Tang Ning walked into the check-in room and placed the stack of files on Wu Langzhong's table.
"Hey, what a bad luck. I don't know what happened yesterday. I had a bad stomach..." Wu Langzhong covered his stomach and moved in step by step from the outside. When he moved to the table, he saw the files on the table and said in surprise: "
Mr. Tang, this..."
Tang Ning said: "I just showed it to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou said that these files were a mess. He asked me to take them back and reorganize them. Once they are sorted out, they will be handed over to him."
"It's a mess?" Wu Langzhong was startled and said, "I obviously sorted it out very seriously..."
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but Minister Zhou looks very angry. Sir Wu, you should be more careful..."
"Ah?" Wu Langzhong said with a bitter look on his face: "Shilang Nie can be more talkative. Shilang Zhou has always had a bad temper, but now it's over..."
He sat back in defeat, suddenly looked at Tang Ning, and asked tentatively: "Master Tang, do you seriously say in front of His Majesty that you are seeking revenge on the Minister of Rites Liu Shilang..."
Tang Ning nodded and said, "As the saying goes, the more you think about it, the angrier it becomes. The more you think about it, the more you take a step back. Master Liu makes things difficult for me for no reason, so naturally he has to reciprocate..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Minister Zhou walking in quickly, striding to the table, picking up the file, looking at Tang Ning, and said with a smile on his face: "This file is very well organized. I just mentioned it."
I saw it wrong, I saw it wrong..."
Before Tang Ning could say anything, Minister Zhou said again: "So this is the new Mr. Tang. He is truly a talented person and one of the best among men. I just woke up and was a little confused. I said some things that I shouldn't have said. Don't be offended, Mr. Tang."
"
"You are so polite, Minister Zhou." Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Servant Zhou is also dedicated to serving the public good. How can I be surprised?"
He couldn't help but take another look at Minister Zhou. Wu Langzhong said that he had a bad temper, but he didn't look like it. How could such a polite person have a bad temper?
Zhou Shilang looked at him with a smile on his face and asked: "Did I speak a little too loudly to Mr. Tang just now? Mr. Tang must not take it to heart..."
"No." Zhou Shilang was too polite. Tangning was a little surprised and said, "Zhou Shilang's voice just now was average, not very loud."
"It's not very big, but it's still a bit big..." Zhou Shilang swallowed his saliva and said, "I will pay attention next time. If I do anything wrong in the future, Master Tang, feel free to speak out and don't write it down.
In my heart..."
Zhou Shilang said something nervously, and then he turned around and exited.
Zhou Shilang was too polite, even a little groveling. For a moment just now, Tang Ning almost thought that he was not the doctor of the Ministry of War, but the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Tang Ning looked at Wu Langzhong and said uncertainly: "Does Minister Zhou have a bad temper? I can't tell at all..."
Wu Langzhong swallowed his saliva. He had never seen Minister Zhou like this before, and murmured: "Master Zhou has changed a lot since he came back this time..."
When Tang Ning saw Minister Zhou going out, she turned around and bowed to him. China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and all ministers are ministers. If Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, can be as polite as Minister Zhou, why should he waste that time?
Ink and paper money.
Ministry of Rites.
Liu Jin, the doctor of the ancestral temple, was sitting in his duty room, drinking tea and humming a tune, feeling very leisurely.
Ever since that petty broomstick left, the lives of everyone in the Ministry of Rites have become much better. They won't suffer inexplicable disasters, and they don't have to worry. During the break of drinking tea, he still has time to beg for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, so that the broomstick will never happen again.
Don't come back either.
The Ministry of Etiquette has been in a state of unrest recently. The affair of Minister Liu has spread a lot. The most reliable Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has been disturbed. Lord Shangshu is very angry, and Minister Liu is not in a high mood.
None of these things escaped Liu Jin's eyes. Even before that, he knew that Liu Shilang would definitely be eliminated this time. According to his observation, many people who did not offend the broom star suffered, and
No one he has created has escaped his revenge, and according to common sense, Liu Shilang will not be spared either.
