After the autumn settle accounts, except Xie An
The palace exam here in the capital has already ended, and the top three have recruited more than 70 students in total, and Jinzhou students have occupied ten seats.
Under the operation of Nangong Jingnu, Jinzhou students occupied one of the top three seats.
The champion is the young son of Yuwenzheng, the minister of military affairs: Yuwenjin.
Second place is Jinzhou student: Qin De.
Tanhua Suzhou student: Liu Yu'an.
On this matter, Nangong Jingnv and Nangong Rang had a disagreement. She didn't want the precious first-class seat to be given to such a person, and the candidate for the top spot was not the person Nangong Jingnv liked. Bingshu Shangshu's young master's style of writing is quite satisfactory, and he was the third from the bottom in the examination. It can be seen that this person's talent is slightly inferior to other students. The court is just about to employ people, Nangong Jingnu does not understand why her father and emperor arranged this way .
After the palace test, Nangong Rang took the initiative to summon Nangong Jingnv, one of the father and daughter to write and the other to speak.
Nangong Rang: Is my son confused
Nangong Jingnv: "Father, my son and minister really don't understand, not to mention Liu Yu'an's top spot, then Yuwenjin almost fell out of the list when he was in the exam, and he won the top prize before he got the red list..."
Nangong Rang: In the past few years, my son does not need to worry about the government affairs. This time... Nangong Rang's pen paused when he wrote this, but he quickly continued to write: This time Enke may be the last The father presided over.
Nangong Jingnu: "Father!"
Nangong Rang raised his hand laboriously, but Nangong Jingnu didn't say any more, and there was a trace of relief in Nangong Rang's eyes: his daughter has grown up, and he is no longer the emotional little daughter he used to be, so he can rest assured.
In the past few years, Nangong Rang's mentality has changed several times. From the very beginning, he tried every means to get better, to the painful tug of war in the process, to the recent bearishness of life and death.
When it came to the last moment, I had a hunch. The so-called "long live" is the lie he has heard the most, how can there be a long live
For the current Nangong Rang, death is a relief. The reason why he gritted his teeth and lived in the world was because he was somewhat uneasy about the daughter in front of him...
Although there are many hidden dangers in the DPRK and China, after entrusting Qi Yan with the task of eliminating future troubles, Nangong Rang has slowly let go.
Recently, Nangong Rang can always recall the dream of that year, when a strange beast with amber eyes flew out of his bedroom on a black cloud. Guan Tiansi said that this was an auspicious omen, and that a worthy minister would come to the world, but Nangong Rang had always been afraid and suppressed Qi Yan for many years.
Now it seems... Maybe I was wrong. If I had trained Qi Yan earlier like Xing Jingfu, I might have brought down the Taiwei Mansion.
Nangong Rang came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and Si Jiu tacitly grasped Nangong Rang's pen-holding wrist, slightly stopping the trembling in his hand.
Nangong Rang continued to write: My son, keep in mind that the palace exam is a matter of knowledge, especially the allocation of the first, top, and three seats must be considered. The stability of the list, the second place is insignificant, and it is also a kind of grace to point to the poor students. As for the third flower... Be sure to choose a student who is both talented and beautiful.
Nangong Jingnu remembered that Qi Yan also came from a flower background, so she asked, "Father, why is this?"
Nangong Rang: If some important ministers have no direct sons under their knees, or if the direct sons die early, they will inevitably be discouraged because there is no successor. My son can find the right time to marry Tanhua Lang...
Seeing Nangong, Si Jiu became anxious, knowing that the master had something to tell him, but his hand would not obey. Si Jiu knelt down beside Nangong Rang and said humbly, "Your Majesty, let this old slave talk to His Highness?"
Nangong let out a single syllable from his throat and put down the pen.
Si Jiu explained: "Little Highness, as the so-called icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. The position of Tanhualang has always been an unwritten grace. In the past, His Majesty would choose a suitable time to marry Tanhualang. Tanhua Lang entered the family's mansion without a son, and betrothed to his daughter, so as to keep the loyal courtier from breaking the inheritance because he had no son. If you don't believe it, you can go to Hongwen Hall to find out, although there is no record of this incident In the classics, the tacit understanding between rulers and ministers has continued for hundreds of years. Little Highness, you must understand His Majesty's good intentions..."
Nangong Jingnv suddenly realized: The father left Liu Yu'an to himself as a grace to the courtiers. What about Qi Yan? Who are you planning to bestow
As soon as his sweetheart was involved, Nangong Jingnu's thoughts also changed. Countless students who have studied hard for more than ten years in Hanchuang have been accepted as a gift, which is unacceptable to Nangong Jingnu.
Nangong Jingnu was silent. As a child, she didn't want to go against her waning father, and as a princess, she couldn't go against her majesty.
Nangong Jingnv knew that everything her father did was for her own sake, but deep down she did not agree with this approach.
She has vaguely constructed a new framework in her heart, a framework that is very different from the current political and political framework, just waiting for the famous and justifiable day, slowly adding bricks and bricks.
After saying goodbye to Nangong Rang, Nangong Jingnu returned to Weiming Palace and called Chen Chuansi.
