Chapter 1563 Chapter 868
In March, the north finally has a sense of spring, and the spring rain is falling, moisturizing the earth.
On a rainy day, the sky was a little gloomy, and there were several palace lanterns lit in the imperial study, which was dim and yellow, making it difficult to distinguish day and night at times.
Han Lingfan, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, frowned and raised his head from the pile of memorials.
In the past month or so, the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou has become a climate, and the imperial court has failed to recruit security, and another city has been occupied by it. At the end of February, there was an earthquake in Moshan City, Yanzhou, and the entire city and surrounding villages were destroyed. , countless casualties...
Han Lingfan felt a faint throbbing pain in his forehead, stood up, walked to the window, and watched the drizzle falling like threads in the courtyard, pattering, just like the melancholy that was constantly being sorted out, with no end. .
Since the third emperor's brother Han Lingfu was released from the ban, he seemed to be at peace on the surface, but he was secretly connecting with courtiers and was about to move.
Thinking about it, Han Lingfan couldn't help clenching his fists.
At the beginning, Yong Yang did not approve of using a roundabout method to lead Han Lingfu into the trap, but suggested to directly send Jin Yiwei to copy Han Lingfu's mansion, so that he would naturally be able to get the evidence, but the Queen Mother disagreed, saying that the court and the people were right. There are doubts about whether the new emperor is orthodox, and the reputation of the emperor can no longer be sullied.
After hesitating, Han Lingfan finally obeyed the Queen Mother's wishes, but as a result, hidden dangers were buried...
Hey--
Looking at the drizzling rain, Han Lingfu couldn't help but sigh.
He knew he was too indecisive and missed such a good opportunity...
Now the court is chaotic, the political situation is unsettled, and domestic disasters are continuing, which can be said to be one wave after another.
Myself, no, how should Taiyu get out of this predicament!
The wrinkles between Han Lingfan's eyebrows deepened, and his mind was at a loss.
At this moment, a light footsteps came from behind, and a small servant came to report respectfully: "Your Majesty, Second Young Master Jiang and Second Young Master Nangong are asking to see you!"
Hearing that Jiang Mingqing and Nangongxin were coming, Han Lingfan's brows stretched slightly, his face brightened, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up!"
After a while, two handsome young men walked in one after the other and bowed respectfully to the new emperor.
After Han Lingfan gave them a seat, the two sat down.
Looking at the memorials piled up on the imperial case and Han Lingfan's frowning look, Nangongxin and Jiang Mingqing exchanged a tacit glance, and they all guessed what Han Lingfan was worried about...
As usual, there were discussions between the monarch and his ministers, and they worked together to approve the backlog of memorials, and only a few were left to be temporarily reserved.
The drizzle outside didn't know when to stop. The three rulers and ministers sat by the window to drink tea. Nangongxin and Jiang Mingqing looked at each other quickly, and Jiang Mingqing said, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard that recently, Wang There are rumors that the emperor deliberately slandered Han Lingfu when he was in Jingzhao Mansion a while ago. It was only because the late emperor preferred Han Lingfu to be the heir to the throne. The late emperor was under the coercion of Zhennan Wangfu before he had to make him the emperor. Prince, that's why the emperor will always target Han Lingfu after he ascends the throne..." Intention to put him to death!
The atmosphere of the imperial study became solemn with Jiang Mingqing's narration. Jiang Mingqing actually said it euphemistically, and some of the more unbearable speculations among the people did not dare to speak out to contaminate the Holy Listening.
Han Lingfan pursed his lips tightly, his face sinking like water.
Nangong Xin replied, "Your Majesty, there are still some scholars and scholars in the capital discussing this matter recently, and they are filled with righteous indignation... If things go on like this, I'm worried that there will be another turmoil, just like the Enke fraud case. I also ask the emperor to consider it carefully, don't ask for it. Give the 'rapists' a chance!"
On the one hand, these literati students are good at demagogic people, and on the other hand, they are also the people who are most likely to be incited to make trouble. If they don’t make a decision and take action early, things will probably get worse and worse, and it will get out of hand!
