Chapter 881:-for-tat

"Click!"

In the carriage entering the palace, Wei Jian took a bite of the apple, Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Your Majesty's body, is it really as rumored by the outside world?" ”

Wei Jian sighed and said, "It's more serious than what is rumored by the outside world, the imperial doctor said that Your Majesty's body is afraid that it won't last this month." ”

It's already the middle of the month, doesn't it mean that Emperor Chen's time is not even half a month?

Tang Ning frowned, looked at Wei Jian, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Wei Jian shook his head and said: "Since Lord Tang left the Jingshi, His Majesty's body has been getting worse day by day, he spends most of his time in a coma every day, and gradually handed over political affairs to King Duan to deal with, Concubine Tang Hui took the opportunity to take control of the palace, and forbade the ministers to meet him on the grounds of His Majesty's body, and this time we passed the news of Lord Tang's return to His Majesty, and it took a lot of twists and turns......

Tang Ning sighed, his mood a little complicated.

Although Emperor Chen's methods, in his opinion, are a little too cruel and ruthless, it is undeniable that he is a generation of heroes, but even if he makes great achievements during his reign, they will eventually be turned into cold words in the history books with his death.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and Wei Jian spoke again, breaking the atmosphere.

His eyes looked out of the window, and he said as if unintentionally: "We know that there is a great grudge between Lord Tang and King Duan, but Your Majesty has made a choice now, Lord Tang still has to be merciful to King Duan......

He paused in his tone and added, "At least, while His Majesty is still on the throne......"

Wei Jian actually doesn't talk much in ordinary times, but today he took the initiative to talk to Tang Ning a lot, revealing more information.

Tang Ning looked at him, a hint of discoloration appeared in his eyes, and said, "Is Your Majesty really relieved to hand over Chen Guo to King Duan?" ”

Wei Jian said: "King Run is young and can't handle political affairs, Your Majesty is worried that he will be used by people with intentions, and the prince who is divided into foreign seals is even more unbearable than King Duan, and Your Majesty has no choice." ”

Obviously, the person who Emperor Chen said is the Fang family, Zhao Yuan is young, if he is made the emperor, first, he will not be able to suppress the powerful ministers in the court, and secondly, Emperor Chen is afraid that he is also worried that the Fang family is too powerful, and if he is not careful, Chen Guo may not be surnamed Zhao.

Originally, in a few years, when Zhao Yuan became an adult, this concern of Emperor Chen would disappear, but accidents always came so quickly, and his body no longer allowed him to wait.

For Emperor Chen, Duanwang is indeed the most helpless but also the most suitable choice.

Tang Ning noticed that Wei Jian seemed to have forgotten an important person, and asked, "What about King Huai?" ”

If measured by talent alone, none of the princes, including King Run, is more suitable for that position than King Huai.

Wei Jian said: "King Huai is ...... because of his background."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Does Chief Wei also want to tell me that because King Huai's mother has no status, King Huai is not qualified to be the emperor?" ”

Wei Jian looked at him for a long time before shaking his head and said, "What Your Majesty thinks in his heart, those of us who are slaves don't know. ”

Tang Ning was no longer embarrassed by Wei Jian, he had already told him a lot of information, a lot of information he needed, and he had already made his position clear.

The carriage drove into the palace and stopped outside the harem, Wei Jian walked in with Tang Ning, and a palace maid guarding the door saw this, picked up the palace skirt, and hurriedly ran to another palace.

Tang Ning did not enter Empress Chen's palace many times, that is, he could only enter when he was treating Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother.

He walked side by side with Wei Jian and asked casually, "Are the Queen Mother and Concubine Shuniang okay?" ”

Wei Jian nodded and said, "The Queen Mother and Concubine Shu have always been well. ”

It seems that although Concubine Tang Hui is in control of the harem, she doesn't dare to do anything to Concubine Shu, but this is only temporary, with Concubine Tang Hui's ruthless methods, I am afraid that Emperor Chen has just died, she will wipe out King Run, King Huai, and even Concubine Yu and other harem concubines, judging from her previous style of acting, it is possible to find a reason for them to be buried together.

Tang Ning and Wei Jian came to the door of the Cultivation God Temple, and were about to enter, but suddenly a voice came from behind them.

