Fortunate Young Gentleman

"Crack!"

In the carriage leading to the palace, Wei Jian took a bite of an apple. Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Is your Majesty's health really as the rumors outside?"

Wei Jian sighed and said, "It's even worse than the rumors outside. The imperial physician said that your Majesty's health may not last this month."

It's already the middle of the month, doesn't that mean that Emperor Chen doesn't even have half a month left?

Tang Ning frowned, looked at Wei Jian, and asked, "What's going on?"

Wei Jian shook his head and said, "Since Lord Tang left the capital, your Majesty's health has been getting worse day by day. He spends most of the day in a coma and gradually handed over government affairs to Prince Duan. Concubine Tang Hui took the opportunity to control the palace and banned the ministers from seeing the emperor on the grounds of his health. This time, it took a lot of trouble for us to pass on the news of Lord Tang's return to your Majesty..."

Tang Ning sighed, feeling a little complicated.

Although Emperor Chen's methods seemed a bit too cruel and ruthless to him, it was undeniable that he was a great ruler. However, no matter how great his achievements were during his reign, they would eventually become cold words in history books with his death.

The carriage was silent for a while, and Wei Jian spoke again, breaking the atmosphere.

He looked out the window and said unintentionally: "We know that there is a great hatred between Lord Tang and Prince Duan, but His Majesty has made a choice now. Lord Tang should still show some mercy to Prince Duan..."

He paused and added, "At least, while His Majesty is still in power..."

Wei Jian usually doesn't talk much, but today he took the initiative to talk a lot with Tang Ning, revealing more information.

Tang Ning looked at him, a strange look in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, are you really confident in handing over the Kingdom of Chen to Prince Duan?"

Wei Jian said: "Prince Run is young and cannot handle political affairs. Your Majesty is worried that he will be used by someone with ulterior motives. The princes who are enfeoffed outside are even more unbearable than Prince Duan. Your Majesty has no choice."

Obviously, the person with ulterior motives that Emperor Chen was talking about was the Fang family. Zhao Yuan was young. If he was made emperor, he would not be able to suppress the powerful ministers in the court. Secondly, Emperor Chen was afraid that the Fang family was too powerful. If he was not careful, the Kingdom of Chen might not be named Zhao.

Originally, after a few years, when Zhao Yuan grew up, Emperor Chen's concerns would disappear, but accidents always come so quickly, and his body no longer allows him to wait.

For Emperor Chen, Prince Duan is indeed the most helpless but also the most suitable choice.

Tang Ning found that Wei Jian seemed to have forgotten an important person, and asked: "What about Prince Huai?"

If measured by talent alone, all the princes, including Prince Run, are not more suitable for that position than Prince Huai.

Wei Jian said, "Prince Huai has a problem with his family background, so..."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Does Wei General Manager also want to tell me that it is because Prince Huai's mother has no status that Prince Huai is not qualified to be the emperor?"

Wei Jian looked at him for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "We, the servants, don't know what your majesty thinks."

Tang Ning no longer embarrassed Wei Jian. He had told him a lot of information, a lot of information he needed, and had stated his position.

The carriage drove into the palace and stopped outside the harem. Wei Jian took Tang Ning in. Seeing this, a maid guarding the door picked up her palace skirt and hurried to another palace.

Tang Ning did not enter Queen Chen's palace many times, that is, when he treated Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother.

He walked side by side with Wei Jian and asked casually, "Are the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu in good health?"

Wei Jian nodded and said, "The Queen Mother and Concubine Shu have always been in good health."

It seems that although Concubine Tang Hui controls the harem, she dare not take action against Concubine Shu, but this is only temporary. With Concubine Tang Hui's vicious means, she is afraid that as soon as Emperor Chen passes away, she will catch Prince Run, Prince Huai, and even Concubine Shu and other concubines in the harem. Judging from her previous style of doing things, it is possible to find a reason to let them be buried together.

Tang Ning and Wei Jian came to the door of the Yangshen Hall and were about to go in when a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Stop!"

