Arrogance, in the eyes of King Kang and King Duan, if there is any word to describe Tang Ning at this moment, it is only arrogance.

"The minister is guilty, and the minister is deliberate." It's like slapping someone in the face and saying, "I'm sorry, I did it on purpose."

He's looking for death.

King Duan looked at him, the corners of his mouth rose, and King Kang glanced at him with an indifferent gaze.

Only in King Huai's eyes, a hint of discoloration appeared for the first time, Wei Jian stood behind Emperor Chen, glanced at Tang Ning, and smiled.

Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning, unable to see an expression on his face, and said, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"The minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty." Tang Ning raised his head and said, "There is a bit of a contradiction between the minister and Liu Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister did it on purpose this time. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "What contradiction?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and said: "A few days ago, after the finals of the Sixteen Wei Competition, Liu Shilang deliberately embarrassed the minister in front of His Majesty and the lords in the court, and the minister and Liu Shilang had no grudge or hatred, but he was so to the minister, although the big competition has ended, but these days, every time I think of this matter, I still feel wronged in my heart, and it is difficult to eat and sleep, this revenge is not avenged, and the minister, the minister is difficult to calm after all......

The two eunuchs serving in the hall looked at Tang Ning, and the muscles on their faces twitched twice.

A trivial matter a few days ago, I actually remembered it now, it is just difficult to eat and sleep, and it is difficult to calm down, this Lord Tang is really cautious...... It's cute.

"I see." Emperor Chen glanced at the tent on the left side of the main hall, and his face showed a bit of triumph, and then he looked at Tang Ning with a solemn expression, and said: "Be open-minded for officials, Liu Shilang may also be an unintentional mistake, how can you remember until now, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate?" ”

Tang Ning lowered his head and said, "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty......"

Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you are also excusable, I will not punish you this time, but I will not take it as an example." ”

Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

"There's one more thing I forgot." Emperor Chen looked at him, remembered something, and said: "You are now a Zhonglang general, and the grades of the two women in the family should also be improved, so they will seal the four-grade and five-grade orders together, and reward a pair of jade Ruyi and two hundred tribute silk......"

Tang Ning bowed again: "The ministers thanked Your Majesty!" ”

King Kang and King Duan's faces were dull, and they saw that things seemed to be developing in some strange way.

Tang Ning slandered the officials of the imperial court, and admitted it himself, but not only was he not punished, but he received many rewards...... Is Father Crazy?

If it's not that the father is crazy, then they must be crazy.

Tang Ning stood in place, secretly relieved in his heart, although it can be said to be an unintentional mistake, but warnings and punishments are inevitable.

Fortunately, on the way to come just now, he found Lao Wei to make up for the lesson, and combined with what he realized in the past two days, he successfully played the role of a stupid white sweet officialdom, and it is said that Emperor Chen likes this tune.

After thanking him, Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Since you have been appointed as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, you can stay in the military department for a few more days, and I will make other arrangements in the future." ”

Tang Ning bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Emperor Chen picked up a letter from the table and said, "It just so happened that I was talking to them about who should be the right attendant of the ministry, since you are here, let me tell you my opinion by the way." ”

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "I have already selected three people from the ten, in terms of qualifications and ability, Liu Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yan, and Yin Sun Qian, Jingzhao, are all competent, Duanwang chose Liu Feng, and King Kang chose Li Yan, who do you think is more suitable among the three?" ”

Emperor Chen's voice fell, King Duan frowned slightly, and King Kang looked at Tang Ning and gave him a look.

Tang Ning had long known that Emperor Chen had this problem, and he always gathered the three princes together and asked them for their views on political affairs, and he didn't want to be involved.

"I can't choose it." Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chen and said, "The right servant of the Ministry of Officials has a great responsibility, and Lord Li Yan and Lord Sun Qian are not familiar with it, so they dare not speak falsely. ”

King Duan's brows stretched, and King Kang looked at Tang Ning's gaze, and suddenly became fierce.

Emperor Chen looked at him and said in surprise, "What about Liu Feng?" ”

Tang Ning said: "The minister doesn't like Lord Liu, so he won't choose him." ”

Chen Huang looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Your reason is really straightforward......

However, he didn't ask any more questions, looked at King Huai, and asked, "Rui'er, what do you think?" ”

"Erchen, Erchen......" King Huai looked left and right, and said, "Erchen and these three adults are not too ......"

