The case of Tobe Shirou broke out suddenly, and it ended quickly, and there were all kinds of signs that His Majesty had already started investigating Han Ming a long time ago.

There are careful people, calculating from the time, from the day when the Beijing division sent secret spies to Bozhou Sanzhou to investigate, and then rushed back day and night, it happened to be the days when the household department finished settling the accounts.

In this way, the gossip can no longer be called gossip, and Tang Ning, the new director who has just arrived in the household department, is indeed the source of the investigation of this corruption case.

This case involves a wide range of cases, which is rare in recent years, and the involvement on the surface has caused a little turmoil in the court, and some news that has not surfaced on the surface is even more terrifying.

At the same time as Han Ming's case, His Majesty inexplicably reprimanded King Duan, saying that it was a reprimand, but the degree was still above the reprimand.

According to the news from the palace, His Majesty punished King Duan by breaking a torture rod, and King Duan received more than just a three-month grounding.

It is said that most of the treasury of Duanwang's Mansion was emptied by the forbidden army, and the flow of this money is unknown for the time being, but it is related to the Han Ming case and the heavy hand of His Majesty, and the inside story of this is already obvious.

In recent days, King Duan's performance in the court has been slightly inferior to King Kang, after this incident, if you want to reverse the situation, it will be difficult, and even many people have decided in their hearts that the dispute between King Kang and King Duan and King has been decided.

The gate of Duanwang's Mansion was closed, and within three months, the main gate was not opened, and the mansion was cold and desolate.

King Kang looked at the dancing girls in the hall, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It turns out that Han Ming turned out to be Zhao Ming's person, so dangerous, so dangerous!" ”

Someone around him complimented: "Your Highness has the favor of God, and it is natural that evil will turn into good fortune when something happens." ”

"It's not God this time." King Kang drank a glass of wine and said, "Fortunately, Tang Ning didn't send that gift, otherwise, this king is probably not much better than Zhao Ming." ”

The man thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, since Tang Ning already knew that Han Ming had a problem, why didn't he tell His Highness earlier?" ”

A middle-aged man beside King Duan glanced at him coldly and said, "This is a confidential matter in the court, if he can casually reveal it to His Highness, what will Your Majesty think?" ”

The man knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "It's a subordinate gaffe, a subordinate's gaffe......"

"Makes sense." King Kang thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "This matter is too wide, if it is slightly leaked, my father will definitely investigate it strictly, and it will be difficult for this king to explain at that time, besides, this time it is Zhao Ming who died by himself, whether this king knows it or not, it is a great thing for this king......"

He thought for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Mr. Xu, what should we do next?" ”

"We don't have to do anything." The middle-aged man said: "After this incident, King Duan has completely lost power in the court, as long as His Royal Highness does not make a mistake, King Duan will have no chance, not to mention, if we don't do it, there will be people who will do it for us, Lord Tang is now walking in the six departments, His Royal Highness can no longer know his ability, with his enmity with the Tang family, will he let go of the Tang family and Duan Wang in the six departments?" ”

King Kang thought for a while, patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "Mr. is reasonable......

……

The time has entered the winter moon, and although the snow has not yet fallen, the weather is already a little cold.

In the small courtyard of the natural house, there are occasionally a few residual leaves swaying in the wind on the bare trees, and the atmosphere looks a little gloomy.

Su Mei sat on the swing in the courtyard, swinging up and down with the swing, sometimes revealing a small piece of smooth ankle, and the breeze around her body was slightly fragrant, diluting the bleak winter in the courtyard.

She swinged, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Have you made up your mind to help King Kang win the throne?" ”

Even Su Mei, who was the person next to the pillow, felt so wronged.

The relationship between him and King Kang is similar to the relationship between enemies and friends.

In the past, everyone took what they needed and used each other, but in fact, it didn't help King Kang much.

And this time, it was Fang Zhe who provoked it, and he was the one who benefited in the end, Han Ming died, and the household department was the biggest except for Shangshu, Tang Ning was sure that before the new household servant arrived, the entire household department would be firmly grasped by him.

