"Leave?" Xiao Jue looked at him with his hands around and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Tang Ning sighed and said, "I don't think it should work." ”

The rules are set by people, and it's not that he can't ask for leave at the Qionglin banquet, but unfortunately he can't find a better reason, if it is he who breaks a few ribs, this leave is easy to ask.

Tang Ning looked down, and the little beggar lowered his head and leaned towards him.

He led her to the bedside and said, "I'll go out to do something, you eat something first, then get some sleep, and when you wake up, I'll be back." ”

Tang Ning let her lie on the bed, helped her cover the quilt, and used the method taught by Tang Fairy to point a certain acupoint on her shoulder, and it didn't take long for her eyes to slowly close, and there was an even breathing sound.

When she slept, she was the same as Su Mei, her eyes were half-open, her small fists were clenched tightly, and her body was curled up, as if she would wake up at any time.

It seems that it is not an overnight thing to eliminate her defense against outsiders and the external environment.

Tang Ning asked Qing'er to light a soothing incense beside the bed, and then motioned for Xiao Jue to walk out lightly.

"Who is she, your sister?" Xiao Jue walked out of the door, glanced back, and asked suspiciously.

Tang Ning gently closed the door and said, "Not before, but will be in the future." ”

"You can really do it, you can pick up a sister too." Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "Now you still have to think about it, you ran away just now, how to explain to Your Majesty later." ”

Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Didn't you run away too?" ”

Xiao Jue thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Are you also Your Majesty's brother-in-law?" ”

Tang Ning really didn't have a powerful background like Xiao Jue, and he was not the emperor's brother-in-law, so when he passed by the medical hall, he wrapped a white cloth around his hand by the way.

The procession of the jinshi had to go around the Beijing division for a full circle, and the people on both sides of the street were onlookers, and the speed of the march was very slow, and when Tang Ning and Xiao Jue caught up with the team, they had not yet entered the palace gate.

Seeing them coming, an official in the team ran forward and hurriedly said: "Oh, Zhuangyuanlang, little grandfather, you are back, hurry up and get on the horse!" ”

In previous years, when riding a horse to the streets, there has never been a situation where the champion ran away halfway and carried a person, both of whom were wearing crowns and wearing big red flowers on their chests......

After more than 200 jinshi went around Beijing, they entered the palace and were temporarily placed in a large hall.

After waiting for about an hour, His Majesty will confer officials on some of the Jinshi, and then it will be the long-awaited Qionglin Banquet.

Tang Ning and Xiao Jue waited in the hall for a while, and a eunuch walked in and said, "Champion Lang, little grandfather, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”

"I wonder how Your Majesty will punish them?"

"They don't want this kind of opportunity, I really don't know what they think!"

"However, one is the little grandfather and the other is the champion, Your Majesty should not be heavily punished......"

……

Many Jinshi in the hall saw that the two were summoned away, and many of them had a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

When they were parading through the streets just now, everyone saw the scene when the two of them jumped off their horses and ran, which was a big faux pas, and His Majesty summoned them over to ask for their guilt.

I don't know what kind of illness the two of them committed just now, riding horses in the streets in the presence of the people of the city, what a glory it is, actually gave up this opportunity to have a long face, you know, the first two horses, except for them, all the Jinshi want to get on it......

The place where Emperor Chen summoned them was in the imperial study, and when Tang Ning and Xiao Jue walked in, they saw several strange officials standing in the hall.

"Students, see Your Majesty."

"Xiao Jue, see Your Majesty."

Tang Ning and Xiao Jue bowed at the same time.

"No courtesy." Emperor Chen looked at the two of them and said straight to the point: "There is a royal history to participate in the two of you, when the royal horse is paraded in the street, abandon the horse and run away, it is a violation of etiquette, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Xiao Jue bowed and said, "However, we are in a hurry, and there is a reason why we do this." ”

Emperor Chen leaned back in his chair, glanced at them, and said, "Let's talk about it, what is the reason why you don't even care about the Imperial Horse Parade?" ”

Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning, Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the student's sister was taken captive a year ago and disappeared, this year, the student was worried about his relatives, sleepless nights, and never stopped searching, just now I heard the news of my sister, and knew that she was in danger, I was very anxious, so I was rude......"

