Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 685 of the main volume of Ruyi Little Man: Thunder on the Ground [Update 10] Zhang Yan was startled when he heard this, and asked: "Does it mean that the king, the drunkard, does not care about wine?"

Academician Zhang was pacing in the courtyard with a thoughtful expression on his face but did not speak.

Two unusual things happened in the Zhang family these days. One was that Zhang Yan, who was supposed to spend his whole life in Zhongshu Province, inexplicably took the position of Minister of Rites. The other was that Zhang Yan, who had always cherished his wings, unexpectedly Wang Xiang, who was willing to conflict with others, suddenly attacked him in the court, but the reason was just because of a trivial matter.

King Run is playful, he has long since given up teaching him, and doesn't care much about him on weekdays. Even His Majesty and Concubine Shu didn't say anything about it. As a prime minister, there is no way he has to fight against him when he is full. .

He looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "Last time you said that Fang Hong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was showing favor to my Zhang family?"

Zhang Yan nodded and said: "If it weren't for Fang Shangshu, no one would be able to take my turn in the position of the Ministry of Rites."

"Fang family, Prince Run, Prime Minister Wang..." Archbishop Zhang murmured in a low voice. Suddenly he seemed to remember something. He looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "Do you know that besides Yingying, the other two people who are following Prince Run are... A little girl, what is her identity? "

Zhang Yan thought for a while and said: "One is the granddaughter of the Wang Xiang, and the other seems to be the granddaughter of General Bai..."

"Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Wang's granddaughter..." Academician Zhang sat down on the table with a look of shock on his face and said in shock: "Could it be..."

Zhang Yan looked at him and said in surprise: "Dad, what is it?"

Academician Zhang thought for a long time, looked at Zhang Yan, and said: "Go and get ready to impeach Wang Xiang and his son Wang Bo in the court tomorrow..."

…

Zhao Yuan's good days are over. He spends most of his time reading and making soup, and has no time to tease the little girl.

Wang Xiang's inexplicable behavior caused quite a stir in the court. All the officials knew was that he was in a bad mood. It was best not to provoke him these days.

Tang Ning's way of looking at the problem was different from theirs. What kind of old fox was Wang Xiang? It was inexplicable how he could offend the Zhang family. Could it be that he had noticed something and took this opportunity to give them their next instructions.

Zhao Yuan's filial piety is enough, but his ability is indeed a bit lacking. If he had a little bit of ability to govern the country, in Emperor Chen's eyes, he would be a shining piece of gold, the best candidate to inherit the throne.

Of course, Wang Xiang was not in a hurry to make his words clear. If he lived to their age, he would not be in a hurry to take sides, but since he could make such a move, it was an invisible support for King Run to seize the throne...

Thinking about it, it is impossible for him not to support it. With King Run's current power, it is not difficult to overthrow Chao Gang, but his method of seizing the heir is too cunning and his performance is too low-key, so few people think in that direction.

Tang Ning is almost no longer worried about Zhao Yuan, but the time left for him is only a little more than a year. During this period, the possibility of major changes in the Chen Kingdom is too low. He is afraid that if Zhao Yuan takes over, he will have to leave the capital. Many years later.

During this period, if I could do more for him, it would be worth it for him to call me sir.

Tangning walked out of the study and prepared to go to Xiao Mansion to sit down.

After Xiao Jue left, Mr. Xiao was the only one left in Xiao Mansion. Tangning would go to Xiao Mansion to sit for a while in her free time.

He walked out of the house and saw a figure stumbling over.

Tang Ning looked at Chen Zhou who looked flustered and asked in surprise: "You are so flustered, what's wrong?"

Chen Zhou looked up at him with a pale face, licked his dry lips, and said in a trembling voice after a long time: "Sir, Sir, urgent report from the north, General Xiao and his five hundred soldiers were captured alive by Wanyan's tribe on the grassland. Yanbu summoned all the Sushen troops and carried out a public execution of General Xiao..."

