I'm alone again!

Obviously, it was Emperor Xiliang who asked Tang Ning to be a courtier, but seeing Tang Ning so polite, he felt very uncomfortable.

When did his daughter ask him for something and still need to exchange it?

Emperor Xiliang raised his head, and at this time, Tang Ning was looking at him neither humbly nor arrogantly, completely looking like he was not the object of negotiation. It wasn't until Emperor Xiliang said a word lightly, "good", that something that could be called joy flashed in Tang Ning's eyes.

"But......" Emperor Xiliang paused and said, "I can give you the Nine-Leaf Divine Grass, but only after you have done this." Two months is too short, three months. ”

"Within three months, I will see wells and canals everywhere in the west." Xilianghuang said this sentence with great pride, but he felt that his wish for many years was about to come true.

Emperor Xiliang's words made Tang Ning frown, she pondered for a moment and said, "According to Xiliang's current situation, it is impossible to want wells and canals everywhere. Private land accounts for one-third of all fields, and at least one-third of the fields are not allowed to be intervened by ministers. ”

That is, Downing could not dig a well or ditch in someone else's field unless he had the consent of that third. Moreover, it costs a lot of money to dig wells and ditches, and if the other party doesn't pay a little, Tang Ning will want to do it for nothing?

"Where to dig wells and ditches, the court will discuss it tomorrow. Just you, don't let me down. Emperor Xiliang's last sentence was meaningful, and Tang Ning lowered his eyes and said, "Yes." ”

If it was before, Tang Ning could naturally make a grimace, and then bared his teeth and smiled, "Father, don't worry, how can your son let you down?" "It's a pity that she can't be so coquettish now, because she is now just the nominal daughter of Emperor Xiliang.

Emperor Xiliang was a little uncomfortable with Tang Ning's sudden politeness, so they were both silent.

At this moment, a charming voice suddenly came from the door of the temple.

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

If you don't see them, smell them first.

As soon as Leng Yanyan appeared at the door of the council hall, Tang Ning smelled a strong and pungent fragrance. Because the fragrance was so disgusting, Tang Ning actually took two steps back.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was worried that you would be tired, so she specially picked some grapes, washed them and brought them to you." Leng Yanyan said, holding a plate of purple grapes and walking over with her chest twisted and waist.

"Oh, Her Royal Highness Princess Changning is also here. If he knew that His Royal Highness was discussing state affairs with His Majesty, the concubine would not come. Although Leng Yanyan said so, her eyes were full of provocation when she looked at Tang Ning.

After Leng Yanyan's first provocation, Tang Ning asked people to check her information. After being a Houmen, Leng Yanyan is cold and famous. Why did the temperament of the whole body become the same as **** when entering the palace?

Tang Ning glanced at Leng Yanyan, if it weren't for the mole on her neck, Tang Ning would really doubt her true identity.

Seeing that Leng Yanyan was coming, Tang Ning resigned to Emperor Xiliang.

It's just that when passing by Leng Yanyan's side, Tang Ning said in a voice that Emperor Xiliang could also hear, "This palace thinks that the concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics......"

Leng Yanyan is like this, if she meets other people, especially Yushi, she can only get the reputation of the charming king. If you don't make trouble, you have to go into the cold palace.

Tang Ning's words made Leng Yanyan's whole body stiffen, but she quickly put on a charming appearance.

Emperor Xiliang looked at Leng Yanyan's changes, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

Tang Ning didn't expect Li Zhan to stand at the gate of the Ronghua Hall and wait for her.

At this time, Tang Ning was dressed in crimson clothes, and his silk hair danced in the wind when he walked, although his momentum was restrained, his whole body was still full of brilliance, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

Li Zhan was stunned as he watched the woman walking towards him, and his heart throbbed for a while. It wasn't until Downing was about to pass him by that she muttered, "I heard them say you're out." ”

Obviously, this is not a very clever pick-up.

Tang Ning turned around, looked at Li Zhan like a stranger, and said in a natural tone, "Is there anything wrong with King Li?" ”

Subtext, don't dangle in front of my eyes if it's okay.

"You got it?" Not a question, but an affirmation.

"Yes." As for what Tang Ning knew, both of them knew it.

Although he knew that Tang Ning would say this, when he really heard this, Li Zhan's face was still very ugly.

Li Zhan raised his head, looked directly at Tang Ning and said, "You don't have to pity me. I did that at the time, not to make amends, but ...... It is to heed the call of the heart. ”

When Li Zhan spoke, the pride of his body slowly returned to him.

With a pale and sick face, he was dressed in a simple green shirt, but when he wore it, he had the taste of looking at the world.

"Do you need pity?" Tang Ning looked at his current appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Zhan and said, "King Li has also lived in the Ronghua Hall for a long time, although the great rivers in Xiliang are easy to make people happy, but presumably the two ...... of the Northern Qi Capital"

For the rest, Tang Ning didn't say much.

Li Zhan had been in the Ronghua Hall for so long, and compared to Tang Ning, the people under Li Zhan's command were more anxious.

The eldest prince and the second prince of Northern Qi are not good at stubble, they used to try their best to rectify Li Zhan's faction. Taking advantage of Li Zhan's absence in Northern Qi, he was even more arrogant. If Li Zhan went back too late, he could only collect the corpses of his subordinates.

"Are you worried about me?" Knowing that Tang Ning was impossible, such words were said so easily.

