Chapter four hundred and seventy first inquire about individuals
Tang Ning and Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, had no grievances, but just now in front of Emperor Chen and all the civil and military officials, he deliberately set a trap for him with ulterior motives and evil intentions...
How could the dignified Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General be bullied to his head?
Emperor Chen moved very quickly. Just now, an imperial edict came from the palace. From now on, he will be Zuo Xiaowei's Zhonglang General.
According to the custom in the Forbidden Army, generals generally have a false title, and generals are mostly sent abroad, so he is the actual person in charge of Zuo Xiaowei.
Of course, he also knew what Chen Huang meant. He promoted him to this position in an exceptional way because he wanted him to make some achievements in Zuo Xiaowei.
Xiao Jue hid the banknote, then looked at Tang Ning and said, "I am also a right-hand general now. As long as I can be promoted to a middle-rank general next year, I will have the confidence to become a general within three years..."
Tang Ning glanced at him and asked, "If you are the lieutenant general, what will I do?"
"You will be a general." Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "When the time comes, our two swords will be combined and we will be invincible among the Sixteen Guards..."
Tangning waved her hand: "You can just be a bitch by yourself. I have something else to do and I need to go out..."
The Sixteenth Guard Competition was over, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At the Ministry of War, there were no other important events at the end of the year except for the competition. Tangning could rest at home for a while.
When he went out and walked to the door of Tiantianju, he accidentally met Tang Shui and went in with her.
In the hidden courtyard, Tang Yu held Tang Shui's hand and asked, "What is Shui'er busy with these days?"
Tang Shuidao: "I went to my grandma's house with my mother and just came back yesterday."
Tang Yu thought of something, looked at her and asked, "It's almost the end of the year, and your birthday is coming soon."
Tang Shui looked at her, frowned and said, "There are still two months left."
"After all, you're not too young." Tang Yu looked at her and asked, "Tell my sister-in-law if you have any young talents you like in your heart?"
"No..." Tang Shui frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, do you really expect me to get married?"
"When I held you in my arms, you couldn't even speak, but you have grown so big in a blink of an eye..." Tang Yu just held her hair, looked at Su Mei beside her, and said, "Women always
You are going to get married, and you and Mei'er can't wait any longer..."
Su Mei is three years older than Tang Ning and two years older than Tang Shui. Even Tang Yaoyao is considered an old girl. The two of them, who are three or four years older than Tang Yaoyao, are 100% leftover girls.
It's just that Su Mei can't get married because she doesn't want to marry. All she wants is a word, and the men in the capital who want to marry her can be lined up from the east city gate to the west city gate and back again.
Tang Shui cannot get married. Her reputation in the capital is even worse than that of Lu Ya. Now that Lu Ya has been taken in by Xiao Jue, she is the only witch left in the capital. Who dares to marry her unless she is a living person?
Tired of it...
Tang Shui keenly caught the raised corners of Tang Ning's mouth, looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
Her expression made Tangning aware of the danger, so she stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going out first."
When he walked to the front yard, Su Mei followed from behind and said, "Congratulations, General Tang."
Strictly speaking, General Zhonglang cannot actually be called a general, but everyone is used to bragging to each other and usually omits the first two words. It sounds much better to call him General Tang than General Tang Zhonglang.
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Just congratulations?"
Su Mei glanced at him and said, "How about you come to my room and I play a song for you?"
Tangning thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's not like I haven't heard you play before. Why don't you dance? I haven't seen you dance yet."
"What a beautiful idea." Su Mei rolled her eyes at him and said, "I only dance for my husband. Are you my husband?"
Tangning refused to give up and said, "Isn't it okay to be my younger brother?"
Su Mei looked at him and asked, "Can my godbrother be my husband?"
"If you are willing..." Tang Ning looked at her and saw Su Mei looking at him with a half-smile, and said with a smile, "You can also play a piece of music."
Even if you can't watch Su Mei dance, listening to her play the flute is also a kind of enjoyment. Especially when you are alone, you can enjoy a kind of tranquility that wells up from the depths of your heart.
The sound of the Xiao was ethereal and distant. After the song, Su Mei put down the Dong Xiao in her hand, looked at him, and said, "You are different from two years ago."
When Tang Ning heard the same sound two years ago, it brought back memories deep in her heart and she burst into tears unconsciously. But when she heard it again now, she felt a different state of mind.
