Three days later, Lin Chaoying and others entered the palace to listen to the seal, and the champion Zhao Yuanjia, Bangyan Guo Lingyi, Tanhua Zhou Tao and other three people were directly assigned to enter the Hanlin Academy to do a positive five-grade editing; Several others were placed in six messengers, each with a different rank and a director. Wu Zhuangyuan Lieutenant Chi Shanan was awarded the rank of First Class Light Vehicle Lieutenant and transferred from Sanpin to the Northern Army. Bangyan Tanhua and others were each named cavalry captains and transferred from Sipin to the Gyeonggi camp, and Lin Chaoying and others were appointed as cavalry captains from Liupinyun to the eastern army. As for some of the children of the family who were in the top 20 in the martial arts test, they were awarded the third-class light car captain, and several of the children of the family were very satisfied. After all, this third-class light car lieutenant is also a six-rank idle title, with no real power, so he is fooling around in the patrol battalion, which is nominally better. As for the other people with ranks, they were made captains and assigned to the major battalions.

At the same time, Yun Tianfeng promoted Jing Sa's official position from the original third-class cavalry captain to the fourth-rank light cavalry captain, becoming the first female captain of the fourth rank in this dynasty, and still guarding the western border. With a series of decrees issued, news secretly came from the palace, saying that Yun Tianfeng also gave the eldest princess Ronghui to the twenty-one-year-old Jing Zhu, the second son of Duke Anguo, and ordered the marriage to be completed on an auspicious day next year. The decree of marriage and promotion have been sent together to the West.

"Mo'er, you seem worried." Yun Tianhong looked at Nanling Mo, who came to change his medicine at night, and his eyebrows were slightly worried, so he asked, "What's wrong, did something happen?" He has been at home for a whole month, but there is nothing wrong with the news that should be followed.

"I've been checking this Zhou Tao before, and I always feel that he is not simple, and the wisdom he shows is not just like what we see. Although it was the first time he came to Beijing last year to prepare for the exam, I always felt that he seemed to be familiar with the situation in the capital, not like a simple student. Nan Lingmo said as she concocted ointment for Yun Tianhong.

"That's natural, because he's the prime minister's person." Yun Tianhong said softly, "Xie Tian came from a slight background, although he is quite talented, and he has achieved the position of Zuo Cheng in 20 years as an official, but he still can't get rid of his humble background, even if he has a foundation of more than 20 years, he is shallow in the capital. He naturally wanted to recruit some of his own people, and when he was released to Ganzhou as a governor, he was attacked by bandits, and when he was thrown halfway up the mountain, he was rescued by a peasant woman. In the months when he was recuperating, he had a child with the peasant woman, and that child was Zhou Tao. After the woman's husband died, in order to hide people's eyes, he never took the mother and son back to the capital, but secretly sent someone to take care of them secretly until he went to Beijing to take the exam this year. ”

"What ?!!!" Nan Lingmo was shocked when she heard the news, and even the movements in her hands stopped. "That's how it is! This Zhou Tao turned out to be Xie Tian's illegitimate son. This, this, this is incredible! ”

Dayan is open to the people, and women can be separated, remarried, and remarried; Men can also take concubines and remarry, but a man's private possession of an outer room is despised by the family, and if he has a child with someone else, it is even lower than the status of a child born in the outer room.

"Does Zhou Tao know about this?"

He didn't know that the person who helped him on the surface was not Xie Tian, but the mayor of the town. But the mayor of the town was directly assigned by the county magistrate to take care of him. The current Zhizhou of this magistrate was the magistrate at that time, and it was Xie Tian's person. ”

"Zhou Tao was able to raise people from the Lushan Academy examination, and he has always relied on Xie Tian's help?"

Yun Tianhong nodded and said: "Xie Tian is still very dedicated to his upbringing, except for a slightly poor life, but Xie Tian was admitted to the middle school at the age of eight, and at the age of ten, he was recommended by the magistrate to go to Lushan Academy, and he has always received a good education." ”

Nanling Mo sneered after hearing this: "Xie Tian is really an old fox, such a crooked, who would have thought that Zhou Tao was his illegitimate son, even Zhou Tao himself didn't know." Presumably, before Zhou Tao went to Beijing, the magistrate should have told him who the person who had been funding him behind him, otherwise how could he be so familiar with some of the situations in Beijing. After wanting to come to Beijing, Xie Tian secretly sent someone to contact him. ”

"This is natural, there is no sister-in-law in the left phase long room, and the sister-in-law in the second room is a master of eating, drinking and having fun, and it is not a weapon. The third room is a concubine who only does some small business in the local area, and has never even entered the capital. Yun Tianhong said with a sneer, "Zuo Xiang's is really a good calculation!" ”

"Alright, today is the last medicine. Do you feel it in your legs? Nan Lingmo asked worriedly. She didn't know how Yun Tianhong was recovering, so she asked cautiously.

