When Zhao Xu looked down at Zeng Fan and asked, Zeng Fan also felt the momentum from Zhao Xu.

Either a person's temperament is related to his background and the environment in which he grew up, even if Zhao Xu, a young man who is just twenty-five years old, has been an emperor for many years, and the aura exuded from his body is very different from everyone else.

Although Tang Ning had experienced this feeling in Zhao Xu's body a long time ago, but at that time Zhao Xu was still young and not so strong, this time it was different.

sighed and said to Zhou Cheng: "The official family is really becoming more and more like an adult!" ”

"......" Zhou Cheng felt that something was wrong with this, but right now Zhao Xu was losing his temper, he didn't have the courage to speak as much as Tang Ning.

Glancing at Tang Ning, he motioned him to close his mouth with his eyes, and the two continued to stand aside.

Facing Zhao Xu's questioning, Zeng Fan said tremblingly: "The criminal minister...... The sinner doesn't remember when it happened......"

"Do you still want to pretend to be stupid?!" Zhang Dun stepped forward and shouted.

Zeng Fan's grandfather, Zeng Gongliang, was biased towards Wang Anshi in the early years of his rule, that is, he was inclined to the New Party. But in the later period, because of differences with Wang Anshi, coupled with other reasons, Zeng Gongliang began to lean towards the old party.

Therefore, as a grandson, Zeng Fan unswervingly inherited his grandfather's will and was a staunch supporter of the old party.

After Zhao Xu came into power, because his political tendencies were not so obvious, he did not particularly feel sorry for Zhao Xu or the New Party, but stayed in the court, and did not degrade and exile like Lu Gongshu, Qin Guan and other ministers.

However, in recent years, it may be because of such an important thing as mastering gunpowder. Zeng Fan gradually became more talkative, and his liking to raise the bar is his most obvious sign in recent years.

Whether the gunpowder leaked out was a secret recipe or a finished product did not matter to Zhang. Where it goes, Zhang Dian doesn't care.

What he is concerned about is that the gunpowder leaks out, and Zeng Fan, who will be the chief eunuch, will be unable to escape the blame. And by using the topic to play, you can use this matter to squeeze Zeng Fan out of the court, so that there is one less person in the court who works against him.

Tang Ning figured it out the moment Zhang Dian stood up, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

It is said that the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, but judging from Zhang Dan's behavior, he is the kind of character who will repay him. Such a person became the prime minister, and I don't know if it was the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty or the bad luck of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Tang Ning even felt that Zeng Fan was a little pitiful.

Thinking about it with malice, maybe Zhang Dian caught up with Zhao Ren and colluded to frame Zeng Fan......

"Although gunpowder is not a secret, the finished product of gunpowder is rare even for the privy envoy Zeng Buzeng, right? The formula of gunpowder is even worse, and the privy envoy probably doesn't know it, right? Zhang Duan said loudly.

Zeng Bu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The old man is afraid that the wall has ears, so he doesn't dare to listen to it."

Listen. The finished gunpowder was only seen a few times during the test. ”

"Huh! Zeng Fan! What else do you have to say! Zhang Dian looks like a powerful traitor in the TV series, and Tang Ning, who looks at him with a face, can't wait to go up and punch him in the face.

Zhao Xu did not take any action against Zhang's transgression. Still with his head down, he stared indifferently at Zeng Fan, who was about to lie on the ground.

In a sense, what Zhang Xuan just said was also what Zhao Xu wanted to say.

Thinking from the perspective of his heart, he didn't want to believe that his future eunuch would be a person who didn't pay lip service.

"The official, although the minister has no memory of leaking gunpowder information, but the only people who can tell this information to others are the general and General Tang.

The minister believed that General Tang would not do such a thing, and the matter could only be the prisoner. The ministers are not effective, and the ministers are guilty! The sin deserves death! ”

“……”

Tang Ning wanted to scold his mother after saying this, but the little pity he had for Zeng Fan just now disappeared in an instant.

What a hateful man, who is dying and pulls himself on his back. Why didn't I kill you last night?

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, glanced at Tang Ning, who was gritting his teeth, nodded and said, "You said that, but you reminded me."

