Chapter 214: The Dinner Party
The more the soldiers demonstrated, the more dangerous Tang Wang's eyes became.
Qi Kexue gestured with her eyes to Shen Boling, who was also beside her, Shen Boling understood, and immediately sneaked out from the side.
Tang Wang, who was standing in front of the stage, kept looking at the soldiers below, and didn't pay attention to Qi Kexue and Shen Boling's small movements at all. Tang Qing, who was on the side, also clearly saw everything just now.
After a while, Shen Boling came back, and this time he stood directly by Qi Kexue's side.
Turning around, Shen Boling turned sideways slightly and whispered to Qi Kexue.
After Qi Kexue listened, her brows furrowed.
She guessed correctly, the purpose of Tang Wang's coming this time was this simple military parade.
Just let Shen Boling go out and sent a few snow guards to investigate. Sure enough, they found out that most of the people who came to Tang Wang this time followed Tang Wang to the military camp here, but a small number of them were sent out, and they didn't know what they were investigating.
"What do you think about this?" Qi Kexue whispered to Shen Boling, who was standing beside her.
"I don't know, except for knowing this one news, the rest are still investigating." Shen Boling was also puzzled, Tang Wang's approach was really incomprehensible.
"Since you can't guess it, then just wait and see, and when he acts, then the truth will come out." Tang Wang is not in a hurry, what are they anxious about? Since the show hasn't started yet, now that they are in a hurry to take a look, won't they lose the mysterious atmosphere that this show should have?
This demonstration lasted until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, knowing that Tang Wang had finished watching all the soldiers' usual training projects, this was the real completion of a large-scale demonstration.
Tang Wang still couldn't get enough of it, and his mood seemed to be very happy.
The lunch meal had long since passed, but no one dared to cry out that they were hungry.
Fortunately, when Shen Boling went out to investigate the news just now, he secretly brought back some small snacks for Qi Kexue and hid them in his sleeves, and when others were not paying attention, Qi Kexue had already put them in his stomach.
As for the others, including Tang Qingyi, they all accompanied Tang Wang to the end.
"Someone, what time is it?" Tang Wang touched his stomach, as if he was feeling a little hungry.
"Back to the king, now is the time of Shen." The little eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"No wonder, I feel a little hungry, it turns out that it's so late before I know it, everyone should be hungry too." The last sentence was addressed to the soldiers below, but he continued without them answering, "Yi'er, pass on the decree, tonight's dinner will be made according to Chinese New Year's Eve, and each person will be rewarded with a pot of wine, and a little will be left to stand guard." ”
As soon as Tang Wang's words fell, the soldiers below rang out the shouts of the soldiers and the voices of shouting long live and thanking Long En.
Qi Kexue next to her looked at this scene with a smile, these soldiers are working hard. Since coming here, they have never really relaxed, and there has never been a precedent in the barracks to allow drinking, but this time it was the Tang King who pardoned them for drinking tonight, and of course these people were so happy that they forgot everything and only cared about being happy.
After King Tang made his will, Shen Boling went over and ordered a few people to prepare to stand guard tonight. Although the silver is of no great use in the barracks, how can they not be happy to use this silver to buy something in the town to bring to their wives and daughters, or to take it back directly to buy rice and wheat noodles that are enough to eat for a few months?
As it got dark, the soldiers lit piles of bonfires with the firewood they had gathered, and the bonfires burned vigorously, reflecting everyone's happy faces.
In the open space where the usual meals are eaten, many large tables are simply built, and the rest of the tables are red tablecloths except for the yellow tablecloth on the table of Tang Wang.
Tang Wang's table was set up on a platform in the middle, and below the platform were Tang Qingyi, Shen Boling, Qi Kexue, a general, a deputy general and a strategist.
Behind them were soldiers sitting at ordinary tables.
The soldiers were very excited, they not only saw Tianyan today, but they were even more fortunate to be able to have dinner with King Tang, this was the most honorable thing in their lives, and it was also something they would never dare to think of in this life or in the next life.
They are going to tell their parents, their sons, and their children and grandchildren about this, that they have had dinner with the king of Tang, and what a glorious thing it is. And it is necessary to write it down in the genealogy, so that their descendants, from generation to generation, will know what a great ancestor they have.
The opening scene of the meal is very hypocritical, a few people respect me and I respect you, and they compliment each other hypocritically, but after three rounds of drinking, Tang Wang began to gradually enter the theme.