Tang Ning looked at him blankly and asked, "General Xiao, which General Xiao?"

Chen Zhou bit his lip and said, "General Xiao Jue Xiao."

Tangning's mind went blank and she murmured, "When did it happen?"

Chen Zhou said: "At least, it was at least ten days ago..."

…

Without any warning, Tangning was stunned by the sudden news, and the sun above her head suddenly became dazzling.

At the same time, the Xiao family.

Mr. Xiao's body swayed, and the servants of the Xiao Mansion hurriedly stepped forward to help him. He waved his hand to stop Xiao Fu, looked at the eunuch in the palace, and hissed: "What did you just say, say it again..."

The eunuch said in a trembling voice: "Xiao, General Xiao and five hundred soldiers were captured by the grassland people. They carried out a public execution of General Xiao ten days ago. General Xiao, General Xiao is probably in danger..."

General Xiao sat down on the chair, closed his eyes, and said, "Everyone, get out."

The servants of the Xiao Mansion and the eunuch understood the mood of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away. They raised their heads and slowly withdrew. General Xiao was the only one left in the room.

He opened his eyes, and two lines of thick tears fell from his eyes.

Lu family.

Lu Ding learned about this incident from a young general, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. His face turned pale, he looked at the man and said, "You must not let Ya'er know about this matter..."

boom!

The screen on one side of the room fell down. Lu Ya walked out from behind the screen, looked at Lu Ding, and asked in confusion: "Dad, is this true..."

Lu Ding looked at her and sighed.

Royal study room.

On the ground in front of the hall, memorials were scattered all over the floor. Emperor Chen looked gloomy and did not speak for a long time. The eunuchs in the hall held their breath and did not dare to breathe.

Wei Jian looked at Emperor Chen, his face complicated, and he said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Chen stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, and said grimly, "Pass the order down, all the enemy prisoners captured in the north, regardless of gender, age or young, will be beheaded, and their heads will be built into a Jingguan and placed north of Yinshan Mountain. I will also let them see that they killed one person from my Chen State, and one day, I will slaughter their entire Sushen clan!"

Except for a eunuch who responded, only Emperor Chen's grim voice echoed in the hall.

…

Three days after the news from the north came, Tang Ning did not go out for three days.

The court and the people were excited, and Emperor Chen was furious, and he even issued an order to kill all the prisoners standing in the Jingguan. Ten thousand heavy cavalry and nearly 100,000 auxiliary troops were ready to go within three days.

Tang Ning did not go to the Xiao family or the Lu family. He only knew that the day after the news entered the capital, Lu Ya moved into the Xiao family as a widow.

This news came suddenly and caught Tang Ning off guard. It took several days for the news to come back from the north. According to the time calculation, the public execution of Xiao Jue by the Wanyan tribe has ended.

Tang Ning sat in the study, took a sip of tea to moisten his lips, and felt upset. Zhong Yi, Su Ru and Tang Yaoyao stood in the yard and looked in the direction of the study. Tang Yaoyao gritted her teeth and was about to go in, but was stopped by Zhong Yi.

She shook her head gently and said, "Let my husband be alone."

Tang Yaoyao stopped and paced in the yard for half an hour, looking at the study from time to time. At a certain moment, Qing'er walked in from outside, holding a letter in her hand, and said, "There is a letter from my son-in-law..."

"I'll take it in." Tang Yaoyao took the letter from her and walked in quickly.

She walked into the study, put the letter on the table, and said, "There is a letter."

Tang Ning raised her head and asked casually, "Who wrote it?"

Tang Yaoyao said, "It's unsigned."

Tang Ning opened the unsigned letter and took out the letter paper. The words on the paper were ugly, and ugly and familiar.

He looked at the letter, his face gradually changed. After reading the letter, he stood up suddenly and said happily, "I love you to death!"

Tang Yaoyao was surprised and said, "Who do you love?"

"Love you!" Tang Ning hugged her, kissed her heavily on the face, grabbed her hand, and said, "Go to Xiao Mansion!"
