Since Wang Xiang visited the Tang family yesterday, he did not come to Shangshu Province for two whole days, nor did he go to court.
He is the Prime Minister, the boss of the Shangshu Province. If he doesn't come to work, no one can take care of him. However, the Shangshu Province already has one less prime minister. As a result, the tasks on Tang Ning's shoulders will be heavier. She reads the excerpts every day and feels like vomiting.
They are all trivial things, which are annoying to look at, but there is no point in not looking at them...
The Prime Minister has been sitting in this position for more than ten years and facing this every day is not an easy thing.
On the third day, Tang Ning met Wang Xiang again in Shangshu Province.
He looked more haggard than a few days ago, but his eyes were still very sharp. Tangning looked at him and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Prime Minister Wang? Is he sick?"
"I am in very good health." Wang Xiang glanced at him and asked, "Does Mr. Tang know how to play chess?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "I just understand a little bit."
Wang Xiang said: "Want to play a game with me?"
Tangning hesitated and said, "It's office time now. This is not good. All my colleagues are watching..."
Shangshu Youcheng stood up holding his stomach and said: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I want to go to the toilet. Mr. Wu, you didn't say you wanted to go to the toilet just now. Why don't we come together..."
Zuo Si Langzhong was surprised and said: "When did I say that I won't go? I want to watch Wang Xiang and Mr. Tang play chess..."
Youji Langzhong held his shoulders, dragged him out, and said: "Let's go, we have to go sooner or later..."
Several people came out of the office. The doctor from the left opened the hand of the doctor from the right and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Zhao, what are you doing? Wang Xiang is very good at chess. I still want to learn two skills..."
"Learn to use both hands?" Youji Langzhong glanced at him and said: "You have only been in this position for a few years and you are tired of it. Do you want to go to the northwest to practice?"
Zuo Si Langzhong was startled and asked: "What do you mean?"
"There is something wrong between the Prime Minister and Mr. Tang, didn't you notice?" Youji Langzhong took a look inside and said, "Do you think you are older than the Prime Minister, or can you defeat Mr. Tang?"
Hearing this, Zuo Si Langzhong couldn't help but trembled and never mentioned playing chess again.
Yousi Langzhong looked at Shangshu Youcheng and asked: "Won't Wang Xiang start a fight with Mr. Tang?"
"Probably not..." Shangshu Youcheng shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "Master Tang is not such an imprudent person."
After he said this, he didn't even believe it himself.
He almost scared the king to death a few days ago, thinking that his time was running out and he was in constant panic. There was nothing more inappropriate than scaring the prime minister of a country.
In the Shangshu Yamen, Wang Xiang brought the chessboard, Tang Ning held the white stones, and Wang Xiang held the black stones.
Zhong Yi had taught him how to play Go before, but that was when they were in Lingzhou, and the two of them passed the time playing Go when they had no intention of sleeping during the long nights. Tang Ning had never studied it carefully, and was only half-skilled.
Not long after the first game, he was killed by Wang Xiang and was thrown into disgrace, and he had to admit defeat in a miserable manner.
After that, she played four games in a row, but Tang Ning didn't win any of them. Although winning or losing in chess is not the key, she still doesn't feel comfortable if she keeps losing. After the last game, Tang Ning packed up the chess pieces and said, "I'm not good at playing chess.
If Wang Xiang thinks about it, he might as well find someone else..."
Prime Minister Wang collected the chess pieces calmly and said: "Master Tang, don't be too humble. Master Tang's chess skills are superb, and the game is so big that I can't even match it..."
This was the first time that Tang Ning encountered someone who would win chess when he won, and would still sarcastically mock others after winning chess.
The old man Wang Xiang always meant something when he spoke. He meant one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. Tangning didn't like talking to such people the most. He was disgusted by reading the memorials these days. When Wang Xiang came, he
I don’t plan to come to Shangshu Province anymore.
Anyway, in addition to here, he also has the official department and the cavalry camp to go to. Emperor Chen's 10,000 heavy cavalry had been formed two months ago. After the martial arts competition is over, he will rush to the northwest with Wu Jinshi.
Tang Ning didn't know before that Wanyan's life on the grassland was not easy either.
The reason why they repeatedly harassed and attacked Chen Chu was because they had been squeezed out by others and had no place to stay. The Sushen people were not the only nomadic tribes on the grassland. The largest tribe among them was a tribe called the Black Barbarians.
, in terms of combat power, they are not inferior to the Sushen people, and they live deep in the grassland. The Wanyan tribe provokes Chen Chu and Heiman at the same time. It can be said that they are attacked from both sides and have a very difficult life.
This is good news for Chen State. Across the Sushen people, Heiman poses no threat to Chen State. With Heiman's restraint, Wanyan Department cannot devote all its energy to deal with Chen Chu.
On the contrary, the threat to them from the Western Region was greater. Xiaowan didn't know what happened in the past three years, and he expanded like crazy after taking medicine. Many small countries in the Western Region sent signals to Chen Guo for help. Emperor Chen and the court were very interested in this.
He wanted to unite many small countries in the Western Region to unite and attack Xiaowan from both inside and outside.
In dealing with Wanyanbu, they tasted the benefits of supporting a puppet and planned to use the same tactics to deal with Xiaowan.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the matters on the grassland should be resolved first so that Chen Guo can spare enough energy.
Both of these things need to be planned slowly and smoothly, but something unexpected happened in the court today.
In the early morning court, Prime Minister Wang, who was usually gentle, went against the norm and impeached Academician Zhang with fierce words.
The content of his impeachment is also very strange. There are so many big and small affairs in the court every day. As the prime minister, he only impeached Academician Zhang for neglecting to discipline King Run. Academician Zhang has lived a clean life. How can he bear this grievance?
Two old men over fifty almost got into a fight in the court hall.
Later, after His Majesty persuaded him, the two of them stopped fighting. Academician Zhang walked away, but Zhao Yuan was caught by him and had to carry books for two hours. When he came to Tang's house, his voice was hoarse.
Zhao Yuan looked at Tang Ning and said helplessly: "Sir, help me, the bachelor is crazy. He wants me to read for four hours every day and watch it myself..."
Tang Ning didn't know what the grudge between Wang Xiang and Academician Zhang was, and he wanted to use this trivial matter to make him lose face in front of the civil and military officials. However, it was enough to make Academician Zhang force Zhao Yuan to spend four hours studying every day.
Not entirely a bad thing.
The throne is so important, but it can't be obtained by boiling a few bowls of soup and picking up a few girls.
Jian took the wrong path and found a different path just to allow him to overtake at a corner when he was lagging behind at the start. Which step he can reach in the end still depends on his own strength.
Even he had to wonder whether Wang Xiang did this on purpose.
Tang Ning looked at him and said regretfully, "Four hours is not much. During these days, you and Grand Master Zhang should study hard, and don't forget to make soup for your father every day..."
Zhao Yuan's body trembled, his face turned pale, and he felt that life was gloomy and his future was bleak.
In the Fang family, Fang Hong asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Prime Minister Wang? Has Academician Zhang offended him?"
Fang Zhe smiled and said: "It's okay to let Academician Zhang pay more attention to King Run. He can only make soup and make women happy, but he can't be a good emperor..."
Zhang family.
Zhang Yan, the Minister of Rites, looked angry and said: "The king has gone too far to deceive others. Have my Zhang family ever offended their Wang family?"
Academician Zhang, who was furious in the court, calmed down at this moment, with a thoughtful look on his face, and murmured: "The man named Wang never offends people easily. What does it mean this time..."
