King Kang's Mansion.

King Kang leaned back in his chair, his face was ashen, and a group of strategists in the palace stood in the hall, their heads bowed, their eyes dodging, and they did not dare to look at him.

I don't know how long it took, King Kang stood up with his chair, looked down, and said sharply: "All talking, has this king raised a group of dead people all these years!" ”

After a commotion in the crowd, someone finally spoke nervously.

"Once the Ministry of Works' squire returns to Beijing, the matter of deducting the ordnance and silver of the Ministry of War will inevitably be found out to His Royal Highness......"

"Those powerful people in Jingshi can't afford to be charged with meddling in the salt administration, in order to protect themselves, they will definitely push His Highness out to save their lives......"

"From now on, Your Highness has to prepare for the worst......"

……

King Kang trembled angrily, pointed at them, and said in a trembling voice: "What's the use of you saying this, this king wants you to find a way, what should this king do now!" ”

A person said in a trembling voice: "Jing, the eyes of everyone in the capital are staring at His Highness, His Highness can't do anything but wait for the imperial court, waiting for His Majesty to dispose of ......"

"A bunch of rubbish!" King Kang pointed at them and said loudly: "Get out, get out of this king!" ”

As if they had been pardoned, they rushed out of the temple.

When there was no one in the hall, King Kang's legs were weak, he collapsed to the ground, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and he muttered: "No, no......"

At the same time, the Tang family.

The door of the Tang family was closed, and in the past two days, the officials who came to visit were all turned away.

This made countless people wonder, King Kang suffered a great disaster, and the happiest should be King Duan and the Tang family, but the Tang family's performance was too calm, which was very different from before.

Thinking about it carefully, the Tang family seems to have been silent in the court for a long time, whether it was the Qingjun side incident headed by Feng Xiang, or the seizure of the Su family property in Jiangnan, the Tang family did not move, and it was a little weird to be quiet.

At this time, in the Tang Mansion, in Tang Huai's study, he made a cup of tea, took a sip, and walked to the window, looked at the sky outside the window, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Tang Qi walked in from outside the door and said: "The news of Dali Temple, the powerful people related to the salt merchants in various places have been recruited, if they don't recruit King Kang, they have only a dead end, and if they confess him, at least they can save the lives of the family......"

He looked at Tang Huai and said with some relief: "King Kang is finished." ”

has been fighting with King Kang for so long, and he has secretly fought countless battles with the bright side, but it was all a small fight, and Tang Qi has never been more determined than this time, King Kang is finished.

deducted the treasury and allocated silver, lacked two catties in armaments, colluded with salt merchants and officials of the Ministry of Industry, and intervened in the politics of salt and iron, even if he was a prince, there was absolutely no reason to be forgiven.

The oil and water of the Ministry of Industry are so sufficient, and the salt and iron contain huge profits, why didn't the Tang family get involved, it was not that they couldn't, but they didn't dare to ......

In the court of tomorrow, once this matter is implemented, King Kang will be driven to the fiefdom by the knight, and he will be demoted to the common people and expelled from Beijing......

No matter what the result, King Kang is no longer Duanwang's opponent, and he will forever lose the opportunity to win the heir.

And without King Kang, there will be no suspense in the East Palace.

Tang Huai walked back from the window and said, "Unexpectedly, it was his ...... who solved the biggest threat for us."

Tang Qi looked at him and asked, "Tomorrow's court is above ......?"

"No need to speak." Tang Huai waved his hand and said, "Just look at it." ”

Tang Qi nodded and said, "I'll go and remind King Duan." ”

……

Today's morning dynasty has not yet begun, and the officials waiting in front of the hall have already felt extremely depressed, and their eyes look at a figure standing in front of them from time to time.

King Kang looked haggard, his face pale and bloodless.

In these two days, there was no news from the palace, he spent the most difficult two days of his life, the upcoming early dynasty, related to his future fate, he was extremely nervous at the moment, and he had no leisure time to pay attention to the strange eyes of the people around him.

King Duan came from behind, stood beside King Kang, looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Huang said last time that he wanted to donate five thousand taels of silver, I don't know if it counts?" ”

King Kang looked at him, his fists clenched, and his expression was extremely grim.

déjà vu, but at that time, he ridiculed King Duan for not being able to take out the silver, and today it is King Duan's turn to be sarcastic.

King Duan looked at him with pride, smugness and ridicule appeared in his eyes, and a eunuch came out of the hall and said in a loud voice: "Go to court!" ”

The hundred officials walked into the main hall in order, and after a short time, Emperor Chen slowly walked up to the dragon chair from the apse.

