Chapter 611: Who allowed my father-in-law to have so many people?
The dust settled on the Wang family's side, and Gao Ting, who had no choice but to insist, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Wang family fell!
What else does he have to worry about - well, what else does he have to consider? After this period of careful investigation, all cases involving the Wang family have been proven solid.
Through the confessions of Bai Gu and Guo Sandao and others from the west side of the city, as well as the subsequent identification of people who were secretly sent to various salt fields and iron mines of the Wang family, it was verified one by one. It has become irrefutable evidence that the Wang family participated in human trafficking.
The evidence that the royal guards interfered with the market and arbitrarily seized the property of other merchants was sent personally by the emperor, and it is irrefutable.
Therefore, the Wang family was in shock, and Gao Ting received another heavy blow.
All the Wang family members involved in the case were uprooted, and a large number of bees were taken away.
This made the Wang family's already difficult situation even worse.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
The fall of the Wang family inevitably caused a series of chain reactions. People who were intimidated by the Wang family's prestige in the past, suffered losses at the hands of the Wang family, were deceived, or were forced to have their families destroyed, have come forward one after another.
He was well-known throughout Chang'an, and his arrogant and awe-inspiring qualities made Gao Ting's Yamen complain. Before the Wannian County Yamen, there was an endless stream of people accusing the Wang family of crimes.
Of course, there are many people who would take this opportunity to suppress and seize the remaining property of the Wang family.
As the first mouthpiece of the Tang Dynasty, Datang Evening News was sought after and trusted by thousands of people. Naturally, it spared no effort to carry out detailed and faithful reports and disclosures. In the past, the Wang family, which was clear, far-reaching and unattainable, completely stinked the streets. In the past,
People who have old ties with the Wang family have also drawn clear boundaries with the Wang family.
He even spat.
The current head of the family, Wang Gui, turned gray almost overnight.
Since then, the Wang family has completely restrained all its minions, and all the descendants of the clan, under the leadership of the family leader Wang Gui, returned to their hometown of Taiyuan and resumed their life of farming, studying and passing down the family line.
This turmoil was fatal to the Wang family, but to the entire Tang Dynasty, it was just a bigger wave. It soon became a topic of conversation after dinner, was gradually forgotten, and was replaced by new topics of conversation.
.
After the fall of the Wang family, the most popular events were two major events.
First, a high-yielding crop that has been personally verified by His Majesty, the Prime Minister of the DPRK and China, and all the ministers of the DPRK and China—the auspicious potato with a yield of twenty or thirty dan per mu, makes its grand debut.
For a time, the whole world was in an uproar.
Many people rushed to tell each other.
Then, for some unknown reason, the public opinion slowly turned to His Majesty, who has inherited the destiny of Heaven, the Holy Ming and the Divine Martial Arts, and is therefore blessed with auspiciousness from God.
As the master and disciple of Yun Xuzi who brought potatoes back from the fairy mountains overseas, somehow he became the envoy to flatter the divine object and became a supporting role in this news. Of course, even a supporting role also attracted a wave of popularity.
On February 3rd, when the Yingxiangguan Taoist Temple opened, pilgrims gathered.
People looked in awe at the statue of E Guan Bo Dai, Xian Feng Dao Bone, and holding potatoes in front of the main hall of Yingxiang Temple.
Looking again, master and disciple Yun Xuzi, who has a childish face and white hair, appears as an outsider in the world, and is naturally even more in awe.
What's more, this Yingxiang Temple carries the power of welcoming potatoes and has a plaque personally given by His Majesty. Naturally, its momentum is unparalleled. Even many people who originally planned to come to seek advice on Taoism have a somewhat humble and respectful attitude.
But this news was soon replaced by another shocking news.
Prince An, the 21-year-old Prince of Founding County of the Tang Dynasty, is about to marry two princesses of the Tang Dynasty at the same time.
Princess Yuzhang and Princess Lin'an!
Ordinary people don't care about ancestral etiquette, let alone whether this thing is reasonable. What they like to hear most is this kind of folk legend story.
It sounds as exciting as the plot in a teahouse storyteller or opera.
What's more, the protagonist in the story is the Marquis of Chang'an who is incomparably handsome, kind-hearted, and extremely talented?
Therefore, for a time, the color of talents, beauties, and the king's love was exaggerated to the extreme.
In the palace, when Li Shimin, who was preparing the dowry for his daughter, heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He didn't expect that the fact that he had to bear countless pressures to marry a daughter unexpectedly spread to the people. Not only did it not damage the majesty of the royal family, but it also added to himself.
A reputation for cherishing talents, appreciating talents, and reusing talents.
However, he smiled and put this matter aside. The most important thing, of course, was the important matter of marrying his daughter tomorrow.
The two princesses got married at the same time, so naturally they couldn't start from both sides.
Otherwise, which house will Prince An, the twin consorts, go to first to pick up the bride?
Therefore, in the imperial study room, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and argued for a long time, but to no avail.
The two rightful masters have not reached a conclusion, and several officials from the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple naturally do not dare to take this idea, but if they do not make up their mind, what can they do?
The princess is getting married tomorrow. I can't decide where to go first. Are you kidding me?
Cheng Yaojin stared at Li Shimin confidently.
"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhang is already a head above my Ying'er in all aspects. Isn't it reasonable and reasonable for you, the elder, to let our Ying'er take care of such a small matter as getting married?
?”
Li Shimin:......
How reasonable!
Is this a question of whether I give in or not?
This bitch is always messy and messy.
But this is a private matter between two old fathers who are about to marry their daughter. It is reasonable for Cheng Yaojin, an old man, to argue with him, so he also has a headache.
"How about we ask Zian?"
Li Shimin slapped his forehead and simply kicked the ball to Wang Zi'an.
Cheng Yaojin thought about it, it would work!
Anyway, two people can't argue with each other.
…
Wang Zi'an's reaction was so crisp that the two of them were stunned.
"What's there to argue about? Do you think you two can still talk about this marriage?"
Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin:......
Wang Zi'an glanced at them angrily.
"Have you two forgotten something? My two daughters-in-law, your precious daughters, are now princesses - does the princess know? They are now His Majesty's daughters, so, according to the rules,
Even though you two are both close to your father-in-law, you still have to stand in the back row. Your Majesty, you are the real father-in-law——"
Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin:!!!!!!
Looking at the two stunned father-in-laws, Wang Zi'an felt amused and raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at them.
"Do you think, how big a fight His Majesty has made for this wedding? Even the Ministry of Etiquette has been mobilized. Do you think His Majesty will allow the two princesses to marry from your family? I estimate that there is a high probability that he will.
She is marrying directly from the palace - there is no way, who allowed my father-in-law to have so many people?"
