Chapter 247: Take the initiative to come to the door
"Did I laugh?" Emperor Chen clutched his chest and said, "It's a pity that the Tang family has been operating for so many years, I am sad and regretful!" ”
His hands were on his chest, and the smile on his face was still bright.
Concubine Shu continued to massage his head, but she didn't break it again.
The Tang family has been operating in Beijing for a long time, not only because there are many henchmen in the court, but also because they have controlled the Ministry of Rites for many years and are in charge of the imperial examination, and their reputation among the people and Shilin is also unique for a while.
In recent days, the reputation of the Tang family has been damaged one after another, which is exactly what His Majesty is happy to see.
Emperor Chen took a break in Shuxiu Palace, and then returned to the imperial study.
After he sat down, he asked as if unintentionally: "Wei Jian, did you say that this fire was set by Cheng'er, or is it the little fox?" ”
Wei Jian was surprised: "Didn't they all say that it was the Tang family?" ”
"How can the Tang family be so stupid?" Emperor Chen shook his head and said, "It's unlikely that Cheng'er, he can't think of such a method, even if he does, he won't just burn the gate, so all this is planned by the little fox?" ”
Wei Jian was puzzled: "Ah, what Your Majesty said, why can't the old slave understand?" Does this matter have anything to do with His Royal Highness King Kang? Who is the little fox? ”
"That little fox first tied up the boys of the Xiao family, the Liu family, the Huang family, and him, so that if the Tang family is in trouble, they have to weigh it, and the Liu family and the Huang family are not willing to make enemies with the Tang family because of a trivial matter, but they will not allow him to ride on their heads three times and twice......"
Emperor Chen twisted the short beard on his chin and continued: "More importantly, he knows that Cheng'er will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely chase it to the end, when the time comes, whether it is done by the Tang family or not, the Tang family will not be able to clear the suspicion, I want to see what other means he has next, the Tang family, it should be peaceful for some days......"
……
"What are you going to do next?" Xiao Jue leaned on the pillar in the pavilion and asked: "The Criminal Department and Dali Temple can't find evidence of the Tang family's arson, and they can't be convicted based on speculation, at most, they can only be disgusted and disgusted, disgusting and disgusting immortals......"
Tang Ning didn't speak, he said to himself: "However, this matter is enough for the Tang family to drink a pot, and many imperial historians in the court bite them and don't let go, just waiting to find their flaws, and if they don't give an explanation, Liu Jun and Mu Yu and their family will not let go easily." ”
Tang Ning looked in a certain direction and said, "Let it be......"
Tang Ren Zhai reopened on the third day of the burning.
This time, not only did they take out all the follow-up content of "The Legend of the White Snake", but Tang Ningning's new work "Baolian Lantern" was directly published in ten volumes, and the last ten volumes will also be printed intensively, and all of them will be sold in five days.
"Bai Suzhen's family is finally reunited, it's so good!"
"Miss Tang's new work is as good-looking as ever."
"The Three Holy Mothers are so pitiful, they were pressed under Mount Hua by their own brother......"
"How can there be such ruthless brothers and uncles in this world, even if they make up stories, it's a little too outrageous, right?"
"Hehe, why don't you have this kind of person, the Third Holy Mother has only been suppressed for fifteen years, in this Jingshi, but someone has been imprisoned by his own brother for eighteen years!"
"My God, this Ning Ning girl is going to fight against the Tang family to the end!"
……
Tang Ren Zhai reopened, and the readers of Jingshi were jubilant.
On the contrary, the Tang family is in a haze.
Tang Huai didn't go to the Ministry of Rites today, and on the table in front of him, there were two scripts.
One is "The Legend of the White Snake" and the other is "Baolian Lantern".
The common people reprimanded the Tang family for ignoring family affection, being ruthless and unjust, and the imperial history of the DPRK and China vied for impeachment and arson, but there has been no result so far.
It only took a few months for the Tang family to go from being admired by everyone to becoming infamous today.
Originally, this was just a family affair of the Tang family, and even if it was known to everyone in Beijing, it would not have a serious impact, but with the guidance of these two popular scripts, it directly expanded the impact of this matter by a thousand times and a hundred times.
Tang Huai looked down and said with some self-deprecation: "Just because of these two books? ”
Tang Qi was also a little difficult to accept, because of the two scripts, the reputation of the Tang family was ruined, even though the Tang family's background was all over the sky, but it couldn't block the people's mouths, and they couldn't interfere with the Guozijian who had been intervened by King Kang.
