Guizhou was once the territory of Liang State. Since the fall of Liang State, Guizhou has been in a state of chaos.
Chen State is happy to see such chaos in Guizhou. After all, as a neighbor, Chen State does not want anyone to reunify Guizhou, because this may cause trouble for them.
After all, Guizhou is too close to Jiangnan, and because of its unique geographical advantages, it can attack and retreat or defend. If they have any thoughts about Jiangnan, many people in Chen Guo would not be able to sleep at night.
Therefore, over the years, Emperor Chen has arranged a large number of secret spies in Guizhou, monitoring their every move at all times
Half a year ago, they discovered the abnormal movements in Guizhou. At the same time, the secret spies arranged by Chen State in Guizhou also lost contact.
Without secret spies, the court lost the eyes to monitor Guizhou. During this period, Emperor Chen sent secret spies to the country three times, but after these secret spies entered Guizhou, no news came back.
Without thinking, you can know that something must have happened in Guizhou, something that Emperor Chen didn't want to happen
He has to ignore the safety of Jiangnan
Emperor Chen didn't know what happened in Guizhou, but Tang Ning knew it very well. For decades, there was no saint in Wan Gu Sect. This time, they made up their minds to select a saint no matter what. This is related to the belonging of Wan Gu Sect and the structure of Guizhou. It would be strange if the entire Guizhou Sect didn't boil.
Hearing Emperor Chen's words, Wang Xiang's expression became solemn and said: Your Majesty, although Guizhou does not belong to my Chen State, it is closely related to Jiangnan. The affairs of Guizhou cannot be ignored...
I know that Emperor Chen raised his eyebrows and said: All the secret spies in Guizhou I sent are elite among the secret spies. Even they are missing one by one. Who else can I send?
After Emperor Chen finished speaking, the hall fell into a long silence.
The situation in Guizhou is special, and it is not like the grassland or the Western Regions. You can directly send troops to suppress it. Moreover, it is not easy to send troops directly before you figure out what happened in Guizhou.
Now that the grassland has just been pacified, the Western Regions are not stable yet, it is impossible for Chen State to be distracted from sending troops to Guizhou
However, it is obviously not that easy to figure out what happened in Guizhou
The people from the Secret Spies Division were all elites selected from the guards, and the ones sent by His Majesty were even more elites. They could not complete this task, who else could complete it?
Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Guizhou
The hall was silent for a moment, and suddenly a sound rang out
Tang Ning took two steps forward and spoke again when everyone was surprised: If there is any change in Guizhou, it will immediately endanger Jiangnan. I am willing to go to Guizhou to investigate. Please be kind to your Majesty.
Inappropriate! Before Emperor Chen could speak, Wang Xiang waved his hand and said firmly: Lord Tang is the right prime minister, how can he take such a strange risk?
Lord Tang must not! Qian Shuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, spoke immediately and said: If Lord Tang makes any mistakes, it will be the losses of the entire court and the entire Chen State...
……
After Wang Xiang and the Minister of Revenue spoke, the ministers in the hall responded one after another. Emperor Chen glanced at him and said: All my beloved ministers are right. As the right prime minister, you have a heavy responsibility and you cannot take risks. You don’t need to mention this matter again...
Hearing this, Tang Ning retreated silently again
He had originally planned that if Su Mèi had no news, he would go to Qiandi to find her after spending the New Year with them.
The reason why he stood up at this moment was because he knew that they had done the matter in Guizhou. Emperor Chen sent someone else, so how could he feel at ease with him in person?
Tang Ning was not worried because he knew that Chen Huang would come to him sooner or later.
After all, there was no discussion on the matter in Guizhou. Emperor Chen could only order everyone to retreat first.
After the last person left the hall, he rubbed his eyebrows and showed a tangled look on his face.
After the first time the secret spies sent to Guizhou disappeared, the second time he sent was the elite of the secret spies, and the third time he sent a top secret spy.
However, their results were the same, which left him without anyone to send, and even the top secret spies were trapped in Guizhou. Can you still count on officials in the court?
Of course, there is one other person
Over the years, the things he gave to Tang Ning, except for escorting the princess and pro-Chu State, he did everything very beautifully, which saved him a lot of trouble.
He didn't want to investigate the marriage and didn't want to care about it. There was no such thing as a minister who could make him rest assured.
The candidate who went to Guizhou to investigate was naturally Tang Ning, and the one he felt most comfortable with was also Tang Ning.
But today, Tang Ning is already the right prime minister of the current dynasty. If the prime minister of a country takes risks and acts as a secret spy, where can he put his face as the emperor?
But if Tang Ning doesn't go, who else can he choose?
Jiangnan is Chen's granary, he doesn't want Jiangnan to be in trouble again. Chen finally settled down, and he will never tolerate any mistakes in the country.
He was walking in the hall, his face changing. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
……
Tang Ning left the imperial study room and did not return to the Shangshu Province, but stood in front of the square in front of the imperial study room.
There is a bridge in front of the square, where Zhao Yuan and a few little girls are playing
Maybe it was because Grand Secretary Zhang was very strict with him. Over the past few days, Zhao Yuan has become thinner and thinner. Although his figure is not well-proportioned, he is not as fat as before.
King Huai came over from behind and saw him standing there. He stopped and asked: Lord Tang wouldn't go back to the Secretary of State?
Don't worry, Tang Ning looked forward and asked casually: What does Your Highness think of King Run?
King Huai looked at Zhao Yuan and said: Yuan'er is talented, willing to endure hardships and has filial piety. These are all very rare.
He looked at Zhao Yuan on the bridge and said: When we were young, we didn't like to listen to the Grand Secretary's lectures, and we especially hated calculating. Yuan'er studied for several hours a day and played with abacus, which was much better than this king back then.
As soon as King Huai finished speaking, Zhao Yuan placed the abacus on the ground on the stone bridge, stepped on the abacus and slid down the bridge slope...
King Huai stared at this scene in a daze, coughing lightly, his face a little unnatural
He withdrew his eyes from the front and said: It is rare to be able to always maintain a childlike heart...
Of course, it is good to keep your childlike heart all the time, but these things are not needed by the emperor.
Although Tang Ning has been paving the way for Zhao Yuan, if you put aside your personal emotions and rationally look at it, Zhao Yuan is not suitable for that supreme position
He wanted to be the emperor just because he wanted to marry his Zhang sister, Wang sister, and Bai sister, and his motive was not pure.
Motivation is very important when doing something. If even the motivation is wrong, how can he ensure that he can do it well?
In Tang Ning's opinion, the most suitable position is King Huai.
Of course, suitability does not necessarily mean that Tang Ning supports him. Zhao Yuan’s road has been paved into a smooth road by these people, and no one can stop him from walking.
King Huai stopped continuing this topic, looked at him and asked: What are Lord Tang waiting for?
Tang Ning didn't answer, turned around and saw Wei Jian coming from behind.
Wei Jian walked to him, smiled and said: Lord Tang, Your Majesty summoned him...
