Volume 1: Lingdong Mountain Snow Chapter 221 Past Events
Returning to the study and sitting alone in the chair, Tang Jin was inexplicably a little depressed, with a feeling that he had done something wrong, but his mind replayed Tang Duo's appearance of being much older in an instant for a long time.
"Doesn't that seem strange?" At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded, and Pei Ming, who was dressed in green clothes, appeared in Tang Jin's study at some point.
"Godfather, why do you say my father...... Will it look like that? Tang Jin didn't complain about Pei Ming's elusiveness as usual, nor did he ask the other party if he knew about the conversation between himself and Tang Duo. In fact, if Pei Ming wasn't there just now, how could it be so coincidental, as soon as he walked with his front foot, he followed with his back foot? At this time, Tang Jin is not in the mood to say those nonsense, so he just gets straight to the point.
Pei Ming didn't answer him directly when he heard this, but picked up a teacup on the table and played with it like an antique, and said after a long time: "I'll tell you a story." ”
Tang Jin didn't say anything when he heard this, but just nodded slightly. Pei Ming didn't turn his head and didn't know if he saw it, but he still preached to himself: "Tang Tianqin, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was diligent and loved the people all his life, and there were only one queen and two concubines in the harem. ”
"My dad is the second? Shouldn't it be the boss? Tang Jin said strangely. In fact, he has been strange about this for a long time, as a person who has an uncle and a second uncle, Tang Jin said that his father is old, is it one and a five?
Pei Ming didn't explain much about this, but said lightly: "The eldest prince is from the queen, and he is the son-in-law, and he does not participate in the ranking of the princes." But he is indeed much older than your father. ”
As soon as he said this, Tang Jin understood, raised his hand and motioned to the other party to continue, Tang Jin entered the listening mode again, and Pei Ming also sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "The five princes all have amazing talents. The eldest prince is good at the art of war and leads the soldiers like a god; The three princes are good at business and win by tricks; The four princes are good at power and strategy, and their tongues are like springs; The five princes are good at management and are quite popular with the people; As for the second prince Tang Duo...... Good at force, but at the same time the others will be a little bit. ”
At the end of speaking, Pei Ming couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, as if he recalled the past. Tang Jin's understanding of this is: "My father will do everything." ”
Later, the ten thousand sons began to seize the heir, and the second prince crushed many princes with amazing talents. In order to learn, you can argue with the great Confucianism for three days and three nights, and you are speechless when you argue it; As an official, he can be benevolent and prosperous, and he has solved the perennial floods in the southern region in one fell swoop; For the general, you can take a thousand people through tens of thousands of barbarians, seven in and seven out. The world said that the second prince and his own person are worthy of Mr. Silence's words
'Wen can put pen to peace in the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world', it can be said that Tang Duo back then was almost a sure prince. ”
Pei Ming said, with a look of reminiscence on his face. However, Tang Jin on the side twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, with a speechless look on his face. Don't blame him for his appearance, it's really difficult for him to connect the Tang Duo in his cognition with the one in the other party's words, these are two people at all, right? And what's going on with all this slot?
"Argument for three days and three nights...... The old gentleman is afraid that he will not be able to speak until he is tired and fainted! Solving the flood ...... in the south How do I remember that there are no big rivers in the south? What kind of water problem to solve? There are no rivers, but there are seas, don't reclaim the sea! As for the seven in and seven out...... My father's surname is Tang and not Zhao, should I have been born a few years earlier and tied to him in order to meet the occasion? ”
Although the slots were full, Tang Jin endured it after all. However, if you think about it carefully, what Pei Ming said is not necessarily false, although there may be false exaggerations, but Tang Duo's ability Tang Jin believes it, not to mention anything else, just a few years to turn the most backward Eastern Regions of the Five Domains into another trade holy land no less than the Southern Regions, which has been a trade holy land since ancient times, Tang Duo's ability is definitely there, and it is definitely much stronger than other princes and even the current emperor.
