I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

But Wei Zheng is not a fool, how dare he write about the royal family?The tacit understanding in the past is gone?

The tacit understanding in the past mentioned here actually means that Wei Zheng dares to speak out no matter what he looks at, but in fact he is very aware of Li Shimin's taboos, so he never mentions royal affairs, even if there are obvious problems.

Because he knows that most of them can give advice and be reasonable, but the royal affairs can't be reasonable at all, but there are still a lot of secret things in it, so he never touches this, even the one that he doesn't even touch. Kind of, today is his first time.

Wei Zheng saw that the whole court had stopped. He didn't explain a word, but instead opened the manuscript that he had been holding and hadn't handed it out, and read it.

But while reading it, everyone's eyes changed, they looked at Wei Zheng as if they were looking at a monster, and some people even couldn't help laughing.

Wei Zheng's article is naturally well written.But, it's funny, it's funny, Wei Zheng, who usually hates the world, this article is actually flattering.

That's right, it's an article flattering Li Shimin.

In the article, Wei Zheng first sighed and said that there are rumors in the world that His Majesty has put the Supreme Emperor under house arrest, but in fact the Supreme Emperor lives in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and is taken care of by His Majesty's righteous brother every day, eating and drinking and having fun everywhere.

Of course, the article hypocritically said that His Majesty did not do well enough, leaving the Supreme Emperor with only a few maids to take care of him, not even guards, and letting the Supreme Emperor wander around the village every day.

The whole article seems to be criticizing Li Shimin for not taking good care of his father, but in fact, these smart people in the court can see that this is to wash the ground for His Majesty.

Before, everyone was rumoring that His Majesty killed his brother and imprisoned his father, but now that the Supreme Emperor can hang out in the village outside the city, and he can also be taken care of by his righteous brother, so the rumors of the Supreme Emperor's house arrest can be broken without attacking?

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, although it was only a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, but it was still discovered by the eldest grandson Wuji who had been secretly watching Li Shimin.

But he couldn't say anything, could it be that Wei Zheng's flattery was wrong?Or can it be said that you can't clean up your majesty?

Even His Majesty was happy to hear it, and didn't say anything against it. Others have the right to say it.So, this matter is so nothing?

However, this incident has passed, and the previous incident has not yet passed. Changsun Wuji said that he wrote about the Wang family. Although he changed the topic with the matter of the emperor, it is impossible for the Wang family to ignore it. Regarding this matter, those speakers who are close to the Wang family will definitely continue to speak.

Well, instead of waiting for them to make trouble, it is better to speak up first. As an admonisher, Wei Zheng can be regarded as their patriarch when it comes to spraying people.

With their little knowledge, bullying and bullying ordinary courtiers is okay, but Wei Zheng needs to let them know what it means to be a professional troll after changing his position.

Wei Zheng saluted Li Shimin politely, then looked at Changsun Wuji and said loudly,

"Master Changsun, just now you said that I should not publish the crimes of the Wang family. This matter is not over yet. It is a fact that I want to ask Mr. Changsun for advice. Why can't it be published? Which law did you violate? ? Or is it that your eldest grandson took advantage of the Wang family and came out to speak?"

Chapter 408 Li Shimin's Backhand

Wei Zheng's words are not vicious. This nonsense is really not something ordinary people can bear. You are still accusing him of inappropriate remarks on the front foot, but he says you accept bribes from others on the back foot. You are simply a shit stick.

Of course, as long as officials are basically familiar with this kind of nonsense.

However, why so many people know this trick, it is because this trick is really easy to use!

Even though everyone knew that Changsun Wuji couldn't blatantly take advantage, he still had to explain what had to be explained. This was the rule of the officialdom.

This point, Changsun Wuji obviously also knows, although he is a bit annoyed that Wei Zheng did not follow the original routine, but what should be said still has to be said,

"My subordinate is Shangshu Zuopushe. Although it is not as rumored as the official, but the Wang family in Taiyuan is my top family in the Tang Dynasty. I should treat it with caution. If the Wang family reported in the newspaper by Mr. Wei has been blamed, no one has ever been blamed. I found out, how come you, Wei Xuancheng, found out all about it, could it be a coincidence?"

