Fortunate Young Gentleman

The Text of Ruyi Xiaolangjun Chapter 974 A Storm Starts Zhao Man opened her mouth in surprise and stared at him blankly.

Tang Ning explained: "Originally, I sent an envoy to the capital to ask His Majesty to marry you, but His Majesty did not agree. Instead, he made Princess Anyang a princess, and then things became what they are now."

Zhao Man was stunned and said: "You mean, Sister Anyang is going to marry you?"

Tang Ning said: "On the surface... it is true."

"You, you..." Zhao Man finally came back to her senses and said angrily: "How can this be, I will go and ask my father to take back his order, it is obviously me who wants to marry..."

Tang Ning hurriedly pulled her and said: "Won't this make His Majesty suspicious?"

Zhao Man sat in his arms aggrieved, lowered her head, and whispered "It was obviously me who came first, but they didn't follow the order. Now even Sister Anyang has to line up in front of me..."

Tang Ning sighed softly. He really felt a little guilty towards Zhao Man. This was supposed to be a chance for her to marry in glory, but it was ruined by Emperor Chen...

Tang Ning thought about it, looked down at her, and said, "That doesn't count. Even if she married earlier, she has to line up behind you and call you sister..."

Zhao Man raised her head suddenly and said in surprise, "Really?"

Tang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What she cared about was really just the question of who was older and who was younger. If this situation happened to Tang Yaoyao, Tang Ning would have been torn into pieces long ago.

Tang Ning accompanied Zhao Man for a while, but in order to avoid criticism, he agreed with her on the time to meet next time and prepared to leave the palace.

He walked to the palace gate, and a carriage slowly stopped at the palace gate. King Huai got off the carriage and walked towards the palace gate.

After the two greeted each other from a distance, they quickly separated.

Zhao Man has returned to Beijing. Tang Ning's last mission in Beijing is to take her away safely, but because of Bai Jin's words, Tang Ning once again focused on King Huai.

Back home, Tang Ning temporarily suppressed his suspicion of King Huai, walked into the yard, looked at Princess Anyang sitting in the yard, and asked: "Xiao Man is back, have you visited her in the palace?"

"No, no..., I'll go see her later." Princess Anyang shook her head, her eyes evasive, looking like a thief.

Prince Huai and Prince Fu's family didn't walk far. Tang Ning looked at Princess Anyang and asked, "What kind of person is Prince Huai?"

"Prince Huai's brother?" Princess Anyang looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Just curious." Tang Ning smiled and said, "He is talented, steady and mature. There are very few young people like him."

"Maybe it has something to do with his childhood experience." Princess Anyang shook her head and said, "Concubine Yang died early, and the Queen who raised him also died early. He was alone in the palace. I have been bullied a lot, so I have developed my current personality. "

Princess Anyang rolled her eyes at him after she finished speaking, saying, "You sound like young people are like you... However, you and my brother, the King Huai, are really similar in some ways."

Tang Ning asked, "Equally handsome?"

Princess Anyang glanced at him and said, "You are very calm in everything you do, and you are confident and confident of victory..."

Tang Ning himself sometimes does not do things perfectly, but he agrees with Princess Anyang's evaluation of the King Huai.

In other words, if he wants to rebel, he may have made all the preparations.

The father-in-law of the King Huai is the general of the Right Feather Guard, responsible for half of the defense of the palace. If he joins forces with the Li family, he will be very close to the supreme position.

I am afraid that even the Emperor Chen would not have thought that the emperor's guards responsible for guarding the palace would rebel against him.

Although he had guessed the possible actions of the King Huai, Tang Ning always felt that something was wrong.

If King Huai really wanted to rebel, then his flaws were too obvious, and such flaws would obviously not appear in a meticulous person like King Huai.

Different strategies are needed to deal with different opponents. If King Huai is standing opposite him, Tang Ning must be extremely careful.

In the next few days, his eyes were always on King Huai, but King Huai did not make any unusual moves. He just obeyed the order of Emperor Chen and dealt with the end of the Liang Kingdom remnant.

