Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 202 Zhang Jing's Past (Please Subscribe)
"It's really nice here!"

Quan Wanji walked in the villa that Li You had prepared for him, with a slight smile on his lips.

After the two came to the balcony on the second floor, they could still see the small lake in front of the villa while sitting on the balcony.

Quan Wanji nodded slightly: "I like this place the most!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice suddenly from the balcony next to him: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Quan Shilang?" Saying that, a figure sat up from the couch.

Seeing the person coming, Quan Wanji quickly bowed and said, "So it's Zhang Shuai!"

"Hehe...!" Zhang Jing waved his hand and smiled, "You are so lucky, Minister Quan, you can be regarded as comforting, now that your student's prodigal son has turned around and is still wholeheartedly serving the country and the people, it is really admirable, even His Majesty agrees." His Royal Highness looked at him with admiration."

"Hehe!" Quan Wanji nodded with a smile: "I also ask Zhang Shuai to speak kindly before His Majesty!"

"Good words are for sure. After all, His Royal Highness King Qi also gave me a villa, and I will live here from now on. The two of us will be neighbors. How about it?"

"Quan, you can't ask for it!" Quan Wanji treated Zhang Jing very respectfully.

This made Li You a little bit confused, because he had to know that Quan Wanji was an upright and strong teacher, and it was his long-term censorship that created his character.

With his personality, he would not bow down to a certain powerful person, but at this moment, Quan Wanji's attitude towards Zhang Jing was really beyond Li You's understanding.

"His Royal Highness King Qi...!"

Suddenly, Zhang Jing looked at Li You and asked, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi has a silver medal for dinner here. You can drink beer and have instant noodles for dinner. Can His Highness King Qi give me a piece too?"

"of course can.!"

Before Li You could speak, Quan Wanji hurriedly acted for Li You and said, "Wait a while and let the king send it to you. I hope Zhang Shuai will take care of my king."

"It's natural to have a short mouth to eat people, and a short hand to grab people, and I also like His Royal Highness Qi Wang, and Dunhua Square is even better, with the afterglow of the setting sun and a child's smile, if...!"

Before finishing the rest of the sentence, Zhang Jing left silently.

"Teacher, why is this person like this?" Li You looked slightly angry at Zhang Jing who left suddenly without saying hello.

"Hey!"

However, at this time, Quan Wanji looked at Li You and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this Zhang Shuai is not an ordinary person, first of all this person is His Majesty's confidant, and he saved His Majesty with his life in the Battle of Luoyang.

His Majesty has great trust in him.

Later, he was going to be the Duke of the State, but do you know why he didn't become the Duke of the State in the end? "

"Why...?" Li You asked curiously.

"Because he killed the son of the Yuwen family, one of the eight great families in Guanlong!" Quan Wanji looked at the balcony on one side and whispered.

"What...?" Li You was shocked by this sentence: "He actually killed the son of the Yuwen family. Is there something wrong with his mind?"

Li You couldn't help but be surprised, because the Guanlong Eight Families and the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs belonged to the top wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yuwen family was not weaker than the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs at all.

And if you read the history of the Tang Dynasty, you will find that the three surnames "Yuwen", "Wei" and "Pei" run through the entire Tang Dynasty. Among them, the boss of the Yuwen family is Yuwentai. The head of the country, but the status has long been detached.

The Yuwen family was very prosperous in the Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the royal family and its generals and ministers were almost all of the same system and class.

Of course, when it came to Li Shimin, because the power of the Shandong Group was about to fall a little bit, there was quite a fight with the emerging Shandong heroes.

At this time, the Yuwen family was headed by Yuwen Shiji, but this Yuwen Shiji had died last year. He was posthumously given to General Zuowei and Governor of Liangzhou, with the posthumous title of Zong, and was buried with Zhaoling.

But the Yuwen family did not fall.

Zen Master Yuwen, Yuwen Puzhao, Yuwen Gui, etc., are all outstanding members of the fourth generation of the Yuwen family, and all held important positions in the Tang court, which shows that the Yuwen family is still honored and favored.

For such a big family, why did Zhang Jing kill their son-in-law?

Li You looked at his teacher, Quan Wanji, and wanted Quan Wanji to give him an answer. At this time, Quan Wanji sighed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Jing is loyal to the Emperor all his life, and he can die for His Majesty." .

In addition to His Majesty, Zhang Jing also has a younger sister and mother. Zhang Jing met His Majesty in Luoyang back then, and was impressed by His Majesty. Then he followed His Majesty without saying goodbye to his family in a daze.

This walk lasted ten years. Ten years later, Zhang Jing returned home with all his glory, only to learn that his mother had died early and his younger sister had been bought by someone else. "

The so-called slight buying is plundering and selling.

Here I want to explain that the "self-selling" in the Tang Dynasty was also legal and allowed human trading, but buying a little bit was illegal. For buying a little bit, it was an illegal human trading, but the Tang Dynasty did not do enough to crack down on it.

In "Laws of the Tang Dynasty", there are more than ten regulations concerning people being bought and sold, among which "slightly sell people" is stipulated as follows:
"It's a little bit of discord between all the people and the little sellers. If you are under ten years old, even if you are in harmony, the same method is used. Those who are slaves and maidservants will be twisted; those who are part-timers will travel three thousand miles; Therefore, whoever kills or injures a person is subject to the robber law." It also stipulates that "those who make peace with seduction will be reduced by one level. If they are sold as slaves with their counterparts, they will be exiled for two thousand miles; those who sell unsold will be reduced by one level."

Except for the Tang Dynasty, history has severely punished child abduction and trafficking.In the Song Dynasty, there was a clear judicial interpretation of this, "Under the age of ten, even if they are in peace, the same law applies." This means that trafficking in children under the age of 10, even if it is a peace sale, with the consent of the parents, is also regarded as robbing people. be severely punished.The Ming Dynasty also continued the Song Dynasty's measures to punish the illegal trafficking of people.

But here I want to say again, from ancient times to the present, as long as you can earn money, no matter how heavy your punishment is, there will still be people who will take risks. What's more frightening is that these people who buy a little bit are some wealthy families.

Quan Wanji continued: "According to Zhang Jing's investigation, he finally found the mastermind behind the purchase of his sister, who is a playboy from the Yuwen family, but this playboy is the son of the Yuwen family.

Many people advised Zhang Jing to forget it. If he had the time, he might as well go and find his younger sister, because the son of the Yuwen family was not something Zhang Jing could touch at that time.

It's a pity that no one thought of it. Knowing that the next night, Zhang Jing entered the mansion of the Yuwen family's son-in-law in Luoyang with a knife, and directly killed the mansion of the Yuwen family's son-in-law. There are 38 people including the legitimate son. "

Hearing this, Li You asked slightly surprised: "Teacher, that Zhang Jing must surely die?"

Quan Wanji also nodded: "You're right, Zhang Jing was bound to die, but at this moment, in the mansion of the Yuwen family's son-in-law, a basement was discovered, all of which were bought The youngest is six years old and the oldest is 14 years old, a total of 120 people.

Because this confirmed the truth about Yuwen's son Luebu.

Then His Majesty was furious. Then he asked Yuwen Shihe to negotiate with the Yuwen family on his own behalf, which saved Zhang Jing's life! "

"It turned out to be like this!" At this moment, Li You felt a little admiration for Zhang Jing.
