There are four divisions under the Ministry of Officials, namely the Department of Officials, the Department of Seals, the Division of Honors, and the Department of Examination and Merit.

Together, these four divisions are in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the officials of the world, examinations, promotions, awards, transfers and other affairs, because the officials are in Beijing, but they are in charge of the officials of the world, so the officials of the officials are not idle, and it is common for them to go on business trips for several months in a row.

At this time, it is the new year's imperial examination, in previous years, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials were the key selection places for the imperial examination examiners, and this year is naturally no exception, plus Chen Guo's semi-annual official assessment is coming, there are many people who need to be sent out, and the Ministry of Officials is obviously understaffed, and Tang Ning was drawn by Emperor Chen to be a strong man at this time.

Zhou Shangshu was ill, Fang Hong and Sun Qian were not in the yamen, and the affairs of the ministry were temporarily handed over to Tang Ning to handle.

He first familiarized himself with the senior officials of the ministry, and he didn't see anything greasy on the surface, as subordinates, they were all respectful to themselves, without the slightest abnormality, especially Si Feng Langzhong, who was even more enthusiastic about him, and the enthusiastic Tang Ning was a little unaccustomed.

However, this does not mean that there are no people from the Tang family in the ministry, if it were him, he would not give his boss a look on the first day.

An official walked in, handed him a copy of the fold, and said, "Tang Shilang, this is the list of officials sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for this time, please take a look, if there is no problem, you can submit it." ”

This official is the secretary of the department, as the head of the four divisions of the department, the status of the ministry is naturally the most respected, and he has survived enough qualifications in the position of the minister, and becoming a waiter is just around the corner.

The list of expatriate officials is nothing more than who is in charge of which state and which state, and there is nothing to look at when I go to assess the local officials, Tang Ning glanced at it, handed it to him, and said, "Then hand it over like this." ”

After taking it, Shilang put it down and said: "This list was set by Lord Zhou before, originally Lord Fang was in charge of Jiangnan Dao, but now Lord Fang is going to Jingdong Road to take the main exam, and it is too late in time, and Tang Shilang needs to appoint another person." ”

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Is there any idle in the test of merit, then let him go." ”

Jiangnan Province should be the richest place in the entire Chen State, where there is no foreign enemy invasion, food is sufficient, the people live in peace, and a considerable part of the annual taxes of the Chen State are collected from the two provinces of Jiangnan.

Even Tang Zhao knew that he went to Jiangnan to hide when he got into trouble, which was enough to prove that it was really a good place.

An errand in this kind of place, even if you don't go to a squire, at least you have to be a squire.

The official Shi Langzhong nodded and said, "Then the lower official will fill in Zhang Langzhong's name." ”

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you don't know how many chores there are in the yamen.

Tang Ning has been in charge of the official department for the past two days, and all kinds of miscellaneous things have continued, so that he has not gone home on time for a day.

Today, I finally waited until the next office, and no one came in, there should be nothing to do, Tang Ning sorted out his clothes, walked out of the duty room, and happened to bump into Langzhong.

The official Lang Zhong took a step back, bowed and said, "Lord Tang." ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Something?" ”

The official nodded and said, "Something." ”

Tang Ning waited to go back to dinner, and said, "If you're not in a hurry, we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

The official Langzhong said helplessly: "It's in a hurry." ”

After a while, Tang Ning sat back in his chair, and Langzhong stood beside him and said, "Zhang Langzhong of the Gong Division is injured, and the injury is not light, and the doctor said that he needs to recuperate for at least a month." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "I should ask for leave for injury, I will approve his leave, when will he recover from his injury and come back." ”

The official Langzhong shook his head and said: "What the official means is that the official originally arranged for Zhang Langzhong to go to Jiangnan Province, but now Zhang Langzhong is injured, and he will not get better for a while, and the examination is imminent, and the candidates who go to Jiangnan Province this time are afraid that they will be reappointed." ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a suitable candidate besides him?" ”

