Your husband is too motivated

Chapter 35

Mr. Tang has always believed that it is better to act first, and everything should be prepared early, so after the morning court, he and Mr. Wen asked Emperor Yan to see him. The Queen's things can't be hidden from Emperor Yan, especially when Concubine Xi After two consecutive miscarriages, Emperor Yan no longer trusted others, and the power of the harem was also taken into his hands.

Therefore, Emperor Yan knew all the little actions of the queen, but Emperor Yan did not intervene when they did not touch his bottom line, but Concubine Xi and the six princes were strictly protected by Emperor Yan. Those people hated Concubine Xi, mother and son to the bottom of their hearts.

Emperor Yan still attached great importance to Mr. Tang and Mr. Wen. After the two saluted, he gave a seat and served tea, saying, "This year's new tea is not bad, and the two teachers will also try it."

Old Master Tang said with a face full of shame, "This old minister has no face." Then he got up and knelt down again. Although Old Man Wen didn't say much, he also knelt down.

Emperor Yan quickly came down to support them and said, "What's wrong with the two teachers? Please get up quickly."

Mr. Tang and Mr. Wen also took advantage of the trend. There must be a degree in everything. If you knelt down again, it would feel like forcing Emperor Yan. It's holy."

Emperor Yan asked, "What's going on?"

Mr. Tang said, "It's also my boy. If he can't learn martial arts, he will go home and join the army when he heard about Qingheguan in the academy. Isn't this just adding to the chaos? The old minister naturally disagrees." I explained it clearly, "But the grandson is too old to control, so the veteran had to agree with him to go to Qinghe Pass, thinking that it would be good for him to learn more."

Emperor Yan didn't know about Tang Cheng's departure from the capital yet, so he heard it and said, "Why didn't the teacher mention it to me, it would be safer to let him go with the team delivering the luggage."

Mr. Tang said, "That is a serious matter, and it must not be delayed. The grandson of the old minister will let him break through by himself. If he succeeds, he will serve His Majesty the best. If he fails, let him die outside."

Emperor Yan was a little helpless when he heard the words, Mr. Tang was very good in knowledge and everything, but his temper was too stubborn. If it was a different person, he would have promoted the juniors in the family based on his relationship, but Mr. Tang made all the juniors Relying on his own ability to become an official, but also because of this, Emperor Yan especially trusted Mr. Tang.

Mr. Wen glared at Mr. Tang, and he didn't get to the point after talking for a long time, so Mr. Wen pushed Mr. Tang aside, and told about Tang Cheng and Wen Chenxin, "My Wen family's face can be embarrassing for them. Enter, it's at the gate of the Tang Mansion..."

This kind of thing can't be hidden at all, because they didn't mean to avoid people, so they can't hide it from others. These things can't be faked. Mr. Tang stroked his beard and said, "I didn't know they were so disrespectful, they exchanged tokens in public, and only found out about the empress the next day..." Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yan already understood.

The anger that Emperor Yan was full of at this time was not directed at the Tang and Wen families, but at the empress. Although the selection of concubines for the princes was done in thousands of ways, they were all done in secret to get the right list out. It was left to Emperor Yan to make the final decision, and the queen didn't know what to think, so she invited all the girls directly, and then hinted to everyone, implying to choose from these girls.

Even Emperor Yan himself had never done this before choosing concubines. It would be fine if the queen only chose those with mediocre family backgrounds, but the queen has a high vision and picks all the concubines with excellent family backgrounds. To marry the third prince, at this time, for the sake of face and self-esteem, it is impossible for those aristocratic families to marry the girl to the third prince.

"Old ministers dare not hide it." Elder Tang and Elder Wen knelt down again to plead guilty. If they didn't hide it, they would have actually booked Wen Chenxin for the third prince in the end, and the royal family would be ashamed.

Emperor Yan said, "The two teachers are not to blame." He helped Mr. Tang and the others up again, "I already know."

Old Man Wen said, "The granddaughter of a veteran minister does not have such a blessing." Wen Chenxin was the last one left by the queen, and she was also the queen's favorite.

Emperor Yan gave a few more words of comfort, and specially asked someone to pack tea leaves for the two to take away.

As soon as Mr. Wen and Mr. Tang returned to the mansion, Emperor Yan’s rewards came down. Not only those in these two mansions, but also those who were invited to the palace by the empress two days ago all received their own rewards, and then they proposed marriage to the third prince. Well, the third concubine did not choose from the family, but chose the daughter of a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. This is already a slap in the face of the queen.

In fact, in the final analysis, this matter was able to go so smoothly, it was Mr. Tang and the others who had guessed Emperor Yan's intentions, which resulted in such a result.

In the study, Mr. Tang looked at his granddaughter and asked, "Do you understand? Why did your grandmother dare to answer?"

"People have no promises, but they can't stand." Tang Nuan said, "Since you have promised, you should do it."

Mr. Tang didn't speak, Tang Nuan continued, "Besides, if you don't hesitate to agree at this time, the Wen family will remember our kindness. This matter itself is inseparable from the Tang family. If it is true that sister Wen is only given to the third prince I'm afraid that the situation of the Tang family is even more embarrassing, and the third brother may not be able to return to Beijing in this life. It really counts that the Tang family and the Wen family were tied to the same rope at the moment the third brother and sister Wen exchanged tokens .”