Wei Zheng knew that this was the topic of today, so he answered unhurriedly,

"This manuscript was originally delivered to my newspaper by an outsider. As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Xiaguan naturally cannot publish it casually. Therefore, these things were published after the Xiaguan checked the local mansion newspaper and files and confirmed the authenticity!"

"As for the reputation of the royal family, I'm just an admonishing doctor in the court, and a newspaper editor outside. As long as I'm worthy of your majesty and the court, and worthy of the common people, what does the reputation of the royal family have to do with me?"

This is a bit of a rogue, but it is not wrong, he Wei Zheng is not working for the Wang family, he is getting the salary of the court, and the official position given by the emperor Li Shimin, has nothing to do with the Wang family's half a dime what.

Seeing that the play has come to this point, Li Shimin knew that he was on stage, so he coughed twice and said in a deep voice,

"Wei Qing, since you have checked the records of the relevant cases of the Wang family, are you ready? I want to check it!"

Wei Zheng knew that this was the meat part, so he stopped joking and said seriously,

"Your Majesty, I am now in charge of the newspaper. Even if I am in charge for the first time, I understand the importance of this newspaper. The review of each article is carefully and repeatedly checked. I dare not let half of the mistakes and omissions be missed. This involves crimes. Naturally, it is even more important. Walking on eggshells.

So, again, all the crimes of the royal family published in the newspapers are in the box outside that the humble minister brought when he went to court! "

Li Shimin glanced at the waiter who was serving beside him, and the waiter hurried to the door of the hall and brought in a box.

Looking at this box, Wei Zheng, who was originally just acting, was really filled with righteous indignation at this time, and said through gritted teeth,

"Your Majesty, I have been a spokesperson for many years, and now His Majesty will not give up on running the newspaper on my behalf. I should use the newspaper as a paper to denounce injustice, complain about injustice, and criticize the current situation. This is worthy of His Majesty's value!"

This is not a joke, but Wei Zheng's truth, which he slowly figured out after returning home yesterday.

As an old speaker and admonisher for many years, leaving his name in history has become his obsession. He does not have the profound governing ability and political skills like Changsun Wuji, but the vision and harsh words of an old speaker for many years can be seen. always there.

So, since he is in this position, His Majesty can use this newspaper to talk about the affairs of the Taiyuan royal family, so why can't he use this newspaper as a speech to criticize the current situation in the future?

In the past, only His Majesty and courtiers heard his remonstrance, but if those remonstrances were written in newspapers and distributed, how much influence would it have?If things go on like this, he, Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng, will be famous in history!

Just because I figured all this out, since last night, the first professional current affairs commentator in history who intends to comment professionally on current affairs in the future was born!

However, Wei Zheng doesn't care what Li Shimin thinks, he just knows that now is his part!

From the servant's hands, he pretended to take the stacks of records that he had already read, and Li Shimin read and took one, and then slowly the servant handed them over at a speed that could not keep up with Li Shimin's browsing speed.

In the end, Li Shimin took the thick stack of records and threw it directly on the case table, and shouted sharply,

"Is this Wang family without Wang Fa?"

The blood spattered five steps when the man was angry, and the emperor lay down millions of corpses when he was angry. This is the first time that Li Shimin has shown such a big anger in the court since he took the throne for more than half a year.

However, even if everyone knew that Li Shimin was very angry now, those members of the Wang family still had to bite the bullet and explain, especially since there were a few of them who were direct descendants of the Wang family.

"Your Majesty, the Wang family has such a large family business, it is inevitable that there will be a few young people, and I hope that Your Majesty will be merciful, and the Wang family will find out those young people who are escorted to the Yamen as soon as possible!"

A member of the Wang family couldn't take it anymore, so he hurried out to explain!

But before he could continue talking, a rather young servant rushed to the gate of the hall and shouted loudly,

"Your Majesty, a large number of students gathered at the gate of the palace, shouting for the destruction of the royal family and the anger of the common people. Many people also joined in. According to the gatekeeper, there are still many people on the way. I hope your Majesty will make a decision!"

No one spoke now, obviously shocked by the news, and also shocked by the power of the newspaper!

