"Prime Minister Wang!"

"Hello, Prime Minister Wang!"

...

Seeing Prime Minister Wang appear, the officials of the Shangshu Province stood up and saluted.

Their faces were full of confusion and shock. There were rumors that Prime Minister Wang was seriously ill at home and didn't have many days left to live, but looking at him, he was obviously in good health.

Upon hearing this, the Shangshu Zuocheng's face changed drastically, and he immediately said: "Prime Minister Wang, this..."

Prime Minister Wang glanced at him and asked: "Why, this Shangshu Province, my words are no longer valid?"

The Shangshu Zuocheng's face changed again, and he immediately said: "I dare not..."

Not to mention that what Prime Minister Wang said was in accordance with the law. Even if he really disregarded the law, he dared not say a word.

No matter how powerful Prince Duan was, Prime Minister Wang was the only one in power in the Shangshu Province. He had served as Prime Minister for many years. In terms of prestige and influence in the court, even the Right Prime Minister Tang Ning could not compare with him.

After Shangshu Zuocheng returned to his position, he hurriedly left the Shangshu Province on the pretext of an excuse.

Wang Xiang returned to the Shangshu Province, and the first thing he did was to stand up for Tang Ning, which means that the left and right ministers may have stood together. This matter is of great importance, and he must inform Prince Duan as soon as possible.

Wang Xiang's return to the Shangshu Province is the biggest thing that has happened in the Shangshu Province in recent times.

His appearance not only shattered the rumors about his serious illness, but also intervened in the affairs of Tang Ning and Prince Duan as soon as he arrived at the Shangshu Yamen, which directly showed his position.

The left and right ministers joined forces and stood on the opposite side of Prince Duan. Such news was enough to shock the court and the public.

Just when the officials of the Shangshu Province had their own speculations in their hearts, Tang Ning also came to the Shangshu Province in advance.

He originally planned to rest at home for a while, but who would have thought that Prince Duan was so impatient, so he had to go back to the Yamen to deal with these things.

As soon as he arrived at the Shangshu Province, Tang Ning learned from Han Youcheng that Wang Xiang, who had been sick for many days, had just returned to the Shangshu Province and transferred the case of Jingzhao Yin's misjudgment from the Dali Temple to the Ministry of Justice.

The Dali Temple was the man of Prince Duan, but the Ministry of Justice was ruled by Song Yi. There was no need for the Ministry of Justice to be partial. As long as the laws of the State of Chen were followed, his father-in-law would at most be fined a few months' salary.

Tang Ning walked to the Shangshu Room, where Wang Xiang was sitting, flipping through a memorial.

He looked up at Tang Ning and said, "It's not easy for you to do anything about this matter, so I have to step up."

Tang Ning bowed to him to show his gratitude.

Wang Xiang shook his head and asked, "Do you know why I didn't want to intervene in the affairs of Prince Run before?"

Tang Ning said, "Because of Your Majesty."

"It's best if you can understand me." Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Your Majesty wouldn't think anything of the Fang family alone. If you, me, and the Zhang family were added, Your Majesty would be vigilant. At that time, it would backfire..."

He paused and said, "But now it's different. Your Majesty insists on choosing Prince Duan. It's a disaster for the court and the world. I have to stand up..."

Tang Ning thought for a while and asked, "What if Your Majesty insists on making Prince Duan the crown prince?"

Wang Xiang sighed and said, "As a minister, if Your Majesty is wrong, I must dare to point out Your Majesty's mistakes..."

The old fox Wang Xiang was finally willing to stand up. Whether he was advising or forcing, as long as he stood up, the pressure on Tang Ning would be much less.

At the same time, in the Prince Duan's mansion, the news that Wang Xiang had returned to the Ministry of Shangshu had just been learned from the Minister of the Left. The Prince Duan was shocked and could not understand: "What did you say? Isn't that old man dying? Why did he return to the Ministry of Shangshu?"

The Minister of the Left looked bitter and said: "Your Highness, the rumors outside may be false. I saw with my own eyes that Wang Xiang's face was ruddy and his steps were steady. He didn't look sick at all..."

