Chapter two hundred and forty-seven take the initiative to come to the door
"Are I smiling?" Chen Huang covered his chest and said, "It's a pity that the Tang family has managed the business for so many years. I feel so sad and regretful!"
He put his hands on his chest, and the smile on his face was still bright.
Concubine Shu continued to massage his head, but she didn't reveal it any more.
The Tang family has been operating in the capital for a long time. Not only does it have many members in the court, but it also controls the Ministry of Rites for many years and is in charge of the imperial examinations. It also has an unparalleled reputation among the people and officials.
In recent days, the reputation of the Tang family has been damaged one after another, which is what His Majesty is happy to see.
Emperor Chen took a nap in Shuxiu Palace for a while, and then returned to the imperial study.
After he sat down, he asked seemingly unintentionally: "Wei Jian, do you think it was Cheng'er who set the fire, or the little fox?"
Wei Jian said in surprise: "Don't they all say it's the Tang family?"
"How can the Tang family be so stupid?" Chen Huang shook his head and said: "It's unlikely that it's Cheng'er. He couldn't think of such a method. Even if he thought of it, he wouldn't just burn down the door. In this way, all of this is
Did that little fox plan it?"
Wei Jian asked in confusion: "Ah, why can't this old slave understand what His Majesty said? Does this matter have something to do with His Highness Prince Kang? Who is the little fox?"
"The little fox first tied the boys from the Xiao family, the Liu family, and the Huang family to him. In this way, if the Tang family made trouble, they would have to weigh it carefully. The Liu family and the Huang family were not willing to fight with the Tang family over a trivial matter.
The family is at odds with each other, but they will not allow him to ride on their heads again and again..."
Chen Huang twisted the short beard on his chin and continued: "What's more important is that he knows that Cheng'er will definitely not let go of this opportunity and will pursue it to the end. When the time comes, no matter whether it was done by the Tang family or not, Tang
The Tang family can't get rid of the suspicion, but I want to see what other methods he can use next. It's time for the Tang family to live in peace for some time..."
…
"What are you going to do next?" Xiao Jue leaned on the pillar in the pavilion and asked: "The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple can't find evidence that the Tang family set fire. They can't convict based on mere speculation. At most, they can only disgust them.
That's all, disgusting and disgusting..."
Tang Ning didn't speak, so he just said to himself: "However, this matter is enough for the Tang family to drink a pot of wine. Many censors in the court are biting them and won't let go. They are just waiting to find their flaws without giving any clues.
Liu Jun and Mu Yu's family won't let it go easily."
Tangning looked in a certain direction and said, "Let nature take its course..."
Tangrenzhai reopened on the third day after it was burned.
This time, not only have they released all the follow-up content of "The Legend of White Snake", but Tang Ningning's new work "The Lotus Lantern" has been published in ten volumes. The last ten volumes will also be printed at a faster pace and will be sold out in five days.
"Bai Suzhen's family is finally reunited. It's great!"
"Miss Tang's new work is as beautiful as ever."
"The Third Holy Mother is so pitiful, being crushed under Mount Hua by her own brother..."
"How can there be such a cruel brother and uncle in this world? Even if you are making up a story, it would be a bit too outrageous, right?"
"Haha, how come there are no such people anymore? The Third Holy Mother was only suppressed for fifteen years. In this capital, there is someone who was imprisoned by his own brother for eighteen years!"
"Oh my god, this girl Ning Ning is going to fight against the Tang family to the end!"
…
Tangrenzhai reopened, and readers in the capital were very happy.
On the contrary, the Tang family was in a haze.
Tang Huai did not go to the Ministry of Rites today. There were two scripts on the table in front of him.
One is "The Legend of the White Snake" and the other is "The Lotus Lantern".
The common people denounced the Tang family for being ruthless and unjust, and the imperial censors in the court and the imperial court rushed to impeach him. The arson case has yet to be resolved.
It only took a few months for the Tang family to go from being respected by everyone to becoming notorious today.
This was originally just a family matter of the Tang family, and even if everyone in the capital knew about it, it would not have a serious impact. However, with the guidance of these two popular storybooks, the impact of this matter has been directly expanded to thousands of people.
A hundred times.
Tang Huai looked down and said with some self-deprecation: "Is it because of these two books?"
