Zhao Man was too excited just now to notice that there was still an outer courtyard here.

After Xiao Jue appeared, Zhao Man ran away with a red face, Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning with the child in his arms, his eyes were quite weird.

Even if he had already guessed that Tang Ning and the princess should have a little unclear relationship, seeing them hugging each other with his own eyes was not the same as the impact he received based on his own guess.

Tang Ning didn't explain, looked at the little guy in Xiao Jue's arms, and said, "Congratulations." ”

Qing'er just told him that Lu Ya gave birth a few months ago, the mother and son were safe, and the Xiao family, who was thin, had a banquet in the house for half a month, and Emperor Chen, who was still on the sickbed, also issued a holy decree and rewarded a lot of rewards, and stated in the holy decree that when he grew up, he could inherit Xiao Jue's title.

There are too many nobles, it will increase the burden of the imperial court, and the title of Chen Guo is rarely hereditary, and the significance of this holy decree is very significant, not surprisingly, it can keep the Xiao family rich for decades.

Speaking of his son, Xiao Jue's face was full of pride, but he had suffered too much in the past, but this time he restrained a lot in front of Tang Ning, and changed the topic: "You have already been to the palace, have you seen Your Majesty?" ”

Tangning shook his head.

"In the past few months since you left Beijing, a lot of things have happened in Beijing." Xiao Jue sighed and said, "The court and the palace are now completely in the hands of King Duan and Concubine Tang Hui. ”

"Are they in control of the six Shangshu, or are they the two prime ministers?" Tang Ning shook his head and asked, "The left and right Yu Lin Guards are still in the hands of the Ling family and the Li family, they are all His Majesty's personal guards, why does Concubine Tang Hui control the palace?" ”

"Not really." Xiao Jue heard this: "Duan Wang can't move the six Shangshu at present, but the six Shangshu can't help him, but there is one sentence you just said wrong, Zuo Yuwei is not controlled by the Ling family, Ling Yun is no longer the general of Zuo Yuwei, and he was transferred to the Ximen Guard ...... within two days of you leaving Beijing."

Ling Yun has been the general of Zuo Yuwei for a long time, he is a close confidant of Emperor Chen, it is impossible to change it at will, Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "This is also what King Duan did?" ”

"Not this time." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "When you just left Beijing, Shangshu Province was originally controlled by King Huai, and he felt that the Ling family had occupied Jin Yuwei and Yulinwei, and there was something wrong, so he transferred Ling Yunping over. ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Who is the new General Zuo Yuwei?" ”

Xiao Jue thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called Chen Xingyun." ”

This name Tang Ning heard for the first time, the first time he heard the name, he was able to sit in the position of General Zuo Yuwei, Tang Ning continued to ask: "What is the background of this person?" ”

Xiao Jue said: "He has no background, he was originally a general of the border army, and he only returned to Beijing after the imperial court withdrew its troops in the northwest." ”

The Ling family has the control of Jin Yuwei and Yulin Wei, which is equivalent to half of the Jing Shi in their hands, which is indeed a little inappropriate.

But over the years, even Emperor Chen didn't say anything, and King Huai's move surprised Tang Ning a little.

He understands King Huai, he is a character who has nothing to do with himself, and at the risk of offending the Ling family, he transferred Ling Yun out and arranged for a person with no identity background and no dependent forces to come in, which is not his style of acting.

But putting these aside, his decision is reasonable, not to mention that since the new General Zuo Yuwei has no background and faction, others can't find anything wrong with King Huai.

As soon as he thought of King Huai, Tang Ning felt that with a person like him, he could actually be driven out of Shangshu Province by King Duan within half a month, which made him have to doubt his judgment of Emperor Chen.

Judging from the various performances of Emperor Chen's reign, he is undoubtedly a wise emperor, with great courage that previous emperors did not have.

But judging from the choice of the prince, his wisdom, his wisdom, but disappeared without a trace, even if a pig sat in his place, he could make a better choice than him.