"Yesterday I was able to move around slightly." Yun Tianhong replied with a smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry, isn't it going to be a few days, you have a leg injury, you can't be careful." Nanling Mo frowned and reproached. Yun Tianhong heard the anger in her tone, and his mood suddenly improved somehow, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Nanling Mo was slightly stunned, and said in her heart, "What's the matter with this person, I just blamed him, and he was in such a good mood." Then he looked up and saw him looking at him fixedly, and his face turned red. She hurriedly changed the topic and said: "In a few days, it will be autumn, your legs, I am worried that Your Majesty still doesn't believe it." ”

"Although he recruited the emperor to say that he was looking for the young valley master of the Medicine King Valley to treat me, it has been almost a month, and I haven't seen him really make any moves. It's just that he doesn't believe in the imperial doctor in the palace, and he is suspicious of you, even if he finds the young valley master of the Medicine King Valley to heal me, it won't be sincere. ”

Nanling Mo sighed slightly, thought for a while and said: "Actually, Ren Gongzi is now in Zhennan Wangfu, and when you treated your leg that day, he became my little doctor in Ji'an Hall to follow up." Nanling Mo was slightly stunned when she saw Yun Tianhong, and continued with a little shame, "He and my brother are good friends, and he came to help me because of my brother's face." Although I can rely on surgery to heal your leg, the opening of the hidden acupoint to restore the consciousness of your leg is still because of Ren Gongzi's help. It's better to wait for the day of Qiu Qiu to check the pulse in front of the emperor, maybe there will be fewer of these idlers. Nanling Mo said meaningfully.

Yun Tianhong didn't care if his legs really needed to be kept hidden according to Nanling Mo's intentions, but his little girl thought so, so let's do what she said. Sometimes it is better to maintain the status quo than to create a new one. What he thought in his heart was that since Ren Gongzi was in the capital, then his little girl's illness might be cured.

"When the time comes, I will secretly give you another pill, you eat it to ensure that your legs will be unconscious within three days, and after three days, I will ask Mu Yi to send you something for the medicinal bath, and your legs will return to normal after soaking." Nanling Mo babbled a lot of things that were inappropriate for this and that, and Yun Tianhong listened to her chatter patiently with a smile in the corners of her eyes, until she realized that something was wrong. For some reason, she felt that she looked like her father was injured, and her mother was treating him while chattering, which was exactly the same.

"I'm leaving." Nan Lingmo suddenly stopped, and soon disappeared into Yun Tianhong's room. Yun Tianhong looked at her red ears as she was gone, and laughed softly.

September 20 is a good time for autumn. This time, I did not go to the royal enclosure fifty miles away from the capital, but a small enclosure near the southern outskirts of the capital, which was used for horseback hunting in the royal family's daily life.

This time, in addition to the families of the three or more officials in the capital, there are also the champions of civil and military affairs this time. Due to the participation of many female dependents, the paddock was cleared in advance, and some dangerous animals such as tigers and wolves were swept over, and some rabbits, pheasants and other small animals were specially put in.

Everyone stood on their horses in riding clothes, and the ladies also stood in the open space not far away, dressed neatly and neatly. Then a dense drum beat sounded, which made people's blood boil when they listened to it.

"Autumn has always been a major ceremony in our country, the first two years have not been held well due to special reasons such as filial piety, today let everyone have a fun autumn festival!" After Yun Tianfeng finished speaking, he shot the arrow in his hand into the air, signaling the official start of the Autumn Festival. "Oh, oh, oh," the men cheered in unison, and dispersed into the mountains after Yun Tianfeng.

When the ladies saw that the men had left behind, they played polo and hammer pills in the open area on the west side of the paddock. For so long, Nanlingmo's polo has been playing average, but her equestrian and archery skills are quite good. She and Nanling Xiao and Nanling Xiang ran around the small open space in the paddock, and Lin Chaoying and Princess Rong Zhen couldn't stay idle, and played polo with the ladies of the family.

"Big brother, has Ren Gongzi set off?"

"I've already gone to this neighborhood to collect medicine two days ago, and when the time is ripe, I can naturally meet it."

Nan Lingmo suddenly laughed after hearing this, and shouted happily with her legs between the horse's belly: "Big brother, let's come to horse racing!! Drive!!! The words fluttered away with her like a butterfly. Nanling Xiao also suddenly laughed, and chased after him with a clip of the horse's belly.
