After returning to Jiangning Mansion, he announced the decree, and the eunuch who announced the decree said with a smile: "Your Majesty misses the prince very much, but now Jiangning Mansion wants to build a weaving department, and cannot be without the prince for a while... As soon as the matter of the weaving department is settled, the prince will be summoned back to the capital.
.”
Tang Shijin smiled and remained humble.
I don't know who said it, wanting her to stay in Jiangnan for a while, but Emperor Yuan Sheng was worried that she would be unhappy about it, so he asked someone to send him such a message.
In her previous plan, she had not thought about the Weaving Department and the capital, so she planned to find a way to return to Beijing after the spring planting this year. Now that she has the Weaving Department and the capital, she also wants to stay here longer.
It will take three or four months to at least finish the weaving department.
But, who doesn’t want her to return to Beijing?
Emperor Yuan Sheng must have almost forgotten the shadow of violence in the past, and the elders must also want to ask her to return to the capital. Is it Wang Zhi? Does Wang Zhi still have such great energy now?
Looking at Wantong again, she realized.
It must be Grandma Wan!
Grandma Wan took great pains to fish out her biological brother and sent her to the south of the Yangtze River. She must have wanted Wan Tong to use this opportunity to seduce her, or at least take advantage of her...
But she probably wouldn't have thought that after being idle for so long, Wan Tong was just holding back his anger and hating her with all his heart. With his brain and temperament, he wouldn't be able to understand her and it wouldn't be easy. He would only think that she
Not interested.
Besides, back then Tang Shijin was just a young marquis with a good reputation, but now she has been crowned a king and a first-rank official with real power, and he is just a left governor without a title, accompanying the capital. The psychological gap is enough for him.
, it’s weird that it’s so low.
Sure enough, at the reception banquet, Wantong was in a weird mood throughout.
No matter who he is or what he says, he always looks like the world owes him eight million.
After the banquet was over, Tang Shijin threw Wantong to Wang Shenxing without any sense of loyalty and took Tao Xiang back home.
Tao Xiang is here, and he is expected to stay until he becomes official. A study is necessary, and there must also be a place to entertain guests. Logically speaking, it is more convenient to find another place, but Tang Shijin is not at ease. After thinking about it, he asked someone to take it.
I bought the yard next to her, and then quickly demolished the wall, and the two families merged into one.
Moreover, Taoxiang was not like them, and was used to being served by his servants, so in addition to the people he brought, Tang Shijin had given instructions in advance, asked the housekeeper to arrange people, and also called people from the Divine Doctor Valley to come and take a pulse.
She made a soothing soup with Lingquan water and gave it to him to drink. After a good sleep, Tao Xiang felt much refreshed when he got up in the morning.
Tang Shijin had already eaten breakfast. He asked someone to put breakfast in his room. While helping to lay out the dishes, he asked him: "Father, why did I send you here?"
Tao Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "The Holy One has meant this a long time ago, and he only tolerated it because he was worried about you. Now I finally found a reason... Before leaving, the Holy One also summoned me, and he said that he would do things with you.
It’s convenient and you can enjoy your family...”
In just one sentence, Tang Shijin felt the difference.
Taoxiang was originally a gentleman, and no matter how much he thought in his heart, he would never say anything wrong with the king. But now, what he said can be said to be very serious, and he did not save face for Emperor Yuan Sheng. See
The quarrels between Empress Wu and the prince came one after another, which almost destroyed Tao Xiang's loyal minister's heart.
Tang Shijin advised him: "You always want to be open-minded. There is a lot of potential in Jiangnan now. If you have a heart for the country and the people, wouldn't it be good to use it on the people? Why waste time coaxing those fools who steal high positions?"
"
Even Emperor Yuan Sheng scolded him in this sentence.
Taoxiang sighed and said nothing.
Tang Shijin said again: "We are all young and have a lot of things going on. I don't understand these things. You can do whatever you want, and Jin'er will protect you..."
When Tao Xiang heard what she said, she couldn't help but smile and sigh: "Before my father left, Liulang also advised me like this. When I went to the south of the Yangtze River, Jin'er was here to enjoy the blessings. I brought out all my ambitions back then.
Maybe it can be realized?"
Tang Shijin smiled and nodded: "Brother Six is right. Don't worry, my adoptive father. Jin'er will guarantee that my adoptive father will do whatever he wants."
She paused: "Speaking of which, how is Brother Six doing lately?"
When Tao Chengqi was mentioned, Tao Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What he is doing now is what I should do. Although I am worried, I can't stop him."
Tang Shijin was silent for a moment.
She said: "If you leave the capital, will the Emperor take action against Sixth Brother?"
"No," Tao Xiang said, "Being a father means that the emperor will not care about me whether I am in the capital or not."
Tang Shijin clicked his tongue and whispered: "In the eyes of our king, a gentleman means that he is easy to bully and can do whatever he wants... With such a king, really good people can be forced to become bad guys."
Tao Xiang remained silent.
Qi Yaoling hurriedly came in: "Master!"
Tang Shijin said: "What's wrong?"
Qi Yaoling first saluted Tao Xiang and then said: "Wantong called Jiang Hu this morning and asked him to allocate half of the Jin Yiwei men to him. Jiang Hu refused, saying that he was ordered to protect you... Two
They made a move, but they didn't start a fight. After two moves, they separated quickly, and then Jiang Hu left directly."
What??
Tang Shijin was convinced: "Is there something wrong with Wantong? Now that he is no longer an official of the Jinyiwei, he still wants to steal the Jinyiwei's use? Why doesn't he go to heaven? Is this just provoking trouble?"
"Well," Qi Yaoling said lightly: "It looks annoying, why not kill him?"
Tang Shijin said: "You can't kill him directly! You can't be so simple and crude!"
She frowned and asked again: "What then? How is Wantong?"
Qi Yaoling said: "I heard that he cursed a few times, but yesterday Wang Shenxing gave him two skinny horses, and then..." He gave her a look that you know.
"Oh!" Tang Shijin said directly: "Find some clever medicine and let him live like a skinny horse for a while. Don't be an eyesore!"
Qi Yaoling nodded and left.
Taoxiang, who was listening to the whole process behind him: "..."
He had been a courtier for half his life. Whether at home or in court, he was used to making decisions and at least being asked for his opinions... So after hearing Qi Yaoling's words, he put down his tea cup and prepared to wait for Tang Shijin's question.
When he comes, give her a few words of advice and point out the pros and cons.
Unexpectedly, both Qi Yaoling and Tang Shijin downplayed it, as if this matter was so small that there was no need to worry about it... and they had no intention of asking his opinion.
After Qi Yaoling went out, Tang Shijin turned around and started chatting with him again.
Taoxiang confirmed that this matter was really not a big deal in her eyes, and she was obviously used to being the master of the matter, so she had no intention of asking him.
In the afternoon, several officials gathered to discuss matters.
Tao Xiang is still in Xiangxian, and he is responsible for taking care of the affairs of the capital, and he is the boss.
But the water in the south of the Yangtze River was deep, so he thought it would not go so smoothly. Unexpectedly, when we talked about serious matters, everyone was very respectful and cooperative... without any objection.
Of course, he would not think that these officials suddenly changed to vegetarianism. This could only be attributed to Tang Shijin.
It seems that she has been here for more than a year and has really spent her time in vain. She actually subdued these officials.
Taoxiang's mood is a little complicated.
But gradually, he felt a little happy. Liulang was right. Maybe what he thought about back then could really be realized in Jiangnan! He is now over fifty years old. If he can make a political and people-friendly companion for Daqing, he will have no regrets in this life.
