The wrench made of moose antlers was finally completed, and Downing was very satisfied, although it was not as beautiful as those skilled craftsmen, but Downing had already shown his skills.

That's all there is to it, Tang Ning carefully put away the wrench in his hand, and waited for the emperor's thousand autumn feast to come.

With the approach of the Qianqiu Festival, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare with great fanfare, at this time it was already known to everyone in the capital, fortunately Tang Ning had already known in advance, otherwise he really didn't know how to prepare in a hurry.

It is the late autumn season, although the leaves are withering and the autumn wind is sluggish, but the blue sky is like a wash, and the royal gardens are full of lights, and there is a jubilant atmosphere everywhere.

The quiet and remote royal garden is unprecedentedly lively, the ministers and nobles, the royal relatives and relatives are all together, the traffic is busy, and Tang Ning is wearing a unicorn costume and walking in the royal garden is not eye-catching at all.

The congratulatory gift has been offered, Tang Ning's mentality is very relaxed, so many people congratulate him, Tang Ning's gift is really like a drop in the ocean.

The bustling scene in front of him really made Tang Ning feel a sentence, the three products in the capital are not as good as dogs. Of course, this is not to say that those officials who hold real power, but there are too many loose officials and false titles.

I don't know where so many officials, nobles, and relatives of the emperor came from. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were sweating profusely and were busy ranking according to their ranks, and they were about to collectively congratulate the emperor, and the ranking was exquisite.

Downing watched from the corner, he didn't care about any of this, even if he was at the bottom of the line. In his heart, he didn't want to be at the front.

But he still thinks too much, there is no part of him in front of him, he is just a second-grade general, and there are from the first product in front, and there is a super product in front of the first product.

In fact, there was already a long queue in front, but it was still not Tang Ning's turn, Tang Ning stood in the corner and laughed at himself, he wouldn't forget about him, the commander of the Nanshan battalion, that feeling good.

It is impossible to forget, it is impossible for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to make such a big mistake and omission, a Lang Zhong searched around in the crowd, and finally saw Tang Ning, hurriedly ran over, and said in a loud voice: "Oh, why is General Tang Ning hiding here, let the lower officials find it, it's your turn!" ”

Tang Ning smiled and followed him to the middle of the queue, the end of the second grade to be exact. Not to mention, there are still people I know all around, all of whom were people who followed the emperor in the autumn hunt.

The cultural relics and nobles were led by the two princes to congratulate the emperor, and the women over there were led by the imperial concubines. Three bows and nine knocks congratulated the emperor on his thousand autumns, and the Ministry of Rites presented nine poems and songs.

The lengthy etiquette was finally over, and Tang Ning exchanged pleasantries with the generals he knew well, and then wandered around the garden.

The emperor is surrounded by super-grade princes and marquises, senior imperial relatives and relatives, and Tang Ning, a second-grade commander, will not be bored and move forward.

If someone asked him what kind of congratulatory gift he would give to the emperor, wouldn't Tang Ning be embarrassed? The wrench of the moose's antlers is not a rare and precious thing.

After all, it is the emperor's Thousand Autumn Festival, and the garden is very lively, you can not only have a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of the royal garden, but also listen to the drama and watch juggling.

Tang Ning wandered all the way, and a man who looked like a civil official saw Tang Ning's eyes light up and greeted him, and said with a smile: "But the Nanshan battalion is the commander of General Tang?" ”

There were even civil officials who came up to greet him, and Tang Ning was really a little surprised: "Exactly, I don't know who the adults are?" ”

The civil official said enthusiastically: "The lord is heroic and extraordinary, and he is so young and chic, it is difficult to find a second person in the capital, so the lower official recognized it at a glance, and it was indeed General Tang!" ”

A civil official is so enthusiastic about himself? Tang Ning was puzzled, if a military attache is enthusiastic about himself, since ancient times, he has always been light on civil and military, and he has never been able to urinate in a pot, why is he so enthusiastic about himself?

Seeing that Tang Ning had doubts on his face, the civil official smiled and said, "Qiu Jin, the lower official Zhan Shifu." ”

The Zhan Mansion is in charge of royal affairs and serves the prince, princess, and concubine. So when Tang Ning heard the word Zhan Shi, he immediately thought of the prince.

Could it be that because he was promoted by the emperor to the commander of the capital and became the commander of the Beijing camp, the second prince became interested in him again?

Although the Nanshan camp was abolished in the past, some time ago, Tangning urged a high-profile salary, and many people felt that the Nanshan camp might be about to usher in a turnaround.

Then the emperor personally urged the military department to replace the ordnance for the Nanshan battalion, and even the most sluggish people understood that the Nanshan battalion was really going to be transferred.

Although the Nanshan battalion was defeated and suffered heavy losses, the Nanshan battalion still had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it was only a few dozen miles away from the capital.

In just half a year, Tang Ning was above the clouds, and he was only a small commander before, with only thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he was controlled by layers of officials.

Now, Tang Ning has been promoted to the commander of the capital and is in charge of the Nanshan battalion, whether it is the military department or the governor's office of the five armies, it is not good to dictate the Nanshan battalion, this is the real authority.

Regardless of the saints, in less than a year, Tang Ning has already become a powerful general in the army from a middle-level general.

After his mind turned to determine that he was the second prince, Tang Ning felt a little embarrassed in his heart, you said that you are not a prince to please the emperor, and you are always staring at what you are doing with labor and capital.

If you offend and offend, you can't afford to make friends, you don't dare to make friends, it's difficult to grasp the balance between this, and the danger factor is too great, you can't afford to provoke, you can't afford to provoke.

Although his heart was in response, a smile still welled up on Tang Ning's face, and he smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be Qiu Zhan's matter, fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”

Although Zhan Shi is only a five-grade official and has no real power, he is a close minister to the prince, so Tang Ning behaved very politely, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see ghosts.

Seeing Tang Ning smiling so politely, Qiu Zhanshi smiled and said: "General Tang is a young talent, famous in the capital, and the lower officials have always been fascinated, and today I have to comfort my life!" ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "Qiu Zhan has won the award, he has won the award!" ”

Qiu Zhanshi shook his head and smiled: "General Tang is not only a genius, but also so humble, no wonder His Majesty is so trusted. Even His Royal Highness often admires that General Tang is really a pillar of talent! ”

Although he had a smile on his face all the time, Tang Ning was really taken aback in his heart, he thought that this Qiu Zhanshi was the person of the second prince, but he didn't expect it to be the person of the eldest prince.

Doesn't he have a dislike for the eldest prince? This person turned out to be the person next to the eldest prince, but today he is enthusiastic about himself, and he definitely did not decide without authorization, he must have been instructed by the eldest prince.

Unexpectedly, even the eldest prince sent someone to recruit him, it seems that he really flew up the branch and became a phoenix and became a fragrant bait.