As soon as the Tang Renzhai arson case came out, they couldn't take any measures, but they had to worry that if there was any mistake in Tang Renzhai, the first thing the people and the court would suspect was their Tang family.
Tang Huai pondered for a long time before he spoke: "The arson case, let's stop here." ”
Tang Qi thought for a while and asked, "What about these two books......
"Let it go." Tang Huai waved his hand and said, "Don't miss a big thing because of a small fish." ”
For the Tang family, the first thing is naturally to ensure the power of King Duan in the court, and in this process, what the Tang family has lost can be doubled back after King Duan ascends the throne.
If these things are chaotic and affect the overall situation, the gains outweigh the losses.
Tang Qi nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”
……
Although the arson case of Tangrenzhai is still being investigated by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the popularity in the court has obviously decreased.
Tang Zhao once ordered someone to smash Tang Ren Zhai, and the Tang family paid a huge amount of money to the Liu family and other families in order to apologize.
This is the end of the smashing of the store, and the arson storm has subsided.
Everyone knows that this is already the attitude expressed by the Tang family, and if they hold on to this matter any longer, it will not benefit anyone.
Although His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Tang family and has the intention to weaken, weakening does not mean cutting it down, this matter only has an impact on the reputation of the Tang family in a certain aspect, and the Tang family in the court is still the Tang family that can call the wind and rain.
Liu Jun put a stack of silver tickets on the table and said, "The Tang family is willing to pay 100,000 taels this time, and this 50,000 taels is what Brother Tang deserves." ”
The Tang family was willing to take out 100,000 taels, naturally not to pay compensation, but to give an attitude to calm the matter, even the Liu family and other families were unwilling to offend the Tang family too hard, so they went down the steps.
Liu Jun looked at him and said, "Brother Tang, don't worry, after this incident, they will definitely not make any more moves against Tang Renzhai." ”
Tang Ning nodded and smiled, and said, "Brother Liu has worked hard. ”
"It should." Liu Jun waved his hand and said, "How can I say that I also have a share in this shop, if there is anything in the future, Brother Tang can just say hello." ”
After Liu Jun left, Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "Fifty thousand taels is good, there are concubines in the palace, there is King Duan, Your Majesty will not really do anything to the Tang family, before you, no one has ever forced the Tang family to this step." ”
Tang Ning suddenly stood up and walked out of the court.
Xiao Jue hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"The Tang family."
"Tang family, isn't this the Tang family, which Tang family are you going to?" Xiao Jue muttered, but was stunned, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
……
Tang House.
There are many Tang mansions in Jingshi, but when it comes to Tang Mansion, the first thing that comes to the minds of the people must be the Tang Shangshu Mansion located in the east of Jingshi.
The three masters of the family are all in the court, and the concubine is a concubine in the palace, and the prince is in the limelight, and there are few families in Jingshi, which can be more prominent than the Tang family.
But the illustrious is prominent, in recent days, pedestrians passing by the gate of the Tang Mansion have not spat on the Tang Mansion.
This directly led to the fact that when the concierge of the Tang Mansion saw someone passing by in front of the mansion, his eyes would stare at it deadly, and if someone dared to do anything uncivil, he would rush up and punch and kick.
"This is the Tang Mansion, I heard that Tang Shangshu has locked up his own sister in the mansion for eighteen years, is it true?"
"Naturally, it's true, this matter, who doesn't know in Jingshi, such a ruthless and unrighteous person can actually do the Ministry of Rites, the court is really blind...... Phew! ”
"It's really exactly the same as what is written in the book, grandma has legs, this kind of person can be a big official, and I'm too!"
……
The concierge of the Tang Mansion saw that there were people spitting on the Tang Mansion on the street, and he was immediately furious: "You two, stop!" ”
The two of them ran wildly, and the porter chased after them all the way, only to kick one of them in the ass, and he fell on his heels.
He got up, patted the dust on his body, and when he walked back panting, he saw a person standing at the gate of the Tang Mansion.
This is a young man, with a long stature and extremely handsome birth.
There was also a woman beside the young man, tall and lovely-looking.
The two of them looked very human at first glance, and when the porter walked over, a smile appeared on his face and asked, "Who is Childe looking for?" ”
The young man looked at the Tang Mansion and said, "Please inform the person in charge of your mansion that Tang Ning is visiting." ”
