When Lao Zheng came back from the grassland this time, he actually brought Wan Yanyan's master back.
He said he was practicing swordsmanship, but how could he practice swordsmanship on others? Tang Ning understood Lao Zheng's hunger and thirst after being single for more than ten years, so she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Next time, practice somewhere else, the floor is dirty...
…”
…
Once the war on the grassland ended, as expected, several countries on this continent would be able to develop harmoniously and steadily. The imperial court soon learned of this matter. Looking to the future, officials seemed to have seen that Chen Guo
We are about to enter a new era.
In the next few years, although the surrounding areas will be stable, all countries are developing. If Chen Guo is not careful, he will be far behind other countries. It can be said that opportunities and challenges coexist.
But if Chen State seizes the opportunity, it may be Chu State and the Western Regions that are surpassed. Obviously, Chen State officials are full of confidence in this.
In the past few days, officials have been working hard, and some seemingly small things on weekdays will be magnified in this special situation.
The most active and active one is of course Yushitai.
Normally, that's fine. Since everyone is a colleague, they would turn a blind eye to some minor matters.
But now and then, when the entire Chen Kingdom is working hard to enter a new era, no one is allowed to hold back.
Therefore, these days, the censors have submitted more impeachment memorials.
The impeachment charges in these reports were nothing more than charges of abusing power for personal gain and accepting bribes. Regardless of whether they were major or minor, Tang Ning did not have to deal with them personally, and left them all to the officials below.
Generally speaking, he lived a relatively leisurely life during his return to Shangshu Province.
At this moment, Tang Ning was sitting in the Shangshu Yamen, drinking the good tea that Princess Anyang had collected from Prince Fu. She heard footsteps coming from outside. She looked up and saw a figure walking in from outside.
Seeing Zhong Mingli come in, Tang Ning immediately stood up, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Father-in-law, please."
The words "Father-in-law" from his immediate boss made Zhong Mingli feel very uncomfortable. However, over the years, he had almost gotten used to this feeling. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then handed a memorial to Tang Ning and said: "
Please read this envelope first."
He would not show ordinary trivial matters to himself. After Tangning took the memorial, opened it and looked at it, a strange look appeared on her face.
This note was written by a royal censor. It said that the remaining members of Liang Guo's party may have sneaked into the capital and asked the court to investigate the matter strictly.
Liang Guo Yudang, these four words are not good words in the Chen State. They were the ones who started the Jiangnan Rebellion, so the court is extremely sensitive to these people. Once any clues are found, they will definitely investigate to the end.
Tang Ning had also wondered whether those people were lurking in the capital. After all, the poison in Emperor Chen's body was only found in Guizhou. Unfortunately, they didn't ask anything from the Tang family, and the matter ended up being settled.
Censors are always reporting things based on hearsay, and many things do not require any evidence. Many of their reports are simply ignored by Shangshu Province, but this matter must be treated seriously even if there is no evidence.
Zhong Mingli looked at him and said: "This matter is not trivial. The Minister cannot make the decision. Should I show it to His Majesty?"
His father-in-law had been in Shangshu Province for so long, and he had obviously developed a keen sense of politics. Tangning nodded and said, "I'd better pass this letter on to His Majesty."
Chen Huang no longer fights as hard as before for his own life.
However, he did not completely ignore the government affairs. Whenever there were any major issues in the government that the officials could not decide, they still had to be submitted to him.
Emperor Chen's hatred for the rest of Liang Guo's party was beyond Tang Ning's expectation.
Within half an hour of handing over the envelope, the instructions from the palace came down.
Regarding the matter of Liang Guo's remnant party, Emperor Chen strictly ordered all the major yamen and secret spies in the capital to investigate with all their strength, even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, they would be found out.
It seems that Jiangnan's incident has left a big shadow in Chen Huang's heart, but Tang Ning didn't pay much attention to this matter.
In his eyes, Bai Jin and Gongsun Ying were just lost dogs, unable to make any trouble. It would be better for them to hide in a place where no one could find them for the rest of their lives, remain anonymous, and live out their lives peacefully.
If they still wanted to do something small, Tang Ning wouldn't mind leaving them completely in despair.
…
Prince Huai's Mansion.
It was rumored that the remnants of Liang Guo's party were hiding in the capital, and there was already a turmoil outside. Bai Jin looked at King Huai, a little angry, and said angrily: "What on earth is going on?"
"You shouldn't ask me about this matter." King Huai said with an indifferent expression: "This matter was reported by the Yushitai and directly presented to the father by the Minister of Education. The reason why the imperial court had such a big reaction was also by the father.
Order given."
He glanced at Bai Jin and said, "You should ask your people when the news leaked out, instead of asking me here..."
Bai Jin looked at King Huai and asked, "Besides you, who else knows about our affairs?"
King Huai looked at her and asked, "Are you doubting me?"
Bai Jin took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'm just reminding you that we are grasshoppers tied to a rope. If something happens to us, you won't be much better..."
King Huai said: "You don't need to remind me about this. I know it better than you. Don't forget that my life is still in your hands."
Bai Jin's face softened slightly and he said: "In that case, you can help us solve this matter."
King Huai glanced at her and asked: "Do you want me to die with you and collude with the rest of Liang Guo's party? Do you think my father will let me go?"
Bai Jin looked gloomy and said, "If we let them continue searching like this, we will be exposed sooner or later, and you won't be able to escape by then!"
This was a naked threat. Bai Jin's meaning was very clear. If the Chen court found them, they would definitely expose King Huai.
However, King Huai didn't mind at all and said: "In order not to attract other people's attention, I can't help you openly. These days, the imperial court will conduct strict searches in the capital, and any suspicious people will be interrogated. You can no longer appear in the open.
Come on, I have a secret courtyard in the capital. You can hide there first and wait until the news passes before you come out. During this period, I will have people send you all the things you need...,
In addition, I will try my best to take over the search and help you avoid this disaster..."
Bai Jin thought for a long time and finally nodded.
This is the capital of Chen State, and no matter how conceited she is, she doesn't think she can escape the Chen State's dragnet-like search.
After King Huai told her the address of the villa, Bai Jin left the study.
She walked to the door, paused again, looked back at King Huai, and said, "You'd better pray that nothing happens to us, otherwise, you only have half a year to live..."
After that, she left without looking back.
King Huai looked out the window, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "How can I use half a year..."
From his eyes, there was no fear of death, but only deep exhaustion and relief...
