Old Zheng was in the grassland, and the old beggar went to the south of the Yangtze River. Tang Ning further strengthened the Tang Dynasty's guard force. Although King Kang and King Duan had already retired to the deep palace in advance, who knows if there are still any lunatics in the capital. Treat him as
For the enemy of life and death, he will do some crazy things...
In the past few days, the most discussed issue among the people in Beijing was the visit of the Xiaowan envoy to Beijing.
If Xiaowan can reach a consensus on peace with Chen State, the people of Chen State will really be able to get rid of the war and live and work in peace and contentment.
However, only a few senior officials in the DPRK knew that the peace between Xiaowan and Chen Guo was conditional.
Their condition was that Chen Guo would marry Princess Pingyang to Xiaowan. However, His Majesty did not agree with this matter. He intended to let Princess Anyang, who had just been canonized as a princess, replace Princess Pingyang in marriage. The Xiaowan envoy did not accept this arrangement.
The two parties are still in a stalemate.
However, it was the envoy Xiaowan who finally compromised.
In the imperial study room, Emperor Chen glanced at Tang Ning, then looked at the three Xiaowan envoys and asked, "Have you finally figured it out?"
The leader of the envoy said: "Princess Anyang is also a strange woman. I think the king will not object and everything will be arranged by your majesty."
Chen Huang showed a smile on his face and said: "That's very good..."
Envoy Xiaowan finally reached an agreement with Emperor Chen on this matter. Emperor Chen was very happy and decided to treat them to a banquet in a few days. After this conversation, the guests and hosts finally enjoyed themselves.
After Envoy Xiaowan left, Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning and said, "I asked you to entertain Envoy Xiaowan well. What have you been doing these days?"
Tang Ning said innocently: "Have you entertained them before..."
"When you talk about hospitality, do you mean treating them to a bowl of noodles on the roadside, or is it paid by someone else?" Chen Huang snorted coldly and said, "Other than that, have you seen them in the past few days?
"
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chen actually sent someone to keep an eye on them, but Tang Ning didn't panic. She smiled and said, "Didn't they change their minds..."
Speaking of this matter, Chen Huang showed a trace of doubt on his face and asked: "How did you persuade them? I tried hard to argue with them, but they didn't agree. Why did you convince them with just a few words?"
Tang Ning said: "Maybe they were moved by that bowl of noodles..."
Emperor Chen glanced at him and asked, "Do you think I will believe you?"
Tangning lowered her head and said honestly: "Actually, I told them that if they don't agree, let them die here..."
Chen Huang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Then what?"
"Then they agreed."
"..."
Emperor Chen looked at him and said in disbelief: "As the prime minister of my country, Chen, you actually threaten the envoys of other countries?"
"I am guilty."
"You are really... well done!"
…
Emperor Chen showed a look of pleasure on his face and said: "The small and powerful foreign countries in the Western Regions actually want to ride on the head of our country, Chen. We should give them some color to show off, so that we can show the majesty of our big country!"
As an emperor, he naturally cannot use bandit tactics like Tang Ning's. I am afraid that no one in the court would do such a thing except him.
But it is undeniable that the extraordinary method he used was the most effective.
Chen Huang nodded and said: "Very good, since they agreed to marry Anyang, you don't have to worry about Xiao Man anymore. It's only been a few days since you returned to Beijing. Go to Shangshu Province earlier. Then you will be needed."
He’s in charge of the overall situation.”
Tang Ning nodded in agreement, knowing that he couldn't be lazy anymore until Zhao Man came back.
These days, he did not go to Shangshu Province. Firstly, he was lazy, and secondly, his father-in-law was Shangshu Zuocheng. If he went to Shangshu Province, he would not see each other every day without looking up. How to address each other would still be a problem.
After coming out of the palace, he did not go home, but went to Princess Anyang's Mansion.
Even though King Fu once said that he would not be allowed to come here again, he was still a little worried about Princess Anyang.
However, this time, he didn't even enter the princess's mansion.
The maid named Yan'er stood at the door, looked at Tang Ning, sighed, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, the princess said she doesn't want to see anyone, please go back."
Tang Ning said: "Please tell me, Li'er, that Tang Ning has something to say to the princess. The princess won't even miss me, right?"
Zhuier shook her head and said, "The princess said that the last thing she wants to see is you."
In the end, Tangning did not enter the Princess's Mansion and had no choice but to return home.
At this time, in the princess's palace, Qi'er slowly walked into the room and said to Princess Anyang who was sitting in front of the mirror, who was much more haggard than a few days ago: "Princess, Lord Tang was here just now..."
Princess Anyang looked at the bronze mirror with dull eyes and asked: "Did the imperial edict just come from the palace?"
Mei'er's expression became depressed and she said: "Xiao Wan, the envoy Xiao Wan has agreed to marry the princess. His Majesty said that the marriage will take place in a month..."
"Is there another month?" Princess Anyang murmured, and after being silent for a while, she said: "Zhen'er, help me freshen up..."
…
It was late at night, and Tang Ning stood in the courtyard, looking up at the bright starry sky, but she was not sleepy at all.
The old beggar went to Jiangnan, and she didn't know when he would succeed. Tang Ning had no doubts about his ability, but after he succeeded, Tang Ning herself would have to consider leaving Beijing.
If you leave this time, you will probably never come back again.
He originally wanted to marry Zhao Man back in a glamorous manner, but fate was not as good as fate. Zhao Man failed to marry him, but he accidentally married Anyang.
As this matter has developed to this day, in everyone's eyes, Princess Anyang is already Xiaowan's imperial concubine. Tang Ning cannot bring her to the Western Regions and then reconcile with her...
This is actually a political friendship, and the significance of this marriage is that Chen Guo and the Western Regions have reached a peaceful consensus, which cannot be destroyed unilaterally.
It is easy to marry Anyang back, but how to settle the marriage is a big problem.
Tang Ning admitted that he thought things were too simple at first.
The sound of slow footsteps came from behind. The footsteps were very light. The person who came was probably a woman, but it didn't look like Xiaoxiao, because her steps were more brisk and not as heavy as this.
Tangning turned around and looked at the figure covered in a black cloak from head to toe, and asked in surprise: "Princess Princess?"
Princess Anyang walked straight to the lighted room and said, "Come in and talk."
Tangning followed her into the room. Princess Anyang closed the door and took off her cloak.
Under the dim light, Tang Ning could still see that she had delicate light makeup on her face, but this delicate makeup still couldn't hide the paleness and haggardness of her face.
Her clothing style has also changed from the conservative style of the past. Under her long and fair neck, her collarbones are delicate and charming, and below her collarbones...
Tangning's gaze stopped here and did not slide down to the bottom of her collarbone. He looked away and asked, "It's so late, does the princess have anything to do with me?"
Although she is now a princess, Tang Ning feels that she may not like this title.
Princess Anyang did not answer. After taking off her cloak, she also took off the outermost veil.
Tangning's eyelids twitched, and she finally realized that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly asked: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Anyang stepped forward, looked into Tangning's eyes, and asked, "Do you like me?"
Tangning looked away and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, please don't do this..."
Princess Anyang put her hand on his chest and said seriously: "Answer my question."
Tangning's heart was beating wildly. He never expected that things would develop like this.
He looked at Princess Anyang, raised his hands, and said with a wry smile: "I'll do it, I'll do it all..."
[ps: I have to move again in two days. I spent a day renting a house outside during the day. There is only one update today.]
