Fortunate Young Gentleman

King Kang's rebellion was the biggest event that happened in the capital recently.

Although his rebellion was finally suppressed, many people shed blood and lost their heads, King Kang was deposed, and Concubine Xian was sent to the cold palace, but in any case, the ceremony carefully prepared by His Majesty became a joke.

After this incident was settled, some things that happened were beyond the expectations of many people.

It was originally thought that King Kang's crime was a great benefit to Prince Duan, but who would have thought that after King Kang was imprisoned, His Majesty reused Prince Huai, and Prince Duan was further treated coldly.

And the reason for this incident, after many inquiries, someone finally understood it.

It turned out that at the ceremony that day, when King Kang rebelled and wanted to kill His Majesty and the princes, Prince Duan actually knelt down and begged for mercy without any bones, and even admitted that he was a pig and dog, and did not hesitate to imitate the sound of a dog barking, begging King Kang to spare his life...

People can be without pride, but they must be proud. Prince Duan is not only without pride, he has no bones.

If such a person becomes the emperor of Chen, who can be assured?

I am afraid that when the Western Regions or the grasslands invade, his first thought is not to resist, but to surrender. Once such a person sits on that position, the Great Chen will sooner or later perish...

In their view, even if the rebellious King Kang becomes the emperor, it is much better than the spineless Prince Duan.

After recognizing the true face of Prince Duan, everyone is very curious. I wonder what the Tang family will think when they know that the Prince Duan, whom they have supported for so many years, is such a thing.

In the Tang residence, Tang Huai and Tang Qi are also very upset.

Concubine Tang Hui is from the Tang family, which is the mother's family of Prince Duan. If they do not support Prince Duan and support Prince Kang, I am afraid that Prince Kang himself will not believe it.

So even if Prince Duan can no longer be supported, they can only bite the bullet.

With the strength of the Tang family in those days, they resisted enemies as fierce as tigers and cruel as wolves, but they could not defend against accomplices as stupid as pigs.

The actions of Prince Duan at the sacrifice ceremony had completely disappointed His Majesty, and he began to focus on Prince Huai and Prince Run. Through normal channels, Prince Duan could no longer sit in that position.

Tang Zhao sat in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand, and sighed: "Say he is a pig, but he has to prove that he is a dog. What is the difference between a pig and a dog? Anyway, they are all beasts. How can His Majesty let beasts sit on the throne?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Tang Qi glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you had a way? Come on, what else do you have?"

Tang Zhao stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk and sort it out. We'll talk about this matter tonight..."

Watching Tang Zhao walk out, Tang Qi's face eased slightly and said, "Prince Kang was imprisoned, and Concubine Zhang was banished to the cold palace. After all, we still got rid of them first."

In fact, the incident at the sacrifice to heaven this time and Prince Duan was abandoned did not cause much fluctuation in their hearts.

After all, before this, the Tang family had prepared for Prince Duan to be abandoned and tried their best to deal with Prince Kang.

Unexpectedly, they did everything they could to not cause much loss to Prince Kang and the Zhang family. This time, the actions of Prince Kang and the Zhang family put themselves in an irreversible situation.

The Tang family can be said to have picked up a big bargain for nothing.

Everyone thought that Prince Duan had faded out of the center of power, but they didn't know that the Tang family had been so powerful in Chen State for so many years, how could they not have a little backhand?

The two talked for a while, and then saw Tang Zhao coming in from outside again.

Tang Qi glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you going out?"

"I just learned something." Tang Zhao looked at them and said, "Tang Ning has been appointed as prime minister."

Hearing this, Tang Huai clenched his fists, and his expression was complicated.

...

Scholars often use passing the imperial examinations, entering the court, and being appointed as a marquis as a prime minister as a motivation to spur themselves on. In today's era, it is impossible to be appointed as a marquis, unless they can make great contributions like Dingguo Hou.

If the road to being a marquis is not feasible, then they can only be appointed as a prime minister.

But all the scholars in the world want to be prime ministers, but there are only two prime ministers. In order to maintain the stability of the court, the prime minister of Chen State will not be changed easily, unless he commits suicide like Feng Xiang. Ordinary people want to sit in the position of prime minister, unless they retire at old age, or simply wait until they die in the position of prime minister.

There has never been a prime minister who just passed the age of twenty.

Now there is one.

