Tang Qi was silent for a moment and asked: "You mean, His Highness plans to recruit him?"
Tang Huai said: "Abandon grudges, use them if they are useful, and discard them if they are useless. This is the way an emperor should behave. Don't forget that he is no longer King Duan, but a future emperor."
Just now, Prince Duan was in the Tang Mansion, and he had revealed the conversation he had with His Majesty that day. Although Prince Kang was in the capital, he was no longer qualified to compete with him. He would be able to successfully take the throne in two years at most.
Tang Qi frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"
Tang Huai waved his hand, turned around and walked back to the Tang Mansion, saying calmly: "This is a consensual matter after all. Even if he is willing, some people are not willing, which will only make things more beneficial to us."
…
Tang Ning unexpectedly received an order from the palace. Emperor Chen asked him to assist King Duan and be responsible for this martial arts competition.
After what happened last time, the Ministry of Industry has enough troubles. A large amount of ordnance needs to be remade, all power tools need to be recalibrated, and armor equipment for 10,000 heavy cavalry must be built. At this critical juncture, the Ministry of Industry must
Many craftsmen of the Ministry were also arrested. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy. In addition, the time for the Gyeonggi Prefecture Examination was getting closer and closer, and the Ministry of Personnel was also a little busy. He didn't know the magic of clones, so he had no time to take care of it.
What kind of martial arts?
Moreover, the wording in Emperor Chen's imperial edict was also very ambiguous, and he kept on assisting King Duan. It seemed that Emperor Chen was deliberately trying to bring him closer to King Duan.
This is naturally impossible.
Tang Ning has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. The people in the Tang family who have a life-and-death feud with him are Tang Huai and Tang Qi. As for the Tang Shui family, Tang Ning has never regarded them as enemies.
Before coming to the capital, he had no grudges with Concubine Tang Hui and Prince Duan, but Prince Duan and the Tang family were in the same league. The two had been fighting openly and secretly for so long, and Prince Duan suffered greater losses at his hands than Prince Kang.
How can people get along with each other in peace?
However, the imperial edict cannot be disobeyed. There are still a few days before the martial arts competition begins. By then, you will naturally know what Chen Huang and Duan Wang mean.
Before that, he still had to be busy with the work department.
The minister was suspended and the minister was dismissed. He was responsible for all this alone. It was indeed a bit tiring. He had to choose a minister of the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible.
The Ministry of Personnel was also extremely busy these days, and the Ministry of Works suddenly had so many positions vacant that needed to be arranged. Seeing that Tang Ning was at the Ministry of Works, Fang Hong directly handed over the matter to Tang Ning.
When Tang Ning arrived at the Ministry of Works, she first summoned the remaining three directors to hold a small meeting. The Ministry of Works was already short of people, and most of its affairs were handled by the Ministry of Works Department. However, the Department of Works had been completely wiped out from top to bottom.
Although these matters are not the responsibility of the other three divisions, they cannot just sit back and watch the fun.
Tang Ning assigned these tasks, and the three of them responded enthusiastically without a word of refusal. Tang Ning was very pleased that the Ministry of Industry had such a sensible official.
After making these arrangements, Tang Ning looked at Zhang Hao, the doctor of the Ministry of Water Resources, and said: "The Ministry of Works is very busy today. Lord Shangshu has been suspended. Cui Shilang has been dismissed from his post for investigation. I have other important matters. The Ministry of Works needs someone to lead it. Doctor Zhang is here."
You have been in the Ministry of Industry for many years and you are the most senior official in the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Personnel has decided to recommend you as the Minister of Industry. Do you have any opinions on this?"
"Ah?" Zhang Hao was obviously shocked by the news. He was stunned and at a loss.
The other two doctors were stunned for a moment, then came back to their senses immediately and looked at him with eyes full of envy.
Zhang Hao, a doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources, was kind to the new Mr. Tang. It was not surprising that he took good care of him in the Ministry of Works. But who would have thought that he actually pulled the former minister of the Ministry of Works from that position.