Concubine Tang Hui walked out of the corridor on the left, looked at Tang Ning, and said in a deep voice: "As an outsider, is the harem a place you can come to?"

Wei Jian hurriedly explained: "My queen, this is His Majesty..."

Concubine Tang Hui glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you have the right to speak here?"

Wei Jian heard this, looked at her, and had to shut up.

"General Wei summoned me in the name of His Majesty, why can't I speak?" Tang Ning glanced at Concubine Tang Hui and continued, "Your Majesty summoned me. Let alone the harem, even if it was a sea of ​​fire and swords, I had to come."

Wei Jian glanced at Tang Ning without leaving any trace, and Concubine Tang Hui snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty asked you to die, would you go?"

Tang Ning smiled and said, "If the king wants me to die, I have to die. If Your Majesty wants you to die, I will personally give you three feet of white silk..."

Concubine Tang Hui's face was full of anger, her eyes stared at Tang Ning, and she said sternly, "How dare you!"

"You are the one who is so dareful!" Tang Ning's face sank, and he said, "I am the right prime minister of the current dynasty. His Majesty summoned me to discuss important state affairs. As a concubine, what qualifications do you have to stop me? The harem interferes in politics and disturbs the court. Do you know that I can join forces with my colleagues in the court to abolish your position as a concubine!"

When he said this, he did not hide the murderous intent in his heart.

No matter how ruthless Tang Huifei was, she was still just a woman. Tang Ning had traveled all over the country in the past two years and had seen many mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and her hands were stained with blood. How could his killing intent be something that an ordinary woman could withstand?

A chill came from the bottom of her heart. Tang Huifei's face turned pale, she stepped back a few steps, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you want to rebel!"

At this moment, she realized for herself that the young man in front of her was the right minister, General Zuo Xiaowei, who was decisive in killing and had great military achievements, and not the nephew who she had never paid attention to...

A smile appeared on Tang Ning's face and she said, "To stop His Majesty from summoning the Prime Minister, I think it is your Majesty who wants to rebel..."

Concubine Tang Hui was speechless by what he said. At this moment, several coughs came from the palace. With the support of two eunuchs, Emperor Chen walked out of the palace, looked at Concubine Tang Hui, and said: "He is the one I ordered." Wei Jian summoned me, there is nothing to do with you here, go down."

Concubine Tang Hui glanced at Tang Ning unwillingly, then remembered his look just now, her face turned even paler, she glared at Wei Jian fiercely, bowed and saluted Emperor Chen, and said, "I, my concubine, leave."

After Concubine Tang Hui left, Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning and said, "Come in."

Huang Chen was completely different from when Tang Ning left the capital.

In less than half a year, he had lost half of his body weight. His face was pale and his eyes were sunken. He didn't even need a medical doctor to diagnose him. Just by looking at him, ordinary people knew that he was not going to die soon.

Tang Ning followed Chen Huang into the Temple of Yang. Chen Huang sat on a chair, leaned forward and asked, "How is the situation in Guizhou?"

The hall was filled with smoke and the smell of incense. Tang Ning looked up at Emperor Chen and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Liang Kingdom want to restore the country in Guizhou, so there will be chaos in Guizhou."

"Liang Guoyu Party, Liang Guoyu Party again, haven't they already died in Jiangnan..." Chen Huang paused several times in one breath, and his voice was very low, as if he didn't have much strength.

Tang Ning explained: "The people I killed in Jiangnan were the remnants of the King of Guizhou, and the people who caused chaos in Guizhou were the King of Wu's party. But your Majesty, don't worry, I have ruined their plan. In a short time, there will be no more trouble in Guizhou." chaos."

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "I can rest assured that you are doing the work."

If in the past, upon hearing such news, Chen Huang would have laughed a few times to express his joy.

However, at this moment, there was no expression on his face, his eyes were a little hollow, and there was no sparkle.

Tangning lamented in her heart that a generation of heroes had finally reached this point...
