If you are recognized, there is no way, sure enough, it is an old husband and wife, and her thoughts can't escape this woman's eyes.

kissed Wang Shi on the face again, but was pushed by Wang Shi, and said dissatisfiedly that he would have to pounce again if he kissed again.

Smiling awkwardly, Tang Ning said cautiously, "Didn't Madam say yesterday that she was going to do a big thing?" Can you reveal it to me first, so that I can be a little mentally prepared? ”

"You want to know?"

"Yes."

"I really want to know?"

"I really want to."

"That ......"

"Uh-huh."

“…… Then please allow the concubine to sell herself, all in all, this matter is harmless to you, maybe it is exactly what you are looking forward to. ”

"Huh? It's not your own business, is it? ”

"What can a concubine do?" Wang Shi smiled: "Your business is the biggest thing in this family." ”

“……”

………………

After that, Wang Shi still did not tell Tang Ning the details of the so-called surprise. It's just that Tang Ning learned from her mouth that this surprise may be something he is looking forward to.

What could that be?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't feel that what I was looking forward to had anything to do with Wang Shi. In the end, I could only put this question aside, but this really made Tang Ning feel a little excited.

After spending two days happily with his wife and children at home, the message sent by Zhao Xu made Tang Ning have to wake up from this happy state.

Following the little eunuch, Tang Ning took Lin Wei all the way into Zhao Xu's palace. The place where Zhao Xu was going to meet Tang Ning was still the narrow imperial study.

To be honest, Tang Ning was very afraid of seeing the current Zhao Xu. In this year in history, Zhao Xu died, and an emperor would always make some crazy moves when he was about to die.

Tang Ning now has three wives, a daughter, two sons, and such a large family, even if Zhao Xu is kind to him, he doesn't want to be Zhao Xu's funeral goods.

Although he was a eunuch, Li Duzhi, who looked quite majestic, was still standing at the door. When he saw Tang Ning, he nodded at him.

Tang Ning politely arched his hand, and after calling Li Duzhi, he withdrew from the nearby idle people and others, and took Tang Ning into the imperial study.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Xu looking out the window in a daze, and the footsteps of Li Duzhi and Tang Ning came to his ears, and Zhao Xu came back to his senses.

Turning his head to look at Tang Ning, his words were not shocking.

"Tang Qing, I'm going to die."

"Your Majesty!!" Li Duzhi knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty is the king of a country and the respect of nine dragons." Every word and deed is the will of heaven.

Your Majesty must not make such a joke, slave and maid, please take back the preface! ”

Zhao Xu's astonishing words caught Tang Ning by surprise, and he didn't even know how to react. Until Li Duzhi knelt on the ground and muttered a lot of words

After that, Tang Ning came to his senses, and knelt on the ground with a thud and said: "Li Duzhi is very true, and Weichen seconded it." ”

Zhao Xu looked at the two people who were about to pestle their heads into the ground for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, what I just said, you shouldn't have heard it." ”

Li Duzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Ning could hear the relief sound on his side.

When I looked up, I saw that the back of this Li Duzhi was already wet, as if it had just been fished out of the water. On the ground where he knelt just now, the part of his forehead that touched the ground was already a water stain.

"Okay, Li Duzhi, you can step down. I still have something to discuss with Tang Qing. Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"The slave obeys." Li Duzhi got up, bowed and retreated.

Then, Zhao Xu looked at Tang Ning again and said, "You are also kneeling, get up and speak." ”

"Xie Guan's family." Tang Ning stood up at this time, sat on the kang at Zhao Xu's signal, took a cup of tea in fear, and drank it in one go.

Zhao Xu did not accuse Tang Ning of such a violent behavior, but poured another cup of tea into Tang Ning's cup, and said softly: "What I said just now is not a joke. ”

When Tang Ning heard this, he chuckled in his heart. Subconsciously wanted to jump off the kang and kneel down again, but Zhao Xu stopped Tang Ning's behavior.

He stretched out his index finger and put it to his mouth, made a silent gesture and said, "Be quiet, what if you bring in Li Duzhi?" It's another trouble. ”

Tang Ningxin said that if I don't bring Li Duzhi in, what should I do?

