Tang Jing looked at Tang Zhao and asked, "Do you know why your Majesty transferred him to the Household Department and asked him to travel around the Six Departments?"
Tang Zhao was stunned and asked: "Why?"
"This is training the prime minister." Tang Jing's eyes showed deep unwillingness and jealousy, and he murmured: "Does your Majesty really value him so much?"
"Prime Minister?"
Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Tang Zhao stood up suddenly and said in disbelief: "Just him?"
He was born into a wealthy family, so how could he not know the weight of the word prime minister?
Anyone who can become the prime minister is the most respected and trusted person by the emperor. Even the Tang family has not climbed to this position. How can he, Tang Ning, be so good?
He clenched his fists, and his eyes gleamed with hatred, but he could only clench his fists.
It is not terrible to offend a Tang Ning. If His Majesty is dissatisfied again, it will not be worth the loss for the Tang family.
Tang Jing sat down slowly and whispered: "Although there are many constraints in the officialdom, there are also benefits. At least sometimes, you can do things openly and openly, without having to be secretive..."
Prince Kang's Mansion.
King Kang looked excited and said: "My father transferred him to the Ministry of Household Affairs so quickly, which shows that my father's regard for him is higher than I expected."
A middle-aged man next to him reminded: "Your Highness has misunderstood. He is not only transferring him to the Ministry of Rites, but also asking him to go through all six ministries within two years. This is a must for those who are prime ministers."
Lu, although he has only been in each department for a short three months, it is enough to show that His Majesty attaches great importance to him..., Your Majesty, we did not misjudge the person this time."
"Of course I know that I have seen the right person!" Prince Kang laughed heartily and said, "This Tang Ning is simply my lucky star. Ever since he came to the capital, I have never lost a fight with Zhao Ming. But I didn't expect that my father would
The Emperor's regard for him has actually reached such an extent."
He thought for a while and suddenly asked: "You said that all the officials know that Tang Ning is the king's son, and the emperor father still thinks so highly of him, does this mean that... it seems that the emperor father has been suppressing the Tang family and supporting Tang Ning?
Could it be that Father, he has intention..."
"Ahem!" The middle-aged man coughed lightly, interrupting King Kang's thoughts and said: "No one can guess what His Majesty is thinking, but we are indeed a big step ahead compared to King Duan. Your Highness should strike while the iron is hot.
, to further win over Mr. Tang."
King Kang was startled and asked: "How to win over him?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It is a happy event that Mr. Tang is favored by His Majesty. Your Highness should give him a heavy gift..."
"What!" King Kang was stunned when he heard this, and said in shock: "Send it away again!"
The middle-aged man looked at him and consoled him: "Your Highness, the more you give, the more you will gain."
King Kang had a look of pain on his face: "Yes, but I have paid too much..."
The middle-aged man said: "Your Highness, you might as well think about it, every time we give a gift, does Mr. Tang give us a big gift first? And what Mr. Tang gives us are all big gifts that cannot be bought with money."
Having said that, the gifts Tangning gave him were invisible and intangible, but the gifts he gave were all real money. This was too much, even he couldn't bear it...
The pain on his face became even worse. At a certain moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "It's so vulgar to always give money as a gift. Let's give something else this time!"
…
Tang Ning admitted that she was just a common person. She gave away jade belts and jade tokens, but she didn't give any money.
Generally speaking, whenever he helped King Kang in some way or something good happened at home, King Kang would send gifts the next day. Although the gifts he gave became thinner and thinner, they were still better than nothing.
He thought for a while, looked at Xiao Jue and asked: "What kind of gifts do you think King Kang will send this time, gold, silver, jewelry, or antiques, calligraphy and paintings?"
Xiao Jue glanced at him and asked disdainfully: "Do you like silver so much?"
Tangning looked at him and asked, "You don't like it?"
Xiao Jue said: "I still prefer beautiful women."
"A penniless sixteen-year-old girl or a sixty-year-old woman with tens of millions of dollars, which one do you want?"
After Tang Ning asked this question, she realized that she had asked nonsense. To Xiao Jue, there was not much difference between a sixteen-year-old girl and a sixty-year-old woman.