"This old man dared to ruin my business!" The Prince Duan's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said: "Is he also colluding with the surname Tang?"

Tang Ning alone was a bit too much for him to handle, and with Wang Xiang, these two people joined hands, but they represented most of the court. No matter how conceited he was, he knew that with his current strength, he could not defeat Wang Xiang and Tang Ning together.

Shangshu Zuocheng said: "It doesn't matter whether they collude or not. What's important is that the case of Jingzhao Yin's dereliction of duty has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice, and we can no longer interfere."

"Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Justice..." Prince Duan said coldly, "Song Yi has always refused to submit to me. When I become emperor, his career as a minister will also be over..."

Shangshu Zuocheng looked at Prince Duan and asked: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Prince Duan waved his hand and said: "That old guy is not easy to mess with. I don't want to confront him at this time. However, he won't be proud for long. I will settle accounts with him in two months!"

Obviously, Prince Duan didn't want to confront Wang Xiang head-on. Judging from the current situation, it is irrational to offend Wang Xiang. Shangshu Zuocheng came out of Prince Duan's mansion and gave up some thoughts. He returned to the Ministry of Shangshu.

When he stepped into the government office and saw a young figure in the hall, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down, forced a smile, greeted "Prime Minister Tang", and sat back in his seat.

When the two prime ministers were away, he had the final say in the Shangshu Province. Now that the two prime ministers were back, Prince Duan did not dare to act rashly, so he naturally had to keep his head down and behave himself.

It's just that he is still a little uneasy in his heart. Right Prime Minister Tang Ning was nicknamed "Careful". This time he laid such a big trap for his father-in-law, Jingzhao Yin Zhongmingli. If he takes revenge, Zuo Cheng, a mere minister, It may not be able to withstand it.

But if you think about it carefully, Prince Duan will be the crown prince in a few days. Although Tang Ning is the right minister, she doesn't dare to touch the crown prince's people...

Shangshu Zuo Cheng was uneasy, and other officials in Shangshu Province were also curious. The right minister almost suffered a loss under Shangshu Zuo Cheng this time. According to his character, he will definitely come back with revenge, but Li Qi's background is too strong. In a few days , King Duan is the prince. When the time comes, His Majesty will be seriously ill and the prince will be in charge of the affairs. How can King Duan, who has already moved into the East Palace, spare him?

When everyone was curious about whether the Prime Minister would take revenge, they looked up and saw that Tang Ning was already walking towards Zuo Cheng, the Minister.

When Minister Zuo Cheng saw Tang Ning walking towards him, his heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile on his face and asked, "Does Mr. Tang have anything to do with your subordinate?"

"It's not a big deal." Tang Ning smiled and said, "Li Zuocheng is a new face in Shangshu Province, so it's natural to get to know him..."

Tangning looked at Li Qi and asked, "Li Zuocheng, are you hot?"

Li Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Xiaguan is not heat-resistant and sweats easily..."

"The summer in the capital is indeed very hot." Tangning looked at him and said, "If you have a chance, Mr. Li, you can go to the grassland for a walk. The summer there is very cool and the climate is extremely pleasant..."

After Tangning said this, she left with a smile.

Li Qi was relieved but at the same time he was very confused. Right Minister Tang Ning came over specially. He couldn't be concerned about whether he was hot or not, right?

He shook his head. Although he didn't know why Tangning said those words, it was obvious that he was afraid.

Even if she had set a trap for Jing Zhaoyin, Tang Ning did not dare to do anything to him with Prince Duan standing behind him.

After being completely relieved, Shangshu Zuocheng Li Qi had a peaceful sleep. When he came to Shangshu Province the next day, he unexpectedly found a few strange faces in Shangshu's room.

Those people were very strong and looked a little savage, as if they were talking to Wang Xiang.

Li Qi was surprised and asked a colleague: "Who are these people?"

The official looked over and said, "Oh, those are the envoys from the grassland. The king summoned them to discuss something..."

Li Qi asked in surprise: "What can Prime Minister Wang and those barbarians have to discuss?"

The official said: "It seems that the imperial court is sending a few envoys to the grassland. In order to show that we attach great importance to the grassland, the Shangshu Province will also send some people there..."
