Volume 331 of the main text of the Ruyi Young Master: Appointment, Promotion and Etiquette There seems to be something wrong with the feng shui. Tang Ning can swear to God that the carriage that hit and escaped the doctor of the temple was definitely not hired by him.
He wasn't in a hurry to do that yet.
He picked up the buns on the ground, walked out of the door, and threw them away with a look of regret.
Although the filling of the steamed buns was a bit salty, it was still the first time Xiaoxiao had learned to make it, so he was a little reluctant to throw it away like this.
When I was walking back, I passed by a check-in room somewhere. When I walked to the window, I heard someone talking in a low voice.
"Have you heard that Dr. Liu was hit by a carriage when he went out this morning?"
"I've heard it a long time ago. It's only been three days, and three of the four doctors have had troubles. It's so damn evil!"
"Have you noticed that the three adults all got into trouble after they became wedding messengers? Whoever gets this job will be unlucky. They are not wedding messengers, they are simply messengers!"
"Don't always keep an eye on the wedding messenger. Think about it, Mr. Tang has been in the ceremony department for three days, and something happened to one of the doctors every day. It seems that the rumors outside are not false at all."
"Both the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment have killed ministers. Minister Liu is fine. I'm afraid it wasn't the three ministers who blocked the disaster for him..."
…
"Cough!" Tangning coughed heavily outside the window, and immediately there was no sound inside.
No one wants to take the blame for something like this. He can swear with his conscience that the car accident of the doctor in the temple had nothing to do with him.
I don’t know who was behind this, but running away after hitting someone is simply ruining the social atmosphere.
However, that person can be regarded as helping him. Now three of the four doctors have gone, and only one dining department is left. Tang Huai has not yet made specific arrangements. Do you want to take advantage of it first?
After killing them all, how to ensure that Tang Huai will take advantage of him is really a headache.
Catering Department.
"What are you talking about? Mr. Liu was hit by a carriage when he went out in the morning?" Mr. Shanbu was stunned when he heard the news.
A clerk nodded and said, "It must be true. The Vice Minister has already visited Dr. Liu's home."
The doctor of the dining department sat back down in a daze. The doctor of the host and guest department, the etiquette department, and the temple department had troubles one after another within three days. If he said it was a coincidence, he would not believe it even to death. Among the four departments of the etiquette department, he was the only one left.
He was chosen by the doctor. Although he is still sitting in the yamen well now, he feels weak in his heart.
He looked around and frowned suddenly.
"You, put that kettle away."
"That cabinet is a little wobbly, go and pad it up."
"Who told you to put the scissors here? Take them away!"
…
In the study room, Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, came back from outside, knocked on the door, and walked in.
Tang Huai raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Liu?"
"I was hit in the waist by a carriage. The doctor said that I have to stay at home for at least a hundred days." Liu Feng said with some luck: "Fortunately, we haven't reported his name yet, otherwise things would be in trouble."
Tang Huai pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you found the carriage that hit him?"
Liu Feng shook his head and said, "I've already asked someone to check, but there's no news yet."
He paused and said: "The accidents happened one after another to the doctors in the Host and Guest Department, the Rites Department, and the Temple Department. This is no accident. I'm afraid that King Kang didn't want us to have an easy time. There is a 90% chance that the person who injured Mr. Liu is King Kang."
Instigated."
Tang Huai said: "If this is the case, no matter if it is you or the doctor of the Shanbu Department, you will follow in the footsteps of those people."
"Unless we can catch Prince Kang." Liu Feng said with a helpless expression on his face: "Otherwise, His Majesty will not believe it based on mere speculation."
Tang Huai looked out the door and said: "The etiquette preparations for the princess' wedding cannot be delayed any longer, and the candidate for the wedding messenger must be appointed as soon as possible."
"But the wedding envoy must have at least a sixth-grade official position. Apart from the doctor and the lower official in the dining department, there are no suitable candidates for the etiquette department..."
Tang Huai looked at him and asked, "Who said no?"
Liu Feng was startled, and a bright light suddenly flashed through his mind. He bowed his hands and said in admiration: "Your Excellency is wise!"
…
The doctor of the Ministry of Rites was imprisoned, and the host and guest doctor and the doctor of the Ancestral Temple were both sick and injured. Before the official appointment by the court, the manpower of the Ministry of Rites was obviously not enough.
