As a legitimate prince, Zhao Yuan still has a lot to learn. After all, so many people are working behind his back to pave the way for him to build a bridge. He can't just make soup and pick up girls every day and want to reach the top of his life easily.
.
He should walk his own path and coax his girls by himself. This is his career, not just a joke. Tangning hopes he can understand this as soon as possible.
During the period of the cessation of the dynasty, the Minister of Rites was changed, and the executioner of Gyeonggi Province was also changed. Since the Zhang family and the Song family did not have any political parties, and they did not participate in the fight for the heir, the attention that these two things could gain was limited, even if
It did not cause much repercussions in the court, and the common people knew very little about it.
In the current situation, King Duan still has the upper hand. For him, the calmer the court, the better, because if there are no accidents, it is only a matter of time before he takes the position of prince.
…
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrives in a few days. According to tradition, after the Yuan Dynasty, the new year will begin.
King Huai raised no objections to Tang Ning's proposal for the women's martial arts competition and had people start making arrangements. Tang Ning also enjoyed her leisure time. She visited relatives and friends these days, accompanied Yaoyao to visit the Ling family, and then went to Luzhou one after another.
The family, the Xiao family and several other familiar generals.
Two days ago, he went to Han Mansion and had a few drinks with Marquis Wu Lie. Now he was the only one left in the Han family. He usually lived in the army, and together with the soldiers, Tang Ning visited the house several times before meeting him.
By the time he returned home.
Today he was going to Tiantianju to meet two friends. Xu Qingyang and Zhang Yansheng had just returned from Quzhou. Tang Ning made an appointment with them to have dinner at Tiantianju, as a way of welcoming them.
The two of them were forced to leave the capital because they offended Princess Yiyang. After Tang Ning returned from Jiangnan, she transferred them back through the Ministry of Personnel.
During the time Tang Ning was in Jiangnan, Prime Minister Feng fell. Including Yushi Zhongcheng, many officials from Jiangnan factions in Yushitai were wiped out by Emperor Chen, leaving many positions vacant. When Tang Ning made arrangements, she specially left them
Got two.
Xu Qingyang re-entered the Censor's Office and was promoted one level. He is now the Censor. Zhang Yansheng was not at the Censor's Office originally, but Tang Ning also arranged for him to join the Censor's Office. Anyway, they are used to being together, and they can interact with each other in the same department.
Take care of.
The official position of Shi Yushi is only from the sixth rank, but he is not lenient at all when impeaching high-ranking officials in the court. With Tang Ning in the capital, the troubles caused by impeaching some important figures will never happen to them again.
.
Natural home.
Xu Qingyang and Zhang Yansheng stood by the lake, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around them, and they both felt a sense of sadness in their hearts.
"Two years..." Xu Qingyang sighed and said, "I thought I would never be able to return to the capital in this life."
Zhang Yansheng felt the same way and nodded: "I'm finally back. I no longer have to buy so many clothes, and I no longer have to worry about clothes not being able to dry..."
Xu Qingyang subconsciously touched his dry clothes and sighed: "It's better to be in the capital..."
The lake scenery in Tianranju is good. When the weather is suitable, many people will go boating in the lake. Now that the Lantern Festival has not passed and the weather is still a bit cold, most people stand on the waterside pavilion in the lake to watch the scenery.
At the pavilion in the center of the lake, the guests who originally enjoyed the lake view were kicked out. Due to their identities, they could only dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Princess Yiyang was sitting in the pavilion, and a maid took the candied fruit from the dish and carefully fed it into her mouth.
She looked good. Ever since Tang Ning came back from Jiangnan, he had never caused any trouble for her. After being frightened for a while, she gradually realized that he seemed to have really forgotten about her, except for avoiding Tang Ning on weekdays.
Besides, he has returned to his previous unscrupulousness in doing things.
After occupying the pavilion in the middle of the lake, she looked at the lakeside scenery with satisfaction. Her eyes moved to somewhere, her brows furrowed and she said: "What are those two people doing? It's really a sight to stand there. Go and drive them away."
…”
A steward of the Princess Mansion looked over, his expression was startled at first. After taking a closer look, he said with some surprise: "Princess, that person is not the censor back then..."
Princess Yiyang glanced at him and asked: "What censor?"
The steward stepped forward and immediately said: "Princess, have you forgotten? More than a year ago, it was he who impeached the princess in the Golden Palace, causing her to be reprimanded by His Majesty..."
"What, it's him!" Princess Yiyang still had some impression of this matter. She stood up suddenly, looked over and said angrily: "Wasn't he kicked out of the capital? Who asked him to come back!"
