Chapter 464: Promotion (three shifts)

Chapter 464 Promotion (three shifts)

Xiao Heng went to the Hanlin Academy, Ning Zhiyuan had already waited for him in his office duty room.

Seeing him coming, he stood up, hurriedly walked towards him, grabbed his arms, and looked up and down: "Are you okay? I heard that you were taken away by an assassin! Who is so hateful?!"

King Ning’s charge for arresting Xiao Liulang was originally intended to be announced by the emperor, but was stopped by Queen Xiao and Princess Xinyang.

Although Princess Xinyang did not confess all the truth about Xiao Heng to Empress Xiao, Empress Xiao also understood that once the story of King Ning's assassination of Xiao Liulang leaks, Xiao Heng's identity will no longer be hidden.

After all, no matter how you look at it, King Ning really has no reason to kill Xiao Liulang, unless there is something else about Xiao Liulang’s identity.

Xiao Heng said: "I'm fine, a sect in the rivers and lakes did it. I wanted to squander some money after they caught me, and it has been dealt with."

The Double Knife Gate is not innocent, and it has long been served by the Imperial Guard.

"Are you really okay?" Ning Zhiyuan looked at him suspiciously, "I heard that your hand was also injured. Show me."

The two elders look at this and tell the truth a bit...

Ning Zhiyuan insisted, Xiao Heng stretched out his hand helplessly.

His injuries are mainly on the back of his hand and wrist. The palm of his hand has healed and no traces can be seen. Ning Zhiyuan looked at his white hand with a few hideous scars intertwined, and couldn't help but shook his head: "It's a pity that this hand. Can you still write?"

"It can," Xiao Heng said.

Ning Zhiyuan finally felt relieved when he heard this: "Oh, the innocence of your being arrested really scared me to death. I was thinking at the time, did your kid get promoted so quickly that it hindered some people's eyes? I even I also doubted Zhuang Yuheng! However, after I met him several times, he didn't look like a guilty conscience, so I dispelled his suspicion. So what kind of sect leader does not have a brain? Can you a poor boy from the country? What kind of money? Ah! Is her younger brother and sister getting rich? I heard that Miao Shou Tang’s business is not good recently. You have to pay attention to it. If you have more money, it will inevitably attract people's attention. It is best to hire a few men who know martial arts. ."

"Yeah." Xiao Heng's mouth was up and down.

The two sat down on both sides of the desk.

Ning Zhiyuan thought of something, and suddenly smiled and said, "But, your kid is a blessing in disguise this time. You don't need to participate in the assessment at the end of the month. Wang Xiuzhuan failed this exam and was severely reprimanded by Master Han. It will be demoted and edited."

"How about you?" Xiao Heng asked.

Ning Zhiyuan was quite proud and said: "Well, me, ordinary, but the third one, the first is Zhuang Yuheng."

Not only the newly recruited Hanlin officials, but also the old Hanlin officials participated in the assessment together. Except for Han and Shixiang, they were both the tester and the marking officer.

It is not surprising that Ning Zhiyuan and Zhuang Yuheng are among the top. They are imperial examination candidates who have just experienced Qiuwei and Chunwei, and their examination skills are still at their peak.

The Hanlin official ranked behind them is not necessarily the one who has the true talents and learning ability without them, but is not as good at exams as the two of them.

"But it's a pity." Ning Zhiyuan suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Heng asked.

Ning Zhiyuan said, "Didn't Yang Shidu leave? His official position has been vacated. It is said that he wants to promote a person. Now Zhuang Yuheng's voice is very loud."

Zhuang Yuheng is the grandson of Taifu Zhuang, the second place in this year's new discipline ranking, and he took the first place in the assessment. In addition to the lack of qualifications, which is his only shortcoming, he is almost impeccable.

He even took the place of the prince to go to the country of Chen as a hostage, and was a hero of the country of Zhao.

In the afternoon, the Hanlin Academy really announced the good news that someone had been promoted to attend school.

is not Zhuang Yuheng, but Xiao Liulang.

"You have you!" Ning Zhiyuan patted Xiao Heng's shoulder excitedly.

Xiao Heng didn’t understand how the official position of attending school had fallen to him, although he did intend to fight for it earlier, but after being injured, he pretended to disappear for half a month, then rested at home for ten days, and even missed an assessment.

At that time, he estimated that this time the position of attendance was not his turn.

"Liu Lang, congratulations!" Ning Zhiyuan said sincerely.

Xiao Heng said to him: "Congratulations too."

Ning Zhiyuan was also promoted, from the sixth-level editing to the sixth-level editing, and he happened to take the post of Xiao Liulang.

Ning Zhiyuan cleared his throat: "Ahem, I'm top of your official position, but you are on duty, I won't accept it."

It was so close to the latrine, and the hot weather killed him!

It would be better for him to stay in his room!

