The old fox who married into a wealthy family

"Father..." The emperor looked at Tang Li in surprise, not understanding why he said that.

Between the small bridges and flowing water in the imperial garden, among the flowers and green trees, Prime Minister Tang began to think about the past with the emperor, and thoroughly analyzed the pros and cons of it——

From the rectification of powerful families and dignitaries back then, to the collapse of the first emperor before he started his business, to the death of the first prince who entrusted the world to support each other, everyone cherished the dream of a peaceful and prosperous world, and worked hard for it until they died.

In short, the long march of ten thousand miles has already come, and the trembling in front of him is short of killing Tang Li, a treacherous minister and giving the world an explanation.

The emperor with a clean reputation and whose hands were never stained with blood and filth took back his power, and then lavished generously on the remnants of the nobles who were suppressed and killed too much. These people were grateful to continue to be used by the court...

As I said before, the nobles and nobles enjoy the best educational conditions and environment. Although they have been corrupted, most of the high-level advisers, including many famous generals and commanders, were born here, so there are still many talents available.

Tangli took out a blue booklet from her arms, put it on the stone table, and pushed it in front of the emperor: "This booklet records the list of wise men who have been relegated and suppressed by me over the years. , His Majesty can recover them and make good use of them, they are deeply grateful for the emperor's grace, and will definitely do their best for His Majesty to create a peaceful and prosperous world."

After finishing speaking, Tangli looked at the emperor sincerely, and had already thought about what to do next——

If the emperor is willing to kill him with tears, he will shout long live and die generously.

If the emperor still refuses to kill him after all the talk has been said, he will scold the emperor for not making a decision for the emperor, wasting the late emperor's hard work, wasting his years of teaching, taking off his pants and spanking severely , and let the maids and eunuchs next to him watch...

It is said that since the emperor was 15 years old, considering the dignity of the emperor, he never spanked the opponent's ass again.

And now the emperor is 21 years old and has reached the adult age of the crown. If he is spanked in public again... he will definitely want to kill him, ahahahahahaha.

The emperor didn't play the cards according to the rules. He looked at Tangli with tears in his eyes, moved his lips a few times, and opened his mouth slowly——

"I didn't expect Xiangfu to sacrifice so much for me and the world... I, I also have a secret that I want to tell Xiangfu."

Then the corner of Prime Minister Tang's mouth twitched, listening to the emperor's eloquently telling a poignant love story between a noble girl and a poor boy.

Immediately after the crystallization of love in this story, she looked at Tang Li distressedly: "I know Xiangfu's painstaking efforts, and I also know that the current situation is not easy, but the way of heaven is normal, how can a son kill his father?"

Tang Li was very sure that he had no other relationship with the Queen Mother except political hostility.

This story... how should I put it, is half true and half false.

The first emperor and the first prince were indeed poisoned to death by the empress dowager.But the reason why the Queen Mother poisoned them was not at all to protect her youngest son and her imaginary lover, but out of family interests and greed for power.

But that's how the real and the fake are blended together, so it sounds a lot like the real thing.

Then there is the motive, what is the purpose of her making up this story for the emperor to hear?

Divorce is not like alienation, blame is not like blame.

No matter how you think about it, it has no effect at all except to stir up the water.

Tang Li thought for a while, then asked, "Did the Empress Dowager tell Her Majesty herself?"

The emperor shook his head sadly: "It's about the confusion of the royal blood, how could the queen mother tell anyone... She has a heavy heart and no one to complain, so she wrote the matter on a piece of paper and put it by the pillow before it can be destroyed." Go and be discovered by me."

The real situation is that because the Queen Mother is obsessed with the magnificent Prime Minister Tang, she can't love her, and she has lost all hope of seizing power. It is very boring to stay in the deep palace alone for a long time, so she cut her own legs to produce food, and wrote a fan of "I x Prime Minister Tang" , Just watch YY before going to bed.

This story was made up for herself.

However, the Empress Dowager had already died according to the plot, and the dead would not speak anymore. Tang Li couldn't argue with the current situation.

No matter how hard it is to argue, you have to try to argue. Prime Minister Tang had no choice but to stand up bravely, saluted the emperor, and said solemnly: "There is no personal relationship between the minister and the Queen Mother. Your Majesty is the blood of the late emperor. The just and proper Lord of the world, I hope His Majesty will not be suspicious."

The emperor hurriedly got up to help Tangli, and nodded towards Tangli with a sob, showing a moved expression of "I understand".

...you know what a fart.

Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Tang couldn't stay in the imperial garden any longer and went back to the mansion. The emperor was full of admiration and reluctantly sent him outside the palace gate, watching him board the sedan chair and leave.

Prime Minister Tang is now an extremely powerful minister, and his age is getting older, and his airs and power are different from before, so he no longer rides a horse when traveling, but travels in a spacious eight-carrying sedan chair.

There was a gong in front to clear the way, and there were guards on both sides surrounded by the emperor's imperial guards, full of official authority.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Tang Li frowned slightly, thinking to herself.

No wonder the emperor has been respectful and obedient to him all these years. He is as obedient as his son.

It turned out that the empress dowager somehow stirred up the muddle... It seems that the way of letting the emperor kill him will not work.

However, Prime Minister Tang has made countless enemies, and there are many people in this world who want him dead.

Anyway, he is a lone minister and has no relatives or friends. As long as he dies, he can also achieve the result of returning the government to the emperor and explaining to the world.

The problem is, the emperor protects him too well now, and he has a bunch of guards following him when he goes out, so it's not convenient for him to assassinate him, alas...

