"You said it was fine, but why did you say you were sick?"
"What a pity. If Mr. Wang is not ill, it would be a great achievement to serve as the wedding messenger this time."
"Sickness comes like a mountain. Who could have predicted such a thing? I can only say that Wang Langzhong is unlucky..."
…
When she was in the Hubu and Xingbu yamen, Tang Ning always brought her own meals, but she would still eat in the designated dining hall.
He occupied a table by himself, and there was not enough space in the dining hall. Even if the officials of the Ministry of Rites squatted on the ground, they would not share the table with him.
Listening to everyone's whispers, Tang Ning finished her meal, wiped her mouth, and walked out of the dining hall.
The cause of Wang Langzhong's diarrhea was naturally poisoning. The amount of medicine he used was much heavier than Xiao Jue's. It might cause diarrhea for three days and cause more pain in certain parts of the body, but it was not fatal.
After three days, the effect of the medicine will disappear. Pay attention to replenishing energy and salt water. He can regain his strength by lying in bed for two days. However, if he chooses to take the medicine prescribed by Ling Yihong, he will probably be weak enough to stop taking the medicine.
The Ministry of Etiquette also acted very quickly. When Tang Ning went to the Yamen the next day, the new wedding messenger had already been appointed, and it was Chen Zheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette.
Although the four doctors of the Ministry of Rites have the same rank, in terms of actual status and real power in their hands, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites is the leader.
The doctor of the Host and Guest Department could not serve as the wedding messenger because of persistent diarrhea, so the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette could not use the same method, otherwise, fools would wonder if someone had tampered with it.
On the second day in the Ministry of Rites, no one said a word to him. Fortunately, the thing he was least afraid of was loneliness. When he got bored, he would review "The Ming Dynasty" and "Nirvana in Fire" again, watch a few episodes, and then go home.
.
He couldn't just watch Zhao Yingying jump into the fire pit, nor could he implicate himself in it, or destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries. This was difficult to think about and even harder to do, but no matter what method he adopted, he had to do it.
Get the position of wedding messenger.
Only in this way can future actions be carried out easily.
The doctor of the host and guest department could not get out of bed this month. He had to sleep with him three times in exchange for the advantage of Chen Zheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette.
In addition to Chen Zheng, there are still two doctors left in the Ministry of Rites, one is the minister, and the other is the minister. Officials below the sixth rank are not qualified to be marriage envoys.
As the Minister of Rites, Tang Huai could not go to Chu State as a wedding envoy. Therefore, there were only three competitors left for him, Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, the Doctor of the Shanbu, and the Doctor of the Temple. There was still a long way to go.
Walk……
While he was sitting in the room thinking about something, Zhong Yi and Su Ru walked in from outside, and both walked to sit next to him.
Zhong Yi looked at him and asked, "My husband has been absent-minded these past two days. Is there something on your mind?"
Tangning looked at them and asked, "If a very good friend is about to jump into a pit of fire, wouldn't it be bad for a friend to stand by and watch?"
Zhong Yi looked at him and said: "If he is a friend, of course he will be saved."
Tangning asked again: "What if there is a big risk in saving her?"
Su Ru looked at him and said: "Brother Xiao Ning is so smart. If there is a risk that cannot be avoided, he will not be impulsive."
Zhong Yi held his hand and asked, "Ms. sir, what happened?"
There was no need to hide this matter from them, so Tang Ning told them about the Crown Prince of Chu.
"The princess is our friend, and we don't want her to jump into the fire pit..." Zhong Yi looked at him and asked: "But how confident is your husband in saving the princess from the fire pit?"
"It depends on the human effort." Tangning looked at them, thought for a moment, and said, "I dare not say 100%, but the success is still there, but if I decide, I will go to Chu State..."
Although there was some reluctance in Zhong Yi's eyes, she still said: "It is related to the princess's lifelong happiness, so even a trip to Chu State is worth it."
"So, you agree?"