How long has it been since the Wang family's notoriety has spread to the students and common people, and they have already gathered at the gate of the palace to petition.

You know, it's easy for students to mobilize. They are all impulsive young students, and they can mobilize a group of two, two, four, and four as long as they are lightly stirred up.

But it is easy for students, but it is not easy for ordinary people. Now even ordinary people are rushing up, which is obviously due to the credit of the newspaper.

At this time, all the courtiers in the court hall were secretly watching Wei Zheng and sucking in the air. It seemed that Wei Xuancheng had really found a good seat. The newspaper was so shocking.

Li Shimin also frowned at this time. The matter of the students was naturally arranged by him secretly, but he did not make the people. After all, everyone knows that as long as the public opinion boils, big things will happen. He is full. To incite public opinion.

But now that even the common people are gathered, it is obviously because of the newspaper. It seems that the newspaper is more powerful than I imagined!

However, it is clear that this drama still needs to be brought to an end now!

"Auxiliary machine, you take the lead, lead the Dali Temple and the imperial army, and search the Wang family. In addition, Du Qing, you go to Taiyuan and send half guards to accompany you. The Wang family in Taiyuan has committed a lot of crimes, and put down the rebellion!"

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui hurried out to receive the order!

Chapter 409 The Destruction of the Taiyuan Royal Family

The few close disciples of the Wang family are already ashen-faced at this moment, it's over, it's over!

They have nothing to say, everything is over, because they have heard Li Shimin's words just now, the crime is deep and the rebellion...

The last person who received such an order was Luo Yi!

Not to mention the pile of criminal evidence that has been piled up in the court, just these two confidantes of Li Shimin came out, and they are all ministers of extremely human ministers, even if there is no criminal evidence, they will give you a solid proof.

Even though these two are civil servants, they are all decisive in killing and attacking. Since it is to suppress rebellion and ransack the house, they will never let anyone go.

Such a big Wang family is gone just like that!

Although Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui had just received the decree, everyone knew that the Wang family was just history!

No matter how powerful the aristocratic family is, it is only useful when both parties respect the rules, but when Li Shimin uses means to make himself unruly, then the aristocratic family is really a big deal apart from being incompetent!

However, the courtiers in the court knew that the Wang family was over, but at this time everyone in the Wang family's mansion was still living their little days leisurely.

It's not that they didn't hear the voices coming from outside the wall.However, from Wang Jishan to the servants, every member of the Wang family scoffed at him and didn't pay attention at all.

Just kidding, if the students and common people shout a few times, their Wang family will be finished, let alone the Wang family, any family of the five surnames and Qiwang will not survive today.

Wang Jishan sat in the study, casually flipping through a miscellaneous journal at hand, completely dismissive of the faint shouts coming from outside the window.

In his opinion, what he needs to wait for now is the result of wrestling with Li Shimin today, and he needs to know what will happen to Wei Zheng, instead of thinking about those assholes.

As a powerful family for many generations, the Taiyuan Wang family has its own strength of character, how could it be possible to be alarmed by such a trivial matter?

But it didn't take long for Wang Jishan to be safe, a young servant rushed into the study, ignoring Wang Jishan's cannibalistic eyes, and shouted in horror,

"Master, the eldest grandson Wuji brought the imperial army to ransack the house!"

Changsun Wuji and copying the house, these two words instantly extinguished the evil fire that had arisen from being disturbed just now, and made his heart feel cold, and the book in his hand fell unconsciously .

He turned his head and looked out the window numbly. Groups of soldiers in armor were wielding their weapons like they were catching chickens, but there were still faint shouts of destroying the royal family and civilians' anger in the distance.

At this moment, the angry roar that he didn't like at first was so piercing, he clearly knew that at this moment, the big Wang family is over!

At this moment, whether he hates or regrets, it is useless. Since Li Shimin has put all the people who ransacked his home into his home, it proves that the time has come to truly divide life and death. It's the dead one.

Thinking that the family that has been passed down for thousands of years will finally end in the hands of himself, the patriarch, Wang Jishan felt a tightness in his chest, and then he couldn't hold back a mouthful of sweet blood anymore, and spurted it out in one gulp.