In addition to the general prisoner, there is another person who knows the secret of gunpowder. ”

The ministers began to discuss, and some of them were Zeng Fan's supporters, so they said loudly: "That's right, the official family!" Weichen believes that it is not impossible that the information of gunpowder leaked from the mouth of General Tang! ”

"Lord Dong is reasonable! Official! Wechen applied for a review of the case! If innocent people are punished, when the truth comes out, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the official family! ”

"Please think twice!"

"Please think twice!"

Seven or eight of Zeng Fan's die-hard supporters stood up and said something that sounded very vicious to Tang Ning, and Tang Ning was so angry that his hands and feet trembled.

At this time, Zeng Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "What are you doing!" It is impossible for General Don to do such a thing! Don't mess around! Don't get involved with you! ”

"Eunuch Zeng, we've heard!" The official surnamed Dong looked at Zeng Fan's red nose and said, "Last night, General Tang went to your house to trouble you, and your nose was hit by him, right?"

Hmph, a wicked person sues first. It seems that the official family was also deceived by his hand! Today, we must seek justice for Eunuch Zeng, and let the guilty confess their sins and be punished! ”

"That's right!"

"Agreed!"

After saying this, seven or eight more people jumped out, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in unison: "Please think twice!" ”

I said it three times in a row, and many people joined in halfway.

In the end, among the people who were still standing, counting Zhao Xu and Tang Ning, there were only less than twenty or thirty.

Cai Bian, Zhou Cheng, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dian.

Tang Ning's good neighbor, Qiu Wan, the male protagonist of the Qiu family, Qiu Wan, the male owner of the Guo family, and Guo Hong, the priest of the country.

Shi family, Wang family, Cao family...... Everyone held the wat board, and stood still with their eyes and noses and noses. Even though everyone in the circle knelt on the ground, they ignored it.

These people may be Tangning's allies at this stage. Although the motives of Cai Bian, Zeng Bu and Zhang Dian are unknown, their attitudes are still worth Tang Ning's use.

After a wry smile, Tang Ning shook his head. Removing these three people, this lineup is really shabby.

None of them were recovered by their own personal strength, even if they were two neighbors, when they were not at home, Wang Shi had a good relationship with the two of them.

Guozijian Liquor Guo Hong is a very serious person, as the highest school in the Great Song Dynasty, the head of Guozijian, his attitude towards life is very serious.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for such people to have a good relationship even if they are neighbors. After all, the Tang family has a lazy smell from top to bottom, and this is exactly what the serious Guo Hong does not like.

So the relationship between the two families was not very good at the beginning, and the reason for the change was that Wang Shi took Tang Yu to the door to give gifts during the Chinese New Year, and Tang Yu attracted Guo Hong's attention.

He even showed a smile to Tang Yu, and after that, he often invited Tang Yu to his house as a guest under various names, and also expressed his feelings about how good it would be if he were a boy.

The Qiu family was conquered completely by Qi Xianyu's personal charm, Qiu Wan was amazed by Qi Xianyu's beauty at first, and after inquiring that Qi Xianyu was just Tang Ning's concubine, he repeatedly came to the door to ask Wang Shi for it, and was even willing to exchange it for ancestral good land.

But Wang Shi still refused, so Qiu Wan was ready to use some tried and tested despicable methods.

However, before he could act, the family's three-year-old son suddenly fell ill. I invited a lot of doctors to come, but they couldn't do anything. It just so happened that Qi Xianyu had met the same patient when he was practicing medicine in Runzhou before, and with his previous experience, he naturally got rid of the disease.

Qiu Wan loved this child the most, and from then on he worshipped Qi Xianyu as a goddess. Even later, when someone wanted to come to the door to ask for it, he came forward to send the person away.

Qi Xianyu respected him very much, and his relationship with the Tang family began to become closer.

After that, the three families, the Wang family and Jiangmen represented by the descendants of the Duke of Qiguo, and the Cao family, who had a queen, were completely very kind to the Tang family because of Wang Shi's face.

If it weren't for Wang Shi, the two families would probably be kneeling on the ground now.

After all, Tang Ning's original words were really disgusting......

As for the Shi family, I don't know why they support themselves......
