Chapter 200 Zhang Jing's Past
“It’s really good here…!”
Quan Wanji walked in the villa prepared by Li You for himself, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After the two of them arrived on the balcony on the second floor, they could 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, a voice suddenly came from the balcony next to him: "Yo...Isn't this Mr. Quan?" As he said that, a figure sat up from the couch.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Quan Wanji also bowed quickly and said, "So it's Zhang Shuai..."
"Haha..." Zhang Jing waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Quan is so lucky. You are so comforted by Lao Huai. Now your student prodigal son is turning back and still dedicated to serving the country and the people. It is really admirable. Even His Majesty also looks at His Highness with admiration."
"Haha..." Quan Wanji nodded with a smile: "I also want to ask Zhang Shuaiduo to speak well before His Majesty...!"
"It's a good word. After all, His Highness King Qi also gave me a villa. I will live here from now on. We are neighbors... OK..."
"Quan, I can't ask for it..." Quan Wanji treated Zhang Jing very respectfully.
This made Li You a little confused, because you should know that Quan Wanji is an upright and strong man, and his long-term censorship has created his character.
His personality would not bow to a powerful person, but at this time, Quan Wanji's attitude towards Zhang Jing was really hard to understand.
"Your Highness of the King of Qi..."
Suddenly, Zhang Jing looked at Li You and asked, "I heard that His Highness King Qi has a silver medal for dinner, you can drink beer, and have instant noodles for dinner. Can His Highness King Qi also give me a piece?"
"sure...!"
Before Li You could speak, Quan Wanji, who was on the other hand, quickly decided to make decisions for Li You and said, "Wait for Quan to ask the king to send it to you later. I hope Zhang Shuai will take care of my king more."
"That's natural... the mouth that eats people is short, the hands that hold people are short, and I also like His Highness King Qi, Dunhuafang is even better, afterglow of the sunset, the smile of a child, if...!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jing left silently.
"Teacher...why is this person like this?" Li You looked at Zhang Jing who suddenly left without saying hello and showed a little anger.
"Why...!"
However, at this time, Quan Wanji looked at Li You and waved his head and said, "King, this Zhang Shuai is not an ordinary person. This person is the first of all, His Majesty's confidant, and he once saved His Majesty with his life in the Battle of Luoyang.
His Majesty trusts him very much.
Later he wanted to be a Duke, do you know why he did not become a Duke in the end...?"
"Why..." Li You asked curiously.
"Because he killed the legitimate son of the Yuwen family, one of the eight great masters of Guanlong...!" Quan Wanji looked at the balcony on one side and said in a low voice.
"What..." This sentence shocked Li You: "He actually killed the legitimate son of the Yuwen family... Is he brain problem?"
This made Li You not surprised, because the eight great masters of Guanlong and the five surnames and Qiwang belonged to the top wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yuwen family was not weaker than the five surnames and Qiwang at all.
And if you read the history of the Tang Dynasty, you will find that the three surnames "Yuwen", "Wei" and "Pei" ran through the entire Tang Dynasty. Among them, the leader of the Yuwen family was Yuwen Tai. This guy was the first to create the military system of the government. Although he was the leader of the pillar country, his status had long been transcended.
The Yuwen family was once prosperous in the Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the royal family and its generals, prime ministers and ministers were almost all derived from the same system and class.
Of course, when Li Shimin was at the time of Li Shimin, the Shandong Group had to fall a little bit and had a lot of battle with the emerging Shandong heroes.
At this time, the Yuwen family was led by Yuwen Shiji, but this Yuwen Shiji was already dead last year... He was posthumously awarded the title of General of the Left Guard and the Governor of Liangzhou, with the posthumous title of Zong and buried with Zhaoling.
But the Yuwen family did not fall.
Zen Master Yuwen... Yuwen Puzhao... Yuwen Gui... etc. are all outstanding people of the fourth generation of the Yuwen family and they also hold important positions in the Tang Dynasty court. This shows that the Yuwen family is still in honor and favor.
Why did Zhang Jing kill their legitimate son in such a big family?
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, "King... Zhang Jing is a loyal man in his life and can die for His Majesty.
In addition to Your Majesty, Zhang Jing also has a sister and mother. Zhang Jing met Your Majesty in Luoyang, and was then impressed by Your Majesty. Then he was confused and did not say goodbye to his family and followed His Majesty.
This time I left for ten years... Ten years later, Zhang Jing returned home with a glory, but learned that his mother had died early and that his sister was slightly bought."
The so-called buying is robbery and merging.
Here we need to explain that "self-selling" in the Tang Dynasty was also legal... It is also allowed to buy and sell people, but buying slightly is illegal. For buying slightly is an illegal population transaction, but the Tang Dynasty did not crack down on it enough.
In the "Tang Law Commentary", there are more than ten regulations involving the number of people being sold, among which "short people selling people" stipulates as follows:
"All the people who are short of selling people will be a little bit. Even if they are under ten years old, they will also have the same method. Those who are slaves will be snatched; those who are clans will travel three thousand miles: those who are wives, concubines, children and grandchildren will be substituted for three years. Therefore, those who are killed and injured will be robbed. "It also stipulates that "the ones who are tempted will be reduced by one level. If those who are sold as slaves will be sold as slaves, they will all travel two thousand miles; those who are not sold will be reduced by one level."
In addition to the Tang Dynasty, history often punished children with heavy punishments. The Song Dynasty had a clear judicial interpretation, "Even if the age of ten is harmonious, the same law will be given." This means that even if the child under 10 is sold, even if the parents agree, it will be regarded as looting the population and severely punished. The Ming Dynasty also continued the Song Dynasty's measures to punish illegal trading of people.
But I would like to say here that from ancient times to the present, as long as you can make money, no matter how heavy your punishment is, there will still be people who take risks. What’s even more terrifying is that these people who buy a little bit are some high-ranking families.
Quan Wanji continued: "According to Zhang Jing's investigation, he finally found the mastermind behind his sister, who was a playboy from the Yuwen family. However, this playboy is the legitimate son of the Yuwen family.
Many people advised Zhang Jing to forget it. With this time, it would be better to find his own sister, because the legitimate son of the Yuwen family was not something that Zhang Jing could move at that time.
Unfortunately, no one expected that the next night, Zhang Jing broke into the mansion of the Yuwen family's legitimate son in Luoyang and started a massacre at the mansion of the Yuwen family's legitimate son, killing a total of 38 people, including the Yuwen family's legitimate son."
Hearing this, Li You asked in surprise: "Teacher, then Zhang Jing should be sure to die..."
Quan Wanji nodded: "You are right. Zhang Jing was bound to die, but at this moment, in the mansion of the Yuwen family's legitimate son, a basement was found, all of which were bought with women, the youngest was six years old, the oldest was fourteen years old, and a total of one hundred and twenty-five people.
Because this confirms the truth about the Yuwen family's legitimate son buying it.
Then His Majesty was furious... and then asked Yu Wenshi and his representatives to negotiate with the Yu Wen family, which saved Zhang Jing's life...!"
"So that's how it is..." At this moment, Li You had a little admiration for Zhang Jing.
