The whole court, including Emperor Chen, was busy with the festival, and Tang Ning was finally forgotten by him for the time being.

He could have lived a comfortable two-person world with Tang Yaoyao, but there were always people around him who didn't have long eyes, Xiao Jue was forced by Lu Ya to study with Tang Ning all day long, and it was just a matter of learning how to coax girls, and he also had to learn to cook, which took up a lot of his time.

In the kitchen, Xiao Jue wiped his white face and sighed: "Woman, your name is ...... Mystery"

He looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Do you really have nothing to teach me about making women happy?" ”

"People are different." Tang Ning said: "What suits me, not necessarily for you, suitable for the young, not necessarily suitable for Lu Ya, the same method, used on different people, sometimes it will be counterproductive, about this, you can ask more powerful people for advice." ”

Xiao Jue said: "In this Jingshi, is there anyone more powerful than you?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said: "There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, the strong have their own strong players, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, maybe you can learn from Runwang......"

"Him?" Xiao Jue pursed his lips and said, "What does the little kid who hasn't even grown his hair know ......?"

Half an hour later, Xiao Jue looked at the dishes that he had burned into black charcoal, pinched his nose and poured them out, sighed helplessly, and prepared to go home.

He walked out of the kitchen and saw Zhao Yuan and the little girl of the Wang family standing in the courtyard.

The little girl of the Wang family held a flower in her hand and said, "This flower is so beautiful......

"It's not pretty at all." Zhao Yuan took the flower from her hand, put it in her sideburns, and said, "It's beautiful to wear it on your head......

"Hate ......"

The little girl of the Wang family kissed Zhao Yuan on the face with a red face, and ran away shyly, Zhao Yuan was about to chase after him, but was pulled by Xiao Jue.

Zhao Yuan looked at him and said, "His Royal Highness King Run, let's talk." ”

Zhao Yuan was anxious to chase the little girl of the Wang family, and said, "I still have something to do, I'll talk about it next time......"

Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "You help me this time, and next time you have something, I'll help you." ”

Zhao Yuan was stunned and asked, "Really?" ”

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Really." ”

Zhao Yuan stretched out his palm and said, "High-five as an oath!" ”

Syllable!

Xiao Jue raised his palm and slammed it against his hand.

……

Tang Ning found a master for Xiao Jue, whether it was courtship or cooking, Zhao Yuan was qualified to be Xiao Jue's master.

The master is the teacher, and in this regard, he can sometimes be Tang Ning's master.

This saved him a lot of trouble, and he also had an apprentice grandson for no reason.

This makes him and Tang Xiaoyao not be disturbed by Xiao Jue when they are together, after all, when the two couples are tired, no one wants to have a light bulb by their side, or the kind that shines super brightly.

In recent days, Emperor Chen has not noticed that he has returned, and Tang Ning can't go to Shangshu Province without going once.

Many of the recent excerpts in Shangshu Province are about festivals, and when he reviewed the recital today, he found a very interesting excerpt.

Regarding the festival guards, a young official made a suggestion.

It seems more reasonable to assign the duty of guarding the festival to a specific guard, and it is better to draw a few hundred people from each of the sixteen guards.

If the general of that guard is opposed, the festival may become a festival for many people.

However, if the guard consists of sixteen guards, this risk is greatly reduced.

There are only about 300 guards of 5,000 people, and even if one or several guards want to rebel, they can't set off too much storm.

Unless more than half of the sixteen guards rebelled, even if something happened, things were under control.

And if half of the sixteen guards really rebelled, they didn't have to wait for the festival to do it at all, they could join forces to subvert the imperial power.

It was a young official from the Yushitai who made this suggestion, and Tang Ning felt that it made sense, so he kept this fold.

Today's Shangshu Province mainly relies on him and King Huai to review the excerpts, the two of them can deal with it, and they generally deal with it on the spot, and if they can't deal with it or the authority is not enough, they will let the other party see it first, and if the two of them have no idea, they will hand it to the imperial study.

Before releasing the ya, Tang Ning read the few folds that King Huai had just sent, handed them back to King Huai, and said, "I can't make up my mind about these things, so I can send them to ask Your Majesty to decide." ”

King Huai handed over the few folds that Tang Ning had just handed over and said, "Send these to my father as well." ”

Tang Ning had just sent five folds to King Huai, and only four of them he handed back.

He flipped through it and found that he had left the letter about the composition of the festival guards.

The excerpt left by the two of them either has a solution, or they feel that the things described in the excerpt are meaningless and cannot be implemented, and this excerpt is a proposal rather than a question, obviously, King Huai feels that this method is not feasible.

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "His Royal Highness King Huai thinks it's not feasible to draw guards from the sixteen guards?" ”

"Lord Tang is talking about that letter." King Huai smiled slightly and said, "Although Lord Tang is the general of Zuo Xiaowei, he may not know much about the rules of the Sixteen Guards. ”

Although Tang Ning was the general of Zuo Xiaowei, he rarely cared about Zuo Xiaowei's affairs, he looked at King Huai and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

King Huai looked at him and asked rhetorically: "The proposal to transfer manpower from the sixteen guards has not been without it before, but it has been vetoed by my father, and Lord Tang knows why?" ”

Tang Ning was really puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

King Huai said: "Lord Tang also knows that the sixteen guards are guards, and their duty is to protect the Beijing division and the imperial city. ”

King Huai glanced at him and continued: "In the past few years that Lord Tang has been in Beijing, have you ever seen the Sixteen Guards join forces to do things? ”

What King Huai said is the truth, although the Sixteen Guards seem to be idle on weekdays, but they have a great responsibility, they are under the emperor's nose, if the Sixteen Guards rebel, the Jingshi will fall immediately, so the choice of these people must choose those who are most loyal to the royal family.

After being reminded by King Huai, Tang Ning finally understood why it was not feasible to transfer manpower from the Sixteen Guards.

The reason why the Sixteen Guards are the Sixteen Guards is not a separate Praetorian Guard, but for the purpose of separating power.

It was the emperor who was worried that the guards would be controlled by some ill-intentioned people and threaten the safety of the royal family, so he divided the guards into sixteen parts, which were separate and did not govern each other, and only obeyed the orders of Emperor Chen.

It is forbidden to be too close to each other among the sixteen guards, and the generals of the sixteen guards do not have much contact on weekdays, in order to avoid suspicion.

If the guards often interact with each other and become familiar with each other, then the purpose of decentralization cannot be achieved, and Emperor Chen will never allow such a thing to happen.

This is the emperor's taboo, and it is also the reason why the fold cannot be passed.

Tang Ning looked at King Huai, arched his hand, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding you." ”

King Huai returned the salute: "Lord Tang is polite." ”

Tang Ning said: "Let's go here today, the official will go back first." ”

King Huai nodded and said, "Lord Tang walks slowly." ”

After Tang Ning left, King Huai picked up the fold again, looked at it for a long time, and threw it in the box of discarded folds.

……

Shaw House.

Xiao Jue walked into the room with a red face, handed a flower in his hand to Lu Ya, and asked with a smile, "Is this flower beautiful?" ”

"It's not pretty." Lu Ya glanced at it, frowned, and asked, "Where did you pick this flower, it's so ugly......"

The development of things did not meet his expectations, and the smile on Xiao Jue's face froze.

According to what King Run taught, when Lu Ya said that this flower was beautiful, he took the opportunity to put this flower on her head, and then told her with a smile that although this flower is beautiful, it is not as beautiful as you......

But Zhao Yuan has never taught, if she says "not good-looking", how should he pick it up......
