Chapter 984: Conquer the Western Regions!

Chapter 984: Conquer the Western Regions!

When Tang Ning returned home, he received the letter secretly sent by the Xiaowan envoy.

Before summoning him, Emperor Chen also summoned them and proposed the idea of ​​marrying Princess Pingyang Zhao Man to the Western Regions, and the Xiaowan envoy readily agreed.

Tang Ning naturally knew that this was Emperor Chen's revenge on him because Tang Ning did not stand on his side in the old case of Empress Xiao.

Emperor Chen was still the ruthless emperor. In his eyes, his children and wives were never as good as power, and could only become tools for him to vent his anger and revenge.

However, Emperor Chen could not have thought that Tang Ning was the ruler of Xiaowan. Originally, he needed to spend some effort to take Xiao Man away, but now all this is natural.

As for what happened later, Tang Ning didn't want to care, and he couldn't care.

An important reason is that this court is no longer a court where Emperor Chen has the final say. The Fang family and Wang Xiang and others have reached a consensus that as long as Emperor Chen continues to suppress, he, the emperor, will be completely sidelined.

Su Mei received news that not long ago, the former Liang court had been completely infiltrated by several elders, and the situation in the capital was also determined.

In a few days, the State of Chen will send people to escort the envoy Xiaowan away, and the two princesses will leave with them.

Xiaoxiao and Fang Xinyue were talking in the yard. Tang Ning stood at the door, looked at her, and said, "Pack up your things early, we will leave in two days..."

After Tang Ning left, Fang Xinyue looked at Xiaoxiao and asked, "You are leaving again, where are you going?"

Xiaoxiao said, "Brother said he would go to Jiangnan first."

Fang Xinyue lowered her head and asked, "Are you coming back?"

Xiaoxiao's expression was a little depressed, and she whispered, "I probably won't come back after leaving this time."

"I'll see you off when you leave." Fang Xinyue stood up and said, "I'll go back first."

...

Fang Family

After the rebellion of King Huai, the Fang family was unexpectedly pushed to the forefront of the chaos in the capital. Although the Fang family was unprepared for this, they had accumulated a lot of experience in the past two years, so they were not too passive.

However, it is a fact that the Fang family and His Majesty are on opposite sides. This opposition will sooner or later evolve into a more intense conflict.

The Fang family can no longer keep a low profile in the entire court as before. These days, His Majesty has recalled King Zhong and started to cultivate new wings. If the Fang family does not move, the end will be extremely miserable.

And with their current strength, they can completely force His Majesty to abdicate. It's just that the Fang family is unwilling to bear this stigma.

Fang Hong is an upright person. Even if he secretly supports King Run, he has never used any extreme means. For him, he still cannot accept the fact that the Fang family and His Majesty are in opposition.

Fang Zhe said calmly: "There is no right or wrong in these things. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. When the Fang family made that decision, they should have expected that this day would come sooner or later."

Fang Hong said: "But this is a rebellion..."

Fang Zhe said: "Throughout the ages, the struggle for the throne has always been like this..."

Fang Hong sighed and said: "I am stupid. Please worry more about Prince Run's affairs in the future, my fourth brother..."

Outside the study, a figure hiding in the corner eavesdropped, with a complex and painful expression on his face...

...

There have been so many major events in the capital in recent days that no one is so surprised when there is any shocking news.

Prince Huai rebelled, and the court officials in the palace reported to the emperor, forcing him to thoroughly investigate the case of Queen Yang Fei, and he issued a self-criticism edict...

In addition, his majesty suddenly married the two princesses Anyang and Pingyang to the Western Regions, and the prime minister of Tang resigned. These were all major events that people could not have guessed. Compared with this, the news that Shangshu Zuocheng Zhong Mingli resigned was not worth mentioning at all.

The delegation that sent the bride out of the capital half a month ago will soon enter the border of the Western Regions.