Tang Ning walked around the temple office and visited the host and guest department again.
The only remaining director of the Food Department is also in charge of the Etiquette Department. Half an hour ago, Liu Feng, the Minister of Etiquette, came over personally and asked him to temporarily take over the Temple Department and the Host and Guest Department.
The host and guest department has recently taken on a heavy responsibility and cannot be relaxed. Without the doctor, the affairs within the department are still in order. Tang Ning sat in the chair of the host and guest doctor and flipped through the classics on the table. It has been three days, and the minister finally remembered
, their etiquette department also has a director who can be pushed out to serve as a messenger.
If Tang Huai had realized this earlier, he would not have to waste those medicines, nor would he have to sell his body and dignity in exchange for information.
At the same time, in the palace.
"Tang Ning?" Chen Huang held a letter in his hand, looked down and asked, "Is this the decision of the Ministry of Rites?"
The Minister of Etiquette bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, among the four departments of the Ministry of Etiquette, the host and guest doctor are seriously ill, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites is under investigation, and the doctor of the Temple Department was hit by a carriage when he went out this morning. Only Mr. Tang is qualified for the important task of the wedding messenger."
Emperor Chen frowned. Although he wanted Tangning to go to the Ministry of Etiquette for training, he never thought of letting her serve as a wedding envoy to Chu State. He asked, "Is there anyone else in your Ministry of Etiquette?"
The Minister of Rites continued: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Tang Dynasty is knowledgeable and well-versed in classics. The post of wedding envoy is related to the face of our country, Chen. It cannot be held by officials of the sixth grade or above. Those who are qualified to hold this position and have such abilities will be appointed by the Ministry of Rites."
Among them, no one is more suitable than Mr. Tang."
Emperor Chen's face showed a thoughtful look. He had no doubt that Tang Ning could serve as the wedding messenger. However, the purpose of the Ministry of Rites should be to expel Tang Ning from the Ministry of Rites, and even from the capital. Although this was against
Although it failed to meet his original intention, it may be a good training opportunity for young people who are new to officialdom.
Going on a mission to the Chu State is far more difficult than practicing in the Six Ministries, but it is also a rare opportunity.
He thought for a while and said, "Announce Tangning's entry into the palace."
Tang Ning originally thought that the matter would have to wait at least until after the morning court, but she didn't expect that the Ministry of Rites acted very quickly. When he was packing his things and preparing to go to the Yamen, he received the order from the emperor to summon him.
In the imperial study, Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: "The Ministry of Rites recommends you as the wedding messenger. Are you willing?"
He stood in the hall, cupped his hands and said, "I am willing."
Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: "As a wedding envoy, I will accompany the princess on a mission to Chu State. It will take at least half a year to come back. Have you thought carefully about it?"
Tangning nodded and said, "Everything is subject to the arrangements of His Majesty and the court."
Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, looked at this scene and stood there, a little confused.
He actually admired Lord Shangshu's decision. Lord Shangshu's action eliminated the thorn in the side of the Ministry of Rites in one fell swoop. If King Kang still wanted to take action, he could just use King Kang's hand to get rid of him. If King Kang died down, he would serve as a wedding presenter.
If the envoys go to Chu State, no matter what the outcome is, they will not suffer any loss.
He was already prepared for Tang Ning's strong opposition. When the time comes, he will persuade him in front of His Majesty to put the country first and the righteousness first. If he objects again, he is ignorant of the general situation and may incur consequences.
His Majesty's disgust...
But who would have thought that he would agree so readily?
This made Liu Feng swallow back the words he had spit out in his throat. His face turned blue and white in turns, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"In this case, I agree with the proposal of the Ministry of Rites." Huang Chen nodded, looked at him and said: "From now on, you will serve as the princess's wedding messenger and be responsible for the preparations for the wedding."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and continued: "A sixth-grade director of the Ministry of Etiquette is still not enough to serve as a wedding messenger. Maybe the Chu State Council will doubt our sincerity..."
He pondered for a moment and said: "During the Wei Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy was ordered to draw up a decree, and the Hanlin editor Tang Ning was promoted to be a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and also a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy. He was temporarily appointed as Princess Pingyang's wedding envoy to prepare for the marriage..."
