Chapter 904 of the main volume of Ruyi Little Man: Xiao Jue's Entrustment to Prince Hui Concubine Nearly half a month after the regicide case was settled, Tang Ning only did one thing.
He went to visit the officials and dignitaries he knew well in Beijing one by one. He left Beijing this time and didn't know when he would come back. Now, Chen's country was gradually becoming more stable at home and abroad. Except for the Western Regions, there were no threats.
Emperor Chen's request to him was to wait until King Run ascended the throne and he would come back to be his prime minister. Of course Tang Ning agreed wholeheartedly. If he didn't stabilize him first, he might not even be able to leave the capital.
The three-year agreement with Li Tianlan has expired. Tangning plans to send them to Qiandi before leaving for Chu. Although this will take a lot of detours, at least he will have nothing to worry about.
Anyway, he didn't want them to stay in the capital. The situation in this place was changing day by day. Someone might try to usurp the throne again, but they would still be safe in Guizhou.
He went to visit General Xiao today. Inside the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Tangning said: "There will still be some time."
Xiao Jue continued to ask: "Are you coming back?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe."
Xiao Jue nodded and said: "It's okay to leave, it's not interesting to stay in the capital for a long time."
Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue in surprise. Based on his understanding of this guy, he heard that he was leaving Beijing and that there was a small chance of him coming back in the future. Even if he didn't try hard to persuade him to stay, he should at least express his reluctance.
Xiao Jue didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and changed the subject: "Since you are leaving, can you help me do a few things before leaving?"
When his friend was about to leave, the first thing he thought of was to ask him to do something. This was not what a human would say at all.
Xiao Jue, who got married and had children, is no longer the young man who valued love and righteousness.
Tangning was a little angry and asked angrily: "What happened?"
Xiao Jue looked at him and asked: "General Zuo Yinqi, the Zhonglang of the Guard, do you still remember him?"
"I have a bit of an impression." Tangning thought for a while and said, "Is it the one who was implicated by Prince Duan?"
He didn't know most of the generals in the Sixteenth Guards, but he still had some impressions of General Zuo Yinqi.
The regicide case of King Duan and Concubine Tang Hui affected not only King Duan and the Tang family, but also all the officials and dignitaries in the court who had contact with King Duan were affected to varying degrees.
As for the generals of the Sixteenth Guards, they are naturally the top priority of the investigation. Anyone who is related to the Tang family will be hunted down to the end. This Zuo Yinqi Wei Zhonglang general is a member of the Tang family who can beat relatives with eight poles.
, but still suffered an unreasonable disaster in that incident.
Xiao Jue nodded and said: "Because of King Duan's incident, he was demoted from Zhonglang General to Captain. The position of Zhonglang General is now vacant. Lu Teng is qualified for this position regardless of ability or qualifications.
…”
Tangning finally understood what Xiao Jue meant, looked at him and asked, "Do you want Lu Teng to be the general of the Yinqi Guard?"
Xiao Jue looked at him, sighed, and said, "You know, I'm just a brother-in-law, so I can't let him continue to hang out in the army..."
Tangning said in surprise: "You are the General of Ximen Guard. Wouldn't it be a simple matter to transfer him to Ximen Guard?"
"I am already a general. If I transfer Lu Teng to the rank of general, what will the officials think of it? What will your majesty think of it?" Xiao Jue glanced at him and said, "Is this your majesty's Ximen guard, or is this a general?"
My west doorman?"
What Xiao Jue said makes sense. The imperial court has always been very careful about the intention of dividing the imperial army if a single family dominates the imperial army. The reason why King Huai transferred Ling Yun out of the Yulin Guard was because of this consideration.
Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Since Lu Teng has enough qualifications, he can just leave this matter to the military department, so why do you need to do so much?"
"The Ministry of War?" Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "It's okay to join the Ministry of War, but doesn't it give others a chance to gossip? Even if I agree, my father-in-law will not agree."
Only then did Tang Ning realize that if Lu Ding, the Minister of War, promoted his son Lu Teng to be the lieutenant general of the Yinqi Guard, it would not be like that in the eyes of others.
