Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Tang Duo was sitting in the study at this moment, his brows tightly furrowed.

Those thick eyebrows were like two heavy dark clouds, as if they would come down at any time.

He lowered his voice slightly, his tone solemn.

“Tsk, it seems that this matter has touched the sensitive nerves of certain forces in the capital.

The situation behind this is probably a mess, very complicated and intricate."

As he spoke, Tang Duo subconsciously stroked the warm jade ring in his hand, his eyes revealing experience and depth.

He seemed to be trying to see through the thick fog, the truth hidden behind it.

"What kind of deep meaning is hidden behind this, and how many forces will be involved?"

Wang Chongli, standing aside, also nodded worriedly.

The sadness on his face seemed like a mark carved by time that could never be erased.

Wang Chongli could not help but sigh, "Alas, which force is stirring up trouble behind this, and why did they only tip us off?
Is there something fishy going on here?"

Wang Chongli was born in a poor peasant family. Although he was well-read in the books of sages, his speech still retained a bit of simplicity and straightforwardness.

Unlike Tang Duo, who is tactful and reserved, he says what he thinks.

The two thought hard but still couldn't figure it out.

I can only wait in anxiety for more news.

In fact, a few days ago, Tang Duo vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

It was as if there were pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark, watching their every move.

Today, the two of them were discussing something. Tang Duo raised his eyes inadvertently and saw a black shadow flash past the window like a ghost.

His heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm, as if he had seen nothing.

Then Tang Duo continued to talk with Wang Chongli. After Wang Chongli paused for a moment, Tang Duo said casually, "Recently, the rumors seem to be getting more and more intense."

When Wang Chongli heard this, his heart skipped a beat and an ominous premonition surged into his mind like a tide.

It was as if a storm was brewing and was about to sweep in mercilessly.

At this moment, a rapid knock on the door sounded like thunder.

"Bang... bang... bang", the sound severely hit their already tense nerves.

Tang Duo and Wang Chongli felt a tightness in their hearts, and Wang Chongli hurriedly got up to open the door.

I saw a gloomy-faced man in black standing at the door. He was agile and alert like a cheetah, and exuded a murderous aura.

The man in black flashed into the room and quickly lowered his voice.

He said in a hurried and nervous tone: "My lords, something terrible is happening!

Just as we got the confirmed news, the capital has already noticed the matter of the Shanxi army and horses.

Now a secret order has been issued, requiring a thorough investigation of the matter.

It also specifically mentioned that it focused on the military deployment of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin in Shanxi."

Upon hearing the news, Tang Duo's face turned pale as ice in an instant, and the teacup in his hand almost slipped.

He tried hard to hold his body steady, and said in his heart: "This is a big trouble!
If I can’t deal with it properly, all my years of hard work will be wasted, and my career, my life and my family will be in jeopardy!”

However, Tang Duo had been in the officialdom for many years and had seen many ups and downs, so he quickly forced himself to calm down.

There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "Hmph, don't panic, the more times like this, the more you need to stay calm.

We need to find out the details of the secret order from the capital before we can make any plans.

If we are not careful in this situation and are caught by the Imperial Guards, we will all be in trouble.

Maybe this secret order is from the Jinyiwei, who are trying to suppress the forces of the Hidden Dragon Guard and Prince Jin. We have to be on guard!

The situation in the court is changing rapidly now. If you take a wrong step, you will lose everything.

We have to come up with a comprehensive plan that can both respond to the orders from the capital and protect ourselves as much as possible. "Tang Duo is indeed a veteran in the officialdom. Even in such a critical situation, he still speaks clearly and uses precise words, revealing a confidence in controlling the overall situation.

When Wang Chongli heard what Tang Duo said, he felt worried and angry.

He couldn't help but say, "Sir, you usually suppress me a lot, but Chongli has tolerated it all.

But this time, the matter of the Shanxi army and horses concerns the lives of countless soldiers and civilians.

Everything I said is true and has been verified repeatedly.

But you just keep protecting Prince Jin. Haven't you ever thought about the common people?
Over the years, I have been very cautious in officialdom and worked hard for the people, but what have I gained?
Every time you delay important matters for the benefit of those powerful people.

Take the previous project that benefits the people, and the issue of streamlining government procedures.

Which one is not for the good of the people, but what is the result?

Even with such a big incident, you are still the same as always. Do you really care about the people?"

Wang Chongli was emotional and his words were sharp. Years of resentment poured out like a flood.

Tang Duo frowned when he heard this and interrupted Wang Chongli.

He said in a deep voice: “Chongli, don’t be impulsive.

I am not defending Prince Jin, but this matter is very complicated and far from being as simple as it seems.

The officialdom is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

We need to take a long-term view to find a way out.

Don’t let your momentary anger ruin important things.”

Tang Duo tried to comfort Wang Chongli with calm words, while also emphasizing the complexity of the matter and reminding him not to act rashly.

Wang Chongli gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Sir, what do you think we should do?"

Although he was still dissatisfied at this moment, he also understood that this was not the time to act on impulse, and could only obey Tang Duo's arrangements for the time being.

Tang Duo's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The most urgent task is to find out the specific content of the secret order from the capital and see if there is any room for maneuver.

At the same time, we must also pay close attention to the movements of King Jin and find out his attitude and response strategies.

In addition, the investigation into this matter can no longer be as blatant as before.

It needs to be done secretly to avoid alerting the enemy.

Chongli, you still have some connections in the military, try to get more information from them.

But you must be careful and not reveal any flaws. "

Tang Duo arranged the tasks in an orderly manner, and every word he said revealed his shrewdness.

Wang Chongli nodded slightly and said, "I understand.

However, this matter is extremely risky. If you are not careful, you may end up in fatal disaster.

I hope you can work together with me to overcome this difficult time."

Wang Chongli was well aware that this matter was fraught with dangers, and his words showed his concern for his own safety as well as his desire to cooperate with Tang Duo.

Tang Duo patted Wang Chongli on the shoulder and said, "You and I are in the same boat now, so we should help each other.

As long as we act with caution, we can avoid danger."

Although he said this, Tang Duo was secretly thinking in his heart: How can he maintain his position in this storm while cleverly avoiding possible dangers.

As for Wang Chongli, he was just a chess piece in his game.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the window, and it seemed that several people were running.

Tang Duo's face changed, and he made a quick decision. (End of this chapter)
