Song Yi is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Tang Ning has stayed in the Ministry of Punishment for a long time. She is not a close friend of him, but she is still much more familiar with him than other officials in the court.
In comparison, Tang Ning and Song Qian are familiar with each other.
Three years ago, Song Qian was a judge in Jingdong Road, and he was also one of the examiners of the Lingzhou Prefectural Examination that year. Tang Ning was already familiar with him at that time. Some time ago in Jiangnan, after Tang Ning made a big fuss in Ezhou, the end of the Ezhou area
At work, he helped him deal with the aftermath.
Song Qian looked at him, smiled, and said, "I was transferred to Gyeonggi Province for punishment some time ago."
The promotion of punishment in Gyeonggi Province and the promotion of punishment in Gangnam Province are not the same at all. According to the promotion habits of punishment officials in Gyeonggi Province, the punishment of punishment in Gyeonggi Province is the top of the punishment officials. After that, they are the top and second-in-command of the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple.
Chen Huang is good at employing people. The Song family has been doing this for generations. He has placed all the two Song brothers in suitable positions in this generation.
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Song."
"It's all thanks to Master Tang." Song Qian smiled and said: "Master Tang has shown great power in Jiangnan, and we have also benefited from it, but I haven't thanked Master Tang yet..."
Tangning waved her hand and said, "You're welcome..."
Song Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "I would also like to express my gratitude to Lord Tang for his unbridled kindness in the Ministry of Punishment..."
Tangning waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Song? Those rumors are not credible..."
Song Yi looked at him and smiled without saying a word.
If those rumors are not to be believed, the former Minister of Household Affairs, Minister of Justice, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Works, Minister of Rites, Prime Minister Feng, and all the Jiangnan officials should all be in the capital now, instead of being demoted or exiled...
By the way, we need to add King Kang.
Fortunately, when he came to the Ministry of Punishment, he was just a small chief, and a minister was enough for him. If he had waited until he was appointed as a minister before coming to the Ministry of Punishment, he might not be able to stand here and talk to him safely now.
…
Brothers Song Qian and Song Yi came here today just for a purely courtesy visit.
After reaching this level of officialdom, whoever is not deeply entangled in the world, making more friends and forming more good karma, might be able to use it at some point.
Tang Ning chatted with them for a while, and then the two stood up to leave.
The Sixth Department is now only missing one member from the Criminal Department. Tang Ning will fight for it no matter what, but he can't tell Song Yi clearly that he is optimistic about Zhao Yuan becoming the emperor and has already organized a team. The Sixth Department is only missing one of you from the Criminal Department. Do you want to follow?
They do it together?
If he thinks it works, he will join the gang. If it doesn't work, he will ask again after the punishment department changes someone...
After all, he is a decent person and would not do such unreasonable things.
If he remembered correctly, the friendship between Song Yi and Fang Hong seemed to be quite deep, and some things only needed to be touched upon.
What's more, the Song brothers came to the door together to show their goodwill. Tangning could just accept the order. Talking too much would be bad.
Tang Ning sent the Song brothers to the door. Song Yi saw that he hesitated several times and asked in surprise: "Does Mr. Tang have something to say to Song?"
Tangning nodded and said, "I do have a question that I would like to ask Mr. Song."
Song Yi smiled and said: "Master Tang, just ask, Song will definitely tell you everything he knows."
Tang Ning looked at him and asked curiously, "Does Mr. Song have a lot of money at his disposal?"
…
After sending the Song brothers away, Tang Ning shook her head with regret.
Song Yi only had one son, and he was already an adult. Song Qian did have a daughter, but she had left the government a few years ago. It seemed a bit impossible to tie them tightly to Zhao Yuan's ship through this way.
But it doesn't matter. The Song family is different from the Tang family. Even if they don't blatantly help, they won't hold back and shoot cold arrows from behind. Tang Ning has already done a lot for him. The next stage can be left to Zhao Yuan himself.
I don’t know if there are any other officials in Beijing who have beautiful girls aged eleven or twelve. Zhao Yuan has no other skills, but he is good at coaxing girls, and with this advantage of his, he can get out of the house abruptly.
A unique way to win the throne...
In fact, Zhao Yuan himself worked very hard on the matter of fighting for the heir. He took three little girls around all day long, seemingly idle and doing nothing, but who knew that he was actually fighting for the heir apparent?
Today he brought his sister from the Zhang family, sister from the Wang family, and sister from the Bai family to the Tang family. Just now, he secretly ran into his study with a tall little girl. He didn't know what he was doing there.
Tang Ning wasn't worried that they would do anything outrageous. The little ones didn't even have hair at all, and they could only hug each other.
Tang Ning was standing in the yard when Lao Zheng's daughter Nannan ran over and said, "Brother, I want to play on the swing..."
She climbed onto the swing by herself, with Tang Ning helping from behind. The swing was swinging very high, but Tang Ning was not worried at all.
Since he last saw Nannan mastering Lao Zheng's butcher knife, he no longer worried about her safety.
The butcher's daughter is not someone to be trifled with. With a physique like Zhao Yuan, she can chop someone into pieces with just one knife.
"Thank you, big brother..." When Tangning carried her down, Nannan hugged his head, kissed him on the face, and ran over to play with Xiaoxiao.
Lao Zheng, who was sitting in the yard sharpening his knife, looked up at him and then looked away.
The existence of Nannan seems to have inspired the glory of motherhood in many women in the Tang family. From the master to the maids, everyone likes to hold her. She also does not hesitate to kiss everyone.
Tang Ning could see the light blooming in Su Ru and Zhong Yi's eyes when they saw her daughter, but right now
Everything was still undecided for them, and he could only postpone this matter for another two years.
Zhao Yuan and the little girl came out of the study with a hint of...
Tangning didn't know why he had such a lewd, almost lewd smile on his face at such a young age. In addition to this smile, he also had a lip mark on his face.
Old Zheng glanced at Zhao Yuan, then at Tang Ning, and said calmly: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Your apprentice is the same as you."
Tangning shook her head and said, "It's different."
Lao Zheng smiled disdainfully and asked, "What's the difference?"
Tangning looked outside the hospital and said, "If I were him, I wouldn't hang out like this before I wash my face..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scolding voices of two little girls came from outside the door.
"Where were you just now?"
"What happened to your face?"
"What's this?"
…
Zhao Yuan came back after a while, covering his waist. None of the three little girls were missing. Tang Ning guessed that his waist must be as red as the lip marks on his face.
There were still tears in his eyes. He looked up at Tang Ning and asked miserably, "Sir, is this the same for my wife?"
Tangning looked at him, shook her head sadly, and said, "No."
Zhao Yuan sighed, turned around and walked out the door.
Tangning looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Yuan said with some sadness: "Go back to the palace."
"Wait a minute."
Zhao Yuan wiped away her tears, looked back at Tang Ning, and asked, "Is there anything else you can do, sir?"
Tangning looked at him and said regretfully: "You can't return to the palace until you coax them..."
You have to walk the path you choose even on your knees. This is the first real lesson that Tang Ning taught Zhao Yuan.