Tang Qi was also a little hard to accept, because just two scripts had ruined the reputation of the Tang family. Even though the Tang family had a great background, it could not stop the people from talking, and it could not interfere with the Imperial Academy, which had been intervened by King Kang.
As soon as the Tang Renzhai arson case came out, they could not take any measures. Instead, they had to worry that if there were any mistakes in Tang Renzhai again, the people and the court would be the first to suspect the Tang family.
Tang Huai pondered for a long time before speaking: "Let's end the arson case 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 important events because of a small fish."
For the Tang family, the first priority is to ensure the power of Prince Duan in the court. In this process, whatever the Tang family loses, they can get back twice as much after Prince Duan ascends the throne.
If these things mess up the situation and affect the overall situation, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Tang Qi nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements."
…
Although the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are still investigating the Tangrenzhai arson case, the interest in the court has obviously subsided.
Tang Zhao once ordered people to smash the Tang Renzhai. The Tang family apologized and paid a huge sum of money to the Liu family and other families. It is said that the money was enough to buy several Tang Renzhai.
The incident of smashing up the store was over, and the incident of arson also subsided.
Everyone knows that this is already the attitude expressed by the Tang family, and it will be of no benefit to anyone if they continue to dwell on this matter.
Although His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Tang family and intends to weaken it, weakening does not mean eliminating it. This incident only affects the reputation of the Tang family in certain aspects. The Tang family in the court is still the Tang family that can make all the changes.
Liu Jun put a stack of banknotes on the table and said, "The Tang family is willing to pay one hundred thousand taels this time. Brother Tang deserves these 50,000 taels."
The Tang family was willing to pay one hundred thousand taels, naturally not for compensation, but to give an attitude to calm the matter. Even the Liu family and other families were not willing to offend the Tang family too much, so they walked down the steps.
Liu Jun looked at him and said, "Brother Tang, you can rest assured. After this incident, they will definitely not attack Tang Renzhai again."
Tang Ning nodded, smiled, and said, "Brother Liu, thank you for your hard work."
"It should be." Liu Jun waved his hand and said, "After all, I also own this shop. If anything happens in the future, just say hello to Brother Tang."
After Liu Jun left, Xiao Jue looked at him and said: "Fifty thousand taels is not bad. There is Concubine Hui and Prince Duan in the palace. Your Majesty will not really do anything to the Tang family. Before you, no one has ever done anything to the Tang family."
My family has forced me to this point.”
Tangning suddenly stood up and walked out of the court.
Xiao Jue hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"
"Tang family."
"Tang family, isn't this the Tang family? Which Tang family are you going to?" Xiao Jue murmured, and was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
…
Tang Mansion.
There are many Tang mansions in the capital, but when it comes to Tang mansions, the first thing that comes to people's minds must be the Tang Dynasty Minister's Mansion located to the east of the capital.
Three outstanding figures from the same family are in the court, the legitimate daughter is a concubine in the palace, and the prince is in the limelight. There are few families in the capital that are more prominent than the Tang family.
But prominence comes from prominence. In recent days, many pedestrians passing by the Tang Mansion have spat at 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, he would stare at him. If anyone dared to do anything uncivilized, he would rush forward and punch and kick him.
"This is the Tang Mansion. I heard that Tang Shangshu imprisoned his own sister in the mansion for eighteen years. Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. No one in the capital knows about this. Such a ruthless and unjust person can actually become the Minister of Rites. The imperial court is really blind... Bah!"
"It's exactly like what's written in the storybook. Grandma is so stupid. This kind of person can be a high official, so I'm bum!"
…
When the concierge of the Tang Mansion saw another person spitting at the Tang Mansion on the street, he immediately became furious: "You two, stop!"
The two of them ran wildly, and the concierge chased them all the way, but only kicked one of them on the butt and fell down himself.
He got up, dusted himself off, and when he came back panting, he saw someone standing at the door of Tang Mansion.
This is a young man, tall and handsome.
There is a woman beside the young man, tall and pretty.
The two of them looked very nice at first glance. When the concierge walked over, a smile appeared on his face and asked: "Who are you looking for, sir?"
The young master looked at the Tang mansion and said, "Please inform the person in charge of your mansion that Tang Ning will pay you a visit."
