"'Martial arts are used to secure the country, and culture is used to govern the country'. It is a cliché, but 'the text is not light, let alone the military, and the martial arts are not the same, and the literature is not the same' adds a bit of novelty. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes swept over the faces of Jia Yi, the left prime minister, and Ning Zezhong, the right prime minister, and continued:

"The civil and military complement each other, then it will be Wenchang and Wuxing, which is the luck of the country and the happiness of the people in the world. ”

This time, the emperor's eyes fell on the face of Wu Zheng, who was standing down, and praised loudly:

"Well said. ”

Then he glanced at Jia Yi, the left prime minister, and Ning Zezhong, the right prime minister, again, and said with emotion:

"Civil and military, my right-hand man, not only cannot complement each other, but often hinder each other. What is this so? The misfortune of the country, the misfortune of the people in the world? Jia Aiqing, Ning Aiqing?"

"The minister is here. ”

"The old minister is here. ”

Both of them got up from their seats at the same time, bowed their waists, and then kept silent.

However, Taishi Liu Shiqing also stood up and said:

"Long live, although the prime ministers occasionally argue a few words due to political disagreement, the old minister can guarantee that the loyalty of the two prime ministers can be demonstrated. ”

The emperor didn't answer Liu Shiqing's words, looked at the left and right prime ministers who were standing in front of the jade pier, and waved his hand:

"Well, sit down. ”

"Long live thanks. ”

"Jia Yi, tell me, what is the official position of Wu Zheng?"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Jia Yi stood up again, bowed down and replied:

"Hooray, as is customary....... ”

"As is customary, do I still need to ask you?"

"Yes. Nowadays, there are still vacancies in the imperial history of the imperial history and the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, and the rest are vacancies for the adjutant officials of the local government and county. ”

Obviously, the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with what Prime Minister Jia Yi reported, but he only looked at Jia Yi, who bowed his head and was silent for a while, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask:

"Where are they and what are the vacancies?"

"Ju County, Linyu Prefecture lacks one county lieutenant and one county cheng; Cangshan Prefecture Zhaozhi County lacks a county lieutenant; Linshan Prefecture lacks one member of the Liupin School Administration; Linshan Prefecture Tongluo County lacks one county lieutenant and one county magistrate; and Jiangzhou Prefecture ....... ”

"Wait, Linshan Mansion...... , Wu Zheng. ”

"Hooray. ”

"It is said that wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, such as walking at night, I have fulfilled you today. ”

Wu Zheng really has nothing, it is not his hometown, but it is not far from Wujiabao and not far from Jiangning Mansion, which is convenient for him to trace the cause of his father's death, as well as the origin of Lingxiao Nine Style and Lingyun Footwork.

"Long live the grace. ”

"Well, let's go back and get ready for the order. ”

Wu Zheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed and thanked him, then withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace, and after being sent out of the inner courtyard of the palace by the deacon and eunuch, he walked quickly to the Fulinmen Inn in the west of the city.

"Miss, are you really not waiting for the young master to come back?"

The inn had already packed his luggage, but he hesitated, reluctant to give up Tie Ning, and looked up at the sun in the sky from time to time.

Why didn't she want to say goodbye to Wu Zheng?

However, how to explain it to Wu Zheng? If it could be explained, Tie Ning would not have hesitated until now.

Not only could she not explain it, Tie Ning didn't even dare to let her family send her to pick her up, and when she happened to beat away Chang Qingjian, who had kidnapped their master and servant Wu Gan, to see Wu Zheng.

If it were a different person, instead of Chang Qingjian, who had always been more than majestic and inflexible, Tie Ning would not be so embarrassed, but the person sent by his father this time was headed by Uncle Chang.

"Alas, brother, my sister can only say goodbye for the time being, I hope my brother will not miss the date after seeing my sister's message. ”

Seeing that the hour had come to an end, and it was about to be the beginning of Shen Shichu, who had made an appointment with Chang Qingjian, Tie Ning had to be ruthless, took Xiaomei and Xiaolan, and reluctantly left the Fulinmen Inn step by step, and gradually disappeared into the crowd of people who came and went from south to north on the street.

Half an hour after Tie Ning took Xiaomei Xiaolan and left the Fulinmen Inn, Wu Zheng also returned.

"Sister?"

"Xiaomei, Xiaolan?"

When the doors of the two rooms were opened, there was no sign of the three of them.

In a panic, he found that the room of the three of Tie Ning's master and servant was empty, and the luggage and clothes were gone. However, the luggage in his room was neatly organized, and the change of clothes was cleaned and stacked at the head of the bed.

Suddenly seeing a corner of paper that seemed to be exposed in his clothes, Wu Zheng hurriedly reached out and took it out.

"Brother, please forgive my sister for saying goodbye.

Thinking of the rescue and care she has received from her younger brother in the past five years, my sister is deeply moved. How can the family have family rules, and my sister really has something unspeakable, so I ask my brother for forgiveness again.

If the younger brother has an older sister in his heart, he will rush to Naolong Street in Jiangning Mansion on time before the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the time comes, everything will fall into place, so remember.

Sister Tie Ning Wanfu. ”

After reading Tie Ning's message several times, Wu Zheng knew that the three of Tie Ning's master and servant were not in danger, so he was relieved.

At the same time, judging from Tie Ning's ambiguous words, and Tie Ning's behavior of always deliberately avoiding talking about his life experience, Wu Zheng is basically certain: First of all, Tie Ning must have been born in the Tie family, the head of the four major families of martial arts. Otherwise, he would not be secretive about his life experience, nor would he be able to say such things as "the family has family rules". Ordinary people, even if they have family rules, will not be strict enough to not disclose their identities to the outside world.

Therefore, Wu Zheng also understood why Master Xingyun said that it was very rare for people in the rivers and lakes to see the disciples of the Tie family walking in the rivers and lakes, it should be because the Tie family had strict family rules and did not allow the disciples in the sect to reveal their true identities outside.

Secondly, Wu Zheng, who calmed down, quickly thought of the anomalies that he had neglected in the recent past, which came from Tie Ning. For example, the meeting outside Woyun Temple that morning, if Tie Ning didn't know the road in advance, or someone guided him, how could he have rushed overnight?

After coming to the capital, he showed his attachment and tenderness to himself all the time, obviously Tie Ning had planned it a long time ago, or knew that he would leave him after the palace examination.

Therefore, Wu Zheng thought that the departure of the master and servant should be neither temporary nor willing, and the Tie family must have come to greet them. That can also explain why Wu Gan suddenly gave up holding Tie Ning hostage. It must be that someone from the Tie family happened to meet Tie Ning who was kidnapped by Wu Gan, or that when he was in danger, Tie Ning may have used a secret method to secretly contact the family. It is impossible for a family like the Tie family not to have a contact point in the capital.

As for why he didn't contact his family in Suncheon City, it is very likely that Liu Shiqing himself knew Tie Ning's origin, so he secretly made enough preparations and didn't leave any chance for Tie Ning at all.

But how to explain the relationship between Tie Ning and Tie Lianniang?

Wu Zheng didn't believe that Tie Lianniang was also from the Tie family. Because, if Tie Xian Niang is really a child of the Tie family, it is impossible to worship the Iron Sword Gate.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, Wu Zheng simply didn't want to think about it, anyway, Tie Ning had already said in the message that he would rush to Naolong Street in Jiangning Mansion before the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and naturally everything would fall into place. That's just over five months, which isn't a long time.

What's more, he is about to go to Causeway City to be a county lieutenant, and it is convenient to go to Jiangning Mansion from there.
