Emperor Chen's face was annoyed, and Tang Ning bowed down and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

"You don't have to do this with me." Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "If you know that you are guilty, don't commit it, do you know how much trouble you have caused me?" ”

Tang Ning said: "I am ashamed to ...... Your Majesty"

Emperor Chen said angrily: "For a small case, even the envoys of the Chu State have come forward......

Tang Ning didn't bow his head again this time to admit his mistake, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I don't think this is a small case. ”

Emperor Chen smiled angrily and said, "Oh, then tell me, what's the big deal about this case?" ”

Tang Ning cleared his throat and said, "In the eyes of Your Majesty, this may be just a small case, but three years ago, because of this case, the minister almost lost his life......

Without waiting for Emperor Chen to speak, Tang Ning continued: "If the minister lost his life three years ago, it is naturally impossible to have three yuan and the first, and if the minister cannot have three yuan and the first, he will not be able to walk in six parts, and he will not be able to walk in six parts, and the moths in the six parts will not be able to be removed, which will lead to the court being full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the treasury will be empty, and he will not even be able to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for water control......."

"In addition, if the minister was assassinated three years ago, naturally he would not be able to go south to the south of the Yangtze River, and go north to the grassland, the south of the Yangtze River would be controlled by the Hao clan, usurped by the Yu Party of the Liang State, and the grassland would not be stable......

……

Chen Huang looked at him dumbfounded, always feeling that something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute.

After thinking about it, he couldn't seem to refute it at all.

Throughout the past few years, among the several major events that have occurred in Chen Guo, which one does not have Tang Ning's figure, and which one major event, he does not play a key or even decisive role.

Just imagine, if he really died under the assassination of the Tang family three years ago, now Chen Guo may really be in turmoil.

If nothing else, he said that he did six departments, went down to the south of the Yangtze River, went to the grassland ......, and inside, cleared countless moths for the imperial court, cleaned up the chaofeng, and made the treasury out of thin air with an extra hundred million taels of silver.

"Ahem, ahem!" Emperor Chen coughed lightly, concealed his embarrassment, and said, "The Tang family is your relative in the end, why do you want to kill them all?" ”

Tang Ning smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "They assassinated the minister three times and twice, but did they ever treat the minister as a relative?" ”

Emperor Chen looked at him, sighed, and said, "The Tang family is the mother family of King Duan, and the maiden family of Concubine Hui, it is impossible for me to exterminate them......

"I have removed the official position of the young master of Prince Tang Huai, deprived him of his title, demoted him to a commoner, and at the same time raided the old mansion of the Tang family, are you satisfied with this result?"

Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "The Tang family has violated the law and should be punished, Your Majesty will deal with it in accordance with the law of the country, and the ministers will obey the law of the country......"

Emperor Chen glared at him and said, "You are cheap and obedient, if I hadn't looked at your face this time, I would have pressed the fold of the criminal department a long time ago......"

Tang Ning smiled embarrassedly, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty......"

"It's good to know I'm protecting you." Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "In the future, don't steal and play tricks, and do a good job for me!" ”

……

Tang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief as he walked out of the imperial study.

Emperor Chen considered the result of this disposition that Chu Guo felt, which was already what he expected, and the limit of what Emperor Chen could do.

After today, although there are many people with the surname Tang in Jingshi, there is only one Tang family.

The Tang family, whose ancestral house was raided and rushed back to the treasury, can no longer be called the Tang family.

The once glorious Tang family has completely become history, and the price Tang Ning paid for this is that Emperor Chen took back two months' vacation and asked him to go to Shangshu Province tomorrow to deal with the excerpts.

Tang Ning sighed, he had already planned how these two months had passed, how long had he only been back from the grassland, Emperor Chen was simply Zhao Peel......

After Tang Ning left, Wei Jian walked back to the imperial study slowly.

Emperor Chen glanced at him and asked, "What did you steal from him?" ”

Wei Jian wiped his mouth and said, "Lord Tang just gave half an apple to the old slave. ”

Chen Huang said casually: "When did you become so familiar with him?" ”

Wei Jian smiled and said, "I don't know too well, it's Lord Tang who treats people kindly, and he doesn't ......look down on us as a slave."

"Come on...... Emperor Chen waved his hand and said: "He is kind, that's because he can be a yin person when he laughs, in the past few years, people who think like you have begun to grow grass on their graves......"

……

The envoys of the State of Chu came forward, and the efficiency of the imperial court was really different.

In less than a day, the punishment for the Tang family had already come down.

The Tang family was unfavorable to the envoys of friendly countries, and the head of the family, Tang Huai, could not escape the blame, and now removed his official title and demoted him to a commoner, and at the same time confiscated the Tang family's property as a punishment.

Everyone was not surprised that the Son of Heaven had done such a punishment to the Tang family, because if this time he had lightly exposed the matter, it would be difficult for the envoys of the Chu State to explain it at all.

Compared with the Chu State, the Tang family is nothing.

In the past few years, the Tang family has been declining, and until now, even the Tang family is not counted.

Inside the old mansion of the Tang family.

Tang Huai, who had already received the crown and court clothes, knelt on the ground, kowtowed in the direction of the eunuch, and said in a calm voice: "Minister, thank Your Majesty Longen......"

The eunuch heard a tremor in his calm voice, looked at him with embarrassment, and after handing him the decree, he turned and left.

All the maids of the Tang family knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to get up.

The Tang family finally waited for this result, the turmoil in the DPRK and China, the Tang family did not die, but the family was broken, three days later, everyone in the Tang family will move out of here, when the time comes, it is still unknown where the master will go, let alone their subordinates.

Tang Huai stood up slowly, his body staggered, Tang Qi hurriedly supported him, and said: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood to burn......

Tang Huai refused Tang Qi's support, waved his hand to his subordinates, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's all gone......

……

The once brilliant Tang family, which was in full swing, was scattered overnight, and the old mansion of the Tang family was also sealed by the imperial court.

The imperial court only demoted Tang Huai to a commoner and took the Tang family's mansion without touching their property.

After moving out of the old mansion, the Tang family purchased another house in the western district of Jingshi, the scale of which naturally cannot be compared with the old mansion, but it can be regarded as having a place to live.

In this turmoil, Tang Huai and Tang Qi were the most affected, both of them lost their official positions, but Tang Jing was not implicated, and still served as his middle scholar, but he also had to move out of the old house and find another place.

Tang Jing did not live with his two brothers, but purchased a courtyard two streets apart, the yard is not big, and the husband and wife live, but it is enough.

The more brilliant the Tang family was before, the more embarrassing it was compared to the current situation.

Jingshi is like a deep pool full of whirlpools, in which the undercurrent is turbulent, the reef is all over, and no matter how big the ship, there is a risk of capsizing if it is not careful.

Duanwang's mother's family, the big ship from Concubine Tang Hui, has obviously fallen apart and no longer exists.

From now on, when it comes to the Jingshi Tang family, there will be no more disagreements.

Because after today, there is only one Tang family.
