The most important thing is a stable word? This made Tang Ning a little surprised, he led the army to the border town this time naturally thinking of something to do.

Not to mention that the soldiers of the Nanshan battalion were clamoring for shame, he himself felt that he had to win a big battle to prove himself when he went to the border pass.

But the old man now told him to be stable, which made him a little puzzled.

Master Rong also saw the puzzled look on his face, and explained with a smile: "I think you led the troops to the border town this time, not seeking merit but no fault!" ”

"I have been in charge of the army, and I have never lost a battle, which is already outstanding compared to the eldest prince and the second prince. That's seniority. ”

"My Great Zhou Dynasty established the country by force, and the biggest threat is the invasion of the barbarians in the northwest border town.

"This is where you win over the eldest prince and the second prince, and no one can refute it. But if there is a loss, it will be difficult. ”

"If there is a point of loss, it will not be able to recover even if you try hard! The emperor promised a three-year period. ”

"I also know that you have the heart to go to the border to win a battle to prove yourself, but there is a lot of risk involved, you have to think about it."

Tang Ning couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard this, he really wanted to lead the troops to win a hearty battle, but he had to admit that what the old man said was indeed reasonable.

Fighting a war means taking risks, and the barbarians, in particular, are very fierce, and it is not easy to defeat them. And once he loses, even if the emperor wants to push him to be the prince, he will be very passive.

As the old man said, he led the troops to the border town, as long as he was without fault, it was a dazzling qualification. Even if he doesn't do anything, just going to the border town to see it is a qualification.

If you think about it rationally, what he needs is not to seek merit but to seek no fault, because he has now gained the upper hand in the battle for the storage position, and what he needs most now is to be safe, not to take the risk of taking the sword.

But I really feel a little unwilling.

Lord Rong could also see Tang Ning's hesitation in his heart, but he couldn't say too much, after all, his son-in-law was not a son, and it was impossible to be as tough as his son.

He could only point it out, and Tang Ning had to consider the rest himself.

Lord Rong said with a smile: "Although my family has nothing to do with the generals in the border town, I am very close to some civil officials. ”

Next, Master Rong talked about the civil officials in the border town, he said it very carefully, and he explained the details very clearly, which also made Tang Ning weigh it in his heart.

When Lord Rong was talking to Tang Ning, Mrs. Rong was also talking to Rong Xuan in the inner room.

Mrs. Rong whispered: "What does the lord mean, my uncle is going to the border town, the most important thing is to stabilize the word, not to seek merit, but to have no fault." No fault is meritorious, as long as you go to the border town with a large army, it is a dazzling qualification. ”

"But if there is a slight mistake, it is a very hard work and it is difficult to recover. Now the emperor should belong to his uncle in his heart, so the most important thing now is to be safe. ”

"And it's safe, and there's no risk. My uncle is the prince, is the emperor really willing to let my uncle charge into battle? Presumably, the emperor will also secretly confess to General Yao. ”

"But what I fear most in my heart is that my uncle is young and vigorous, and he is bent on winning a big battle. But the barbarians are fierce! It is estimated that the master will also talk to his uncle about this at this time, but it is not easy to say deeply, if the uncle can't turn the corner, you must persuade him. ”

Rong Xuan nodded again and again, she knew that these were all things that her father wanted her mother to say to her, and she thought it was true after listening to it.

Don't seek merit but seek no fault, the most important thing for the husband now is to be safe. And most importantly, the risk is minimal.

On the carriage back to the house, Rong Xuan didn't mention anything, until it was time to go to bed to rest, Rong Xuan smiled while loosening his clothes for him: "What did Daddy say?" ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "I talked about some of the officials in the border towns, mainly about the trilateral governor Wang Yuanwang, and the imperial envoy Ma Jianma. ”

Rong Xuan said with a smile: "Lord Wang is my grandfather's protégé, Master Ma and my father are friends in the same year, and I have also studied Chinese from my grandfather for a few years, and I am friendly with the house." Moreover, Mrs. Ma is a distant cousin of her mother's relatives. ”

After finishing speaking, Rong Xuan said with a smile: "I heard my mother say that my father thinks that the most important thing for my husband to lead the troops to the border town this time is to seek stability, not to seek merit but to seek no fault. ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "My father-in-law said it, and I also think what my father-in-law said makes sense." However, after going to the border town, it depends on General Yao's arrangement after all. ”

Rong Xuan hung up the pair in his hand, reflexively hugged Tang Ning's broad chest, and muttered: "The emperor will definitely instruct General Yao, husband, you promise me that you must be safe first, and don't take the initiative to ask for war." ”

"The concubine doesn't want any great rewards, she just wants her husband to return smoothly and safely."

Tang Ning smiled and patted her back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the border towns have always been fortified and defended, how could I take the initiative to ask for battle?" ”

Originally, Tang Ning really planned to meet the barbarian army for a while, but after hearing what the old man said, he suddenly realized.

Since the old man analyzed it so clearly, how could the emperor not understand? That is, the emperor probably thought the same way.

The emperor must have instructed General Huaiyuan in private, so how could General Huaiyuan send him to battle? After thinking about it, Tang Ning's interest faded, after all, it was likely that he would go to the border town to gild this time.

In the following days, Tang Ning became more and more busy, and when Tang Ning was not there during the day, Rong Xuan seemed even busier than Tang Ning.

Rong Xuan was busy going out of the city with her mother to pray for incense, and none of the temples outside the city were left behind, but Rong Xuan walked all over.

Even Rong Xuan in the mansion began to burn incense, Tang Ning was surprised when he saw this: "The assassination on the outskirts of Beijing was planned by the temple, and it happened again in Donghai City, and the people of the temple were eager to arrest me and take me to the temple to light the lamp, but you asked the temple to bless me, do you think it is reliable?" ”

Rong Xuan hurriedly came up and covered Tang Ning's mouth, and said angrily: "You can't blaspheme the gods, the temple is a temple, the gods are gods, and the temple is just a servant of the gods, and it doesn't necessarily represent the will of the gods." ”

Seeing that Rong Xuan suddenly became religious, Tang Ning had no choice but to shrug his shoulders to express his helplessness. Because he knew that Rong Xuan was not really a devout God of Faith, she was just worried in her heart, hoping that he would return safely.

To tell the truth, Tang Ning didn't believe in God in his heart.