"Stop!"

Concubine Tang Hui walked out of the corridor on the left, looked at Tang Ning, and said in a deep voice: "As a foreign minister, is the harem a place where you can come?" ”

Wei Jian hurriedly explained: "Niangniang, this is Your Majesty'......"

Concubine Tang Hui glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you have a part to speak here?" ”

When Wei Jian heard this, he looked at her and had to keep his mouth shut.

"Chief Wei summoned this official in the name of His Majesty, why can't he speak?" Tang Ning glanced at Concubine Tang Hui and continued: "Your Majesty has summoned, don't talk about this harem, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the minister has to come." ”

Wei Jian glanced at Tang Ning without missing a trace, and Concubine Tang Hui snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty asked you to die, will you go too?" ”

Tang Ning smiled and said: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, if His Majesty lets the mother die, the minister will also personally give the mother a three-foot white silk ......."

Concubine Tang Hui's face was full of anger, her eyes stared at Tang Ning, and she said sharply: "Presumptuous! ”

"It's you who is presumptuous!" Tang Ning's face sank, and he said: "This official should be the right minister, Your Majesty summoned this official, there are important state negotiations, as a concubine, what qualifications do you have to stop this official, the harem interferes in politics, and causes chaos in the court, do you know, this official can unite with colleagues in the DPRK and China, and abolish your position as a concubine!" ”

When he said this, he did not hide the murderous aura in his heart.

No matter how ruthless Concubine Tang Hui's methods are, she is just a woman, Tang Ning has traveled all over the country in the past two years, she has seen a lot of corpses and mountains and sea of blood, and her hands have also been stained with blood, how can his killing intent be something that an ordinary woman can bear?

A coolness poured out from the bottom of her heart, Concubine Tang Hui's face turned pale, she stepped back a few steps, and said in a trembling voice: "You, do you want to rebel!" ”

At this moment, she realized that the young man in front of her was the prime minister of the right side, the decisive and decisive general of Zuo Xiaowei, not the nephew who had never been taken seriously by her......

Tang Ning showed a smile on his face and said, "Stop Your Majesty from summoning the prime minister, I think it's Niangniang who wants to rebel......"

Concubine Tang Hui was speechless by what he said, and at this moment, there were a few light coughs from the palace, and Emperor Chen, supported by two eunuchs, walked out of the palace, looked at Concubine Tang Hui, and said: "He was summoned by Wei Jian by me, there is no business for you here, go down." ”

Concubine Tang Hui glanced at Tang Ning unwillingly, and then remembered his eyes just now, her face turned even paler, she glared at Wei Jian viciously, bowed to Emperor Chen, and said, "The concubine retires." ”

After Concubine Tang Hui left, Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning and said, "Come in." ”

Compared to when Tang Ning left Jingshi, Emperor Chen was like two people.

In less than half a year, his whole person was half thin, his face was pale, his eyes were deep-set, and he didn't need to be diagnosed by a doctor at all, just by looking at it, ordinary people knew that he was dying.

Tang Ning followed Emperor Chen into the Cultivation Temple, Emperor Chen sat on the chair, leaned in, and asked, "How is the matter in Qiandi?" ”

The hall was filled with smoke and the smell of incense, Tang Ning looked up at Emperor Chen and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the remnants of the Liang State want to restore the country in Guizhou, so there will be chaos in Guizhou." ”

"Liang Guoyu Party, Liang Guoyu Party, aren't they already dead in Jiangnan......" Emperor Chen paused several times in one breath, and his voice was extremely low, as if he didn't have much strength.

Tang Ning explained: "It was the remnants of the King of Qian's party who were killed by the ministers in Jiangnan, and it was the party of the King of Wu who made a rebellion in the land of Qian, but Your Majesty can rest assured that the ministers have destroyed their plans, and in a short period of time, the land of Guizhou will not be chaotic again." ”

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "You can do things, I don't worry." ”

If it was in the past, when he heard such news, Emperor Chen would definitely laugh a few times and express the joy in his heart.

However, at this moment, there was no expression on his face, his eyes were a little hollow, and there was no look.

Tang Ning lamented a little in his heart, a generation of male masters, and finally came to this point......
