Chapter 364: The Imperial Inquiry
Originally, Tang Ning planned to take the soldiers to patrol the camp, but thinking that the rumors had already spread in the camp, Tang Ning decided not to go.
Everywhere he went, it was certainly that strange gaze with an inquiring look.
After the generals dispersed, the most concerned was what the irrefutable meaning of the mouth of Lord Toji.
"Lao Zheng, what do you think adults mean when they say they can't be refuted?" After the generals dispersed, they were still talking with probes in twos and threes.
Zheng Yuanxian groaned: "Lord Dusi said that it is impossible to refute, there are two possibilities, one may be that the rumors are too turbulent, and the adult's refutation is too weak in the face of this turbulent rumors. ”
"Of course, one possibility is that it cannot be refuted......"
"Lao Zheng, what you said is all nonsense! I'm asking you what kind of possibility do you think! ”
Zheng Yuanxian laughed in a low voice: "You are stupid, even if you are unable to refute, you have to refute, at least you have to write a book to clarify, but have you read Lord Dusi's book?" Lord Du Si didn't say anything directly, and came to the camp to avoid the limelight. ”
This is also true, if the rumors are false, then the adults have already refuted them with sincere fear, how can they just ignore the fact that they came to the Nanshan camp to hide quietly, isn't this tantamount to acquiescence?
"Alas, the emperor is too, the capital is both civil and military, and the emperor can just recognize each other directly, so that the rumors will not be calmed down."
Zheng Yuanxian hurriedly said: "Silence, this kind of thing is not something we can intervene in, hurry up and listen to Lord Dusi, and it is the right thing to calm down the rumors in the camp." ”
The rumors in the capital are so turbulent and intensifying, the bigwigs in the court can't sit still, originally they still expect the emperor to speak, Jinyi Wei or the internal guard department to act, or Tang Ning to write a book to defend himself.
As a result, the Jinyi Guard and the Internal Guard Division did not move, the emperor turned a deaf ear, and Tang Ning hid directly in the Nanshan camp.
Several bigwigs in the cabinet also had a headache, in fact, they also believed this rumor for eight points, and with the emperor's attitude, it was even more believable.
The problem is, you can't just do it! Isn't it your own cub, the emperor, you have a word! If so, just admit that you are the prince, if you don't deny it, the rumors will be quelled, and the capital will be peaceful.
Now some people can't help but write the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the emperor doesn't say a word about it, but just stays in the matter.
After the discussion on this day, Wang Quan, a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, finally couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in Beijing today, it is rumored that Tang Ning is the prince, and the court is very passive. ”
When the emperor heard this, he smiled and said: "Some gossip and rumors are just the talk of the people in Beijing after dinner, and they are not worth mentioning, and they will be dispersed with the wind in a few days, so it is not worth making a big move." ”
Wang Quan groaned: "Your Majesty, it is about the emperor's reputation, and the prince's affairs are related to the country's society, so it is not good to let the people criticize." ”
The emperor smiled: "Wang Ge is serious, this kind of thing has always been more and more black, and the more you take care of it, the more it rises, it is better to ignore it, it will quickly dissipate." ”
After the emperor said this, he took the eunuch and turned around and went to the apse, Wang Quan and the others were very helpless, although the emperor said that the cloud was light and the wind was light, and the rumors dissipated after a while.
But Wang Quan and the others also noticed that the emperor never denied the rumors from beginning to end. If this rumor is false, then how can the emperor not say a word?
The problem is that they can't figure out what the emperor is thinking, because now Tang Ning is still leading the commander of the Nanshan battalion, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is in the land of Gyeonggi.
Of course, now that the emperor is in his prime, there is naturally no need to worry about it, but what about the future?
Although there was a precedent for the prince to lead the army to fight, it was a temporary leader in wartime, and there has never been a precedent for the prince to still lead the army without war.
Of course, Tang Ning is not a prince yet.
They just wondered in their hearts, why did the emperor never recognize Tangning? If the emperor doesn't like Tang Ning, it's impossible.
What has happened since Tang Ning entered Beijing, no matter which one of them, shows that he is very favored by the emperor. Things are all in a uproar, so it doesn't make sense?
"Your Majesty, General Tang has gone to the Nanshan camp, and he has never returned to Beijing since then, and the Tang Mansion has always been arranged by the master of the horses."
"The rumors also spread to the Nanshan camp before, but General Tang immediately cleaned up the rumors after going to the Nanshan camp." Zheng Yi said respectfully.
The emperor nodded lightly and said, "Well, what else?" ”
Zheng Yi said respectfully: "Also, the eldest princess has been to Rongfu twice in the past few days, and the first time she went, she also brought a heavy gift to Miss Rong. ”
"According to the reply of the spies in Aoki Town, a team of people and horses went to the town to investigate General Tang's background, and according to the slave maid, it was a close guard sent by His Royal Highness."
The emperor smiled: "It's not surprising that the eldest noticed it at this time, I am just curious that the second child noticed it so early." ”
Zheng Yi smiled: "Didn't the princess also recognize General Tang at once?" Although there were not many people who saw the queen back then, there were many of them, and the queen's appearance was heroic, and it was not impossible if anyone remembered it. ”
The emperor smiled: "Yes, those who have seen her are indeed difficult to forget. ”
Zheng Yi hesitated: "Your Majesty, the identity of General Tang is not a secret now, and even the news has spread in the capital......"
The emperor sighed: "It's time, but I don't know how to mention it to him, just wait for him to enter the palace after his wedding, he is so big, I'm afraid I don't know my mother's face." ”
The people in the capital talked a lot, waiting for the young general who shook the capital to turn into the third prince, but there was no news after a long call.
The palace was very calm, the Tang Mansion and the Rong Mansion were busy with marriage, and no one in the mansion talked about this, as if there had never been a rumor.
The rumored young general went directly to the Nanshan camp and never showed up again, which made the people in Beijing a little disappointed.
The only thing that can bring them a trace of reverie is that the eldest princess repeatedly goes to the Rong Mansion, which seems to confirm the rumors, otherwise why would the eldest princess deign to go?
He has the final say on his own territory, and since Tang Ning ordered the rectification of rumors, the atmosphere in the camp has been solemn, and he continues to practice with peace of mind.
The weather was getting hotter, and Downing ordered the drills to take place only in the morning and at dusk. The competition is certainly fiercer today than last year, because the drill method that Downing has put together has already been implemented.
It is foreseeable that this year's autumn hunt will not be as unique as last year, but a battle for the dragon. However, Tang still pursues the way of combining work and rest.
If the soldiers suffer from heat stroke, it will affect their morale and delay their training.
