Tang Ning has been in Shangshu Province for the past few days, reviewing countless memorials every day. She seems to be living a very fulfilling life, but she feels empty in her heart.
In three years, the Tang family fell from the clouds to dust, and there was no chance of a comeback.
The murderer of that day has been killed. Tang Huai Tang Qi, from a high-ranking official in the dynasty, has become an ordinary citizen, ashamed to show his face in front of everyone. For a family that once dominated the court,
They paid a painful and almost unacceptable price.
With his great revenge being avenged, he felt a little relieved, but it was very limited.
In his current view, even the Tang family in its peak period was nothing more than this. Kicking the already declining Tang family out of the circle of powerful people would not gain much sense of existence.
Hatred always only occupies a small corner in his heart. Tang Shui is right when he says that people cannot always live in hatred. In Tang Ning's view, there are many things in this world that are far more important than hatred.
many.
Thinking of Tang Shui, Tang Ning felt a little lucky. Fortunately, when he returned to Beijing this time, she had already taken her mother to Jiangnan to relax. By the time they came back, the Tang family's affairs had long been settled.
They were born in the Tang family and grew up in the Tang family. Unlike Tang Ning, they all have a more or less difficult to let go of their former family.
It was time to take a break today. Tangning didn't go anywhere, she just stayed at home.
Fang Xinyue came to see Xiaoxiao again today. She didn't know where the old beggar took her to practice this time, but she hasn't come back yet.
Without the two of them chattering in her ears, Tang Ning felt that the house was much deserted.
The court hall was not deserted at all, with one wave rising after another.
These days, King Duan, who never leaves the house or takes a step forward, and who doesn't often appear in public, doesn't know what's wrong with him, so he walks in front of people again.
In fact, everyone has almost acquiesced that King Duan is the crown prince chosen by His Majesty. Therefore, some officials in the court have deliberately been close to King Duan since King Kang was deposed. Within a short time, people gathered around him.
Many officials and powerful people.
It is precisely because of this that even without the Tang family, Prince Duan's power in the dynasty has been as stable as Mount Tai.
In the past few days, Prince Duan and his subordinates suddenly went out of their way and began to attack Prince Kang and Prince Huai for various inexplicable reasons, which puzzled many people, including Tang Ning.
King Kang had been excluded from the imperial power. Although King Huai was often active in the court, judging from Emperor Chen's attitude towards him, he did not list King Huai as a candidate for the crown prince at all. King Huai had no way to deal with King Duan.
threatening.
Under such circumstances, King Duan suddenly became mad, like a mad dog, barking at King Kang and King Huai, grabbing and biting whoever they could. The most intense fight between him and Prince Kang was nothing more than this.
Regarding this matter, officials in the court generally believed that King Duan would have to kill all the princes in the capital in order to feel at ease. With his ruthlessness, the royal family might repeat the same mistakes it made more than 20 years ago.
It was already miserable enough for King Kang to transform from a prince to an heir. He had to face so many impeachments every day, and he was obviously a little tired of dealing with it, and he looked very haggard.
As for King Huai, he had not come to court for several days. He neither refuted nor responded to King Duan's impeachment attack.
Today's morning court, King Huai had to come.
Because what we want to discuss today is the official position of Guozi Jijiu. The grade of Guozi Jijiu is not low. Although the real power is limited to the one-third acre of the Imperial College, the flowers in the Imperial College are all Chen Guowei's flowers.
The mainstay of the palace, the place where the emperor of the country holds the wine ceremony, is not something that just anyone can sit at.
The Imperial College was originally under the control of King Duan. In a political struggle a few years ago, King Kang won it over. Although Tang Qi was transferred there later, he was suppressed by King Duan everywhere. The control of the Imperial College was still in the hands of King Kang.
superior.
Later, King Kang fell, and the Imperial College was taken over by King Huai. Not long after, Tang Qi was transferred again. The new Imperial College had not yet been determined. All affairs of the Imperial College were handled by King Huai. Naturally, he would take care of such important matters.
Cannot be absent.
In today's morning court, King Duan still launched a fierce attack on King Kang and King Huai, some of which were faultfinding, and some of which were fabricated facts. In the end, even Emperor Chen couldn't help it and told him to shut up.
Wait to go.
The position of offering wine in the Imperial College ended early, and the officials did not discuss the outcome.
The reason is that since Tang Ning came to the Sixth Ministry, the transfer of senior officials has become a common thing in Chen Guo's court. A large number of senior officials have been dismissed, and corresponding officials have been promoted.
Guozi Jijiu is from the official position of the third rank, and you are qualified to sit in this position. Before that, you must be at least the fourth rank official seal.
Nowadays, senior officials perform their respective duties, and demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall can no longer be done. Compared with the affairs of the Imperial College, the work of those senior officials is obviously more important.
So Emperor Chen simply put the matter aside and left the affairs of the Imperial College to King Huai to take care of together.
When she was leaving the court, Tang Ning happened to walk out of the hall with King Huai. King Huai glanced at him and said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated Mr. Tang on his promotion to the title."
Tangning said politely: "It's all because of His Majesty's love."
Among the three princes, although he had no friendship with King Huai, he was not as incompatible as King Kang and King Duan.
Perhaps because the two of them had something in common, he could never feel any ill feelings toward King Huai.
For example, both of them have relatively salty tempers, both dote on their wives, and both have been married for several years without children...
Of course, the reason Tang Ning doesn't have children is because the Tang family may have big changes in the next two years. He doesn't plan to have one for the time being. It has been so long since they married King Huai, and the couple is so loving that they still don't have a son and a half. It may be purely because of physical problems.
No matter what, a man who dotes on his wife is usually not that bad. This is probably an important reason why Tangning never dislikes him.
"Although my father does have great love for Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang deserves it all." King Huai smiled and walked out of the palace side by side with Tang Ning, but did not say anything more.
At the entrance of the palace, Prince Duan looked gloomy. Looking at Prince Huai who was chatting and laughing with Tang Ning, he gritted his teeth and said, "So it's you!"
…
For some unknown reason, King Duan was like a mad dog a few days ago, grabbing King Kang and King Huai and biting him fiercely. In the past two days, he let King Kang go and increased his firepower against King Huai.
Emperor Chen has given many tasks to King Huai in the past two years. Some of the less important departments in the court are all handled by King Huai. King Duan can't do anything to King Huai, so he points the finger directly at the ministries under him.
Official, many people in the DPRK have been avoiding him like the plague in recent days.
Minister of Secretariat, in recent days, countless impeachment papers have been handed over from King Duan. Tang Ning saw them and threw them aside.
Shangshu Youcheng came over with a bunch of papers, and finally couldn't help it, and complained: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang has been crazy these days. Did King Huai offend him again?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "Who knows..."
In the eyes of everyone, Prince Duan is now no different from a mad dog. Who can understand the thoughts of a mad dog? Maybe he just said a few more words to him after King Huai went to court that day. This is not impossible...
