Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh happy event
Chen Huang shook his head and said regretfully: "That's such a pity."
Tangning coughed dryly and said, "Emotional matters cannot be forced after all."
"State affairs are important." Emperor Chen still felt a little regretful and said, "If you can capture Sushen Khan, I won't have to worry about the grassland matter at all."
Tangning didn't know why Chen Huang always wanted him to take down Wanyan Yan. His logic didn't work at all.
Even if Wanyanyan becomes the wife of the Tang family and the grassland is no longer surnamed Wanyan, her surname is still Tang. What does it have to do with the Zhao family?
Of course, such treacherous words cannot be said. Tang Ning remembered something, raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, before I leave, the four princesses want Chen Guo to help them form a heavy cavalry. I dare not make the decision without authorization.
I hereby request your Majesty’s instructions…”
Chen Huang frowned and asked: "Why do they want to ride again?"
Tang Ning explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The Sushen people are on the grassland, and there is a powerful enemy called the Heiman. The Heiman is deep in the grassland, and their combat power is still higher than that of the Sushen clan. If Sushen is defeated by the Heiman,
If it is destroyed, our country, Chen, will face a greater threat than before."
"Help them build heavy cavalry..." Chen Huang murmured, frowned, and said, "I know, I will consider this matter."
Based on Tang Ning's understanding of Chen Huang, as long as he didn't refuse him face to face, they were inseparable.
The court had just calmed down the wolf, and a fierce tiger jumped out. The court was definitely not willing to see it. What they would rather do was drive away tigers and devour wolves, or raise wolves to defend against tigers. They would not face these two head-on.
Of a ferocious beast.
In order to prevent the black barbarians from continuing to grow in power, supporting the Sushen tribe is almost a certainty.
Emperor Chen didn't mention the matter for the time being. He looked at Tang Ning and asked, "You have made such great achievements this time. How do you want me to reward you?"
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Although I have made merit first, I did not report it when I entered the capital. I am guilty later. Now my merits and demerits are equal, so I dare not take any more credit."
Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "You go down first. When the army returns to the main line, I will discuss your merits and reward them one by one."
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "I'm leaving."
Tang Ning walked out of the courtyard, Chen Huang put his hands behind his back and sighed: "Retreat in order to advance and protect yourself wisely. He is only in his early twenties, but he has actually learned the skills of those old foxes in the court..."
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Three years ago, when Mr. Tang first entered Beijing, he showed his sharpness. Now that he is in a high position, he has learned to restrain his sharpness. I think this is growth..."
Emperor Chen glanced at him and asked: "You mean to say that I am an incompetent and foolish king, and I am worried that his great achievements will overwhelm the master, and he will do the same thing as the chickens will be hidden, and the rabbits will die and the dogs will be cooked?"
Wei Jian smiled and said calmly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. What the old slave means is that Mr. Tang also knows that a tree that is as beautiful as the forest wind will be destroyed. When you reach his position, if you take another step forward, that is
Below one person, above ten thousand people, he is still young. There is still a long way to go in the future. Taking one step at a time is the right way. If the steps are too big, it is easy to pull the crotch..."
"If I turn a blind eye to my ministers who have made such great achievements, and refuse to confer titles or rewards, how would I be any different from a foolish emperor?" Emperor Chen smiled coldly and said, "I want to see which evil wind dares to blow!"
…
Tang Ning walked out of the small courtyard. Su Ru Zhongyi and the others had been waiting outside for a long time.
Zhong Yi came up to him with a worried look on his face and asked: "Mr. Sir, your Majesty has not punished you, has he?"
"Don't worry." Tang Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not a jealous woman, so how could you convict an important minister for these things?"
Zhong Yi was relieved, then glanced at him and said, "Master, don't talk nonsense. If your Majesty hears it, you will really be blamed."
Tangning nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go back..."
Emperor Chen refused to wait in the palace and insisted on going out for a wander. The atmosphere of the autumn outing was completely ruined by him.
Fortunately, Zhao Man had been staying in the palace during this period and didn't know he was back. If she came here today, Tang Ning would really be unable to argue.
