Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

(I created a group in a daze, and book friends are welcome to visit. You can only join after you follow it, and you can become your own member after joining the group.)

When Li Shen turned around and asked, "You~~are the defense machine??"

Bianji had woken up from the shock and said a Buddhist salute to Li Shen.

"Amitabha, the poor monk is exactly that. The donor must be His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

"Hahahahaha" Li Shen couldn't help laughing as he looked at the defense machine as if nothing happened.

"As expected of an eminent monk who has achieved enlightenment, he remains calm in the face of danger. I admire him very much."

"Donor Miocan. The poor monk didn't feel any danger." Bianji still looked calm.

"Oh? In that case, I'm here to ask you. They all say that your Dharma is profound. Then tell me, is there any explanation for seducing a married woman in this Buddhist scripture?

And do you know what the crime of seducing a married woman is according to the law of the Tang Dynasty? "Li Shen didn't like Bianji even more when he saw that he was so thick-skinned. He sneered directly.

"This... Your Highness Prince Ji, I think you may have misunderstood. The princess and I were just talking about scriptures and Taoism." Bianji began to defend.

"Do I believe it or not? Xuance told him." Li Shen smiled disdainfully.

"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty: Those who commit adultery will be sentenced to one and a half years in prison first, and if they are married, they will be sentenced to two years in prison. If a person of low social status commits adultery with a person of higher status, the crime will be increased by one level and he will be punished with ninety strokes of the cane.

If a monk is a Taoist or a female official is an adulterer, each will be given an additional grade. "Wang Xuance can be said to be familiar with the law.

"Did you hear that? Do you know that your current behavior will only lead to six years in prison? 180 strokes of the cane will make you immortal, right? You really want to die!" Li Shen's expressionless face made everyone present It seems that the two of them are indeed more gloomy.

"Tenth brother, what do you want to do?" Gao Yang nervously stood in front of Bian Ji, spreading his arms like a hen protecting its chicks.

She was really afraid that Li Shen would kill Bianji. Although she didn't have much contact with Li Shen, there were legends about Li Shen everywhere in Chang'an. She knew that although Li Shen was small, he was very courageous and would dare to do anything.

"Don't worry, Sister Seventeen, I'm just warning him. If you still want to live, Bianji, don't see Princess Gaoyang again." Li Shen warned Bianji.

Then he said to Princess Gaoyang:

"Sister Seventeen, Aye loves you so much. Is this how you repay Aye??"

"If you love me, you won't marry me to that vulgar person like Fang Yiai." Gao Yang shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Okay, do you want others to know what you did? It's really a royal embarrassment to me." Whether now or in his previous life, Li Shen despised extramarital affairs. (The author has never experienced it, thank you)

"Bianji, everyone says that you are an eminent monk of your generation, with profound Buddhist teachings. When you go back, think carefully about what you have done and what I just said."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he turned to Gao Yang and said, "Sister Seventeen, let's go, let's talk."

Princess Gao Yang looked at the debate machine and then at Li Shen who had walked a few steps.

"If you don't leave, I will kill him now. It's your choice." Li Shen said without looking back.

Gao Yang had no choice but to follow Li Shen out of Huichang Temple and get on Li Shen's carriage.

Bian Ji watched Gao Yang and Li Shen leaving in a daze. To be honest, he did pity Gao Yang's beauty. He grew up in a temple and had never been exposed to love. Now that a beauty like Gao Yang threw himself into his arms,

For him, a young man in his twenties, it was a fatal temptation. The lingering feeling after eating the forbidden fruit made him want to stop.

"Bianji, haven't you realized it yet?"

When Bianji turned around, it turned out to be the abbot, Zen Master Huizhi.

"Master, my disciple is stupid. I have been practicing Buddhism for more than ten years. I thought I had seen through this mortal world and was indifferent to the worldly world.

But when I met Princess Gaoyang, my disciple found that my world had changed. "

"Alas~" Zen Master Huizhi said after a while.

"Everything is a bad fate, Bianji, please leave. Whether you are going north or south, leave Chang'an."

"Master, why, why did you let me leave?" Bian Ji was puzzled.

"My master is afraid that you will die here. My master has told you a long time ago that your bad relationship will bring disaster to you. Today King Ji is here. It seems that your doom has come."

