After returning from Tiantianju yesterday, Tang Ning handed over a letter about Princess Yiyang and told Emperor Chen that Princess Yiyang could not help the Queen Mother because of her illness. She thought that the ban on her would be lifted in the next two days.
.
Keep a line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. A dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and a rabbit will bite someone in a hurry. What's more, she is still a princess. If she really wants to go crazy, Tang Ning may not be afraid, but she still has to be in a hurry.
All departments of the imperial court are closed these days and will not open until after the 15th day of the month. However, the guards cannot rest. They only have one month of vacation every year and can only take turns.
Most of the generals and disciples in the capital were gone, and there were not many generals and lieutenants left in Zuo Xiaowei. Tang Ning took the time to go to the camp and take a look. The order in the camp was acceptable and everything was in order.
A few days ago, all the equipment for the 10,000 heavy cavalry that Emperor Chen wanted had been built. Hundreds of blacksmiths had been busy for several months, and the work was completed ahead of schedule at an incredible speed.
The 10,000 elites selected from the Sixteen Guards have already received systematic training. They are then allowed to wear real equipment and train for a few months before heading to the grassland.
After Xiao Jue left and Tang Ning was away from the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard, the person in charge in the camp should be Princess Yiyang's consort Zhang Chao. But since that incident, Zhang Chao has become a hands-off shopkeeper and no longer cares about anything in the camp.
When Zuo Xiaowei responds to matters, Chen Zhou will make the final decision.
A few days ago, he helped Princess Yiyang free herself from her bondage and resume their married life. Zhang Chao must be very grateful to him.
Tangning accidentally saw Zhang Chaoshi in the camp and almost didn't recognize him.
He looked at Zhang Chao, whose eyes were sunken, his steps were sloppy, and he was much more haggard than before, and he asked in surprise: "What's wrong with General Zhang Lang? Are you sick?"
Zhang Chao looked up at him and asked feebly: "General Tang, does the Queen Mother really not need Princess Yiyang due to her illness?"
Tang Ning often heard people say that the relationship between Princess Yiyang and the Prince Consort was not getting along, and that the two of them were playing different things outside. The rumors were limited to wise men and husband and wife. Tang Ning could tell that Zhang Chao still cared about Princess Yiyang very much.
He looked at Zhang Chao and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, you won't need it anymore..."
Zhang Chao's face turned gloomy instantly and he murmured: "Why do you say you don't need it? Why is the Queen Mother's illness like this..."
…
Tang Ning honestly said that the Chen court was very considerate towards the officials.
Leaving aside those outside the capital, officials in the middle of the capital take a break every fifth day to take a bath and every month to go to office. Their annual leave is as much as half a month.
After the Lantern Festival, all the government offices opened. Tang Ning did not go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Ministry of Industry. In order to avoid the women's martial arts examination and the civil and military examinations a month later, she had to start early in early February.
When he originally specified the martial arts regulations, he actually drew on the normal martial arts to a certain extent. These people all started from the lowest level of generals. They did not need to have a big picture view or high military literacy. They only needed to know how to
Just obey the orders from your superiors.
Of course, they still need to know the most basic things.
It includes horse-riding archery, art of war, and the use of various weapons on the battlefield. The last one is a pure examination of personal force. Through martial arts competition, the champion of martial arts will be determined.
Wen Wu is the first, martial arts is second. The assessment process of the martial arts examination is much simpler than that of the civil examination. If you can't shoot, you can't shoot. If you can't lift, you can't lift. On the ring, if you lose, you win. Examiner
It only serves a supervisory role and will not have much impact on the results because of the examiner's personal preferences.
King Huai had prepared these things long in advance, and Tang Ning still had a few days to spend with Su Mei.
In a month at most, she will leave with Bai Jin and the others. These days, Zhong Yi and Su Ru have turned him away many times, just to let him stay with Su Mei before she leaves.
In addition to the four ladies in the family, there was also a man queuing up next door. They were so harmonious. Tang Ning felt very happy. If there was someone like Lu Ya in the family, he would probably die of worry.
Lu Ya came to her home today and took Tang Yaoyao and Xiao Xiao to the school field to practice riding and archery. Lu Ya was born as a general and had to learn riding and archery since she was a child. Tang Yaoyao and Xiao Xiao rarely had contact with these things.
If you don't hone your skills before the battle, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get through the first game.
There was no one at home today. Old Zheng was sitting under the eaves sharpening his knife that could never be sharpened enough. The old beggar was lying on the bench basking in the sun.
After having an apprentice, he finally knew how to pay attention to his appearance. Although he still looked a bit sloppy, he didn't give people the feeling of being dirty.
With nothing to do, Tangning sat next to him and asked casually: "Senior, do you think Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao can persevere until the end?"
"I don't know." The old beggar shook his head and said: "The world is big and there are many powerful people. My disciple and your wife are only second-rate now. If they want to win the top prize in martial arts, it is..."
Unexpectedly, the old beggar could say such words. Tang Ning thought that what he was thinking was that I was the best in the world and unrivaled...
He looked at the old beggar and asked with some gossip: "Is there anyone who is more powerful than the seniors?"
"Of course there is." The old beggar said unabashedly: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Who dares to say that he is invincible in the world? Although I have never encountered an opponent in my life, I dare not say that I am the best in the world...
"
Tangning thought the old beggar would be humble and modest again, but she didn't expect that he would still be as shameless as ever.
He has never met an opponent, and he dare not say that he is the best in the world. This means that the person who can defeat him does not know where he is, but anyone with a name is not his opponent.
He and the old beggar chatted wordlessly. At a certain moment, Su Mei walked in from outside, walked up to him, and said, "My master said, I will leave on the fifteenth day of next month..."
Tangning stood up and frowned, "So early?"
It's almost the end of the month, doesn't it mean that she will leave in more than half a month?
Su Mei held his hand and comforted him: "In order to avoid any delays on the way, it would be better to leave half a month early."
The old beggar curled his lips and said: "What's so good about Guizhou is that besides the mountains and forests, there are just insects..."
Tangning thought of something, looked at him, and asked, "Senior, are there any other secret books or secret techniques here? How about a few more..."
The old beggar had a lot of good things here. Once he was drunk and bragged to Old Zheng, saying that when he was young, he went to martial arts sects and families in various countries to find people to challenge and took away the losers' secret books, but he had never lost.
Yes, so the secret books and the like around me are all in piles.
"Wait..." The old beggar rolled his eyes at him, lazily got up and moved back to his room. After a while, he moved out again and threw a thin book on the table.
There were countless secret books around him, but he actually used this tattered thing to fool him. This was an important matter related to the safety of their fourth wife. Tangning looked at him and said seriously: "Don't be so stingy, just get a few more books...
…”
"Ten Thousand Poison Sutras..."
Su Mei looked at the broken book on the table and picked it up. After flipping through it, she looked at the old beggar in disbelief and asked: "This is the treasure of the Wan Gu Sect. It has always been reserved for the saints of the previous generation.
It was passed down to the next generation of saints. It was lost decades ago, so why is it here with you?"
The old beggar yawned and said, "I picked it up..."
