Chapter 876: Fear?
"Wang Xiang!"
"I've seen the king!"
……
Seeing Wang Xiang appear, the officials of Shangshu Province stood up and saluted.
There was a look of doubt and shock on their faces, there were rumors from the outside world that Wang Xiang was seriously ill at home and didn't have many days to live, but looking at him like this, he couldn't be healthier anymore.
When Shang Shu Zuocheng heard this, his face changed greatly, and he immediately said: "Wang Xiang, this ......"
Wang Xiang glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter, this Shangshu Province, the old man's words have not been counted?" ”
Shang Shu Zuocheng's face changed again, and he immediately said: "The lower officials don't dare to ......"
Not to mention what the king said, it was in line with the law, even if he really ignored the law, he didn't dare to say more than half a word.
No matter how powerful King Duan is, Wang Xiang is the only person in power in Shangshu Province, he has served as prime minister for many years, in terms of prestige and influence in the court, even the right minister Tang Ning can not be compared.
After Shangshu Zuocheng returned to his position, he hurriedly left Shangshu Province under the pretext of excuse.
Wang Xiang returned to 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, and this matter is very important, and he must inform King Duan as soon as possible.
Wang Xiang's return to Shangshu Province was the biggest event that had happened in Shangshu Province during this time.
His appearance not only shattered the rumors from the outside world about his serious health, but also interfered in the affairs of Tang Ning and Duanwang as soon as he arrived in Shang Shuya, and directly stated his position.
The left and right joined forces and stood on the opposite side of King Duan, and such news was enough to shake the government and the opposition.
Just when the officials of Shangshu Province had their own speculations in their hearts, Tang Ning also came to Shangshu Province in advance.
He originally planned to rest at home for a while, but who would have thought that King Duan was so impatient, he had to go back to the government to deal with these things.
As soon as he arrived in Shangshu Province, Tang Ning learned from Han Youcheng's mouth that Wang Xiang, who had been ill for many days, had just returned to Shangshu Province and handed over the case of Jing Zhaoyin's misjudgment from Dali Temple to the Criminal Department.
Dali Siqing is the person of King Duan, but the criminal department is Song Yi's master, there is no need for the criminal department to be favoritic, as long as according to the law of Chen Guo, the father-in-law will be fined for a few months at most.
Tang Ning walked to the Shang study, and Wang Xiang sat in his seat, flipping through a fold.
He glanced up at Tang Ning and said, "In this matter, you can't make a move, so the old man can only stand up." ”
Downing arched his hand at him as a sign of gratitude.
Wang Xiang shook his head and asked, "Do you know why the old man was reluctant to meddle in the affairs of King Run?" ”
Tang Ning said: "Because of Your Majesty." ”
"It's best if you can understand the old man." Wang Xiang nodded and said: "A single Fang family, Your Majesty will not feel anything, if you add you, add me, and add the Zhang family, Your Majesty will definitely be vigilant, and when the time comes, it will be self-defeating......"
He paused in his tone and said: "But now it's different, Your Majesty's insistence on choosing King Duan is a disaster for the court and the world, and the old man has to stand up......"
Tang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "What if Your Majesty insists on making King Duan the crown prince?" ”
Wang Xiang sighed and said, "As a courtier, if Your Majesty is wrong, you must dare to point out Your Majesty's mistakes......"
Wang Xiang, the old fox, is finally willing to stand up, whether he is persuading or coercing, as long as he stands up, the pressure on Tang Ning is much less.
At the same time, in Duanwang's mansion, he had just learned the news of Wang Xiang's return to Shangshu Province from Shangshu Zuocheng, and Duanwang was shocked and said in disbelief: "What are you talking about, isn't that old thing already dying, what is he doing in Shangshu Province?" ”
Shang Shu Zuo Cheng had a bitter look on his face and said: "Your Highness, I am afraid that the rumors outside are false, and the lower officials have seen it with their own eyes, Wang Xiang's face is ruddy, his pace is steady, and he doesn't look sick at all......"