"What does the prince think?" Tang Ning looked at Li Zhan, and he didn't even bother to provoke in his eyes.

Tang Ning actually wanted to know what kind of mood Li Zhan was in to stay in Xiliang now. Li Zhan's words are really misleading.

Seeing that Tang Ning also walked away, Li Zhan took a few steps forward and said, "I heard that you are going to dig a well and repair a canal in Northern Qi?" ”

"King Li is very well-informed." Tang Ning only raised his head at this time and took a closer look at Li Zhan, he had lost weight, and he was not as arrogant as before, but the aura that was inadvertently revealed all over his body was still domineering and could not be ignored.

"There are so many people in the hall going back and forth, I guess some." Li Zhan looked at Tang Ning with an indisputable expression, a little awkward, and then said another purpose of his visit, "If you go to oversee the work, can I follow?" ”

Without Tang Ning Ronghua Palace, how could he stay here?

"Hasn't the prince already decided?" Downing didn't answer, turned and left.

Li Zhan didn't want to force her, so he asked her opinion.

But in fact, no matter how Li Zhan changes, he can't change the domineering in his bones. Because, no matter how Tang Ning chooses, he decides to chase her.

He asked Downing to choose the path she was going to take, but he didn't let Downing choose whether to let him be by his side or not, because, there was no choice.

This is Li Zhan's domineering, love you, and then, always protect you, whether you want to or not.

When Tang Ning walked a little farther, Li Zhan looked at his background and shouted softly, "If you want to go back with me, we can leave immediately!" ”

Although he didn't know the reason, Li Zhan could also feel the disharmony between Emperor Xiliang and Tang Ning, since ancient times, as a courtier, he needed to tremble, seeing the woman fighting for Xiliang like this, although he was jealous, but more distressed.

If he can, he is willing to spread his wings and give the woman a sunny tomorrow.

Li Zhan didn't know if Tang Ning had heard it, because when Tang Ning left him and walked towards the main hall, his pace was neither fast nor slow, and there was no change in the slightest.

One lovesickness, two sorrows.

Just when Li Zhan was thinking about how to save Tang Ning's heart in the side hall, Tang Ning was preparing for tomorrow's early dynasty. Digging wells and repairing ditches is a major project, which requires the cooperation of manpower, material resources, financial resources and other parties, and she also needs to come up with evidence and argue with reason to persuade most people to agree to this matter.

After getting on Li Zhan twice, and seeing Li Zhan's body broken in order to save him, Tang Ning had no hatred for Li Zhan, only hostility.

Li Zhan is a respectable opponent, such a person, she wants to meet him on the battlefield. It's a waste of energy to have a personal relationship with a child.

After many days, when Tang Ning, who was dressed in elegant palace clothes, stood beside Emperor Xiliang again, she was full of flamboyant and noble temperament, which shocked the courtiers.

In just half a month, Tang Ning turned out to be a different person, and it became more unpredictable for them.

If the rumors of falling out of favor are true, Tang Ning will be reborn from the ashes this time!

Emperor Xiliang was digging wells and opening ditches this morning, so after a little discussion, Tang Ning played the matter of "opening wells and digging ditches". As soon as this incident came out, the court was in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." Tobe Shangshu, who has always been neutral, was the first to stand up.

"The income and expenditure budget of the household department has a fixed amount every year, and this year there is a drought in the northwest, and the crops are yellow. After the autumn harvest, the people have no grain in stock, and the new grain will not be received, so I am afraid that it will be worrying. The minister believed that in the second half of the year, the money and grain should be used in the places where the people urgently needed, and the matter of digging wells and ditches still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

As soon as the voice of the head of the household department fell, the people from the military department immediately stood up, "The minister also thinks it is inappropriate." ”

"My Xiliang borders Northern Qi, Rongdi, and Southern Ming. The ambition of the wolf son of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the meaning of the tiger and the wolf of Rong Di, and the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty were even more insatiable. Recently, the minister intercepted the information that Rong Di wanted to join forces with Nanming to deal with my Xiliang, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, but he had to guard against it. Fighting a war requires a lot of financial support, and the minister thinks that the consolidation of the border is the foundation of the country, and the matter of digging wells and canals can be slowed down slightly. ”

"The minister also thinks so!" As soon as the two people from the household department and the military department finished speaking, a large number of courtiers echoed them.

How faithful and faithful they are to be.

But Emperor Xiliang knew their thoughts, wasn't he afraid that the power in Tang Ning's hands would get bigger and bigger, and they would get weaker and weaker? Each department thinks about its own department, and only looks at the small profits in front of it!

"Drought in the Northwest? Do you dare to tell me about the drought in the Northwest? When it came to the drought, Emperor Xiliang's tone was very bad, "Liu Changying, how did you act as a household secretary, except for letting me open a warehouse and release grain afterwards, can you think of some remedy!" ”

After yelling a few times, Emperor Xiliang said sharply, "Drought every year, release grain every year!" Half of my Xiliang's surplus grain has gone to the relief of the victims, what else do you use to fight? You can only be beaten! ”

"The imperial court uses so much official money to support you, what else can you do besides an afterthought?! Have all the brains been eaten by dogs? ”

Emperor Xiliang has always been accustomed to speaking softly, but at this time, everyone in the court was shocked.

They now understand why the eldest princess is so strong, it turns out that it is inherited from the Xiliang Emperor!
