King Kang's rebellion is really the biggest thing that happened in the capital recently.
Although his rebellion was eventually suppressed, many people shed blood and had their heads cut off, King Kang was deposed, and the concubine Xian was placed in the cold palace, but in any case, the ceremony carefully prepared by His Majesty became a joke.
After the incident subsided, some things happened that were beyond many people's expectations.
I thought that King Kang's committing such a serious crime would be of great benefit to King Duan. Who would have thought that after King Kang was imprisoned, His Majesty re-employed King Huai, and King Duan received further cold treatment.
As for the reason for this incident, someone finally understood it after asking around.
It turned out that during the ceremony that day, when King Huai rebelled and wanted to kill His Majesty and the other princes, King Duan actually knelt down and begged for mercy, even admitting that he was a pig or a dog. He did not hesitate to imitate the barking of a dog and begged King Kang to spare his life.
…
People can be arrogant, but they cannot be arrogant. King Duan not only has no arrogance, he doesn’t even have bones.
If such a person becomes the emperor of Chen State, who can rest assured?
I'm afraid that when the Western Region or the grassland invades, his first thought will not be to resist, but to surrender. Once such a person takes that position, Da Chen will die sooner or later...
In their view, even if the rebellious King Kang became emperor, it would be much better than the weakling King Duan.
After recognizing the true face of King Duan, everyone was also curious about how the Tang family would feel if they knew that King Duan, whom they had supported for so many years, turned out to be such a thing.
Tang Zhai, Tang Huai and Tang Qi also felt very uncomfortable.
Concubine Tang Hui came from the Tang family, and the Tang family was the mother clan of King Duan. They did not support King Duan, but supported King Kang. I was afraid that King Kang himself would not believe it.
So even if King Duan couldn't help him anymore, they would have no choice but to bite the bullet.
With the strength of the Tang family back then, they could withstand enemies as fierce as tigers and as ferocious as wolves, but they could not defend themselves against their accomplices who were as stupid as pigs.
King Duan's actions at the ceremony had completely disappointed His Majesty, and he began to focus on King Huai and King Run. Through normal channels, it was no longer possible for King Duan to sit in that position.
Tang Zhao sat in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand, and sighed: "If you say he is a pig, he has to prove that he is a dog. There is no difference between a pig and a dog. They are all beasts anyway. How could your majesty let a beast sit on it?"
Where is the throne?"
"Stop talking sarcastically." Tang Qi glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you have a solution? Come on, what else can you do?"
Tang Zhao stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk and think about it. We'll discuss this matter tonight..."
Watching Tang Zhao walk out, Tang Qi's face softened slightly and said: "Prince Kang was imprisoned and Concubine Zhang Xian was thrown into the cold palace. After all, we should get rid of them first."
In fact, something happened during the sacrifice to heaven this time, and King Duan was abandoned, so they did not feel much fluctuation in their hearts.
After all, before this, the Tang family had been prepared for King Duan to be abandoned, and was fully prepared to deal with King Kang.
What they didn't expect was that despite all their efforts, King Kang and the Zhang family didn't suffer much loss. This time, King Kang and the Zhang family's actions put them into a situation that was beyond redemption.
It can be said that the Tang family got a big bargain for nothing.
Everyone thought that King Duan had faded away from the center of power, but they didn't know that the Tang family had dominated the Chen Kingdom for so many years, how could they not leave some backup?
The two chatted for a while, and then saw Tang Zhao walking in from outside again.
Tang Qi glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you going out?"
"I just learned something." Tang Zhao looked at them and said, "Tang Ning has been granted the title of Prime Minister."
When Tang Huai heard this, he clenched his fists and the expression on his face was complicated and unspeakable.
…
Scholars often use the idea of gaining fame, entering the court, and being granted the title of marquis to worship the prime minister as motivation to motivate themselves. In today's era, it is impossible to be granted the title of marquis, unless they can make great contributions like the Marquis of Dingguo.
If the road of becoming a marquis is not feasible, then the only option is to worship the prime minister.
But scholars all over the world want to worship the prime minister, but there are only two prime ministers. In order to maintain the stability of the court, Chen Guo's prime minister will not be changed easily, unless he commits suicide like Prime Minister Feng. Ordinary people want to sit in the position of prime minister.
Unless they wait until they are old enough to become officials, or simply burn them to death in phase.
There has never been a person in history who took the position of prime minister just after passing the age of weak crown.
