Tangning's sick leave application officially came into effect after it was signed and filed by Minister Han and Minister Qian.
After returning to Duzhiya and saying hello to Mr. Chen, he left the household department.
Chen Shilang was naturally pleased to hear this. Tang Ning was nominally his subordinate in Duzhi Yamen, but as a subordinate, he, as a superior, could not afford to offend him.
Moreover, during the period when he left the capital, under the leadership of the other party, the Duzhi Yamen completed an incredible task that he thought was impossible. The officials in the Yamen respected him and obeyed him, but he, a doctor, was superfluous.
The petty officials of Duzhi Yamen walked out of the Yamen one after another to say goodbye.
Although Chief Tang had not been at Duzhi Yamen for a long time, he impressed everyone in the Yamen with his knowledge and broadmindedness.
Of course, the most important thing is that after he leaves, they will fall back from delicacies to cabbage and steamed buns...
Tang Ning's departure made officials above the household minister heave a sigh of relief.
As long as he is in the household department, all those with higher official positions than him will have to worry about it. Who knows, one day they will add a significant mark to his record.
Tang Ning was originally a redundant head of the Household Department. His departure only caused some turmoil in the Household Department. The entire capital remained calm as before.
No one noticed his departure, just as no one noticed that late one night, the closed city gate of the capital suddenly opened, and more than ten knights ran out of the palace and secretly left the capital.
This is the first time Tang Ning has been so free since she officially joined the Hanlin Academy.
Of course, although there was nothing important to do, he did not allow himself to be idle.
I have long wanted to learn from the old beggar how to use poison. It may not necessarily be used to harm others, but at least it can ensure that I will not be poisoned.
At this time, a full ten days have passed since his vacation, and there is still no movement in the capital. However, the spies sent out by the imperial court must have arrived in Bozhou and other places. If the trip goes well, they may have already set off back to the capital.
The people of the capital still worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and hundreds of officials went to court. No one knew that behind this seemingly peaceful scene, a bloody storm was already brewing.
There is no need to go to work. In addition to practicing and studying every day, I live a life without shame or shame, which is leisurely and comfortable.
In more than half a year, Liu Laoer has integrated all the beggars in the capital together. The beggars have changed from a loose group to an organized and disciplined one. Of course, organized beggars are still beggars. They are of little use for the time being.
Tang Ning had no use for them, so she let Liu Laoer develop freely for the time being.
The old beggar took Xiaoxiao out, saying that he would take her to practice for three days and learn some survival skills in the wild.
The old beggar had long ago taught Qinqi, calligraphy, painting and poetry and wine a joint attack technique. Whether there were two or three people, or five or six people, there were different formations and moves.
Although the girls had no martial arts skills, they were good at dancing and learned quickly. When the six of them joined forces, it was difficult for Tang Ning to cope.
From this point of view, in time, when they have achieved success, there will be no problem in protecting Xiaoru and Xiaoyi.
He was sitting in the pavilion looking at a book of poison that the old beggar threw to him casually. Xiao Jue walked in from outside, walked up to him, and said mysteriously: "I had a wet dream last night."
When he said this, his face turned a little red, but he was not shy, but obviously excited.
Wet dreams are a normal manifestation of boys' puberty, but for Xiao Jue, it was the first time the iron tree blossomed.
After nearly a year of hard work, he finally looked like a man. No matter how excited and happy he was, it was not surprising.
Tangning cupped her hands and said, "Congratulations."
Unexpectedly, one day, he would actually congratulate others on their wet dreams. This feeling is really strange.
Xiao Jue excitedly patted his shoulder and said, "We will have a banquet tonight. Just wait for me for a while. I'll come find you and we'll go there together."
Tang Ning did not expect that Xiao Jue was not excited enough on his own. He actually wanted to celebrate with a drink. There was no one else in the capital, no, the entire Chen Kingdom, except him.
After Xiao Jue shared the news and left, Qing'er jumped in from outside, handed an invitation to Tang Ning, and said, "Uncle, this is from the person who often gives us gifts."
Tangning opened the invitation and realized that tonight was King Kang's dinner party.