Su Mei came over, sat down by the bed, and said, "Two years ago, your heart was full of loneliness and sadness. You are different now than you were then."
Tangning looked at her and said, "You are different too."
Su Mei asked: "What's the difference?"
Tangning looked at her carefully and said, "She looks better than two years ago, and she is more beautiful than two years ago..."
Su Mei was in the most beautiful years of a woman's life. She had just lost her youthfulness as a young girl. She was quite charming but not overly so. Perhaps because her sleep had improved in the past two years, she looked even better than before.
Su Mei glanced at him and said with satisfaction in her tone: "You are more glib than two years ago..."
Tangning couldn't help but think of the tit-for-tat scene between the two when they first met two years ago. She coughed lightly and said, "Weren't we young back then..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." He waved his hand, looked at her and said, "I want to ask you about someone. You should have his information here."
"Who?"
"The Minister of Rites, Liu Feng."
…
"Ah sneeze!"
In the Tang family, Liu Feng, who was discussing something in the hall, sneezed and couldn't help but rub his nose.
Tang Qi looked at him and said, "It's been cold these past two days. Mr. Liu, please pay attention to your health."
Liu Feng wrapped the clothes around him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your concern. I will put on another piece of clothes when I return home."
Tang Huai took a sip of tea and said: "The position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is vacant. In terms of qualifications, the only person who can compete with you is Li Yan, the Minister of Works. Li Yan has mediocre political achievements and has no background in the court.
It is unlikely that Your Majesty will choose him. As long as you don't make any mistakes on your part, the position of right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs must be yours."
Liu Feng immediately cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to the trust of Lord Shangshu."
Among the six departments, the most important ones are the Department of Husbandry and the Department of Personnel. Since the last incident of Han Ming, the minister of the Department of Husbandry, the Tang family has lost one of its most important generals in the Department of Husbandry, and it has not recovered yet.
If he can occupy a position in the official department this time, it will be of great significance to both the Tang family and Prince Duan.
…
It has been two days since the Sixteenth Guards Competition ended, and there are still many people at the door of Tangrenzhai who habitually buy a newspaper every day.
This is because, during the Sixteenth Guardian Tournament, newspapers will not only record the schedule and technical analysis, but also publish some interesting news.
Some of them are current affairs news, such as the situation in the grassland has been stable for a year, and there are gradually signs of breaking the ice. The Wanyan tribe has annexed several tribes and has a continuing trend of growth. In the distant Western Region, Xiaowan Kingdom is also
The strong rise in recent years has attracted the attention of several major powers in the Western Regions. Many officials in North Korea and China have also proposed the "Western Region Threat Theory." The envoy of Xiaowan State who is still in Beijing has personally refuted the rumors and expressed that he will unswervingly implement it.
The policy of living peacefully with Chen Guo remains unwavering...
Some are anecdotes, such as a liar from the east of the city who claimed to be the koi carp king drawn by His Majesty himself. Because the bonus was withheld by the government, he needed ten taels of silver to collect it. He promised to borrow one tael and pay back ten taels.
After defrauding eight people, he was quickly caught on the spot. Ping An County Government hereby solemnly reminds that as the end of the year approaches, scammers are rampant. People in Kyoto are asked to increase their awareness of prevention to avoid being deceived...
There are also some tidbits about officials or powerful people in the capital, such as a certain marquis marrying a concubine from the Western Regions, a certain official being broken into a brothel by the family's eldest wife, and being dragged off the bed with a red card in the brothel...
These news satisfy the curiosity and gossip of the people in the capital, and are very popular among the people because of their high quality and low price.
In the palace, Emperor Chen was used to reading a newspaper from Tang Renzhai after the morning court and before reviewing the memorials.
"After the Sixteenth Guards Competition, Tang Renzhai's special reporter Zhuo xx interviewed several people in the capital on the street. Enthusiastic people said that this Sixteenth Guards Competition will help promote the majesty of the Forbidden Army and promote the relationship between Dachen and small countries in the Western Regions.
Under the wise leadership of His Majesty, Chen Guo will surely become stronger..."
A smile unconsciously appeared on Chen Huang's lips. After a moment, he put down the newspaper, looked at Wei Jian, and said, "Tangrenzhai's newspaper has been ordered by all the major government offices in Beijing..."