Now there is.
Your Majesty has just issued an edict today, appointing Marquis Tangning as the right minister of the dynasty. The edict has been plastered all over the capital and will be announced to the world soon.
Before this, the position of Right Prime Minister was vacant.
Although Zhou Shangshu, the former official minister, once sat in this position for half a year, everyone knows that this position is reserved for one person.
Just because he was too young and His Majesty didn't want everyone to have objections, he temporarily appointed him as Minister Zuocheng.
However, officials in the Shangshu Province all knew that although Tang Ning's official position was just Shangshu Zuocheng, he actually exercised the powers of the Right Chancellor.
Now, His Majesty has finally given him this title, and there is not a single rebuttal from the whole court.
Naturally, everyone knew that Tang Ning had put down King Kang's rebellion a few days ago. It was impossible for His Majesty to reward a minor figure without rewarding him, the greatest hero.
I thought that since he was in a high position, His Majesty would not reward him with any reward. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, His Majesty made this decision that shocked the capital.
The Marquis of Dingguo, the Right Chancellor of the DPRK, and the General of the Imperial Guard, he has reached the pinnacle of both civil and military positions and titles. The name Tangning has become a legend in the Chen Kingdom a long time ago.
…
Tang Mansion.
Tang Ning was also caught off guard by this imperial edict. When Chen Huang chatted with him yesterday, he didn't mention this matter at all.
But if he had decided at that time, the topics we talked about with him yesterday would be nothing.
The edict was issued this morning. In the afternoon, the Tang family had already received dozens of guests who came to congratulate them. Later, Tang Ning couldn't take care of it anymore, so she simply told the concierge that if anyone came, just say that he was not here and ask them to put down their gifts.
Just fine.
In the evening, Xiao Jue walked in with Lu Ya holding her belly, looked at Tang Ning from a distance, and said, "Congratulations, Your Excellency..."
After becoming a general, Xiao Jue walked straighter and straighter. Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Same joy, General Xiao..."
This time King Kang rebelled, Zuo Xiaowei obviously became the biggest winner.
Tang Ning was granted the title of Prime Minister, Xiao Jue finally became a general, Chen Zhou also became a general, and the other generals were all promoted to one rank. This achievement will greatly help their future promotions.
Lu Ya went to the backyard to find Tang Yaoyao. Xiao Jue sat opposite Tang Ning and said, "This time, Prince Run is more stable..."
If the Xiao family intends to help King Run, then he is indeed stable. The two ministers on the left and right of the dynasty, and the six ministries are almost his back garden. Coupled with the imperial guards under direct or indirect control, he can even make Emperor Chen abdicate now.
.
Xiao Jue saw his expression was different and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Tang Ning said: "There is also King Huai."
King Kang rebelled, and King Huai benefited greatly. He almost became Emperor Chen's spokesperson in the court. If Emperor Chen finally changed his mind and wanted to pass the throne to King Huai, Zhao Yuan might have to rebel in order to sit on that throne.
Location.
This is not what Tang Ning wants, nor is it what Zhao Yuan wants.
"King Huai?" Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "King Huai is the same as you. He can't even give birth to a son. Your Majesty will pass the throne to him. Who will he pass the throne to in the future? Why don't you think about it...
"
Tang Yaoyao helped Lu Ya out. The latter looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "What are you talking about about the throne?"
"Nothing..." Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "We said that King Kang rebelled, and he has no hope of inheriting the throne this time."
"Does this need to be said?" Lu Ya glanced at him and said, "By the way, I want to go back to the Lu family to live for a while. I miss my mother..."
"Go back to the Lu family?" Xiao Jue stood up suddenly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and then immediately showed a reluctant expression and asked: "How long do you plan to go back?"
The pregnant Lu Ya lived up to her reputation as a witch. These days, she was tortured to the point of going crazy. When she suddenly heard the good news, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.
Lu Ya said: "Ten days and a half month..."
"Ah, it's been so long haha..." Xiao Jue pinched his thigh violently, stopped laughing, sighed, and said, "Then I won't be able to see you for half a month..."
"You can go back with her." Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and said, "When a woman is pregnant, it will be good for the growth of the fetus if her husband is by her side."
The expression on Xiao Jue's face was stunned, she winked at him and asked: "Really?"
"Really." Tangning looked at him and said, "Don't forget, I'm also a doctor... What's wrong with your eyes? They're blinking. Do you want me to take a look?"