In recent months, King Kang has been very prosperous and has been quite active. Whether it is among the people or the court, the direction of public opinion is biased towards him.
Anyway, I have nothing to do in the evening, so I might as well go to Tiantianju for a meal. After dinner, I will go to Su Mei’s place to sit for a while...
Natural home.
When Tang Ning and Xiao Jue came in, King Kang stood up to greet them, "Master Tang, Captain Xiao, you are here, sit down quickly..."
The two seats closest to King Kang are reserved for Tang Ning and Xiao Jue.
Tang Ning had met most of the other people at the table, but she only knew their names. She didn't know which family they belonged to.
However, King Kang's main supporters were the powerful people in the capital, and the fathers' families of these people were not simple.
During the banquet, the glasses were exchanged. As the host, King Kang was served a lot of wine. After three drinks, King Kang put down his glass and sighed gloomily.
Someone said in surprise: "His Highness is in the limelight now and has won the support of many courtiers. He is the king of stability. Why is His Highness sighing?"
King Kang filled the cup with wine again and said: "Although I have temporarily gained some advantages, King Duan has not broken his muscles. With the Tang family as the backbone, they have many party members in the court, almost all over the six tribes.
The king is far inferior to him."
Someone said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The Tang family's gang members have been slowly attracted over the years. Your Highness's reputation in the court is now unparalleled. However, the Tang family and Prince Duan are retreating steadily. The courtiers are all smart."
People, as long as His Highness pays enough sincerity, they will know what choice they should make."
King Kang thought for a while and said, "What do you mean..."
The man said: "Everyone in the world is prosperous. If King Duan can bribe them, so can we. Now that King Duan is in a downturn, it is a good time for His Highness to attract people's hearts. Why don't Your Highness allow them to use heavy profits to win a few from the six ministries?"
Come here personally and use it for us?"
"High profits?" Upon hearing this, King Kang twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Tang Ning with a vague look on his face, hesitation on his face.
The man hurriedly said: "Your Highness, everything you do in this world has to pay a price. If we choose well, we can get back what we invested in the early stage..."
King Kang thought for a while, seemed to have something on his mind, and said, "In your opinion, who among the six tribes should we win over?"
The man thought about it carefully and said: "The Ministry of Rites is the back garden of the Tang family. We can't get in. Besides, it's useless to win over the people in the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of War is all generals. If we can't win them over, we don't dare to win over them either.
There is no need to win over the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice. If you want to win over, you still need to win over the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. As long as Your Highness can win over a minister, it will be much easier to do things in the future."
King Kang knew that it would be a great joy if someone from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husband could stand by his side, but the real power of the ministers of these two ministries is still higher than that of other ministers, and how easy it is to win them over?
He looked at the man and asked: "Who else can win over the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel?"
"Your Highness, the Fang family has two of the four ministers of the Ministry of Hubu and the Ministry of Personnel. However, the Fang family has never been involved in party disputes and is not easy to talk to. However, Han Ming, the minister of the Ministry of Hubu, is an excellent target to win over. The Han family is in
The capital does not have a profound background, and he is not from the Duanwang family. If His Highness can win over him, it will be of great benefit to His Highness’s future affairs..."
"This person is a good candidate." Prince Kang suddenly looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Master Tang is in the Ministry of Revenue now. I wonder if I can have a conversation with this Minister Han..."
Before Tang Ning could swallow a mouthful of food, King Kang immediately said: "The position of the Ministry of Revenue is extraordinary. I can't take action personally. I still need to trouble Mr. Tang. I will prepare a generous gift tomorrow. Mr. Tang can try to win over me first."
Mr. Han..."
Tangning finally swallowed the food and said, "Your Highness, this..."
The person who advised King Kang said: "It's just a message. Mr. Tang won't reject it too, right?"
Tang Ning looked around and found that everyone was looking at him. King Kang's eyes were full of expectations. If he refused at this moment, there would be no convincing reason, and he would immediately become the target of public criticism.
But this matter is still a secret among secrets for the time being, and not a word can be revealed.
He drank some water to moisten his throat, looked at King Kang and others, nodded, and said, "Then let me try..."