The official Langzhong nodded and said: "Jiangnan Road is extremely valued, in previous years, one of the two waiters went, and this year it happened that the two waiters had important things to do and couldn't get out of their bodies, so they could also retreat and send one Lang Zhong, and now Gong Kao Lang Zhong is injured, as well as Si Feng Lang Zhong and Si Xun Lang Zhong." ”

Tang Ning said casually: "Then Si Xun Langzhong, this kind of trivial matter, you just look at the arrangement." ”

The official Langzhong nodded and arched his hand: "Then the official will inform Zhao Langzhong." ”

Tang Ning stayed in the Ministry of Officials for only a few days, and found a very serious problem, the Ministry of Officials' way of reporting to the officials in every detail, is really unfriendly to the officials.

No wonder Zhou Shangshu gets sick every now and then, he is still so tired when he is old, even if he is not sick, he is tired and sick.

He decided to give himself two days off, to accompany Xiaoru Xiaoyi tomorrow and Tang Xiaoxiao the day after tomorrow.

The reason why he wanted to accompany Tang Xiaoyao was to pretend to be affectionate in front of everyone, and this was actually what the rich man Tang asked him to do.

The reason he gave was that if Tang Yaoyao, as a bride, was always alone, others would suspect that her daughter was not treated well at home, what did outsiders think, and what did the Tang family's maids think?

Not only that, but he also wanted Tang Ning to stay in Tang Yaoyao's room at night, no less than Zhong Yi and Su Ru, so that the maids of the Tang family would not feel that the third lady was not favored or anything......

Not only did he have to accompany Tang Yaoyao to go shopping, but also to sleep with her, if it wasn't for the rich man Tang explaining everything in detail, Tang Ning would definitely think he was crazy.

After a day of shopping, Tang Ning looked at Tang Xiaoyao and asked, "I'll sleep on the ground tonight, the weather has been warm recently, and the ground is not too cold......

Before today, because of the cold weather and the cold on the ground, he and Tang Fairy shared the same bed, but she slept too dishonestly, Tang Ning was tossed by her and woke up several times every night, although several times in the morning he woke up by her two long legs, as a rag doll to hold------ but that feeling, it is better to sleep on the ground.

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said, "Do you think it's rare for me to sleep in the same bed with you, you often talk in your sleep at night, and you wake me up......"

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "That's better than you moving around and drooling......"

As a woman, it is a very shameless thing to be disgusted and drool when you sleep.

Tang Yaoyao stomped his foot violently and said angrily: "Who drooled!" ”

There was a "click" sound in his ears, and Tang Ning didn't have to look down to know that a certain brick in the yard needed to be replaced again.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Actually, I just wanted to say that your drooling appearance is quite cute......"

……

In fact, if you think about it from another angle, there is nothing wrong with marrying a wife like Tang Yaoyao.

In these years, there are not many women who can sleep together, sparring partners, and be bodyguards at critical moments.

After comforting himself like this, and thinking about Xiao Jue again, Tang Ning's mood instantly improved.

He re-entered the yamen of the ministry, and as soon as he came to the duty room, the ministry's secretary Langzhong walked in quickly and said, "Lord Tang, you are finally back!" ”

Tangning looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on again?" ”

"Si Xun Si Zhao Langzhong, was taken away by the people of Dali Temple yesterday, saying that there was a royal history to find out that when he took the exam a few years ago, he accepted bribes from officials and concealed the truth from the local government and did not report it......"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "So, the people sent to Jiangnan Province are going to change again?" ”

The official Lang said: "Once the crime in Si Xun Lang is implemented, he must be questioned, and making a fuss in the examination class is a big crime that the official department will never tolerate......"

Kao Gonglang was injured, and Si Xunlang was investigated......

Tang Ning was slightly surprised in his heart, this Jiangnan Province is really an evil place, who to choose to go to who is unlucky?

Thinking about it carefully, he felt that this situation seemed somewhat familiar, as familiar as if he had experienced it himself......
