The emperor was almost speechless under the rage, heartbroken and disappointed. No matter whether the second son was the mastermind or an accomplice, he was unforgivably guilty. Does it matter
The emperor thought gloomyly, and gave five words:
"What evidence do you have?!"
Han Ling watched for a while, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
In this fraud case, Han Lingfu, the younger brother of the third emperor, basically made a plan, and he himself used his power in the court to fuel the flames. Only Liu Wenhui and Deng Tinglei, the two people who fanned the flames among the disciples, were Han Lingfu. At that time, he was still proud No one can use his third younger brother, but now he knows that Han Lingfu has such ulterior motives!
Deng Tinglei died, Liu Wenhui sued him, what else could he say
Just as Father would not believe that he was not dictating the Su family's back, he would not believe his baseless accusation.
Han Lingfu, oh Han Lingfu, didn't leave any clues in this whole incident! I underestimated him too much!
Seeing that Han Lingguan was speechless, the emperor was extremely disappointed. It's really embarrassing to drag your brother into the water after making a mistake, with such a character!
Han Lingguan knew that he had suffered a crushing defeat this time.
Years of accumulation, years of painstaking efforts, I am afraid they will all be destroyed...
Han Lingguan felt a dull pain in his chest, and a fishy sweetness rushed into his throat, and he said hoarsely: "Please forgive me!"
The emperor looked at him deeply, without speaking.
Half an hour later, the emperor issued two orders. First, Han Lingguan was temporarily not allowed to go out in the county palace to cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate; second, Nangong Qin was reinstated as an official.
And when Han Lingfu heard the news in Gongjun Palace, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally everything went right!
He never planned to have a falling out with Han Lingguan so early. He doesn't have many people who can use him now, and his accumulation in the court is far inferior to Han Lingguan. In many cases, he has to rely on the second brother to act smoothly. According to his original plan, at least he would wait until they teamed up to eradicate Xiao Wu before he would look for an opportunity to make a move.
Without the shield of Second Emperor Brother, I really have to plan step by step in the future.
What annoyed him the most was that he had been planning this fraud case for a long time, and he could definitely bring Nangong Qin down and ruin the Nangong clan. Seeing that the matter is about to be completed, but he has to stop the plan himself.
It's all Kui Lang's fault!
I don't know why Kui Lang went crazy, he insisted on forcing himself to extract Nangong Qin from the fraud case!
After much deliberation, his only guess was that Kui Lang wanted to use this incident to curry favor with Xiao Yi...it's absolutely disgusting!
But, he had to follow!
As long as he hasn't figured out the formula of Wuhe ointment for a day, he will be under the control of Kui Lang, and he can only act according to Kui Lang's wishes.
Compared with the mere rubble of Nangong's house, of course his own life is more important.
So, he followed Kui Lang's words and acted exactly, even if he would turn against the second brother because of it, and affect his grand ambitions and hegemony, he would not care about it.
He was even mentally prepared that his father might announce him into the palace to confront his second brother...
The only thing he was lucky about was that he didn't have any excuses because no one could use him, and as long as there was no conclusive evidence, he believed that his father would not punish him!
really.
Han Lingfu leaned against the window and looked outside.
Most of the setting sun had already set, and the sky in the west was dyed crimson, the color of blood.
The road to the emperor was originally paved with blood. Since Han Lingguan coveted that position, he should have expected that there would be a day when he lost all his money.
In this battle, the two brothers lost, but they managed to minimize their losses...
The surroundings were quiet, and the setting sun continued to set until the sky was completely dark.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye.
It was another early morning, the sun was halfway up, and the temperature at this time was just right, suitable for gossiping and walking.
In the cleaning hall of the Nanliang Palace, the sound of falling water could be heard endlessly, as if playing a musical movement for this morning.
Xiao Yi strode around the main hall of Qingzhuo Hall, and saw Guan Yubai writing a straight book in a gazebo at the back of the hall, while Xiao Si was reclining on the top of the gazebo, the dense shade of trees was just above him, covering his eyes. The light is really a place suitable for closing your eyes and taking a nap.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiaosi opened his eyes and glanced in Xiao Yi's direction, then closed his eyes comfortably, ignoring Xiao Yi's intentions.
But Xiao Yi is not uncommon, and has his own voice to welcome him.
The two eagles that had been sitting on the branch pecking each other's feathers immediately flew towards Xiao Yi with a croak, circled around him, sent him into the gazebo, and then flew back to the branch.
At this time, Guan Yubai was just finishing his brush, and Xiao Yi glanced at it casually, only to realize that Guan Yubai was painting.
This painting does not use other paints, it is purely made of ink. The dark and light ink colors form the afterglow of the setting sun, the dense branches, the necked gray eagle and the white eagle.
The double eagles are masculine and masculine, but when they play with each other on the branches, they have a soft feeling.
