After the Tang family's banquet, the guests dispersed, and only the two Tang brothers were left in the hall.
Among the three brothers of the Tang family, Tang Jing never cared about family affairs and never participated in discussions. He rarely even attended banquets on weekdays. Only Tang Huai and Tang Qi appeared in front of others.
When the servant of the Tang family came in to clean up the soup, Tang Qi waved his hand and said: You guys go down first, come in and clean up later.
yes
Hearing this, the two servants immediately withdrew respectfully.
Tang Qi sat down opposite Tang Huai. Thinking of the thrilling days, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: I didn’t expect that I could beat King Kang in the end this time. Without Mr. Xu, King Kang would be no longer worth worrying.
Win? Tang Huai raised his eyes and asked: Did we really win?
Tang Qi looked at him and said: Although he lost a minister Liu, he had a brother in the Ministry of Rites, and an extra minister would not be of great help. As for the rest, it would be harmless if he lost it. You must know that King Kang also suffered a lot this time.
What we have lost is more than the Minister of Rites
Tang Huai looked at him and said: And your Dongtai clan, Han Ming's minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites were completely cleaned up... After fighting with King Kang for so long, we didn't win, and King Kang also suffered heavy losses. So who won?
Tang Qi opened his mouth and looked back at the Tang family in the past two years, and suddenly felt speechless.
In the past two years, the Tang family and King Kang fought to the death. Although they did hit King Kang's power, the Tang family also suffered huge losses, which are immeasurable and irreversible. Neither King Kang nor King Duan could win or lose in this war, and they could only be considered a loss-making loss.
No need to stare at King Kang anymore. Tang Huai stood up and said: Let Mr. Xu return to King Kang's mansion. His role there is much greater than that here.
The most trusted strategist is someone else's undercover agent. King Kang has no choice but to perish. Tang Qi looked at Tang Huai and asked: Can the person surnamed Xu completely trust? Although this person is very smart, I always feel it is difficult to control him. There seems to be any other secrets on him.
It is also necessary for this kind of person to be arrogant. Tang Huai looked out the window and said: As for whether he can trust it, he has to prove it himself.
He paused and said: Compared to King Kang, the capital has another problem, which is getting bigger and bigger...
Tang Qi and Tang Huai have the same feeling about this trouble
It was originally just an ant that the Tang family could kill at will, but because of their repeated negligence, it became increasingly powerful. Now, he has gained a firm foothold in the capital and has become a giant that no one can ignore.
Two Tang families appeared in the capital, which was a great irony and shame for them.
If the thorn is in the throat
……
It's another New Year's Day, and this year's home is more lively than in previous years. Tang Ning hopes that this kind of lively will continue every year and will be more prosperous every year.
In this year, too many happy events happened at home. In addition to the rising official positions of him and his father-in-law, there are two more hostesses in the family, so they can only be announced for the time being.
The agreement with Lanlan will be two and a half years, which means that from now on, at most, they will be able to reunite in two years.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was not a happy one, mainly because Zhao Man was recalled to the palace. Around the New Year Festival, the royal family also had many ritual festivals, and it would take a few days before she could leave the palace.
Su Mèi accompanied her mother like last year. After a while, Tang Shui sneaked out of the house quietly. Perhaps because she was picked up by her mother, Tang Ning always felt that she was not so close to the Tang family.
General Zhonglang is already a senior general of the Sixteen Guards. After becoming General Zhonglang of Zuo Xiaogu, he never had any reason not to participate in the grand dynasty meeting.
The Great Court is boring, and officials from all over the country have to report their duties for nearly an hour. During this process, except for a few senior veterans in the court who are in status and who are older, they are given seats, everyone else has to stand all the time.
This was just a piece of cake for Tang Ning, but most of the officials in the court limped when they walked out of the court.
The days afterwards became bored again. The women at home either went to temple fairs or went shopping, and even Xiaoxiao was taken away. Tang Ning was idle and was ready to go to Xiao Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.
He has nothing to do with others in the capital, but the Xiao Mansion is different
Not to mention his relationship with Xiao Jue, just talking about Xiao’s husband, the identity of General Zuo Xiaowei, he had to go this time.
Tang Ning walked into the hall and bowed and said: The last general will meet with the old general Xiao.
General Xiao waved his hand and said: There is nothing here.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, then saluted again: I have seen Mr. Xiao
It's here, what gifts do you have? Mr. Xiao waved to the servant beside him and said: Put them all away
I have lived my whole life, you are the youngest general I have ever met
Mr. Xiao looked at him and said: When the boy from the Ling family was the General of the Left Yugu, he would be two years older than you.
