Tang Ning will not comment on whether the amnesty is a good thing or a bad thing. It is a means to win over the people and it also promotes people's awareness of benevolence. We cannot use the thinking of later generations to evaluate the unique characteristics of the feudal system.
However, those among Zuo Xiaowei who joined the army were not included in the amnesty because they were two days late and missed this policy.
General Zhang Zuolang has somehow become more honest in the past two days, and he doesn't know if he has completely given up on himself and stayed in the camp all day long.
He didn't cause trouble to Tang Ning, and Tang Ning didn't bother to trouble him. After all, Zhang Chao still had the status of a consort and was considered a relative of the emperor. If he still clung to him, he would be not giving face to Emperor Chen.
Zhang Chao was willing to be his idle general, and Tang Ning fulfilled his wish.
Things in the Xiaoqi camp have almost been arranged, and there are still a few captains left. We really can't find anyone, so we can only promote a few more from below.
On the school field, Ling Feng led five hundred people from the second battalion to run around the school field with great momentum.
A young captain ran forward two steps, panted heavily, and asked: "Captain Ling, I heard that General Tang is your brother-in-law?"
"What do you think?" Ling Feng glanced at him and said, "General Tang's wife is my cousin. If he is not my brother-in-law, who is I?"
The captain said, "I can't believe that you have such a relationship with General Tang."
He thought for a while, then looked at Ling Feng and asked, "Does Colonel Ling know why General Tang has never assigned a captain to the first battalion?"
In fact, Ling Feng was also curious about this matter. So far, nine of the ten captains of Zuo Xiaoqi Battalion have been assigned, but Tang Ning has not arranged anyone for the captain of the first battalion.
The 1st Battalion is the most important guard battalion among the ten battalions. The captain of the 1st Battalion is also the leader of the guards. It is better to be incompetent than indiscriminate. We must ensure loyalty. In addition to loyalty, we must also be sensible. It is indeed not an easy decision.
Things at the Xiaoqi Camp have come to an end for the time being. Those who should stay will stay and those who should go will go. Training is not Tangning's strong point. Old Zheng will arrange everything.
He came out of the Xiaoqi camp and returned to the city, planning to go to Tiantianju to sit for a while.
When I walked to the door, I happened to meet another group of people.
As far as he knew, during this amnesty, King Kang seemed to have been released from confinement. The three-month confinement ended after just over a month.
King Kang had benefited from the amnesty this time, and he was probably going to hold a banquet here, surrounded by his supporters.
Next to King Kang is a strange middle-aged man. Judging from where he stands, he should be the most distinguished person in the group besides King Kang.
King Kang also saw Tang Ning. After glancing at him, he looked away and said to the middle-aged man beside him: "Mr. Xu, please."
Mr. Xu's eyes lingered on Tang Ning's face for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Your Highness, please go first."
"Mr. Xu..." After Kang Wang and others left, Tang Ning murmured, then shook her head, walked into Tiantianju, and chose another path.
Not long after, Tang Yu was walking by the lake where Tian Tian lived. She looked at him and asked, "When will I bring Yaoyao over? I still have something to say to her."
Tang Ning said: "She hasn't come home yet. When she comes back, I will bring her here."
Tang Yu nodded and said: "How come Xiaoru and Xiaoyi haven't gotten pregnant after such a long time? I have prepared the baby's clothes..."
Tangning said with some embarrassment: "They are still young and it is not suitable to have children now."
Su Mei on the side looked at him and said: "They are not young, they are not even suitable for them. What age do you think a woman is suitable for?"
Tang Ning thought for a while, looked at Su Mei, and said, "At least I have to be like you..."
The twenty-three-year-old Su Mei is obviously more suitable for giving birth to a child than the eighteen- or nineteen-year-old Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi.
Tang Yu glanced at Tang Ning with some reproach and said, "Why are you talking to Mei'er? She's not married yet. She talks so openly..."
Su Mei glanced at Tang Ning and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I've long been used to it."
Tangning explained: "What I mean is that from a medical point of view, her current age is the most suitable for having a child. She will wait until she is two years old..."
Su Mei looked at him and raised the corner of her mouth: "Two years?"
"I made a mistake." Tangning sensed a hint of danger in her, realized her mistake, and immediately changed her words: "I mean, in a few years, in a few years..."
Su Mei put her wrist on Tang Ning's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go there and talk about how many years it is. I'm very interested in this matter..."
Tang Yu watched Tang Ning held hostage by Su Mei walking forward, a smile appeared on her face, and she walked slowly along the lake.
