Escapism is not the solution after all, and silence may come in handy, but certainly not now.

"It's time to think about it." Tang Ning finally spoke: "But I respect the opinion of the official family, no matter who the official family wants to appoint as the prince, I will agree with both hands." ”

If Zhang Dian can put this matter in front of himself and say it, it means that he is ready. At the next court meeting, he will definitely find a day to bring up this matter.

Of course, this is based on the premise that he has good communication with Zhao Xu. Otherwise, this kind of behavior is no different from forcing the uterus.

This time, Zhang Dian came over, perhaps to ask for his own opinion on this matter. Either put yourself on his side or silence yourself.

Tang Ning still doesn't know whether Zhang Xuan is contrary to Zhao Xu's interests, he feels that Zhao Xu must have considered this matter, and Zhao Xu should also know the right person.

So I still don't want to meddle in this matter, anyway, after the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, I immediately resigned and quit, these people love it, and they have nothing to do with themselves.

As soon as he heard this, he nodded.

He already knows Tang Ning's attitude, what Zhao Xu says, Tang Ning will say. Fortunately, this is what I expected.

Next, it is time to find a day to enter the palace to persuade Zhao Xu.

But there was another reason why he came here today.

"By the way, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom came yesterday, what did he tell you when he saw you?"

"He didn't say anything, he offered us to exchange the silver with them for the nominal right to rule the eight eastern states of the sixteen states of Yanyun."

"Oh, the official family sent someone to tell the old man about this yesterday, and this is a very good proposal for us." Zhang Dian smiled: "Emperor Tianzuo is still a flashy child in the end, short-sighted and without foresight.

He was able to put forward such a condition, it seems that he doesn't care about the future of Liao at all, and only thinks about the current life. ”

"Yes, and it is said that within the Liao Court, a person named Xiao Fengxian is very favored by Emperor Tianzuo. The opinions he put forward were readily adopted by Emperor Tianzuo.

Moreover, this person covered the sky with one hand in the Liao court, and anyone who contradicted his opinion was squeezed out of the court by him. The people call him Xiao Jun. ”

"The old man has heard of it." Zhang Dian said with a smile: "I heard that when Yan Agu fought against Emperor Tianzuo, he persuaded Emperor Tianzuo who was moved to kill Emperor Yan to fight a horse.

But no one thought that that the small tribe in the corner of the country would now become a big country that can compete with the Liao State. ”

Tang Ning nodded and said: "The unpredictable world is one of them, the main reason is that Liaodong is too backward, the Jurchens are barbaric and ignorant, the state does not pay attention to it, and the merchants do not want to go deep into it."

In this way, the news is blocked, and what happens in Liaodong may be a long time

After a while, the outside world will know.

For example, Wanyan Aguta's family history is the result of the joint efforts of three generations of his grandparents. But this matter did not slowly spread until after Yan Agu fought and founded the country. ”

"Oh? So, do you believe this rumor? ”

"The younger generation has always believed that the reason why the First Emperor was able to unify the six kingdoms was inseparable from the joint efforts of the successive monarchs of the Qin State in the previous 600 years.

If there was no ancestral inheritance passed down for 600 years, how could the First Emperor wipe out the Six Kingdoms in ten years? ”

"That's true." Zhang Dian nodded: "It seems that Zhou Jinyu has taught a good apprentice."

In fact, the old man also agreed with this statement, maybe at the first fish banquet, he already had the idea of becoming the emperor by himself. ”

When you find a common topic, you can continue to talk about it. Some of Downing's insights made Zhang Dian sometimes think deeply, and sometimes be amazed.

So Zhang Dian asked Tang Ning about some things during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wanting to see what Tang Ning had to say.

It just so happens that Tang Ning has been studying "Warring States Policy" and "Zuo Chuan" in his spare time in the past two years, and he has quite a lot of experience in this regard.

He chatted with Zhang Dian, who was aroused, from morning to afternoon, until Zhang Dan's domestic servant came to look for someone, and he reluctantly left.

