The public execution of Chen Guo's enemy general by the Wanyan Department was widely circulated from the beginning, but ended hastily in the end.
For some unknown reason, the fourth princess robbed the man and returned directly to her tribe. The eldest prince took this opportunity to unite many tribal leaders and jointly made a speech to the Khan, demanding severe punishment for the fourth princess.
What the fourth princess Wanyan Yan did was really hard to understand, and no reasonable explanation was given afterwards. In order to punish the fourth princess, Wanyan Khan assigned four of her tribes to the eldest prince. This incident
Things just calmed down.
As a result, the number of tribes under the eldest prince has reached more than 20, and his power has steadily surpassed that of the third prince and fourth princess, becoming the largest khan under the Khan.
In a tent somewhere, the eldest prince took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to catch an enemy general and get an unexpected gain. I exchanged that man for four tribes, it was worth it..."
A figure stood beside him and said: "I don't know what the relationship between the fourth princess and the enemy general is. I would rather lose the four tribes than protect him..."
"It makes sense." The eldest prince thought for a while, nodded and said: "Let someone check it out, maybe we can get four more tribes. It would be best if she collaborates with the enemy and rebels, so that all the tribes in her hands belong to me.
Already..."
In another tent, the third prince's face looked a little gloomy.
He paced in the tent and said in a deep voice: "I thought that if the two of them fought, both sides would suffer, but who knew that she did nothing and let Wan Yanchu take advantage in vain..."
A middle-aged man behind him said: "The eldest prince already has twenty tribes under his command. The third prince must do something as soon as possible. He cannot be left too far behind..."
"You are right. I must do something as soon as possible. We cannot continue to look at it like this." The third prince thought for a while and whispered: "Wanyan Chu can capture General Chen, why can't I, Wan Yanhong, capture him?"
General of Chu State?"
He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Where are the people from Chu State?"
The middle-aged man said: "Although the Chu State also has soldiers and horses entering the grassland, those people are difficult to deal with. The reason why the eldest prince targeted the Chen State is because he suffered a loss at the hands of the Chu people..."
"How can it be shown that I'm better than that loser if I don't do this?" A trace of ridicule appeared on the third prince's face, and he said: "This is the grassland, our territory. Twice the number of men and horses is not enough, just double, triple. How can we do that?"
Are you afraid of a few Chu people?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Those people from Chu State have been active in the Kerulen River generation recently..."
…
Xiao Jue held the leg of lamb in one hand and the mare's milk wine in the other. He lay on the couch covered with sheepskin, burped and said, "I'm sorry, you lost four tribes because of me...
…”
"It doesn't matter." Wan Yanyan waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter if there are more or less tribes. You can tell me more about him..."
Xiao Jue said: "What's there to say about him..."
Wanyan Yan said: "Then do you want you to practice whipping with me?"
"Speaking of Tang Ning, there is a lot that can be said. He ranked first in every exam in the imperial examination. Do you know what the concept of the three-yuan number one scholar is? For example, our three-yuan number one scholar is like you Sushen people.
The most powerful number one warrior in decades..."
Xiao Jue gushed, "His wives are all as beautiful as flowers, especially his fourth wife, who is the most beautiful woman in our Chen country..."
Wan Yanyan curled her lips and said, "The most beautiful woman, is she as beautiful as me?"
"You?" Xiao Jue looked at her carefully and said, "You are just a maid in his family. No, all the maids in his family are better-looking than you..."
Wan Yanyan took the leg of lamb from his hand and said, "Don't eat it, come out and practice whipping with me..."
Xiao Jue immediately said: "No, no, I will tell you about his counterinsurgency in Jiangnan. By the way..."
An hour later, Xiao Jue's mouth was dry and she drank a lot of tea. Wan Yanyan walked out of the tent, handed a letter to the woman with a bow, and said: "Send someone to deliver this letter to the capital, and hand it over in person."
In the hands of Tang Ning, the Minister of Civil Service..."
…
Capital.