The boy who just rushed in was sweating profusely at this time, and there were already forbidden soldiers knocking on the door, he knew that this time the Wang family was really doomed!

It's just why, a moment and a half ago, the Wang family was still that glamorous and top-notch family, why was it about to be ransacked all of a sudden, what happened!

No one would answer his question, even Wang Jishan was still pondering over this question, but the surging forbidden army would never give them such a chance, they rushed forward and captured the two of them.

At this moment, there is no distinction between the head of the family and the servants. The entire Wang family is being driven here one after another, crying, cursing, begging for mercy, all kinds of voices are mixed together, which is particularly scary.

Wang Jishan didn't make a sound, just stood there in a daze and looked at everything in front of him!

It was defeated, and it was completely defeated!

At this moment, he was very confused, why did Li Shimin dare to attack his Wang family?Isn't he afraid of being cast aside by the world?

Isn't Li Shimin afraid of problems in the court?

Isn't Li Shimin afraid of being chilled by other aristocratic families?

Is it...

In any case, the story of the Wang family has ended here, and there is no room for an old man to think about the ending, because the ending has already been written by Li Shimin!

It was already night when Zhang Nuo heard the news, and the delivery convoy going to the city during the day would bring some new things in Chang'an City every day.

And the biggest new thing today is naturally that the huge Taiyuan Wang family was ransacked.

As a person in Zhuangzi, of course I know that the Wang family who fought with Zhuangzili some time ago, to everyone in Zhuangzi, that Wang family is a deadly enemy, that is a life-and-death enemy, and now that family is directly wiped out by His Majesty Why are you unhappy?

Lao Fang would chat with these men who were transporting goods every day, and learn about the big and new things in the lower city. Today, after learning about this, he ran home as soon as possible and quickly informed Zhang Nuo.

After Zhang Nuo listened, he was not surprised at all. After all, he had already read the newspaper, and everything in it was written according to the idea of ​​the manuscript he arranged. Arguing with the Wang family about crimes and the like, they ransacked the family and wiped out the family directly by relying on public opinion and a lot of crimes.

This is a real ruthless person!

However, Zhang Nuo always felt that this method of using other people's hands to get revenge like a mastermind behind the scenes, why is it not enjoyable?

He is still used to the straight-forward pattern of fighting when there is a grudge, and using a knife when there is a grudge. This inattentiveness has become a behind-the-scenes manipulator stirring up the situation and killing people invisible. Lee.

Zhang Nuo also figured it out. If there is any enmity in the future, it is better not to follow Lao Li's way of being so shady. If there are not many people, go there by yourself, and if there are many people, bring people from the village together.

Anyway, he has made up his mind and will never engage in such calculations or anything else. His so-called calculations are at most at the stage of lip service, and without the cooperation of Li Shimin and others, he is a king of mouth.

Therefore, it is better to greet people directly with a knife in the future. For things like scheming people, leave it to Lao Li and the eldest grandson Fox in the future. Jin and his gang of military generals hang out for a while and forget it.

After all, they are all straight-hearted generals, so they lack a little crooked thinking, don't they?

Chapter 410

Just as Zhang Nuo was thinking about how to deal with the next opponent who hadn't appeared yet, Xing Ben suddenly led a middle-aged man over with a sore face.

Zhang Nuo frowned and looked at the person who came, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out who this person was.

Just looking at the clothes, silk and satin are very luxurious, at least they come from a rich family, but judging by the lean appearance, the whole set of clothes dangles like a sack on the body, which is indescribably weird.

However, Zhang Nuo also knew that the person who was brought over by Xingben at such a late hour must have something to do with him, but who could have something to do with a salty fish like him?

"Master Xiao Zhang is well. Wang Gui, who is in charge of the Chang'an City Company in Taiyuan Wang, has no choice but to visit late at night. Please turn your screen back, I have important matters to discuss with you!"

Looking at the pointing tone of the man in front of him with a little arrogance, Zhang Nuo immediately frowned. What do you mean?

Wasn't the Wang family in Taiyuan ransacked by Lao Li? Did the person who came to discuss with him slip through the net or a fake product?

However, no matter what his identity is, Zhang Nuo doesn't want to pick him up just because of the way he looks at people with his nostrils!
