According to Tang Ning's plan, while he went to Guizhou to pick up Su Mèi, several other wives went to Chu State and met with Li Tianlan.
In this way, he had no worries in the capital. He just needed to come back and pick up Zhao Man, and from then on he would be free from being restrained by Chen State. He would go wherever he wanted to go.
But after he returned to the capital, he saw that they were still at home.
Zhong Yi sighed and said: After my husband left the capital, a lot of things happened. I will explain it to you one by one.
Tang Ning shook his head and said: I want to go to the palace now. When I come back from the palace, you can tell me slowly.
He has been in the distant Guizhou area these days, and he really doesn't know what happened in the capital. Judging from Zhong Yi's expression, there have been many things happening in the capital in the past few months. I'm afraid I can't finish it in a while.
It would be better for him to go to the palace to report the incident. The news in Guizhou is confidential. Unlike the two times in Jiangnan and grassland, Tang Ning did not send any news back. Emperor Chen still doesn't know what happened there.
If he knew that Tang Ning would not report after returning to Beijing, he would probably have some unnecessary trouble.
Zhong Yi looked at him and asked: Is your Majesty going to see Your Majesty when you enter the palace?
Tang Ning nodded and said: I want to reply to His Majesty first
Zhong Yi shook his head gently and said: Even if my husband enters the palace, he will never see His Majesty.
Tang Ning said in surprise: Why?
Zhong Yi said: Your Majesty, he...
Tang Ning's heart skipped a beat and asked: Is he dead?
Your Majesty hasn't died yet
Zhong Yi looked at him helplessly and said: But in the past few months, Your Majesty has been seriously ill. Two months ago, he was bedridden. The morning court has not been held for a long time. All matters in the court will be handled by the Secretariat...
Tang Ning frowned slightly. Emperor Chen was in good health, which was something he had when he left Beijing.
At that time, he thought that Emperor Chen fell ill because King Kang rebelled and became angry. He could get better after a few days of cultivation. However, he did not expect that in the past few months he left, Emperor Chen's illness became more serious. Judging from Zhong Yi's description, it was obvious that it was not long before he died.
Tang Ning suddenly thought of something, looked at her, and asked: Who is the Shangshu Province in the past few months, is Wang Xiang?
Zhong Yi shook his head and said: Wang Xiang is sick at home and has been recuperating in the mansion for several months.
Tang Ning asked again: Is that King Huai?
Zhong Yi continued to shake his head and said for a long time: It's King Duan
……
Tang Ning finally realized that in just a few months after he left Beijing, the capital had turned upside down.
Chen Huang's illness did not recover from a few days of cultivation as he expected, but it quickly worsened within a month after he left Beijing. His morning court started every three days, once every five days, or once every ten days, and finally became indefinitely put on hold.
At the beginning, after Wang Xiang fell ill, the Shangshu Province was responsible for King Huai, and his daily affairs were also handled by him.
However, not long after, Emperor Chen began to gradually let King Duan contact the core power. After King Duan took over the Shangshu Province, it took only half a month to squeeze King Huai out.
The King of King Huai is not here, and King Huai is the absolute master of the Shangshu Province. King Duan can squeeze out King Huai in such a short time. Tang Ning doesn't believe it. There is no Emperor Chen behind his back.
It is obvious that even if King Duan is a waste, his status is higher than King Huai in the eyes of Emperor Chen. When he was seriously ill and needed to consider the ownership of the throne, King Duan was still ahead of King Huai.
This is not what a wise and wise emperor would do, nor does it look like the style of Emperor Chen. The only explanation is that more than 20 years ago, the history of the royal family was covered with some unknown things.
The change in the situation in the capital seems to be sudden, but after thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable.
If Emperor Chen was free from illness and disaster, he could live for more than ten or twenty years. There is no doubt that King Run Zhao Yuan was his best choice for passing the throne.
However, he suddenly became seriously ill and did not have enough time to wait for Zhao Yuan to grow up. When an adult prince was in Beijing, he made an ignorant young child the emperor. This was not in line with etiquette and law, nor was it logical.
It just so happened that during this period, Duan Wang An stayed quietly in the mansion and did nothing. This kind of calmness is a great advantage in Emperor Chen's eyes.
Being an emperor does not require talent and martial arts. As long as he sits in that high position, the people below will do everything for him. What he is afraid of is that he has no talent and likes to point fingers. In this way, no matter how powerful a country is, it will sooner or later be defeated by him.
Tang Ning didn't know how many psychological choices Chen Huang had made during this period, but what is certain is that no matter what the process was, the balance in his heart eventually turned to Duan Wang.
Tang Ning looked at Zhong Yi and asked: You didn't leave Chen State, it's because of King Duan.
Zhong Yi nodded and said guiltily: It’s all my fault. If I ask them to hurry up, I can go to Chu before King Duan sent someone to stop us...
Tang Ning hugged her in her arms, patted her shoulder gently, and said: It's okay, it's not your fault.
This time they left the capital, it was originally a kind of entertainment. If they were just rushing to the road, they would attract others' attention.
Emperor Chen suddenly became seriously ill, and King Duan was able to turn over, which was indeed beyond his expectations, which led to his original plan being disrupted.
But this is nothing big. Even if the salted fish turns over, it is still a salted fish.
The Fang family and Concubine Fang Shu would not watch King Duan sit in that position. They have never expressed too urgent thoughts about the throne, but because Zhao Yuan is too young, he can still wait until Emperor Chen takes the initiative to pass the throne to him.
This is the result, and the premise is
The premise of the Fang family, Concubine Fang, and the forces behind them are dormant and forbearing is that Emperor Chen will eventually pass the throne to Zhao Yuan. If Emperor Chen himself goes off topic, then they will inevitably take some unharmonious measures.
Tang Ning comforted Zhong Yi and said: No matter what, I will go to the palace first, you can wait for me at home...
Zhong Yi nodded, then noticed the girl in a cross-dress standing behind Tang Ning. She looked at her and asked: This sister is...
A Duo hurriedly walked forward and said: My name is A Duo, I have met my wife...
Tang Ning looked at Su mèi and said: Tell them what happened in Guizhou slowly...
When Tang Ning changed her clothes and left the Tang family, A Duo was already familiar with them. Her sisters and sisters called each other, she was cheerful and integrated faster than Tang Ning thought.
……
Imperial Palace, somewhere
After Tang Ning entered the palace, he asked a eunuch to inform him. However, he had been sitting in this side hall for half an hour and still had not been summoned.
Soon, a palace maid walked in slowly, bowed to Tang Ning, and said: Have you seen the right minister
Tang Ning looked at her and asked: What does Your Majesty say?
The palace maid said: Your Majesty is not feeling well. He has been sleeping for a long time today and has not woken up yet. I am afraid he can't wake up today. The Right Prime Minister might as well come back tomorrow...
Tang Ning stood up, looked at the screen on the side of the hall, quickly retracted his gaze and said: Then I will come back again after I choose a date.
He walked slowly out of the hall, and soon after, a figure came out from behind the screen
Concubine Tang Hui looked outside the hall, her face was slightly gloomy, and she said in a low voice: He is back...
In this way, he had no worries in the capital. He just needed to come back and pick up Zhao Man, and from then on he would be free from being restrained by Chen State. He would go wherever he wanted to go.
But after he returned to the capital, he saw that they were still at home.