Not long after he left, Wang Shi entered the house.

"What are you talking about for so long?"

"You pour me a glass of water first, I talked for a long time, and the saliva was dry."

Wang Shi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Tang Ning, handed it over and watched Tang Ning drink it dry, and poured him another cup.

This time, Tang Ning drank it slowly, let out a long breath and said, "Zhang Xiang doesn't know if he is assessing my knowledge, or if he is interested." He talked about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for most of the day, and asked me some strange questions. ”

Wang Shi pouted when he heard this, the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is just a few sets. She had discussed it with Tang Ning countless times, and it didn't make any sense at all.

He took out an invitation card from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Ning and said, "Tomorrow, the second uncle is going to hold a family banquet, so I sent someone to send an invitation over." Are you going or not? ”

"How is this time? Didn't it all use around the Spring Festival before? ”

"Who knows." Wang Shixue Tang Ning shrugged his shoulders and learned vividly: "Are you going?" ”

"Who are they?"

"Second uncle, third uncle, and some juniors. This is a family banquet, and almost everyone who has relatives and relatives has to go. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Look at my ass, if it's better, I'll go with you. If it doesn't work, you can go yourself. ”

"Okay." Wang Shi nodded and said, "Then I'll prepare a gift, and I'll call Li Zi over to accompany you later." ”

Tang Ning hummed and continued to lie on the bed, in fact, he was not in a very good mood.

Zhang Dian came to the matter of the prince, which proved that a group of people led by him believed that Zhao Xu's physical condition had reached the point of danger.

The fact is also the same, even if Zhao Xu seems to be able to move, there is only so much time he can move every day, and he is still strong.

Yesterday, he didn't hold back his cough in front of the envoy of the Liao State, and it is conceivable how far his condition has become.

I had long expected such a day, but when this day really took steps towards him, Tang Ning didn't know how to face it.

He is a minister, and Zhao Xu is a king. In addition, the two of them are close friends.

In the early years, Zhao Xu may have tried to win over Tang Ning and make a sincere appearance. But with too much playing, it is difficult to get out of this role.

Although Tang Ning has often been outside over the years, whenever Tang Ning comes back, Zhao Xu either summons Tang Ning into the palace, or runs out to Tang Ning's house in civilian clothes.

The relationship between the monarch and the minister is not so important in Tangning's eyes, in a sense, it is the working relationship between the boss and the subordinate.

But Zhao Xu is good to Tang Ning, and the two have a good personal relationship. This is the reason why Tang Ning is willing to give Zhao Xu his life.

Now, his good friend is terminally ill and dying. How could Tang Ning's mood get better?

With a deep sigh, Downing buried his head in the pillow.

"Brother Ning, why are you unhappy?" When Li Zi came in from outside the door, he heard Tang Ning's sigh, so he asked, "Isn't it okay in the morning?" Did Zhang Xiang tell you something? ”

"I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional. The cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, as long as it is an individual, cannot escape. Neither the emperor nor the beggar can get out of this circle. ”

Li Zi blinked his big beautiful eyes, opened his mouth to speak, and finally gave up. Downing was a little strange, he wouldn't have said such nonsense before.

"What about Tang Gong?"

Seeing that Li Zi didn't talk, Tang Ning asked.

"Sister Qi is playing with him." Li Zi replied, "I'm here to take care of you, can't you still bring Gong'er with you?" Otherwise, I can't take care of two people, one big and one small. ”

"It's like I'm a wreck." Downing muttered.

Li Zixin said that you obviously hurt your buttocks, but you seem to be paralyzed, not a waste but better than a waste person.

Plum rolled his eyes and didn't answer, sat on the edge of the bed, took out a book from his sleeve and read it slowly.

Tang Ning himself felt that what he said was easy to be despised, and he blushed a little. Fortunately, Li Zi is not Pei Xiantong, otherwise at this time, he would have been ridiculed by a lot of contempt and scorn and couldn't raise his head......