"What else?" Mr. Tang asked.

Tang Nuan thought for a while and said, "It's mainly His Majesty's intention."

Mr. Tang nodded, "Actually, the most important thing is the Sacred Heart."

Tang Nuan hesitated and asked, "Grandfather, do you think the sixth prince..."

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "What does this have to do with our Tang family?"

Tang Nuan didn't react, and asked blankly, "But the matter of the third brother will definitely make the empress and the third prince thorn in their hearts."

Mr. Tang asked, "What do you think of the prince?"

Tang Nuan frowned and said, "Very low-key."

"He's a very smart man." When Mr. Tang mentioned the prince, he said with a bit of a sigh, "I'm afraid everyone knows what your majesty means, but why do you think the sixth prince is still just the sixth prince? The prince is still the same prince." ?”

Tang Nuan understood, widened her eyes, and said, "I understand."

Mr. Tang said, "But because of this cleverness, His Majesty can't grasp the slightest clue, and the position of the prince will become more and more embarrassing."

Tang Nuan knew that her grandfather was guiding her to think step by step. In fact, Tang Nuan was able to figure out the matter of the Tang family and the Wen family because the matter had already come to an end. She was thinking from the perspective of a bystander. In the game, Mrs. Tang's position may have been replaced. I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it for a while, and I won't be able to make such a response.

Seeing that his granddaughter didn't understand for a while, Mr. Tang continued, "What do you think Your Majesty likes about the sixth prince?"

"Because of Concubine Xi?" Tang Nuan said hesitantly.

Mr. Tang nodded, "What else?"

Tang Nuan just wanted to say he didn't know, but suddenly thought of a possibility, "Because the sixth prince is young."

Mr. Tang poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Yes, it is precisely because the sixth prince is young, the prince is 21, the second prince is twenty, the third prince is seventeen, the fourth prince is fifteen and the sixth prince is seven."

"The age difference between the fourth prince and the sixth prince is a bit large." Tang Nuan felt a little strange, "Where is the fifth prince?"

Mr. Tang said, "The fifth prince and Concubine Hui died strangely. The fifth prince was already nine years old when he died, and he died suddenly."

Tang Nuan understood that this was related to the royal family's secrets, so she didn't ask any more. Tang Nuan suddenly had a guess, but this guess only made her feel flustered, "Your Majesty likes Concubine Xi, but he loves the throne even more. "So Emperor Yan wanted him and Concubine Xi's son to be enthroned, but this premise would not affect him. The fault of the prince was that he was already an adult and capable, and the sixth prince was just right in age. Concubine Xi and the sixth prince could rely on him. Except for Emperor Yan, when the sixth prince grows up enough to participate in politics, he will have to wait at least another ten years, and Emperor Yan will be old enough at that time.

Tang Nuan was chilled by such a guess, but the next words of Mr. Tang made Tang Nuan sure, "Concubine Xi has been doting on the harem for so many years, why is there only one son?"

Tang Nuan licked her lips involuntarily. It was impossible for Concubine Xi to be pregnant only once, but the sixth prince was the only one who was born or grew up smoothly. What happened to those children who were not born?Who moved hands and feet?If Emperor Yan really cared about Concubine Xi, who would get her in the harem?The queen still sits firmly in the queen's position.

"The most ruthless is the royal family." Mr. Tang said, "Yong'an County Prince's Mansion is far away." This is the most fortunate thing, Han Tao and the current emperor are cousins, and the relationship between Han Jing's generation and the current emperor It's a lot farther away.

It's just that Mr. Tang didn't expect that the world is impermanent, and sometimes fate is always unpredictable.

Tang Nuan couldn't accept it for a while, and let out a breath slowly.

Mr. Tang rubbed his granddaughter's head and said, "You just need to understand."

Tang Nuan nodded, and Mr. Tang asked, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"I asked the maid to make some muslin clothes." Tang Nuan said.

Mr. Tang said, "Remember to make some thick ones, the weather will get cold when you get there, don't you want to freeze it, you know?"

"Yes." Tang Nuan obediently agreed.

Mr. Tang then asked, "Who are you going to bring?"

Tang Nuan said, "Mama Liu is getting old, so I won't take it with me anymore. I want to take Lan Xi and Lan Le with me."

Mr. Tang said, "I arranged a coachman for you. When the time comes, you will go with the escort agency and secretly arrange guards. They will only show up when you are in danger. You have to figure out the rest? "

"Yes." Tang Nuan said with a serious face.

Mr. Tang suddenly asked, "Do you know how much an egg costs? Do you know the price of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat?"

Tang Nuan said proudly, "Artisans in the capital usually pay forty or fifty renminbi a day, but in places like Qingheguan, it should be about [-] renminbi, a catty of pork is about [-] renminbi, and an acre of fertile land is seven or eight taels of silver. High-grade white rice costs nine cents and five cents a stone, and middle-grade white rice... white flour costs about ten cents a catty."

Tang Nuan had inquired about these things on purpose, so she answered all the questions. Mr. Tang nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Okay, let's go back and get ready."