Xiao Jue held the child with one hand, patted Tang Ning's shoulder with the other, and said, "I know you have your thoughts, what I want to say is that no matter what happens, my father and I will be on your side." ”

The weight of this sentence was very heavy, especially when he said it from the mouth of the general of the Ximen Guard, Tang Ning had a smile on his face, and also patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I know." ”

He had just returned to Beijing today, and he found that the situation in Beijing had changed so much that he needed to meet some people before making certain decisions.

Xiao Jue keenly noticed that among the women of the Tang family, there was an extra figure that he didn't recognize, he pointed to Ah Duo and asked, "Is this ......, the fifth or the sixth in your family?" ”

Xiao Jue didn't wait for Tang Ning's answer, the child in his arms began to cry, he hurriedly took it out to find Lu Ya, Ah Duo came over, glanced at Tang Ning with a strange look, and said with a red face: "Brother Tang, it turns out that you have so many ladies......"

The Gu clan is monogamous, so the situation in the Tang family, in her opinion, is a little unexpected.

The eyes of the Fourth Elder and the Eighth Elder looking at Tang Ning were also full of surprise.

It's just that this kind of accident is a shocking accident.

Until this moment, they didn't know Tang Ning's identity, before that, they only felt that marrying the saint to him was a great commitment, and he didn't seem to have anything special except for his good looks.

However, what they didn't expect was that he was actually Chen Guo's right minister, under Chen Guo alone, above 10,000 people.

Although the Gu clan had always been proud of themselves, they were not arrogant enough to think that they could compare to Chen Guo.

The four elders watched him walk out of the mansion and muttered, "I didn't expect him to have such an identity......

The Eighth Elder stroked his beard and said, "However, it seems that he is in some trouble......

……

Tang Ning went out of the mansion, first sent Zhao Man back to the palace, and then went to visit Wang Xiang.

He originally wanted Zhao Man to bring a word to Emperor Chen, but he didn't expect that now even she wouldn't be able to see Emperor Chen.

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Can you see Grandpa Wei?" ”

Zhao Man said: "Gonggong Wei has always served by his father's side, and after his father fell ill, Concubine Hui did not let the eunuchs and maids in the palace leave the palace. ”

Tang Ning said: "I want you to help me bring a message to Grandpa Wei." ”

Zhao Man thought for a while and said, "I'll try ......."

Compared with Emperor Chen, Wei Jian should have a better contact, he is the closest person to Emperor Chen, and there is no difference between seeing him and seeing Emperor Chen.

No matter what, Tang Ning needed to know Emperor Chen's thoughts, if he couldn't even Wei Jian, he could only try to make a detour through the Queen Mother.

After Zhao Man returned to the palace, Tang Ning walked towards the palace of the prime minister.

Since he left Beijing and Duan Wang took power, the prime minister also took sick leave, which was half a year, and the dignified prime minister never showed up in front of the ministers again.

The common people and officials all speculated about this, and Wang Xiang was afraid that he was also seriously ill like His Majesty, and he thought that the day of the coming time was approaching, when the two largest pillars of the court fell one after another, and he did not know what the chaos of the court would become.

Tang Ning asked people to bring a cart of precious medicinal supplements to the door of the king's house, explaining the intention, the porter saw that it was him, and immediately looked shocked, and said respectfully: "The master is at home, Tang Xiang, please come in with the little one......"

Tang Ning walked into Wang's house, passed through several doors, and saw a figure standing in the courtyard in front of him from a distance.

The man's back was facing him, and his body flickered left and right, back and forth, obviously practicing.

An unknown set of fist techniques was displayed in his hands, and it was extremely fierce, and Tang Ning felt a sharp feeling from afar.

The old man who performed the boxing technique was obviously not seriously ill, in fact, his body was very healthy, not to mention the old man of the same age, Tang Ning preliminarily estimated that the two Xiao Jue were not his opponents.

It was rumored that Wang Xiang was seriously ill and would soon leave for the west, but what they didn't know was that few of the Chinese and military ministers of the DPRK combined could make a few moves in Wang Xiang's hands.

Tang Ning turned his head, looked at the subordinate who brought him over and moved the precious medicinal materials and supplements to the Wang family, waved his hand, and said, "Let's move it back to the car......
