Chapter 530 Tang Mo, who craves power
Tang Mo was a little depressed, but thinking that Xin An would give birth in a few months, he was glad that it was not his turn. What would happen if he missed the birth of his child? For the rest of his life, if he made Xin An unhappy, he could imagine what she would say. "However, Liao Zhi is going to take a group of people away and give me another group of people. During his absence, Zhuang Shi and I will be fully responsible for the security and defense of the capital."
"Why you?"
Xin An felt that many people in the Beiya Army had more experience than these two.
Tang Mo said: "It's because of my status. I come from a marquis' mansion, so I have a say with the people in the court. When I encounter problems, they are willing to give me some face. Isn't it better than those brave men who are like headless flies?"
As long as you have the status, even if you don’t have as much experience as those people, you can still be better than them. This is the importance of reincarnation.
"Okay, so you'll be even busier from now on, right?"
Tang Mo nodded. "Although I have the status, it will take some effort to convince those people. I will try to upgrade half a level after Liao Zhi comes back. Even if I can't get promoted, it will be good to have more power in my hands."
If you haven't experienced power yourself, you won't think it's that great. But once you have it in your hands, you will want more.
"All right."
Xin An sighed. This man, if he doesn't make progress and stays at home, it's not good. But if he's too ambitious and busy all day, it's also uncomfortable. "Just remember that you still have me at home."
Tang Mo laughed and put his arm around her shoulders. "It's just that I have more errands to do. I'm not tied down. I'll come back when I'm supposed to. I'm not Liao Zhi."
"It's really not easy for Liao Zhicai. He fought his way out of a dead end. His honor and disgrace all depend on the emperor. He has no way out."
"He has done so many things over the years. Without the Emperor's protection, those court officials would be able to tear him to pieces."
"Now that I think about it, I really should thank my grandfather."
His grandfather spent half his life in the military and made great military achievements. Although he suffered from illness in his old age, he left behind decades of protection for his children and grandchildren.
"I have to learn from my grandfather and leave something for my children."
Xin An felt that he had expressed too much emotion today, so he stood up and patted his shoulder, "I asked you to find out who impeached Tang Rong, and you have any news."
"have."
The man who impeached Tang Rong was called Zhao Tong, and he was Tang Rong's superior in terms of power and responsibility. "Sixth-rank Tongpan, this man came from a poor family, was upright, and was appreciated by Prime Minister Ouyang."
"I see."
Xin An understood, "If it weren't for Prime Minister Ouyang's relationship, this memorial would not have been delivered to the emperor. I wonder what his next plan is?"
"Any plans will not conflict with us."
Tang Mo has figured out the relationship here. "We each do our own thing, and there is no need to communicate with each other. Besides, we don't need anyone else to help us with our grudge. We can do the last step ourselves."
Xin An hummed. She had become more and more lazy since she got pregnant. She often felt uncomfortable and seldom went out. Her sources of information were not as good as before. At this time, Tang Mo had to work harder to support her.
After a night passed, before dawn the old lady sent Ganlu to ask Wang for help. Although Xin An temporarily comforted her, she couldn't help but think too much when she calmed down. While Ganlu was away, she asked the little maid to go to Chunhua Courtyard. When she learned that Tao Yiran had returned to her parents' home yesterday, she felt even more uneasy and was sure that something was hidden from her in the mansion.
Tang Gang had not yet left the house, and Wang asked for his opinion, "The old lady wants to know, and I can't hide it from her, but if I let her know, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it."
Wang didn't want the old lady to know so early, as she didn't know what ideas she might have. If anyone had to say anything, it should be Tang Gang himself who said it.
Tang Gang thought for a moment and said, "It's better to keep it a secret for a while. Mother's health is more important."
"I'll try my best."
After seeing Tang Gang and Wang off, they went to Chunrong Hall. The autumn morning was cool with a faint scent of osmanthus. Ganlu walked ahead lightly, not even daring to turn around and look Wang in the eye.
She could clearly feel that Wang no longer had the same sincerity towards the old lady as before. Although she was well-mannered, her words were impeccable and she was polite and considerate, she could feel that she was doing it out of responsibility in her heart.
"The old lady is waiting for you in the house, please come in."
When Wang came in, the old lady was having a meal. Smiling, Wang went forward and took the chopsticks to serve the old lady, serving her attentively. She waited until the old lady put down her chopsticks before letting her sit down. "You can have some."
"yes."
The daughter-in-law served her mother-in-law and then ate herself. There was nothing to be particular about. Wang smiled and sat down, ate a few bites, then took a bowl of bird's nest that Ganlu offered and drank it. Then she stood up and helped the old lady to talk.
"I see that mother is not in good spirits, but is there anything troubling her?"
After the old lady sat down, she asked Tao Yiran, "Did she do something out of line again?"
Wang didn't admit or deny it, she just said that the old lady of the Tao family suddenly became unwell, "It happened in the past two days, maybe it was a moment of last breath, when she was conscious she kept talking about wanting to see her granddaughter, so we sent someone to pick her up."
"Not good?"
The old lady sighed, "No wonder the eldest son's wife is not here."

Wang said that she and Tang Gang had visited the Tao family yesterday, "They are holding on with bated breath. The Tao family is already preparing for the funeral."
"Nothing else?"
The old lady always felt uneasy.
"No, don't worry too much, everyone in the family is fine."
The old lady nodded reluctantly. As soon as Wang left, she asked Ganlu to invite her old man from the house. She was relieved when she got the same news as what Wang said. Ganlu couldn't help but persuade her a few more words, and then the old lady told her why she was like this today.
"I dreamt about the old man last night. He glared at me. I could clearly feel his anger and that he was blaming me for not teaching my son well."
"Do you think he is reminding me of something? Something must have happened in this mansion. I don't know."
She didn't dare to think that the old man would blame her.
Ganlu said it was just a dream and it didn't mean anything. "Don't think too much. Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to stay in the temple for a while? Now the weather is good, it's a good time."
The old lady thought about it for a while and nodded, "Okay, you pack up and ask the second son to take us there when he has time."
"Why."
Ganlu successfully persuaded the old lady again and planned to let her stay for a few more days before coming back. She always felt that something was going to happen in this mansion.
The sun was rising high in the sky, and the capital city was as bustling as usual. The news of the great victory in the northwest had been reported back, and the people were jubilant about the prosperity of their country. Suddenly, a loud shout startled the people who were talking, "Go and have a look. The government has posted a notice. The title of Pingshun Bo has been stripped, and the whole family will be executed."
“So soon?”
It wasn’t too long since the incident happened, and many people thought it would drag on for some time.
"Just posted, very hot."
After getting the exact answer, many people headed towards the government office. Regardless of whether they could read or not, they all wanted to see it with their own eyes.