Thinking of the turmoil caused by the fraud case, Han Lingfan was also frowning. If it wasn't for Huang Hetai's real talents and practical learning, this incident would be a scandal in the history of Dayu enough to go down in history...
After a short while, Han Lingfan raised his head, looked at the two of them and said, "A Xin, A Qing, you can accompany me to Kufeng Garden."
Kushifeng Garden is a teahouse in the royal capital. It is the place where the literati and students gather the most. They often recite poems and write opposites in Kushifeng Garden, talk about current affairs, and have a posture of pointing the country.
Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing immediately stood up and gave orders in unison.
When Han Lingfan wanted to go out of the palace, he naturally had to go out on tour. Under the service of the inner servant, he changed into a sapphire blue brocade robe with a green jade hairpin on his head. He is like an ordinary son of a family.
The three of them left the palace with only a few guards in front of the palace, and rode their horses to the south of the city.
The Kushiro Garden is located on the most prosperous No. bell street in the south of the city. During the last Enke period, Han Lingfan also went there with Nangongxin and Jiang Mingqing. After four years, the Kushiro Garden is really good for Han Lingfan. A bit familiar yet unfamiliar.
In the Kushiro Garden, it was still as lively as last time. In the lobby on the first floor, several people dressed as scholars were arguing with each other.
The three young people were led by Xiao Er to the second floor of the teahouse. They sat leaning against the railing and could clearly overlook the lobby on the first floor.
At this moment, several scholars in the lobby are discussing the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou. Some people say that they should be recruited, and some people say that the chaotic ministers and thieves should be wiped out. Only then can they set an example to You Yunyun.
Some of the words were also quite insightful. Han Lingfan nodded slightly, until a sharp male voice suddenly said coldly: "Rogue ministers and thieves?! The Yellow Turbans are just ordinary people who are lonely and helpless. They are cornered by corrupt officials. This means that the biggest chaotic ministers and thieves are in the south!"
In a hurry, a blue-robed scholar sitting by the gate stood up angrily with a "crack" sound, hitting the stool behind him and making a crashing sound.
"Brother Wang said yes!" The blue-robed scholar echoed loudly, with a bit of cynicism between his eyebrows, "It is said that the father and son of King Zhennan in the southern border will soon establish a kingdom, huh, only then will the messengers and thieves be executed, and everyone will be executed. Of!"
"What?! Zhennan Wangfu wants to establish a country?!"
"Brother Yu, you don't even know this! The Zhennan Palace has already announced to the world that the country will be established as 'Yue' in June."
"Could it be that the imperial court will allow the Zhennan Palace to do whatever it wants?!" Another young scholar stood up and made a hoarse question. For a time, many scholars showed their approval, and the group was angry.
"The Tian family is not in the right position, how can they send troops to attack the Zhennan palace?!" A cold and disdainful male voice came from the direction of the gate. The Tianjia in his mouth was of course the new emperor Han Lingfan.
Looking at the sound, I saw a medium-sized scholar in green robe stepping over the threshold. His robe had been washed white, and there was a hint of arrogance at the corner of his mouth.
No one noticed that when Nangong Xin on the second floor saw this person, his pupils shrank slightly, and the right hand holding the teacup subconsciously exerted a little force.
"Brother Li, sit here!" The blue-robed scholar immediately greeted the other party to sit beside him, and then said, "So brother Li has also heard the rumors about Tianjia and Zhennan Palace?"
Young Master Nali let out a mocking snort and said, "Who doesn't know that Tianjia was pushed up by the Zhennan Palace!"
"Brother Li is really honest, dare to say what others dare not!" The blue-robed scholar's eyes lit up, and he solemnly bowed to Young Master Li.
"Little brother is just expressing his heart." Li Gongzi clasped his fists humbly.
"Brother Li, don't be humble." A scholar who was at the same table with them in Li-colored robes said, "Brother Li has a noble character, because the palace of Zhennan is rebellious, brother Li disdains to be a brother-in-law with the prince of Zhennan. Divorce your wife!"
