Whether King Kang was disheartened or wanted to give it a go, Tang Ning didn't know.

Since he was demoted to the throne last year, it was like a different person, his emotions could be seen from his face before, but now he can collapse without changing his face, no matter what happens, he will not reveal other emotions, this matter, Tang Ning has verified it many times in the court.

However, as long as he doesn't block Tang Ning, Tang Ning has no time to take care of his affairs, although he is idle at home these days, he is not idle.

King Duan's impeachment of his excerpts were all sunk in the sea, and King Kang was almost reinstated, all of which show that the fall of favor from the Marquis of Dingguo is just a rumor, and His Majesty will even beat King Duan with King Kang in order to refute the rumors.

In the past two days, there have been continuous carriages and horses in front of the Tang Mansion, and there has been an endless stream of guests.

A few days ago, because of those rumors, officials in Beijing did not dare to act rashly, but now the rumors have been clarified, and in addition to Gyeonggi and Jiangnan, officials from all provinces in Beijing have come to their homes to pay their respects.

Although Tang Ning's proposal to reduce the number of people raised in Jiangnan and Gyeonggi and divide them equally among the rest of the provinces was just to give Emperor Chen an explanation, the state capitals of Kannai Province, Henan Province, and Hedong Province really accepted his favor, and it was impossible to pretend that they didn't know anything.

Chen Guo is a state of etiquette, and everything he does pays attention to the word etiquette.

It is very rude for a guest to come to the door and not bring some gifts to the host's house.

The imperial historian from Kannai Province has just put down the gift, and the Hanlin of Huainan Province has come to the door with gifts, of course, they are all nominally on the grounds of visiting the sick, and now the imperial court strictly prohibits officials from giving gifts, but it also allows the common feelings of visiting the sick and condolences to these people.

What's more, the gifts they bring are not very heavy, and the heavy ones are this favor.

"The old man has thanked Master Tang for thousands of students in Guannai!"

"Lord Tang takes good care of his injuries, if there is still a little dare in the court who dares to jump out, make something out of nothing, fabricate right and wrong to impeach the adult, and the lower officials will definitely refer to him in front of His Majesty!"

"The lower official has taken his leave first, and Lord Tang doesn't need to send ...... far away"

……

Tang Ning stood at the door, waved his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Slow down, everyone......"

When everyone dispersed, a trace of suspicion appeared on his face, and he said in surprise: "It's normal for the officials of the other provinces to come to thank you, what kind of excitement are the officials of Gyeonggi and Jiangnan?" ”

Xiao Jue glanced at him and asked, "Do you really don't know or don't you know?" ”

Tang Ning wondered, "What do I know?" ”

"Other officials have come to offer condolences, but they don't pay a blind eye, doesn't it mean that they have prejudices against you?" Xiao Jue glanced at him and said: "Half of King Duan's ass is on the throne, just because he impeached you, look at what he has happened to now, who else dares to have prejudices against you?" ”

The matter of Duanwang, Tang Ning knew about it yesterday.

King Duan was left in the palace by Emperor Chen, and the matter of being taught by Scholar Zhang himself has been passed on to the Manchu Dynasty.

The status of the royal family is respected, and the children of the royal family have received the best education since childhood, but generally when the princes reach adulthood, they will move out of the palace and open their own mansions, and they do not need to study with the young princes.

Duanwang is the only exception in recent years.

Probably because His Majesty felt that Scholar Zhang had not taught him well before, and now he wanted to go back to the furnace and rebuild it to see if he could still be saved.

Xiao Jue shook his head and sighed, and said: "Scholar Zhang doesn't know what kind of sin he has created, so he will take over the mess of Duanwang, this is a sheep in the mouth of the tiger, I am afraid that it will be too late to protect it......"

"Don't worry about Scholar Zhang." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Pick some of these supplements and bring them back to Lu Ya and Old General Xiao, I can't eat so much......"

