Fortunate Young Gentleman

The Wanyan tribe's public execution of the enemy general of the Chen State was widely reported at the beginning, but it ended abruptly in the end.

For unknown reasons, the fourth princess robbed the man and went directly back to her tribe. The eldest prince took this opportunity to unite many tribal leaders and made suggestions to the Khan, demanding severe punishment for the fourth princess.

The actions of the fourth princess Wanyan Yan were really incomprehensible, and no reasonable explanation was given afterwards. In order to punish the fourth princess, Wanyan Khan assigned her four tribes to the eldest prince, and the matter was settled.

In this way, the eldest prince had more than 20 tribes under him, and his power steadily exceeded that of the third prince and the fourth princess, becoming the first Khan under the Khan.

In a tent, the eldest prince took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to capture an enemy general and get an unexpected gain. I exchanged that person for four tribes. It's worth it..."

A figure stood beside him and said: "I don't know what the relationship between the fourth princess and the enemy general is. She would rather lose four tribes to protect him..."

"That makes sense." The eldest prince thought about it and nodded: "Let someone investigate. Maybe we can get four more tribes. If she is colluding with the enemy, it would be the best. Then all the tribes in her hands will belong to me..."

In another tent, the third prince's face was a little gloomy.

He paced in the tent and said in a deep voice: "I thought that the two of them would fight and both would suffer, but who knew that she would do nothing and let Wanyan Chu take advantage of her..."

A middle-aged man behind him said: "The eldest prince already has 20 tribes under his command, and the third prince must do something as soon as possible, so as not to be left too far behind..."

"You are right, I must do something as soon as possible, and I can't just sit there and watch." The third prince thought for a while and whispered: "Wanyan Chu can capture the generals of the State of Chen, so why can't I, Wanyan Hong, capture the generals of the State of Chu?"

He looked at the middle-aged man and asked: "Where are the people of the State of Chu?"

The middle-aged man said: "Although the State of Chu also has troops and horses entering the grassland , but those people are not easy to deal with. The reason why the eldest prince targeted the one from Chen State is because he suffered at the hands of the Chu people..."

"How can I show that I am better than that loser if I don't do this?" The third prince showed a trace of sarcasm on his face and said, "This is the grassland, it is our territory. If one times the number of troops is not enough, we can double or triple them. Are we afraid of a few Chu people?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Those people from Chu State have been active in the Kerulen River area recently..."

Xiao Jue held a leg of lamb in one hand and mare's milk in the other hand, lying on a soft couch covered with sheepskin, burped, and said, "I'm sorry, because of me, you lost four tribes... …”

“It doesn’t matter.” Wanyan Yan waved her hand and said, “It doesn’t matter if there are more or less tribes. Tell me more about him…”

Xiao Jue said, “What’s there to say about him…”

Wanyan Yan said, “Then do you want me to practice with you?”

“Speaking of Tang Ning, there is a lot to say. He was the first in every imperial examination. Do you know what a three-yuan champion is? For example, our three-yuan champion is like the most powerful warrior of your Sushen people in decades…”

Xiao Jue said, “His wives are all as beautiful as flowers, especially his fourth wife, who is the most beautiful woman in our Chen State…”

Wanyan Yan smiled mouth, and said: "The first beauty, is it as beautiful as me?"

"You?" Xiao Jue looked at her carefully and said: "You look like this, you are just a maid in his family, no, his maids are prettier than you..."

Wan Yanyan snatched the lamb leg from his hand and said: "Don't eat it, come out and practice whip skills with me..."

Xiao Jue immediately said: "No, no, I will tell you about his rebellion in Jiangnan, by the way..."

An hour later, Xiao Jue was dry-mouthed and drank tea. Wan Yanyan walked out of the big tent and handed a letter to the woman with a bow on her back, saying: "Send someone to deliver this letter to the capital and hand it to Tang Ning, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel..."

...

Capital.

