In the courtyard of the Tang family, Lu Ya held the child and rocked it gently, but looked at the study room with the door closed, and said in surprise: "They have something important, why did they talk for so long..."

"Just ask him when he comes out, Sister Lu." Su Ru stood beside her, looking at the child in his arms, with a trace of envy on her face.

Lu Ya looked at her and smiled: "Sooner or later you will have it..."

She leaned close to Su Ru's ear and whispered a few words. Su Ru immediately blushed. While the two women were joking, in the study, Xiao Jue was holding a teacup in his hand, his face as gloomy as water.

boom!

The teacup was crushed to pieces by him, and the fragments of the teacup pierced his palm, but he didn't care at all. He stared at Tangning and asked, "Is this true?"

Tang Ning shook her head and said, "The people who experienced these two incidents are all dead. The only clues that can be found are that the Marquis of Yichun, who was the imperial physician at that time, Empress Xiao, Concubine Yang, and the prince of Qin were ill. In severe cases, he is the one who diagnoses and treats..."

Xiao Jue stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to find him right now!"

"It's too late." Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "The Marquis of Yichun committed suicide in the Prison Prison last year because he was involved in the Zhou family's case."

Xiao Jue fell back on his chair, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Are you saying that everyone involved in this matter is dead?"

Tang Ning said: "Except Tang Huai, Tang Qi, and Tang Huifei."

Xiao Jue didn't ask any more questions because Tang Ning had already given him the answer.

The only people related to what happened back then were dead. Even the Tang family couldn't do this. All the evidence points to the person sitting on the throne.

Xiao Jue walked out of the study without saying a word. Lu Ya stepped forward and was about to ask. When she saw the blood on his hands, her expression changed drastically and she asked, "What happened?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Jue's face and he said, "I accidentally broke the tea cup. I just need to bandage it and it will be fine."

Tang Ning asked Qing'er to get gauze, and Lu Ya handed the child to Su Ru and bandaged Xiao Jue herself.

With a distressed look on her face, she couldn't help complaining: "You are such an old person, you can cut your hand even if you drink a cup of tea. Yu'er must never be like you in the future..."

Xiao Jue just smiled and didn't defend himself.

Because Xiao Jue's hand was injured, the two sat at Tang's house for a while and then left.

Tang Ning walked to Su Mei's room. She was still studying the Ten Thousand Gu Poison Scripture. Tang Ning walked to sit next to her and asked, "Can Tian Tianju find out the information from 20 years ago?"

Su Mei shook her head and said: "Tiantianju was established only more than ten years ago. The intelligence network was only established and completed in recent years. Most of the intelligence from ten years ago cannot be found."

She paused and then said: "What's more, after my master returned to Beijing, he hid the power of Tiantianju, and even I couldn't access it. The Tiantianju now is no longer the Tiantianju before... "

Tang Ning ignored the events of 20 years ago and frowned, "If the Wan Gu Sect doesn't interfere with the restoration of the Liang Kingdom, what else do Bai Jin and Gongsun Ying want to do?"

"Although my master attaches great importance to the power of Wan Gu Sect, she has never placed all her hopes on it." Su Mei said: "She has had a big layout in the capital in recent years, and she still has many things. Even I don’t know…”

She paused and then said: "As for Master Gongsun, the First Elder sent a letter saying that she went to the Yunnan region. I think she wanted to provoke a war between the Yunnan region and the Guizhou region and drag us into the water... …”

The former grassland lost a second prince just because of Gongsun Ying's instigation. With her ability to stir things up, it was not impossible to cause chaos in the Yunnan land.

Qiandi is their future home, and Tang Ning will not allow Gongsun Ying and Bai Jin to go through such troubles. When the matter in the capital is resolved, it will be time to solve their problems.

At this moment, Tang Ning had roughly guessed that the Mr. Wu he met in Wanzhou was probably King Wu, Gongsun Ying and Bai Jin's last hope for restoration.

If Gongsun Ying and Bai Jin really lost their way, Tang Ning wouldn't mind crushing their hopes like last time.

……

Since His Majesty became seriously ill, the situation in Beijing has become chaotic, with various forces competing endlessly, and finally ended with the victory of the future crown prince, King Duan.

A few days ago, Tang Xiang returned to the capital, and the overt and covert contest with King Duan made the situation in the capital even more tense.

Although the conflict between the two only lasted a few days, a lot of things happened.

