This is the first time Tang Ning has heard the news of the little manniu since he returned to Chen Guo.

What happened in the state of Chu hit her quite hard, and Tang Ning was still worried that she would collapse because of this, but now it seems that she is much stronger than he imagined.

"Lord Tang doesn't know, the situation on this grassland is different from ours, although most of the tribal leaders are men, but there are also women who have become tribal leaders, however, Wanyan is the majority, after the death of this generation of khans, it should still be passed on to the two princes......" Zhou Shilang continued to speak, and suddenly stopped his mouth at a certain moment, and stood aside respectfully.

A eunuch walked in, raised his voice, and said, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

"See Your Majesty'......"

After everyone saluted, Emperor Chen walked to the top and sat down, stretched out his hand and said, "All the ministers are exempt." ”

Emperor Chen summoned all the ministers and officials of various ministries to come over today, mainly to report on their work at the end of the year, probably to make a concluding speech.

The first to step forward was Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of War, he walked to the hall, arched his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is ordered to supervise the situation in the grassland, in the past year, the two departments of Jiagu and Shuhu have curbed the expansion of the Wanyan Department, but the Wanyan Department is as fierce as a tiger, even if it is temporarily trapped, there will always be a day when it will go down the mountain, and the minister suggests that the imperial court unite with the Chu State, and the joint army will go out to go deep into the grassland to completely eliminate the threat of the Wanyan Department......"

"I see." Emperor Chen nodded and said, "In this matter, the Ministry of War will first negotiate a charter, and I will also inform the envoys of the Chu State and let them go back to discuss." ”

Today's small meeting is not a court meeting, the officials of all ministries are concise and to the point, almost a formality, Tang Ning was a little surprised, this kind of occasion, obviously has nothing to do with him, I don't know what Emperor Chen asked him to do.

As soon as this thought rose in his heart, Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Tang Ning." ”

Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "The minister is here." ”

Emperor Chen said slowly: "I appointed you as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, hoping that you would be able to let me see a different Zuo Xiaowei. After the New Year's Festival, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the military department for the time being, I will hand over Zuo Xiaowei to you, give you a year, let you train Zuo Xiaowei well, I hope you don't let me down. ”

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

Other people's promotions and transfers are all regular to follow, but his is the same as playing, the Hanlin Academy has not been in for many days, and has started a round of six departments, and by the way, he sent an envoy to Chu State, and also organized a big competition, and the six departments did not finish, and they were arranged in the army.

He felt that he was a brick in the eyes of Emperor Chen, where he needed to move, the only good thing was that his life was always full ......of surprises, the household department would be replaced by the criminal department for a few months, the criminal department would be tired of changing the department, and the civil official would not seem so boring if he was a military general for a long time.

Emperor Chen looked at him and continued: "Also, the newspaper of Tang Renzhai must continue to be run, but when it comes to court affairs and officials in the DPRK and China, you must pay attention to the scale, not too much, and you can grasp the boundaries yourself......"

Everything needs to be measured, Tang Ning still has this pressure in his heart, and nodded and said, "Remember." ”

Emperor Chen told him these two things mainly about these two things, and then the one who came out to report on his work was Fang Hong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials.

Fang Hong stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the assessment of officials in the Ministry of Officials this year has been completed, in addition, due to the transfer of the former Lord Jingzhao Yin Sun to the Ministry of Officials, the position of Jingzhao Yin is vacant, regarding the position of Jingzhao Yin, the Ministry of Officials has selected a list, and there are a total of ten people on the list, which will be finalized by Your Majesty." ”

A eunuch handed over a copy of the fold in his hand, Emperor Chen looked at it, put it down, and said: "The position of Jing Zhaoyin is very important, and the officials should submit it to me after careful consideration." ”

Fang Hong's face moved, the meaning of His Majesty's words was that he was not satisfied with these ten people, and when the officials drafted again, they would all be eliminated, he looked up and arched his hand and said: The minister obeys the order. ”

The Ministry of Rites was followed by the Ministry of Rites, I saw Liu Feng come out, standing in the hall, first bowed, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has also ended the assessment of the education of the states and counties of Gyeonggi, among the 36 counties of Gyeonggi, the number of talents who should take the examination this year is stable compared with previous years, and the number of counties such as Chang'an Wannian has increased slightly, and there is a merit of education, and the number of talents in the examination in Pyongan County has decreased significantly compared with previous years, and the minister believes that this is the dereliction of duty of the Pyongan County Order in education......

"Ping'an County Order?" Emperor Chen had something in his mind, and suddenly looked at Tang Ning and asked, "If I am not mistaken, it seems that the Ping'an County Decree is your father-in-law, right?" ”

After Emperor Chen asked, the hall fell silent, and his words were not answered.

Zhou Shilang of the military department looked at Tang Ning, who seemed to be distracted, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and said, "Lord Tang, Your Majesty asked you!" ”

"Huh?" Tang Ning came back to his senses and whispered, "Ask me what?" ”

Zhou Shilang reminded: "Ping'an County ......"

Tang Ning immediately stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, although the Ping'an County Commander is the minister's father-in-law, the minister feels that his father-in-law has not been in office for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to handle the important task of Jing Zhaoyin......"

"What are you talking about?" Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Did I say that he should be Jing Zhaoyin?" ”

"Didn't you?" Tang Ning looked puzzled, and after coming to his senses, he immediately bowed down and said, "The minister was thinking about what Fang Shilang said just now, and he fell into a god for a while, please forgive your majesty for your sins......"

Everyone in the hall looked at him, and they didn't know what words to use to describe it, His Majesty asked if the Ping'an County Order was his father-in-law, and he replied that it was the vacancy of Jing Zhao Yin's position that Fang Shilang just said, and the Ping'an County Order was the fifth grade, and Jing Zhao Yin was already a member of the fourth grade, and he was promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth rank at one time, and he thought that the Ping'an County Order was his own?

These two three-yuan champions, one slept at the court meeting, and the other was distracted during the deliberations in the main hall, and answered His Majesty's questions differently, this kind of unseriousness, is it the common characteristic of smart people?

Emperor Chen glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, when you are in the palace in the future, give me a little more serious." ”

Although Jing Zhaoyin's position is embarrassing, and he often makes people inside and out, it is very important to the imperial court, whether it is controlled by King Kang or King Duan, it will become a sharp weapon for them to suppress the other party, and even affect the court situation, which is not what he wants to see.

Therefore, whether it was the squire of the household ministry or Jing Zhaoyin, Emperor Chen didn't want King Kang and King Duan's people to get involved, so he vetoed the nomination of the ministry, and he needed to find someone who was not involved in party disputes and had the ability to serve as a ......

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly froze, his eyes looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Tang Ning bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is distracted during the deliberations, and the minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty ......"

Emperor Chen looked at him, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and after a while, he said slowly: "The people who take the examination show talent in the imperial court every year fluctuate, and based on this alone, it cannot be determined that the Ping'an County Decree is negligent in education, besides, he has only been in the Ping'an County Decree for two years, and the matter of education is not to blame on his head, but I heard that he has been in office for two years, with outstanding political achievements and a very good reputation among the people, and he is also a rare talent......

He looked at Tang Ning and asked, "I remember, the Ping'an County Decree seems to be called Zhong Mingli, right?" ”

Tang Ning looked up in surprise, and when he saw the inexplicable smile on Emperor Chen's face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and nodded: "Yes......"
