Mrs. Tang was also worried at first. She could neither let go of her husband nor her children. But when Tang He asked this question, she touched her chin thoughtfully and said, "What she said is right."
Tang He's eyes lit up and he immediately held her hand and said, "So you want to go out with me?"
Mrs. Tang said: "It depends on where you go. If you have old friends, I might be able to take the opportunity to visit them."
The two of them suddenly stopped worrying. Mr. Old Tang had never taken this matter to heart. Didn't he also take Tang He with him when he toured the world on behalf of the Ministry of Punishment?
Tang He was only in his teens at the time, and he could take care of him well at that time. Can the couple take care of their two children now?
So he said to Tang He: "You guys are not as open-minded as Zhou Man. Your wife and children can go if they want to go, but they can't go if they don't want to go. Why worry so much? Not to mention going out, there is still the risk of choking on drinking water at home.
, don’t they even drink water?”
He said: "I've asked people to pack your luggage. Everything is convenient for traveling. If you want to patrol, start from the nearest place and bring the whole family with you."
Tang He: "...Dad, you are indeed right."
Mr. Old Tang snorted and scolded him not too harshly, "I heard that you have been wandering around with nothing to do these days. When you were really bored, you went to take out some unbreakable files in Dali Temple and read the suspenseful ones.
Make a note of it, and I will patrol the world in the future. If I can find a way to solve it, maybe those high-hanging cases will be solved."
Tang He lowered his head and responded, "Yes."
Mr. Old Tang waved his hand, "Go ahead, don't be lazy again tomorrow."
Tang He did not leave, but came closer and asked in a lowered voice: "Dad, there are some rumors outside that you knew the candidate for left prime minister from Zhou Man in advance, so..."
He paused, stared at Old Tang and asked seriously, "Dad, are the rumors true?"
Mr. Old Tang said truthfully: "I asked Zhou Man, but she didn't say a word."
Tang He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that his father's attitude and words were wrong, so he didn't say a word instead of rejecting it directly.
But there are too many things that can be understood without saying them.
Tang He suddenly understood and squeezed to his father's side, squeezing on the same couch with him, "Dad, because of this, you spoke for her and promoted the Imperial Medical Office to send female disciples to the Imperial College?"
Mr. Old Tang glanced at him with a look of disgust on his face, "Are you and I such a selfish person?"
He asked: "Do you think there is any problem with the exchange and study between the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial College?"
Tang He shook his head, "No problem."
"Since you think it's okay, why do you think I would object?"
Tang He said: "The year before last, the Crown Princess had written a letter to select female officials to take over some affairs of Sinong Temple and Taichang Temple. You wrote a letter and denied it. Last year, the Crown Princess mentioned it again, and you said no because it was because it was inconvenient for women to participate in politics."
Mr. Old Tang emphasized: "It is inconvenient for harem women to participate in politics. Are there all harem women in that week?"
Tang He touched his chin and said: "Actually, the positions that the Crown Princess proposes to take over are the positions in charge of palace etiquette in Taichang Temple, and the positions in the Forestry Department in Sinong Temple. They are all related to the palace. It is convenient for the female officials in the palace to take charge...
…”
"No," Master Old Tang said: "Don't underestimate these positions. Although they are small, they are very important. The former dynasty and the harem are originally separated. If they are mixed together like this, if you meet a young master or a soft-eared king in the future, these positions will be
They are all big hidden dangers.”
He can't just look at the immediate convenience, he must always look at the future.
However, Tang He leaned back and said lazily: "The ups and downs are determined by the destiny. The king must learn to be bad. Even if he doesn't have these positions, there will be other positions. And dad, to be honest, throughout the dynasties, the dynasty is really bad.
How many generations are there in the hands of women? How many generations are there in the hands of men?"
Mr. Old Tang took the book in his hand and slapped him hard on the head, "Don't argue with me about this. Go pack your things quickly. Although you have to wait for Zhang Shangshu to return to Beijing to hand over, you don't want to be too lazy."
…”
Tang He ran away holding his head, feeling in his heart that his father just couldn't explain why he was like this.
After receiving the imperial edict, the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road handed over the affairs in his hands to his subordinates, and then quickly rode back to the capital with his bodyguard to take up his post.
When he came back, the matter at the Imperial Medical Office had been settled. Zhou Man carried two jars of chrysanthemum wine and went to the temple of Xuandu to attend the banquet. He had a drink with Tang He and others. When he came down the mountain, he met a servant of the Tang family running to look for him.
Tang He said, "Mr. Zhang, Zhang Shangshu went to Beijing to report on his work. Someone from the Ministry of Punishment came to see you and asked you to find a time to hand over."
Tang He raised his head and glanced at the sky, "In such a hurry? Why don't Zhang Shangshu rest for a few days after he comes back?"
Zhou Man said: "Perhaps it's because I'm an old acquaintance with my senior classmate, so I want to ask you to reminisce about old times?"
"...Forget it," Tang He said: "Although we have been together in Yizhou for several years, he is the Jiedushi and I am just a small county magistrate. We can't see each other a few times throughout the year. If we talk about old times, there really aren't many.
.”
Yang Heshu reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It should be to save my uncle's face and meet you early to show that I value him."
Tang He: "...There is no need to pay special attention to this, right?"
The dude didn't take it seriously, and because there was a leftist prime minister who had to deal with his superiors early, his vacation was shortened...
Oh, he doesn't have a holiday, he can just leave depending on when his superiors ask him to take over.
Tang He looked at Yang Heshu and Zhou Man with a look of reluctance. He couldn't hold Zhou Man's hand, so he went to hold Yang Heshu's hand. "We'll see you now. I'll be leaving in a few days. This separation will be a big deal again."
How many years..."
Yang Heshu wanted to pull his hand out, but found that he couldn't, so he used a little force and said helplessly: "I was in Xiazhou for several years before, and didn't I rely on letters to communicate?"
Zhou Man comforted him, "It's okay. I have to leave in a few days. Senior Brother Tang, do you want to go to Qingzhou with me?"
Tang He thought deeply, "If you invite me like this, Governor Guo will be very unhappy when he hears it, right?"
"It's okay. We just don't let him know that I invited him. Just say that you heard about a strange case in Qingzhou, so you came here after hearing the news..."
Tang He thought about it and agreed with a smile, "You guys will wait for me in Qingzhou while I patrol all the way."
He let go of Yang Heshu's hand and asked her curiously, "Are you leaving Beijing too?"
Zhou Man nodded and said with a clear mind: "The restructuring of the Imperial Medical Office and the exchange of students with the Imperial College have been settled. I will go to the medicine shop tomorrow. If there is no other important matter, I will leave for Qingzhou."
Before leaving, Zhou Man paid a visit to the Wei Mansion, mainly to offer Wei Zhi a stick of incense and then take a look at Princess Changyu.