Xiao Jue unceremoniously pulled a large cart of supplements back, there were still a lot of leftovers at home, Tang Ning was not sick or injured, so he didn't need these, so he gave some to the Fang family, the Ling family and several other families......

Emperor Chen had settled the matter between him and Zhao Man, Tang Ning had just solved the quota for lifting people in Jiangnan, and before he had time to rest for a few days, Emperor Chen asked him to go to Shangshu Province to report as soon as possible.

The first thing that Emperor Chen gave him was solved, and the second thing of streamlining taxes was even more difficult.

Fortunately, although Emperor Chen is dark-hearted, he is not unreasonable.

Tax reform is a big project, not like the allocation of imperial examination places, just write a few numbers, Chen Huang only needs Tang Ning to promote it in Beijing first, and give him half a year.

These days, Qiandi is getting more and more chaotic, Tang Ning's mind is not here, but he has just returned to Beijing, and he can't abandon Xiaoru and Xiaoyi again, fortunately, Su Mei will write home every once in a while, and the letter will write about her experience in Qiandi to dispel Tang Ning's worries.

He was about to think about how to solve the tax problem, when a eunuch from the palace came to the Tang Mansion and summoned him to the palace......

……

Chongwen Palace, Zhao Yuan held an ancient book and shook his head, and Duan Wang, who was sitting opposite him, looked straight ahead, outside the gods.

As an adult prince, it is his shame that King Herun is studying here, and I don't know how many officials and people in Beijing laugh at him because of this.

He is the candidate for the crown prince appointed by his father, and what he wants to do is to guide the country and dominate the court and dominate the situation, instead of sitting here and reciting the words of a sage.

Duan Wang was distracted, and Scholar Zhang had already walked down from above, looked at him, and said, "His Royal Highness Duan Wang thinks that what Lao Chen just said is right?" ”

King Duan came back to his senses, looked at him, and said with a smile: "What Scholar Zhang said is very true, this king has been taught......

Mr. Zhang slapped the ring ruler in his hand on the table and said, "But the old minister didn't say anything just now. ”

King Duan looked at him in a daze, his lips moved, and he was about to say something, but Scholar Zhang looked at him solemnly, and said: "Your Majesty will hand over His Royal Highness King Duan to the old minister to teach, and the old minister will have an unshirkable responsibility to His Royal Highness, only by teaching His Royal Highness well, can the old minister be worthy of His Majesty's trust......"

"Okay, okay, this king knows." King Duan waved his hand impatiently, he hadn't heard the words of Scholar Zhang when he was a child, not to mention now, he was just pretending to be in front of his father before, who would care about a sour Confucian who can only move his mouth?

Scholar Zhang looked at him and said, "If there are no rules, you will not stand, Your Highness will be taught by the old man, you must abide by the rules of the old man, and you will be punished for listening to the class and being distracted." ”

King Duan was stunned and asked, "What punishment?" ”

Zhao Yuan, who was on the other side, raised his head, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hit the hand board." ”

Scholar Zhang picked up the ring ruler, looked at King Duan, and said, "Please Your Highness stretch out your palm." ”

King Duan looked at him, frowned, and said, "The scholar is here with this king, so don't use these tricks to scare children......

There is no "Benwang" here, only Zhao Ming, the old man's student. Senior Zhang tugged at his sleeve and said, "Please get up, Your Highness." ”

Duan Wang waved his hand and said impatiently: "Scholar, don't be too ......"

Unexpectedly, with a wave of his hand, Scholar Zhang stepped back a few steps, and his head accidentally hit the pillar in the hall, and he immediately bled like an infusion.

Scholar Zhang held his head, pointed at him, and said, "You, you, deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors......"

"Sir, sir......" Zhao Yuan dropped the book and ran over, seeing that Scholar Zhang's forehead was bleeding, he glanced at Duanwang reproachfully, hurriedly ran out, and said loudly: "Someone, call the Imperial Doctor, call the Imperial Doctor!" ”

In the hall, King Duan sat there in a daze, muttering, "I really didn't ...... hard."