King Duan sacrificed the county magistrate for ten thousand years in order to drag down Tang Ning's father-in-law, Jing Zhao Yin Zhong Mingli, and then wanted to get the right minister Tang Ning's handle. This was a good strategy. Everyone can imagine that Tang Xiang faced this At that time, it was a dilemma.

Just when everyone thought that Tang Ning would take a step back or use the power of prime minister to fight with Prince Duan, Prime Minister Wang's sudden end not only shattered the rumors in the capital that Prime Minister Wang's time was short, but also solved the embarrassing situation faced by Prime Minister Tang. , the two prime ministers stood together. This blockbuster news was like a huge stone thrown into deep water, causing the already undulating lake surface to once again set off huge waves.

What happened next once again proved that the statement about Tang Youxiang being so fussy was not groundless.

The first thing he did when he returned to Shangshu Province was to kick out all the people who had been installed by King Duan in Shangshu Province during this period, including Shangshu Zuocheng Li Qi. In name, he was on a mission to the grassland, but everyone knew that , under the guise of going to the grassland as an envoy, King Duan became blind in Shangshu Province.

In addition, Wannian County magistrate was dismissed from office and exiled, and Jingzhao Shaoyin was also forced to join the ranks of envoys sent to the grassland. During this period, less than half of King Duan's efforts in the court were in vain. There is no doubt that, In this struggle, King Duan was the undoubted loser.

In Prince Duan's Mansion, Prince Duan, who had suffered heavy losses, acted very calmly.

Tang Qi sat opposite him and said, "I just went to the palace, and the empress said that your majesty has already established an edict to establish the crown prince, and it will be promulgated in a few days."

The prince is the crown prince of a country. His role is not only to succeed the emperor after the emperor abdicates or dies. When the emperor is unable to handle the government for some reason, the prince has the power to manage the affairs on his behalf.

Once the edict establishing the crown prince is promulgated and the enthronement ceremony is completed, King Duan can officially set foot in the East Palace and act as the official agent of the government. At that time, he will exercise the power of the emperor. Let alone a Jing Zhaoyin, even if he wants to dismiss the prime minister, No one can stop it.

There is a difference between the king and his ministers. In front of the king, the ministers will always be the ministers.

A trace of cruelty appeared on Prince Duan's face, and he said, "I'll let you be proud for a few more days..."

His Majesty did not deliberately conceal the fact that he was about to appoint Prince Duan as the crown prince, and it soon became known to everyone in the capital.

King Duan was full of misdeeds, and his impression in the hearts of the people was extremely bad, but only His Majesty could decide who to appoint as the crown prince.

They could only sigh for Right Prime Minister Tang Ning. He had made great contributions to Chen Guoli. Even if he split the earth and became the king, people would not think it was too much. However, he had an irreconcilable conflict with the next emperor, and he was destined not to have too much trouble. Good ending.

After the news of the crown prince's appointment came out, the chaos in Beijing not only failed to stabilize, but became increasingly chaotic.

The two prime ministers did not respond to this, but the officials of King Duan's line were very proud. However, those officials who were expelled from the capital by Tang Xiang had already left the capital before King Duan came to power. In their hearts, How it feels, I don’t know...

At the same time, some things that happened in the Sixteenth Guards also gave off a sense of uneasiness.

The establishment of a crown prince was a national event, and the Sixteen Guards had the responsibility of guarding the capital, so they all became nervous. Among them, General Xiao Jue of the Ximen Guards, who was uncharacteristically stationed at the Ximen Guards, was even more strange.

Since the rebellion of the left and right Ximen guards, His Majesty has combined the left and right Ximen guards into one guard, with Xiao Jue as the general. However, during this period of time, General Xiao was newly married and was immersed in the gentle countryside and had no time to care about the Ximen guards. , resulting in the fact that although the Ximen Guards are imperial guards, the interior is like a piece of loose sand...

I don’t know what he was doing this time. When his beloved son was about to be a hundred days old, he suddenly and forcefully entered the Ximen Guards and intervened in the affairs of the guards. First, he used thunderous means to eliminate several generals who were disobedient to discipline in the guards, and then personally appointed several generals. A close confidant, the military discipline was rectified, and the appearance of Ximen Guard suddenly took on a new look...

With this series of actions, everyone finally began to realize that Ximen Guard General Xiao Jue was no longer the cynical Young Master Xiao.

Some generals who were dissatisfied wrote to the Ministry of War, but nothing happened...

It was when the chaos in the capital intensified that Tang Ning saw Wei Jian's long-lost old face.

After not seeing him for a long time, Wei Jian looked at him, sighed, and said slowly: "Master Tang, Your Majesty has summoned..."
