The dinner table was particularly quiet today. Zhong Yi and Su Ru had a silent meal. Zhong Mingli was drinking alone. Halfway through the meal, Chen Yuxian finally couldn't help asking: Ning'er, what was said outside, is the rumors about you and the Tang family... true?
Tang Ning put down his chopsticks and nodded: It's true
Silence began to begin at the dinner table. After a moment, Chen Yuxian looked at him and said: No matter what decision you make, we will support you.
Tang Ning smiled, raised his head and said: This is my home, I only have this one.
Although God has inexplicably sent him to this world, he has not treated him poorly in some aspects.
Tang Ning is a person who knows how to be content. He is not ambitious and has no endless desires. If he can be safe and stable for a lifetime, he will be fine if he doesn't do it.
But this identity is still beneficial. After this time, there is no possibility of reconciliation with the Tang family. He is not arrogant yet, thinking that he can compete with the Tang family with just a hand, with his own hands.
Two days will be the Qionglin Banquet. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be about three months of vacation in the future. Then I will go to the Hanlin Academy to take up a job.
As the second in the first class, Xiao Jue should be in the Hanlin Academy like him, but yesterday he heard from him that he should still be a martial arts expert, but his position can be higher.
Congratulations Li Tianlan walked in from outside and sat down opposite him
Tang Ning looked at her and said: Congratulations to you too
Li Tianlan congratulated him on the high school top scorer, and he congratulated the Chu envoy on his mission to achieve his goal. After this time, the momentum of the alliance between Chen and Chu was already unstoppable.
He hasn't seen Li Tianlan in the past two days. I think she should be very busy. Chen's attitude towards Chu changed by 180 degrees in a short period of time. In the past two days, not only were Chen's court officials busy, but Chu's envoys were actually even busier.
Li Tianlan shook his head slightly and said: Congratulations now, it's too early. Chen State just agreed to form an alliance, but the alliance requires conditions. If the conditions offered by Chu State cannot satisfy them, I don't know when it will be discussed.
Things on the grassland are already in full swing. The two countries actually have to negotiate conditions before sending troops. This seems a bit stupid, but it is also a fact. No one is willing to do something without benefits.
Tang Ning thought about it and said: Actually, there is no need to rush to form an alliance.
Li Tianlan looked at him, Tang Ning looked at her and asked: Which is the second largest part of Sushen now?
After the Wanyan tribe defeated the Heihan tribe, the Jiagu tribe became the second largest part of Sushen. The Wanyan tribe rose rapidly, and the Jiagu tribe also noticed the threat and joined forces with more than a dozen tribes around. Now it has been stalemate with the Wanyan tribe for a long time.
Tang Ning asked again: Where is the third largest part?
The Shuhu Division is far away from these two parts. Wanyan Division needs to annex the Jiagu Division first before they can meet them.
Tang Ning looked at her and asked: Do you think the Jiagu tribe can beat Wanyan tribe?
Li Tianlan thought for a while and said: The overall strength of Wanyan's ministry is stronger than that of Jiagu's ministry, and there are abundant supplies. If they are given some time to continue to grow, the Jiagu's ministry will be destroyed by two years at the latest.
Tang Ning was about to speak when a figure ran in from outside.
King Run ran in from outside and said happily: Congratulations to you for winning the No. 1 Ah. My father said that you will serve in the Hanlin Academy in the future. So can I see you from time to time?
Tang Ning looked at him, thought for a while and asked: Your Highness Run Wang... is he here to thank me again?
I am here to congratulate you, the top scorer in high school. Runwang looked at him and said: By the way, let me ask again, what food are you having today?
Tang Ning pointed to the side and said: Let’s talk about what to eat for a while. Your Highness will play there for a while.
Runwang ran over to play flying chess alone. Tang Ning then looked at Li Tianlan and asked: Where did we just talk about it?
Wanyan's tribe is most of Sushen's tribe, with sufficient supplies and often plunders the Chen-Chu border. He robbed a lot of weapons and supplies from the Chen-Chu countries. With their expansion speed, Jiagu and Shuhu departments supported for up to two years.