For a time, there was a gasp in the lobby, and everyone was surprised. Even Han Lingfan and Jiang Mingqing on the second floor were thoughtful. They had also heard about the second girl of Nangong Mansion and her husband-in-law Yiyi. absolute thing.
Nangong Xin's eyes shot like sharp arrows, and anger surged in her heart. At the beginning, Li Chengen was involved in the Enke fraud case because his uncle Nangong Qin was involved in the Enke fraud case. Yan's fame! This man's character is really despicable!
The blue-robed scholar gave another long bow: "Brother Li, Gao Yi, is admired by the younger brother!"
"Xiaosheng is just ashamed to be in the company of a traitor." Li Chengen was a little flirtatious under the admiration of everyone, straightened his back, and sighed, "Heaven's way is unfair, if today's home is a town The puppet of the Nanwang Mansion only suffers for the common people, and suffers for our students Han Chuang to study hard, but they are unable to serve the country, so they can only watch the traitors run rampant..."
The more Nangong Xin listened, the more ugly her face became, and she cast an inquiring look at Han Lingfan. Han Lingfan nodded slightly and made a gesture for him to take care of himself.
"Reverse black and white, and make a big statement!" Nangong Xin stood by the railing, looking down at Li Chengen with cold eyes.
Although Li Chengen below felt that the voice was a bit familiar, he did not recognize it for a while, and said angrily: "Where is Xiaosheng upside down..."
Li Cheng'en stopped abruptly halfway through his words, and looked at Nangong Xin on the second floor in disbelief. He didn't expect Nangong Xin to appear here. Remembering the divorce just now, his face was flushed, but Immediately, he said to himself that it was not him who said divorce, and he just did not deny it!
Nangong Xin looked at Li Chengen's wandering eyes, disdain in her heart, and said coldly: "According to the rules, it is not worthy to be virtuous, and the son of honor is not to be long. Today, he is the son of the emperor, and it is justifiable. Prince; in terms of etiquette, this is the prince who was appointed by the late emperor himself. He made sacrifices to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji. All the documents and ceremonies are registered by the Ministry of Rites, and there are hundreds of officials in the court as evidence. A few are unreasonable. There is no evidence, so here is a big talk, talking about the heavenly family, it is really a waste of your hard work!"
The lobby downstairs was silent for a moment, and the faces of several scholars flushed with anger, not because of shame, but because of anger.
A scholar shouted angrily: "So what if there are documents?! The first emperor did not make an decree because of the forcing of Zhennan Wangfu and Jinshang, who does not know in the court?!"
Others also echoed one after another.
Han Lingfan watched from the side with a chill in his heart. He has always felt that as long as he has a clear conscience, as long as he manages this country well, the rumors will naturally dissipate... But he doesn't know that this is escapism or incompetence. It is his "temporary" that makes Dayu more and more out of control. Turbulence, the country is precarious.
If it goes on like this, I am afraid that Dayu will be destroyed in his hands!
"A Xin!" Han Lingfan stood up and raised his hand to signal that Nangong Xin, who was about to speak, didn't need to say more, but Li Chengen only noticed that there were two people beside Nangong Xin, and suddenly thought that Nangong Xin was once Today's companion reading, couldn't help shrinking his pupils, thinking: No way...
As if verifying his guess, Han Lingfan said lightly: "The imperial examination system is for the selection of good talents, a good article must not only have clear arguments, but also have something to say and support, otherwise it will be rhetoric. After ten years of cold window, if you don't even understand this basic truth, how can you decide the case for the people in the future?!"
Han Lingfan looked around at everyone, and his voice became louder: "As for Dayu's future, you can wait and see!"
After the words were finished, the entire restaurant was dead silent, even the sound of breathing stopped, and the temperature plummeted.
Han Lingfan didn't want to say any more, he brushed off his robe and said, "A Xin, A Qing, let's go!"
Han Lingfan walked down the stairs first, followed by Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing.
