Three years ago, the assassination case of the envoy of Chu State was eventually blamed on the Tang family, but the focus was still shifted. The Tang family gave the position of a housekeeper and the Imperial College to sacrificially drink wine, which eliminated the matter invisibly.
Just when everyone felt that this matter would end here, a memorandum from the envoy of Chu State pushed the case to a climax again and pushed the Tang family to the forefront.
Chen and Chu are friendly countries. In addition to sending envoys to communicate every year, they also have envoys in the capital.
Three years ago, the Chu envoy was assassinated, and Chu was furious. In order to appease Chu, Chen ordered a thorough investigation of the case, but it was finally lost.
Now that the old case is re-mentioned, Chen State let go of the culprit at that time, which caused great dissatisfaction among the envoys of Chu State. He handed a memorial directly to Emperor Chen, demanding strict handling of the persons involved in the case.
Chu State is the victim of this case, so he is naturally qualified to make such a request.
However, the word "strict" is very intriguing
If an ordinary person is involved in this serious case, the least the head will be put on the ground, and the worst will be the family and the family will be confiscated. Only in this way can the State of Chu be given an explanation.
The Tang family has a special identity, so it is impossible to kill the head and exterminate the clan, but it is just a symbolic exemption from Tang Qi's imperial sacrificial offering, which is too unwilling to take Chu State seriously.
It is related to the face of the country. Now it is just the envoy of Chu who handed over the letter to Emperor Chen. If the court cannot handle this matter well, the next time it is submitted, it may be Chu's letter to Chen.
A memorial from the Chu envoy shocked the court, which had just calmed down, again.
……
In the imperial study room, Emperor Chen was furious and threw the memorial to the ground, angrily saying: Now I want to explain, what have they done long ago!
The matter of the Tang family has already reached a conclusion. At this time, the envoy of Chu State handed over a memorandum and demanded severe punishment from the Tang family. Wouldn't it be that he would overturn his order?
No joke, if the emperor's orders could be overturned at will, where would the emperor's face be put?
But if it is not overthrown, it will inevitably attract dissatisfaction from the State of Chu. Compared with the interests of the emperor, it is not worth mentioning.
Emperor Chen lowered his head and picked up the memorial, sighed, and said: Those bastards in the Tang family knew to make trouble for me. Their surname is Tang, and none of them have good things...
Wei Jian walked forward, showed a wry smile on his face, and said: Your Majesty, the envoy of Chu State came forward. We must take this matter seriously, otherwise, something big will happen...
Now the threat from the grassland has temporarily disappeared, and Chen State has lost a strong enemy, but in this matter, Chu State has benefited more, the enemy has gone, and Chu State can develop better. At this time, it is obviously not a wise choice to get into evil with Chu State because of unreasonable matters.
Of course I know! Emperor Chen waved his hand and said: Summon the Prime Minister of the Dali Temple, the Minister of Justice, and the Censor-in-Chief into the palace... In addition, let that bastard come too!
Tang Family
The envoy of Chu came forward and asked the court to severely punish the Tang family. Tang Zhao hit the nail on the head, and the atmosphere of the Tang family was solemn.
The severity of this incident is completely different from before
Last time the Ministry of Justice found out that the Tang family was related to the assassination of the envoy. The Tang family bit it to death, which was a misunderstanding, so it would not hurt the bones.
But this time it's different
When it comes to states, small matters can become big things. The envoys of Chu State seized the case and refused to let go. Whether the Tang family was guilty or how serious the crime was, it no longer matters.
What is important is how to appease the envoys and satisfy the Chu State is what the court needs to consider
As for whether the Tang family will sacrifice... no one cares
The Tang family was anxiously waiting for the result. The food was already on the table, and no one took the chopsticks.
Tang Zhao looked around, sighed, picked up the chopsticks, and said while sipping rice: Eat, anyway, the Tang family has nothing to do, and the uncle's prince and young master is just a decoration. Apart from this house, the Tang family has no important things to lose. Just wait for the result. It is better to eat enough than to wait hungry than to wait...
Another courtyard in the Tang family
Since that incident twenty years ago, Tang Jing no longer cared about family affairs and did not eat with everyone on weekdays. He just guarded this yard. Except for going to the yamen every day, even the servants of the Tang family rarely saw him.
He sat at the table with a woman. There were simple meals on it. The woman took a few bites, then put down her chopsticks and asked: What will happen to the Tang family this time?
Don't know, Tang Jing shook his head and said: Your Majesty has just summoned the Prime Minister Wang and several ministers to discuss matters, and there should be a result soon
The woman looked at him and continued to ask: Will it affect you?
Don't know, Tang Jing said: I still have to wait for news from the palace
If I had known this, why should I have been there? The woman sighed and said: We should have advised them more.
Tang Jing shook his head and said: They only have the face of the family in their eyes, and they can't listen to the advice.
The woman looked sad and said: So now they have not only lost all their face, but also lost all the things they care about.
Let's have a meal. A hint of regret appeared in Tang Jing's eyes. He didn't want to mention this anymore. He picked up the chopsticks and said: If you don't eat it again, it's time to get cold.
……
The envoy of Chu rolled up the dust that had already settled. The Tang family had just left the quagmire and entered the whirlpool again.
Everyone was waiting for the result in the palace. Tang Ning received a summon from Emperor Chen at this time.
When he was about to go out, Zhong Mingli chased him out and told him: This matter is caused by you. When facing His Majesty, be careful when speaking.
Tang Ning nodded, saying that he knew
The Tang family's case will be so big, it is already in his plan, but as for Emperor Chen, he is not very worried.
If Emperor Chen cared about the Tang family, he had already protected the Tang family many times when he was walking in the six divisions, and would not have waited until now
He entered the palace under the leadership of a eunuch and came to the imperial study room. Wei Jian stood at the door and said with a smile: Your Majesty is discussing affairs with several masters. Lord Tang waited for a moment.
Wei Jian is Chen Huang's close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket. Before meeting Chen Huang, Tang Ning planned to inquire about the news from him first.
He took out an apple from his sleeve, which Qing'er stuffed to him when he left, handed it to Wei Jian, and said: Mr. Wei, please eat an apple
Wei Jian didn't refuse either. After taking it, he broke it in half and handed the other half to Tang Ning, and said with a smile: We and Lord Tang are one and half.
Tang Ning took a bite of the apple and asked: How is the situation inside?
Wei Jian shook his head and said: We don't know this either.
Your Majesty is angry? Tang Ning changed his question
Wei Jian smiled slightly and said: The matter is getting big, and even the envoys of Chu State are involved. Your Majesty is very angry, but Your Majesty also said that young people cannot hold back their breath, and they often have to come out. This is human nature...
It turns out that people eat soft-mouthed people and have short hands. With Wei Jian's words, Tang Ning felt relieved.
He bowed to Wei Jian and said: Thank you, General Wei
Wei Jiankang took a bite of the apple and said with a smile: We didn't say anything...
Tang Ning waited outside the hall for a quarter of an hour, and Wang Xiang and others walked out of the hall. Seeing that he was, they all had strange faces.
Before Tang Ning could ask, a eunuch came out of it and said: Lord Tang, Your Majesty summons you in.
Tang Ning walked into the imperial study room, Chen Huang looked at him condescendingly, and said angrily: Look at the good things you did!
Just when everyone felt that this matter would end here, a memorandum from the envoy of Chu State pushed the case to a climax again and pushed the Tang family to the forefront.
