Chapter 904: Xiao Jue's Trust
Nearly half a month after the case of Duanwang Huifei's murder of the monarch subsided, Tang Ning only did one thing.
One by one, he went to visit the officials and magnates who were familiar with him in Beijing, and this time he left Beijing, he didn't know when he would come back, and now Chen Guoguo is gradually becoming stable at home and abroad, and there is no threat except for the Western Regions.
Emperor Chen's request to him was to wait until King Run ascended the throne, and he continued to come back to be his prime minister, of course, Tang Ning was full of promises, if he didn't stabilize him first, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get out of the Jingshi.
The three-year appointment with Li Tianlan has reached the deadline, and Tang Ning plans to send them to Qiandi before leaving for Chu State, so that although there will be a lot of detours, he will at least have no worries.
Anyway, he didn't want them to stay in Jingshi, the situation in this place changed three times a day, maybe when someone wanted to usurp the throne, or be safe in Qiandi.
He was going to visit General Xiao today, and in the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
Tang Ning said: "There is still a while. ”
Xiao Jue continued to ask, "Are you coming back?" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe I will." ”
Xiao Jue nodded and said, "It's okay to leave, it's not interesting for Jingshi to stay for a long time." ”
Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue in surprise, with his understanding of this guy, he heard that he was leaving Beijing, and the possibility of coming back in the future was very small, even if he didn't keep it vigorously, he should at least express his reluctance.
Xiao Jue didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and changed the topic: "Since you are leaving, can you help me do a few things before leaving?" ”
When his friend was leaving, the first thing he thought of was to ask him to do something, which didn't seem like a human being at all.
Xiao Jue, who got married and had children, is no longer the little grandfather Xiao who valued love and righteousness.
Tang Ning was a little angry, and said angrily: "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "Zuo Yinqi Wei Zhonglang General, do you remember?" ”
"It's a bit impressive." Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "That one was involved by King Duan?" ”
Sixteen Wei Zhonglang Generals, he doesn't know most of them, but he still has some impressions of Zuo Yinqi Wei Zhonglang Generals.
The case of King Duan and Concubine Tang Hui killing the monarch affected not only King Duan and the Tang family, but also all officials and magnates in the court who were related to King Duan were affected to varying degrees.
As for the generals of the Sixteen Guards, they are naturally the top priority of the investigation, but those who are related to the Tang family have been swept to the end.
Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Because of the matter of King Duan, he will be demoted from Zhonglang to Du Lieutenant, and the position of Zhonglang General will not be vacant, Lu Teng can be qualified for this position regardless of ability or qualifications......"
Tang Ning finally understood what Xiao Jue meant, looked at him, and asked, "Do you want Lu Teng to be the general of Yinqi Weizhonglang?" ”
Xiao Jue looked at him, sighed, and said, "You know, I'm such a brother-in-law, I can't watch him keep messing around in the army like this......"
Tang Ning was surprised: "You are the general of Ximenwei, isn't it very simple to transfer him to Ximenwei?" ”
"I'm already a general, if Lu Teng is transferred to the middle general, what will the hundred officials think, what will Your Majesty think?" Xiao Jue glanced at him and said, "Is this Your Majesty's Ximen Guard, or my family's Ximen Guard?" ”
What Xiao Jue said also makes sense, the imperial court has always been very shy about the dominance of the forbidden army, and it will be deliberately divided, and the reason why King Huai transferred Ling Yun out of Yulinwei is out of this consideration.
Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Since Lu Teng's qualifications are enough, this matter can go to the military department, why do you bother to do this?" ”
"Bingbu?" Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "It's okay to go to the military department, but doesn't it give others a chance to chew their tongues, even if I agree, my father-in-law won't agree." ”
Tang Ning realized that if Lu Ding, the secretary of the Ministry of War, promoted his son Lu Teng to be the general of Yinqi Weizhonglang, in the eyes of others, it would indeed not be the case.
How can it be said that Lu Teng has also been with him for a while, Tang Ning nodded and said, "I'll go to Shangshu Province tomorrow." ”
Xiao Jue immediately said: "Then you can help me do a few other things by the way, in addition to Lu Teng, Liu Jun, Mu Yu, Huang Yulong, you also help promote ......"