Xiao Jue thought for a while and said simply: "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is that I like to be more mature..."
The national treasury's annual tax revenue does not even amount to ten million taels of silver. Ten million taels of silver would be enough for him to sleep with ten girls in a brothel every night.
He closed his eyes and imagined it, his body couldn't help but tremble, and asked: "Can't it be a sixteen-year-old girl with a net worth of tens of millions?"
Tangning looked at her, shook her head and said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too, where can you find a young, beautiful and rich woman?"
"Fish?" Fang Xinyue, who had just finished practicing and walked over with Tang Yaoyao, looked at him and asked, "Brother Tangning, have you bought fish at home? Steamed or braised? I'll cook it later..."
"No, if you want to eat fish, I'll send someone to buy it later." Tang Ning replied casually, and when her eyes swept over Tang Yaoyao, she was suddenly stunned.
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Tang Ning discovered that the saying "You can't have your cake and eat it too" is not true all the time. There are really young, beautiful and rich women in this world...
I didn't wait for a gift from King Kang, so I simply didn't wait. I finally had such half a month's leave, and it wasn't enough to spend time with my family. How could I waste it here.
He doesn't spend much time with them on weekdays. Today he plans to risk his life to accompany his wife and go shopping with Xiao Yi and Xiaoru on the street. None of the maids or servants will be taken with him.
When Xiaoyi walked out of the room, she called out Tang Yaoyao and Fang Xiaoyue, and Fang Xiaoyue called out Xiaoxiao. Qing'er would definitely follow Xiaoyi when she went out, so the number of three people became seven.
After walking out of the mansion with the six girls, Tang Ning began to regret her decision.
Stepping out of the house, I happened to see a familiar face.
Whenever she saw the face of Prince Kang's housekeeper, Tang Ning knew that someone was going to send money.
The steward of Prince Kang's Mansion looked at him and said with a smile: "I learned that Mr. Tang was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs. To express his congratulations, His Highness Prince Kang specially ordered me to prepare a small gift. I hope Mr. Tang will not refuse."
There was no need to refuse the gift from Prince Kang. Tangning smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince Kang, for me, and have someone carry it in directly."
The steward of Prince Kang's Mansion smiled and said, "There is no need to carry the gift this time."
He clapped his hands, and several figures walked over.
Only then did Tang Ning realize that those who followed the housekeeper of Prince Kang's residence were not servants of the palace, but eight women with beautiful faces and enchanting figures.
The appearance of these eight women is very outstanding, and what is even more rare is that they are all almost the same height and have very similar figures, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Tangning was stunned and asked, "Is this..."
The steward of Prince Kang's Mansion smiled and said: "This is a small gift from His Highness Prince Kang. These eight women are all virgins, good at singing and dancing, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Master Tang only needs to give them a bite of food. On weekdays,
They can also serve tea and water, make the bed and warm the quilt."
The impact of these eight beauties standing together was quite big. After all, except for the silly maid Qing'er, all the other maids in her family were real little girls. Tang Ning had never seen such a formation before.
He came back to his senses, looked at the steward of Prince Kang's Mansion, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Kang's gift is too heavy, I'm so sorry..."
Three dagger-like eyes looked at her from behind. Tangning was excited and said quickly: "How bad this is. Tang has accepted His Highness Prince Kang's gift with heart. Please ask the housekeeper to take these girls back."
The butler looked embarrassed and said: "This... I'm afraid I won't be able to communicate with His Highness when I go back."
Several women even trembled, with panicked looks on their faces.
At times like this, you have to be firm. Tangning looked at the housekeeper and said, "Let these girls go back. I can't accept this gift."
The butler said with a grimace: "Master Tang, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Zhong Yi looked at the women, walked forward, looked at Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "Since it is a gift from His Highness Prince Kang, please accept it."
His father-in-law taught him a lesson: as a man, you must always have a strong desire to survive.
It would be too stupid for him to fall for such a simple trick. Tangning looked at her, pursed her lips and said, "No, we can't accept this gift."
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "If you don't accept it, wouldn't you be living up to His Highness Prince Kang's good intentions?"
Tangning looked at her, a little uncertain for a moment. She looked into her eyes for a moment and asked tentatively, "Then...take it?"