She has been in charge of the capital for many years, but no censor has ever dared to impeach her in front of all the courtiers, causing her to be reprimanded by her father and lose face in front of everyone.
She always wanted to avenge this kind of humiliation, so she managed to demote the young censor who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth to the south of the Yangtze River. He would never return to Beijing again in this life. Unexpectedly, only a year later, he actually came back again.
Met him in the capital...
During these days, Princess Yiyang was bullied terribly by Tang Ning. For several months, she was not allowed to eat meat, see non-vegetarian food, or have sex...
She had been simmering with anger for a long time and had nowhere to vent it, but she didn't dare to trouble Tang Ning, fearing that he would bleed her again, but she could still knead a little censor at will.
Arranging servants to handle this matter was not her style. Princess Yiyang stood up and gritted her teeth: "Let's go over and have a look!"
…
Natural residence, under the trees by the lake.
Zhang Yansheng clicked his tongue and said: "Brother Tang's ability is not only in the court, but also in the inner chamber. When he was in Lingzhou, the most talented woman could not escape his hands. When he came to the capital, the most beautiful woman was also taken by him.
In the mansion…”
Xu Qingyang sighed and said: "Brother Tang already has four wives and concubines in his family, but you and I haven't married yet..."
Zhang Yansheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Why should a man worry about not having a wife? You and I have been together in adversity for so long, supporting and taking care of each other, and we can live a good life as well?"
Xu Qingyang smiled and said: "Fortunately, I still have you Yansheng..."
Before he finished speaking, he glanced somewhere inadvertently, and his expression suddenly changed.
Zhang Yansheng noticed the change in his expression and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"Let's go!" Xu Qingyang said on the ground, grabbed his wrist, and strode forward.
Several guards from the princess's palace stopped in front of them. The steward of the princess's palace looked at them and asked with a half-smile: "You two, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you know that you have to salute when you see the princess?"
Xu Qingyang and Zhang Yansheng turned their heads and looked at Princess Yiyang who was slowly walking towards them. They looked at each other helplessly and both bowed and said, "I have met Princess Yiyang."
Princess Yiyang looked at Xu Qingyang and asked with a sneer: "What's your name?"
Xu Qingyang's face turned bitter, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to serve as an official, Xu Qingyang."
Princess Yiyang looked at him and mocked: "Xu Yushi, long time no see. How are you living in Jiangnan these days?"
Xu Qingyang could naturally hear the sarcasm in Princess Yiyang's words, and smiled and said: "Thanks to the princess, it's very good..."
Princess Yiyang looked at him and asked: "Since you have lived a good life in Jiangnan, what are you doing back in Beijing this time?"
Xu Qingyang said: "Back to the princess, the Ministry of Personnel has transferred her official position back to Yushitai."
Princess Yiyang showed a trace of ridicule on her face and said: "I think there is no shortage of people in Yushitai, but there will be a war in the northwest. If you are in Yushitai, you might as well go to the northwest. Talents like you are needed more in the northwest.
…”
The northwest is the most chaotic place in Chen State. The safety of officials in the northwest cannot be guaranteed. This is a naked attack. Xu Qingyang lowered his head and said nothing. However, Zhang Yansheng was not angry for a moment. He took a step forward and was about to speak, but was
Xu Qingyang stopped him and stood behind him.
Xu Qingyang raised his head, chuckled and said, "This is the arrangement of the staff, lower officials cannot make the decision."
"This is simple." Princess Yiyang looked at him, without concealing the sarcasm on her face, and said: "You go back and pack your things, I will help you say hello to the Minister of Civil Affairs, and you will be able to set off in a few days...
…”
"It just so happens that Xiaguan is going to the Ministry of Personnel soon. If the princess has something to say to Fang Shangshu, why not let Xiaguan convey it to you?" Tang Ning came over from behind, looked at Princess Yiyang, and said with a smile, "Princess looks good.
"The official plans to go to the princess's mansion tomorrow and help the princess check her health. What does the princess think?"
Princess Yiyang's hair stood up when she heard this familiar voice. She looked back and her face immediately turned pale.
What he called a physical examination was to take her blood or prick her with a needle. This was not an examination, it was clearly torture!
She held her head and said in a trembling voice: "I, my complexion is not good, I'm dizzy and nauseous, I'm going back to recuperate, if anything happens, I'll talk about it after I get better..."
Tang Ning looked at her and said, "That's what the princess said last time. The dizziness and nausea may be anemia. I also know medical skills. Why don't I help the princess to see..., princess, princess, don't leave!"
