Chapter 276 Tang Mo Meets the Emperor
For a moment, Tang Rong didn't want to live anymore. Compared to that, being bitten by a dog and beaten by people were actually relatively decent experiences. Now, whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of that damn scene, and when he opened his eyes, his nose would be filled with that unpleasant smell.
"Prepare some water. I want to take a bath."
Under the guidance of Aunt Liu, Aunt Cai is now the only person who can serve Tang Rong. Tang Rong wants to take a bath, and she also wants to take a bath. Cai Quan helps her deal with the dirt on her body but is very perfunctory. She can smell the odor emanating from her body wherever she goes.
"Your Highness, please bear with it for a while. The palace doctor said you can't touch water for the next three days."
"You just took the medicine, so you have to wait a little longer."
She was afraid. What if Tang Rong jumped out again? What would she do if she jumped out of the hot tub while soaking in it? "Prepare some water."
Tang Rong gritted his teeth. He was determined to take a bath even if he died in the tub. He was the son of a marquisate and a role model for many other young men from aristocratic families. He would never allow himself to lie here in a filth and stink.
Aunt Cai advised earnestly, "You'd better wait until it's well before soaking it. If you feel the smell, I'll rub it for you and make the room more fragrant."
"I asked you to prepare some water."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Aunt Cai didn't want to indulge him anymore, "Your Highness's stomach is not stable yet. If he feels something again after soaking in the water, what should we do?"
"you"
Tang Rong pounded the bed heavily, "Send the court doctor here, I will get to the bottom of this matter."
He didn't believe the nonsense about catching a cold in the abdomen. Tang Mo must be trying to harm him. Aunt Cai quickly helped him fulfill his wish.
The court doctor came very quickly, and no matter how Tang Rong asked, he said that his stomach was cold and it had nothing to do with the medicine. As for the soup bowl from the morning, it had been washed clean long ago, and all the food in his stomach had been discharged. He was currently taking medicine to stabilize his condition.
"If you don't trust me, you can ask another doctor to come to the mansion for treatment."
"I'll take my leave first."
It stinks so much that he has already considered resigning and not serving anymore.
At the same time, Tang Mo, the instigator of this incident, followed Liao Zhi into the palace in high spirits. After waiting at the door of the imperial study for almost two incense sticks, he was allowed to enter and meet the emperor.
At this time, Tang Gang was also in the imperial study. Something happened in the Duke of Xiangguo's mansion and the emperor felt that it was related to him. He wanted him to cooperate with the Duke of Xiangguo to capture the kidnappers and restore peace in the capital. When he saw Tang Mo coming in, he frowned slightly, worried that Tang Mo would say something bad.
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you. Today, I have been ordered to bring Tang Mo, the new deputy commander of the Northern Army, to the palace to meet your Majesty."
Liao Zhi led Tang Mo to greet him. After greeting him, the emperor asked Tang Mo to stand up and turn around. Seeing that he was slender, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, and well-proportioned, he nodded with satisfaction, "He really looks quite capable."
"I heard that you still practice martial arts every day?"
Tang Mo replied, "Your Majesty, I was naughty when I was young and didn't practice martial arts well. It was only when I joined the Northern Army that I picked up martial arts again. It was because everyone in the Northern Army was brave. If I didn't work harder, I would be laughed at."
"Your grandfather was a brave man. He used his double-ringed broadsword to chop off countless enemy generals' heads. His bravery and majesty were unmatched. Are you willing to inherit your grandfather's legacy?"
Tang Gang panicked when the emperor said this. He didn't even wait for Tang Mo to reply before he spoke, "Your Majesty, my son is naughty and I'm afraid he can't bear the heavy responsibility."
"I asked you?"
The emperor had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, and the reputation of his unrest in the family had already reached the ears of the emperor. He was extremely partial, and he wanted to see how unbearable this Tang Mo was.
Tang Mo clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have never seen my grandfather's heroic appearance on the battlefield, but I have seen him swinging his sword on horseback. At that moment, I thought that if one day my country needs me, I will be like my grandfather, wearing armor and fighting fearlessly."
"However, the emperor did not give me such an opportunity."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"
Tang Mo said: "Your Majesty is wise and brave, and you are a wise ruler throughout history. Under your rule, our dynasty has prospered and all nations have come to congratulate you. I am lucky to grow up in a prosperous era. Even if I want to kill the enemy and shed blood, I can only treat it as a joke."
“Hahahaha~~~”
The emperor laughed, "You have a mouth that can talk."
"You have gained a lot of experience in the Northern Army. Follow Commander Liao carefully in the future. Maybe there will be a chance for you to wear armor."
"I obey your command."
Tang Mo smiled. He was training in the Beiya Army. According to the routine, he would go to other places with the help of his family when the time was almost up. But the emperor's words completely put him in Liao Zhi's camp. Liao Zhi was a general, and he would be one too in the future.
The emperor glanced at Tang Gang, and after saying a few more words, he sent him and the Duke of Xiangguo away, leaving Liao Zhi to talk to Tang Mo alone.
The emperor asked Tang Mo about the care of the old soldiers in the Marquisate. Tang Mo knew about this matter and answered in detail. As for the current generals in the army, "I don't know, but according to my estimation, my father has no dealings with them."
The emperor said that these were the people who had followed the old marquis in his battles, and it would be a pity for the marquisate to cut off ties with them if the old marquis was no longer around.

Tang Mo's mind was extremely clear at the moment. He immediately understood what the emperor meant and said on the spot that some uncles had been very kind to him in the past. "In the past, I didn't dare to approach those uncles. Now I have a job. Who knows, there will be times in the future when I will need help from my uncles. I should go out more often."
"Um."
The emperor thought Tang Mo was a good person who could read people's expressions and was more pleasing to the eye than Tang Rong, who only talked nonsense and was too pretentious.
After leaving the palace, Tang Mo asked Liao Zhi to help him analyze the emperor's intentions. Now that they were considered his own people, Liao Zhi did not hide anything, but he still reminded Tang Mo, "The emperor will definitely ask you to do something in the future, but you must keep your mouth shut when doing things for the emperor."
"There are some things that you can't even tell your mother and daughter-in-law. You should also prepare more life-saving items just in case."
"The emperor's grace is unpredictable, so be cautious and careful."
Tang Mo nodded, "I am not afraid of danger. After all, opportunities are hard to come by. If I wanted to live a peaceful and mediocre life, I would not join the Beiya Army. I hope the commander will give me more advice in the future."
The two parted at the palace gate. Thinking that there was still a lot of activity in the palace, Tang Mo decided not to go back to duty. As the deputy commander, he still had some power.
Tang Gang was waiting for him in a carriage not far away. He sent someone to call him over. As soon as he arrived, he asked him what the emperor had said to him.
Tang Mo said it was all about the Beiya Army. "There are already a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and with the incident at the Xiangguo Mansion, there are even more things to do."
"That's all?"
Tang Mo nodded, "That's all, father doesn't believe it?"
Tang Gang certainly didn't believe it. He was worried that Tang Mo had violated the old man's wishes. "You know your grandfather's rules. Don't do anything stupid."
Tang Mo took two steps forward, "Grandfather, if the emperor has a different opinion on something, who should I listen to?"
Tang Gang frowned and looked around, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