Tang Ning's sight was all on King Huai, but just outside his sight, something happened that shocked the capital.

The newly appointed assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice wanted to make a good political achievement. He turned over a lot of old cases from the case room, hoping to make some achievements and establish his own majesty in the Ministry of Justice.

This Huang Shilang, who was able to sit in the position of Shilang of the Ministry of Justice, was quite capable. He actually solved two old cases in a row, entered the public's vision, and became a rising star in the court.

This seemed to inspire his fighting spirit even more. He plunged into the case room of the Ministry of Justice without thinking about anything else. Just a few days ago, he actually found another suspicious case.

And this case was really a great case.

More than 20 years ago, your majesty's favorite concubine Yang Fei and the queen died of illness one after another. Since then, the harem has officially become a situation where the three concubines Tang Huifei, Fang Shufei, and Zhang Xianfei are in full control.

Especially Tang Huifei, she has been with your majesty for the shortest time, but in a short time, she became the uncrowned master of the harem and controlled the harem for 20 years.

It was not that no one suspected the cause of death of Concubine Yang and the Queen, but after an investigation by the Ministry of Justice, their deaths were finally determined to be due to illness. This incident caused quite a stir at the time, but for more than 20 years, no one remembered these things.

The new Minister Huang of the Ministry of Justice was also very skilled. He found several officials of the Ministry of Justice 20 years ago and actually collected some clues that were not recorded by the Ministry of Justice.

After that, he followed the clues and found an old maid who served the Queen at the time. From her mouth, he dug out some secrets that no one knew.

When he wrote a memorial about several doubts in the case and handed it over, he already had a lot of clues in his hands, enough to prove that there was another secret behind the death of the Queen and Concubine Yang.

When he wrote a letter to the court requesting that the Ministry of Justice allow the Ministry of Justice to re-investigate the case of the year, the news also leaked out, causing an uproar in the capital.

There has never been a shortage of major cases in the capital. In the past two years, there have been two rebellions by the princes. The people of the capital have long been accustomed to it. However, this major case from more than 20 years ago has only been brought up again now, which has ignited the gossip fire in the hearts of the people of the capital.

Although there are only a few words of news leaked from the Ministry of Justice, it is not difficult for the people to imagine a harem drama more than 20 years ago from these few words.

After the death of Concubine Yang and the Queen, Concubine Tang Hui has been firmly in the position of Concubine Hui since then, dominating the harem. Naturally, she is the biggest beneficiary of this matter. At that time, the Tang family was at its peak of power and seemed to have the ability to murder Concubine Yang and the Queen.

Among them, many people's speculations are even more bold.

At that time, the Tang family was in its heyday, and His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and there was no one around him to use, and he could not suppress the remaining forces of several princes in the court at all.

Later, with the help of the Tang family, His Majesty cleared all the opposition voices in the court and sat on the throne completely. After that, the status of the Tang family and Concubine Tang Hui became higher and higher. After the death of Concubine Yang and the Queen, Concubine Tang Hui completely controlled the harem.

Before His Majesty became the emperor, the Tang family could choose more than just His Majesty. Later, it was proved that the Tang family's vision was not wrong. With the help of the Tang family, His Majesty's road to succession was like a god's help. After His Majesty became the emperor, the Tang family also reached a new peak. The Tang family's legitimate daughter became Concubine Hui and gave birth to Prince Duan...

The Tang family will not do a loss-making business. Among them, could it be that His Majesty and the Tang family reached a deal, and letting Concubine Tang Hui become the master of the harem was the condition of this deal...

Because this speculation is really bold, even treasonous, the people dare not discuss it openly, but in the dark, one whirlpool after another was rolled up.

When a huge whirlpool was rolled up in the capital with the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice as its center, Tang Ning stood in the courtyard, looking at the gloomy sky, as if he saw the pair of huge hands stirring up the storm behind the dark clouds.
