Chapter 511 of the main volume of the Ruyi Young Man: What's the worst? Chen Huang's decision was not beyond Tang Ning's expectation, but it was just earlier than he expected.
Emperor Chen was dissatisfied with the Tang family two years ago. In the past two years, under his suppression, the Tang family's influence in the court was not as good as before. According to Emperor Chen's character, he had no control over these important people.
The family will not reward excessively, nor will it suppress excessively. Give a sweet date a stick. The Tang family has been beaten so many times, it is time to give a date to comfort them.
Unfortunately, Zhao Man became this sweet date again.
Although she is indeed very sweet, she already has her own name and no one else can eat her or even look at her.
After eating, Tangning hugged her and asked, "Are you sad?"
"Are you right, Father?" Zhao Man looked up at him, then shook his head and said: "No, in the eyes of Father, I am a princess first, and then her daughter. Aren't all emperors like this in ancient times?
?"
This sentence is a bit of a generalization. In fact, there are a few emperors who value love and righteousness, but Huang Huang obviously belongs to the majority. From Tang Ning's understanding of him, what he cares about most is not which prince or princess.
The only thing he cares about most is himself.
In order to achieve his goal, nothing is sacrificed.
Tang Ning patted Zhao Man's shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
"I'm not worried." Zhao Man looked up at him and said with a smile, "Because I know that I still have you."
A man who cannot protect his wife is not a man, but this time is different from before. This marriage is something that Chen Huang is happy to promote, just like he sent her to Chu State to get married. At least it cannot openly violate Chen Huang's wishes.
.
Whether or not the Emperor Chen's wishes were followed is the fundamental difference between this matter and the Liu Feng incident, and the methods adopted are naturally also different.
Today is Shangyuan, and the streets of the capital have been overcrowded since early in the morning.
One day ago, the news that Princess Pingyang was about to be betrothed to the eldest son of the Tang family had already spread. The first people to learn about it were naturally the powerful circles. Although these families were not proud of marrying a princess, His Majesty's marriage was not just a whim.
The Tang family has been languishing in the court for two years. This may be a sign of their re-emergence.
The capital is neither too small nor too big. One day is enough for this news to spread in the capital.
When Princess Pingyang was married to the Chu Kingdom, she attracted widespread attention in the capital. Later, the Chu Kingdom had a coup and the delegation returned without success. People sometimes talked about this poor princess, but initially they all held the same attitude.
Blessing mentality.
Tang Ning left her house around noon and arrived at a busy street. A beggar squatting on the street corner immediately stood up.
Tangning threw a piece of broken silver into his bowl and took a letter from his hand.
The streets of the capital, restaurants and brothels, and the entrances of certain officials and wealthy families who need special attention are all monitored by Beggar Gang disciples on a daily basis.
The more times he received help from Su Mei, the more he realized the importance of information.
He may not have as many magical powers as Su Mei, and he has spies in the palaces of powerful officials in Beijing, but the people under Su Mei are definitely not as free as his people, who can squat under the walls of other people's houses from morning to night and stare at them without attracting attention.
People pay attention.
The Tang family is naturally his focus. When and where the Tang family members went and how long they stayed, the Beggar Clan keeps detailed records every day. The core disciples of the gang have been appointed as Ren Pingsheng since two years ago.
Those who are forced to read and write and do not proactively improve themselves will have no choice but to live at the bottom and make ends meet.
No one is perfect and no one is perfect. Keep an eye on him morning and night. Even if his reputation is very good, you can still find something that others don't know.
For example, when Tang Jing was in a bad mood, he would go to a brothel to vent. It was said that he also had some special hobbies that few prostitutes in the major brothels in Beijing could tolerate.
Naturally, these gossips cannot appear openly in newspapers, but people have always spread the news. Tang Ning did not let anyone publicize this matter in a big way. This was just a test for Chen Huang to see if he could still
Do you have any conscience as a father?
Inside the royal study.
Chen Huang flipped through several memorials, rubbed his wrists, and asked: "Is it the Lantern Festival today?"
Wei Jian stood behind him and said: "Your Majesty, today is the Lantern Festival."
"The capital is only bustling every year today. It's a pity that I can't see it." On the night of the Lantern Festival, there was a festival in the palace. Emperor Chen shook his head, picked up a memorial again, looked at it, frowned, and murmured
Said: "Tang Jing..., he actually has such a bad side..."
He pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a while, he closed the memorial in his hand, threw it aside, and never mentioned it again.
Outside the imperial study, on the square, an official hurriedly walked toward the imperial study, but was stopped midway.
He raised his head and looked at the people in front of him. When his eyes moved to the person in front of him, he immediately bowed and said, "Taishi ordered me to see Concubine Hui."
Concubine Tang Hui looked at him and asked: "Your Majesty just took a rest. What do you want from Your Majesty?"
Taishi Ling said respectfully: "To return to your Majesty, your Majesty ordered someone to send the horoscopes of Princess Pingyang and Tang Jing yesterday. The Taishi Bureau has already calculated them and is about to report to Your Majesty."
Concubine Tang Hui looked at him and asked: "The two of them have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, so they must be very compatible with each other, right?"
Taishi Ling opened his mouth and said awkwardly: "Back to your Majesty, the Taishi Bureau has calculated several times and found that the princess and Mr. Tang's horoscopes are not compatible, and their fates are conflicting..."
Concubine Tang Hui glanced at him indifferently and said: "I have already made a calculation, and Princess Pingyang and Tang Jing are very compatible. They are a rare good match. Did you, Taishi Bureau, make a mistake in your calculation?"
"The empress is joking, how could the Taishi Bureau..." Taishi Ling looked at Concubine Tang Hui and saw her cold expression. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood.
The marriage between Princess Pingyang and Tang Jing is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It involves the Tang family, Concubine Tang Hui, and Prince Duan. Countless people are hoping that this marriage can be completed. If the Taishi Bureau tells the truth
, wouldn’t it offend these people to death?
None of these people could be offended by his little Taishi Ling.
He touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "Maybe, maybe the Taishi Bureau made a mistake."
Concubine Tang Hui looked at him and said: "Since the calculation is wrong, let's take it back and calculate it again a few times. When the calculation is accurate, I will hand it over to Your Majesty."
Taishi Ling bowed and said: "I obey your orders."
Concubine Tang Hui glanced at him, turned and left.
Tai Shiling stood in the square with a hesitant look on his face and even more hesitation in his heart.
The results of the Taishi Bureau will not be wrong. Failure to report truthfully is cheating the emperor. When the time comes, even if you use miscalculation reasons to excuse yourself, you will not be able to escape punishment.
But if they report it truthfully, I am afraid that the punishment will come earlier. After all, the Tang family has been silent for two years. This is an opportunity to come into the public eye again. How can they let it go?
If the Taishi Bureau messed up the situation, how would they let themselves go?
Tai Shiling thought about it again and again, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and walked in the direction he came from. As he walked, he murmured in a low voice: "The eight characters are in conflict, the numerology is inconsistent, it is very unlucky..."
