Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh resignation
Concubine Hui of the Tang Dynasty hanged herself, the brothers of the Tang family died, and Prince Duan was removed from the position of prince and crown prince, and was imprisoned in the palace.
His Majesty has put down his political affairs and concentrated on recuperating from illness. All court affairs, big and small, are decided by the two prime ministers.
In a short period of time, so many things happened in the capital. Even after several days, the mood of everyone in the capital has not calmed down.
In half a year, Prince Duan's life was full of twists and turns. From being abandoned by His Majesty, to being taken seriously again, and being crowned the crown prince, to being demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the palace, it only took half a year.
No one expected that the Tang family and Tang Huifei would be so bold, intending to commit regicide and rebellion. They rose up and fell down because of this. From then on, there was no more Concubine Hui in the palace, and there was only one Tang family in Beijing.
Taking a detailed look at the past of King Duan, after the Prime Minister of Tang Dynasty left the capital, he bucked the trend and dominated the court. Within half a month of Prime Minister Tang's return to the capital, he went from being the crown prince to a prisoner. If we push the time forward a few more
Years ago, from the moment that young man named Tang Ning stepped into the capital, the once prosperous Tang family and Prince Duan were gradually declining.
The Tang family, Prime Minister Feng, King Kang, King Duan... all his former opponents have returned to dust, but his power has reached its peak.
Once the incident of King Duan's rebellion was over, the momentum of Right Chancellor Tang Ning had reached a terrifying level. There is no doubt that after His Majesty let go of government affairs and rested in peace and recuperation, Right Chancellor Tang Ning had become the true master of the court.
In the Yangshen Temple, Tang Ning bowed to Emperor Chen on the bed and said, "I see your Majesty."
Since he stopped taking Anshen Incense, Chen Huang's complexion has improved a lot, and he looks more energetic.
But Tang Ning knew that his body had actually suffered irreversible damage. In the coming days, if he ignored court affairs and just focused on maintaining his health, he might still have ten years of good life.
But if he still wants to be a hard-working emperor, within a year, his body will be exhausted. By then, even if Mr. Sun comes, he will not be able to save him.
"Excuse me." Chen Huang waved to him and said, "Thanks to you for what happened this time."
Tang Ning said: "This is what I should do."
A trace of relief appeared in Emperor Chen's eyes, and he said: "I originally wanted to make Prince Duan the crown prince, but he has committed such a treasonous crime, so naturally he can no longer take on this important responsibility. I want to pass on the throne to him in a few years."
Yuan'er, Yuan'er is honest, smart and kind, and if he hadn't been too young, I would have passed the throne to him now..."
After King Duan's defeat, Chen Huang had no choice. Tang Ning was not surprised that he made such a decision.
At this time, Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "If it weren't for you this time, I would have gone to see the late emperor. I wanted to reward you, but after thinking about it, I couldn't think of anything to reward you...
…”
Tang Ningwen was the right prime minister, Wu was the general, and his title reached the top of the powerful hierarchy. The next step was to become the king.
It's a pity that after the founding of Chen State, there was an ancestral precept that the opposite sex should not be crowned king. Emperor Chen thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of rewarding him with anything.
He has no shortage of money, and he cannot be promoted in official positions. Over the years, he has made great achievements one after another, so that now he has no rewards or titles...
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "I have a request, and I beg your Majesty to agree to it."
Chen Huang looked at him and said: "Go ahead, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Tang Ning said: "I beg your Majesty to allow me to resign and return to my hometown."
The three-year period with Li Tianlan has come to an end, and Tang Ning is planning to take Zhao Man away with her when she returns to Beijing.
I just didn't expect that the matter in Beijing would be settled so quickly. Now that Concubine Hui is dead and the Tang family is dead, no one can stop Zhao Yuan from taking that position. It's time for him to leave.
Tang Ning has no interest in government affairs. Even if he is a prime minister or a general, he has no attraction to him.
What's more, he has reached the pinnacle of what a minister can do, and if he goes further, he will kick Emperor Chen down from that position and sit on it himself.
"What?" Chen Huang heard this. After being stunned for a moment, his brows were already furrowed and he asked, "You said you want to resign?"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "I have been running around all these years, and I am exhausted physically and mentally. I just want to spend the rest of my life spending time with my family, and I no longer have the intention to attend court..."
"The rest of your life?" Chen Huang glared at him angrily and said, "You have just passed your first birthday and your hair has not even grown. What do you want to tell me about the rest of your life?"
Tang Ning showed an embarrassed look on her face and said, "The ministers are all here..."
"Okay, I know you have worked hard. You have been running around here and there in the past few years and have done a lot of things for me. You don't have much time to spend with your family. From now on, I will give you one year's leave. If one year is not enough, I will give you two or three years.
, Three years is not enough, just five years..." Chen Huang glanced at him, waved his hand, and said: "When Yuan'er comes to power, I still want you to assist him..."
Tang Ning did not insist anymore. He knew that Chen Huang's words were a sign of great tolerance and even connivance towards him.
But Tang Ning never thought about spending her whole life in Chen Guo. Everything he owed Chen Huang has been repaid to him. As for how Chen Guo will develop in Zhao Yuan's hands in three to five years, it all depends on him.
It's up to you.
"Is there anything else?" Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "If it's still about resignation, don't tell me anymore."
Since Emperor Chen did not agree to resign, Tang Ning stayed at Yangshen Temple for a while and then stood up to leave.
Chen Huang leaned on the head of the bed, opened his closed eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said: "How can it be so easy to lie to my favorite daughter and run away?"
Tang Mansion Villa.
A room somewhere in the inner courtyard.
Tang Ning held Zhao Man in her arms and told her what had just happened.
Zhao Man's face showed a nervous look and asked: "My father doesn't agree, what should I do..."
Although her father had already acquiesced to her and Tangning's affairs, she also wanted to be his wife in an open and honest manner like her sisters, instead of being secretive just holding him like she was doing now.
Tangning held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have already planned it."
Resigning was just a test for Chen Huang. It would be great if he agreed. If he didn't agree, Tang Ning had many backup plans.
With his current ability, it is not difficult to take Zhao Man out of the capital secretly.
When Zhao Man heard his words, she immediately felt at ease. She put her hands around his neck, raised her head and gently touched Tang Ning's lips, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you for saving my father."
"Who made him my father-in-law?" Tangning looked at her, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "I also want to thank him for giving birth to such a beautiful and lovely daughter."
Zhao Man blinked her watery eyes and looked at him. Although her face turned redder, her heart was very happy. Whenever her sweetheart said these words, her heart felt sweet...
So she wrapped her arms tighter and raised her head again, but this time it wasn't gentle.
"Brother Tangning..."
Fang Xinyue ran in from the outside and saw the situation inside the house. She immediately covered her eyes, her big eyes shining between her fingers, and said repeatedly: "I didn't see anything..."
Zhao Man blushed and ran out. Tangning stood up, cleared her throat to cover up her embarrassment, and asked, "Why didn't you go find Xiaoxiao to play with?"
Thinking of the situation just now, a blush appeared on Fang Xinyue's face and she said, "Dad and uncle are here, waiting for you outside..."
After saying that, she ran out quickly.
Fang Xinyue and Xiao Xiaoqing are sisters, and Tang Ning has always treated her as a younger sister. She can go in and out of the inner courtyard at will in the Tang family, no different from her master.
Tang Ning didn't feel anything before, but after today's incident, she felt that if she did anything in the room from now on, she should remember to close the door.
He straightened his clothes and walked out of the inner courtyard. Brother Fang Hong was already waiting in the hall.
