The Ministry of Works has been in the limelight in the court in the past few days. The Minister of Works was recalled to the capital for questioning, and the Minister of Works was suspended for three months. All the minor and minor matters of the Ministry of Works were placed in Tang Ning's hands.
Today was a rare day off. Tangning did not go shopping with the ladies. She sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun and enjoying the massage from Qing'er's skillful hands.
The Ministry of Industry's case has been largely concluded now, and the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are completing the finishing work.
Dozens of officials in the DPRK were implicated, but fortunately the highest-ranking one was only the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, which did not cause turmoil in the entire bureaucracy.
There are still a large number of Jinshi waiting to fill the vacancies in the Ministry of Personnel. The supply of official positions in Chen State has never exceeded the demand.
Of course, compared with what happened to King Kang, the demotions and demotions of these officials were nothing.
King Kang was demoted from prince to heir, which cut off his path to becoming a heir. If King Duan didn't make any big mistakes in the future, he would have no choice but to rebel if he wanted to ascend to the throne.
And this road is almost blocked for him.
Although King Kang successfully stayed in the capital with a white silk ribbon, he was no longer qualified to participate in government affairs. Most of the resources in his hands were handed over to King Huai, and the dignitaries around him were also being purged again and again.
Not much left.
Although he was able to stay in the capital, he was no different from a useless person. The only advantage was probably that the Tang family and Prince Duan did not dare to attack him in the capital. If he did not fight for the throne, he could still live a comfortable life in the capital.
After Emperor Chen deposed King Kang, he met with King Duan soon, which made people wonder.
Obviously, King Kang has been eliminated. Chen Huang originally favored King Duan. This time he no longer has to hesitate about who should be the crown prince.
It's just that he was in his prime and had a crown prince, so there must be suspicion between father and son. However, in a few years, it will almost be a certainty that King Duan will take over the East Palace.
After all, King Kang is out of business. Grandma Huai doesn’t care for her uncle, she is just a green leaf to accompany King Duan. Emperor Chen is not an old fool. If the throne is not passed on to King Duan, how can it be passed on to the sister of this family and the sister of that family?
Zhao Yuan?
Tang Ning sighed and looked at what he was doing. King Kang was eliminated and King Duan became the king. It seemed that he had dug a hole for himself...
Not only that, there are actually rumors outside that he has mastered the Broomstick Star Magic Skill to a very high level. The minister, the Minister, can no longer withstand his bad luck. The reason why King Kang fell from the clouds into the abyss this time is because he hit the Broomstick Star.
The ship was contaminated by bad luck...
Qing'er's soft little hands moved back and forth on his head and asked curiously: "Why are you sighing..."
Tang Ning closed her eyes and asked casually, "Is my uncle a bad guy?"
Qing'er glanced at her mouth and said: "Who said that my uncle is a broom star, and my uncle is a literary star..."
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Xingtang, the broomstick? Why are you so free today and didn't go out to defeat others?"
As soon as Qing'er finished speaking, a voice came from the direction of the door.
Tangning opened her eyes and looked at Princess Anyang who slowly walked in from the door. She felt a little regretful. She really shouldn't have offended her in the past few days.
Never underestimate a woman's stinginess. Tang Ning wondered, if he had spoken properly to Princess Anyang, wouldn't he have gotten into this trouble?
It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, only the consequences of offending a stingy woman.
Who would have thought that Princess Anyang, who was extremely well-known in the upper-class circles of the capital and was known for her nobility, elegance, and generosity, would actually have such a stingy and mean side.
Women, indeed, have more than one side.
Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "Knowing that Tang is a bad guy, the princess still dares to come so close. Aren't you afraid that I will defeat you?"
Princess Anyang looked at him and said disdainfully: "You can try..."
Tang Ning knew that this woman was here to cause trouble, so she didn't bother to talk to her. She closed her eyes and continued to enjoy Qing'er's massage.
Little did he know that his indifferent attitude would make her even more angry in the eyes of Princess Anyang.
Over the years, wherever she went, she was not only admired by the stars, but there were countless people in the capital who wanted to be her friends. Only this hateful person in front of her said the heartless words of "not a friend" to her face. , and also greatly disparaged her appearance, literary talents, skills, and even personality...
