Chapter 415 I have to say no

The initially lively atmosphere suddenly subsided, and everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Shangzheng.

This is someone's wedding day. Even if you are the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, you can't say such a thing.

Only a small group of people saw some signs in advance but had no reaction.

Dong Yiwu and Yu Xingye looked at each other slightly, smiling without any trace, and the show was about to begin!

"Master Cao, this is the wedding day. Since you are here, isn't it inappropriate to say this?"

Li Jitong said in a deep voice.

"It's precisely because it's inappropriate that I'm going to say it!"

Cao Shangzheng flicked his sleeves and said he was upright and determined. The left minister of the Ministry of Rites was also a third-rank official, so he didn't care about Li Jitong.

"I wonder, Mr. Cao, do you have any corrections?"

Wang Dingchang paused and asked, "What do you think is wrong with my son's wedding?"

"Violates etiquette,"

Cao Shangzheng said directly: "There are three violations of etiquette!"

As soon as these words fell, everyone understood that this gentleman was here to cause trouble. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the world's etiquette, sacrifices and tributes!

If someone else had said it, it might not be valid, but as the Minister of Rites, what he said is naturally authoritative!

"It is natural to divide wives and concubines, and even the king chooses a concubine, but the son of Uncle Fuyang marries two wives at the same time. This is against etiquette and is simply a mess!"

"Secondly, as far as I know, among Wang Kang's wives, one of them was born in Liyuan Yage, and first lived in Zuixianju in Yangzhou City. With such a background, how can it be considered correct if someone from such a background can enter the noble family!"

"Thirdly, she is the one who takes a wife..."

Cao Shangzheng recounted them one by one, listed them in categories, and finally said: "Ritual is the foundation of the country and the foundation of the country. But Fuyang Bo, as a nobleman personally granted by Emperor Zhao, his own son, violated the etiquette like this."

"In the past, it violated the etiquette and law in the novel, and in the worst case, it disturbed the order of the court. How can it be that all these things are not inappropriate?"

This last sentence is extremely heavy and is simply a big slap in the face.

It makes the ears of others buzzing and directly drives away the original joy!

"Master Cao, are you exaggerating?" Li Jitong said.

"I am the Minister of Rites, and I know better than Mr. Li in this regard!"

After Cao Shang finished speaking, he looked directly at Wang Dingchang and said in a deep voice: "How do you explain these Fuyang uncles?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Wang Dingchang laughed suddenly. After laughing, he loudly said: "What explanation can I give you? What explanation should I give you for my son's marriage?"

"Master Cao, anyone who comes is a guest..."

"Uncle Fuyang, please don't make a mistake."

Cao Shangzheng said very forcefully: "Etiquette is the law. Violating etiquette is breaking the law. You have to think clearly!"

Wang Dingchang's eyes narrowed slightly. This matter was indeed a bit tricky. If it were someone else, he could ignore it, but Cao Shangzheng couldn't.

He is the Minister of Rites and has the most say in this regard.

In ancient times, etiquette was particularly important, and violating etiquette was a taboo. Even the king dared to give advice, let alone him.

I have to say that this move is indeed tricky, because what Cao Shangzheng said is true.

Dong Yiwu said with a sarcastic face: "Li Qingman, one of Wang Kang's wives, has no father or mother, her origin is unknown, and she was born in Liyuan..."

"Uncle Fuyang, it's too much for a woman like this to enter the house. Wang Kang is young and doesn't understand. Don't you understand too?"

Yu Xingye also said: "Haha, Master Kang is probably obsessed with beauty. Who in this Yangzhou City doesn't know the story of Master Kang and the oiran wandering into the alley late at night?"

For a time, sarcasm spread everywhere, and now, even ordinary people who were originally unaware have seen the clues!

This was obviously premeditated, just to come out during the wedding.

Li Qingman lowered her head unnaturally. It was obvious that she had become the target of others' attacks on Wang Kang.

But Yun Yan, who was beside her, looked increasingly cold.

Wang Kang watched the performance of several people coldly. His previous prediction was indeed correct...

He looked at Cao Shangzheng and said, "I wonder if Mr. Cao is doing this for public or private reasons?"

Cao Shangzheng hesitated for a moment, then said: "Of course it is for the public good."

For the public? Wang Kang couldn't help but sneer,

You came from Kyoto and you have nothing to do. Do you really think that everyone else is a fool when you come here to make trouble like this?

However, this move is indeed quite good. I invited the Minister of Rites to do it.

Thinking about it, Wang Kang sarcastically said: "What do you think, Mr. Cao? According to what you say, am I still not married?"

Cao Shangzheng said, "Just get married."

"Ha ha!"

Wang Kang suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at you for being an official. You are a fool."

Wang Kang said directly.

"Shuzi is talking nonsense. Mr. Cao is the Minister of Rites. You are so disrespectful. How dare you do the following!" Dong Yiwu stood up and shouted.

Even the people around him were shocked by Wang Kang's words.

This is really audacious!

"What? As the minister of etiquette, you can insult my wife and disturb my wedding on my wedding day? Is this etiquette?"

Wang Kang stood up directly and said in a cold voice: "Anyone who comes is a guest. If you come with congratulations, I will naturally treat you with courtesy. If you come with different intentions, I'm sorry..."

He stared directly at Cao Shangzheng, "If you serve the public wholeheartedly, I will respect you three points, but you know whether you serve the public or privately."

"This is my marriage, I have the final say!"

Wang Kang's words resounded, and everyone was immediately shocked.

No one expected that he would suddenly say something violent. You must know that he was facing a third-grade official!

"Uncle Fuyang, is this the good son you taught?" Cao Shangzheng didn't seem angry and faced Wang Dingchang.

"I taught you," Wang Dingchang took a deep breath, "because these are what I want to say too!"

The domineering nature of father and son is exactly the same, shocking everyone.

Cao Shangzheng shook his head, "I have long heard that Uncle Fuyang loved his son very much and spoiled him to become a prodigal. When I saw him today, I really learned a lot!"

He looked at Wang Kang and said, "Shuzi, I will treat it as nonsense. You just need to admit your mistake and get married, and I will treat it as nothing happened."

Dong Yiwu said: "Yes, it's not worth it to do something against etiquette for an unclear and low-status woman!"

This was what they had decided before. The first step was to make Wang Kang bow his head and cancel his originally grand wedding...

"What if...I have to say no!" Wang Kang's eyes flashed coldly.

"Then I will..."

Before Cao Shangzheng finished speaking, a voice came in at this moment.

"Who said that Li Qingman's identity is unknown? Today, I will adopt her as my adopted daughter. Let's see who dares to say otherwise!"

Hearing this sound, everyone looked outside and saw a graceful and luxurious lady walking in.

This lady was wearing gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. She was supported by several graceful maids around her. Wang Kang's eyes narrowed.

There was another person beside the lady. Although she was dressed as a maid, Wang Kang recognized her at a glance.

She is none other than the martial arts master next to Zhang Xianxian, Qing Yi!
