Chapter 209: The Battle of the Two Kings
Tang Ning's appointment of Hanlin Xiu is from the sixth grade, the official rank is not high, there is no need to go to the court, in fact, the Hanlin Academy is all Qing nobles, usually there are not many things, and clocking in and out of work is exactly the life that Tang Ning yearns for.
Although he has been ordained, there are still three full months before he can take office at the latest.
Although he could have joined the company early, he still had some things to do in the past three months.
The first is naturally to make money.
He hasn't joined the company yet, and he doesn't even have a salary, so he naturally has to find a way to support his family.
With the meager offering of the Hanlin Temple, it is only enough to sustain a living, and the more silver the better, in addition to supporting the family, the beggars who can be self-reliant in most things also have places where they need to spend money.
He is not Tang Xiaoxiao, he can gamble a million net worth by gambling casually, and he has a father with a net worth of more than one million, and his happy life depends on his own hands.
Tang Xiaoyao twitched him lightly with a wooden stick and said, "Raise your arm a little higher." ”
During this time, although Tang Ning was busy, he did not fall behind in practice.
He asked Tang Yaoyao, and he also asked the old beggar, there is no obvious division of martial arts cultivation on the rivers and lakes, and if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no specific measurement method for this thing.
However, although there is no specific division, there are still vague boundaries.
The third-rate master can already be called the master of the stream, this kind of thing The old beggar has the most right to speak, according to him, Peng Chen and Tang Yaoyao are both in this realm, Tang Xiaoyao is a little more powerful, probably already at the top of the third-rate, but there is still a distance from the second-rate.
Those who can be classified as second-rate are already considered strong, Li Tianlan who has broken through the realm is counted as one, the guard Ling Yun beside the emperor is also counted as one, and Tang Ning only knows these two young masters.
As for the first-class masters, it is amazing, although it is not to be said that they are rare, but each of them is a giant on the rivers and lakes, and has the ability to open a sect.
Tang Ning felt that Zheng Butcher should be counted as one, and as for the old beggar, he might be considered powerful among first-class masters.
Of course, these are too far away from him, with the current division of the strength of people who practice martial arts on the rivers and lakes, he should not belong to the stream, and there is still a long way to go from the third rate.
However, although the strength is not strong, it is still very easy to climb over the wall and climb the window, Tang Ning has not been practicing martial arts for a long time, and he is very satisfied with his current entry.
He walked to the corner, squatted down, looked at the old beggar and asked, "What is the level of Miss Su's martial arts?" ”
"That little fox, you say?" The old beggar burped and said, "It's barely second-rate, but if you really do it, your two little friends together are no match for her." ”
"Which two?"
The old beggar glanced at Li Tianlan, who had just walked in, and then looked at Tang Yaoxiao, whose sword speed was getting faster and faster, and said: "It's rare to be born with charming bones, if you want to turn her into a good little friend, as soon as possible, after this village, there will be no such shop." ”
The old and unserious, what a little good-looking, how ugly is the name......
As for the natural charm, Su Mei has nothing to do with the word "charm" except for the charm in her name, and she doesn't feel where she is when she lies in the same bed.
He stood up and walked over, looked at Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, and introduced to Li Tianlan: "This is Xiaoxiao, now it is my sister." ”
He looked at Xiaoxiao again, "This is Sister Li." ”
Xiaoxiao looked up at her and whispered, "Sister Li." ”
Up to now, Xiaoxiao no longer has that kind of vigilance and defense against the people Tang Ning introduced to her.
Tang Ning poured her a cup of tea and asked, "You should be leaving, right?" ”
Li Tianlan nodded and said, "A few months at most, when all the details are discussed with the imperial court, we will leave for Chu State." ”
Tang Ning calculated, they had been in Chen Country for nearly a year, and it was time to go back.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Will you come back next year?" ”
The state of Chu had to pay tribute to the state of Chen every year, and when one group of envoys left, another group of envoys arrived.