King Kang is also a profiteer, he didn't do anything, but the profit is the greatest, Duanwang touched Emperor Chen's bottom line this time, most of them are wasted, King Kang is sitting at home, the throne comes from the sky, and he always encounters pies falling from the sky, and he will wake up with a smile even if he is afraid of dreaming.

And Tang Ning himself, after this incident, did not get any benefits, but the title of broom star got one.

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What do you think of King Kang?" ”

Su Mei's swing was getting lower and lower, and she said, "You help me push the swing first." ”

Tang Ning walked behind her and let her swing again, Su Mei shook her calves, and said: "King Kang, this person, has no great talent, very mediocre, but his luck is very good, you are against the Tang family, against King Duan, and ......in the end it is he who benefits."

Su Mei's evaluation of King Kang, Tang Ning can no longer agree with him, King Kang is not only mediocre, but also stingy, mediocre is fine, there are capable ministers around him to assist, and there will be no big mistakes, and stingy people, the pattern is not enough, and generally not a big thing.

Han Ming fell, King Duan was almost abolished, and King Kang had already stepped into the East Palace with one foot, but he still hadn't expressed even a bit of gratitude, which can be seen from this.

Tang Ning looked at her and suddenly asked, "Why did you say Han Ming fell to King Duan?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Su Mei glanced at him and said, "When Han Ming faced the entire traitorous group alone, the Tang family and Concubine Tang Hui made a lot of efforts in secret, otherwise, with him supervising the imperial history, he would have been gnawed to the point that there were no bones left." ”

Tang Ning was surprised: "And this matter? ”

Su Mei jumped off the swing and said: "The Tang family relied on that opportunity to become the overlord of the DPRK and China in one fell swoop, and in the past ten years, they have worked hard to create today's Tang family, the Han family is the culprit of the fall of the traitorous prime minister on the face, although the traitorous minister has fallen, but the residual power is still not to be underestimated, do you think, why can the Han family live in Beijing safely and steadily over the years?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a while, and then asked, "He is not even afraid of death, will he submit to King Duan because of this?" ”

"People always change." Su Mei looked at him and said: "Especially you men, who like the new and hate the old, and there are fewer ...... who see different ideas, you are willing to sleep with me now, can you guarantee that you can still sleep with me in ten years?" ”

A very serious question, she can also deviate here, Tang Ning thought about it, ten years later, Duanwang may have completely collapsed, and the Tang family has also completely collapsed, their family can appear openly, and he doesn't have to come here secretly every time, and at that time, there seems to be no reason to come here often......

Tang Ning looked at her and said honestly, "There is no guarantee." ”

"Okay, you have no conscience......" Su Mei stretched out her hand and tugged at his ear, and said angrily: "The old lady has relied on you for this life, and she has relied on you for ten, twenty, and thirty years......

……

The Imperial Study.

Your Majesty has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the palace are all cautious, and they dare not come out of the atmosphere, and they dare not make too much noise when walking.

Even the courtiers who were summoned in the hall also held their breath and did not dare to refute any sentence.

Qian Shuo took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, now the position of the right attendant of the household department is vacant......

Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "I haven't thought of a suitable candidate for the time being, the position of the right waiter is empty for the time being." ”

Qian Shuo nodded yes.

Emperor Chen's gaze looked down again, and said, "Tang Ning has been in the household department for more than a month, and the order in which he will go to each department next, you can discuss it." ”

Many people below frowned when they heard this.

Tang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, lowered his head and lowered his hand, without saying a word.

The secretary of the criminal department looked left and right, looked at the secretary of the department, and said with a smile: "Our criminal department is not short of people for the time being, so it is better to let him go to the ministry first......"

The Ministry of Officials' eyelids jumped, and immediately said: "Our Ministry of Officials is not short of people for the time being, so it is better to let him go to the Ministry of Works." ”

The old man beside him stroked his beard, patted his ears, and asked, "What, what did Lord Zhou just say?" What's wrong with our Ministry of Industry? ”

Chen Huang looked at the chaos below, and his face darkened.