Tang Ning nodded, looked at her and said: Helping the poor and helping the poor is a traditional virtue. Jiagu and Shuhu lack supplies. We can sell them supplies. If we lack weapons, we can sell them weapons. If we lack weapons, we can sell them whatever they lack.
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment before asking: What do you mean, let Sushenren deal with Sushenren by himself?
Tang Ning asked back: Haven’t they always deal with their own people?
Li Tianlan looked at him, his lips slightly pursed
The reason why Sushen people are not strong is that they are between tribes and tribes, just like between countries. In order to compete for resources, they have been fighting for a hundred years. It is simply that in the past two years, the Wanyan tribe has risen too fast and other tribes cannot resist. In fact, there is not a harmonious relationship between them.
If the Jiagu tribe and the Shuhu tribe become stronger, the Wanyan tribe's rise will be curbed, and there will be a shortage of supplies on the grassland, but the Chu state's real estate is abundant and can provide the food they need...
Even weapons
The grassland is rich in cattle and sheep, and their war horses are also envied by the Chen and Chu countries for a long time. If it were normal, the Sushen tribes would not use these as exchanges, but now is different from the past. If it were the Jiagu and Shuhu tribes, or if those small tribes were not able to adapt, they would sooner or later be enfeoffed by the Wanyan tribe, which is not what they hoped to see.
Supporting these two parts can not only stop Wanyan's footsteps, but also form a check and balance on the grassland, but also benefit from it. In this way, the alliance between Chen and Chu does not seem to be so urgent.
This can greatly reduce the bargaining chips offered by Chen State, allowing Chu State to pay a lot less
Before this, they only thought about the threat from Sushen people to Chu, and they only wanted to form an alliance with Chen to fight against the enemy, but they did not expect that there was such a way to have the best of both worlds...
She glanced at Tang Ning deeply, stood up, and said: I want to go back first
Tang Ning knew that she had a lot of things to be busy every day, so she waved her hand and said: Go ahead
She has the best time to leave now. Tang Yaoyao and Xiaoyi and Xiaoru have gone out. When she comes back and sees Li Tianlan, maybe something will happen.
After Li Tianlan left, Runwang ran over from the side and said: You are so awesome, you can actually pass the top scorer. They said it is difficult to get the top scorer!
He looked at Tang Ning and said with anticipation: Can I learn from you?
Tang Ning heard Fang Hong mention that Wang Runwang has never liked studying since he was a child, and His Majesty turned a blind eye to this. Could it be that this little fat man was stimulated by himself?
Tang Ning looked at him and asked: What are you going to learn?
Learn to cook!
……
A palace in the palace, Wei Jian handed over a memorial and said: Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the Ministry of Rites. The Qionglin Banquet has begun to be arranged.
Emperor Chen opened it and looked at it, put it down, picked up a piece of pastry from the plate, as if he had remembered something, and asked: Why didn’t Yuan'er come here today?
Wei Jian smiled and said: Did Your Majesty forget? His Majesty only agreed to His Highness Run yesterday to ask him to leave the palace to find the top scholar.
It's strange, why does Yuan'er like him so much? Chen Huang thought about it and shook his head and said: Forget it, he has a big talent, so it's not bad to let Yuan'er learn more with him.
A little eunuch walked in and bowed and said: Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang asked for a meeting
Chen Huang nodded and said: Xuan
A moment later, he looked at the old man walking into the hall and asked: What is the Prime Minister going to report?
Prime Minister Wang bowed and said: Your Majesty, the good conditions for alliance that were about to be discussed yesterday, and the envoy of Chu suddenly said that he would discuss again...
What? Chen Huang stood up, looked at him, and asked: Didn’t they beg for an alliance? Why did they regret it again?
Prime Minister Wang thought for a while and said: The old minister felt that they seemed... less anxious to form an alliance.
Tang Ning put down his chopsticks and nodded: It's true
Silence began to begin at the dinner table. After a moment, Chen Yuxian looked at him and said: No matter what decision you make, we will support you.