Speaking of Zhao Man, she had already learned from Zhong Yi about the rumors circulating in the capital in the days after Tang Ning left the capital.
Princess Yiyang is indeed a petty woman. She started stirring up trouble in the capital as soon as Tang Ning left. Unfortunately, before he left, he had already settled matters in the capital. Mr. Xiao intervened, and Princess Yiyang was demoted.
As the Princess of Yiyang, I am currently meditating on my past in a Taoist temple outside the city.
In this incident, the mysterious man hiding in the dark appeared again. Tang Ning didn't know who the person with the ugly calligraphy was, but judging from his several handwritings, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards the Tang family.
.
In addition, in the days since he left Beijing, nothing major happened in Beijing. There are only a few things worth mentioning.
The dispute between King Duan and King Kang has long come to an end. King Duan has been keeping a low profile in recent days. He only ended his cold treatment two months ago. Then he directly claimed to be ill in the palace and did not participate in court affairs. He has not done anything in recent days.
.
The Tang family's method of staying the same to cope with all changes is indeed the most suitable for King Duan.
He is already an invisible prince. All he needs is an imperial edict from Emperor Chen. At this time, anything he can do is superfluous. It would be good not to do anything. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he will be able to wait for this edict sooner or later.
King Kang was injured twice and his body had recovered. Emperor Chen did not leave him idle. Instead, he transferred him to Zongzheng Temple and made him a young minister.
Zongzheng Temple is one of the nine temples, and it is also the most special one among the nine temples. It is mainly responsible for managing the affairs of the royal family. The officials in Zongzheng Temple have more or less connections with the royal family.
Emperor Chen placed King Kang in Zongzheng Temple, which only gave him a reason to stay in the capital. To a certain extent, King Kang had completely lost the possibility of seizing the throne.
Unless Chen Huang's prince dies, the throne will never be his.
King Duan kept a low profile, King Kang lost his qualifications, and King Huai had more activities in the court. He himself was also very talented. He could always successfully complete some of the political affairs assigned to him by Emperor Chen, and was praised many times by hundreds of officials.
In the past few months, Zhao Yuan's figure has also appeared in everyone's sight.
As a prince, he was diligent and studious, studying for four hours every day and not forgetting to cook soup and meals for His Majesty. He was regarded as a model of filial piety in the world and was often praised by the imperial censor.
Bachelor Zhang, who was responsible for teaching Zhao Yuan, also received many praises from Emperor Chen.
Speaking of Archbishop Zhang, since Wang Xiang impeached him in front of His Majesty and all the officials a few months ago, Archbishop Zhang seems to have completely fallen out with Wang Xiang. These days, the two have been at odds with each other in the court, often
Because of a trivial matter, I was so angry that my Majesty tried to persuade them many times to no avail, so I left them alone.
Who in the court is not an old fox? Although he is not an emperor, he still understands the emperor's mind.
Wang Xiang is the only prime minister in the dynasty, with power in his hands, one person is subordinate to ten thousand people. The Zhang family is a century-old scholarly family, controlling the Ministry of Rites, and has a profound influence in the officialdom. It is better for these two families to oppose each other than to unite.
More reassuring.
Tang Ning understood some of this news. As far as he was concerned, as long as there were no major changes, everything was going in a good direction.
After leaving Tiantianju, Tangning did not go home, but went to Xiao's house first.
Although it would be more meaningful for Xiao Jue and the others to tell Mr. Xiao personally about this matter, since he has already mentioned it in front of Emperor Chen, it would be better to go to the Xiao family.
Xiao Mansion.
Mr. Xiao looked at him and said in surprise: "When did General Tang come back?"
"I just came back two days ago." Tangning smiled and said, "It may take some time for Xiao Jue and the others to arrive in Beijing..."
"Sit down." Mr. Xiao stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Fu, serve tea."
"I won't sit down." Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "I came here today because I have a happy event to tell General Xiao."
"A happy event?" Lu Ding walked in from the door, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "What happy event?"
