Chapter 325: Delegating Power to Tang Yan
Looking at the heartfelt words in the letter, even though Tang Yan was a tough man, the softest part of his heart began to tremble.
My eyes are a little wet.
"As a husband, I cannot let my beloved wife be bound. As a father, I cannot let my beloved son be without a mother..."
When he saw this sentence, the deep affection instantly overwhelmed all resistance Tang Yan had towards the word "father".
Elder Ling, who was standing by, seemed to have completely recalled the scene at that time, and sighed, "When I saw Tang Wutian back then, none of his internal organs were intact, he had lost too much blood, and he was completely alive relying on a strong spirit to support himself.
If he hadn't been so obsessed, he would have died at that time. He was also the most iron-blooded man I had ever met in my entire medical career.
Young Master Tang is so outstanding, I have long felt that he looks like an old friend. It turns out that he is the descendant of an old friend!"
Hearing what Mr. Ling said, Tang Yan's heart ached again.
All the internal organs are intact? How is this different from a dead person?
How much hardship has my father gone through over the years in order to find my mother?
Father, you are a man and you must fulfill your responsibilities.
But boy, so is he!
I can also bear the ups and downs of my family!
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yan put the letter away. It took him a long time to calm down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Mr. Ling." Tang Yan expressed his gratitude sincerely.
“It doesn’t matter. In the Imperial City, you only need to obey the royal orders. All other regulations and orders have nothing to do with you.
The royal military power is at your command.
The royal warehouse is at your disposal.
You can control talented people.
I just want a peaceful and prosperous world!" the emperor said in a deep voice.
"As you wish!" Tang Yan nodded.
"I believe you are no less capable than Wu Tian, Xuan'er, you should assist Young Master Tang with all your strength!"
"Yes!" Qingxuan replied.
The emperor waved his hand, and two palace maids came quickly and helped him walk towards the couch.
Seeing that the emperor was about to rest, the few people decided not to disturb him any further and left the side hall together.
Walking out the door, Qingxuan felt a little dazed.
There is no fate in life. I thought I would miss Tang Yan, but I didn't expect that our fathers had such a deep connection. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Mr. Tang, how do you feel about getting promoted and making money?"
"No big deal." Tang Yan snorted coldly.
Qingxuan was not angry. With a smug smile on her face, she led the way and said, "Let's go and talk about what to do next."
"Wait!" Seeing the two people about to leave, Old Ling suddenly stopped them.
"What else does Mr. Ling want to say?" Qingxuan asked curiously.
"I want to ask Master Tang, the sixth-level elixirs you mentioned before, such as the Supreme Poison Purifying Pill and the Refreshing Fragrance Pill, the seventh-level elixirs such as the Spiritual Heart and Wonderful Words Pill, the Heavenly Charming Snow Flower Pill, the Dream Yuan Hui Zhen Pill, and the eighth-level elixirs such as the Penglai Immortal Pill, the Nine Transformations Rebirth Pill, and the Blood Essence Fire Nirvana Pill, do they really exist?"
Glancing at Elder Ling, Tang Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Although he knew that this was not what Elder Ling really wanted to ask, he still nodded and said, "It's true. Elder Ling, do you have any other questions?"
Sure enough, after a moment's hesitation, Elder Ling finally asked his purpose: "You said before that the last step of the herbal medicine I prepared was not to use a low fire, so what kind of fire did I use?"
Although Old Ling had a bad attitude towards him when they first met, it was also for the Emperor's consideration, and he was young, so he couldn't blame Old Ling.
Besides, it was Elder Ling who saved his father's life, and this friendship was more important than a mountain.
He did not hide anything at the moment and said frankly: "Pills are pills, and medicine preparation is medicine preparation. Although the two are related, there is a very clear difference.
Pills require fire, but fire cannot be used when preparing medicine. Anything that uses fire is a pill. So the last step should be to use true qi to blend.
In a natural state, using the true qi as a guide, allowing the medicinal materials to blend with each other, the effect can be maximized. "
After saying that, Tang Yan and Qing Xuan left.
Elder Ling stood there thinking about it for a while, and suddenly his mind became clear. Just as he was about to thank Tang Yan, he realized that Tang Yan had already walked away. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "With this knowledge, this mentality, and the whole listening to incense, who can stop you?"
Tang Yan followed Qingxuan for a while and came to an artificial lake.
The lakeside was dotted with flowers, which was quite elegant. The two walked to a bamboo pavilion by the lake, and someone immediately served them tea and cakes.
After dismissing everyone, Qing Xuan said, "This time, my father invited you to assist the royal family. It was a helpless move. I hope you don't mind."
"Since I have agreed, I will not look back. I want to know the current situation of Tingxiang." Tang Yan said solemnly: "I want detailed and true information!"
Nodding, Qing Xuan said truthfully: "There are several factors that maintain the stability of a country: people's hearts, financial resources, and military strength."
"The people's hearts are still stable for the time being. I heard that the Xiang royal family has not done anything out of the ordinary, and everyone still supports them. It's just that in terms of financial and military strength..." Qingxuan's eyes flashed with worry, and finally gritted his teeth and said frankly: "It's not as good as before."
"I had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the court, but my father was suddenly poisoned and became seriously ill. Qingya was still young at the time and did not know much about court affairs.
The left prime minister took advantage of the situation, seized power and profit by trickery.
The power held by the Left Prime Minister now even exceeds that of the Royal Family. All he needs is the support of the people, and the Left Prime Minister can completely overthrow the Royal Family!"
"The Chu family, Xu family and Kong family hold the military power of Tingxiang. Among them, the Kong family is the direct descendant of my imperial court, while the Xu family and the Chu family have been recruited by the left prime minister.
In terms of external defense, the Kong family has always been the main force, and the other two families have deployed troops in the imperial city and its surrounding areas.
In terms of the military strength within the Imperial City, Zuo Xiang poses a great threat to the Imperial Family, which is one of the reasons why we have not yet taken action against Zuo Xiang!"
"Among the three major spiritual academies, Qinglong Academy is a branch of our imperial city and has provided a large number of talents to the royal family. Although the other two academies have also provided talents to the royal family in recent years, the top students have all been secretly sent to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Therefore, Qinglong Academy must perform well in this East Region Competition to enhance its reputation and attract outstanding talents to study at Qinglong Academy!"
"The three major forces: Purple Bamboo City, Luosha Sect, and Juxian Palace, although they are all powerful, have always been classified as Jianghu forces and are generally not used by the court. If you can borrow the power of Purple Bamboo City, it will be of great help to the imperial city."
"The most profitable industry today is elixirs. I've heard that Tiandan Mansion, the largest elixir-making power in Xiang Country, has an unclear relationship with Zuo Xiang. Over the years, I wonder how much financial resources Zuo Xiang has accumulated."
"As for other businesses, they are barely enough to cover the expenses of Tingxiang."
"Is it really just barely enough?" Tang Yan suddenly interrupted.
Qing Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and smiled bitterly: "We can only barely maintain basic expenditures, and we still have to consume the surplus grain in the national treasury every year. Therefore, the financial situation is not optimistic."
"Is this the life of glory that the royal family promised me?" Tang Yan sneered.
Qingxuan's expression darkened, and she said apologetically: "If we can rise, the Tang family will prosper forever."
"What forces can I mobilize now?" Tang Yan asked again.