, helped Zhang Hao up.
Although the farm doctor said this jokingly, it was just a joke, a joke he never thought would come true...
After Zhang Hao came back to his senses, his face showed excitement, and he immediately nodded and said: "Thank you, Master Tang, for your cultivation!"
Tangning waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, we will be colleagues from now on."
The Ministry of Personnel cannot directly appoint the doctor from the Ministry of Work, but it can decide on the candidate list. Generally speaking, unless the emperor has an opinion on the candidate ranked first by the Ministry of Personnel, he will acquiesce in the decision of the Ministry of Personnel.
There is no stain on Zhang Hao's body. He must have qualifications and qualifications, and he must be capable and competent. It is basically just a matter of following a process.
The three of them walked out of the Shilang's Office. The Tuntian doctor bowed his hands to Zhang Hao with a complex look on his face and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on your promotion..."
Doctor Yu also raised his hands and congratulated: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang..."
There is only the fifth rank of Doctor of the Ministry of Industry, but he is the fourth rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This kind of triple jump in the officialdom is not common. With Zhang Hao's connections, if there is no accident, he may be wasted in the position of the Doctor of the Ministry of Water in this life.
superior.
But this fate has come. Yesterday we were swallows carrying mud and building nests together. In the blink of an eye, others flew up the branches and turned into phoenixes.
If you don't have great opportunities in your life as a doctor, as an official position, it will end here.
But the minister is different. This is the mainstay of an yamen, and it is very possible to be promoted to two levels. If you can become a minister in this life, you will have a lot to write on your epitaph in the future.
In fact, they originally had such an opportunity, but now they are blocked.
Zhang Hao was similar in age to them. When he took the position of minister, there was no hope for the two of them. When he became minister, they could only queue up behind him and bet on who could beat who to death first and outlive Zhang Hao.
, maybe there is still some possibility...
Although the Tuntian doctor and the Yubu doctor were extremely envious, they were just envious. They did not have Zhang Hao's fortune. Three years ago, both of them wanted to stay in the capital. They did not want to go to the remote Lingzhou to serve as examiners and exclude Zhang Hao from going there.
Three years later, when Zhang Hao became the Minister of Industry, they could only look on with envy...
…
It seems that he knew that the Ministry of Works was very busy recently, so within just an hour after Tang Ning handed over the paper, an imperial edict came from the palace to the Ministry of Works.
Zhang Hao, a former doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources, was promoted to the position of Acting Minister of the Ministry of Works and temporarily assumed the position of Minister of the Ministry of Works. During the few months when the Minister of Works was suspended, he exercised the responsibilities of the Minister of Works.
The word "Dai" is temporary. As long as Zhang Hao doesn't cause any big trouble in these few months, Dai Shilang will become the Shilang in a few months.
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Someone finally took over the mess in the Ministry of Works for him. In the next two days, he would have a good rest and replenish the energy he had lost these days.
The affairs of the Ministry of Industry were left to Zhang Hao, and he went straight home before it was time to go to the office.
Before he reached the inner courtyard, he saw Xiaoru standing outside the flower bed, admiring the blooming flowers inside.
Seeing Xiao Ru's figure, Tang Ning couldn't help but feel joy in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, from Lingzhou to the capital, no matter what happened, she has always followed him. Although most of the time, she followed Zhong Yi silently without speaking, and she never said anything.
There is nothing to argue with others, but in Tangning's heart, there is always a place that belongs to her and no one can take her place.
He walked over gently and gently hugged her from behind.
Then he realized that something was wrong. From a distance, it looked like nothing strange, but when the two of them were pressed tightly together, Tang Ning realized that Xiao Ru didn't have a raised butt like Princess Anyang.
Princess Anyang broke away from him, raised one hand high and said angrily: "Shameless!"
Tangning grabbed her waving hand, looked at her, and said innocently, "Why are you wearing Xiaoru's clothes?"
