Fortunate Young Gentleman

Thrush is a couple's interest and has nothing to do with being 7 feet 8 feet 7 inches 8 inches tall. Some people regard it as a way of flirting, while others think it is detrimental to a man's dignity.

Tang Ning and King Huai looked at each other and smiled, refusing to explain to someone like Xiao Jue who had no interest at all.

Prince Huai and Marquis Dingguo were both doting on their wives. This was the biggest thing they had in common besides being unable to have children. This was known to almost everyone in the capital.

General Xiao was not at the house. King Huai and Princess Huai stayed for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Tang Ning sent them away from the Xiao Mansion. King Huai helped Princess Huai get into the carriage. He looked back at Tang Ning and said, "Thank you."

Tangning asked, "Thank you for what?"

King Huai thanked Tang Ning inexplicably, but didn't say anything. Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao stayed at Xiao's house for half an hour. When they were about to leave, General Xiao happened to return home and asked them to have dinner together. Tang Ning did not Good to refuse.

Xiao Jue looked at General Xiao and said, "Dad, King Huai just came to visit you. They stayed for a while and left after you were not here."

"I understand." Mr. Xiao nodded, looked at Tang Ning, and said with a smile, "Master Tang, sit down."

After Tangning sat down, she took a sip of tea, looked at Mr. Xiao, and asked as if unintentionally, "Does His Highness Prince Huai come to Xiao Mansion often?"

Mr. Xiao looked at him and said with a smile: "King Huai will come every few months, just because the queen was kind to him and he came to see the old man. You don't have to worry about King Huai threatening King Run. "

Tang Ning was a little embarrassed when Mr. Xiao's words hit home, but Xiao Jue seemed to have discovered something and asked, "Prince Run, what's wrong with Prince Run?"

Mr. Xiao glanced at him and said, "You go out, I have something to say with Mr. Tang."

Xiao Jue asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Mr. Xiao glared at him and said, "Go out if I ask you to!"

Mr. Xiao's words still worked. Xiao Jue glanced at Tang Ning and walked out honestly.

After Xiao Jue left, Mr. Xiao looked at Tang Ning again and said, "You made this move very well. With Concubine Shu inside and the Fang family outside, plus you, King Run has a smooth road ahead." ”

Zhao Yuan has already started reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", which means that he has begun to enter Chen Huang's sight and has officially entered the sight of hundreds of officials. Tang Ning has no need to hide it from Mr. Xiao. She smiled, shook her head and said, "This is also true." If there is nothing I can do, I have no choice but King Run.”

"You still underestimate yourself a little." Mr. Xiao glanced at him and said, "Do you know how difficult it is to force the Tang family to this point?"

Tang Ning looked at Mr. Xiao and said with a smile, "I'm afraid no one knows this matter better than this junior."

In three years, from the time he entered Beijing, from the Hanlin Academy, to the Sixth Ministry, to the Shangshu Province, he spent more than three years, bit by bit, eating up the Tang family step by step. The hardships involved, How could he not know?

"Although the Tang family is gone, don't think that you have a guaranteed victory." Mr. Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Do you know why His Majesty has been so partial to Prince Duan and the Tang family in recent years?"

Tang Ning shook his head. When he arrived here, the Tang family was already at its peak. He didn't know much about what happened before.

"Your Majesty's situation back then was actually similar to that of King Run now." Mr. Xiao took a sip of tea and said, "He was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son of the late emperor, so he had no advantages at all. At that time, he was the only one who could seize the legitimate son. It’s a real attempt to seize the heir, murderous at every step, and dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be doomed and die without a burial place..."

Tang Ning glanced at him and asked, "Did the Tang family allow His Majesty to sit on the throne?"

"That's right." Mr. Xiao nodded and said, "At that time, the Tang family's influence in the court was even greater than three years ago. His Majesty married Concubine Tang Hui, gained the support of the Tang family, and moved his brothers one by one. Defeated and finally got this position.”

Mr. Xiao said it calmly, but Tang Ning knew very well that behind this calmness, there must be countless dangers of blood and fire.

Tang Ning said: "Is this also the reason why His Majesty suppressed the Tang family?"

Mr. Xiao gave him an appreciative look and said, "No emperor wants to see a force like the Tang family appear in the court, whether it is Tang Huai's Tang or Tang Ning's Tang."

There was a hint of reminder in Mr. Xiao's words. Tangning understood. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for reminding me."

Mr. Xiao continued: "Because of this, in these years, although His Majesty has been gradually suppressing the power of the Tang family in the court, he still dotes on Concubine Tang Hui and Prince Duan. Prince Kang is the eldest son, but His Majesty favors Duan even more." King, Concubine Tang Hui is not the first to enter the palace, but she has Concubine Zhang Xian and Concubine Yang under her. Even the queen must avoid her. "

What Mr. Xiao is telling you now are all palace secrets. Decades ago, the Tang family placed a heavy bet on Emperor Chen and completed a huge gamble.

The important thing is that they made the right bet, and this is how Concubine Tang Hui and Prince Duan became.

Mr. Xiao continued: "In addition, he is also very tolerant of other aspects of the Tang family. Since he started because of the Tang family, he will definitely not kill them all. No one can predict it until the last moment. The end of this heirloom.”

"Be careful with everything." He glanced at Tang Ning and said, "His Majesty has always acted for profit. You can't even imagine how ruthless he is."

Tangning nodded and said, "Junior knows."

"There is one more thing. I think it's better to tell you." Old Master Xiao looked at Tang Ning and said, "When your parents eloped, they fled from the capital to Lingzhou and almost escaped from the State of Chen. The world is so big that it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone. The Tang family alone can't find them..."

...

When Tang Ning walked out of the room, Xiao Jue immediately came over and asked, "What did my father say to you?"

Tang Ning said, "Go ask Old Master Xiao yourself."

Xiao Jue curled his lips and said, "If I dare to ask him, do I need to ask you?"

Tang Ning said, "He told me some secrets of the court."

Xiao Jue looked incredulous and said, "My father just said that the threat to Prince Huai and Prince Run must not be that simple."

Tang Ning had no choice but to wave at him, and Xiao Jue leaned over to listen.

Tang Ning whispered something in his ear, Xiao Jue's body trembled, his face showed disbelief, and he murmured: "You, you actually..."

Since Mr. Xiao already knew, it doesn't matter if he tells Xiao Jue. If Tang Ning has someone in the capital who can be fully trusted, Xiao Jue must be one of them.

This news shocked Xiao Jue so much that he hadn't recovered after Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao left.

Lu Ya came over with a bulging belly and said dissatisfiedly: "Prince Huai and Marquis Dingguo both drew eyebrows for the lady, look at you again..."

"How can a man do such a shameless thing?" Xiao Jue said: "They are shameless, I still want..."

Lu Ya took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Thinking of what Princess Huai told her, she forced a smile and said: "Just draw for someone once..."

"Someone?" Xiao Jue was still thinking about the matter of Prince Run's succession, and subconsciously asked: "Who is that person?"
