After all, Shou Anbo was a noble man in the capital, and his title could be reduced at any time. In the eyes of the people, he was nothing more than the magistrate of Ping'an County who was not afraid of power and made decisions for the people. He was wise, powerful and aware of everything today.
But in the eyes of other nobles, this incident was nothing less than an earthquake.
The reason why Xungui is Xungui is that besides having a name that can scare people, he also has privileges that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
Take Xiao Jue for example, even if he does not take the imperial examination, he can easily fill a vacancy in the palace. If Liu Jun, Huang Yulong and others are willing, they can easily enter the official career.
All these privileges stem from their noble status.
As long as you don't commit any serious crimes, your identity will be stable. The major crimes here refer to forming a party and conspiring to rebel, raising an army to rebel, etc. The lives of a few people are far from being considered serious crimes for them.
But because of this crime, Shou Anbo was directly eliminated from the ranks of the powerful. The other dignitaries in the capital immediately became extremely cautious, and no one wanted to be the second Shou Anbo.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. No one dares to test His Majesty the Emperor's bottom line. They can only restrain their own disciples. During this period, they should keep a low profile and don't get into trouble at critical moments.
Tang Ning was just a sixth-rank scholar and had nothing to do with the powerful. Shou Anbo's downfall would not be of any benefit to him... Strictly speaking, it was of some benefit.
He received another gift from King Kang.
It was only when he received the gift that he found out that Shou Anbo was a die-hard supporter of King Duan, and this time he gave King Kang another big gift.
In recent months, King Kang's fortune has been unparalleled. King Duan suffered setbacks one after another, and his performance in the court has become increasingly low-key. On the contrary, King Kang's line has finally exhaled and raised its eyebrows, stabilizing the pressure of King Duan's line.
What made Tang Ning regretful was that the gifts given by King Kang became lighter each time. If this trend continues, if he gives them ten or eight times, they will not be as good as the previous one.
It is impossible to realize the idea of getting rich by receiving gifts. It is better to take the right path, work hard with Tang Yaojing, and make a fortune through your own efforts.
Tang Yaojiing has been working very hard recently, but sometimes Tang Ning can't see her for a whole day. Ever since Rich Man Tang came to the capital, she has been stimulated by some unknown source. She only thinks about expanding her business and has completely awakened her attributes of a strong woman.
There are two Tangs in one sentence. As her net worth has increased, Tang Ning's will also increase. Tang Ning has no time and energy to take care of business. Xiao Yi neither understands nor is very interested in this. Xiao Yi opens a small shop.
It's okay. If she was asked to take care of such a large business, she would definitely be in a hurry. Fortunately, there is Tang Yaoyao, who can make Tang Ning feel at ease as a hands-off shopkeeper.
The only thing that worries him is that the two of them are now very closely connected in business. You have me and I have you. They are inseparable from each other. If time goes on, they may become inseparable.
However, given the relationship between her and Xiaoyi, they should never be separated in this life, so there is no need to worry too much.
He took three days of sick leave and stayed with Xiaoru and Xiaoyi for two days before returning to the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin bachelor walked into the check-in room, looked at him, and asked, "Is Tang Xiuzuan's health feeling better?"
Tang Ning stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Bachelor, for your concern. Your health is much better."
Xuexian Zhou said: "Tang Xiuzhuan is the pillar of the country. You must put your health first. If your health is not good, I can allow you to take a few more days off..."
Although he didn't want to sit here bored every day, but he couldn't use the same reason twice in a row, Tangning still declined Xueshu Zhou's proposal.
He opened a book and read it. After reading a few pages, a gust of fragrance suddenly drifted around him.
Only Princess Yingying likes this kind of spice.
Zhao Man jumped in and asked, "Are you healed?"
Tangning raised her head and said, "Please forgive me, Princess, for my illness has been cured."
"I don't care about you..." Zhao Man sat across from him and said, "You have recovered from your illness. Now you can play cards with me. Did you bring the "Mahjong" you mentioned last time?"
"No." Tangning shook her head. He didn't agree to her last time.