Helping one is also helping, helping three or four is also helping, Tang Ning didn't care, and asked, "Do you also arrange them in Zuo Yinqiwei?" ”
"That's not good." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "The East Gate Guard, the North Gate Guard, and the South Gate Guard, you scatter the arrangements, so that they don't form gangs in the army and are disliked by ......the imperial court."
After getting married, Xiao Jue's brain was obviously much better than before, and he would take the initiative to take these into account, Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "I know, I'll look at the arrangement." ”
He stood up and said, "It's not too early, I still have to go to Wuliehou to sit down, you tell Old Master Xiao that I'm going back......"
Xiao Jue stood up and said, "Let's come together, I haven't seen Brother Han for a long time." ”
Marquis Wu Lie is now General Jin Yuwei, responsible for the security of the two gates of the Beijing Division, and Tang Ning sat in Han's house for another half an hour before leaving alone.
Xiao Jue and Marquis Wu Lie have known each other for many years, and the friendship between the two is deeper, and there are still some old things to tell.
Downing didn't stay with him, and he still had a lot to do before leaving.
The store has been entrusted to the county lord of Anyang, and the most reassuring thing is probably the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Jing Zhaoyin is the parent official of Jingshi, so naturally he can't go to the mountains and rivers like them, and Tang Ning's family goes out of Beijing, which can also be interpreted as playing, but if even his father-in-law and mother-in-law go out together, I am afraid that even Emperor Chen will be suspicious and worry about whether he is going to run away.
In the mansion, Zhong Mingli looked at him and said with a smile: "You can leave with confidence, when you arrange everything, it will not be too late for me and your mother-in-law to go over." ”
Chen Yuxian glanced at him and said, "A month ago, I said that Jing Zhaoyin was tired of being tired and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, your man's mouth is a deceitful ghost......"
Zhong Mingli showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said, "Isn't this to dispel His Majesty's suspicions......
Tang Ning saw reluctance in his father-in-law's eyes, and he was not much surprised by this.
For more than ten years, just to be able to be named on the gold list one day, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and now he has achieved the position of Jing Zhaoyin, how can he say that he can give up willingly?
Fortunately, the situation in Beijing is no longer what it used to be, and most of the court has been controlled by the Fang family, like the last time he was framed, it should not happen again in the future.
He returned to his study, and Qing'er handed him a letter.
The letter had just been received in the morning, but it was dated a month earlier.
Since Tang Ning went to Qiandi, his family would receive a letter from the Western Regions every month, the content of the letter was nothing more than what the two of them had seen and heard in the Western Regions, and the purpose of writing this letter was just to report safety.
When they first went to the Western Regions, the elite of the beggar gang in Gyeonggi was all out, with a 2,000-strong escort team, and the equipment was also very well-equipped, enough to wipe out most of the small and medium-sized countries in the Western Regions.
You must know that although the Western Regions are known as the Thirty-six Kingdoms, most of them, including kings and ministers, are only hundreds or thousands of people.
They said in the letter that in another month, they would be ready to leave for Beijing, and Tang Ning originally planned to leave for Qiandi in the near future, but from the time of this letter, they were already on the way back at the moment, and he only had to wait in Beijing for more than a month, and he could leave with them.
This was originally a good thing, but Tang Ning had a headache, except for Tang Jing and his wife and Tang Zhao, who didn't know where to go, there was no one in the Tang family who had no one to live with, how should he tell them about this matter?
Tang Ning rubbed his eyebrows, and when he had a headache because of this, in the depths of the distant Western Regions, the wind and sand dispersed, and several beggar elders looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that appeared not far ahead, as well as the banner at the front, and their faces changed greatly at the same time.
"It's not good, it's Xiaowan's army!"
Even though they knew that Xiao Wan's army was different from the rogue in the Western Regions, they would not target a caravan like them, but everyone looked at the slaughtering scene in front of them, and their faces gradually turned pale......