Tangning sat alone under the peach tree in the yard, staring ahead in a daze.
Today is the third day of March, the eleventh day since Su Mei left. I miss her.
The capital is not very peaceful these days. It is the scientific examination season again. After the women's martial arts examination is over, the civil and military examinations are about to begin. Students from the capital gather together. The inns and even private houses in the streets are full. People on the streets
There were suddenly more people.
This kind of unrest is just because the capital has become lively. Nothing major happened in the court. Something happened to Tangning herself, but it was just an ordinary change.
Emperor Chen had previously said that after he completed the six ministries, he would be transferred to the province of Shangshu. The transfer order was officially issued a few days ago.
So far, in addition to the Minister of Civil Affairs and General Zuo Xiaowei, he also has the errand of Minister Zuo Cheng.
The position of Zuo Cheng, the former Shangshu, is also retained, but Zuo Cheng has taken family leave and wants to return to his hometown to serve his elderly mother. He will not be able to come back for at least half a year.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds, and Emperor Chen was a well-known filial son. Of course, he would not refuse a filial son's request and approved his leave. As a result, Tang Ning became the only Zuo Cheng in Shangshu Province.
There was another incident that made him quite depressed.
The day after Emperor Chen transferred him to Shangshu Province, Lord Zhou, the right minister, made a request to resign and return to his hometown.
Mr. Zhou was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Because of his old age and old age, Emperor Chen transferred him to Shangshu Province to take over the position of Prime Minister Feng, in order to give him a perfect ending to his official career.
He does not need to go to the Yamen or deal with state affairs on weekdays. He only needs to work for two years and can end his official career as the right minister.
Now that he has only been in office for half a year, he is in a hurry to retire. There are rumors outside that he is afraid that he will be killed if he goes to Shangshu Province. Like Feng Xiang, he has no guarantee before the end of his official career, so he simply retires early and leaves a clean reputation.
These rumors were like sharp swords. Tang Ning wanted to clarify, but she couldn't defend herself.
He thought about Su Mei for a while, and then it was time to go to Shangshu.
Walking on the street, many people passing by were dressed as officials. Starting from March every year, talented people from all over the country gather in the capital, and many romantic events are inevitable.
A hawker seemed to see that he was young and looked like a candidate for the exam. He came up to him and said, "This young man has an inscription written by the exam master. It only costs one tael of silver. Do you want to buy one?"
Tangning asked in surprise: "What is the inscription for the God Test?"
"You don't even know this?" The man looked at him, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said, "This is the three-yuan champion Tang Ning, personally inscribed by Mr. Tang. If you buy a copy and give it back, Mr. Tang can bless you in high school.
A Jinshi can be promoted to the third level in one year, and to the tenth level in three years..."
Tang Ning glanced at the paper in his hand. It was an ordinary piece of white paper with the words "Must pass every exam" written on the paper. Looking at the handwriting------it looked a bit like his handwriting.
Tangning looked at him and asked, "Does anyone want to buy this?"
The vendor chuckled and said, "To be honest, I have sold more than a hundred copies today..."
A piece of paper costs one tael, and a hundred pieces of paper equals a hundred taels. This fake inscription is faster than robbing money. If Tangning hadn't been short of money long ago, she would have monopolized this industry and eliminated all the dens that manufacture fakes.
Lose.
Now, he naturally has no such interest, and he is too lazy to pursue the matter of them selling fake inscriptions and labeling himself a god test. He waved his hand and said: "Not interested."
When the hawker saw him leaving, he thought he thought the price was too high, so he immediately followed him and said, "The god test is too expensive, but the saint test is cheap. Mr. Xiao is usually uneducated and has no skills. Last time he was able to get the first grade in high school."
, it depends on your luck in becoming a saint. His inscriptions are only sold for 500 yuan. Buy two and get one free. It is a very cost-effective gift to relatives and friends. It will definitely help you get into high school in one fell swoop..."
Tangning waved her hand and said, "He can't lift it himself, so how can he bless others..."