Tang Ning bowed: It's all your Majesty's love
Sixteen Guards have indeed been a bit distorted in recent years
Mr. Xiao took a sip of tea and said: Since Your Majesty has handed you Zuo Xiaowei, just do it well. It is best to make a comeback and show us old guys.
As soon as Mr. Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Jue walked in from outside the door, looked at Tang Ning, and said in surprise: Why are you here in my house?
Mr. Xiao looked at him and said: You young people have something to talk about. Your own friends, please entertain yourself. I will go out for a walk...
After Mr. Xiao left, Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning and asked: Have you heard that King Kang was imprisoned by His Majesty for three months. I heard that he was not summoned to the palace on New Year's Eve. All his powerful people were taken away from their titles...
Tang Ning nodded and said: I heard it
King Kang is really a model of dying this time. He was playing a good handful of cards in his hand and just hitting Chen Huang's gun. The lesson this time should be enough for him to learn intelligence.
Think about it carefully, King Kang is also very pity
Xiao Jue said, shook his head again, and said: Let’s not talk about this. This time, Xiaowan’s envoy came to Beijing and brought many Xiaowan’s beauties. Many powerful people in the capital bought them home, and they could not be concubines or maids. It was pleasing to the eye. Are you not interested?
Tang Ning shook his head and said: No...
He already has piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, radish, cabbage, and there is no need to buy another cantaloupe. Although he really wants to eat cantaloupe, for the sake of family harmony, it is better not to think about this.
The two wives suddenly had extra troubles last time, which was enough for him. If he bought another beauty from the Western Regions, even if Xiaoru Xiaoyi didn't mind, Tang Yaoyao wouldn't let him go.
As a nominal neighbor, she actually exercises the power of a big woman
What's more, if you want to see exotic customs, it's enough to see Tang Shui, so why bother to look far and far?
He looked at Xiao Jue and asked: Did you buy it?
I dare not
Xiao Jue shook his head and said: But I heard that Tang Jing bought one. This kid is about the same age as us and has not gotten married yet. I don’t know what he is thinking. Does he like this tone?
He thought about it and seemed to have discovered something, and said in shock: Tang Shui looks like a woman from the Western Regions. Do you think Tang Jing likes Tang Shui... It should be impossible. Tang Shui is still his sister no matter what. He can't be such a beast, but it may not be necessary. What if he is really such a beast...
Tang Ning looked behind him and asked casually: Do you don’t want to buy it or don’t dare to buy it?
Xiao Jue shook his head and said: I want to buy it, but it is too expensive. If I buy it, wouldn’t it reveal the fact that I had privately kept silver notes?
What to buy? A voice came from behind him
Western beauty Ah...
Xiao Jue answered and realized that something was wrong. He turned around and looked at Lu Ya who was walking over, and his face changed drastically.
It turns out that you like the beauty of the Western Regions...
He also hid a silver note...
Take care. Looking at Lu Ya who was approaching step by step, Tang Ning patted Xiao Jue on the shoulder and turned around and left.
……
Tang Mansion
Tang Qi sat on the chair, looked at Mr. Xu and said: After a while, I will feel wronged again.
Mr. Xu waved his hand and said: For the sake of Your Highness's great cause, what a grievance is this? There is no need to worry about King Kang.
He picked up the teacup and found that there was no tea in the cup, so he put it down again
A maid immediately walked up behind him and filled him with tea. During the process, she accidentally knocked over the teacup. The hot tea water spilled on Mr. Xu's clothes, and he immediately stood up.
Tang Qi's face darkened and he said coldly: How did you do it!
The maid spoke in a panic, but she spoke a strange language. Her facial features were also very distinct, with a high nose bridge, and she was very exotic. She was obviously not a Han woman.
Mr. Xu smiled and said: Lord Tang, don’t be angry, she did it unintentionally.
When he spoke, his eyes were on the Western Region maid, and he did not move away
Tang Qi has been in the court for many years and is very good at observing his expressions. Seeing this scene, he looked at Mr. Xu and said with a smile: If Mr. Xu likes it, I will give you this Western Region beauty. How about it?
Mr. Xu looked at him and smiled embarrassedly, but did not refuse, saying: Then thank you Lord Tang...
Among the three brothers of the Tang family, Tang Jing never cared about family affairs and never participated in discussions. He rarely even attended banquets on weekdays. Only Tang Huai and Tang Qi appeared in front of others.
