Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

The gate of the capital was crowded with people.

The common people stood on both sides of the official road and looked towards the end of the official road from a distance.

Today is the day that Tang Ning, the right general of Zuo Xiaowei and the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, returns to the capital. He went to the south of the Yangtze River to wipe out the rebels, crushed the ambitions of the rebels, and also relieved the siege of the court and the people.

Mr. Tang has done a great job. Even His Majesty led hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him personally. The streets of the capital were deserted, and the people gathered at the gate of the city in eager anticipation.

This is a national gift, and it is a national gift to treat someone as a national official.

Chen Huang was sitting in the car, looking far into the distance. Seeing that there was still no movement in front of him, he turned around and asked, "When will they arrive?"

Wei Jian said: "Your Majesty, the spy has just returned. Lord Tang and the others will be here in about a quarter of an hour."

Chen Huang nodded. Although his expression was calm, the look of expectation in his eyes could not be concealed.

According to their rank, officials stood on both sides of the road. Even if the sun above their heads was fierce, they had to stand honestly.

Even His Majesty is waiting at the city gate, how can they dare to complain?

After all, what they were waiting for was just a hero. Some people were waiting under the scorching sun, but it was their uncle. Thinking about it this way, they felt much better.

The officials beside Zhong Mingli looked at him from time to time, full of ridicule.

Zhong Mingli's expression remained unchanged, and under the strange eyes of everyone, he was as steady as a rock.

Although his father-in-law was always suppressed by his uncle and seemed to have no dignity at all, ever since his daughter put on the third-grade imperial uniform, he had no intention of competing with his uncle. After all, if it weren't for Tangning, he might still be the one now. In Lingzhou, as a frustrated county magistrate who couldn't even protect his daughter, how could he be promoted to the sixth level in two years and sit in the position of Jing Zhaoyin?

What's wrong with my father-in-law being inferior to my uncle? How many people in the court would envy him for having such an uncle?

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but sometimes he felt that His Majesty looked at him strangely, full of envy and jealousy...

He was enjoying the attention of everyone, and at a certain moment, the crowd suddenly burst into loud cheers.

"came back!"

"I see them!"

"Look, Mr. Tang has returned to Beijing!"

……

Tangning didn't expect that the people in the capital would be so enthusiastic. When he got off the carriage, he felt the cheers from both sides were deafening, and even the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking.

When Chen Huang got off the car, Tang Ning took the Shang Fang Sword from Chen Zhou, raised her hands, walked to him, knelt down on one knee, and said, "My errand has been completed. Please take back the Shang Fang Sword."

"Tang Aiqing, please get up." Chen Huang personally helped him up and said, "You have indeed lived up to my expectations."

Wei Jian took Shang Fang's sword from Tang Ning's hand. Tang Ning cupped his hand and said, "I dare not live up to His Majesty's holy grace. I can only repay Your Majesty's kindness by going all out."

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Chen laughed twice and said, "I have set up a banquet in the palace. My dear, please come back to the palace with me to take care of you."

Although Tangning wanted to run home and take Xiao Ruxiaoyi into her arms, the emperor had to give her face, so she could only say, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

With everyone watching, Chen Huang got back into the car. When he was about to get in, he looked back at Tang Ning and asked in a low voice, "Are those boxes filled with money?"

Although the boxes after the motorcade were not many, even if they were full of silver, they would not be enough to fill the ones he had taken out from the inner palace before, but it was better than nothing.

Tangning shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, no."

Huang Chen had a look of disappointment on his face and was about to get in the car when Tang Ning's voice came from behind him again.

"In those boxes are all banknotes."

Chen Huang accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell off the car. Tang Ning immediately stepped forward to help him.

The eunuchs serving around him were already frightened. When they wanted to run forward to help, Emperor Chen waved his hand and repelled him.

Huang Chen looked at Tang Ning, pursed his lips, and asked, "How much?"

Tangning held out a finger.

A smile appeared on Chen Huang's lips and he asked: "There are actually 1000 million taels?"

Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, in order to support the national treasury, the rich and powerful gentry family in Runzhou have donated money equivalent to 1000 million taels of silver..."

Chen Huang looked at him and asked uncertainly: "How much?"

Tang Ning said: "Your Majesty, the specific number is 1000 taels..."

In fact, if you calculated carefully, there would be dozens of taels of change left behind, but thinking that it would not be easy for those Runzhou merchants to suffer such a disaster, Tang Ning generously wiped off the change for them.

Chen Huang closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before whispering: "Don't make any noise about this matter. Also, help me get into the car..."

……

One hundred and ten million taels of silver is an astronomical figure even for a country.

While Tang Ning confiscated the property of a wealthy businessman in Runzhou, there were actually many opportunities for him to receive a large amount of kickbacks. Even if he brought back 5000 million taels for Chen Huang, he would still be happy.

The reason he doesn't do this is that he is not short of money. To him, money is just a number. When the number reaches a certain level, no matter how big it is, it means nothing.

This situation also applies to other aspects.

Tang Yaojiao wanted her breasts to be bigger because she didn't have them in the first place. Su Mei and Li Tianlan wouldn't have the same idea as her...

Chen Huang said that he had arranged a cleansing banquet for him, but he only held two chopsticks, thought about it, and left on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Tang Ning knew that he was going to count the banknotes. It would take a long time for someone who got rich overnight to adapt psychologically to having so much money. If Tang Ning's prediction was good, Chen Huang would probably do something next. Things an upstart would do.

After the cleansing banquet, he left the palace and went straight to his home.

He originally thought that the treatment he would receive when he returned home this time would be the same as the last time he came back from Chu. He would at least get a few looks from Xiaoyi and sleep in the study for a few nights.

But this is not the case.

When he returned, Su Mei was serving tea to Xiao Ru Xiaoyi and Tang Yaoyao as the fourth lady. Although she was the oldest, age and seniority were not the key to matters like this.

While Su Mei was serving tea, Zhao Man stood nearby, looking at Tang Ning with such resentful eyes that he couldn't bear to look at her.

This strange calm and peace lasted until night, until he walked into Xiaoyi's room and found that Xiaoru and Su Mei were both there, and he almost didn't believe his eyes.

This night cannot be described in words or words. Tangning originally thought that it was Su Mei who convinced Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi. After all, she had this ability, and whether the backyard would be stable in the future would depend on her.

But when he opened Xiaoru's door the next night, he found that Xiaoyi and Su Mei were also there.

This night, of course, still cannot be described.

When he opened the door to Su Mei's room on the third night and found Xiao Yi and Xiao Ru there, Tang Ning frowned and realized that things were not simple.

It was the fourth day after Tang Ning returned to Beijing.

It was night, when Tang Yaoyao yawned and was about to close the door and go to sleep, Tang Ning walked into the room ahead of her and closed the door.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'll sleep here tonight." Tangning looked at her and said, "I'll sleep here for the next few days..."
