Zhenguan five years, Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ever since the current Emperor ascended the throne, the Emperor's grace was vast. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, a banquet would be held in the Hall of Heroes, inviting all the civil and military officials to express their feelings for each other and the righteousness between monarch and minister.
Imperial relatives, dukes, marquises, generals, and generals paid special attention to this. Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you can bring your family and children.
One, can contact with other powerful families feelings, or find son-in-law to choose daughter-in-law, or climb the relationship.
Secondly, he could also use this opportunity to show off his son's elegance to the world. If you get the favor of the emperor, you will rise to the top in the future and become a marquis. It is not unknown.
On this day, the atmosphere in the residences of the officials in Chang 'an was unusually festive. The handsome young masters and the voluptuous beauties were all making the final preparations for the banquet.
The residence of the Great Tang War God, Duke Wei Li Jing, was gloomy.
Last night, the Chang 'an Local Government reported that the young duke had been invited to the Chang' an Local Government because of jealousy and fighting over a woman.
Li Jing was so angry that he scolded his son on the spot and asked the Chang 'an Local Government to discipline him well. He wanted to lock him up for one night as a punishment. He had thought that after a night of imprisonment, the Chang 'an Local Government would be able to send his son back this morning.
Who knew that they still hadn't seen him. Feeling uneasy, the red-whisk girl immediately sent someone to Chang 'an Local Government to ask for him.
Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, who did not even blink in the face of thousands of troops, paced back and forth with a gloomy expression and anger. The Red Whisk Girl, who was famous in Beijing and had shocking martial arts skills, also sighed and sobbed."Yi 'er was locked up by the Chang' an Local Government for a night. I wonder how he slept? Did you eat well?"
"This little bastard, my face has been completely thrown away by him. How did I, Li Jing, give birth to such a bastard? If His Majesty didn't hold a banquet today, I would have asked Chang 'an Prefecture to keep him in custody for a few more days.”Li Jing was like an angry lion as he roared,""It's all because of you, your mother, who spoils you so much. You're already drinking at such a young age, and you even fought with others because you were jealous. When I come back, I'll definitely beat this little bastard to death.”
"Just kill me as well, lest I embarrass you again. You've grown up and gone out to war. You haven't returned home for a few years. If I don't treat my son better, who will?”The usually domineering woman in the red horsetail whisk was unwilling to be outdone. She rubbed her tears and argued with her husband.
"Besides, which of the children of the rich and powerful have not gone to drink wine? My son was taken away by the Chang 'an Local Government because you were too honest in court. That's why others dared to humiliate my son.”
Li Jing was well aware of his wife's fiery personality. In terms of quarreling, he was no match for her. He could only keep his head down and pace back and forth without saying a word.
At this moment, the butler of the Li Residence was sweating profusely. He stumbled into the hall and shouted in panic before he could bow,"Master, Madam, Chang 'an Local Government…they won't let her go.”
"What happened? Since when did Chang 'an Prefecture Magistrate Wang Quan become so bold?”Li Jing slammed the carved sandalwood table into powder."Didn't you say that you are from my Duke Wei's estate?”
"Master, I…said it. But... the people of Chang 'an Prefecture said that it was different this time, and they dared not let her go.”The butler's face was pale as he answered truthfully.
When the strong-willed Red Buddha heard this, she couldn't help but fly into a rage. With a whoosh, she drew the flexible sword at her waist."What do you mean you don't dare to let her go? Did they not put in enough? It's only because Chang 'an Prefecture Magistrate Wang Quan is Hou Junji's man that he's making things difficult for your master. Since your master is not capable, I will go to the Chang 'an Local Government to kill those filthy people.”
Li Jing's expression trembled as he hurriedly pulled his wife back. He knew his wife too well.
Although she had restrained herself a lot after getting married, that was because she had not crossed her bottom line. Now, her precious son was caught by the Chang 'an Local Government, which undoubtedly touched her reverse scale.
With her fearless personality, if she didn't stop him, he would really dare to kill her.
If that was the case, there might be no room for negotiation.
"Madam, are you trying to blow up a small matter?”Li Jing hugged the red-whisked girl and begged,""Don't worry, I won't let my son suffer. Even if I have to cause a ruckus in front of the palace, even if I have to throw away the title of Duke Wei, I have to seek justice for you and your mother.”
Li Jing knew that although the red-whisked woman's words were a little extreme, they were not without reason.
Eating wine, being jealous, or even fighting was not a big deal among the children of the nobles. However, the Chang 'an Prefect used this as an excuse to hold on to it, which meant that he had other intentions.
Thinking of this, the killing intent that Li Jing had been suppressing burst out. Instantly, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop by a few degrees.
For a Great General who had killed countless people, Li Jing did not lack courage. The reason why he kept a low profile in the court these years was not because he was cowardly, but because he was biding his time and did not want to be suspected by the Emperor.
As the commander of a Tang army of hundreds of thousands, he could command his soldiers like a god because he could read people's minds. It was the same as being an official. As a respected and loved God of War, he knew the consequences of being arrogant and having great achievements.
Therefore, he had always been like a good old man. Not only did he take the initiative to hand over his military power, but he also rarely asked about the ordinary matters of the court. However, keeping a low profile did not mean that he was weak and easy to bully, nor did it mean that his family could be detained at will.
"Men, prepare the horses. I want to see what kind of dragon's pool and tiger's den the Chang 'an Local Government is.”
