Chapter 208 If You Want To Die, Don't Pull Me With You
"Do you say the rumors are true?"
"What's true or false, what do you want to say!"
"Oh, it's just rumored that the eldest daughter of An Guohou County Lord Jinyuan is actually the daughter of the former crown prince and the former crown prince's concubine. An Guohou is just helping the former crown prince raise his daughter."
"You can't say this nonsense. Even if it is true, you should treat it as fake. Otherwise, if this is heard by An Guohou, be careful that your life is not guaranteed, do you know?"
"I understand these myself. I'm not curious! You said, "Your Majesty, why did An Guohou say that, otherwise why would he let..."
Before this person could finish his words, his companion covered his mouth and looked around. Seeing that no one paid attention to them, he lowered his head and whispered to his companion, "You dare to say this, you don't see where this is. If you want to die, don't hold me. You are so unrestrained. From now on, we should not contact you. I'll treat you to this, so please do it yourself!"
After saying that, the scholar got up and paid for the meal, and then left without looking back.
His companions were not able to react yet and were watching him leave blankly.
At this time, the reprimanded scholar reacted and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly got up and left.
At the same time, he was also regretting that he had no restraint on his words just now.
In fact, what the scholar discussed was nothing but something that many people found puzzled.
After all, if she is a widow, even if she is a princess, it is something that many men cannot accept, unless this man does not have the ability.
But obviously Wang Xuan is not listed here. Not to mention anything else, just being able to run a royal restaurant well is enough to prove that Wang Xuan is very capable, let alone Wang Xuan's ability is more than that.
But such a capable man not only took a widow princess, but also married the princess of former crown prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's princess, and the former crown princess was still married to Wang Xuan while pregnant.
This is what men cannot bear the most, and Wang Xuan has caught up with it. It cannot be blamed, as these people are curious.
As for why they said they married Zheng Guanyin and Yang Yun instead of taking concubines, it is not because Zheng Guanyin and Yang Yun both have titles.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, women with titles were usually the men's wife.
You should know that in ancient times, except for the emperor who had five wives, no matter who he was, there could only be one wife. Even if he was the emperor's wife, he would be the queen as the wife and the concubine as the wife.
So it was rare for Wang Xuan to have four wives at that time, and many people thought that Wang Xuan took the blame for Li Shimin, so this was such a reward.
What is even more outrageous is that there are rumors that Wang Xuan was just introduced by Li Shimin to block the arrow. In fact, Li Xin and the others are all women of Li Shimin. It’s just that this is too ruthless and unconventional, so they made such an arrangement.
Moreover, these people also found the so-called evidence, that is, after Li Xin married Wang Xuan, Li Shimin often left the palace to Wang Xuan.
Anyway, it's just a sentence, it's all about maliciously vilifying the royal family.
Li Shimin also asked Ye Wei to arrest some people, but in the end it was very effective. In addition, Wang Xuan and Li Shimin said, why bother to care about these things, and it would be left alone in the end.
The reason for this result is due to the inherent thinking of the ancient people.
Of course, after Wang Xuan advised Li Shimin to ignore it, he taught those who were gossiping hard in his own way.
As for Wang Xuan's method, it was very simple. He was to use him to open restaurants in Chang'an. As long as someone dared to tell this in the restaurant, the manager of the restaurant would take someone up and beat him.
Anyway, just one sentence, who dares to gossip and let the people from Anguo Hou’s Mansion hear it. No matter who you are, you will be beaten first.
Among them, a fourth-rank official talked about this with alcohol. That good guy, the official was beaten and threw it out of the restaurant.
In the end, the official was still dissatisfied and sued the imperial court when he was injured and went to court. However, Wang Xuan did not come forward in the end. He was first dismissed by Li Shimin and investigated, and then was then beaten by Cheng Yaojin, who brought Changsun Wuji and others.
Only then did no one in the people talk about this matter privately.
So when the scholar discussed this just now, his companions reacted so much that they even broke up with him.
This is completely caused by Wang Xuan’s failure to play cards according to common sense.
You said that this is a gossip about the marquis, this is a small thing to be beaten, this is a big deal! After all, with the fourth-rank official as a guide, who would dare to gossip around?
This is not possible, so it is OK to discuss it secretly! But this is not possible! Because Wang Xuan made up the matter, as long as anyone reported it, he could eat in the Royal Restaurant for three consecutive days, and it was the best meal.
At that time, many people were directly reported by their relatives and friends. The person who reported this was really a big fight for three days, and the person who was reported was beaten and did not cause any death. In addition, there were people above, who dared to discuss this in private.
And in addition to this, Wang Xuan also sent people to spread various scandals from aristocratic families around Chang'an City every few days to divert attention.
Over time, naturally, few people are talking about Wang Xuan’s family affairs. After all, the various scandals of that aristocratic family are more interesting, right?
But Wang Xuan's actions made the powerful people in the entire Chang'an City panic. In the end, the aristocratic families begged for mercy like Li Shimin and paid a considerable price, which resulted in Wang Xuan's stopping.
This is why the Zheng family asked Zheng Guanyin to plead with his father and asked Wang Xuan to take them to make a fortune together.
But the lesson that time was obviously not profound enough. They were so mean to be pleaded like giving alms. It would be strange if Wang Xuan could agree.
After all, in Wang Xuan's opinion, the aristocratic family is nothing but something that cannot be put on the table. The thing they rely on for survival is not a problem in Wang Xuan's current layout. Now that Wang Xuan has not moved the aristocratic family, he feels that the time is not yet ripe.
After all, this lean camel is bigger than a horse. If you really force the aristocratic family to become anxious and make this great situation turbulent, isn’t the people who suffer?
Anyway, the longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it will be for Wang Xuan and Li Shimin. They are still eager to delay the longer the time, the better.
When the end is delayed, even if the aristocratic family wants to make a desperate battle, they will find that the world has long become different from what they believe.
Compared with the economy, Wang Xuan's existence, they cannot compare with talents. With the emergence and prosperity of movable type printing technology, and the emergence of the academy supported by Wang Xuan, they still cannot compare with the public opinion. Compared with them, Wang Xuan knows how to play and has no bottom line.
Compared to Dayi, Li Shimin is the heaven, and their aristocratic family still has no chance. Compared to martial arts, they are still not the same as their little servants who are secretly hiding.