"Then remember to bring it with you next time." Zhao Man thought for a while and said, "Why don't you play Go with me? Go is available in the Hanlin Academy."
Tangning closed the book and said helplessly: "Your Highness, I'm very busy, can't you find someone else to sleep with you?"
"They don't dare." Zhao Man looked at him and said matter-of-factly: "Brother Tang Jing used to accompany me, but now you drive him away. No one dares to accompany me. You have to compensate me."
Academician Zhou, who had just stepped into the check-in room, paused and quickly retreated.
The princess asked Tang Xiuzhan to accompany her, so it was natural for him not to join in the fun.
However, although Her Royal Highness the Princess has not yet left the cabinet, if he remembers correctly, Tang Xiuzuan is already married. It is better for him to have less involvement in this royal matter.
"I can't play Go," Tang Ning said honestly.
Xiaoyi had taught him how to play Go, but he only learned half-assedly. Anyone who had learned Go a little bit could beat him up, but he didn't want to seek abuse on his own.
"You lied!" Zhao Man looked at him and said with disbelief: "They all say that you are a once-in-a-century talent. You are knowledgeable and talented. You are also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How can you not play Go?"
"Very knowledgeable and talented..." Tangning looked at her, and then asked, "What else did they say?"
Zhao Man thought for a while and said, "I was told that you are handsome and charming...how come I don't see how charming or handsome you are?"
What does a little girl know about movies? Tangning threw the book aside and asked, "What else is there?"
Zhao Man said without thinking: "You are also said to be a playboy. It's not enough to have two beautiful wives at home. You also used your sweet words to deceive the most beautiful woman in the capital. Not only that, but you also have an affair with the girls in Hongxiu Pavilion."
…”
Rumors cannot be trusted. Men who are jealous can tell any rumors from their mouths.
Zhao Man looked at him and kept chattering: "Hey, have you really deceived the most beautiful woman in the capital? What does the most beautiful woman in the capital look like? Is she beautiful? Is she as beautiful as me..."
I don’t know where this little girl’s confidence comes from. Can a little monster be compared with a thousand-year-old vixen like Su Mei? When she had the idea of comparing herself with Su Fox, she was already completely defeated.
Tangning didn't want to hear her buzzing like a bee. She looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, can we play a game?"
Zhao Man immediately became interested: "What game?"
Tang Ning looked at her and said, "From now on, whoever speaks first among us will lose. The loser will have to learn three dog barks in front of everyone in the Hanlin Academy in the lower office. What do you think?"
"
"Just bet, I'm afraid of you!" Zhao Man said unconvinced, and then covered her mouth.
The world finally became quiet. Tangning breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hold up the book he had just read...
In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Chen put down a secret letter and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"This little guy is really a genius." He smiled with a smile on his face, looking in the direction of the Hanlin Academy, and said: "With the salt, iron, and food in the Jiagu Department and the Shuhu Department, it was easy to contain the whole army.
Yanbu, we also have a group of good war horses. In time, we can train a group of brave cavalry. When the time comes, even if we face their cavalry head-on, they will not be inferior..."
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Old slave, congratulations to Your Majesty..."
Emperor Chen picked up the secret letter again, read it, and said, "But Chu State has benefited more from it. I don't know whether this move is right or wrong..."
Chu State, Imperial Palace.
"Cough, cough!" On the hospital bed, a middle-aged man coughed heavily, and after a long time he said in a hoarse voice: "The situation in the grassland has been determined. As long as the balance can be grasped, in a short time, the grassland will no longer be able to survive."
threaten."
A man in rich attire stood in front of his bed and said, "Wanyan's department has been restrained. Brother Huang, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"I'm not worried about the grassland." The middle-aged man coughed twice and said, "What I'm worried about is our very suspicious neighbor."
The man in rich clothes knelt down, tucked him in, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, today is different from the past. Our country of Chu is no longer the weak Chu it used to be, nor can we be manipulated by others."
"It would be best if the two countries could be friends for a long time without going to war." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you..."
