Liu Feng was the Minister of Rites, and Tang Huai was the Minister of Rites, his direct superior.
Since a few years ago, the Liu family has only followed the leadership of the Tang family and King Duan. Only in this way can he not be excluded in the Ministry of Rites. After King Duan comes to power, the Liu family can move to a higher level and his official career will be smooth.
Unobstructed.
The head of the Liu family followed the lead of the head of the Tang family, and the children of the Liu family naturally followed beside the children of the Tang family.
Liu Li is the one who works hard around Tang Zhao.
The horse owner ran away, and his enemies turned to bully his horse. This was the trouble Tang Zhao caused, and the reason why the generals' disciples came to Liu Li.
Other wealthy families in the capital have their playboys causing trouble for the family, but the Liu family has just the opposite.
After figuring this out, Liu Feng felt embarrassed to blame his son anymore.
"Okay, when you see them in the future, just stay away." The Tang family couldn't afford to offend many generals, and the Liu family couldn't afford to offend them either. Liu Feng warned him and walked out of the house quickly.
Tang Ning was obviously targeting him. It happened to be a critical moment for him to compete for the position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Originally, he was confident that he could win against Li Yan, the Minister of Works, but now he was no longer sure.
I heard that His Majesty was also reading the Tang Renzhai newspaper, where Li Yan and him were both criticized and praised. It was unlikely that it would affect His Majesty's decision. He must do something before the worst happened.
Rites Yamen.
Tang Huai stood up from his position and walked slowly in the hall, rubbing the index finger and thumb of his right hand unconsciously. Anyone familiar with it knew that when Tang Shangshu made this move, it showed that he really had something in his heart.
Angry.
"Just do your own thing." After a while, Tang Huai sat down again, looked at Liu Feng and said, "I will find a way to solve this matter."
Liu Feng nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to resign."
When he walked out of the room and walked into the courtyard, he stopped again.
The position of the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is very important. I believe Tang Shangshu pays more attention to it than him, and King Duan will not just sit idly by and ignore it. He does not need to worry too much about this matter.
He stood in the courtyard and thought for a while, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly looked to the corridor to one side and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Liu?"
The doctor from the temple looked at him, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
After he finished speaking, he shook his head and turned to leave.
The former Minister of Household Affairs didn't seem to have offended Tang Ning. Now grass has begun to grow on the grave. The Minister of Justice didn't offend him either, but he was reduced to a banishment. During the time he was in the Ministry of Rites, Minister Liu was not suppressed.
I have already burned incense, but instead of going to the temple to pray to the gods and worship Buddha, I actually dare to take the initiative to provoke him...
Even if he doesn't fall into a well this time, doesn't get hit by a carriage when he goes out, and doesn't suffer from diarrhea for a month, I'm afraid he won't be able to get the position of right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Liu Feng looked at the leaving figure of the temple doctor, shook his head, and murmured: "It's inexplicable..."
In the Tang family, Tang Ning looked at Tang Yaoyao, and Tang Yaoyao looked at him.
After a moment, neither of them glared at each other, and Tang Yaoyao asked: "Why didn't you ask me how much I won from this bet?"
"Whatever you win from the bet is what you win." Tangning looked at her and asked, "Am I afraid that you will keep it for yourself?"
"What if I really embezzled it?" Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "Do you believe me so much?"
"If I don't believe it, who do you believe?" Tangning looked at her and said, "The money will be put in the warehouse first. It will be used anyway."
"That's not possible." Tang Yaoyao sat down and said, "Although the shop belongs to both of us, your money belongs to you and mine belongs to me. I don't want to be greedy for your money. I will convert it into
Give the banknote to Xiaoru."
Tangning said nonchalantly, "It's up to you."
He has no concept of money now. When he was in Lingzhou, he had to work hard for a few hundred taels of silver. Now that he has earned tens of thousands of taels, he does not have the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that he had when he made money.
Tang Yaoyao thought of something, looked at him, frowned and said: "Your newspapers can't make any money at all, why do you continue?"
Tangning looked at her and said seriously: "Some things can't just be taken at face value, and you can't just think about money. For example, when we hosted the Sixteenth Guardian Competition this time, didn't we invest money in it, but in the end we lost money?"
Tang Yaoyao shook his head. Although he had invested a lot in this competition, the tickets and sponsorships from businessmen had already paid back.
Not to mention the promotion of major stores during the competition. The Tang family's stores in the capital were previously unknown, but now they have been recognized by the people of the capital. Before and after the competition, daily profits increased several times.
"If you think it's useful, just continue." Tang Yaoyao usually wouldn't ask questions about things she didn't understand. Some complicated things were a big test for her brain.
The wall is back.
Xiao Jue walked in with his hands behind his back, looked at him, and asked: "I heard that Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, was vying for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel recently. Did you write that in the newspaper on purpose?"
Revenge when there is a grievance, and revenge when there is a grudge, this is Tang Ning's code of conduct.
Putting aside his personal grievances with Liu Feng, it would be good to weaken the power of the Tang family. If one of their people takes up such an important position as Minister of Civil Affairs, wouldn't it be even more powerful for the Tang family and Prince Duan?
Xiao Jue said: "Just a few words can't have much effect. At most, it will prevent him from being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs..."
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Tang Ning stood up and asked, "Is it possible to choose a dark and windy night to sneak into Liu's house and kill him?"
Although Liu Feng was not a clean figure, he didn't have any big handles. Even Su Mei and the others hadn't found out about him. From normal channels, Tang Ning really couldn't do anything to him.
However, although he has no principles in life, he has a bottom line in doing things. If he kills people because of this kind of thing, what is the difference between him and the scum of the Tang family?
Xiao Jue thought for a while and said: "Yes, if Liu Feng cannot be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all the efforts of the Tang family will be in vain, so you belittle Liu Feng, and let people spread the news in the capital to expand Li Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
and further belittle Liu Feng in order to let Li Yan replace him..."
Tangning looked at him, frowned, and asked, "What news are you spreading?"
Tangrenzhai's newspaper has now become the official reading material of all major government offices. Even Emperor Chen can read it. He does not need to spread any more news and does not spread any news.
Xiao Jue looked at him and said in surprise: "In the past two days, the people in Beijing have been talking about Li Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. His past achievements have also been dug up and publicized, and rumors about Liu Feng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, have been spread.
Some of the stains on..., weren’t these done by you?”
Tangning shook her head and said, "No."
Xiao Jue was startled and said in surprise: "Who could that be? Could it be Li Yan himself?"
Tangning continued to shake her head: "Probably not."
Xiao Jue looked at him and asked: "If it's not you or Li Yan, who could it be?"
Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Liu Feng, or the Tang family."
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and asked: "Are Liu Feng and the Tang family crazy? Why do they want to belittle themselves and elevate others?"
Tangning's eyes were slightly stern and she said, "This is flattery."