Until they left, there was still no sound in the teahouse. Those scholars looked at each other, vaguely guessing that the person just now had an extraordinary origin, until Li Chengen stammered, "He...he won't be here today..."
What? ! The faces of the others were so pale that there was no trace of blood, and many were so frightened that they almost lost their feet. They were only agitated for a while. Most of them still wanted to take the exam in the future. After the emperor, once Jin Yiwei investigates their identities, will they still be able to pass the exam in the future? !
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.
However, after Han Lingfan left Kufeng Garden, he did not go back to the palace directly. Instead, he asked Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing to accompany him on a trip to the palace of the eldest princess Yongyang.
What surprised him was that not only Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan were in the Wufu Hall, but Princess Yuncheng was also there.
Everyone is close relatives. After greeting each other, they are not too restrained, and they all sit down.
Han Lingfan was gentle with Yuncheng Taoist, and he inevitably mentioned Yuan Lingbai and Yuan Yuyi in the southern border, "Aunt, I heard that cousin Yi's marriage has been settled?"
Speaking of his daughter's marriage, Yun Cheng's eyes showed a smile, and he nodded: "Yes, Mrs. Yu from the Southern Border has traveled thousands of miles to propose marriage in person, and this palace has already agreed."
At the beginning, Yuncheng asked her daughter to go to the southern border with her second son just to avoid misfortune, but she did not expect that the fate of her daughter would be in the southern border. Mrs. Yu did not hesitate to come to the capital to propose a marriage, and she had already shown great sincerity, which made Yuncheng even more satisfied with this marriage.
Today, Yuncheng came to see Yong Yang specially for Yuan Yuyi's marriage, and wanted to discuss the dowry with Yong Yang. After all, she was married far away, and she was married to the southern border. She originally set up her daughter's land in Jiangnan. so fitting...
Han Lingfan smiled slightly and said, "That's good. I will also ask the Queen Mother to add makeup to Cousin Yi."
Seeing that there was no grudge on Han Lingfan's face, Yun Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
When she received a letter from Nangong Yue asking about Yuan Yuyi's marriage, Yun Cheng also came to discuss it with Yong Yang. Yong Yang agreed to let Yuan Yuyi marry to Southern Border. First, when she went to Southern Border a few years ago I have also met Mrs. Yu, and I feel that Yu’s family is clean and honest; secondly, although Southern Border is separated from Dayu, it is not an enemy of Dayu, and there is no need to walk on thin ice.
As soon as Yong Yang said, Yun Cheng replied and agreed to the marriage, but he was still worried that the new emperor would be unhappy.
The sons of the late emperor are indeed the most broad-minded today!
Thinking of the behavior of several other imperial nephews, Yun Cheng felt a little sigh in his heart.
She knew that since Han Lingfan had come to Yong Yang to talk about something important, she didn't stay for long, so she took the lead in saying goodbye, and Fu Yunyan got up and sent Yuncheng away in person.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard, leaving Yong Yang, Han Lingfan, Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing in the room.
After a moment of silence, Han Lingfan's eyes flashed with determination, he raised his eyes to look at Yong Yang, who was sitting next to him, looked her in the eye without evasion, and solemnly asked, "Auntie, how can I do this? Get rid of the Three Emperor Brothers?"
"..." Yong Yang's pupils shrank slightly, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Han Lingfan in surprise.
She has always known that Han Lingfan is a good boy, but a good boy does not mean that he will be a good emperor!
Being an emperor, just being kind is not enough...
This is the first time that Han Lingfan has been so firm!
Yong Yang's sharp eyes were somewhat complicated, but also somewhat relieved.
That day, the queen mother tried to use Wuhe paste to conjure Han Lingfu, but Yong Yang disagreed from the beginning, and even vaguely guessed that Han Lingfu was suspicious, and this matter might not go well. But considering how old she is, and she doesn't know how many years to come, it is impossible for her to protect Han Lingfan all the time. He needs to suffer some setbacks before he can grow up, so Yong Yang didn't say much, and let the Queen Mother go to toss... …
However, of course Yong Yang still left a way out.