"The princess is also our friend." Zhong Yi and Su Ru looked at each other and said, "Besides, she has called us sister so many times, and it's too much to watch her jump into the fire pit even though she knows that our husband has something to do.
I'm so ashamed of her..."
The whole family was so reasonable and kind-hearted, Tangning's heart was immediately filled with pride...
Zhong Yi seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly looked at Tang Ning and said, "The princess seems to be more than just friends to her husband, Xiao Ru, what do you think?"
Su Ru nodded and said: "I think the princess likes my husband a little bit. The way she looks at my husband is different from others."
"Nonsense!" Tangning glared at them and said, "How could Princess Jinzhiyuye like me? Moreover, she is only seventeen years old. A seventeen-year-old girl knows what liking means. A little girl can only..."
Su Ru looked down at him and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, I am also seventeen years old."
Zhong Yi tugged on his sleeve and said: "When I got married to my husband, I was only sixteen..."
Tang Ning looked around, and for a moment, she suddenly felt that he was a beast.
Especially the moment he stood up and closed the door, he looked more like a beast among beasts.
…
Prince Kang's Mansion.
"Why did he go to the Ministry of Rites?" King Kang stood in the palace with a look of doubt on his face: "It's impossible for him not to know that the Ministry of Rites is the territory of the Tang family. Is he knowing that there is a tiger and preferring Hushan? Or is there something between her and the Tang family?
Dirty?"
A person next to him said: "Your Highness, it seems that he has never explained anything to Your Highness since the last incident at the Ministry of Justice..."
King Kang looked at a middle-aged man behind him and asked, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and said: "Although I don't know why Mr. Tang chose the Ministry of Rites, he never does anything in vain. There must be some purpose, but I don't know."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man ran in from outside the palace and said loudly: "Your Highness, there is a letter sent by Mr. Tang."
After King Kang took the letter, he opened it and glanced at it, with a look of interest on his face, and murmured: "Chen Zheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites..., although he is only a small doctor, the Ministry of Rites are all from the Tang family, so he can
Except for one, there is only one!”
After a while, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became lively.
"It turns out that we wrongly blamed Mr. Tang."
"He went to the Ministry of Rites because he wanted to take action against the Tang family members in the Ministry of Rites."
"There is a piece of iron bucket from the Ministry of Rites. This time, I can make a hole in the iron bucket and get it out!"
While everyone was talking, the middle-aged man named Xu walked out of the hall and returned to his room.
A young man followed him into the room. As soon as he poured him a cup of tea, he heard him sigh softly.
He looked at the middle-aged man and asked doubtfully: "Why do you sigh, sir?"
The middle-aged man looked out the window and murmured: "You don't doubt what kind of person you are when you employ people. If you treat each other with sincerity, it may be a big help. Otherwise, it will just be mutual use. It's a pity..."
…
In the imperial study room, Emperor Chen looked at the book handed over by a certain imperial censor, slapped it heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Chen Zheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, how brave you are!"
Chen Zheng was a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and the imperial examination was also among his duties. The impeachment memorial said that during the imperial examination four years ago, a certain candidate asked someone to take the examination on his behalf. The examination of the imperial examination was extremely strict.
It would have been discovered during the physical examination, but Chen Zheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, took advantage of his position and made arrangements so that his nephew, a candidate, could pass the examination on his behalf and has not been exposed so far.
The imperial examination is the most important way for the country to select officials. It must be fair and impartial. Any fraud will be severely punished. The penalty for fraud is no less than the felony of murder and arson.
He looked at Wei Jian and asked, "Have you found out?"
Wei Jiandao: "The person who took the exam has been found. He confessed to what happened back then. The nephew of the doctor in the Ministry of Rites was sent to the county magistrate a year ago and has been sent to get it."
"Chen Zheng?" Chen Huang repeated the name and asked, "Have I heard of him somewhere?"
Wei Jian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Zheng, the doctor in the Ministry of Rites, is the second wedding envoy selected by the Minister of the Tang Dynasty."
Emperor Chen threw the memorial aside and said: "Xuan Tang Huai enters the palace."
