This is the first time Tang Ning has heard news about Little Manniu since she returned to Chen Kingdom.

What happened in Chu State had a big impact on her. Tangning was worried that she would be devastated by it. But now it seemed that she was much stronger than he thought.

"Lord Tang, you don't know. The situation on this grassland is different from ours. Although most tribal leaders are men, there are also women who become tribal leaders. However, Wanyan tribe is the majority. After this generation of khans die of old age, , it should still be passed on to the two princes..." Zhou Shilang continued to speak, but at a certain moment he suddenly stopped and stood aside respectfully.

A eunuch walked in and said in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

"See Your Majesty..."

After everyone saw the ceremony, Emperor Chen went to the top position and sat down, stretched out his hand and said: "Young ladies are excused from the ceremony."

Emperor Chen summoned ministers from various ministries and government officials to come over today, mainly to report on their work at the end of the year, which was probably to make a concluding speech.

The first person to step forward was Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of War. He walked into the palace, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to supervise the grassland situation. In the past year, the Jiagu and Shuhu tribes have contained the Wanyan tribe. expansion, but the Wanyan tribe is as fierce as a tiger. Even if it is temporarily trapped, it will always come down one day. I suggest that the court unite with the Chu State and the coalition forces to go deep into the grassland to completely eliminate the threat of the Wanyan tribe..."

"I understand." Emperor Chen nodded and said, "For this matter, the Ministry of War will first come up with a charter, and I will also notify the Chu State envoys and let them go back to discuss it."

Today's small meeting was not a court meeting. The officials from various ministries were concise and to the point. It was almost just a formality. Tangning was a little surprised. This kind of occasion obviously had nothing to do with him. He didn't know why Chen Huang asked him to come.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen Huang looked at him and said, "Tang Ning."

Tangning cupped her hands and said, "I'm here."

Emperor Chen said slowly: "I appoint you as the General of Zuo Xiaowei because I hope you can let me see a different Zuo Xiaowei. After the New Year, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the Ministry of War for the time being. I will leave Zuo Xiaowei to you and give you one year to train Zuo Xiaowei well. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Tang Ning bowed and said, "I obey your order."

Others' promotions and transfers were all based on rules, but his was just like Wan. He hadn't stayed in the Hanlin Academy for many days before he started a tour of the six departments. In the meantime, he went on a mission to Chu State and organized There was a big competition, but the six troops were not finished and were assigned to the army again.

He felt that he was just a brick in the eyes of Chen Huang, who could be moved wherever he needed to go. The only advantage was that life was always full of surprises. After a few months in the household department, he changed to the punishment department. When he got tired of the punishment department, he changed to the rites department. After a long time, he worked as a civil servant. Being a military commander... won't seem so boring.

Chen Huang looked at him and continued: "Also, Tang Renzhai's newspaper must continue to be run, but when it comes to court affairs and officials in the court, you must pay attention to the scale and not go too far. You can control the boundaries yourself... "

Everything needs to be done in moderation. Tang Ning still had this in mind. She nodded and said, "I will keep this in mind."

Emperor Chen mainly told him these two things, and then the person who came out to report on his duties was Fang Hong, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Fang Hong stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has completed all assessments of officials this year. In addition, due to the transfer of Mr. Sun from Jing Zhao Yin to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the position of Jing Zhao Yin is vacant. Regarding the position of Jing Zhao Yin, The Ministry of Officials has selected a list of ten people, and His Majesty will make the final decision."

A eunuch handed him a piece of paper. Emperor Chen looked at it, put it down, and said, "The position of Jing Zhaoyin is very important. The officials should consider it again and again before submitting it to me."

Fang Hong's expression changed. His Majesty's words meant that he was not satisfied with these ten people. When the officials made another plan, they would eliminate all ten of them. He looked up, cupped his hands and said: I obey the order. "

After the Ministry of Personnel came the Ministry of Rites. Liu Feng came out and stood in the hall. He bowed first and then said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites' assessment of the education of states and counties in Gyeonggi Province has also ended. Among the thirty-six counties in Gyeonggi Province, those who are taking the exam this year The number of scholars in the county is stable compared with previous years, and the number in Chang'an Wannian and other counties has increased slightly, which is attributed to education. The number of scholars taking the examination in Ping'an County has dropped significantly compared with previous years. I believe that this is the dereliction of duty in education by the county magistrate of Ping'an... …”

"Ping'an County Magistrate?" Something came to mind in Chen Huang's mind. He suddenly looked at Tang Ning and asked, "If I remember correctly, Ping'an County Magistrate seems to be your father-in-law, right?"

After Emperor Chen finished asking, the palace fell into silence, and his words did not receive a response.

The Minister of War, Zhou Shilang, looked at Tang Ning beside him, who seemed to be distracted. He hurriedly tugged on his sleeve and said, "Master Tang, Your Majesty is asking you a question!"

"Ah?" Tangning came back to her senses and whispered, "What are you asking me for?"

Zhou Shilang reminded: "Ping'an County Magistrate..."

Tang Ning immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although the Magistrate of Ping'an County is my father-in-law, I feel that my father-in-law has not been a Beijing official for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not be qualified for the important task of Jing Zhaoyin..."

"What are you talking about?" Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Have I ever said to let him serve as Jing Zhaoyin?"

"No?" Tangning looked confused. After she came to her senses, she immediately bowed and said, "I was thinking about what Minister Fang said just now, and I was trance-like for a moment. Please forgive me..."

Everyone in the hall looked at him, and they didn't know what words to describe their mood. His Majesty asked if the Magistrate of Ping'an County was his father-in-law. He answered that the position of Jing Zhaoyin was vacant as Shilang Fang just said. The Magistrate of Ping'an County is his father-in-law. Fifth rank, Jing Zhaoyin is already a fourth rank official. He was promoted from fifth rank to fourth rank at once. Did he think that the magistrate of Ping'an County was himself?

Of these two No. 1 Scholars, one fell asleep during the court meeting, and the other was distracted during the discussion in the main hall, and gave incorrect answers to His Majesty's questions. Is this lack of seriousness a common trait among smart people?

Emperor Chen glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, be more serious when you are in the palace from now on."

Although Jing Zhaoyin's position is awkward and often makes people look strange inside and outside, it is very important to the court. Whether he is controlled by King Kang or King Duan, it will become a weapon for them to suppress the other party and even affect the court situation. Not what he wanted to see.

Therefore, whether it was the minister of the Ministry of Hubu or the Ministry of Personnel, or Jing Zhaoyin, Emperor Chen did not want people from King Kang and King Duan to get involved, so he vetoed the nomination of the Ministry of Personnel. He needed to find someone who was not involved in party disputes and was capable. Come and serve...

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly froze. He looked at Tangning and asked, "What did you just say?"

Tang Ning bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I was distracted during the discussion. I am guilty. Please punish me..."

Emperor Chen looked at him with a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment, he slowly said: "The number of talented people taking exams in the imperial court fluctuates every year. Based on this alone, we cannot conclude that the Ping An County Magistrate is neglectful of education. Besides, he He has been serving as the county magistrate of Ping'an for only two years, so the education issue cannot be blamed on him. I have heard that he has made outstanding political achievements during his two years in office and has a good reputation among the people. He is also a rare talent... "

He looked at Tang Ning and asked, "I remember that the Magistrate of Ping'an County was named Zhong Mingli, right?"

Tangning looked up in surprise. When she saw the inexplicable smile on Chen Huang's face, she couldn't help but froze, nodded and said, "Yes..."
