Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Huifei hanged herself, Tang brothers died, Duan Wang was deprived of his prince and crown prince titles and imprisoned in the deep palace.

His Majesty put aside the government affairs and concentrated on recuperating. All the affairs of the court were decided by the two prime ministers.

So many things happened in the capital in a short period of time. Even after a few days, the mood of the people in the capital has not subsided.

In half a year, Duan Wang's life can be said to be full of twists and turns. From being abandoned by His Majesty, to being valued again, to being appointed as the crown prince, to being demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the deep palace, it only took half a year.

No one expected that the Tang family and Tang Huifei would be so bold and intend to kill the emperor and rebel. They rose and fell because of this. From then on, there was no Huifei in the palace, and there was only one Tang family in the capital.

Counting the past of Prince Duan, after Prime Minister Tang left Beijing, he rose against the trend and dominated the court. Within half a month after Prime Minister Tang returned to Beijing, he went from a prince to a prisoner. If we push the time forward a few years, since the moment the young man named Tang Ning stepped into the capital, the Tang family and Prince Duan, who were once in their heyday, have gradually declined.

The Tang family, Prime Minister Feng, Prince Kang, Prince Duan..., his former opponents have all returned to dust, but his power has reached the peak.

After the Prince Duan's rebellion, the momentum of Right Prime Minister Tang Ning has reached a terrifying level. There is no doubt that after His Majesty let go of the government and rested his mind, Right Prime Minister Tang Ning has become the real master of the court.

In the Yangshen Palace, Tang Ning bowed to Emperor Chen on the bed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Since the end of the incense for calming the spirit, Emperor Chen's complexion has improved a lot, and the whole person looks more energetic.

But Tang Ning knew that his body had actually suffered irreversible damage. In the days ahead, if he ignored state affairs and only focused on health preservation, he might have another ten years to live.

But if he still wanted to be a hard-working emperor, his body would be exhausted within a year. By then, even if Elder Sun came in person, he could not save him.

"No need for courtesy." Emperor Chen waved his hand at him and said, "Thanks to you for this matter."

Tang Ning said, "This is what I should do."

Emperor Chen's eyes showed a trace of relief, and he said, "I originally wanted to make Prince Duan the crown prince, but he committed such a heinous crime, so he naturally can no longer bear this important responsibility. I want to pass the throne to Yuan'er in a few years. Yuan'er is honest and kind, and if he is not too young, I will pass the throne to him now..."

After Prince Duan's failure, Emperor Chen had no choice. Tang Ning was not surprised that he made such a decision.

At this time, Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "If it weren't for you this time, I would have gone to see the late emperor. I wanted to reward you, but after thinking about it, I can't think of what to reward you..."

Tang Ning was the right prime minister in literature and the general in martial arts. His title was also at the top of the powerful. One step further, he would be crowned king.

It's a pity that after the establishment of the Chen Kingdom, there was an ancestral precept that the opposite sex could not be crowned king. Emperor Chen thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any reward for him.

He had no shortage of money, and his official position could not be promoted. Over the years, he had made great contributions one after another, so that he had no more rewards and titles to offer now...

Tang Ning cupped his hands and said, "I have a request, please agree to it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Tang Ning said, "I beg Your Majesty to allow me to resign and return home."

The three-year period with Li Tianlan has expired. Tang Ning returned to Beijing this time to take Zhao Man away with him.

But he didn't expect that the matter in the capital would be settled so quickly. Now that Concubine Hui was dead and the Tang family was gone, no one could stop Zhao Yuan from taking that position, and it was time for him to leave.

Tang Ning had no interest in government affairs, and even if he was promoted to the position of prime minister or general, it had no appeal to him.

Moreover, he had already reached the pinnacle that a minister could achieve. If he continued, he would kick Emperor Chen off that position and take it himself.

"What?" After hearing this, Emperor Chen was stunned for a moment, but his brows were already furrowed. He asked, "You said you want to resign?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "I have been running around for these years, and I am exhausted physically and mentally. I just want to spend the rest of my life with my family. I have no interest in court affairs..."

"The rest of my life?" Emperor Chen glared at him unhappily and said, "You have just passed the age of twenty, and your hair has not grown out yet. What do you mean by the rest of your life?"

Tang Ning showed embarrassment on his face and said, "I have grown up..."

"Okay, I know you are working hard. You have been running around for the past few years and have done a lot of things for me. You don't have much time to spend with your family. From now on, I will give you a year off. If one year is not enough, I will give you two or three years. If three years are not enough, I will give you five years..." Emperor Chen glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "When Yuan'er comes to power, I will still need you to assist him well..."

Tang Ning did not insist any more. He knew that Emperor Chen's words were already extremely tolerant of him, even indulgent.

But Tang Ning never thought of spending his whole life in Chen State. He had already paid back all he owed Emperor Chen. As for how Chen State would develop in Zhao Yuan's hands in three to five years, it all depended on his own ability.

"Anything else?" Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "If it's still about resigning, don't tell me anymore."

Since Emperor Chen did not agree to resign, Tang Ning stayed in Yangshen Palace for a while and then got up to say goodbye.

Chen Huang leaned on the head of the bed, opened his closed eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said: "How can it be so easy to lie to my favorite daughter and run away?"

Tang Mansion Villa.

A room somewhere in the inner courtyard.

Tang Ning held Zhao Man in her arms and told her what had just happened.

Zhao Man's face showed a nervous look and she asked: "My father doesn't agree, what should I do..."

Although her father had already acquiesced to her and Tangning's affairs, she also wanted to be his wife openly and openly like her sisters, instead of being secretive just holding him like she was doing now.

Tangning held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have already planned it."

Resigning was just a test for Chen Huang. It would be great if he agreed. If he didn't agree, Tangning had many backup plans.

With his current ability, it is not difficult to take Zhao Man out of the capital secretly.

When Zhao Man heard his words, she immediately felt relieved. She put her hands around his neck, raised her head and gently touched Tang Ning's lips, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you for saving my father."

"Who made him my father-in-law?" Tangning looked at her with a smile on her face and said, "I also want to thank him for giving birth to such a beautiful and lovely daughter."

Zhao Man blinked at him with watery eyes. Although her face turned redder, her heart was very happy. Whenever her sweetheart said these words, her heart felt sweet...

So she wrapped her arms tighter and raised her head again, but this time it wasn't gentle.

"Brother Tangning..."

Fang Xinyue ran in from outside and saw the situation inside the house. She immediately covered her eyes, her big eyes shining between her fingers, and she kept saying: "I didn't see anything..."

Zhao Man blushed and ran out. Tangning stood up, cleared her throat to cover up her embarrassment, and asked, "Why didn't you go find Xiaoxiao?"

Thinking of what happened just now, a blush appeared on Fang Xinyue's face and she said, "Dad and uncle are here, waiting for you outside..."

After saying that, she ran out quickly.

Fang Xinyue and Xiao Xiaoqing are sisters, and Tang Ning has always treated her as a younger sister. She can go in and out of the inner courtyard at will in the Tang family, and is no different from her master.

Tang Ning didn't feel anything before, but after today's incident, she felt that if she did anything in the room from now on, she should remember to close the door.

He straightened his clothes and walked out of the inner courtyard. Brother Fang Hong was already waiting in the hall.