"I am very happy today, seeing such an excellent soldier in your training department Yi'er is really a blessing for our Tang Kingdom. These soldiers are the best soldiers I have seen since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they will be a rookie on the battlefield. Tang Wang kept praising Tang Qingyi at first, but after a few words, his appearance changed.
"But I've worked hard for you in the past six months, in such a remote frontier, the conditions are so harsh, I really can't bear it. So I decided that this time you will return to Beijing with me, and General Zhang will take over here. He didn't ask Tang Qingyi at all, and decided the next thing bluntly and surely.
When Tang Wang said this, the faces of several people were not very good-looking, but they couldn't help but say nothing.
Tang Qing didn't expect his father to transfer him away, he had been working hard here for more than half a year, and he had been with his brothers for more than half a year, and he was really reluctant to let him go without being psychologically prepared at all.
Qi Kexue didn't do what Tang Qing also thought, there is no unbroken feast in the world, if he doesn't leave today, he will definitely leave tomorrow. But what Qi Kexue was thinking of was King Tang, who was simply an old fox.
No wonder he secretly sent a group of people to investigate, it turned out to be to investigate Tang Qingyi's prestige here. Seeing such an elite army today, the military heart is all there for Tang Qingyi, and it is estimated that he has a heart of vigilance.
said that she was distressed that Tang Qing was also suffering here, she bah!
This is knowing that this side of the frontier is remote, and at this time knowing that it is suffering here? Why did you go in the first place? Wasn't it remote in the first place? Suffering less?
When no one came here, Tang Qingyi took the initiative to ask Ying to solve the problem for King Tang, and when the soldiers were really trained, they actually kicked Tang Qingyi far away.
It's no wonder that modern dramas play the most ruthless kings of ancient times, not only with their concubines, but also with their own sons.
She couldn't figure it out, now that the crown prince is dead, the rest of the princes are like straw bales one by one, either they have no intention of being on the throne, or they don't have the ability to ascend to this position at all.
Now only Tang Qing also has this ability, and he is the most suitable candidate to take over as the next Tang King. Then why did King Tang be wary of him at such a moment? How good it is to set the position of the crown prince early, and he hasn't done such a thing before, why can't he do it again?
Tang Qingyi will sit in this position sooner or later, and it is better to directly choose Tang Qingyi to be a favor.
If it really forced Tang Qingyi to turn his face and be ruthless, wouldn't it be even more difficult to end at that time?
If Tang Qing also rebelled, he would not lose his life like the crown prince, not to mention that he would not get anything.
If Tang Qingyi hadn't rushed over to rescue him, the current throne would have been his, and he would still be able to sit on it safely now?
People, I really don't know how many disasters a word 'greed' will bring to oneself.
"Father, what do you mean by that?" Although Tang Qingyi knew that he shouldn't ask directly, he just wanted to know, he had done so much, why did his father's mind change again?
"I don't want you to suffer here! And I'm old, and I want to have my children by my side. Tang Wang was smart and did not directly confront Tang Qingyi, but chose to use Tang Qingyi's filial piety to make a fuss.
Tang Qing also heard Tang Wang say this, so he didn't continue to ask, but took a big sip of wine and never spoke again.
Qi Kexue glanced at Tang Qingyi, and secretly thought that this Tang King was really smart, and he actually fought psychological warfare. It seems that this Tang Wang is completely a self-taught psychological master, and he can completely grasp Tang Qingyi's weaknesses to attack him, and he has no choice to fight Tang Qingyi.
Because he knew that there were not many soldiers in his hands who could really fight for him now, except for the dead soldiers around him and some eunuchs who were loyal to him, there were not many soldiers who could really go to the battlefield to fight.
Tang Qing was different, before the prince rebelled, some soldiers followed, and he also checked the person named Qi Kexue next to him. This person is actually the underground boss of Shuiyunjian, and he didn't find it at first, because the power of Shuiyunjian is getting stronger and stronger, and this news has only recently been discovered, using a lot of his material and financial resources.
After that, that is, now, it was originally intended for Tang Qing to also train a group of usable ordinary soldiers in the frontier. But when he was surprised, in just half a year, he actually cultivated 100,000 such excellent infantry and cavalry, and everyone was so good, which should have been a good thing for him.
But what annoyed him the most was that when he came this time, he actually found that the military heart of these soldiers was all on Tang Qingyi.
With his current strength, he doesn't dare to bet, and he can't bet, and if he continues to gamble, he can only admit defeat.
As long as he doesn't have a head-on conflict with Tang Qingyi now, then according to Tang Qingyi's character, he will not have the intention of rebellion.
What he needs to do is to slowly exploit Tang Qingyi's forces, which is the best policy.
