Fortunate Young Gentleman

Qiandi was once the territory of Liang State. Since the disintegration of Liang State, Qiandi has been in a state of chaos.

Chen State was happy to see the chaos in Qiandi. After all, as a neighbor, Chen State did not want anyone to reunify Qiandi, because it might bring trouble to them.

After all, Qiandi was too close to Jiangnan, and because of its unique geographical advantages, it could attack and retreat. If they had any intentions towards Jiangnan, many people in Chen State would not be able to sleep at night.

Therefore, over the years, Emperor Chen has deployed a large number of secret agents in Qiandi, monitoring their every move all the time.

More than half a year ago, they discovered the unusual movements in Qiandi. At the same time, the secret agents deployed by Chen State in Qiandi also lost contact.

Without secret agents, the court lost its eyes to monitor Qiandi. During this period, Emperor Chen sent secret agents to Qiandi three times, but these secret agents entered Qiandi and no news came back.

It is easy to know that something must have happened in Qiandi, something that Emperor Chen did not want to happen.

It was about the safety of Jiangnan, so he had no choice but to pay attention to it.

Emperor Chen didn't know what happened in Qiandi, but Tang Ning knew it very well. For decades, the Wan Gu Sect had no saint. This time, they were determined to select a saint no matter what. This was about the affiliation of the Wan Gu Sect and the situation in Qiandi. It would be strange if the whole Qiandi didn't boil over.

After hearing what Emperor Chen said, Wang Xiang's face became solemn and he said, "Your Majesty, although Qiandi does not belong to my Chen Kingdom, it is closely related to Jiangnan. The affairs of Qiandi cannot be ignored..."

"I know." Emperor Chen frowned and said, "The spies I sent to Qiandi were all elite spies. Even they disappeared one by one. Who else can I send?"

After Emperor Chen finished speaking, the palace fell into a long silence.

The situation in Qiandi was special. It was not like the grassland or the Western Regions, where troops could be sent directly to suppress it. Moreover, it was not easy to send troops directly before figuring out what happened in Qiandi.

Now that the grasslands have just been pacified, and the Western Regions are not stable, the State of Chen cannot be distracted to send troops to Guizhou.

However, it is obviously not that easy to find out what happened in Guizhou.

The people of the Secret Service are all elites selected from the imperial guards, and the ones sent by Your Majesty are the elite of the elite. If they can't complete this task, who else can?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Guizhou."

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and suddenly a voice sounded.

Tang Ning took two steps forward, and when everyone was surprised, he spoke again: "If there is a change in Qiandi, it will immediately endanger Jiangnan. I am willing to go to Qiandi to investigate. Please grant your permission."

"Not appropriate!" Before Emperor Chen spoke, Wang Xiang waved his hand and said firmly: "Lord Tang is the right prime minister. How can you take such a risk?"

"Lord Tang must not do that!" Qian Shuo, the Minister of Revenue, spoke up immediately, saying: "If Lord Tang has any mishaps, it will be a loss for the entire court and the entire Chen State..."

...

After Wang Xiang and the Minister of Revenue spoke, the ministers in the hall responded one after another. Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "My dear ministers, what you said makes sense. As the right prime minister, you have a heavy responsibility and cannot take risks. There is no need to mention this matter again..."

Hearing this, Tang Ning retreated silently again.

He had originally planned that if there was no news about Su Mei, he would go to Qiandi to find her in person after spending the New Year with them.

The reason why he stood up at this moment was because he knew that the matter in Qiandi was caused by them. How could he feel at ease if Emperor Chen sent someone else to go there himself?

Tang Ning was not worried when his self-recommendation was rejected, because he knew that Emperor Chen would find him sooner or later.

The matter in Qiandi was not discussed after all, and Emperor Chen could only order everyone to withdraw first.

After the last person left the hall, he rubbed his eyebrows and showed a tangled look on his face.

After the first spy sent to Qiandi disappeared, he sent the elite among the spies the second time, and even sent a top spy the third time.

However, their results were the same, which led to him having no one to send. Even the top spy was stuck in Qiandi. Could he still count on the officials in the court?

Of course, there was one exception.

Over the years, except for escorting the princess to marry the Chu State, Tang Ning had done everything very well, which saved him a lot of worries.

He didn't want to go into detail about the marriage, nor did he want to care about it. With such a minister who could make him rest assured, nothing was unforgivable.

Of the candidates to go to Guizhou for investigation, his favorite was naturally Tang Ning, and he was the one he trusted the most.

But Tang Ning was already the right prime minister of the dynasty today. How could he, the emperor, save face by letting the prime minister of a country take risks and do the job of a secret agent?

But if Tang Ning didn't go, who else could he choose?

Jiangnan was the granary of the Chen Kingdom. He didn't want Jiangnan to be in chaos again. The Chen Kingdom had finally settled down, and he would never tolerate any more mistakes in the country.

He paced in the hall, his face changing constantly. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

...

After Tang Ning left the imperial study, he did not return to the Shangshu Province, but stood in front of the square in front of the imperial study.

There was a bridge in front of the square, where Zhao Yuan and several little girls were playing.

Maybe it was because Grand Secretary Zhang was very strict with him, Zhao Yuanyuan had become thinner and thinner these days. Although his figure now could not be described as well-proportioned, he was not as fat as before.

King Huai came from behind and saw him standing there. He stopped and asked, "Master Tang, won't you return to Shangshu Yamen?"

"There's no rush." ​​Tangning looked forward and asked casually, "What do you think of Prince Run, Your Highness?"

King Huai looked at Zhao Yuan and said, "Yuan'er is talented, willing to endure hardship, and has a filial heart. These are all very rare."

He looked at Zhao Yuan on the bridge and said: "When we were children, we didn't like to listen to the lectures of the bachelor, and we especially hated arithmetic. Yuan'er studied for several hours every day, and played with abacus. She was much better than I was back then. "

As soon as King Huai finished speaking, Zhao Yuan placed his abacus on the ground on the stone bridge, stepped on it, and slid down the slope of the bridge...

King Huai looked at this scene blankly, coughed slightly, and looked a little unnatural.

He looked away from the front and said, "It's rare to be able to always maintain a childlike innocence..."

It is good to always maintain a childlike innocence, but these things are not needed by the emperor.

Although Tang Ning has been paving the way for Zhao Yuan, if you put aside your personal emotions and look at it rationally, Zhao Yuan is not suitable for that supreme position.

He wanted to be emperor just because he wanted to marry his sister from the Zhang family, Wang family, and Bai family. His motives were not pure.

When doing something, motivation is very important. If even the motivation is wrong, how can you ensure that he can do it well?

In Tang Ning's opinion, the most suitable person for this position is King Huai.

Of course, being suitable does not necessarily mean that Tang Ning supports him. Zhao Yuan's path has been paved by people like them, and no one can stop him.

King Huai stopped continuing the topic, glanced at him, and asked, "What are Master Tang waiting for?"

Tang Ning didn't answer. She turned around and saw Wei Jian walking from behind.

Wei Jian walked up to him, smiled and said, "Master Tang, your Majesty has summoned..."
