Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "What are you sighing for?" ”

Xiao Jue leaned against the pillar, put his hands behind his head, and asked, "Do you really plan to completely tear your face with the Tang family?" ”

It hasn't been a day or two since he and the Tang family tore their faces, and he had been waiting for a long time to finally find an opportunity for the kick that kicked Tang Zhao today.

Xiao Jue looked at him, sighed and said, "Dealing with the Tang family, you can't do it alone......"

Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Do you want to help me deal with the Tang family?" ”

Xiao Jue was stunned, looked up at the roof, and exclaimed, "Today's weather is good......

Tang Ning retracted his gaze, he naturally would not be naïve, this matter alone could bring down the Tang family, although Emperor Chen was slightly dissatisfied with the Tang family, but it was only dissatisfied, as long as the Tang family did not do anything like rebellion, he would not touch the Tang family.

And Emperor Chen treated him so favorably, Tang Ning also guessed part of his thoughts, no matter what Emperor Chen's motives were, this was not a bad thing.

At some point, the noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

Several figures walked in from outside the hall, led by Tang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Tang Huai walked to the front, looked below, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and said: "I hereby appoint, Tang Ning, the first champion in the palace examination, Ren Hanlin Xiu, Xiao Jue, the second place in the palace examination, Ren Yulin Duwei, Gu Bai, the first place in the second class in the palace examination, and Ren Hanlin ...... editor."

Before the Qionglin banquet begins, the emperor will confer officials on some of the jinshi, of course, the emperor will not come forward in person, and it is generally conveyed by the Ministry of Rites.

If there is no accident, the first class of the palace examination is to enter the Hanlin Academy, this time there are only two people in the first class, Xiao Jue was awarded the martial arts position, although Gu Bai and Cui Lang are only in the second class, they are awarded the position of the first class, and among the next ten people, some people enter the Hanlin Academy, and some are scattered to the sixth department or other departments.

The other jinshi should go through the procedures of the Ministry of Officials after the Qionglin banquet.

The new science and technology scholars, including the champions, were not given very high official positions, and they did not have any real power, but the original intention of the imperial court was not to let them participate in politics, but to let them watch politics.

Their status is similar to that of interns in later generations, in their respective positions, they are familiar with various work procedures in the DPRK and China, and they will be awarded substantive positions after two or three years of hard work.

Some of those who do not perform well and have no outstanding performance may also spend their lives in the Hanlin Academy, but even so, they are the envy of countless scholars.

After the awarding of officials, the jinshi thanked them, and then it was the main drama of the Qionglin banquet.

More than 200 jinshi, plus the officials and dignitaries of the DPRK and China, set up more than 100 tables, which was bigger than the Luming banquet battle that Tang Ning had seen last time.

The Luming Banquet is a square table for eight people, and the Qionglin Banquet is a long table for four people, and the table is low and you need to sit cross-legged.

Xiao Jue, Gu Bai, Cui Lang and Shen Jian ranked high, and they were all at the same table with him.

Xiao Jue sat beside Tang Ning and said, "Don't worry, although I can't deal with the Tang family, I won't stand idly by when the Tang family deals with you." ”

After Xiao Jue finished speaking, a figure came over from the side, looking at the clothes, it should be a new branch jinshi, he held a wine glass, arched his hand to Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "Zhuangyuanlang, I toast you." ”

At the Qionglin banquet, not everyone drank and ate food quietly, walking around the banquet, and the number of people toasting each other was countless, Tang Ning stood up, picked up the wine glass, and saluted the Jinshi across the table.

As soon as he sat down, he was pulled up by Xiao Jue.

"If you don't leave now, you'll have to lie down and go back in a while." Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "Every year's champion can't escape the fate of being overturned." ”

Tang Ning looked up and saw that many people had already stood up and walked this way.

Xiao Jue only cared about dodging, and collided with a figure unexpectedly.

A young man in Chinese clothes frowned, and when he saw Xiao Jue, his expression softened.