As for whether this revenge was the beginning or the end, he didn't know.
He took a sip of tea. The chef from the dining department came in from outside, looked at him, and asked: "Shilang Liu's mother has her 60th birthday tomorrow. Does Mr. Liu want to celebrate her birthday?"
"Of course I want to go." Liu Jin stood up and said, "Sixtieth birthday is a big event. If we subordinates don't go, what will Sir Liu think?"
"Then let's go together tomorrow night." The doctor of the dining department nodded, then sighed and said: "If Mr. Liu can take the position of right minister of the staff department this time, it will be a double happiness, and the old lady will celebrate her sixtieth birthday.
It will add a lot of color, but it's a pity that Tang Ning disturbed her. No wonder Mr. Liu was so angry and said he wanted to fight with Tang Ning to the end..."
"Fight to the end?" Liu Jin was stunned and asked, "How to fight to the end?"
The chef of the dining department smiled and said, "The minister can't do anything to Tang Ning, but that doesn't mean he can't do anything to others. Isn't Tang Ning's father-in-law the magistrate of Ping'an County? The number of talents who can take the examination in Ping'an County this year is 20% less than in previous years.
It is the fault of the Ping An County Magistrate. If this number decreases again next year, he will be transferred to another state..."
The imperial court has always attached great importance to education. After all, most of the officials in the imperial court now rely on the imperial examination. Those who are promoted through the imperial examination will become the mainstay of the court in the future.
County magistrates from other states who fail the education evaluation for three consecutive years will either be demoted or fined. In the Gyeonggi area, it is even more strict. Those who fail the education evaluation for two consecutive years will probably be transferred to other states, although they are also
County magistrate, but how can other states be compared with the capital? It is an obvious demotion.
The education and evaluation of officials is not managed by the Ministry of Personnel, but by the Ministry of Rites. The number of scholars participating in the imperial examination is one of the assessment criteria. However, it is normal for this number to fluctuate every year. Unless it decreases in consecutive years, the Ministry of Rites will not deliberately make things difficult.
But if the Minister of Rites wants to use this to deliberately embarrass him, it is also legal.
After Liu Jin came back to his senses, he pursed his lips, looked at the chef of the dining department and asked, "Are you saying that Minister Liu is going to touch Tang Ning's father-in-law Zhong Mingli?"
The doctor of the dining department nodded and said, "Master Liu should be seeking revenge for the last time."
Liu Jin let out a long sigh and said: "Hey, when will the injustice be repaid..."
"We have no control over these matters." The doctor of the Shanbu Department waved his hand and said, "I will go find you before You time tomorrow, and we will go to Shilang Liu's house to celebrate his birthday."
Liu Jin held his forehead and said: "Tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to go tomorrow..."
He had promised well just now, but now he suddenly regretted it. The chef of the dining room looked at him and said in surprise: "Ah, why?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow..." Liu Jin thought for a while, looked at him and said, "I may be sick tomorrow. You can help me apologize to Liu Shilang..."
…
Today, Tang Ning neither went shopping with Xiao Ru Xiaoyi nor competed with Tang Yaoyao. Instead, she played chess at home with her father-in-law.
My father-in-law will come here directly after getting off office these two days, and will not go back until it is time for dinner.
Tang Ning knew that he was hiding from his mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law felt sorry for her because her official rank was not as good as her daughter's. As a result, her father-in-law, who was only a fifth-rank official, had no face to face her, so he hid whenever he could.
However, the reason why Xiaoyi was promoted to the fourth rank of imperial court is because his general Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang is the fourth rank. The rank of his wife is generally the same as her husband. The father-in-law wants his mother-in-law to feel better, unless he can replace the county magistrate of Ping'an with
Jing Zhaoyin...
Although Jing Zhaoyin's position is now vacant, when he was transferred to Ping'an County Magistrate more than a year ago, he had already been promoted three levels in a row. Less than two years later, he made another triple jump.
