Chapter 336: Encountering the Old
Emperor Chen's thoughts are very dangerous, and he inexplicably asked him to marry Miss Li, not to mention that Xiaoru and Xiaoyi would not agree, and even Tang Yaoyao would not agree.
What's more, their relationship has not yet reached that point.
However, he is the emperor, the emperor can do whatever he wants unreasonably, if he really forces him to do this, he can't resist, what should he do when the time comes------ this is really a headache.
Emperor Chen looked at him and swallowed back what he was about to say.
"You ......" He stretched out his hand and pointed at King Fu and Tang Ning, waved his hand again, and said, "If I appoint one person, it seems that I am biased and unfair, so it is better to let the county lord of Changning choose for himself." ”
In ancient times, only the emperor chose a princess to marry at random, but rarely let the princess choose her own husband, but the political marriage between Chen and Chu was originally used in exchange, and there was not so much attention at all.
Emperor Chen summoned him to the palace this time, and he ordered this matter.
This time he went to the state of Chu, and he, the marriage envoy, in addition to escorting the princess, also had to take on the heavy responsibility of proposing, and the burden on his shoulders was not heavy.
Regarding the marriage, King Kang and King Duan did not fight with each other, and they broke up unhappily.
Tang Ning and King Huai walked out of the hall together, King Huai turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "This is a long way to go to Chu State, Lord Tang has a heavy responsibility, but you have to take care of yourself." ”
Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”
He and King Huai are not familiar with each other, but they have only had a relationship, and after a pleasant greeting, he walked down the steps by himself and left directly.
King Fu walked out of the hall, stood beside King Huai, looked at Tang Ning's departing back, showed a smile on his face, and said, "This champion is actually a rare smart person. ”
"What did Uncle Huang say?" King Huai put his two hands in his sleeves, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "There are only a few champions of Sanyuan and the first in ancient times, but it is not enough to study hard. ”
King Fu looked at him, with a warm smile on his face, and asked: "It is said that the lord of Changning County was born to the country and the city, can be good at literature and martial arts, and is the daughter of the regent, and has a respected status, don't you plan to fight?" ”
"Spare me...... King Huai shook his head resolutely and said: "Not to mention that the two royal brothers can't get by, and I can't explain it to my princess, Uncle Wang, didn't you kill me?" ”
King Fu laughed and said: "As a child of the royal family, I am afraid that I will become like this, except for the princess, there is no side concubine in the house, but I will be laughed at." ”
King Huai looked at him, shook his head and said: "People often say that fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps, how can Uncle Wang laugh at fifty steps in a hundred steps, you are not afraid of people's jokes, can you dare to say what you just said in front of the princess?" ”
King Fu was furious when he heard this: "What do you mean by this, no big or small, where have you learned etiquette......
……
When Tang Ning walked out of the palace, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when the emperor encountered a major event, he was still as indecisive as ever.
However, his indecisiveness this time is exactly what Tang Ning wants, and the power of marriage and marriage is all in his hands, and I don't know how many gifts King Kang will secretly give after he goes back.
He originally thought that Emperor Chen courted the State of Chu just to make the connection between the two countries closer, but a few words of unclear meaning said by Emperor Chen in the main hall today made him understand Emperor Chen's true intentions.
The situation of the royal family of Chu is far more complicated than that of Chen.
Emperor Chu's life is not long, the prince is incompetent and immoral, but there is another regent in the court who has both ability and political integrity, outstanding ability, and everyone is in the heart, after the death of Emperor Chu, this throne may not necessarily fall into anyone's hands.
It is naturally good for the crown prince of Chu to ascend the throne, if it is King Xin who is on the throne, then this marriage will be meaningless, and it will even put Zhao Man in a dangerous situation.
But if the two marriages are successful, whether it is the crown prince of Chu State or the king of Xin, there is not much difference for Chen State.
No matter what happens to the Chu State in the future, Chen Guo will not lose anything, this is Chen Huang's wishful thinking.
For the sake of the country, he can sacrifice the happiness and even the life of his own daughter, which is probably the nature of the emperor.
Tang Ning didn't plan to tell Zhao Man about this, she just needed to be a stupid white sweet.
He suppressed these thoughts for a while, passed by the Hanlin Temple, and saw someone coming out of the courtyard.
At this time, it was already past the time to go down, and I didn't expect that there were still people in the Hanlin Academy working overtime until now, and after a closer look, I found that the person who came out was actually Fang Zhe.
Fang Zhe is both a household servant and a bachelor's student, so he has two yamen to choose from on weekdays, and Tang Ning, who is also a bachelor's student in the household department, is the same.
"Lord Fang stays." Thinking of something, Tang Ning opened his mouth to stop him.
Fang Zhe turned around, Tang Ning took out a sachet from his arms and handed it over, and said, "This is Xiao Yue forgot at my house, Lord Fang helped her take it back." ”
Xiaoxiao and Fang Xinyue were originally going to catch dragonflies, but they were worried that they would lose the sachet by jumping up and down, so they asked Tang Ning to take it first, and since they met Fang Zhe, they just let him take it back.
Fang Zhe took the sachet and asked casually: "Your Majesty summoned you?" ”
Tangning nodded.
Fang Zhe put away the sachet and asked, "Just now I saw that King Kang, King Duan, and King Huai have passed, and I should be talking about asking for the county lord of Changning of Chu State, Your Majesty handed over this errand to you?" ”
Tang Ning didn't really want to talk to Fang Zhe, although he liked Fang Xiaoyue very much, he didn't like her as a conspiracy and black-bellied father.
"Your Majesty trusts you." Fang Zhe said as he walked: "However, you took the initiative to ask to enter the Ministry of Rites, and went to great lengths to become a marriage envoy, traveling thousands of miles from Beijing to Chu, you should not just want to send the princess to marry, right?" ”
Tang Ning paused and asked, "What does Lord Fang want to say?" ”
Fang Zhe stood at the gate of the palace and said: "Young man, you still have to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, what can be done and what cannot be done, hitting the stone with an egg, shaking the tree with a mayfly, will only bring about your own destruction." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked slowly towards the outside of the palace.
Tang Ning was silent for a moment, and then said: "It seems that Lord Fang, it is precisely because he knew that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he knows what to do, that he will spend fourteen years in the Hanlin Academy, accumulate a lot of money, and once he has an epiphany, he will be able to enter the main household department and dominate the ......court."
Fang Zhe's footsteps stopped, he didn't know what he remembered, and his fist that was shrunk in his sleeve was clenched tightly.
When Tang Ning walked past him, his footsteps paused again, and he asked, "If you give Lord Fang another chance, do you choose to know the sky and the earth back then, or do you choose to know the benefits and disadvantages, know the advance and retreat, and become the household servant after fourteen years?" ”
He didn't wait for Fang Zhe to answer, he left directly, disappearing into the crowded crowd of people on the street.
Fang Zhe stood in place for a long time, and the clenched fist in his sleeve slowly loosened, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
Downing walked down the street, but his heart was not as relaxed as the previous two days.
He could tell that Fang Zhe was reminding him that the interests of the two countries were involved, and if he was not careful, he would never recover.
Although he had full confidence, he had to be fully prepared before leaving.
He was thinking about something, and as he passed by a certain place on the side of the street, he suddenly heard a loud noise from the shop next to him.
He turned his head to see a few guys running out of the drugstore on the street in a panic.
A strong man strode out of the pharmacy, holding a girl in one hand and a pig-killing knife in the other, and said angrily: "Quimp, take your life!" ”
Looking at the strong man, Tang Ning stood on the street with a stunned expression.
