Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 336: Meeting an old friend

Chen Huang's thoughts were very dangerous. He was asked to marry Miss Li out of nowhere, not to mention that Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi would not agree, not even Tang Yaoyao would agree. √pineapple々小√ said

What's more, their relationship hasn't reached that point yet.

However, he is the emperor, and the emperor can do whatever he wants without being unreasonable. If he really forces him to do this, he will not be able to resist. What should he do then------This is really a headache. .

Chen Huang looked at him and swallowed what he was about to say.

"You guys..." He pointed at Prince Huai, Prince Fu and Tang Ning, waved his hand, and said, "If I appoint one person, it would appear that I am partial and unfair, so why not let Princess Changning make her own choice."

In ancient times, only the emperor chose a princess to marry at random, but rarely let the princess choose her husband. However, the political marriage between Chen and Chu was originally for exchange, and there was not so much emphasis on it.

Emperor Chen summoned him to the palace this time to order this matter.

On this mission to the Chu State, he, as the wedding envoy, not only escorted the princess, but also had to shoulder the important task of proposing a marriage. The burden on his shoulders was not light.

Regarding the marriage, neither King Kang nor King Duan had any dispute with each other, and they broke up unhappy.

Tang Ning and King Huai walked out of the hall together. King Huai turned to look at him and said with a smile, "It's a long way to Chu State. Mr. Tang has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so please take care of yourself."

Tangning cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, His Highness King Huai."

He was not familiar with King Huai, but had only met once. After exchanging pleasantries, he walked down the steps and left.

Prince Fu walked out of the palace and stood beside Prince Huai. He looked at Tang Ning's leaving figure with a smile on his face and said, "This champion is also a rare smart person."

"What are you talking about, uncle?" Prince Huai put his hands in his sleeves, shrugged and said, "There have only been a few number one scholars in ancient times, but they don't just have to study hard. "

Prince Fu looked at him with a warm smile on his face, and asked: "It is said that Princess Changning's daughter is a beautiful woman in the country. She is good at literature and martial arts. She is also the daughter of the regent and has a respected status. Don't you plan to fight for it?"

"Spare me..." King Huai shook his head resolutely and said, "Not to mention that the two royal brothers can't get through it, I can't explain it to my princess, uncle Wang, aren't you trying to kill me? "

Prince Fu laughed and said: "As a child of the royal family, he is so afraid of his own country. There is not even a concubine in the house except the princess, but he will be laughed at."

King Huai looked at him, shook his head and said: "People often say that it takes fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. How come Uncle Wang laughs at fifty steps? You are not afraid of people's jokes, but do you dare to say what you just said in front of the princess?" Once?"

King Fu was furious when he heard this: "What do you mean? No matter how big or small, where have you learned all the etiquette..."

When Tang Ning walked out of the palace, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The emperor was still as indecisive as ever when encountering major events.

However, his indecisiveness this time was exactly what Tangning wanted. The power of sending out weddings and proposing marriages was entirely in his hands. Who knows how many gifts King Kang will secretly send after he returns.

He originally thought that Emperor Chen's proposal to the Chu State was just to make the relationship between the two countries closer, but the few ambiguous words that Emperor Chen said in the hall today made him understand Emperor Chen's true intention.

The situation of the royal family of Chu State was much more complicated than that of Chen State.

The Emperor of Chu was about to die soon, and the prince was incompetent and immoral. However, there was a regent in the court who had both political integrity and outstanding ability, and was popular among the people. After the death of the Emperor of Chu, it was not certain who would hold the throne.

It would be good if the crown prince of Chu came to the throne. If King Xin came to the throne, then this marriage would be meaningless and would even put Zhao Man in a dangerous situation.

But if both marriages are successful, it will not make much difference to the Chen State whether the Crown Prince of Chu ascends to the throne or King Xin ascends to the throne.

No matter what the future holds for Chu State, Chen State will not suffer any loss. This is Chen Huang's wishful thinking.

For the benefit of the country, it is possible to sacrifice the happiness and even the life of his own daughter. This is probably the nature of an emperor.

Tangning didn't plan to tell Zhao Man this, she just wanted to be a silly Baitian.

He suppressed these thoughts temporarily, passed by the Hanlin Academy, and saw someone walking out of the courtyard.

At this time, it was already past the office hours. Unexpectedly, there were still people working overtime in the Hanlin Academy. After taking a closer look, I found that the person who walked out was actually Fang Zhe.

Fang Zhe is both a minister of the Ministry of Finance and a bachelor of attendants, so he has two yamen to choose from on weekdays. The same goes for Tang Ning, who is a doctor of the Ministry of Finance and a bachelor of attendants.

"Master Fang, stay here." Tangning thought of something and called him out.

Fang Zhe turned around, and Tang Ning took out a sachet from her arms and handed it over, saying, "Xiaoyue forgot this at my house. Master Fang will bring it back for her."

Xiaoxiao and Fang Xinyue were originally going to catch dragonflies. They were worried that they would lose the sachet while jumping up and down, so they asked Tangning to keep it first. Since they met Fang Zhe, they just asked him to take it back.

Fang Zhe took the sachet and asked casually: "Your Majesty summoned you?"

Tangning nodded.

Fang Zhe put away the sachet and asked, "I just saw that King Kang, King Duan, and King Huai passed by. They must have been talking about the proposal to marry Princess Changning of the Chu Kingdom. Did your Majesty leave this job to you?"

Tangning actually didn't want to talk to Fang Zhe. Although he liked Fang Xiaoyue very much, he didn't like her scheming father.

"Your Majesty trusts you." Fang Zhe said as he walked, "However, you took the initiative to ask to join the Ministry of Rites, and worked hard to become a marriage envoy. You traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the State of Chu. You should not only want to marry the princess, right?"

Tang Ning paused and asked, "What does Lord Fang want to say?"

Fang Zhe stood at the gate of the palace and said, "Young man, you still have to know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, what you can do and what you can't do. Trying to hit a stone with an egg or a tree with an ant will only lead to your own destruction."

After he finished speaking, he slowly walked out of the palace.

Tang Ning was silent for a moment, and then said, "It seems that Lord Fang wasted fourteen years in the Hanlin Academy because he knew how high the sky is and what deep the earth is, and what he could do. He accumulated a lot of knowledge and suddenly realized that he could enter the Ministry of Revenue and dominate the court..."

Fang Zhe stopped, and he remembered something, and clenched his fist tightly in his sleeve.

When Tang Ning walked past him, he paused again and asked, "If you were given another chance, would you choose to be ignorant of the world, or would you choose to know the pros and cons, know when to advance and retreat, and become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue fourteen years later?"

He left without waiting for Fang Zhe to answer, and disappeared in the crowded street.

Fang Zhe stood there for a long time, and then slowly loosened his clenched fists in his sleeves and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Tang Ning walked on the street, but his heart was not as relaxed as the previous two days.

He could hear that Fang Zhe was reminding him that the interests of the two countries were involved, and one carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.

Although he was confident, he had to be fully prepared before leaving.

He was thinking about something in his mind, and when he passed by a certain place on the street, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the shop next to him.

He turned his head and saw several shop assistants running out of the street medicine shop in panic.

A sturdy man strode out of the pharmacy, holding a little girl in one hand and a butcher knife in the other, and shouted angrily: "Quack, give me your life!"

Looking at the sturdy man, Tang Ning stood on the street, looking stunned.