Hard and soft.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Xiaobai, this painting of yours is so good, it captures the essence of Xiaohui and Hanyu, just as I plan to carve a seal button for fun, please lend me this painting for a few days Bar?"
Before Guan Yubai could make a sound, Xiaohui uttered a resonant eagle cry, flew from the branch into the pavilion, and finally landed beside the painting, as if he thought Xiao Yi was calling for it.
Guan Yubai looked at Xiao Hui with a smile, and said: "When you finish carving the seal button, remember to let me appreciate it."
The implication is, of course, I agree.
Xiao Yi sat down at the stone table, stretched out an index finger to tease Xiao Hui, and after admiring the picture of two eagles crossing necks for a while, he seemed to have remembered the business, and said: "I just received Tian Detao's flying Pigeon Biography…”
As he spoke, a sly and smug smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth, he took out a randomly folded tissue paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Guan Yubai.
Guan Yubai opened it immediately.
According to Tian Detao's secret letter, the fraud case was finally settled with Su Zongyuan leaking the title, and all the candidates involved were expelled from their merits.
When he saw this, Guan Yubai smiled helplessly. The emperor's temperament has always been like this, and he will continue to...
This is his last test. If after this incident, the emperor can severely punish the king of Shunjun, clear the court, and support the fifth prince as the crown prince, then Dayu can still be saved, but now...
Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi exchanged glances. Fortunately, they were well prepared, and no matter what happened to Dayu in the end, they would not be too passive.
Guan Yubai continued to look down.
Tian Detao reported in the letter that after the fraud case was settled, Cheng Shilang entered the palace under the order of Xiao Yi, and expressed worry in front of the emperor that because of the many twists and turns of the fraud case, the prestige of the Nangong family in Shilin is now greater than before. Wang Shizi has recently made great military achievements. The two families have one civil and one military, and they are both famous and in-laws. In the future, if the Zhennan Palace has a different heart, and the Nangong family is on the side of the Zhennan Palace, it may be unfavorable to the court. .
Cheng Shilang spoke eloquently, which made the emperor feel a little worried.
In the following early morning, Nangong Qin petitioned the emperor in front of all the officials in the Jinluan Hall, expressing that eating the king's salary and sharing the king's worries was the duty of a courtier, but his own incompetence caused the Enke turmoil Constantly, although the fraud case has been investigated, but as the chief examiner, he is not strict in supervision, and he can hardly absolve himself of the blame, so he also asked to resign and return to his hometown.
All the officials were in an uproar, and the emperor naturally couldn't allow it, so he immediately refuted Nangong Qin's request...
Guan Yubai looked at the piece of tissue paper, while Xiao Yi was feeding Xiao Hui and eating dried meat. At first, the dried meat was still fed to Xiao Hui's mouth. Gradually, Xiao Yi became more and more wicked, throwing it away for a while, and throwing it away for a while. , had so much fun... Seeing this person and eagle having so much fun, even the cold feathers on the branches flew over impatiently, and came to grab the jerky thrown by Xiao Yi.
When Guan Yubai put down the tissue paper, it was this scene that was in his mind, and a little smile could not help but appear in his warm eyes.
Guan Yubai folded the letter paper in half casually, and said calmly: "Our emperor is very suspicious and wary. If we refute Mr. Nangong's request this time, we will probably regret it sooner or later."
"That's right!" Xiao Yi threw two pieces of jerky out of the pavilion one after another, causing the double eagles to fly out. He said casually, "Wait for Ah Yue's uncle to make a few more discounts, and the emperor will keep it. , if you do enough to save face, you will naturally let him go."
The Nangong family has been well-known since the previous dynasty, and because of its status among scholars, the emperor made an exception to grant Nangong Qin out of fear, ordered him to be an official in the court, and moved the whole family to the capital. Therefore, if Nangong Qin proposed to resign and return to his hometown for no reason, the emperor would not let him go but would be suspicious. But now, with the fraud case first and the threat from the Zhennan Palace, the emperor might not want them to stay in the court anymore.
As Guan Yubai once said, defeat is also spring, and success is also spring. Regardless of whether the emperor would agree to revise the Chunwei exam questions that day, when he proposed this timing, he had already taken into account everything that followed.
Guan Yubai raised his eyes to look at the afterglow of the setting sun, squinted his eyes slightly, and finally said after a long time, "Da Yu is going to be in chaos."
King Shun suffered a big loss this time, and he is afraid that he will not let King Gong go, and King Gong... After this trial, Guan Yubai can be sure that Kui Lang has something to do with him, otherwise he wouldn't It was so easy for him to do as he was told.
The prince has not yet been decided, the princes are fighting endlessly, the courtiers are ready to move, and the person with malicious intentions is coveting from the side.
Dayu may not be stable.
Xiao Yi continued to tease his eagle nonchalantly. Whether Dayu is in chaos or not is none of his business in southern Xinjiang. Anyway, as long as Yue's family is fine, Ah Yue is pregnant now, so he can't worry about it. If anyone makes Ah Yue worry, he I have no choice but to be polite!