"So...... Why did my father miss out on the throne? Tang Jin looked at Pei Mingdao, in fact, he already had a general answer in his heart when he asked this.
Pei Ming heard this, his face showed a rare trace of sadness and self-blame, and there was even a little anger between his eyebrows, only to see him crush the cup in his hand, ignoring the palm that was stabbed with blood from the fragments, almost squeezing out of his teeth, and said a word, "I." ”
"Sure enough!" As Tang Jin expected, although Tang Duo is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, Tang Duo will definitely not be emotional about the other four brothers who target him everywhere and do not want to put him to death all the time. So there are only three people in the world who can let him put the throne at his fingertips, Pei Ming, Wang Xuan'er, and Tang Jin, considering that Tang Jin was not born at the time, and his own mother has never said anything about this, but Pei Ming has been talking about similar things all day long, and even in order to give himself a little more help in winning the heirs, he did not hesitate to murder Fang Jieqing, does Tang Duo need to say more about who gave up the throne?
"What happened back then?" Tang Jin asked calmly. He knew that Pei Ming didn't want to recall these things, after all, judging from his performance over the years, his heart was full of guilt for causing Tang Duo to lose the throne, and recalling the original incident would only make him feel more uncomfortable. But even so, Tang Jin still asked with an iron heart, because he needed to know what happened back then, otherwise
He couldn't make the next choice.
"Someone kidnapped Qing'er......" Pei Ming's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and only said one thing at the beginning, and the whole person was faintly unable to control his own trend.
"I ...... Probably got it. Tang Jin glanced at Pei Ming's current state and stopped him. In fact, just at the beginning, Tang Jin can probably understand the whole situation of getting along, and when it comes to kidnapping, it will naturally be followed by a threat or a rescue drama. Considering the rule that ten thousand sons can't take the initiative to give up, it is not difficult for Tang Jin to guess that Tang Duo should have violated the rules by helping Pei Ming save this "Qing'er" and was disqualified by Dingtian Pavilion, so he changed from a crown prince to a prince. As for who this Qing'er is, just look at Pei Ming's current expression, you can know that this Qing'er is probably the godmother she has never met, and she should not have been rescued, or died in some accident.
"So, my father is very unwilling?" Tang Jin seemed to understand the reason why Tang Duo was so decadent.
"Willingly?" Pei Ming chuckled lightly when he heard this, the laughter seemed to be mocking but also like self-deprecation, "How could he be willing?" You don't know him back then, Tang Duo back then, high-spirited and empty-eyed, this is not pride, but because whether it is the older generation or his peers, he is enough to look down on everyone regardless of ability or talent, and the throne is almost in his pocket. You may imagine that no one was fighting for the throne from the moment Wanzi won the throne, everyone was fighting for the throne, and the throne seemed to belong to Tang Duo as a matter of course. And he also has lofty ideals and ambitions, and wants to rely on the supreme imperial power to achieve them, but all this ...... It's all because of me...... Ruined ......"
"So, my dad pinned his hopes on me, didn't he?" Tang Jin looked at Pei Ming, who was blaming himself in front of him, and showed a smile that was the same, "In your eyes, I who am sleepwalking in Wonderland and obtaining the inheritance of immortals has the same ability as him back then, or even surpassing him, and I have also shown enough ability over the years, so he, or rather, you pinned your hopes on me, wanting me to win the throne, and then realize the ambitions and ideals that he failed to achieve back then through my hands one by one." ”
Pei Ming glanced up at Tang Jin, his eyes were mixed, but he still nodded firmly.
"Heh, it's really ......" Seeing the other party admit, Tang Jin chuckled inexplicably, then slowly stretched out his hand and clicked Pei Ming in the air, and then nodded at Tang Duo's bedroom from afar, and finally paused slightly, and then clicked on Fang Xiaoer's residence.
"One or two tsundere weirdos...... I don't know what's so arrogant about this kind of thing, I'm embarrassed to speak. Don't you just want the master to get you a throne? To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal. ”