After all, Lu Teng had been with him for a while. Tangning nodded and said, "I'll go to Shangshu Province tomorrow."
Xiao Jue immediately said: "Then you can help me handle a few other things by the way. In addition to Lu Teng, you can also help promote Liu Jun, Mu Yu, Huang Yulong and others..."
Helping one person is also helping, and helping three or four is also helping. Tangning didn't care and asked, "Should we also place them in Zuo Yinqi Guard?"
"This is not good." Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "The guards at the east gate, the guards at the north gate, and the guards at the south gate, arrange them separately to prevent them from forming cliques in the army and being disliked by the court..."
After getting married, Xiao Jue's mind was obviously much better than before, and he actually took the initiative to consider this. Tangning waved her hand and said, "I understand, I will look at the arrangements."
He stood up and said, "It's getting late. I have to go and sit with Marquis Wu Lie. Tell Mr. Xiao that I'm going back..."
Xiao Jue stood up and said, "Let's get together. I haven't seen Brother Han for a long time."
Wu Liehou was now General Jin Yuwei, responsible for the security of the two gates of the capital. Tang Ning sat at the Han family for half an hour before leaving alone.
Xiao Jue and Wu Liehou have known each other for many years. The friendship between the two is deeper, and there are still some old things to talk about.
Tangning did not stay with him. He still had a lot to do before leaving.
The store has been entrusted to Princess Anyang, and the most worrying thing is probably the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Jing Zhaoyin is the parent official of the capital, so naturally he cannot go sightseeing like them. Tangning's family's trip to the capital can be interpreted as a trip, but if his father-in-law and mother-in-law go out together, even Chen Huang will become suspicious and worry that he is
It's not about running away.
In the house, Zhong Mingli looked at him and said with a smile: "You can go with ease. Once you have arranged everything, it will not be too late for your mother-in-law and I to go there."
Chen Yuxian glanced at him and said: "A month ago, I said that Jing Zhaoyin was tired of being a fool and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. You men are just lying..."
Zhong Mingli showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said, "Isn't this to dispel His Majesty's suspicion..."
Tangning saw the reluctance in his father-in-law's eyes, and he wasn't too surprised by this.
After more than ten years of hard work, just to be able to be named on the gold medal list one day, he has endured so many years in the officialdom, and now he has reached the position of Jing Zhaoyin, so how can he give up willingly if he gives up?
Fortunately, the situation in Beijing is no longer what it used to be. Most of the court has been controlled by the Fang family. Things like the last time he was framed by someone should not happen again in the future.
He returned to the study and Qing'er handed him a letter.
This letter was just received this morning, but the date was a month ago.
Ever since Tang Ning went to Guizhou, her family would receive a letter from the Western Regions every month. The content of the letter was nothing more than what they had experienced in the Western Regions. The purpose of writing this letter was just to retaliate.
Safety.
When they went to the Western Regions, all the elite beggar gangs from Gyeonggi Province came out, and the 2,000-strong escort team was well-equipped, enough to wipe out most of the small and medium-sized countries in the Western Regions.
You must know that although the Western Region is known as the Thirty-six Kingdoms, most of them, including their kings and ministers, only have hundreds or thousands of people.
They said in the letter that they would be ready to return to Beijing in one month. Tang Ning originally planned to leave for Qiandi in the near future, but judging from the time of this letter, they were already on their way back. He only had to wait in Beijing.
It will take more than a month to take them away together.
This was originally a good thing, but Tang Ning had a headache. Apart from Tang Jing and his wife, and Tang Zhao, who was missing, no one in the Tang family was alive. How should he tell them about this?
Tang Ning rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a headache due to this incident. In the depths of the far western region, the wind and sand had dispersed. Several elders of the Beggar Clan looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses appearing not far ahead, as well as the flag at the forefront, with expressions on their faces.
Big changes.
"No, it's Xiaowan's army!"
Even though they knew that Xiaowan's army was different from the rogue bandits in the Western Regions and would not target caravans like theirs, everyone still turned pale as they looked at the chilling scene in front of them...