Well, the front is Jiaofangsi.

In Jiaofang Division, many young and beautiful officials, high-ranking and female relatives who committed crimes were confiscated here.

Prime Minister Tang ransacked countless homes and wiped out countless families, so naturally there were many beauties who held a deep hatred for him.

I remember that in the original world line, there was a dancer named Rui Niang in Jiaofang who took advantage of a banquet to add a cup to assassinate Zhang Zheng. It took half a month to get better.

If he goes in to have fun, the guards will naturally not be able to follow him, and then he will die under a peony flower, wouldn't it be logical?

So Prime Minister Tang, who was even more beautiful and unparalleled than Jiaofang's oiran, said in the sedan chair, "Get off the sedan chair."

Although Prime Minister Tang has a great reputation outside the world, his private life has always been clear, and he has never been close to women.Hearing this order, the bearers and the followers were a little surprised.

But the Jiaofang was originally a place to receive high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and it was time to rest and take a bath tomorrow, so there was nothing to say about Prime Minister Tang's doing so.

So Tang Li got off the sedan chair, asked everyone to wait outside, and walked into the teaching workshop alone.

The Jiaofang is a place where officials often come and go, among them are the senior officials of the third rank and fifth rank. However, Tang Li, a high-ranking courtier who parked his sedan chair, still caused a huge sensation, and soon someone went to pass the news, Jiaofang Si Siye came out to greet him in person.

Zhang Zheng has worked here as a secretary for seven years, and he has not met Tang Li again for seven years, seeing him now, he can't help feeling mixed and confused.

He still remembered seven years ago, brother Tang teased him with kisses at the prime minister's mansion, and the ambiguous feelings that had always existed between the two of them, as agreed to guard their bodies like jade, never marry and have children...

Brother Tang has always behaved upright and never set foot in the Goulan cottage, but now he came here... Was it to see him?

"Prime Minister is here, and I am far away to welcome you." Zhang Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed to Tangli, "I don't know why the Prime Minister is here?"

Tang Li nodded towards Zhang Zheng: "I heard that you have a dancer named Rui Niang here, I want to invite her to accompany you."

Ten thousand mud horses galloped past Zhang Zheng's heart.

Brother Catch Love is really not guaranteed at the end of the festival, so he came here to have fun?

"Rui Niang is not feeling well today, so it's inconvenient to see guests." Zhang Zheng bowed his head, making a submissive gesture, but bitterly burst out these words from between his teeth.

"Oh, that's it." Tangli believed it was true, and immediately announced a dozen names with which he had a deep hatred, "Then Yunji, Su'e, Xiaoxiao, Xiangmeng...all of these are fine."

Zhang Zheng: "...Oh, I have misremembered, Rui Niang is not feeling well."

Just kidding, Rui Niang is a dancer after all, and the rest of them are also in the skin business!Compared with the two powers, whichever is less important, it should be Rui Niang.

So Prime Minister Tang opened a luxurious private room, sat side by side with Zhang Zheng, and enjoyed Rui Niang's dance...

Hmm, something seems wrong?

Tang Li looked at Zhang Zheng beside him: "Ben Xiang wants to watch Rui Niang dance alone, so Yue Ling avoids it?"

Zhang Zhengmu said with a straight face: "It's rare for the prime minister to show great enthusiasm and come to the Jiaofang. How can the subordinate officials not accompany him? Is it impolite?"

Tang Li was not the kind of person who didn't understand style, and immediately understood that his little fox was jealous.

Just when I was feeling a little happy, I smiled and wanted to say something, when I suddenly heard a chirp in my ear——

"Dog thief, accept your life!"

Immediately afterwards, a silver light flashed across, pointing at Tangli with a speed that could not be heard by thunder.

Rui Niang really made a move.

She is a dancer, although she is not very strong, but her speed and eyesight are top-notch. Xian Xiansu holds a sharp dagger in her hand, pointing directly at Tangli's throat!

Tang Li did not hide, she was ready to die generously.

"Brother Tang!"

Zhang Zheng, who was still gnashing his teeth at Tang Li a moment ago, turned pale with shock at this moment, and he didn't know where the strength and speed came from. His first reaction was to jump at Tang Li from his seat, and he happened to protect Tang Li under him.

The short dagger sank deeply into Zhang Zheng's vest, and the pain was sharp.

"Brother Tang..." Zhang Zheng propped his elbows on the ground, looked down at Tangli deeply, his face was pale, but a relieved smile slowly bloomed on his blood-stained lips, "You are fine...just fine."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zheng's body began to blur a little bit, turning into a translucent state, and then disappeared before Tang Li's eyes.

Then dissipated, and this world.

The magnificent and brocade-embroidered rooms, the bronze beasts on the ground, the elegant ink screen, the slim and beautiful Ruiniang... all began to blur before Tang Li's eyes, and then dissipated.

That's right, this world is an illusion constructed in Ji Xiuyuan's subconscious mind with Zhang Zheng as the center.

Since the character Zhang Zheng died, the illusion should no longer exist.

From nowhere, far away, came the leisurely sound of beating a gong.

The gong is the sign, which is Master Dou, a spiritual practitioner, reminding them to return to the real world.

……

Tang Li opened her eyes, and found that she was still sleeping on the cushions on the beach with the two Ji family brothers.

Stretching, I grabbed my phone and checked the time. Less than two hours had passed.

And in that long dream, he spent a full 21 years, from being a commoner to having power over the world... It was really a dream.
