related to the dignity of Auntie. According to the law of etiquette, Aunt Yin Who is the rat? It is just a mere lowly person, what qualifications do you have to dare to call yourself a relative of the emperor, and consider yourself the head of the country? No matter what the elder brother is, I will deal with it fairly! It is getting late today, and I will bid you farewell! Guanyin maidservant, we let's go!"

Qin Wang took Qin Wangfei away, the prince watched his younger brother and his wife leave, opened his mouth, with a bitter expression on his face, opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.

Xue Lang sighed silently in his heart, bowed his hands and said: "Prince, on this matter, Princess Pingyang has the same attitude as King Qin. I will definitely tell the princess about the embarrassment of the prince. I am afraid that the key to the palace gate will not be released if it is too late." It's easy to leave the palace, and the minister will leave!"

The prince sighed, and looked at Xue Lang: "You Yang also thinks I did something wrong? Isn't it good to put the overall situation first?"

Xue Lang bowed his waist lower in silence, and said solemnly: "The crown prince is high, so naturally he has many constraints and worries. If I encounter such things, I am afraid that I will behave similarly to the King of Qin."

The prince smiled wryly: "You are sincere, you don't lie to me, good, very good! Sanniang really has a good eye for people, and it is great to choose you! Come back, I hope you will treat my Sanniang well in the future."

The feeling in Xue Lang's heart was rather complicated, but he still made a serious promise as always: "Here. I will treat her better than myself! I will resign!"

The crown prince waved his hand and told Xue Lang to leave, and he sat on the seat with a lonely expression.King Qi scratched his head and walked over: "Big Brother, I support Big Brother, Little Four. Naturally, there is a reason for Big Brother to do this. Erlang and Xue Lang don't support it, because they don't understand the difficulty of Big Brother."

The prince laughed: "It's rare that Sanhu can comfort people, anyway, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to think about it, let's settle the matter first and then talk about it!"

Seeing the prince's gloominess diminished slightly, King Qi also smiled and said, "This is my eldest brother!"

The prince laughed and said nothing, patted him on the shoulder, and sent people to send Qi Wang and his wife out of the palace.