Chen Chuansi entered Nangong Jingnu's study, and Qiu Ju closed the study door from the outside and stood guard at the door.
It can be said that the "secret" of Nangong Jingnu's control of the state affairs can be kept to this day.
Chen Chuansi knelt in front of Nangong Jingnu: "See Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnu: "Get up, sit and talk."
Chen Chuansi: "The villain doesn't dare, please instruct Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnv: "The matter of the fire in the Concubine's Mansion, I asked you to investigate it secretly last time. You said that you had an eyebrow a while ago, how is it?"
Chen Chuansi: "Go back to Your Highness, the pile below saw the imperial gift at a place called Tongyuan Pawnshop in the capital. The villain checked the account book in the Concubine's Mansion and confirmed that these objects were indeed from the Concubine's Mansion. ."
Nangong Jingnu squinted her eyes, her body exuding a dangerous aura: "Go on."
Chen Chuansi: "These days, the villain sent a few reliable stakes into the Tongyuan pawnshop, and found that the owner of this pawnshop is Xie, given the name An; the word is Yuanshan."
Nangong Jingnv: "What else? This Xie An... won't be just a simple businessman?"
Chen Chuansi: "His Royal Highness has a good eye, Xie Anzu has been engaged in business for generations, and his industry is all over the country, and he has been involved in all walks of life. By Xie An's generation, he is already very rich. The yamen seems to be very polite to Xie An, but... Your Highness forgives the sin, Xie An is very careful, the valet and servants in the house are at least two generations of family sons, and the rest of the unreliable faces can only be found in peripheral industries at most. As a messenger, villain... It can only be roughly inferred that the master behind Xie An may be a certain prince, but which villain cannot provide conclusive evidence."
Nangong Jingnu's expression has calmed down, and after listening to Chen Chuansi's words, there is no change. She lifted the tea cup and raised her left hand to cover half of her face with a wide sleeve, and took a light sip.
Putting down the teacup, he said lightly, "Apart from the private collection of tributes, are there any other charges?"
Chen Chuansi replied without hesitation: "Of course there are, merchants like Xie An are definitely not clean, and if you want to check, you can definitely find it."
Nangong Jingnu: "Ten days."
Chen Chuansi: "Yes! Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnu: "Go."
After Chen Chuansi left, Nangong Jingnu thought about it: There are only a few masters behind Xie An, the second and fourth are banned, but Xie's house is not seen declining and can be ruled out.
Xiao Qi and Lao Ba are still young, and these two have no extravagant behavior on weekdays, and there is no reason to set fire to the consort's house, so they can be ruled out.
Xie An, a merchant, can get the prince's eyes, it should be a lot of money...
The remaining three... are also the richest among the princes.
The fifth brother's mother concubine Xianfei Niangniang, the mother's family is in charge of the salt and iron of the fourteen states in the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to make friends with his grandfather's family than with a businessman.
The sixth brother's mother-in-law comes from the Longdong Ma family, and her financial resources are also not to be underestimated. Moreover, the good concubine and empress have received a lot of rewards for being like their mother, and the sixth brother is generous and relied upon.
So... could it be him
Concubine Shu, the mother concubine of the third prince Nangongwang, was the young lady of the general's family. The old general had passed away a few years ago.
Nangong Jingnv took a deep breath: If the master behind Xie An is really Nangong Wang, it would be easier to handle.
…
A catastrophe is about to come, but Mr. Xie An, who is rich and rich, has no idea.
It's just that Nangong Wang left in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to do it for his birthday. As a result, the pawns that Xie An risked to accept were not delivered in time, and Chen Chuansi caught the clues.
Ten days later, at the behest of "Nangong Rang", the Ministry of Punishment and the Yingtian Prefecture in the capital issued a seizure order.
However, in the morning, a quarter of the shops in the capital were sealed, and these shops were somehow related to Xie An.
Xie An was blocked in the mansion by the police from Yingtian Mansion. The entire Xie Mansion, from the owner to the concierge, was taken away by more than one hundred people.
In front of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Ying Tianfu Yin read out Xie An's guilt: driving up market prices, selling illicit salt, reselling warehouse notes, ignoring people's lives, selling counterfeit medicines, etc. Eleven or eight major crimes.
Xie An was so frightened that his face turned white, and he insisted on shouting: "Sir, you are wronged! You know, Xie Xie has never done illegal activities! You know..."
Ying Tianfu Yin's expression changed slightly, and he scolded: "Bold! How can you make a fuss in the court? This government knows nothing! This government advises you to say a few words less, right and wrong have their own judgment!"
Xie An sat paralyzed on the ground, letting the yamen put the shackles on him. He is a smart person, and Nangong Wang has taken care of Yingtian Fu Yin. Since the other party has said so, I am afraid that someone above wants to move him.
This person may be thinking that a certain prince will pull himself out while the Third Highness is away, or it may be someone who the prince can't hold back...
When Ying Tianfu Yin saw Xie An's "acquaintance", his face became better. He also took Xie An a lot of benefits, and after a moment of indulgence, he finally reminded: "The 'Tian' network is extensive, and there are no omissions. Come on, Xie An will be sent to the heaven prison, and he will be convicted after three tribunals!"