A gleam of coldness flashed in Xiao Yi's tender peach blossom eyes.
Even though Dayu was in danger, and it was unknown when the next wave would come, Nanliang's side was going smoothly.
In the past month or so, after many times of encirclement and suppression by the Southern Border Army, the remnants of the former royal family of Nanliang were gradually cut off one by one. A conspiracy.
However, the strength of the two sides is very different, and their methods are nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg.
Guan Yubai simply took them as testing stones and let the Youqi Camp and the Xinrui Camp to practice.
Actual combat is always the best way to train an army. With the gradual formation of the Youqi Battalion and the rebirth of the Xinrui Battalion, the remnants of Nanliang are also seriously injured... Until two days ago, Hua Chuyu was ordered to lead the Youqi Battalion to follow the army. The line of the "fleeing" king and grandson Modler completely eradicated the last batch of remnants.
A series of intimidation by the Southern Border Army, coupled with Guan Yubai's series of policies to appease the people, under both soft and hard measures, the hearts of the people in Nanliang began to stabilize.
After the Xilan Kingdom and the Great Red Kingdom, those small neighboring countries who were waiting and watching soon sent envoys to Nanliang, and obsequiously handed over peace letters and gifts to the son of Zhennan Prince, wishing to pay tribute to southern Xinjiang every year from now on.
Baihui and Que'er were as busy as spinning tops just to store these gifts into the account book. They thought they had seen many strange things with Nangong Yue, and they were dazzled by seeing them. Pearl of the Bright Moon, Garan Agarwood, Coral Yaokun, Ivory Jade, Basket Aromatherapy, Wool Carpet, etc.
It is common to send dead things, and some small countries have racked their brains to take unusual paths, sending horses, elephants, and macaques...even some animals that Dayu has never heard of are sent to the palace, which makes Baihui have to be in the palace. A garden was opened in the northwest corner of the palace to house these rare and exotic animals.
After all the things that could be sent were given away, some people started to use unreasonable brains, suggesting to send the princess to say that it was a marriage with Southern Xinjiang, in order to protect the eternal friendship between the two countries...
When Que'er mentioned it to Nangong Yue and Baihui, the master and servant felt sorry for each other. They didn't know whether to sympathize with those envoys who wanted to get married or to gloat.
He didn't even grasp the temperament of the son of the world, but he dared to mention the princess's marriage, it is simply reckless!
These days, many interesting stories about the palace and the city have been introduced to Nangong Yue by Que'er. Nangong Yue has to admit that Que'er is a talented girl. When she first arrived in Wuli City, Que'er also She just learned a few Nanliang dialects such as "thank you" and "hello" on the way, but it's only been a few days since she chatted with the maids of Nanliang in the palace every day, and she can already speak a fair amount of Nanliang dialect. There is no problem with basic communication, but she learned Nanliang dialect while chatting, and she doesn't know any big characters in Nanliang language.
If this is the case, Que'er can convey enough news. For example, she knows that there is a market every ten days near the North City Gate today. It is very lively. When Xiao Yi heard it, she thought about Nangong Yue's recent Being bored in the palace all the time, it was very boring, so he thought that he should take his concubine out to go shopping and get some fresh air.
So, early in the morning, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue got into the carriage together and went out.
On the surface it looked like an ordinary carriage with a green canopy, but inside the carriage was exquisite, not only ice basins, refreshments, but also several layers of cushions, so as not to shake too much and make Nangong Yue uncomfortable.
Nangong Yue sat by the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and watched the scenery outside the window with great interest.
On the street, people came and went, the closer to the North City Gate, the denser the flow of people.
Those common people have forgotten the turmoil of the past few days, and began to live a normal life again. Those who should go out go out, those who should set up stalls, and those who should open shops...
On this bustling street, a door that was sealed with a seal was very abrupt. The seal was written with both Dayu characters and Nanliang characters. Of course, it was sealed by the people of the Southern Border Army.
Nangong Yue looked up at the red lacquered plaque above the gate, and was slightly taken aback.
She didn't know many characters in Nanliang, but the characters on this door plaque were one of them.
Nangong Yue's eyes froze, her expression a bit complicated.
It turned out that this family was the ancient family.
Ever since Helagu and his son were put under the law, the Guna family was naturally confiscated, all their property was confiscated, males over ten years old were sentenced to death, female family members and boys under ten years old were demoted to slavery... and only that A girl named Li Shaluo did not accept her fate because she was sent into slavery. Instead, she used the new breed of horse she bred to give her and her mother a chance, a chance to obtain a good citizenship.
Slaves don't belong to themselves, whether it's life or money. Only when they become good citizens can Lishaluo have a chance to make a comeback.
Although this girl used to be eager for quick success, but she was able to strive for self-improvement in the face of setbacks, which can be regarded as a heroine. Perhaps in the future, if the ancient family wants to revive, it will only depend on her.
