Wang Zi'an patted the ground and left, preparing to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, but there was an explosion in Chang'an City.
The news that the head of the Taiyuan Wang family was forced to commit suicide on the spot was like a thunderbolt, causing an uproar in the public opinion of both the government and the public. Countless family members, dignitaries, and even some military lieutenants wrote letters demanding severe punishment for the murderer!
Scholar-bureaucrats cannot be insulted!
Gao Ting thanked guests behind closed doors at home, and the door was tightly closed.
But even so, there were still countless angry people blocking the door and yelling.
Gao Ting's whole family was terrified. His wife and several children hid in the house and did not dare to come out to see anyone. On the contrary, Gao Ting seemed to have accepted his fate. Although he didn't go out, he did whatever he should do at home.
Do things impartially and stand up for the emperor.
Besides, Gao Shilian was there to support him, so he couldn't deserve the death penalty.
Moreover, even if he was thrown out by the emperor to take the blame, he would still admit it!
The reputation of Qiang Xiang Ling is enough to make him famous in history.
I have also earned enough capital for my children, so I won’t lose money!
However, all the twists and turns only resulted in Li Shimin's light words.
"Gao Ting behaved inappropriately and was demoted one level and fined one year's salary. However, he is dedicated to serving the country and can do things effectively. He continues to act as the magistrate of Wannian County and presides over the human trafficking case in the west of the city. He has made meritorious service for his crime——"
As for Wang Yan, not a word was mentioned!
Li Shimin's support was both unexpected and reasonable.
If Li Shimin really gave in to everyone's calls and threw Gao Ting out to take the blame, then he would not be the decisive Li Shimin.
But understanding is understanding, and struggle is struggle.
The memorials appealing to Wang Yan came even more crazily, flying to Li Shimin's desk like snowflakes.
At the same time, there were countless memorials seeking to seek the title of Wang Yan.
According to the usual practice, once the head of an aristocratic family with the five surnames and Qiwang dies, the court must have a posthumous title of Duke.
However, this time, when the memorial went up, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, without causing any waves.
Many people have smelled something unusual from Li Shimin's abnormal behavior.
Many people quietly stopped.
After all, the Li Shimin now is no longer the Li Shimin six months ago.
Not only did he wipe out Mobei in one fell swoop and capture Jieli Khan alive, but during this period, after the food crisis and the salt crisis, his reputation has risen again and again, and now he has become synonymous with Mingjun in the hearts of the people!
At this time, many things are no longer what I thought.
But many things are not whether you want to fight or not, but that you must fight.
The one who started making figurines has no descendants!
If even the dignified head of the Wang family could be ignored if he was forced to death on the spot, who would look at these famous and century-old families seriously in the future?
Therefore, the Shilin News on the second day changed from the gentle and elegant articles of scholar-bureaucrats in the past. Almost the entire newspaper was devoted to reporting on Wang Yan's death.
Some reviewed the achievements of the Wang family in the past, some praised Wang Yan's character, and most of them scolded Gao Ting for misinterpreting his superior's intentions, being a treacherous and shameless person, being a cruel official in the government, inciting the people, and killing the talented.
However, they seem to have forgotten that they are not the only newspaper in Datang.
There is also the Datang Evening News, which is ten times more popular than them, and its circulation is more than ten times greater than theirs. Although they were bleeding profusely that day, they had people take Shilin News and send it all the way down the street as if it was free of charge. They even used the business channels in their hands to send it directly to all parts of the country for free.
But that still doesn’t change the fact that Datang Evening News is wildly popular.
This time, Datang Evening News changed from the slightly inflammatory language in the past, and instead conducted rigorous research. The matters of Wang Yan's suicide and salt poisoning were written clearly and clearly. The human trafficking case not only described in detail the tragic situation in Chengxi Villa, but also listed the tragic experiences of other trafficked people.
Not to mention anything else, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yuan has personally presided over the trafficking and abduction of hundreds of people. Some of these people were sold into brothels, and some were sold into wealthy houses to serve as slaves. However, More people were dragged into their own salt and iron mines by the Wang family.
The rescued people were all as skinny as wood, with dull eyes, like zombies.
Even so, the remaining people are already out of ten!
The pits of Wangjia Salt Mine and Iron Mine are filled with white bones.
Finally, a confession with Wang Yuan's signature was attached, announcing the key information in the account book. Every blood debt is clearly pointed at Wang Yan.
Subsequently, the newspaper also published a detailed report on yesterday's salt poisoning case.
The same clear confession, the same signatures, and the same conclusive evidence.
The most puzzling thing is that everyone suddenly discovered that the person in charge of the poisonous salt incident was still the steward of the Wang family.
Although the article does not explicitly say that there is a relationship with Wang Yan, the meaning is self-evident.
What frightened those who were concerned the most was that the current Supreme Emperor Li Yuan suddenly disclosed his identity as a consultant to the Tang Evening News.
The time and node chosen are intriguing.
Therefore, the entire city of Chang'an suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere.
As for ordinary people, they naturally have the time to eat, drink, and have fun. They have the same family reunions, the same purchase of new year's goods, and the same joy.
On the Wang family's side in Taiyuan, the white silk ribbon hangs high.
The filial son of the Wang family built a long mourning hall and set up a flowing banquet.
Although it still looks lively and crowded, those who are interested will find that many people are just joining in the fun, and some important figures have quietly disappeared. Some have sent their own juniors, and some have simply not visited.
On the contrary, Li Shimin, who had been silent for many days, sent the current prince Li Chengqian to visit in person to express condolences and was awarded a posthumous title of Wen Zheng.
Several prime ministers also came to express their condolences in person.
The originally tense atmosphere in the Wang family suddenly subsided a bit.
Many people also speculated on Li Shimin's intentions.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Wang Zi'an.
He took the newspaper, glanced at it, and threw it away.
Even if he has traveled through time and has the knowledge of later generations, he is still not a qualified politician. After all, in his previous life, he was just a team leader. How could he understand this?
The rest of these games have nothing to do with you.
Do you have the energy to spend time with Miss Su Su and spend time together, making love to each other?
A beautiful woman of this caliber would never have been dreamed of in her previous life. She would have been just staring at her through the screen.
Nowadays, I am like a flower explaining words, getting everything and asking for it. Isn’t this boy going to be beautiful in his day?
Worrying about those crappy things is a waste of life.
On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, send the Stove Lord to heaven.
Although this day is the New Year, to be honest, I have never seen anyone celebrate this festival in my previous life. Not to mention myself, at this time, I am still working overtime at work to get good luck. Who cares whether you are the king of the kitchen or not?
Li Shimin left his address for himself, and he had all the gifts ready. He originally planned to deliver New Year's gifts to his door on this day, but when he arrived in Datang, he found that everyone seemed to take this festival more seriously.
Early in the morning, the old butler Gu Zhong made arrangements for the kitchen to cook sticky cakes, and solemnly blocked the Stove Lord's mouth. Seeing the old housekeeper busy with joy and joy, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be interested, and Miss Su Su, who had the same novel look on her face, looked at her like a curious baby.
In the end, he decided to follow the local customs and experience this festival of the Tang Dynasty. In other words, although there were festivals in the previous life, they have been almost forgotten. As for giving gifts to his father-in-law - he will postpone it to one day.
Without going anywhere, I took Miss Su Su and Xue Rengui to make dumplings together.
The stuffing prepared by Wang Zi'an himself.
There are leeks and pork, carrots and mutton, and a pot of venison and green onions.
Nowadays, unlike in the past, I can finally eat delicacies such as venison with confidence and boldness!
Think about it, it’s really not easy——
