Zhao Man opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at him blankly.

Tang Ning explained: "Originally, I sent an envoy to Jingshi to ask Your Majesty to marry you, but Your Majesty didn't agree to anything, and instead made the county lord of Anyang a princess, and then things became what they are now." ”

Zhao Man was stunned: "You mean, Sister Anyang is going to marry you?" ”

Downing said: "On the surface...... That's true. ”

"You, you ......" Zhao Man finally came back to his senses and said angrily: "How can this be, I will go to my father and ask him to take back his life, obviously I want to marry ......"

Tang Ning hurriedly pulled her and said, "Won't this make Your Majesty suspicious?" ”

Zhao Man sat in his arms aggrievedly, lowered his head, and whispered: "Obviously, I came first, but they didn't come in order, and now even Sister Anyang has to be ranked in front of me......"

Tang Ning sighed lightly, he was indeed a little ashamed of Zhao Man, this time it was originally an opportunity for her to marry beautifully, but he was stirred up by Emperor Chen like this......

Tang Ning thought about it, looked down at her, and said, "That can't be counted like this, even if she marries early, she has to be behind you and call your sister ......"

Zhao Man raised his head sharply and said in surprise: "Really? ”

Tang Ning couldn't laugh or cry, what she cared about was really just a question of who was big and who was small, if this situation was changed to Tang Yaoyao, Tang Ning would have been dismantled a long time ago.

Tang Ning accompanied Zhao Man for a while, which was inevitably criticized, and he agreed with her at the time of the next meeting, and then prepared to leave the palace.

He walked to the gate of the palace, a carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the palace, and King Huai walked down from the carriage and walked towards the gate of the palace.

After the two saw each other from afar, they quickly separated.

Zhao Man has returned to Beijing, and Tang Ning's last task in Beijing is to take her away safely, but because of Bai Jin's words, Tang Ning set his eyes on King Huai again.

Back at home, Tang Ning temporarily suppressed his suspicion of King Huai, walked into the courtyard, looked at the county lord of Anyang sitting in the courtyard, and asked, "Xiaoman is back, have you seen her in the palace?" ”

"No, no ......, I'll see her later." The county lord of Anyang shook his head, his eyes dodged, and he looked like a thief.

King Huai and King Fu's family didn't go far, Tang Ning looked at the county lord of Anyang and asked, "What kind of person is King Huai?" ”

"Brother Huaiwang?" The county lord of Anyang glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Just curious." Tang Ning smiled and said, "He is talented, steady and old, and there are few young people like him." ”

"Maybe it has something to do with what he experienced as a child." The county lord of Anyang shook his head and said: "Concubine Yang died early, and the queen mother who raised him also died early, and he was bullied in the palace alone, so he developed his current character." ”

After Princess Anyang finished speaking, she threw him a roll of her eyes and said, "It seems that young people have ...... like you, but you and Brother Huaiwang are really similar in some places." ”

Downing asked, "Just as handsome?" ”

The county lord of Anyang glanced at him and said, "You are very calm in everything you do, and you are confident, and you have the ...... to win."

Tang Ning does things by himself, and sometimes he is not perfect, but he agrees with the evaluation of King Huai by the county lord of Anyang.

In other words, if he wants to rebel, he is likely to be fully prepared.

King Huai's father-in-law is the general of the Right Yuwei, who is responsible for half of the defense of the palace, and if he unites with the Li family, then he is already very close to that supreme position.

I'm afraid that even Emperor Chen would not have thought that the Son of Heaven Guard, who was in charge of guarding the palace, would create his own rebellion.

Although he had already guessed the possible actions of King Huai, Tang Ning always felt that something was wrong.

If King Huai really has the heart of rebellion, then his flaws are too obvious, and this kind of flaw obviously will not appear in a thoughtful person like King Huai.

Dealing with different opponents requires different strategies, and if it is King Huai who is standing opposite him, Tang Ning must be careful.

In the next few days, his eyes were always on King Huai, but King Huai never moved, just obeyed Emperor Chen's orders and dealt with the end of the affairs of the rest of the Liang State.

