Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 684: Uncharacteristic [9th update]

Since Wang Xiang went to the Tang family yesterday, he did not come to Shangshu Province for two whole days, nor did he go to court.

He is the Prime Minister, the boss of the Shangshu Province. No one can take care of him if he doesn't come to work. However, the Shangshu Province already has one less prime minister. As a result, the task on Tang Ning's shoulders becomes heavier. She reads the excerpts every day and feels like vomiting. They are all trivial things. They are annoying to look at, but there is no point in not looking at them...

The Prime Minister has been sitting in this position for more than ten years. It is not easy to face this every day.

On the third day, Tang Ning met Wang Xiang again in Shangshu Province.

He looked more haggard than a few days ago, but his eyes were still very sharp. Tangning looked at him and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Prime Minister Wang? Is he sick?"

"I am in very good health." Wang Xiang glanced at him and asked, "Does Master Tang know how to play chess?"

Tangning shook her head and said, "I just understand a little bit."

Wang Xiang said: "Want to play a game with me?"

Tangning hesitated and said, "It's office time now. This is not good. All my colleagues are watching..."

Shangshu Youcheng stood up holding his stomach and said: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I want to go to the toilet. Master Wu, you didn't say you wanted to go to the toilet just now. Why don't we come together..."

Zuo Si Langzhong was surprised and said: "When did I say that I won't go, I want to watch Wang Xiang and Mr. Tang play chess..."

Youji Langzhong put his arms around his shoulders, dragged him out, and said, "Let's go, we have to go sooner or later..."

Several people came out of the government office. The doctor from the left opened the hand of the doctor from the right and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Zhao, what are you doing? Wang Xiang is very good at chess, and I still want to learn how to play two games..."

"Learning to use both hands?" Youji Langzhong glanced at him and said: "You have only been in this position for a few years and you are tired of it. Do you want to go to the northwest to practice?"

Zuo Si Langzhong was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"There is something wrong between the Prime Minister and Mr. Tang, didn't you notice?" Youji Langzhong took a look inside and said, "Do you think you are older than the Prime Minister, or can you defeat Mr. Tang?"

Hearing this, Zuo Si Langzhong couldn't help but trembled and never mentioned playing chess again.

Yousi Langzhong looked at Shangshu Youcheng and asked, "Won't Mr. Wang start a fight with Mr. Tang?"

"Probably not..." Shangshu Youcheng shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "Master Tang is not such an imprudent person."

After he said this, he didn't even believe it himself.

He almost scared the king to death in the past few days, thinking that he had little time and was in constant panic. There was nothing more inappropriate than scaring the prime minister of a country.

In the Shangshu Yamen, Wang Xiang brought the chessboard, Tang Ning held the white stones, and Wang Xiang held the black stones.

Zhong Yi had taught him how to play Go in the past, but that was when they were in Lingzhou, and the two of them passed the time playing Go during the long nights when they had no intention of sleeping. Tang Ning had never paid attention to learning it, and was only half-skilled.

Not long after the first game, he was killed by Wang Xiang and was thrown into disgrace, and he had to admit defeat in a miserable manner.

After that, she played four games in a row, but Tang Ning didn't win any of them. Although winning or losing in chess is not the key, she still doesn't feel comfortable if she keeps losing. After the last game, Tang Ning packed up the chess pieces and said, "I'm not good at chess as an official. If Wang Xiang thinks about it, he might as well find someone else..."

The Prime Minister collected the chess pieces calmly and said, "Master Tang, don't be too humble. Master Tang's chess skills are superb, and the chess game is so big that I can't even match it..."

This was the first time that Tang Ning encountered someone who would win chess if he won, and would still sarcastically criticize others after winning chess.

The old man Wang Xiang always meant something when he spoke. He meant one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. Tangning didn't like talking to such people the most. He was disgusted by reading the memorials these days. When Wang Xiang came, he I don’t plan to come to Shangshu Province.

Anyway, in addition to here, he also has the official department and the cavalry camp to go to. Emperor Chen's 10,000 heavy cavalry had been formed two months ago. After the martial arts competition is over, he will rush to the northwest with Wu Jinshi.

Tang Ning didn't understand before that Wanyan's life on the grassland was not easy.

The reason why they repeatedly harassed and attacked Chen Chu was because they were squeezed out by others and had no room. The Sushen people were not the only nomadic tribes on the grassland. The largest tribe among them was a certain tribe called the Black Barbarians. , the combat power is not inferior to that of the Sushen people, and they live deep in the grassland. The Wanyan tribe provokes Chen Chu and Heiman at the same time.

This is good news for Chen State. Across the Sushen people, Heiman poses no threat to Chen State. With Heiman's restraint, Wanyan Department cannot devote all its energy to deal with Chen Chu.

On the contrary, the threat to them from the Western Region was greater. Xiaowan didn't know what happened in the past three years, and he expanded like crazy after taking medicine. Many small countries in the Western Region sent signals to Chen Guo for help. Emperor Chen and the court were very interested in this. In order to move, Italy united with many small countries in the Western Region to unite and attack Xiaowan from both inside and outside.

In dealing with Wanyanbu, they tasted the benefits of supporting a puppet and planned to use the same tactics to deal with Xiaowan.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the grassland is resolved in advance so that Chen Guo can spare enough energy.

These two things must be planned slowly and smoothly, but something unexpected happened in the court today.

In the morning court, Prime Minister Wang was uncharacteristically gentle. He impeached Academician Zhang with fierce words.

The content of his impeachment was also very strange. There were so many affairs in the court every day. As the prime minister, he only impeached Zhang Daxueshi for neglecting to discipline Prince Run. Zhang Daxueshi had been a clean official all his life, so how could he bear this grievance? The two elderly men over fifty years old almost fought in the court.

Later, it was only after the emperor persuaded them that the two stopped fighting. Zhang Daxueshi left in anger, and Zhao Yuan suffered. He was caught by him and made him recite books for two hours. When he came to the Tang family, his voice was hoarse.

Zhao Yuan looked at Tang Ning and said helplessly: "Sir, save me, the Daxueshi is crazy. He wants me to read books for four hours every day, and he has to watch it in person..."

Tang Ning didn't know what hatred there was between Wang Xiang and Zhang Daxueshi. He had to use this little thing to make him lose face in front of the civil and military officials, but it was not entirely a bad thing to force Zhang Daxueshi to force Zhao Yuan to spend four hours reading every day in the future.

The throne is so important, it can't be obtained by making a few bowls of soup and picking up a few girls.

Taking a different approach is just to let him overtake others when he starts behind. How far he can go in the end depends on his own strength.

Even he has to doubt whether Wang Xiang did it on purpose.

Tang Ning looked at him and said regretfully: "Four hours are not much. You and Zhang Daxueshi should study hard during these days. Don't forget to make soup for your father every day..."

Zhao Yuan trembled and turned pale. He felt that his life was bleak and his future was bleak.

Fang Family, Fang Hong wondered: "What happened to Wang Xiang? Did Zhang Daxueshi offend him?"

Fang Zhe smiled and said: "It's better to let Zhang Daxueshi pay more attention to Prince Run. He can't be a good emperor just by making soup and making women happy..."

Zhang Family

Zhang Yan, the Minister of Rites, was furious and said, "Prime Minister Wang is too much of a bully. Has my Zhang family ever offended their Wang family?"

Grand Secretary Zhang, who had been furious in the court, was now quiet. He looked thoughtful and muttered, "People named Wang never offend people easily. What does this mean this time..."