Although he didn't say this directly, it didn't sound any different to her.
Tang Ning did not argue with her because she was called a broom star, but Qing'er showed a dissatisfied expression on her face, pursed her lips and said, "My uncle is not a broom star. Everything he does is good, and the people on the street say that My uncle is a good official and the great master of Qingtian..."
Princess Anyang became furious when she saw the little maid behind Tang Ning.
She was not angry that day, but what the little girl said made her extremely embarrassed. What made her even more embarrassed was that what she said was the truth, and she couldn't refute a word - so she became even more angry. Already.
Princess Anyang curled her lips and said, "What does this little girl know..."
Qing'er puffed up her chest and said, "I'm not small at all."
Princess Anyang's eyes swept across her chest, she subconsciously lowered her head and sighed in her heart, although this little girl is young, she is not young at all in places where she should be young, how many years older would she be? She also felt a little envious.
Qing'er looked at her, looked her up and down, and said, "The princess is not young either..."
Princess Anyang was startled, secretly happy in her heart, and asked: "Why is it so small..."
"The butt is not small." Qing'er looked at her and said, "People say that a big butt is good for fertility. The princess will definitely give birth to a big fat boy in the future..."
"You..." Princess Anyang pointed at her, her face flushed. Some parts of her body were indeed plumper than those of ordinary women. This was also her trouble. Even Tang Shui, with whom she had the closest relationship, was not showing up every day. It would be a shame to make such a joke with her and use these words of praise to the village woman to her...
She pointed at Qing'er in embarrassment and was about to speak when Zhong Yi, Tang Yaoyao and others walked in from outside and said in surprise: "Why is the princess here..."
Princess Anyang quickly retracted her outstretched fingers, and the scowl on her face turned into a smile. She returned to her ladylike appearance and chuckled: "I'm here to see Xiao Man..."
Zhao Man stepped forward, took her arm, and said, "Sister Anyang, let's go in and talk..."
Princess Anyang left surrounded by them. Tangning had to admit that she was still very popular among the women in the capital. Zhao Man regarded her as a sister, and Xiaoyi and Xiaoru also regarded her as a friend who had no taboos. .
Qing'er ran forward, knelt down and beat Tang Ning's legs, and said with a smile, "Uncle, the princess is like two people in front of us and Miss Zai..."
Tangning pinched her face and said, "How can you say that the princess has a big butt..."
Qing'er said innocently: "But her butt is really big, don't you think so..."
"I..." Tangning thought for a while and said honestly: "It's quite big..."
After saying that, he pinched Qing'er's face again. I don't know when the little girl Qing'er learned bad things and actually led him astray.
Whether Princess Anyang's butt is big or not is not the point. The point is that Prince Duan has now officially come to the stage. In this way, won't the Tang family have to make further progress?
Tang Mansion.
Prince Duan visited the Tang Mansion today, and the two brothers of the Tang family saw him off in person.
When leaving, Tang Qi looked at him and said, "Although Prince Kang remains in the capital, he is no longer a threat to us. Your Highness does not need to worry. As for Tang Ning..."
Prince Duan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Tangning's affairs anymore. My enemy is not him. There is no need to go against him everywhere."
Tang Qi was stunned and looked at him with some surprise. Before today, Prince Duan had always regarded Tang Ning as a shame to the Tang family and wanted to get rid of her. However, his attitude was completely different now.
King Duan waved his hands to the two of them and said, "Uncles, please go back. I have left."
Tang Huai looked at King Duan's leaving figure, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked slowly: "Do you feel that he is starting to look like a different person?"
Tang Qi looked at him and asked: "Who does he look like?"
Tang Huai watched Prince Duan's carriage start and said, "Like your Majesty."
Tang Qi smiled and said: "He is your Majesty's biological son, so he naturally looks like your Majesty."
"It's different." Tang Huai shook his head and said, "He is starting to look like an emperor..."
Tang Qi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Tang Huai looked at him and asked, "If you were the emperor, would you choose Tangning or the Tang family?"
