Tang Ji turned around and looked at Chen Zehan in confusion: "Congratulations?"
You have to get up an hour early tomorrow and congratulations, where does the joy come from?
Chen Zehan nodded with a smile on his face and explained softly: "Master Tang also knows that the person in charge is not qualified to participate in the morning court. Even though you are in the sixth rank, but now His Majesty has announced that you will be allowed to participate in the morning court. In other words,
You’re going to be promoted!”
Speaking of this, his eyes once again showed envy. Tang Ji had only been in the court for more than two months. He had no fame and fame, but being promoted was like drinking water and eating. This is a pair of people who have been in trouble for several years or even more than ten years but still have nothing to lose.
It must be a very big blow to the officials in the fifth and sixth ranks!
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this was the explanation given by Emperor Ning about the assassination. But this is fine. Li Yan can take his time and play. It is not so easy to be promoted to an official position. Last time, he jumped from the ninth rank to the sixth rank.
, I don’t know how much it can rise this time, I hope the Dog Emperor can be more generous.
He exhaled and bowed to Chen Zehan in return: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for telling me about the method of auditing accounts..."
But before Tang Ji could finish speaking, Chen Zehan waved his hand to interrupt: "I just saw you looking worried. Since Your Majesty has given Master Tang permission to take a day off, you'd better go back to rest quickly and adjust as soon as possible.
It’s not too late for us to talk about the audit some other time.”
Hearing this, Tang Ji didn't insist anymore. If he really explained it to him in detail, he would probably not be able to explain it clearly in an hour or two. Besides, that girl in Jingyang was still waiting for him. He nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will talk to you tomorrow."
Mr. Chen discusses."
"Okay!" Chen Zehan replied with a smile.
The two of them parted after a few more polite words. Looking at Tang Ji's back, Chen Zehan sighed: "Everyone said that he was a disaster star, but I relied on him to take the position of the left minister of the household department. Maybe all the people who were affected by the disaster were
Those who are against him are more blessed than those who are good friends with Tang Ji. From this point of view, I will have to get closer to that kid in the future. Maybe there is hope for me to get along with him in this life.
..Hehehehe!”
He was giggling and imagining the scene of becoming a minister while walking towards the main courtyard, but accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.
"Ayo!"
Two clerks who were passing by saw this scene and ran over quickly: "Mr. Chen, are you okay?"
"Ah, my waist~"
.......
Tang Ji had previously placed two pieces of clothing in the yamen just in case something happened, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy. Naturally, he couldn't wear official uniforms when he took Jingyang out for fun, so he changed into a robe in the yamen.
After leaving the household department, he followed what the previous eunuch told him and walked all the way to the palace road near the palace gate to wait. He leaned against the deep high wall and looked at the sky twice. He couldn't help but sigh, that dead girl in Jingyang
Are you kidding yourself?
Just as he was complaining in his heart, a petite figure had already walked up to him, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said softly: "Master Tang!"
Hearing the sound, Tang Ji lowered his eyebrows and looked at the other party. He was shocked when he looked at the quirky little girl in front of him. Judging from her voice, height, and figure, she was Princess Jingyang, but her appearance had changed dramatically.
She changed from a light yellow dress and gold hair accessories to a white dress and jade hairpin. In short, people who are not familiar with her will not believe that she is a princess, so they can't help but ask: "Jing, Jingyang
,Who made you look like this?"
Hearing this, the woman in black standing behind Li Qingmeng immediately replied: "You want to take the princess out of the palace. If you are discovered, there will be a lot of trouble, so I will help her disguise herself."
Tang Ji was very familiar with the voice, but he was also very unfamiliar with the appearance of the woman in black in front of him. He was surprised and said: "Oh my god, Governor Tianxuan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the other party's words again and continued: "Wait a minute, who is going to take the princess out of the palace? It's obviously her..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Qingmeng pulled Tang Ji towards the palace gate: "Ah, don't talk, let's get out of the palace first, otherwise the day will be over soon!"
After saying that, she glanced at him secretly, then covered her lips and snickered.
Tang Ji probably guessed what was going on, but he didn't expect this damn girl to use himself as a shield. Fortunately, Emperor Ning agreed. Otherwise, he might have been called to the imperial study. He shook his head helplessly, but
They noticed that Tianxuan was still following them: "Sir Tianxuan, please leave the princess to me. You don't have to send it away."
"Leave it to you? How can you protect the princess with your three-legged cat skills?" Tianxuan said with a hint of contempt in her tone, and then added: "Your Majesty ordered me to protect the princess personally."
Hearing this, Tang Ji sighed. He was still a little in awe of the top leader of the Xingchen Division. He felt that this woman was several times more dangerous than Yue Shuhua, but he still adjusted his expression, nodded in response and said nothing more.
The three of them quickly walked to the palace gate. The captain of the imperial army was about to stop the interrogation, but he saw the black star order flashing in the hand of the woman in black. Without thinking much, he quickly ordered the imperial army soldiers to let them go.
Tang Ji glanced at the black token, but quickly looked away.
After leaving the imperial city, Li Qingmeng looked at the busy streets and jumped up happily: "Yeah, we're finally out!"
After shouting, she ran towards the street.
Tang Ji and Tianxuan followed leisurely. Looking at her appearance at this time, the former couldn't help but ask: "Governor Tianxuan, may I ask how old you are today?"
"Is this how Mr. Tang asks about a woman's age? Besides, it's not very good for you to ask about a woman's age like this, right?" Tianxuan stared at Li Qingmeng not far away, asked expressionlessly, her eyes trembled slightly, and she sighed softly.