Halfway through his speech, he remembered that Tang Ning had already used this reason just now, glanced at him with a complaining look, and then said: "Erchen heard that during the reign of Lord Li Yan, Master Li was conscientious and should be able to perform this position. ”

A smile finally appeared on King Kang's face, and King Duan's brows furrowed slightly.

No matter who is the right attendant of the ministry, it will not be of any benefit to Tang Ning, but after King Kang and King Huai of Duan expressed their positions, he already knew who this position was.

Chen Huang was extremely suspicious, and the person he was most suspicious of was none other than his three sons.

They chose Liu Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, so they should congratulate Jingzhao Yin Sun Qian in advance.

Jing Zhaoyin's position is really not so easy to sit, the powerful in Beijing, few can afford to offend, after Emperor Chen gave his father-in-law a brand, he is not even as comfortable as Ping'an County, this time it can be regarded as a bitter and sweet come, and the daughter-in-law of many years has become a mother-in-law......

Emperor Chen looked at them and said, "You guys go down first, I will think about this matter later." ”

After a few people exited the main hall, Emperor Chen looked at a figure coming out of the back of the tent and asked, "How is it, I guessed correctly, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise." The middle-aged man bowed his hand and said, "This Lord Tang is too straight......

Emperor Chen looked out of the hall and said, "There are many crooked intestines in the court, if there are a few more rectums, I won't have to be so tired." ”

The middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "Then Your Majesty thinks who is more suitable for the position of the servant of the ministry?" ”

Emperor Chen retracted his gaze and said, "Sun Qian, this person is not bad. ”

He turned his head to look at Wei Jian and said, "Announce him to enter the palace." ”

……

After walking out of the imperial study, King Duan left directly, King Kang glanced at Tang Ning, his expression was extremely dissatisfied, he did not speak, and also strode away.

King Huai stood beside him, turned his head and asked, "Lord Tang will go back to the Hanlin Courtyard or leave the palace?" ”

After being reminded by King Huai, Tang Ning realized that in addition to the military department Langzhong and Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang, he seemed to have the identity of a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy.

He looked at King Huai and said, "Get out of the palace." ”

"Just drop by." King Huai smiled and said, "It's better to be together." ”

He walked side by side with Tang Ning, walked a few steps, and suddenly said, "Can you discuss something with Lord Tang?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

King Huai looked at him and said, "In the future, when Your Majesty asks, can you let this king speak first?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him, shook his head and said, "Then it depends on who Your Majesty asks first......

Tang Ning sighed in his heart, these days, it is not easy to be a stupid and sweet official, not only has to fight wits and courage with the emperor, but also has to deal with the competition from another stupid white sweet prince, and if you accidentally even have your lines, the other party will rob you......

King Huai didn't delve into this issue, and asked casually: "It is said that Lord Tang still understands the art of war?" ”

Tang Ning replied casually: "I understand a little." ”

King Huai clasped his hands and said: "Zuo Xiaowei won the first place in the Sixteen Wei Competition, which is enough to prove that Lord Tang does not just know a little about the art of war, you are too humble......"

Downing said, "A great man once said that humility makes people progress. ”

King Huai thought for a moment and wondered, "Which great man?" ”

"Forgot ......"

……

Tang Ning and King Huai paced slowly, chatting with each other, and changed the topic when they couldn't go on, the strange thing was that they didn't feel embarrassed to chat like this, it was the first time he felt this way.

When he walked slowly to the gate of the palace, a figure hurriedly walked in.

This person was wearing a scarlet official uniform and a silverfish bag at his waist, he should be an official above the fifth rank and below the third rank, and he hurriedly entered the palace, not knowing what was urgent.

He walked in front of the two of them, paused, and bowed: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Huai." ”

King Huai did not speak, but only nodded, and the official raised his head, glanced at him, met his gaze, and paused for a moment, and then quickly moved away, lowered his head, and hurried towards the palace.

Tang Ning looked back and asked, "This lord is very raw, does His Royal Highness King Huai know who he is?" ”

"It turns out that Lord Tang really didn't perfunctory his father just now." King Huai put his hands behind his back, turned around to look at him, and said, "He is Jing Zhaoyin, Sun Qian." ”