Chen Huang looked at him and said in surprise: "You still have a sister?" ”

"That ......" Tang Ning's lips opened and said, "Godsister." ”

Emperor Chen looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "He is here to save his sister, what are you for?" ”

"I ......" Xiao Jue naturally wouldn't say that he was watching the excitement, and after being stunned, he changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, I and Zhuang Yuanlang found a gang of kidnappers of children everywhere in Jingshi, they kidnapped these children from all over the country to Jingshi, let them pretend to be beggars, take advantage of the sympathy of the people, and defraud money, it is really a great crime, please make a clear judgment!" ”

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "I have already asked Ling Yun to investigate this case. ”

After speaking, he looked at Tang Ning again, looked at his hand wrapped in white cloth, and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "The student was injured in the process of fighting with the villains just now......

"Wrestling?" Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "How did I hear that you kicked someone out of Zhang Xu Yuan, how could you hurt your hand?" ”

Tang Ning limped and took two steps and said, "The student's foot is actually injured as well. ”

An official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you are rude, you must not abolish the courtesy, even if you are the champion, you should also observe the courtesy!" ”

Another official chimed in: "Champion Lang deserves to be punished for flouting the law of etiquette!" ”

Emperor Chen looked at them and said, "Although Zhuang Yuanlang violated the courtesy, he was worried about his relatives, and it was understandable that he had cracked such a big case, and the merits and demerits were offset, so you don't need to say more." ”

The two imperial historians glanced at each other, and both lowered their heads and stopped talking.

This matter, whether it is big or small, whether it is a severe punishment or a light punishment, it is all in the mind of His Majesty, this champion has always been treated favorably by His Majesty, and he will not be severely punished for this matter, not to mention that it also involves the Xiao family, this matter is probably an understatement.

Emperor Chen looked at them and asked, "I heard that you met Tang Zhao of the Tang family there?" ”

Xiao Jue bowed down and said: "Your Majesty sees it, we suspect that Tang Er is stupid ......, and Tang Zhao, the second young man of the Tang family, has an inseparable relationship with this matter, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "I have already handed over this matter to Ling Yun. ”

He looked at Xiao Jue and asked again: "You are the first in the palace examination this time, and you can enter the Hanlin Academy according to the rules, do you want to enter the Hanlin Academy, or enter the palace on duty?" ”

Xiao Jue thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the Xiao family is a general, and I want to enter the palace on duty." ”

Emperor Chen nodded, looked at Tang Ning again, and asked, "I want you to enter the Hanlin Academy first and study for two years, do you have any ideas?" ”

Tang Ning bowed down and said, "The students are all arranged by His Majesty. ”

……

Tang Ning and Xiao Jue walked out of the imperial study, and this matter passed so lightly.

The old man of Dingguo has a son, and Emperor Chen really treats Xiao Jue, his brother-in-law, very preferentially, Tang Ning feels that he should be stained with Xiao Jue's light.

As for the fact that he himself will enter the Hanlin Academy, there is no surprise.

In previous years, the champion generally got an official position of Hanlin cultivation, although it was only to repair books, give lectures, and have no real power, but it was a springboard, generally speaking, once the two or three years of internship period passed, they could officially enter the officialdom of Beijing.

When he and Xiao Jue returned to the hall, Gu Bai stepped forward and asked, "How is it, Your Majesty didn't punish you, right?" ”

Xiao Jue gave him a blank look and asked, "Why did Your Majesty punish us?" ”

Gu Bai was puzzled: "Then what did Your Majesty call you to do?" ”

Xiao Jue said casually: "Your Majesty asked us to come over to ask what official we want to be, Tang Ning said that he wants to enter the Hanlin Academy, and I want to be on duty in the palace." ”

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Many of the scholars in the hall looked at them, and they immediately turned into resentment.

is also a jinshi, this kind of treatment difference, the difference is too big, the two of them ran away in the middle of the royal horse parade, it is against the etiquette law, His Majesty not only did not punish them, but also asked them what officials they wanted to do, which imperial examination, not to do what they wanted, how to choose?

Even if it is grace, it must be measured, and the holy grace received by the Jinshi present is not as good as theirs......
