He secretly thought that Chen Changfeng had never been to the Tang Mansion once in a year. This sudden visit, Tang Lin, did not believe that Chen Changfeng was just here for a visit.
Tang Xueer was also surprised that today Chen Changfeng suddenly said that he wanted to accompany him here without giving any specific reasons.
"Actually, I came here this time to ask Mr. Tang for help." Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
Tang Lin frowned. Chen Changfeng had never come to visit him. Today he finally came, but he still wanted his father to help him.
How could he open his mouth like this?
Tang Mingren also looked startled when he heard this. Chen Changfeng and himself were almost like two strangers.
He came to ask for help. What help could he do?
Why would Chen Changfeng think that he would help him?
"I'm just an old man from the mountains. He's old and frail. I'm afraid he won't be able to help the prince." Tang Mingren smiled lightly.
He had begun to reject Chen Changfeng in his words.
"Dad..." Tang Xueer wanted to put in a good word for Chen Changfeng, but was held back by Tang Lin.
"Mr. Tang was joking. Who doesn't know that Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji have great ambitions. I came here today to ask Mr. Tang for help and take up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Chen Changfeng stood up and held hands with Tang Mingren.
Serve as Minister of Civil Service?
Tang Mingren's eyes instantly darkened.
He retired from this position back then.
As for the reason, I don’t want to mention it anymore.
Moreover, just before Chen Changfeng and others came over, someone had warned him in advance that Tang Mingren would be destroyed if he dared to take up the position of Minister of Civil Affairs.
Tang Mingren didn't dare to offend that person, and all the Tang Mansion's business depended on that person's influence.
"Prince, my father will never agree to take up the position of Minister of Civil Affairs."
"Prince, you'd better go back. If nothing happens in the future, don't come here again." Tang Lin stood up and issued the eviction order with Chen Changfeng again.
Chen Changfeng looked at Tang Lin and saw a trace of worry on his face.
Chen Changfeng didn't see him when he came in just now and said that Tang Mingren would be appointed as the Minister of Civil Affairs. Tang Lin actually started to worry.
Chen Changfeng suddenly realized that someone must have told Tang Mingren and his son about the position of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Furthermore, the good-natured Tang Mansion is closed and does not even want to see its own daughter.
Obviously, the Tang family must have been threatened!
In an instant, Chen Changfeng understood the general outline of the matter. He ignored Tang Lin's expulsion order and continued, "Is it the second prince or the third prince?"
As soon as Chen Changfeng said these words, Tang Mingren's pupils narrowed slightly, and then quickly regained his composure.
"I don't understand what the prince means. I'm very happy that the prince can come today. However, he is old and weak, so he can't talk for too long. The prince should go back early." Tang Mingren waved his hand and motioned for Chen Changfeng to hurry up.
leave.
"Dad, what happened?"
"You tell the prince directly, the prince is very powerful." Tang Xueer was a little anxious.
She also saw that something was wrong with her father and brother today, and there must be something worrying them.
"Isn't everything okay, dad?" Tang Mingren looked at Tang Xueer dotingly, and said, "You should go back with the prince as soon as possible."
"father……"
"Xueer." Tang Xueer was about to persuade her father again, but was stopped by Chen Changfeng.
Chen Changfeng looked around at the courtyard of the Tang Mansion behind him, and saw the servant standing next to him with a sad look on his face, slapping the dust off his body with his hands in boredom.
"Mr. Tang, the third prince threatens you with Bing Jing, right?" Chen Changfeng suddenly spoke and looked at Tang Mingren.
The expression on Tang Lin's face suddenly changed.
Tang Mingren's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Chen Changfeng again, and then said slowly: "Prince, you are thinking too much."
Chen Changfeng didn't care about Tang Mingren's cover-up and continued: "It is now October. According to the ice ceremony time every year, the Tang Mansion should start purchasing ice cubes from Zhao State in the north during these days and transport them to the Tang Mansion Ice Cave in the capital.
Save it for next year.”
"This is a time when all Tang family members should be excited and positive."
"But I see that the servants of the Tang Dynasty are listless and have sad faces. Obviously something has gone wrong."
"Dad, is it really the third prince who threatens you?" Tang Xueer's expression changed and she revealed an angry look.
The third prince had dealt with Chen Changfeng frequently before, and now he was threatening his father and brother?
It's simply too much!
"There is no such thing at all. His Royal Highness, please go back as soon as possible." Tang Mingren was surprised that Chen Changfeng knew that he was being threatened with only a few clues.
But Tang Mingren still didn't plan to talk to Chen Changfeng about this matter.
Even if I tell Chen Changfeng, what's the use?
The third prince sent someone to warn him about Tang Mingren.
If he dared to help Chen Changfeng, or agreed to serve as the Minister of Civil Affairs, he would have the border troops directly intercept all the commercial vehicles of the Tang Dynasty.
When summer comes, if Bing Jing cannot surrender, his Tang Mansion will definitely be dealt with by the emperor.
"Tang Mingren, you have lived for such a long time, are you filled with shit?" Chen Changfeng suddenly cursed.
Several people were stunned.
"You bastard, how dare you talk to my father like this." Tang Lin came to his senses, became furious, and was about to fight Chen Changfeng.
"Brother!" Tang Xueer quickly stopped Tang Lin.
Tang Mingren was stunned by Chen Changfeng's scolding. After a moment, he came back to his senses with an angry look on his face.
Chen Changfeng married his daughter and only came to visit him once a year.
I finally got here today, and I immediately beat up the servants in my house.
Now he is scolding Tang Mingren for being out of his mind and pretending to be full of shit.
Incomprehensible, really incomprehensible.
"What did you just say?" Tang Mingren lowered his voice, and there was already a visible gloom on his face.
"The third prince's threat to you is nothing more than sending an order to the border army to stop your Tang Mansion's ice-carrying commercial vehicle from returning."
"This time you were threatened by him in this way, what about next time?"
"Home... Mr. Tang, let me ask you now, if one day the third prince threatens you again and asks you to help him deal with me, the prince, will you do it or not?"
"If you don't dare, he will make your Tang Mansion disappear from the capital!" Chen Changfeng stared into Tang Mingren's eyes.
Tang Mingren's pupils shrank violently.
He didn't expect that Chen Changfeng had completely guessed it.
He even guessed that the third prince threatened him with border troops intercepting Tang's commercial vehicles.
Tang Mingren felt that he had indeed underestimated Chen Changfeng before.
Chen Changfeng, who can instantly guess that he is being threatened, or even how he is being threatened, is definitely not an ordinary person.
But what could Chen Changfeng guess?
The third prince is the Minister of War. If he wants to deal with his Tang family, it is just a matter of waving his hand.
There was absolutely no way for me to resist.
"Dad, is this really the case?" Tang Xueer asked angrily.
"Sister, don't ask, dad has been sighing all morning because of this matter." Tang Lin shook his head, looking helpless.
"Xue'er, dad really has no choice. The lives of hundreds of people in the Tang family are all in dad's hands."
"The third prince sent someone here this morning to warn me not to help the prince or agree to take up the post of Minister of Civil Affairs."
"They even asked me to hand over Fengxue Bookstore to them."
"What?"
"Fengxue Bookstore?" Chen Changfeng himself was stunned when he heard this.
Chen Changfeng felt a bit like a newcomer.
Doesn’t Fengxue Bookstore belong to you?
Why did he become a member of the Tang family, and the third prince also had the idea of Fengxue Bookstore?