Xiao Heng moved to the attendant’s duty room. Attendant Yang had been here before, but he didn’t stay for long, and he was walking in a hurry, so everything that should be cleaned up was taken away.

is a clean and empty room.

After becoming a attendant, in addition to the changes in the duty room, the salary has also risen from January 5 taels to January 8 taels. This is a positive salary. In addition, there are 10 horses and 10 stones per year, and ice ice once a year in summer. Respect, a charcoal reverence in winter, you can ask for things, or you can convert them into money.

The Hanlin Academy is generally a Qingshui sect, and the oil and water are not as good as the six parts, but if you have a qualification in the Hanlin Academy, you will have a good look where you go.

The ministers of the cabinet were all born in Hanlin, and Yuan Shoufu, Taifu Zhuang and even Laojijiu, Zhuang Xianzhi, and Dean Li were all born.

Among them, Yuan Shoufu sat all the way from Xiuzhuan to the position of a fellow of the Fifth-Rank Imperial Academy. Later, he was implicated in the incident and was demoted to a land of poor mountains and rivers. After five years, he returned to Beijing and joined the cabinet as a scholar of the seventh grade. Then all the way to become the first auxiliary of Zhaoguo.

The others all chose other government offices after leaving the Hanlin Academy.

Ning Zhiyuan came to help him move things.

Outside the door, a few Hanlin officials passed by, and their conversation came in.

"Have you heard? King An will be transferred to the cabinet?"

"Who did you hear?"

"He heard Lord Han talking with King An."

"You still eavesdrop on the corner of Master Han!"

"No, I passed by! I heard it accidentally! Lord Han said, don't delay your study when you go to the cabinet. The fundamentals of governing the country are in these books."

The original words are definitely not the case, but when everyone sees him deliberately covering up, it is not easy to ask anything. After all, knowing too much about some things is not necessarily a good thing.

A few people quickly walked away, and the conversation gradually disappeared.

Ning Zhiyuan's face suddenly realized: "I said, why didn't he fight with you? Dare to find a better place."

What is their purpose in joining the cabinet? Isn’t it the hope that they can join the cabinet in the future and become assistant ministers? No matter how bad it is, going to Liubuyamen is also great.

People who really want to spend a lifetime in the Hanlin Academy are scared.

Xiao Heng did not speak.

This should be what Taifu Zhuang meant. It is a bit far-fetched to enter the cabinet with Zhuang Yuheng's qualifications. It is estimated that the attitude of Queen Mother Zhuang on King Ning made Taifu feel uneasy.

He no longer trusts the Queen Mother with all his heart, he wants to put more power in the hands of the Zhuang family.

Now in the cabinet, two second assistants are his people, and half of the six cabinet scholars are also his people. If an jun king is added, and Yuan Shoufu abdicates in the future, the cabinet will completely belong to the banker's world.

Ning Zhiyuan saw Xiao Liulang look thoughtful, thinking he was losing, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Liulang, don't be discouraged, you will be able to enter the cabinet one day!"

Xiao Heng was not thinking about entering the cabinet, he was wondering if the old man, Taifu Zhuang, went to poking his aunt's heart again.

The Royal Palace.

The emperor and the empress dowager Zhuang went down to the direction of Renshou Palace together.

The Queen Mother Zhuang sat on Fenghu, took a weird look at Emperor Hu on the side, and said in a puzzled way: "Your Huaqing Palace is over there."

The emperor said shamelessly: "I'm going to have a meal in the mother's harem."

Queen Mother Zhuang pondered for a moment, then gave a hmm.

Emperor: The mother did not refuse!

After dinner, Queen Mother Zhuang said to the emperor: "You come to the study."

"Mother's queen is looking for children's ministers?" After entering the study, the emperor asked.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said sternly: "The Ai family has considered it. The emperor has been in charge for many years. It is time for the Ai family to return the power of government to the emperor."

The queen was startled: "Why did the mother say this?"

Queen Mother Zhuang sighed: "From tomorrow, the Aijia will no longer listen to politics."

A word flashed in the emperor's mind – Is the fun of going up and down with the mother and the queen gone! ! !

"Queen!"

The Queen Mother faintly glanced at him: "Don’t you always hope that the Lai’s family will not go to the Jinluan Temple anymore? As you wished, why? Not happy yet?"

"That was before." The emperor muttered.

Since the truth about Concubine Jing became clear, he realized that he had misunderstood the queen over the years, and the queen had countless opportunities to kill him, but the queen had never done so.

Instead, it was him who framed her mother again and again, and let her suffer from leprosy. If it were not for the little genius doctor, he would live in remorse for the rest of his life.

Besides, leaving aside the emotional factors, the queen is indeed more courageous and smart than him.

Queen Mother Zhuang sighed faintly: "The Aijia is old, and it's time for a few days of leisure."

The emperor darkened his face: "Mother, you actually want to go to Bishui Hutong to play cards!"

Still the one without him!

Empress Dowager: "...cough, is it that obvious?"
