When Ah Xuan came back from inquiring about the information, he drank a large bowl of water and said, "There's no need to look for it."
Mingwei came out of the house: "Why don't you have to look for it?"
Ah Xuan said: "Master Ji Wu was caught by them. They were afraid that we would not rescue him, so they deliberately released the news."
After hearing the news, Mingwei felt relieved: "It will be easy to find his whereabouts. They want us to rescue him, so they will definitely not hurt him."
Yang Shu also came out: "There must be a trap, we have to be careful. Ah Xuan, please contact the people in the Imperial City Department and see if you can get some information."
After all, he had been in charge of the Imperial City Division and was somewhat in love with him. Moreover, before leaving, King An cleared the relationship with him. As long as it did not affect his duties, the people in the Imperial City Division would cooperate with him.
Ah Xuan agreed and said: "There is also the Duke Dai's Mansion, which is very chaotic now."
Yang Shu was very concerned about this issue and beckoned: "Come on, let's make it clear."
Ah Xuan said: "Tang Jing had a very high prestige during his lifetime, and all the direct descendants of the Tang family were headed by him, and no one dissatisfied with him. And the other members of the Tang family were not all useless, especially the second master and the third master.
Holding a high position, once Tang Jing died, he wanted to take over the Tang family..."
"Then what?"
Ah Xuan took a sip of tea and continued: "I heard that Mrs. Tang didn't like her second son. When Tang Shao carried his father's body back, he was scolded and said that he was a patricide. Later, the second master of Tang, Tang
The third master came to the door, so Mrs. Tang temporarily suppressed the matter and supported the second son to take power. For the eldest son, the current situation is not very good. The eldest son Tang Luo is leading troops outside. Even if he rushes back immediately, it will take time.
The second son Tang Shao, because he had not been in the house for many years, did not have a deep foundation. The old lady who was able to convince the other brothers fell ill again. However, the eldest son had been in charge of the house for many years, and both the customers and the property were in the hands of the eldest son.
No one can be shaken for a while."
Yang Shu nodded and said: "Tang Luo has military power in his hands. This is fundamental. Tang Shao is scheming and strategic, and he is not easy to deal with. Plus the tenth master Tang Xi..." He asked Mingwei, "He
Do you support the long-term relationship?"
Mingwei replied: "To be precise, Tang Xi supports Tang Shao. They grew up together as uncle and nephew, and their relationship is extraordinary. However, Tang Xi is better at assisting and is not suitable for taking the lead.
Therefore, he will definitely support the eldest son, and between the two sons, he will support Tang Shao."
"Okay." Yang Shu said, "With the help of Tang Xi and the consistent communication with Mrs. Tang, Tang Shao should be able to stabilize the situation and wait for Tang Luo to come back. However, during this period, the other families will not give up seizing power. In short,
, the Tang family is going to be in chaos for a while."
"There are other aristocratic families," Ah Xuan added. "My subordinates have inquired about it. In the past few days, those aristocratic families that were suppressed by the Tang family have emerged one after another to take sides. Even some who were originally attached to the Tang family have also started to think about it.
.And the Emperor of Nanchu is now busy packing up the imperial army and taking control of the palace."
"What a good opportunity." Yang Shu said with a smile, "None of them can swallow up the other, which is the best situation. I hope these aristocratic families can persist longer and consume the power of the Tang family. It is best to stay in chaos for a few years, that way
If so, maybe we can have the opportunity to march south."
This idea is wonderful, but at present, it is not practical.
It's not enough for Tang Jing to die. At least half of the Tang family must be destroyed.
What worries Mingwei is that she knows that Tang Shao has the ability to clean up the mess. If he is given enough time, maybe it can be settled.
Now we can only hope that Xinggong will be more powerful. With an emperor in his hands, he can do more things in the name of Emperor Tiancheng. It is best to make Tang Shao feel powerless.
But then, there is another question. With the ethics of Xing Palace, will they really support Emperor Tiancheng all the time? After all, in terms of ability, Emperor Tiancheng is far from Tang Shao. Not long ago, Miss Ling
He also wanted to support Tang Shao to rise to power.
After she mentioned her worries, Yang Shu said: "How can everything in the world go as planned? For example, Tang Jing's death was something we had not expected at all. We still have to figure out which direction they will go."
Mingwei nodded.
It's true that she was a little anxious.
"We'll discuss other matters later. Let's save people first."
"good."
…
An elegiac couplet was hung in the Duke of Dai's mansion. Tang Jing, the Duke of Dai, who had been domineering all his life, was lying quietly in the coffin.
His remains have been cleaned up, he is dressed in official attire, and his face is still as majestic as when he was alive.
Tang Shao stood in front of the soul, silently looking at the paper ingots in the brazier, motionless.
Tang Xi walked in and said, "You haven't slept in two days, have you? Go take a nap."
Tang Shao still didn't move.
Tang Xi sighed: "No matter what, your health is the most important thing. If you fall down now, we really can't do anything to save you." As he said that, he touched the clothes on his body and said, "It's so cold in the mourning hall, so you don't wear much.
One piece, do you want to freeze yourself?"
It's May now. In order to preserve Tang Jing's body, a lot of ice cubes were placed in the mourning hall, which made it chilly when you walked in.
"Let's go next door with Uncle Ten, have a bowl of hot porridge, and get some sleep first. We'll be busy tomorrow!"
Tang Xi reached out to help him, and this time Tang Shao finally obeyed.
The uncle and nephew slowly returned to the resting compartment, and Tang Xi ordered his servants to bring food and water.
Tang Shao drank a bowl of porridge obediently, and his face finally looked better and his energy became better.
He opened his mouth and asked: "Is there any news from the palace? Is there any decree to punish you?"
How the emperor determines the death of Duke Dai is the key to subsequent development.
If he issues an edict to reprimand and announces the charges, then he will fall out with the Tang family.
Forced to that point, the Tang family had no other choice but to die and lose everything.
After all, they are all rebellious officials and traitors. Should we just let them be captured without mercy?
And if the emperor retreats, then the Tang family has other options.
Tang Xi replied: "There was no decree. As soon as the eldest brother died, Marquis Wenshan made a memorial and stated the charges, claiming that the eldest brother had committed ten major crimes and should be punished for them. There was no order from the emperor, and no words have been leaked out now."
Tang Shao nodded and gently turned the ring on his hand.
This was taken from my father after his death.
Tang Shao tried to use his father's habitual actions to comfort himself. It was as if his father was still there after doing so.
"Your Majesty, you still don't dare!" He smiled faintly, "Those who vote for him are all just outsiders. The so-called loyal people don't have much strength, so he doesn't dare to fall out with us."
"Yeah." Tang Xi said softly, "So, we still have a chance. When Da Lang comes back, we will file a petition and let him be knighted. As long as he is knighted, it will be a protracted battle in the future."
Tang Shao nodded in agreement.
There is no denying that this is the best result.
After all, the status of monarch and ministers has been determined, and Emperor Tiancheng is not an unprincipled and ignorant emperor. If the Tang family raises its flag to rebel, public opinion will lose a step.
The so-called Dao defeats the unprincipled, and teachers have reputations. These are all things that need to be paid attention to.
No matter what the truth is, at least it must occupy a name. (To be continued)