Your Majesty just issued an edict today, conferring Dingguo Hou Tang Ning as the right prime minister of the current dynasty. The edict has been posted all over the capital and will be announced to the world soon.

Before this, the position of right prime minister was vacant.

Although Zhou Shangshu, the former Minister of Personnel, had sat in this position for half a year, everyone knew that His Majesty had left this position for one person.

It was just because he was too young and His Majesty did not want everyone to have objections, so he temporarily appointed him as the left chancellor of the Ministry of Shangshu.

However, the officials of the Ministry of Shangshu knew that although Tang Ning's official position was only the left chancellor of the Ministry of Shangshu, he actually exercised the power of the right prime minister.

Now, His Majesty finally gave him this title, and there was no one in the court who objected.

Everyone knew that it was Tang Ning who put down the rebellion of King Kang a few days ago. His Majesty could not have rewarded a minor figure and not rewarded him, the greatest contributor.

Originally thought that he was in a high position and His Majesty had nothing to reward, but unexpectedly, His Majesty made this decision that shocked the capital after only a few days.

The Marquis of Dingguo, the Right Chancellor of the DPRK, and the General of the Imperial Guard, he has reached the pinnacle of both civil and military positions and titles. The name Tangning has become a legend in the Chen Kingdom a long time ago.

…

Tang Mansion.

Tang Ning was also caught off guard by this imperial edict. When Chen Huang chatted with him yesterday, he didn't mention this matter at all.

But if he had decided at that time, the topics we talked about with him yesterday would be nothing.

The edict was issued this morning. In the afternoon, the Tang family had already received dozens of guests who came to congratulate them. Later, Tang Ning couldn't take care of it anymore, so she simply told the concierge that if anyone came, tell them that he was not here and ask them to put down their gifts. That’s it.

In the evening, Xiao Jue walked in with Lu Ya holding her belly, looked at Tang Ning from a distance, and said, "Congratulations, Your Excellency..."

After becoming a general, Xiao Jue walked straighter and straighter. Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Same joy, General Xiao..."

This time King Kang rebelled, Zuo Xiaowei was obviously the biggest winner.

Tang Ning was granted the title of Prime Minister, Xiao Jue finally became a general, Chen Zhou also became a general, and the other generals were promoted to one rank. This achievement will greatly help their future promotions.

Lu Ya went to the backyard to find Tang Yaoyao. Xiao Jue sat opposite Tang Ning and said, "This time, King Run is more stable..."

If the Xiao family intends to help King Run, then he is indeed stable. The two ministers on the left and right of the dynasty, and the six ministries are almost his back garden. Coupled with the imperial guards under direct or indirect control, he can even make Emperor Chen abdicate now. .

Xiao Jue saw his expression was different and asked, "What are you worried about?"

Tang Ning said, "There is also King Huai."

King Kang rebelled, and King Huai benefited a lot. He almost became Emperor Chen's spokesperson in the court. If Emperor Chen finally changed his mind and wanted to pass the throne to King Huai, Zhao Yuan might have to rebel in order to sit on that throne. Location.

This is not what Tang Ning wants, nor is it what Zhao Yuan wants.

"King Huai?" Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "King Huai is the same as you. He can't even give birth to a son. Your Majesty will pass the throne to him. Who will he pass the throne to in the future? Why don't you think about it... "

Tang Yaoyao helped Lu Ya out. The latter looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "What are you talking about about the throne?"

"Nothing..." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "We said that King Kang rebelled, and he has no hope of inheriting the throne this time."

"Does this need to be said?" Lu Ya glanced at him and said, "By the way, I want to go back to the Lu family to live for a while. I miss my mother..."

"Go back to the Lu family?" Xiao Jue stood up suddenly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and then immediately showed a reluctant expression and asked: "How long do you plan to go back?"

The pregnant Lu Ya lived up to her reputation as a witch. These days, she was tortured to the point of going crazy. When she suddenly heard the good news, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.

Lu Ya said: "Ten days and a half months..."

"Ah, it's been so long haha..." Xiao Jue pinched his thigh violently, stopped laughing, sighed, and said, "Then I won't be able to see you for half a month..."

"You can go back with her." Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and said, "When a woman is pregnant, it will be good for the growth of the fetus if her husband is by her side."

The expression on Xiao Jue's face was stunned, she winked at him and asked, "Really?"

"Really." Tangning looked at him and said, "Don't forget, I'm also a doctor... What's wrong with your eyes? You're blinking. Do you want me to take a look?"
