Chapter 780 Don’t be too concerned about a small flaw like being fined for half a year’s salary (please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Chubi finally learned about today's meeting from his own father, because it was because of "Shun Liu's Nursery Rhyme of Hundred Family Surnames".
A fierce conflict broke out, and the wealthy families became murderous.
He wanted to thoroughly investigate the origin of this nursery rhyme that satirized them, and also wanted His Majesty to suppress the matter.
Next, it was time for their father's performance, and the three brothers looked at their father's gestures with dark expressions on their faces.
The spittle flew everywhere and demonstrated how he could verbally quarrel with other scholars, and even made someone so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.
In short, my own father scolded those aristocratic families until they were so ashamed that they cried bitterly and just bowed down.
In the end, His Majesty couldn't bear it anymore, so he imposed a small punishment for the sake of the harmony and unity of the Tang Dynasty.
"Although dad was fined half a year's salary, hehe... four of the servants who dared to quarrel with dad were fined three months each, hahaha..."
Hearing the hearty and flamboyant laughter of their biological father, Cheng Yaojin, the three brothers quickly flattered him.
He severely reprimanded those gentlemen who dared to quarrel with his father, and gave a disgusting compliment to his father for maintaining order in the court and maintaining the majesty of the emperor.
All in all, this riot in the court was once again completely won by my own father's great power.
Of course, you shouldn’t take it too seriously over a minor flaw like being fined for half a year’s salary.
After all, the old Cheng family would not be able to survive long ago if they really had to rely on their biological father's salary, which was deducted every now and then and could not be repaid.
"Just kidding, it's been so long, why would His Majesty suddenly think of giving a reward for the second child? Originally, the root cause was father."
"Yes, yes, dad, you are the best."
"Of course, there is no one in Chang'an City who doesn't know how powerful our father is?"
"Uncle Fu, hurry up and have the wine and food served quickly. The three of us brothers can have a few drinks with you, Dad."
While he was talking, the three younger brothers also rushed over. Cheng Yao was so happy that his golden eyebrows stretched wide and he laughed heartily. His mother came to the front hall with a smile on her face and hugged her sister.
What does it matter if you are fined a salary? If you are fined, what can you do?
As long as you have a healthy family, you can still drink, eat, brag, and fart, and you'll still be happy.
This is the daily life of Lao Cheng's family, so warm and full of joy.

Early the next morning, Cheng Chubi had just arrived at the East Palace and was standing on the steps with his head held high, holding the sword.
With majestic eyes and a solemn expression, he was in a daze in the Li Zheng Hall, receiving the crown prince Li Chengqian and the ministers below who were chattering there.
It was another very ordinary day, and for some reason, Zhang Xuansu did not come to attend the Umrah meeting.
It was said that he was ill, but he didn't know whether it was a real illness or a fake one. Cheng Chubi thought that it was probably because he was angry about his masterpiece "Shunliu's Nursery Rhymes of Hundred Family Surnames" which had been corrected by his own father.
Originally, I wanted to see how this guy would react after hearing the jingle that satirized him.
In the end, this guy didn't even show his face, which made Cheng Chubi very regretful, but it didn't matter.
Anyway, if Zhang Xuansu dares to gibberish, the worst case scenario is that everyone will continue to fight like gongs and drums for a while. After all, the Cheng family, who are big and round, are still afraid of that frail old scholar?
However, during the small court meeting in the East Palace today, the eyes of the officials in the East Palace would always unconsciously glance at the face of the old god Cheng Chubi.
Although due to His Majesty's strong suppression and warning, it was impossible for the imperial court to come forward to restrain the "Shunliu Zhi Bai Family Nursery Rhymes" in the hustle and bustle inside and outside Chang'an City.
However, the aristocratic family is not a fool. After many guesses and inferences, they all feel that this is a satirical nursery rhyme with a tricky angle.
I'm afraid it may have something to do with the old Cheng family, after all, this nursery rhyme contains...
The words of praise for the shameless Cheng family are simply unbearable to witness.
Who could be so shameless as to praise the old Cheng family? Therefore, it was probably the Cheng family who did it.
After all, there was a very talented and learned poet in Lao Cheng's family: Cheng Chu Bi Cheng Taichang.
Cheng Sanlang, who had eaten bear's heart, leopard's gall, and drank wolf's heart and dog's lung soup, had a really different mind than ordinary people.
Therefore, he is very likely to be the real culprit behind the scenes. Of course, all this is just speculation, after all, there is no actual evidence.
However, just because it was guessed that it was the old Cheng family, this actually made all the aristocratic families feel extremely pained.
For no other reason, first of all, Cheng Yaojin, a notorious court bully, was scolded by His Majesty every once in a while, with his salary deducted and ordered to do so.
But the problem is, who wants to take the opportunity to impeach the old Cheng family, haha... His Majesty will not offend you at all.
Moreover, Cheng Yaojin has been jumping up and down for so many years, but instead of losing the emperor's favor because of this, his status has become more and more stable.
Moreover, His Majesty commended Cheng Yaojin for his loyalty on many different occasions.
What's more, he didn't deal with civil servants, but he had a wide network of contacts among the military officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Except for a few generals who were either arrogant or had personal grudges against him, almost no one was willing to compete with him in the ring.
Later, Cheng Chubi, Cheng Sanlang, suddenly emerged. With his incredible medical skills, he cured the emperor and sought the life of the queen.
In Jiucheng Palace, he used a pair of iron maces to rescue His Majesty's most beloved Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang, as well as a certain prince with a superior background.
Later, when the prince's status was in danger due to foot disease, he once again used his miraculous medical skills to cure the prince's foot disease which had almost no hope of recovery.
I even heard that the relationship between His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor can gradually ease, and this guy has played a lot of tricks in it.
In this way, Cheng Sanlang has been a life-saving grace to everyone in the Li royal family. It can be said that as long as he doesn't suddenly change the situation.
As long as His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are alive, Cheng Chubi will definitely be able to sit back and relax for the rest of his life.
Think about it, during the previous imperial examination, Cheng Chubi had a fierce conflict with his Majesty's brother-in-law and the empress's biological brother, Sun Libu.
What was the result? It actually ended with this boy's complete victory, which is enough to prove how important this boy's status is in His Majesty's heart.
Under such circumstances, how do you want to take revenge on the old Cheng family?
It is impossible to retaliate openly, but secretly retaliate, for example, target the old Cheng family and ruin the reputation of the old Cheng family?
Sorry, the name of the old Cheng family is already notorious in the official circles of the Tang Dynasty, okay, what's the use of doing it again?
It's really because I obviously suspected that the old Cheng family was responsible, but I just couldn't think of any strategy or method of revenge.
This is what troubles the most aristocratic families.