Then, Zhao Xu poured himself a cup of tea and said in a low voice: "Thanks to your bicycle, when the imperial doctor examined my body a few days ago, he found that I was still sick and healthy.

The doctor said that although this is a good phenomenon, it will not last long. After all, the disease has not been completely cured, and even if the physical fitness has been improved as you say, this damn lung disease has not gone away as always.

In the long run, one day, I will be robbed of this lung disease. I asked the doctor, and he said that it would be no more than five years at the latest, and two years at the shortest.

In other words, I only have two years left at the shortest. ”

Tang Ning swallowed his saliva, and Zhao Xu told him that there must be another purpose for this, but he couldn't detect his intentions.

"Two years...... Even if it is five years, we may not be ready for war with Liao. In the past five years, all we can do is to completely defeat and subdue the Western Xia, so that when we attack the Liao State, we don't have to worry about the knife from behind.

The day I recovered Yanyun, I may not be able to see it. Speaking of this, Zhao Xu's eyes became intense, he stared at Tang Ning deadly, and said word by word: "However, promise me!" Tang Qing!

Even if I am gone, I must help my Zhao family take back the sixteen states of Yanyun. Otherwise, I'm dead, and I can't close my eyes! ”

“……”

In Tang Ning's impression, Zhao Xu is a gentle but dignified, hot-blooded but not impulsive person. With such an almost crazy look, Tang Ning saw it for the first time in Zhao Xu.

How to say

Well, Tang Ning still likes the current Zhao Xu.

No matter how rational human beings are, they are also creatures dominated by emotions after all. Human beings without emotions are no longer human beings, they are saints, or gods.

Neither saints nor gods can be bosses. Such a person will only make subordinates panic. A boss who has no feelings, no matter how much he pleases him, no matter how good his work is, it will not help.

As long as you make a mistake, what awaits you is to be fired after all.

But the boss with feelings is different, at least when you make mistakes, the boss can still remember your past credits, or your sycophants and show mercy to your subordinates.

"Wechen promises you." Tang Ning nodded and said softly.

Isn't that something that has been said a long time ago? In order to repay your kindness, I have long regarded this as my life goal.

"Tang Qing......" Zhao Xu excitedly held Tang Ning's hand and shook it vigorously.

"When Liu Gongshi brought you out of Nanshan, it was really a wise choice!"

"The official family has won the award...... "Tang Ning said sweaty.

Seeing that Zhao Xu was going to continue to sigh on this issue, Tang Ning hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, the official family. In the past few years, I haven't seen Liu Gongshi.

I don't know how Liu Gongshi has been doing lately? ”

"He." Zhao Xu smiled: "You should remember the thief Zhao Ren on Nanshan, who was regarded as the greatest shame in his life by Liu Gongshi, so he pursued him.

It's been almost four or five years now, and all of Zhao Ren's strongholds in Lianghuai have been destroyed by Liu Gongshi.

I don't know exactly what happened. I haven't asked again since I did this. However, it has not fallen into the hands of Liu Gongshi for such a long time, so Zhao Ren should not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

If you ask Liu Gongshi how it is lately, I estimate that even if he brings the thief to justice, this matter will leave a big shadow in his heart. ”

“……”

Zhao Ren actually has such a great ability? Under the pursuit of Wu Desi, under the pursuit of He Yu, he escaped for four or five years?

This is not something that ordinary people can do, He Yu's Jianghu forces, and Wu Desi's court forces are dispatched together, and Zhao Ren cannot be brought to justice, it is not that He Yu and Liu Ling are incompetent, but that Zhao Ren is too strong.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning couldn't help but worry. This Zhao Ren, the biggest enemy is none other than himself. The more he is cornered, the more he hates himself.

I have a large army to protect myself when I go out, but what about my family?

Senior Brother He is in Runzhou, and it is easy to say that Runzhou is there. But here in Kaifeng, if there is no master at home, and you go out by yourself, you will not be at ease for a moment......

Master...... Who is the master?

Lin Wei is determined to follow him, Qi Fu, Yang Yingzheng, Fang Yong, Xiao Shi, and Fang La are all in the army, and they can't stay. Who else but them?

Pei Xiantong?

Pei Xiantong......