Li Tianlan took a sip of tea and said, "The tribute has become once every three years, and in the future, I may not come." ”
Tang Ning had long known that her identity should not be an envoy, but he didn't know what her specific identity was.
He looked at Li Tianlan, looked at her, and asked, "Are you the princess of Chu State?" ”
The royal family of Chu is surnamed Li, and all the envoys are respectful to her, she is a daughter, but she can get the champion, and her background in Chu must be heavenly, this is a guess by Tang Ning.
Li Tianlan shook his head and said, "No. ”
"But you're not an envoy either." Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What is your identity?" ”
Li Tianlan looked at him, smiled mysteriously, and said, "I'll know when you come to Chu State." ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Then there should be no chance." ”
After Li Tianlan returned to Chu State, if there is no accident, I am afraid that there will be no chance to see each other again in the future, although there is no banquet in the world, but they are brothers who have lived and died together, so he left her to drink two more cups of tea.
After Li Tianlan left, Tang Xiaoxiao stopped practicing, sat opposite him, hid the joy on his face, and asked, "She's going home?" ”
"yes." Tang Ning sighed and said, "I'm going to leave in a while." ”
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "You are very reluctant to her?" ”
"Friends, naturally a little reluctant." Tang Ning said a word, suddenly looked at her and asked, "When will you go back to Lingzhou?" ”
Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said, "I can go back whenever I want, can you control it?" ”
Tang Ning looked at her and explained, "I mean, if you're not in a hurry to go back, I have something to discuss with you. ”
He is going to open a bookstore in Beijing, and there are already successful cases of "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", and opening a bookstore is almost a profitable business.
However, he doesn't have enough money and needs to find an angel investor, and Tang Yaoyao looks quite like an angel.
"Open a bookstore, we cooperate?" Tang Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "Okay." ”
The daughter of the rich man Tang still has a pair of discerning eyes, and agreed without hesitation.
She thought for a while and said, "What is the name of the bookstore, or is it called "Xiaoxiaozhai"? ”
"It's terrible." Tang Ning shook his head and said, "It's better to call it Tang Ning Zhai, it's much better than Xiao Xiao Zhai." ”
Tang Yaoyao squinted at him.
"Otherwise, I have a compromise." Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Combining the names of the two of us can make you in front, what do you think?" ”
"Young?"
Tang Yaoyao shook his head, "It's hard to hear." ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "One person takes one word." ”
"Yao Ningzhai?" Tang Yaoyao thought about it and said, "It's not good." ”
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Why don't you take your Tang and take my Ning?" ”
……
In the past two days, the people of Beijing have been paying close attention to a case.
The Black Tiger Gang abducted and trafficked human beings, and the Tang family was also involved, and His Majesty ordered the Criminal Department, the Yushitai, and the Dali Temple to be tried, and the case was about to be investigated.
In previous years, there were not several triments of the three divisions, and once the three divisions were alarmed, beheading was the lightest result, and in serious cases, Ling Chi might even be sentenced.
After hearing about this, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang committed suicide by hitting the wall in prison that night, and although he still lost his life, he also ended up with a whole corpse.
The leader of the Black Tiger Gang committed suicide in fear of crime, and after the review of the three divisions, the direct relationship between the Tang family and the Black Tiger Gang in human trafficking was not found.
The public resentment in this case is very great, thinking that Tang Zhao was injured, although His Majesty did not punish him too severely, but also made a will never be hired, after this incident, Tang Zhao's career path was completely broken.
At the same time, a squire belonging to the Tang family's faction in the household department was inexplicably transferred out of Beijing, although the official rank has not changed, but since then, the Tang family and Duanwang have almost lost their manpower in the household department.
These are also regarded as one of His Majesty's punishments for the Tang family.
In short, this battle between the two kings ended with King Kang's complete victory.
Duanwangfu.
The furious Duan Wang had already broken several tea cups and scolded: "Fools, all fools! ”
On the contrary, King Kang's Mansion, King Kang was full of smiles, hugged two women in his arms, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Come on, prepare two generous gifts, one to send to Xiao's Mansion, and the other to Zhuang Yuanlang......"