Today's hall was silent, and King Kang, who was at the forefront of Emperor Chen's eyes, said in a deep voice: "Zhao Cheng! ”

King Kang's body trembled, stepped forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Son, son, son is here." ”

Emperor Chen's eyes showed a deep look of disappointment, and he said sharply: "Kneel!" ”

King Kang's legs weakened and he knelt down on the temple.

……

Tang Ning did not go to court today, but he heard about the situation in the court today's court from the mouths of others.

There is only one thing to discuss in the court today, and that is the case of the Ministry of Industry.

This case involves a wide range of people, only Beijing officials, there are dozens of people involved, and there are more than 10 magnates involved, and the fate of these people is not very good, but all the officials involved, none of them can keep the official hat on their heads, and the magnates who dare to stretch their hands to the salt government have also ended up in exile.

Of course, among them, everyone is most concerned about King Kang.

These officials and magnates are all related to King Kang, in the past period of time, King Kang's power has suffered a heavy setback, after the rest of these people were punished, King Kang's side, there is almost no one available, compared to the original King Duan, in the court, there is no capital to compete with King Duan.

Of course, he doesn't have to fight with King Duan anymore.

In September of the second year of Dingyuan, Zhao Cheng, King of Kang, because he was involved in the case of the Ministry of Industry, was greedy for money from the treasury of Mexico, and interfered in the politics of salt and iron, and was removed from the title of prince by His Majesty, and was demoted to the heir of the king.

There are three types of princes in the state of Chen, princes, heirs, and county kings.

Among them, the status of the prince is the most respected, and the status of the heir king is higher than that of the prince and lower than that of the prince, and of these three types of kings, only the prince has the qualification to compete for the prince.

In other words, King Kang was implicated in the case of the Ministry of Industry and was directly kicked out of the ranks of the prince, and it was no longer possible to compete for the position of prince.

Shuozhou is in the remote north, and once King Kang goes, he will not have a few opportunities to return to Beijing in his life.

As soon as King Kang left, the position of the East Palace, ninety percent of the ten out of ten will fall on the head of King Duan.

Although after King Kang left, the Guozijian and other departments he was in charge of were handed over to King Huai's agent, but the resources in King Huai's hands were not worth mentioning at all compared to King Duan.

Although there were many twists and turns in the process, the Tang family and Duanwang finally had the last laugh.

Some people can't help but sigh when they think of the process of King Kang's downfall.

King Kang was defeated because of Tang Ning, and without Tang Ning, the representative of the Ministry of Works, exposing King Kang's case, it was impossible for King Duan to ascend to the throne so early.

However, the relationship between Tang Ning and the Tang family, and King Duan, everyone also knows it.

This time, it was he who created his opponent, and it was he who personally pushed Duanwang to the supreme position and pushed the Tang family to the next glory.

However, when King Duan sat firmly in that position and held the power, how could the Tang family let him go?

Presumably, the broom star stingy ghost Lord Tang is also full of mixed feelings at this time, and it is extremely uncomfortable......

Tang Ning was really uncomfortable in his heart, speaking of which, he didn't have any deep hatred with King Kang, he just did what was within his duties, who made King Kang bold and dared to even move the bottom line of the court like salt and iron?

Now that Prince Kang has become King Kang, he is about to leave Jingshi, and he can no longer contain King Duan, which means that he has indirectly helped the Tang family and helped King Duan, except for the reputation of the broom star is more resounding, he has not gained any benefits.

No matter how you look at it, this time it was he who lost.

Thinking of King Kang, Tang Ning couldn't help sighing, shook his head and said, "It's not a weapon......

King Kang's Mansion.

King Kang sat alone in the hall, with no one around him.

Before today's early dynasty, the advisors of the palace walked away, and although the subordinates did not dare to flee, they all avoided far away.

He turned his head to look at the empty hall, a grim smile on his face.

Years of planning, years of dreams, in this day vanished, in the blink of an eye.

The funny thing is that the source of all this is just because he hit someone else's pleasure boat......

"The heir king, the heir king, hahahaha......" King Kang looked crazy, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, laughing sideways.

"Has Your Highness just given up?" A calm voice suddenly came from inside the temple.

King Kang stopped laughing, looked back at the middle-aged man behind him, and asked with a miserable smile, "You still don't leave?" ”

Mr. Xu looked at him and asked, "Why are you leaving?" ”

King Kang glared at him angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "I have been abolished by my father, can a wasted person be an emperor, do you want to see this king's jokes if you stay here......"

Mr. Xu looked at him calmly and said, "If I say you can, you will definitely be able to." ”

King Kang got up from the ground, grabbed him by the collar, and said frantically, "What way?" ”

Mr. Xu threw a piece of white silk on the ground and said, "This is the way." ”
