Riding the Pheonix Chapter 689: Situation
A Xuan came back from inquiring about the information, drank a large bowl of water, and said, "No need to look for it."
Mingwei came out of the house: "Why don't you have to look for me?"
A Xuan said: "Master Ji Wu was caught by them. They were afraid that we would not rescue him, so they deliberately released the news."
After hearing the news, Mingwei felt relieved: "It will be easy to find his whereabouts. They want us to rescue him, but they will definitely not hurt him."
Yang Shu also came out: "There must be a trap, we have to be careful. Ah Xuan, please contact the people in the Imperial City Department and see if you can get any information."
After all, he had been in charge of the Imperial City Division and had a bit of a passion for it. And before leaving, King An cleared the relationship with him. As long as it did not affect his duties, the people in the Imperial City Department would cooperate with him.
A Xuan agreed and said: "There is also the Duke Dai's Mansion, which is very chaotic now."
Yang Shu was very concerned about this issue and beckoned: "Come on, let's make it clear."
A Xuan said: "Tang Jing had a very high prestige during his lifetime. All the direct descendants of the Tang family were headed by him, and no one dissatisfied with him. And the other members of the Tang family were not all useless, especially the second master and the third master. They He was also in a high position. As soon as Tang Jing died, he wanted to take over the Tang family..."
"What then?"
A Xuan took a sip of tea and continued: "I heard that Mrs. Tang didn't like her second son. When Tang Shao carried his father's body back, he was scolded and said that he was a patricide. Later, Tang Er Grandpa and Mr. Tang San were forced to come to the door, so Mrs. Tang temporarily suppressed the matter and supported the second son to take power. For the eldest son, the situation was not very good now. The eldest son Tang Luo was leading troops outside, so he rushed back immediately. It takes time. The second son, Tang Shao, did not have a deep foundation because he had not been in the house for many years. The old lady who was able to convince the other families fell ill again. However, the eldest son had been in charge of the family for many years, and both the customers and the property were all in the eldest chamber. In your hands, others can’t shake it for a while.”
Yang Shu nodded and said: "Tang Luo has military power in his hands. This is fundamental. Tang Shao is scheming and strategic, and he is not easy to deal with. In addition, the tenth master Tang Xi..." He asked Ming Wei , "Does he support the elder?"
Mingwei replied: "To be precise, Tang Xi supports Tang Shao. They grew up together, uncle and nephew, and their relationship is extraordinary. But Tang Xi is better at assisting and is not suitable for living here. The main position. Therefore, he will definitely support the eldest son, and between the two sons, he will support Tang Shao."
"Okay." Yang Shu said, "With Tang Xi's help and consistent communication with Mrs. Tang, Tang Shao should be able to stabilize the situation and wait for Tang Luo to come back. However, during this period, the other houses will not give up. Seize power. In short, the Tang family will be in chaos for a while."
"There are other aristocratic families," Ah Xuan added. "My subordinates have inquired about it. In the past few days, those aristocratic families that were suppressed by the Tang family have emerged one after another to take sides. Even some who originally relied on the Tang family have also I have thought about it. And the Emperor of Nanchu is now busy packing up the imperial army and taking control of the palace."
"What a good opportunity." Yang Shu said with a smile, "None of them can swallow up the other, which is the best situation. I hope these aristocratic families can persist longer and consume the power of the Tang family. It is best to have a few chaos. Year, in that case, maybe we can have the opportunity to march south."
This idea is wonderful, but at present, it is not practical.
It's not enough for Tang Jing to die. At least half of the Tang family must be destroyed.
What worries Mingwei is that she knows that Tang Shao has the ability to clean up the mess. If you give him enough time, he might be able to calm down.
Now we can only hope that Xinggong will be more powerful. With an emperor in his hands, it would be best to make Tang Shao powerless by doing more things in the name of Emperor Tiancheng.
But then, there is another problem. With Xing Palace's ethics, will they really support Emperor Tiancheng all the time? After all, in terms of ability, Emperor Tiancheng and Tang Shao were far apart. Not long ago, Miss Ling wanted to help Tang Shao ascend to power.
As soon as she mentioned her worries, Yang Shu said: "How can things in the world go as planned? For example, Tang Jing's death was something we had not expected at all. We still have to watch which direction they will go. Do it."
Mingwei nodded.
This is true, she is a little anxious.
"We'll discuss other matters later, let's save people first."
"Okay."
……
The elegiac couplet was hung in the Duke of Dai's mansion, and Tang Jing, the Duke of Dai, who had been domineering all his life, was lying quietly in the coffin.
His remains have been cleaned up, he is wearing the official attire, and his face is still as majestic as when he was alive.
Tang Shao stood in front of the soul, silently looking at the paper ingot in the brazier, motionless.
Tang Xi walked in and said, "You haven't slept in two days, have you? Go take a nap."
Tang Shao still didn't move.
Tang Xi sighed: "No matter what, your health is the most important thing. If you fall down now, we will really be helpless." As he said that, he touched the clothes on his body and said, "The mourning hall is so cold, so are you. If you don’t wear an extra layer, do you want to freeze yourself?”
It's May now. In order to preserve Tang Jing's body, a lot of ice cubes were placed in the mourning hall, which made it chilly when you walked in.
"Let's go next door with Uncle Ten, have a bowl of hot porridge, and get some sleep first. We'll be busy tomorrow!"
Tang Xi reached out to help him, and this time Tang Shao finally obeyed.
The uncle and nephew slowly returned to the resting compartment, and Tang Xi ordered his servants to bring food and water.
Tang Shao obediently drank a bowl of porridge~IndoMTL.com~ His face finally looked better and he was in better spirits.
He asked: "Is there any news from the palace? Has there been an order to punish someone?"
How the emperor determines the death of Duke Dai is the key to subsequent development.
If he issues an edict to reprimand and announces the charges, then he will fall out with the Tang family.
When forced to that point, the Tang family had no other choice but to die and lose everything.
After all, they are all rebellious officials and traitors, should we just let them be captured without mercy?
And if the emperor retreats, then the Tang family has other options.
Tang Xi replied: "There is no order. As soon as the eldest brother died, Wenshan Hou made a memorial and stated the charges, claiming that the eldest brother had committed ten major crimes and should be punished for them. There was no order when the emperor, and no words have been leaked out now. ."
Tang Shao nodded and gently turned the ring on his hand.
This was taken from my father after his death.
Tang Shao tried to use his father's customary actions to comfort himself. It was as if his father was still there after doing this.
"Your Majesty still doesn't dare!" He smiled faintly, "Those who vote for him are all just outsiders. The so-called loyal people don't have much strength, so he doesn't dare to fall out with us."
"Yes." Tang Xi said softly, "So, we still have a chance. When Dalang comes back, we will make a report and let him be knighted. As long as he is knighted, it will be a protracted battle in the future."
Tang Shao nodded in agreement.
It is undeniable that this is the best result.
After all, the status of monarch and ministers has been determined, and Emperor Tiancheng is not an unprincipled and ignorant emperor. If the Tang family raises its flag to rebel, public opinion will lose a step.
The so-called Tao defeats the unprincipled, and the teacher has a reputation, these are all things that need to be paid attention to.
No matter what the truth is, at least it must occupy a name.