Bianji was silent. He understood what his master meant. King Ji was here, which meant that his affair with Gao Yang was exposed. The royal family would not let this matter spread. So he must die.

---------------

Li Shen took Princess Gao Yang to the Li River. There was a manor owned by Li Shenxiu. In fact, it had been acquired by Wang Hongfu in the early years, and the fields in the vicinity belonged to Li Shen.

Standing on the attic, Li Shen held on to the guardrail and looked at the Lianhe River. "The scenery here is so beautiful. If you die, it would be nice to be buried here."

"Tenth brother, you...you...are you going to kill me?" Gao Yang turned pale with fright after hearing Li Shen's words.

"How could it be?" Li Shen just said it out of emotion, never thinking that Gao Yang had misunderstood. Looking at Gao Yang's appearance, Li Shen smiled.

"Sister Seventeen, what do you think of the scenery here? You and I are both royal children. While enjoying wealth, we also have corresponding responsibilities. We gain and lose the same."

"But I just don't like Fang Yiai, so I'm going to find a consort that I like." Gao Yang said with a pout.

"Hmph! Why do you have it? Because you are a princess? Why does Aye love you? Do you know that these can be lost at any time." Li Shen asked sternly, and then continued to say calmly:

"You have also heard that I am engaged and will get married this year. I have never even seen what she looks like, but this is the princess Aye found for me. I have to accept it because I am a prince. I While enjoying the privileges of a prince, you must also contribute to the royal family, and marriage is one of them."

"But you can still marry concubines and concubines." Gao Yang retorted.

"So what, and you just fancy Bianji's appearance. You don't really like him."

"Nonsense, the debater is so talented, how could I not be sincere?"

"If you were sincere, you wouldn't have had a tryst with him like this. Did you know that if you behaved like this today, Benji would die without any body parts. Are you sure you are sincere, or do you really want him to die?"

"I..." Gao Yang was speechless for a moment. Li Shen was right. If the affair between her and Bianji was exposed, Bianji would definitely die miserably.

"Tenth brother, please save Bianji. He and I are in love. We..."

"Then you two can die together." Li Shen's words shocked Gao Yang. She did not expect that Li Shen would tell her to die.

"Sister Seventeen, have you ever thought about it, if your identity is removed, your wealth is deprived, and you are left alone to follow the counterattack, would you be willing?

At that time, you can only live with Bianji every day, because he broke the precepts and can no longer be a monk, and you two can only go to the countryside to live among the people.

Will you really be able to live like that then? It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Sister Seventeen, if you can't get used to it, you will starve yourself to death. "

"Impossible, I still have savings, and I still have a salary. How could it be possible?" Gao Yang tried his best to argue

"Are these yours? This is given to you by the royal family. Since you don't want to fulfill your responsibilities, then don't expect to enjoy the treatment."

"But why can you be irresponsible? I heard from eldest brother that you didn't obey Aye's arrangements at all." Gao Yang had heard that Li Shimin asked Li Shen to participate in politics, and Li Shen mentioned that he had refused early.

"Because... I haven't received a salary for six years, and I won't receive it for the next three years." Li Shen looked into the distance, crying silently.

"..." Gao Yang was speechless

("Shangshu" records that if a man and a woman do not have a righteous relationship, they will be punished by the palace. This means that the person who has an affair is divided by the palace punishment. Of course, this was from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In the Qin Dynasty, when a husband found out that his daughter-in-law was having an affair with someone, he could kill the two. People are not subject to any legal responsibility.

In the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, the laws became more relaxed. Except for those who observed filial piety, the criminal law for fornication was very severe, and the rest were basically sentenced to a few years in prison.

In the Yuan Dynasty, it became more stringent. If a husband caught an adulterer in bed, the law stipulated that the adulterer and the adulterer must be killed on the spot. If only one was killed and the other escaped, the husband would be guilty instead.

If the rape is not caught on the spot, the woman can be sent to the Yamen, where she will be stripped naked, which is a big deal, and she will basically be beaten to death.

In the Ming Dynasty, if there was adultery, the husband could sell the adulteress, but he could not sell her to the adulterer. In the Republic of China, they were also sentenced to prison terms.

In modern times, it is no longer considered a crime. )