Tang Ning's eyes were all on King Huai, but just outside his sight, something happened that caused a sensation in Jingshi.

The newly appointed squire of the Criminal Department, the new official took office three times, and he wanted to make a good political achievement, and he turned out a lot of old cases from the case room, and wanted to make some achievements and establish his own majesty in the Criminal Department.

This Huang Shilang, who can sit in the position of the waiter of the Criminal Department, also has two brushes, which really allowed him to solve two old cases in a row, enter everyone's field of vision, and become a rising star in the court.

This seemed to stimulate his fighting spirit even more, and he rushed into the case room of the criminal department in a hurry, and just a few days ago, he turned out another suspicious case.

And this case is really a big case.

More than 20 years ago, His Majesty's favorite concubine Concubine Yang and the queen mother passed away due to illness, and since then, the harem has officially become a situation where Concubine Tang Hui, Concubine Fang Shu, and Concubine Zhang Xian are all in full force.

Especially Concubine Tang Hui, she has been with His Majesty for the shortest time, but in a short period of time, she became the uncrowned lord of the harem and controlled the harem for twenty years.

At that time, it was not that no one suspected the cause of death of Concubine Yang and the queen, but after some investigation by the Criminal Department, their deaths were finally characterized as deaths of illness, which caused a lot of turmoil at the time, but for more than 20 years, no one still remembers these things.

Huang Shilang, the new director of the Criminal Department, has methods that are not comparable to ordinary people, he found several directors of the Criminal Department from 20 years ago, and actually collected some clues that were not recorded by the Criminal Department.

After that, he found an old palace maid who was waiting by the queen's side, and dug out some secrets that everyone didn't know from her mouth.

By the time he wrote down several suspicious points of the case into an excerpt and handed it over, he already had a large number of clues in his hands, which was enough to prove that the death of the queen and Concubine Yang had other hidden circumstances.

At the same time that he wrote to the imperial court to allow the Criminal Department to re-investigate the case of that year, the news also leaked out, causing an uproar in Beijing.

There has never been a shortage of big cases in Beijing, and in the past two years, the prince's rebellion has occurred twice, and the people of Beijing have long been surprised, but this kind of big case more than 20 years ago has only been re-turned now, and it still ignites the fire of gossip in the hearts of the people of Beijing.

Although the news that flowed out of the Criminal Department was only a few words, it was not difficult for the people to make up a harem drama more than 20 years ago from these words.

After the death of Concubine Yang and the queen mother, Concubine Tang Hui has been firmly seated as Concubine Hui since then, dominating the harem, and is naturally the biggest beneficiary of this matter, and the Tang family was at its peak at that time, and it seems that it also has the ability to murder Concubine Yang and the queen.

Among them, there are many people who speculate more boldly.

At that time, the Tang family was in full swing, and His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and there was no one around him, so he couldn't suppress the remnants of several princes in the court.

Later, with the help of the Tang family, His Majesty cleared all the opposition voices in the court and completely sat on the throne, and since then, the status of the Tang family and Tang Huifei has become higher and higher, since the death of Yang Concubine and the queen, Tang Huifei has completely controlled the harem.

Before His Majesty became the emperor, the Tang family could choose more than His Majesty, and later it was proved that the Tang family's vision was not wrong, with the help of the Tang family, His Majesty's road to winning the heir was like divine help, and after His Majesty became the emperor, the Tang family also embarked on a new peak, and the Tang family's concubine became Concubine Hui and gave birth to King Duan......

The Tang family will not make a loss-making transaction, among them, could it be that His Majesty and the Tang family have reached a deal, and making Concubine Tang Hui the master of the harem is the condition of this deal......

Because this speculation is really a bit bold, even rebellious, the people dare not discuss it in the open, but in the dark, one whirlpool after another has been rolled.

When the Jingshi rolled up a huge whirlpool with the squire of the criminal department as the center, Tang Ning stood in the courtyard, looking at the gloomy sky, as if he saw the big hands that stirred up the storm behind the black and oppressive dark clouds.