The Chen Kingdom married two princesses at once, and its sincerity is evident. This represents that the relationship between the Chen Kingdom and the Western Regions has made unprecedented progress.

At the city gate.

Several carriages were parked on the official road. The old beggar was leaning on the carriage and taking a nap. Old Zheng and the middle-aged woman were squatting in the grass, holding Fang Xinyue's hand with reluctance in their eyes.

Farther away, Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning and said, "After I finish the things in the capital, I don't want to stay here."

Tang Ning patted his shoulder and said, "See you then."

Xiao Jue looked at him and suddenly said, "Thank you."

Tang Ning lightly punched him on the shoulder and waved, "Let's go."

He said goodbye to Xiao Jue, and when he turned around, a figure suddenly came over from the crowd, put a note in his hand, and left in a hurry.

Tang Ning took a look at the man and found that he was thin, white and beardless. He walked with his head down and his steps were fast. He looked a little feminine. He should be a eunuch.

He opened the note in his hand and there were two words written on it.

"Be careful."

Looking at the note that was obviously a reminder, Tang Ning smiled, and Wei Jian's old face appeared in his mind.

Then the smile on his face disappeared, and he became a little sad. He crumpled the note into a ball, got on the carriage, and said, "Let's go..."

The carriage was moving at a fast speed. In half a day, it was already far away from the capital.

"Huh..."

Lao Zheng held the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped. He rode on the horse and looked at the dense forest in front.

The old beggar and the little nanny jumped off the two carriages and walked towards the dense forest. Old Zheng sat steadily on the horse. After a while, the old beggar came out of the forest carrying a figure.

The old beggar threw the man to the ground and said: "There is an ambush in the forest, half of them are archers. The Dog Emperor actually has no mercy at all..."

Tangning looked at the spy leader with whom she had met several times and asked, "Did His Majesty send you here?"

The spy leader looked at him with a wry smile on his face and said, "Why did Prime Minister Tang ask questions knowingly?"

In fact, Tang Ning didn't need Wei Jian to remind him that Emperor Chen would not let him go so easily.

After all, he can even kill his own wife and children, let alone his own foreign minister who has no effect on him anymore?

However, guesses are just guesses. From the bottom of her heart, Tang Ning was still unwilling to accept this result.

"Your Majesty asked me to ask Prime Minister Tang a question before killing him. It seems unnecessary now..." The spy leader looked at him and said, "Comrade, I hope Mr. Tang will give me a good time. "

Tangning looked at him and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The spy leader said: "Your Majesty asked your subordinates to ask Mr. Tang, why do you want to leave?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Because I want to go back and inherit the throne..."

…

Nourish the temple.

The spy leader knelt on the ground and said, "I have failed your majesty's entrustment. Please punish me!"

Chen Huang asked in a gloomy voice: "Did they run away?"

The spy leader said: "Your Majesty, we are no match for them..."

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available around him, the spy leader in front of him would have been dragged out and executed long ago. Emperor Chen gave him a cold look and said, "Get down!"

The spy leader raised his head, moved his lips, and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."

Chen Huang said in a dark voice: "What's the matter?"

The spy leader licked his dry lips and said, "Prime Minister Tang, he is the Lord of Xiaowan, the Lord of the Western Regions..."

Chen Huang's body shook violently, as if he was struck by lightning, and he trembled: "What did you say?"

The spy leader repeated: "Prime Minister Tang is the Lord of Xiaowan..."

Chen Huang leaned back on his chair, recalling the last meeting with Tang Ning in his mind, and finally understood what his "thank you" meant.

His lips trembled, his body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's you, it's you!"

He had never been deceived like this, and he had never been as angry as he was now. Tangning had betrayed him, and he actually married both princesses to him. The delegation sent by Chen Guo to send her relatives was probably about to arrive in the Western Regions...

There was only anger in his heart, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, he was breathing heavily, and said sternly: "Pass my order, order 300,000 troops to garrison in the northwest, and conquer the Western Region!"
