Xiao Heng went to the Imperial Academy. Ning Zhiyuan had been waiting for him in his office.

Seeing him coming, he stood up and walked towards him, grabbed his arms, looked up and down and said, "are you ok? I heard you were taken by the assassin! Who is so hateful? "

The accusation that King Ning captured Xiao LIULANG, which the emperor intended to announce, was stopped by Empress 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 became known, Xiao Heng's identity would never be hidden.

After all, no matter what aspect, King Ning really has no reason to kill Xiao LIULANG, unless Xiao LIULANG's identity has another secret.

Xiao Heng said, "I'm fine. A sect in the river and lake did it. I've already dealt with it for grabbing some money."

Shuangdaomen is not innocent. It has been banned for a long time.

"Are you really OK?" Ning Zhiyuan looked at him suspiciously. "I heard that your hand was hurt too. Show me."

Two masters, it's a little bit to tell the truth

Ning Zhiyuan insists, but Xiao Heng reaches out his hand.

His wounds mainly lie in the back of his hand and wrist. The palm of his hand has healed and no trace can be seen. Ning Zhiyuan looks at his white hand with several ferocious scars interlaced. He can't help shaking his head: "it's a pity that this hand can still write?"

"Yes." Xiao Heng said.

Ning Zhiyuan finally put down his heart when he heard this: "Alas, the days when you were arrested scared me to death. At that time, I still thought, did your boy's promotion get in the way of some people's eyes? I even doubted Zhuang Yuheng! However, I met him several times, and he didn't look guilty, so I got rid of my doubt. What kind of sect in the world doesn't have a brain? What silver do you have for a poor boy from the countryside? Ah! Is she rich? I heard that the business of miaozhou hall is not good recently. You have to pay attention to it. If you have too much money, it will inevitably attract people's attention. You'd better hire some martial arts men. "

"Well." Xiao Heng's mouth goes up and down.

They sat down on both sides of the desk.

Ning Zhiyuan thought of something. He suddenly laughed and said, "well, you've got a blessing in disguise this time. You don't have to take part in the assessment at the end of the month. Wang Xiuzhuan failed the exam this time. He was severely reprimanded by Mr. Han, and almost demoted to editor."

"And you?" Xiao Heng asked.

Rather proud, Ning Zhiyuan said, "well, I'm ordinary. The third one is only. The first one is Zhuang Yuheng."

Not only their new Hanlin officials, but also the old Hanlin officials, except for Mr. Han and Mr. Shi, who are the authors and reviewers.

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

Ranking after them, the Hanlin officer is not necessarily not as talented as they are, but not as good at examinations as they are.

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

"What's the matter?" Xiao Heng asked.

Ning Zhiyuan said: "isn't Yang Shidu gone? His official position is vacant. It is said that he will be promoted. Now Zhuang Yuheng's voice is very high. "

Zhuang Yuheng is the direct grandson of Zhuang Taifu. He is the top student in this year's new course, and he has won the first place in the examination. In addition to his lack of qualifications, he is almost impeccable.

He even took the place of the prince to serve as a pledge in the state of Chen, and was a meritorious official in the state of Zhao.

In the afternoon, the Imperial Academy really announced the good news that someone had been promoted to serve as a reading assistant.

But not Zhuang Yuheng, but Xiao LIULANG.

"It's yours!" Ning Zhiyuan patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder excitedly.

Xiao Heng didn't understand how the official position of Shidu fell to him. Although he did intend to fight for it, he pretended to be missing for half a month after he was injured, and then he recuperated at home for ten days, even missed an examination.

At that time, he estimated that it was not his turn to serve this time.

"LIULANG, Congratulations!" Ning Zhiyuan said from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Heng said to him, "Congratulations, too."

Ning Zhiyuan has also been promoted, from six grade editor to six grade editor, who happens to take up the post of Xiao LIULANG.

Ning Zhiyuan cleared his throat: "cough, your official position is up to me, but I won't accept your duty room."

It's so close to the latrine that the hot weather killed him!

It's better for him to stay in his duty room!

Xiao Heng moved to the duty room of Shidu. Yang Shidu had been here before, but he didn't stay long, and he was in a hurry, so he had to clean up everything.

It's a clean, empty room.