On the other side, two figures walked out of the main building, holding on to a tree by the lake and vomiting, surrounded by the smell of alcohol.
"Well, thanks to this amnesty, otherwise, His Highness would have been grounded for two months!"
"I heard that the Queen Mother's health is failing, and I don't know how long she can survive this time..."
"Your Majesty has really worked hard for the Queen Mother's birthday. This battle is unprecedented..."
…
The two of them finished vomiting, supported each other, and were still talking. At a certain moment, one of them stopped, looked towards the lake, and said in surprise: "Hey, look at that person over there, is it the second young lady of the Tang family, Tang?"
Yu?"
Another person shook his head and said: "You are really drunk. Tang Yu, the second young lady of the Tang family, has been missing for more than a year. How could she appear in the capital? What's more, I have seen Tang Yu before, and she is obviously not like that!"
"Maybe it's because my eyesight is dazzled..." The man shook his head, took two steps, looked back in surprise, and murmured: "But except for the face, everything looks the same..."
…
Today is the first day that King Kang lifted his ban. King Kang was so happy that he held a banquet in Tianranju and returned home drunk.
In Prince Kang's palace, Prince Kang bowed deeply to Mr. Xu and said, "Xu, Mr. Xu, it was my fault in the past. You, you must not take it to your heart..."
King Kang's drunken eyes were dim and he said: "When you leave, I feel like I have lost my brain. There is no one around me to make suggestions. I will definitely listen to you in the future..."
Mr. Xu looked at him and said with a smile: "Your Highness is drunk."
King Kang waved his hand and said: "Although I am drunk, I speak from my heart. From now on, Mr. Xu's intention in this palace will be what I, Zhao Cheng, mean..."
The other people around him were shocked when they heard this.
From what King Kang said, it seems that he regards Mr. Xu as his backbone, and it seems that he will respect Mr. Xu even more in the future.
It goes without saying that in the days since Mr. Xu left, King Kang almost caused a catastrophe. A wise and resourceful counselor like Mr. Xu should be taken seriously everywhere.
Faced with King Kang's words, Mr. Xu just smiled slightly and said to a servant of the palace: "Why don't you help your highness to have a rest?"
The servant showed respect on his face, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Xu."
The lifting of Prince Kang's ban and the return of Mr. Xu should be the two major events in Prince Kang's mansion in the past two days.
Because of the mistakes he had made, King Kang gave Mr. Xu enough trust this time. All the affairs of the palace were managed by him. He had become a veritable first steward of the palace. Even his apprentices were in the palace.
The status has become higher and higher.
"Mr. Xiao Xu."
When the young man walked out of Prince Kang's mansion, the concierge immediately saluted respectfully.
At this time, a sedan stopped in front of Prince Kang's Mansion, and a man hurriedly walked down and said, "I want to see His Highness Prince Kang. I have something important to report to His Highness!"
The young man looked at him and said, "Your Highness is still drunk. If Master Wu has anything to do, you can report it to Mr. Xu first."
As a member of Prince Kang's party, Wu Yong naturally knew Mr. Xu's status in Prince Kang's palace. After thinking for a moment, he immediately said: "Please take me to see Mr. Xu quickly!"
A moment later, in a room in Prince Kang's Mansion, Mr. Xu looked at Wu Yong and asked, "What's important, Mr. Wu?"
Wu Yong said seriously: "I found the missing second lady of the Tang family!"
Mr. Xu's eyes moved from elsewhere to his face and asked: "Which Tang family?"
Wu Yong said: "Of course it's the Tang family of Prince Duan. Didn't their second lady disappear a long time ago? I saw her in Tiantianju yesterday. She was with Tang Ning..." For His Highness,
, this is an excellent opportunity. If used well, it can hit Tangning and the Tang family at the same time..."
Mr. Xu looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you really saw the second lady of the Tang family?"
"It's absolutely true!" Wu Yong patted his chest and said, "Wu knows countless people. Although her appearance has changed, I am sure that she is the second young lady of the Tang family, Tang Yu!"
Mr. Xu nodded, looked at him again, and asked: "Are you the only one who knows about this matter?"
Wu Yong nodded and said: "I discovered this incident by chance when I was having dinner at Tiantianju last night. After thinking about it all night, I determined that the woman was Tang Yu. I came to report it to Your Highness early in the morning. There was no second thought.
I know it personally.”
Mr. Xu nodded again, looked at him, smiled and said: "Very good..."