He said: "I can't remember clearly, I must be over fifty years old."
Half a hundred?
This woman clearly looks like she is in her thirties.
Tang Ji showed doubts and continued to ask: "But, you look very young!"
Tianxuan paused, turned to look at him, and sneered: "Mr. Tang's Ji Ran Bookstore has published several martial arts novels. I thought you knew the world very well. You also know that women all love beauty. I got it in my early years.
This secret art of rejuvenating your appearance can slow down the aging process of your appearance. Coupled with good daily maintenance, you will have the youthful look you say."
The secret of beauty?
Tang Ji's eyes widened immediately. When she was chatting with Jiang Ran two days ago, she also said that she would be old in a few years. If she could learn this secret technique, she wouldn't have to worry. She looked at Tianxuan excitedly.
The latter also guessed his thoughts and added: "However, there is no way to learn below the master level!"
After hearing her words, Tang Ji immediately lowered his head. However, now he has not even entered the third-rate. He wants to be promoted to the master level and get the Year of the Monkey and the Moon. But then again, the father-in-law is the last general of the Ning Kingdom, and his strength is similar to Su Ling.
Then Ranran's martial arts talent should be very high!
Seeing that he was silent, Tianxuan continued: "Master Tang, do you want to learn the art of facial expression? Or is it because of your beautiful lady?"
Hearing this, Tang Ji's eyes narrowed slightly. Why did he bring up Jiang Ran again? He was about to change the topic, but was interrupted by Li Qingmeng.
"Tang Da...Brother Tang Ji, I want to eat candied haws on a stick!"
"Okay, I'll take you to buy it!" Tang Ji seemed to have found a savior, smiling at the little girl, then holding her hand and walking towards the vendor selling candied haws in front.
Seeing this, Tianxuan didn't ask any more questions. She chuckled and followed slowly.
...
Now it has just entered May. Although it is not hot, it is still unbearable to be exposed to the sun for a long time on the street. Li Qingmeng complained that she was tired after walking around for less than half an hour. Tang Ji wanted to find a place nearby to rest, and happened to find the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.
Its Ruyue Building is nearby.
Ruyue Building has two floors in total. The interior space is very large and the decoration is extremely luxurious. There is a very spacious stage in the center of the first floor, on which several dancers are dancing to the music.
The guests sitting around were staring at the stage intently. As long as the dancer's movements were slightly larger, they would scream repeatedly. Some people were even sitting in the corner, thinking about certain scenes, with their hands on the floor under the table.
Lower rhythm.
However, this is not a brothel. Once a customer becomes lustful and dares to tease the dancer, he will be thrown out by the guards regardless of his identity. This is one of the reasons why it is famous in the city.
When the waiter saw that Tang Ji and the others were dressed in extraordinary clothes, he immediately greeted them with smiles: "Guests, do you want to go to the stands upstairs?"
Zhou Qingwan had said that the Heavenly Order could be used in various industries under the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, but Tang Ji felt that it was a bit fussy to bring it out now, so he nodded directly: "Give us two more pots of good tea and snacks."
"Okay, sir, please come this way." The waiter responded and took Tang Ji up to the second floor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived upstairs, Tang Ji found an "acquaintance". He saw Zhang Yijun drinking a small drink and bragging loudly with a few rich kids around him, but he didn't think much and continued to walk forward.
.
But Wang Xinyu, who was sitting aside, noticed him and quickly tugged on Zhang Yijun's sleeve to remind him: "Young Master, Tang, Tang Ji!"
Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Yijun's face disappeared, and his eyes suddenly focused on Tang Ji. His brows wrinkled slightly. After thinking for a few moments, he laughed loudly: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Tang? Why? You don't need to go there today.
Yamen? No, I remember you had a rest yesterday and you were attacked by an assassin. Are you okay?"
Seeing that Tang Ji ignored him, his face instantly darkened. He noticed that there were two people around him, raised the corners of his mouth again, and said sarcastically: "Who are these two people around Mr. Tang? You are not in the palace during the time when you are in office."
It couldn't be for a private meeting, why would you bring a little girl with you for a private meeting? Isn't this your child? He's already so old? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Lord Tang is worthy of being the pillar of my Ningguo. He is so strong even in that aspect.
I don’t know what your beautiful little wife would think if she knew that you secretly raised a woman and had such a big daughter. Why don’t you give Jiang Ran to me? I don’t mind if you play with her.
How about giving you another thousand taels of silver? Hahaha!"
Hearing this, the eyes of many people upstairs were attracted, and the few who heard his words also whispered about Tang Ji.
Tianxuan's face suddenly darkened. She turned around and stared at Zhang Yijun with those eyes that seemed to be able to swallow everything, so frightened that the latter couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Tang Ji also turned his head, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Governor Tianxuan, I'm going to go up and whip him now, you won't stop me, right?"
"No, he just insulted the princess. According to the law of Ning Kingdom, he should be fifty feet tall. Also, your majesty also ordered me to be satisfied as long as I can cure your heart disease. Apart from that, what he just said is not true.
The officer felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, so you can do whatever you want, as long as no one is killed, and leave other matters to me." Tianxuan replied calmly.
Tang Ji didn't know what "your problem" she meant, and didn't think much about it. He walked straight towards Zhang Yijun with an angry look on his face: "I've been holding back a lot of anger today, so I just want to vent my anger on you!"