After becoming an official, in addition to the changes in the room, the salary also rose from January 52 to January 82, which is a positive salary. In addition, there are ten pieces of clothing and ten stones of salary every year. In addition, there is an ice worship in summer and a charcoal worship in winter every year. You can ask for things or change them into money and silver.

As a whole, Hanlin academy is a Qingshui yamen, which is not as rich as Liubu. However, if you have a long experience in Hanlin academy, you will have a good look everywhere you go.

Yuan Shoufu, Zhuang Taifu and even Lao Jijiu, Zhuang Xianzhi and Li Yuanchang were all from the Imperial Academy.

Among them, Yuan Shoufu sat all the way from Xiuzhuan to the position of the Bachelor of the zhengwupin Academy. Later, he was involved in the incident and was demoted to a poor place. Five years later, he returned to Beijing and joined the cabinet. He became the first assistant of the state of Zhao.

The others chose other government offices after leaving Hanlin Academy.

Ning Zhiyuan came to help him carry things.

Outside the door, several imperial officials passed by, and their conversation came in.

"Did you hear that? Is the king of onjun going to be transferred to the cabinet

"Who did you listen to?"

"He heard the conversation between lord Han and the king of Anjun."

"You are still eavesdropping on the corner of Mr. Han!"

"No, I passed by! I heard it by chance! Mr. Han said, "when you go to the cabinet, don't delay your study. The essence of governing the country lies in these books."

The original words are certainly not like this, but it's not easy for people to ask when they see that he intends to cover up. After all, knowing too much about some things may not be a good thing.

Several people soon walked away, and the conversation gradually disappeared.

Ning Zhiyuan suddenly realized: "I say, why doesn't he argue with you? It's about finding a better place. "

What's the purpose of their joining the cabinet? Don't they hope to join the cabinet and become assistant ministers in the future? No matter how poor it is, going to Liubu yamen is also excellent.

Few people really want to spend their whole life in Hanlin Academy.

Xiao Heng did not speak.

This should be the meaning of Zhuang Taifu. It is far fetched to enter the cabinet with Zhuang Yuheng's qualifications. It is estimated that the attitude of the Empress Dowager Zhuang in the case of King Ning made Zhuang Taifu feel uneasy.

He no longer trusted empress dowager Zhuang wholeheartedly. He wanted to put more power in the hands of the Zhuang family.

Among the cabinet today, two of the second aides are his people, and half of the six cabinet undergraduates are also his people. If you add an Jun Wang, after Yuan Shoufu abdicates in the future, the cabinet will be completely under the control of the banker.

Ning Zhi foresight Xiao LIULANG thought that he was lost. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "LIULANG, don't lose heart. You will be in the cabinet one day!"

Xiao Heng is not thinking about joining the cabinet. He is thinking about whether the old man of Zhuang Taifu has poked his aunt's heart again.

palace.

The emperor and Empress Dowager Zhuang went down to the direction of Renshou palace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang, sitting on the Phoenix banish, gave a strange look at the emperor banish, and said, "your Huaqing Palace is over there."

The emperor said shamelessly: "I'll go to my mother's palace for dinner."

Empress Dowager Zhuang pondered for a moment, and gave a sound.

Emperor: The Empress didn't refuse!

After dinner, Empress Dowager Zhuang said to the emperor, "come to the study."

"What can I do for my son?" After entering the study, the emperor asked.

Empress Dowager Zhuang zhengse said: "the AI family has thought about it. The emperor has been in charge for many years. It's time for the AI family to return the imperial power to the emperor."

The queen was stunned: "why did the mother say that?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed: "from tomorrow on, the mourning family will not listen to the government behind the curtain."

The emperor's mind flashed a word - and mother together up and down the fun is not it!!!

"Mother!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at him faintly: "don't you always hope that AI family won't go to Jinluan Hall any more? That's what you want. What? Not happy yet? "

"That was before." The emperor murmured.

After the truth about Princess Jing came out, he realized that he had misunderstood his mother all these years. She had countless opportunities to kill him, but she never did.

On the contrary, he set up his mother again and again and made her suffer from leprosy. If he was not a little miracle doctor, he would live in regret for the rest of his life.

Besides, apart from the emotional factors, his mother is more courageous and skillful than him.

Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed: "I'm old, and it's time to have a few days of leisure."

The emperor blackened his face and said, "mother, you just want to play cards in Bishui Hutong."

Or the one without him!

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "well, is it that obvious?"
