As the saying goes, if you want to make a person die, you must first make it crazy. The meaning of killing with praise is similar to this.
If you want to deal with a person, you can do the opposite, praise or praise the person excessively, and make the person swell. Maybe he will burst after being swollen.
However, flattery can also work from another angle. Even if Li Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not proud of excessive flattery, some people will be suspicious of him because of it.
Xiao Jue was stunned, looked at Tang Ning and asked, "You mean, your Majesty will be suspicious of the Minister of Industry because of this?"
Tangning nodded and said, "No matter what His Majesty thinks, things have become complicated."
Everything has a limit, whether it is the restructuring of the Sixteenth Guards or the Tang Renzhai newspaper, it must be controlled within Chen Huang's bottom line. The further away from this bottom line, the better.
Tang Ning took Liu Li out and gave Li Yan a little blow, which would not have touched the bottom line. However, Liu Feng or the Tang family added fuel to the fire, making the fire burn even more intensely, but it disrupted Tang Ning.
The plan pushed Chen Huang's bottom line and made things more complicated.
After experiencing the lottery incident, Tangning realized her shortcomings and began to consciously ponder these things. For this reason, she also found many officialdom novels from bookstores and spent a lot of time studying them to avoid a similar situation happening next time.
.
Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "What should we do now?"
Li Yandang was not the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and had nothing to do with Tang Ning. Tang Ning didn't know him. He just didn't want Liu Feng to be proud or the Tang family to be proud.
I have to admit that their move was really clever. If Tang Ning intervened again, she could easily be involved.
He thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, we should consider finding a dark and stormy night for a month and sneaking into Liu's house..."
Inside the palace, there is a side hall somewhere.
Chen Huang sat on the side of the square table, picked up a chess piece, and said: "There is really a big fuss over the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
The middle-aged man in cloth across from him dropped a chess piece and said: "The Minister of Civil Affairs has a high position and is powerful enough to influence the court situation. In order to compete for this position, it is inevitable that party disputes will arise. Even ordinary people have seen many of these methods in recent years.
Your Majesty should have seen enough to not be surprised."
"But I'm still angry..." Chen Huang put down the chess pieces, sighed, and said: "The parties are fighting, and I'm not dead yet, nor am I sick. What are they fighting for, what are they anxious about, are they expecting me to die soon?"
As he spoke, his eyes sharpened, and he continued: "Prince Duan, Prince Kang, Prince Kang, Prince Duan, some people in the court are so anxious to take sides so early, they are probably hoping that I will die soon."
The middle-aged man looked up at him and asked, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Tang Ning? Although he didn't make a big show of it this time, it is indeed somewhat obvious that he belittled Liu Feng and promoted Li Yan."
"He?" Chen Huang shook his head and said, "He and Li Yan have never met before. I know him well. He must be because Liu Feng almost set him up in front of me and the officials last time. Tangning is a very good person to me."
He is clear, vindictive, and petty-minded. He must have been thinking about how to avenge this for a long time..."
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "In the past, the common people thought that he was close to King Kang, but after he came back from Chu, he seemed to have not been in contact with King Kang, but he had a good relationship with Mr. Xiao..."
"But we can pity each other because we have the same disease." Chen Huang thought for a while and said: "I heard that Xiao Jue's illness has been cured. Tang Ning..., he has two wives in his family, but now they don't even have any heirs. They are probably still
It’s okay…”
He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "You have dealt with him, what kind of person do you think he is?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "He is extremely smart, extremely alert, non-competitive, indifferent, and full of ability, but he is petty-minded, vengeful, petty, and will retaliate..."
…
"A sneeze, a sneeze, a sneeze..."
Tang Ning had nothing to do and was playing flying chess with Tang Yaoyao in the yard. When she was about to win the first game, she suddenly sneezed several times. Tang Yaoyao across from her wiped her face, stood up and glared at him.
Tangning rubbed her nose, looked at her, and asked, "Are you scolding me in your heart? I just want to win against you, right?"
Tang Yaoyao felt a little guilty after what he said, and immediately said: "I'm going to wash my face!"
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Tang Ning glanced at her running figure and sighed secretly in her heart. When will Fairy Tang become more mature? Isn't it just that she lost the game of chess? As for cursing, he also revealed her inner thoughts in just two sentences...
He looked around and secretly moved Tang Yaoyao's chess piece back two spaces. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of him. His hand shook, thinking that it was Tang Yaoyao who was back. When he looked up, he realized that it was Wei Wei.
between.
Wei Jian looked at him with a smile and said, "Master Tang, your Majesty has summoned you."
Nothing happened recently, so Emperor Chen summoned him for no reason. He didn't know whether he was asking for a gift or for some other reason.
He looked at Wei Jian and asked: "General Manager Wei, does he know what your Majesty wants from me?"
Tang Ning had a good feeling for Wei Jian. If he hadn't reminded her last time, he wouldn't have even thought of adding more gifts.
Wei Jian shook his head and said, "We don't know this."
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Eunuch Wei has been with His Majesty for many years and must know His Majesty's character very well. Why don't you have a chat with me..."
Wei Jian looked at him and asked, "Master Tang, what is this..."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "I'm worried that I might say the wrong thing in front of His Majesty and make His Majesty angry. I would like to ask Manager Wei for more advice."
Wei Jian smiled and said: "It's easy to talk about..."
…
Tang Ning followed Wei Jian into the palace. Before entering the main hall, she heard the quarrel inside.
In the palace, Prince Duan looked at Emperor Chen and said, "Father, I think that Minister Liu of the Ministry of Rites is very qualified and qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
King Kang smiled, walked out and said: "Father, I think that Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry is the most qualified. In terms of qualifications, he is not inferior to Liu Shilang. Moreover, Li Shilang has a very good reputation among the people. Liu Shilang is in this respect."
, a far cry from Minister Li..."
King Duan glanced at him and said: "The rumors among the people about Liu Shilang are purely false accusations..."
Tangning stood outside the hall, looked up, and then looked back.
Liu Feng is a member of the Tang family, that is, a member of King Duan, so King Duan will naturally fight for him. Li Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, heard that he is non-sectarian and is not close to anyone, but if King Duan agrees, King Kang will definitely oppose it.
, for him, whoever is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is better than Liu Feng.
But neither of them understands their father. If the two of them fight over each other, it is very likely that Emperor Chen will not choose either one.
During the quarrel between King Kang and King Duan, Wei Jian walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Tang is here."
Tang Ning walked into the palace. After Prince Duan glanced at him, he said nothing coldly. Prince Kang showed no expression and glanced at him. Prince Huai was distracted from beginning to end, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.
something.
Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Do you know why I summoned you today?"
Tang Ning lowered her head and said, "I am guilty."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the palace was stunned. King Duan's face showed joy, King Kang's face showed surprise, and even King Huai's eyes were on him.
Chen Huang did not expect such an answer. He looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Okay, then tell me, what are your crimes?"
Tang Ning raised her head and said, "I made arrogant comments about government affairs and court officials in the newspaper, which had a bad impact on the reputation of Mr. Liu, the Minister of Rites, and I am therefore guilty."
When King Duan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised. King Kang looked at Tang Ning and frowned.
Chen Huang looked at him and said: "I have read the Tang Renzhai newspaper, and it is not an unreasonable discussion of government affairs. As for the discussion of imperial officials, it is not as serious as you said. It's just that the Yamen had already found out at that time that Liu Shilang's son was being raped.
If someone beats someone, you should investigate clearly in the future and try to avoid such unintentional mistakes..."
Tang Ning looked up at Emperor Chen and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I did not make an unintentional mistake."