Tang Ning sat alone under the peach tree in the yard, staring blankly ahead.

Today is the third day of March, the eleventh day since Su Mei left, and I miss her.

The capital has not been peaceful these days. It is the imperial examination season again. After the women's martial arts examination is over, the civil and military examinations are about to begin. Students from the capital have gathered. The inns and even houses in the streets are full, and the streets are suddenly crowded with people.

This unrest is just that the capital has become lively. Nothing major has happened in the court. Tang Ning himself has something wrong, but it is just an ordinary transfer.

Emperor Chen said before that after he has completed the six ministries, he will be transferred to the Shangshu Province. A few days ago, he officially issued a transfer order.

So far, in addition to the Minister of Personnel and the General of the Left Guard, he has also been assigned the job of Shangshu Zuocheng.

The original Shangshu Zuocheng position is also retained, but the left-winger has applied for a family visit leave and wants to go back to his hometown to serve his elderly mother. He will not be able to come back for at least half a year.

Filial piety comes first, and Emperor Chen is a famous filial son. Of course, he will not refuse a filial son's request. He approved his leave, so Tang Ning became the only left-winger in the Shangshu Province.

There was another incident that made him quite depressed.

On the second day after Emperor Chen transferred him to the Shangshu Province, Right Prime Minister Zhou requested to resign and return home.

Mr. Zhou was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Because of his old age and old age, Emperor Chen transferred him to Shangshu Province and took over the position of Prime Minister Feng, in order to give him a perfect ending to his official career.

He does not need to go to the Yamen or deal with state affairs on weekdays. He only needs to work for two years to end his official career as the right minister.

Now that he has only been in office for half a year, he is in a hurry to retire. There are rumors outside that he is afraid that he will be killed if he goes to Shangshu Province. Like Feng Xiang, he has no guarantee before the end of his official career, so he simply retires early and leaves a clean reputation.

These rumors were like sharp swords. Tang Ning wanted to clarify, but she couldn't defend herself.

He thought about Su Mei for a while, and then it was time to go to Shangshu.

Walking on the street, many people passing by are dressed as officials. Starting from March every year in the capital, talented people from all over the country gather together, and many romantic affairs are inevitable.

A hawker seemed to see that he was young and looked like he was going to take the exam. He came up to him and said, "This young man has an inscription written by the exam master. It only costs one tael of silver. Do you want to buy one?"

Tangning asked in surprise: "What kind of inscriptions are there for the God Test?"

"You don't even know this?" The man looked at him, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said, "This is the three-yuan champion Tang Ning, personally inscribed by Mr. Tang. If you buy a copy and offer it back, Mr. Tang can bless you in high school. A Jinshi can be promoted to the third level in one year, and to the tenth level in three years..."

Tang Ning glanced at the paper in his hand. It was an ordinary piece of white paper with the words "Must pass every exam" written on it. Looking at the handwriting - it looked a bit like his handwriting.

Tangning looked at him and asked, "Does anyone buy this?"

The vendor chuckled and said, "To be honest, I have sold more than a hundred copies today..."

A piece of paper costs one tael, and a hundred pieces of paper equals a hundred taels. This fake inscription is faster than robbing money. If Tangning hadn't been short of money, she would have monopolized this industry and eliminated all the dens that manufacture fakes. Lose.

Now, he naturally has no such interest, and he is too lazy to pursue the matter of them selling fake inscriptions and labeling himself a god test. He waved his hand and said: "Not interested."

When the hawker saw him leaving, he thought he thought the price was too expensive, so he immediately followed him and said, "The god test is too expensive, but the saint test is cheap. Mr. Xiao is usually uneducated and has no skills. Last time he was able to get the first grade in high school." , it depends on your luck in becoming a saint. His inscriptions are only sold for 500 Wen. Buy two and get one free. It is a very cost-effective gift to relatives and friends. It will definitely help you get into high school in one fell swoop..."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "He can't lift it himself, so how can he bless others..."
