Chapter 200: Fighting Horses and Royal Street
The alliance between Chen and Chu seems to have come to a standstill, and both the government and the opposition and the people have cooled down on this matter.
However, Tang Ning knew very well that they had only shifted the alliance from the open side to the covert, and focused on promoting internal friction among the prudent people.
Emperor Chen summoned an envoy of the Chu State yesterday and reached a preliminary agreement, presumably that the two countries would choose one of the two tribes of Jiagu and Shuhu to support them, so as to consume the strength of the Yan Division, and if this method is effective, this will become a long-term policy of the two countries towards the grassland.
These things are worried about by the high-level leaders of the two countries, and Tang Ning has to prepare to attend today's Qionglin banquet.
In the morning, he took the time to go to the house, if the weather was okay and the construction progress was normal, he would be able to live in it soon after the Qionglin feast.
Xiaoyi and Xiaoru will live in the county government for the time being, they won't move in until June, and the beginning of June is an auspicious day, compared to the Qionglin banquet, this is what he is looking forward to more.
"Okay, let's enjoy a copper for dinner......"
When he walked back to the county office, he casually threw a piece of broken silver to the little beggar begging on the street, and bought a jar of wine for the old beggar before going back with Peng Chen.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Liu Lao Er and them for a long time.
Since they came to Jingshi, they haven't looked for him again, and they have indeed been busy during this time, and after today, he will ask them about the situation.
On the street, the little beggar looked at the broken silver in the bowl, and after being stunned, he quickly pinched it in the palm of his hand.
Suddenly there was a huge force behind him, his body flew out and fell to the ground, and a beggar came over, picked up the broken silver, looked at him, and said, "Next time I see it, I will break your leg, and if you break your leg, you will be able to ask for more." ”
The little beggar got up trembling all over, and the beggar looked at him and said coldly, "Go to another street!" ”
Not far away, Liu Lao Er leaned against a corner, pointed to the little beggar, and said to a beggar beside him: "You continue to follow him today, don't lose it again, you must find where their lair is." ”
"Yes, Elder!"
The beggar answered, went out into the street, and hung far behind the little beggar.
Liu Lao Er poked the people on the side and asked, "Lao Ren, can the government take care of this matter?" ”
"It's hard to say." Ren Pingsheng shook his head and said: "They abducted and sold these children to Jingshi and forced them to beg along the streets. ”
Liu Lao Er frowned and said, "If we don't solve them, we won't be able to complete the task assigned to us by the helper." ”
Ren Pingsheng thought for a while and said, "Wait until tomorrow, you go and ask the helper." ”
Liu Lao Er was about to speak, when a beggar behind him suddenly poked his shoulder and said in shock: "Elder, look over there, that little beggar over there......"
Liu Lao Er looked in the direction of his finger and saw a small figure slowly moving out of a narrow alley somewhere in front of him.
It was a little beggar, and when he moved to the mouth of the alley, he looked around vigilantly, and then ran quickly to the front of the bun shop next to him.
Liu Lao Er rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken, his face showed ecstasy, and he strode over there.
The little beggar was about to leave with a bun in his hand, when he saw several beggars walking towards this side not far away, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and he quickly ran towards the alley where he came.
Liu Lao Er was stunned, and immediately said: "Chase quickly, you must find him!" ”
The little beggar ran about in the alley, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, and in a short time he ran out of an alley near the city gate.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from ahead.
"You're quite able to hide, we've been looking for months, and this time I'll see where you run!"
Seeing the two beggars in front of him, the little beggar's face changed again, and when he quickly turned his head and ran into the alley, he found that there were two other beggars standing behind him.
A beggar crossed his arms around his chest and mocked: "You are running, why don't you run, I will break your leg when you go back, see how you run!" ”
He waved his hand and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, take him back!" ”
Farther away, Liu Lao Er and the others watched this scene from a distance, and a beggar hurriedly asked, "Elder, what should we do?" ”
Liu Lao Er thought for a while and said, "Let's follow them, you go to the county government to tell the helper, and then meet at the old place!" ”
The beggar ran all the way to the county office, holding the stone lion at the gate of the county office, pointing to a servant, and said loudly: "I'm looking for a help......er, looking for Tang Gongzi!" ”
The official recognized him as the beggar from last time, and said, "Zhuang Yuanlang has gone to the banquet, you can come back tomorrow." ”
……
The Qionglin banquet is held in the evening, and all important banquets are night banquets.
At this time, it was not yet noon, but Tang Ning was already in the palace.
He almost forgot that although the banquet was in the evening, on the day of the Qionglin banquet, the new Jinshi would enter the palace before noon, change into the Jinshi crown prepared for them by the imperial court, set off from the palace, walk around the Jingshi, and finally return to the palace.
This is probably the moment when the new science and technology jinshi has the longest face.
At that time, almost all the people of Beijing will gather on the main street, and the restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the street will definitely be overcrowded, especially on the second floor on the side of the street, and the location was booked a few days in advance.
It may sound like a queue to be visited, but even so, there are countless people who can't think about this kind of opportunity.
After a series of procedures such as roll call in the palace, Tang Ning wore the crown of champions, rode a horse, and slowly walked out of the palace gate.
Those who are qualified to ride horses are only the first in the palace test, and this time there are only Tang Ning and Xiao Jue, Gu Bai and Cui Lang, and they can only follow on foot.
Xiao Jue was a position behind him, fiddled with the big red flower on his chest a few times, and muttered, "This thing is too ugly......
Tang Ning also wore a big red flower on his chest, which was bigger than Xiao Jue's, and everyone followed behind, just the two of them were wearing a big red flower and riding on a horse, looking a little weird.
And since walking out of the palace gate, on both sides of the street, there are people standing in Beijing, cheering endlessly, passing by those two-story buildings on the side of the street, there are girls and ladies will throw handkerchiefs down.
"That's the champion, so handsome, what a talent......"
"Don't be spring, I heard that Zhuang Yuanlang is already married, you don't have a chance."
"If you don't have a chance, it's okay to be a concubine......"
"You can consider Grandpa Xiao, he hasn't gotten married yet!"
"You don't know, I heard that Xiao Grandpa is him, what kind of ...... is he?"
……
On both sides of the road, the people greeted each other, the guards in front opened the way, followed by more than 200 new science and technology scholars, only the two of them rode horses, Tang Ning felt that this scene must be very forced, but unfortunately he couldn't see it himself.
The four happy events in life, the long-term drought and the rain, the old acquaintance in another country, the night of the candle in the cave room, the title of the gold list, Tang Ning has already completed the title of the gold list, and it is also the day of the horse royal street, the day of the candle in the cave house, it is not far ......away, such a thing, I will not come back for the second time in my life.
In the crowd, a beggar saw the figure on his horse, and after being stunned, he quickly squeezed forward.