"This old immortal actually dares to harm the king's affairs!" Duanwang's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that he is also colluding with the surname Tang?" ”
One Tang Ning, he can't cope with it, plus a Wang Xiang, these two people join forces, but they represent most of the court, even if he is conceited, he knows that with his current strength, he can't compete with Wang Xiang and Tang Ning.
Shang Shu Zuocheng said: "It doesn't matter if they collude or not, the important thing is that the case of Jing Zhaoyin's dereliction of duty has been handed over to the Criminal Department, and we can't get involved anymore." ”
"Criminal Department, Criminal Department......" King Duan's face was cold, and he said gloomily: "Song Yi has always refused to submit to this king, and when this king becomes the emperor, he has also achieved the ...... of this Shangshu"
Shang Shu Zuocheng looked at King Duan and asked, "Your Highness, then what should we do now?" ”
"What else can I do?" King Duan waved his hand and said: "That old thing is not easy to mess with, and this king doesn't want to fight him at this time, but he won't be proud for long, wait for two months, and this king will settle accounts with him again!" ”
Duan Wang obviously didn't want to have a hard time with Wang Xiang, judging from the current situation, it was irrational to offend Wang Xiang, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng came out of Duan Wang's Mansion, and he also gave up some kind of thought, and returned to Shangshu Province.
Stepping into the yafang and seeing a young figure in the hall, his heart chuckled, but he quickly calmed down, squeezed out a smile, greeted "Tang Xiang", and sat back in his place.
The left and right phases are not there, he said one or the other in Shangshu Province, and now that the left and right phases are back, King Duan does not dare to act rashly, he naturally wants to retract his head and be a man.
It's just that he is inevitably still a little apprehensive in his heart, the right minister Tang Ning gave him the nickname "Jin Jin Ji", this time he gave his father-in-law, Jingzhao Yin Zhong Mingli such a big trap, if he retaliates, he is just a Shangshu Zuocheng, and he may not be able to withstand it.
But think about it carefully, King Duan will be the crown prince in a few days, although Tang Ning is the right minister, he doesn't dare to touch the prince's person......
Shangshu Zuocheng was worried in his heart, and other officials in Shangshu Province were also curious, the right minister almost suffered a loss under Shangshu Zuocheng this time, according to his character, he would definitely retaliate back, but Li Qi's background is too strong, in a few days, Duanwang will be the prince, when the time comes, His Majesty is seriously ill, the prince is in charge, how can Duanwang, who has already lived in the East Palace, spare him?
When everyone was curious about whether the right minister would retaliate, they raised their eyes and saw that Tang Ning had already walked towards Shangshu Zuocheng.
Shang Shu Zuocheng saw Tang Ning walking towards him, he chuckled in his heart, squeezed out a smile on his face, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Tang Xiang looking for an official?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Tang Ning smiled and said, "Li Zuocheng is a new face in Shangshu Province, so he naturally needs to know ...... of his true appearance."
Tang Ning looked at Li Qi and asked, "Li Zuocheng, are you very hot?" ”
Li Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Xiaguan is not heat-tolerant and sweats easily......"
"The summer in Jingshi is indeed very hot." Tang Ning looked at him and said, "If Lord Li has the opportunity, you can go to the grassland, where the summer is very cool and the climate is extremely pleasant......"
After Tang Ning said this, he left with a smile.
While Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was puzzled, the right minister Tang Ning came over deliberately, it wouldn't be a question of whether he was hot or not, right?
He shook his head, and although he didn't know why Downing said those words, it was obvious that he was afraid.
Even if he set a trap for Jing Zhaoyin, Tang Ning didn't dare to do anything to him who was standing behind him.
After completely relieving his heart, Shangshu Zuocheng Li Qi slept peacefully, and when he came to Shangshu Province the next day, he unexpectedly found a few unfamiliar 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, that's the envoy of the steppe, and the king has summoned them to discuss something......
Li Qi was surprised: "What is there to discuss with Wang Xiang and those barbarians?" ”
The official said: "It seems that the imperial court is going to send a few envoys to the grassland, and in order to show our importance to the grassland, Shangshu Province will also send some people over......
