"Now that Dabi is over, set off and return to the palace. ”

"Let's go, go back to the palace!"

The emperor glanced at Yang Ning appreciatively, turned around and went to Jiaozi, when the emperor entered Jiaozi, the others carried Jiaozi and walked towards the imperial city.

"Yang Ning, congratulations, this big competition, presumably the first place, is yours. Yang Xingxiu came to Yang Ning and was happy for him.

Yang Ning glanced at him and said with a smile: "I injured your son, don't you blame me?"

"Mao Xue's skills are not as good as others, he knows your strength, and he is still against you, let him learn a lesson this time. ”

Yang Xingxiu shook his head and sighed.

For Yang Maoxue, he was disappointed.

Knowing that you can't do it, you can only say that there is something wrong with your brain.

"Yes. ”

Yang Ning chuckled lightly and didn't take his words to heart.

If he goes back this time, if he can kill Ye Qianping, he Yang Ning will inevitably have a feud with the Ye family and the Yang family.

After all, Ye Qianping is a member of the Ye family and Yang Xingxiu's wife.

He didn't believe that if he killed Yang Xingxiu's wife, Yang Xingxiu would still treat him like this.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally returned to the imperial city.

The emperor sent someone over to tell Yang Ning that tomorrow morning, he would talk about the big competition and the promotion.

The next morning, King Zhang Wu and King Zhong Wu did not bring their children to the palace.

In today's palace hall, in addition to the civil and military officials, the others are Tang He'an, Tang Jingxuan, Qin Hanlin, Qin Ziling, and Yang Ning.

The emperor looked at the civil and military officials, Yang Ning and the others present, and said with great joy: "This big competition has finally come to an end. ”

fifth place, Tang Jingxuan

fourth place, Qin Ziling

third place, Qin Hanlin

Second place, Tang and Ann

First place, Yang Ning

"In this big competition, Yang Ning won the first place, and I will naturally reward him. ”

"Ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and three horses of silk. ”

Feng Yang Ning is a viscount and owns a mansion, and he can choose one as his mansion at will. ”

"Viscount, in the Qin State, is a fourth-class title"

In fact, the emperor originally planned to make Yang Ning an earl, but he thought that it would cause dissatisfaction among other officials, so he just made Yang Ning a viscount first.

If he can become the first place in this big competition, he will naturally knight Yang Ning.

At that time, it should be the Marquis.

"The Marquis, who is of the second rank, is only awarded to the emperor's relatives, or a very small number of meritorious heroes. ”

If Yang Ning had won the first place in the ten-year competition, and at that time, Yang Ning would have been named a marquis, and these officials would no longer have any opinions.

After all, he can't be exposed, Yang Ning is now the strength of the Martial King realm.

Although it is now in the Qiankun Palace, it is indispensable to defend against people.

"Minister, Yang Ning, thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Yang Ning naturally doesn't attach much importance to the title, but the fact that the emperor can give him a knighthood also shows that he now has an identity, no longer the concubine who was expelled from the Wuwang Mansion, and also owns a mansion.

In this way, he can choose a place to be his own home, and take his mother over without having to take it with him in that dilapidated home.

Although this title is very low, it is better to have an identity than nothing.

"Twelve days later, the five of you will follow me to participate in the once-in-a-decade competition, and I hope you can perform well and win the first place in this competition. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Tang He'an and others were also rewarded, and Tang He'an was made a baron.

As for the others, they get a thousand taels of gold, and so on.

"Retreat from the dynasty, Yang Ning stays. ”

"Retreat!"

When all the officials in the court left, only Yang Ning, the emperor and the guards were left in the main hall.

The Emperor glanced at the guards, who nodded and took all the others out.

When they left, Qin Feng also appeared.

"Master. ”

Seeing Qin Feng appear, Yang Ning bowed and saluted.

"Haha, apprentice, this performance is good, I hope to continue to maintain it when the competition is held once in ten years. ”

"Master, the apprentice understands. ”

"Yang Ning, originally I planned to make you an earl, but I was worried about causing dissatisfaction with other Aiqing, so I named you a viscount first, and after the end of the ten-year competition, no matter how many you get, I will still make you an earl. The emperor looked at Yang Ning and said kindly.

"The minister is here, thank you Your Majesty in advance. ”

"With your current strength, presumably your master has also told you to pay attention. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the master has already told the ministers. ”

"There are still twelve days, that is, the ten-year big competition, during this time, you will stay in the palace and let your master guide you. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister plans to go home. ”

"Home?"

"Your Majesty, you also know that the minister was originally the concubine who was expelled from the Wuwang Mansion, and this time he was too far away from home, and the minister was worried about what would happen to his mother, so he wanted to go home to see his mother. ”

"Since you don't worry about your mother, then after you go back this time, take your mother to the imperial city, and I will arrange someone to take care of your mother. ”

"In addition, you are now a viscount, and you should also have your own domestic servants, and I will let someone take you to choose some domestic servants, and the mansion will be selected on this side of the imperial city, what do you think?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Yang Ning lowered his head and frowned slightly.

He didn't understand whether the emperor was sincere when he said these words, or whether he wanted to use his mother to restrain him.

However, judging from the current situation, it is much better for my mother to come to the imperial city than to stay in the southwest.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister understands." ”

"Well, you guys go back. ”

"Minister Yang Ning, retire. ”

"Minister Qin Feng, retire. ”

It seems that he is still a little worried. ”

The emperor watched Yang Ning and the others leave, although Yang Ning lowered his head just now, he also noticed that Yang Ning was wary of him.

"I hope Qin Aiqing can talk to him well. ”

"Master, what did Your Majesty mean just now, does it have another meaning?"

Not long after leaving the Qiankun Palace, Yang Ning stopped and asked.

"Tu'er, are you worried that Your Majesty wants to use your mother to restrain you?"

"Master, the disciple does have this idea, the companion is like a tiger, my mother is the only one in the southwest who is the best relative to me, so naturally I don't want my mother to have an accident. ”

"You are a disciple of the teacher, you can rest assured, if one day, Your Majesty uses your mother's safety to restrain you, the teacher will naturally help you. Qin Feng assured.

"The disciple thanked the master. ”

Although Shizun said this, Yang Ning was still a little worried.

Now that he has offended the crown prince, the two princes and the three princes, if his mother comes to the imperial city, will it lead the prince and the three princes to make a move?

If that's the case, even if the mother comes to the capital, it won't be safe.

Although he is strong, as long as he leaves, then there will be no one to take care of his mother, and it seems that he still needs to train his subordinates to protect his mother.

"Apprentice, when do you plan to leave the capital and return to the southwest?"

"Master, the disciple plans to set off tomorrow and return to the southwest. ”