Xiao Jue stabilized his figure, looked up, and hurriedly arched his hand: "His Royal Highness King Kang, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry......"

"It turned out to be Captain Xiao." King Kang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated you yet, the first class in the high school hall." ”

Xiao Jue said modestly: "It's all luck." ”

King Kang looked at Tang Ning who was standing beside him and asked, "Could this be the new champion?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Kang's eyes are like torches." Xiao Jue nodded and said, "He is the new champion Tang Ning." ”

Tang Ning bowed his hand to him slightly and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Kang." ”

"No need to be polite." King Kang had a smile on his face and said, "As early as the time of the provincial examination, this king had heard of your name, and he had long been looking forward to meeting a talent that I had not met in my Chen Kingdom for decades. ”

Tang Ning smiled and said, "King Kang has won the award." ”

Xiao Jue looked at King Kang, suddenly looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Is your hand okay?" ”

King Kang's eyes looked at the white cloth wrapped around Tang Ning's hand and asked, "Zhuangyuanlang's hand is injured?" ”

"It's a long story." Xiao Jue sighed and said, "We met several murderers today, and Zhuang Yuanlang was injured in the process of fighting with the murderers. ”

King Kang frowned and asked, "Who is the murderer, who is so bold that he dares to commit murder against you?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know." Xiao Jue looked at him and said: "Today, Zhuangyuanlang and I inadvertently cracked a big case, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there were people who committed the evil thing of human trafficking, and I and Zhuangyuanlang were uneven, but unfortunately if I hadn't met Tang Zhao, I would have been able to wipe out those villains on the spot." ”

King Kang raised his eyebrows: "Does this matter have anything to do with Tang Zhao?" ”

Tang Zhao is the son of Tang Qi, a native of Dongtaishe, Tang Qi is a member of the Tang family, the Tang family is the dependence of King Duan, and it is also a thorn in his eye, he is very interested in the affairs of the Tang family.

Including Tang Ning, the new champion with unlimited prospects and some grudges against the Tang family, is also the object he wants to win over in recent days.

"How it doesn't matter!" Xiao Jue looked at King Kang and said: "Zhuang Yuanlang's hand was injured because of Tang Zhao, but this must be a misunderstanding, how could the Tang family do human trafficking, His Royal Highness King Kang thinks?" ”

King Kang looked at him, smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, the Tang family is the mainstay of our dynasty, so naturally it is impossible to do such evil things." ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up a glass of wine from the table, looked at Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "This king has admired Zhuang Yuanlang's talent for a long time, Zhuang Yuanlang is erudite and talented, and has unique views on political affairs. ”

Tang Ning looked at him, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has a good reputation, I have heard that Your Highness has both ability and political integrity, both civil and military, and it should be me who asks His Highness for advice." ”

After some mutual praise, after two glasses of wine, King Kang smiled and said: "This king still has some things, I will have a good drink with Zhuang Yuanlang another day!" ”

King Kang got up to leave, Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "You're too obvious, right?" ”

"You don't understand, you have to learn more from me about these things." Xiao Jue patted him on the shoulder and said, "Next, you just wait to watch the show." ”

King Kang walked to a table at the front and sat down, and a young man behind him stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, Little Grandpa Xiao is using us. ”

King Kang smiled and said, "Why am I not using them, and between you and me, why am I not using them?" As long as we have the same goals, that's enough. ”

His gaze swept over Tang Ning and then at Xiao Jue.

Since the death of Empress Xiao and the death of the former prince, the influence of the Xiao family has not been as good as before, but even so, this is still a force he desires, Old Man Xiao is old and has a son, Xiao Jue is the only seedling of the Xiao family, if you can win him, wouldn't it mean that you have won the Xiao family?

What's more, Tang Ning, the new champion, is a very rare talent, and he is already on the same page as the Tang family.

He picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Let people carefully investigate that case, and don't let go of any clues related to the Tang family." ”

The man bowed his hand and said, "Yes, my subordinates will arrange it immediately!" ”
