Seven hundred and fortieth chapters follow one after another
In Tianxiang Tower, everyone in the Tang family was sitting in the largest pavilion. The food and wine on the table had already been served. The aroma was fragrant, but no one moved their chopsticks.
Tang Zhao looked at the table full of food and wine, swallowed secretly, put down the chopsticks he had picked up, looked at Tang Huai, then looked at Tang Qi, and asked: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Today is a happy day for the head of the family's birthday, but the scene they saw at the entrance of Tianxiang Tower just now made everyone unhappy.
The once abandoned son of the Tang family has now become the most dazzling star in the capital. All his friends are important figures in the court. On the other hand, the Tang family has declined to this point. No one in the family is in a high position. Looking around, the whole court is full of people.
Above, there are no more vassals.
The feeling of being in the clouds and in the mud is not pleasant.
No one moved the chopsticks for a long time. Seeing that the food was about to get cold, Tang Qi looked at Tang Huai. Tang Huai waved his hand and said, "Use the chopsticks."
When the head of the house spoke, everyone picked up their chopsticks.
This birthday banquet was tasteless. The head of the family said nothing during the whole process, and everyone did not dare to speak. They just ate in silence until the banquet was over.
It was already dark in the Tang family, and the lights were still on in Tang Huai's study.
"He is provoking." Tang Qi clenched his fist and said, "After so long, he is finally going to show his fangs to the Tang family."
"Jingzhao Mansion Office, Department of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai, Punishment Department..." Tang Huai looked at the night outside the window and said, "He wants to kill all the Tang family."
Tang Qi said: "Do you want to inform the queen immediately? As long as the queen informs your majesty, your majesty will not sit idly by and do nothing."
Tang Huai glanced at him and said, "Don't forget who asked him to walk in the six steps."
Tang Qi said unwillingly: "Are we just going to sit back and wait for death?"
"Let's take a look first." Tang Huai slowly sat down and said, "What tricks does he have, the Tang family will follow."
Tang Qi knew very well that the decline of the Tang family was temporary. No matter how low the Tang family fell, as long as King Duan did not fall, the Tang family would always regain its glory.
But even with the trump card of King Duan, it will only take effect when the new emperor ascends the throne. Now that the Tang family is in Pingyang, any cat or dog can step forward and step on it. The Tang family has been the master of the capital for decades, but has it ever suffered such a thing?
humiliation?
However, the situation is stronger than the people. Today, the Tang family is far less powerful than someone else. People are killed by swords, and I am fish and meat. The Tang family is the fish and meat on the chopping board, just like the young lady when facing the Tang family twenty years ago.
With the scholar.
After Tang Qi left, Tang Huai stood up. Although his face was calm, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails left deep marks on his fingertips.
…
Tangning rested in Tang Yaoyao's room tonight.
After returning to the capital, he usually took turns resting in a room with three people, which would give his servants the illusion that a certain lady was being neglected.
He had a banquet with Fang Hong, Song Qian and others at Tiantianju today, and it was naturally about the Tang family's affairs.
Now that he has decided to settle accounts with the Tang family, he did not leave any room for the Tang family from the beginning.
The Song Qian brothers were able to mobilize the Punishment Department and the Punishment Division, Xu Qingyang was on the censor's desk, and the Ministry of Personnel recently transferred Zhang Yansheng to Dali Temple. In addition, the Jingzhao Mansion and Ping'an County Yamen, the Tang family will be very busy these days.
The Tang family is really too powerful and has deep roots in Chen State. Even if they are reduced to the current situation, they still have a chance to make a comeback.
Of course, Tangning would not give them such a chance.
He had waited four full years to get to where he is today. Not everyone can let go of the hatred of life and death.
Before he was ready to take action, he had already accumulated enough strength.
Tang Yaoyao held her chin, sat opposite him, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
When Tang Ning looked at Tang Yaoyao, she suddenly remembered something.
The reconciliation between Chen Guo and the grassland will allow them to exchange their needs. Countless business opportunities will instantly arise between the two countries. It is foreseeable that after the border is officially lifted, countless businessmen will flock to the grassland to seize the market.
The future business focus of the Tang family will definitely not be in the capital. From now on, we must prepare for the future.
Tangning looked at her and said, "I want to send a caravan to the grassland to seize business opportunities before the border is lifted. You can arrange a team in the next few days. When we get to the grassland, I will ask Wan Yanyan to help them."
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said angrily: "You are really thinking about that little wild horse!"
Tangning was stunned and explained, "I'm telling you about the caravan..."
"I'm talking to you about that little wild horse..." Tang Yaoyao put his hands on his hips and said, "You haven't explained what happened last time. You participated in that competition, and what happened next..."
Tangning looked at her and said, "We'll talk about this later. What did you ask me just now?"
Tang Yaoyao said: "Ask about your little wild horse..."
Tangning shook her head and said, "No, it's the previous sentence."
Tang Yaoyao thought for a while, looked at him, and asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"
Tangning lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and said, "I didn't think about anything."
…
Emperor Chen gave Tang Ning a two-month long vacation. During the past two months, he had been idle at home. It was also the Tang family, but the other Tang family was not so idle.
In the past few days, the Ping'an County Government Office, the Jingzhao Government Office, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple came one after another, taking turns sending messengers to deliver messages to the door. In the past year, there were not so many guests from the Tang family.
It's not a good thing for these yamen to come to the Tang family.
Either the Tang family invaded other people's fields and shops, or they committed murders and injured people, or they bullied the market and disturbed public order...
These are not big cases, and they are all long-standing cases. Before, no yamen would dare to trouble the Tang family because of these matters.
It was precisely because no one dared to look for her before that all the troubles came to her door today.
Tang Zhao had just finished his trip to the Criminal Department and returned from the Ping'an County Yamen. Before he had time to drink tea, someone from the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen came again.
He picked up the teapot and took a sip. He looked at the sullen Tang Qi and said, "Dad, people from Ping'an County government will come later. Remember to ask the accountant to pay them a hundred taels of silver. I smashed other people's shops before, but now I have to
Lose money..."
"You bastard!" Tang Qi glared at him and said, "None of the troubles in the Tang family these past two days were caused by you!"
"Dad, this is your fault..." Tang Zhao put down the teapot and said: "No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. It's not too late to make up for it. I did a lot of wrong things in the past, but not at that time.
Are you young? Who didn’t make mistakes when they were young? Don’t think I don’t know. Dad, when you were young, you were even more of a bastard than me. Not only did you occupy people’s land, commit crimes and hurt people, but you also made several girls pregnant..."
Tang Qi said angrily: "You bastard, what did you say!"
Tang Zhao shrank back and said: "You can't blame me for these things. If they don't want to mess with the Tang family, no matter how many mistakes I make, the government will never come after the Tang family. If they want to mess with the Tang family,
, if I step out with my left foot first, they will say that I have violated the law. In the final analysis, it is you who have offended the people you should not have offended, and the main responsibility lies with you, not me..."
Tang Qi's chest rose and fell, pointing at him, and said angrily: "Get out!"
Tang Zhao looked at him and said: "Dad, we are both scholars, can you please stop being so vulgar..."
Tang Qi didn't want to look at him anymore, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Please get out, right now, right now!"
