Chapter 166: What a Credit?
If Meng Yuan is a move to cherish talents, then Liu Yiyang seems to be unqualified.
Because Chu Nanyue participated in the whole process, he knew how many catties and taels Liu Yiyang had. Although Liu Yiyang is better than others, compared with Wang Chang, the position of champion should have been directly given to Wang Chang.
"What did the Sixth Highness discover?" Chu Nanyue asked.
"My people found out that Liu Yiyang's words and deeds are very similar to an official in the Ministry of War a few years ago, and that official is the son of Meng Yuan's old friend." Aventurine Road.
It turned out that Meng Yuan's old friend had committed a crime a few years ago, so his son who was placed in the military department did not serve as an official for too long, so he was dismissed and demoted to a civilian.
I didn't want to be in Meng Yuan's position as Shangshu, but I remembered Liu Yiyang, the son of my old friend, and secretly told him about the martial arts examination, and leaked the exam questions, which led to Liu Yiyang's smooth exam.
Chu Nanyue couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "No wonder Liu Yiyang never mentioned his father, it turns out that there is this reason." ”
I know why Meng Yuan defended Liu Yiyang so much, it turned out that he wanted to promote the son of an old friend.
"If you just tell the son of an old friend and explain the matter of the martial arts examination, there must be nothing wrong with it." Aventurine Road. "But if he really leaks the exam questions because of this, and secretly protects each other, then his father will not spare him."
paid attention to Meng Yuan, and also had a lot of Donglin Shuo's selfishness. Meng Yuan was hostile to Chu Nanyue, but he was haunted by the power of her garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, not for a day or two.
Although Chu Nanyue didn't say anything herself, how could Donglin Shuo not feel Chu Nanyue's worries in this.
"What about the evidence that His Highness the Sixth Highness said......" Chu Nanyue asked.
Tanglin Shuo didn't think about it, so he said: "I want to go to Liu Yiyang's residence tonight with General Chu to investigate." ”
Chu Nanyue was about to ask him why he didn't send someone to go directly, when he heard Dongling Shuo add: "If it's someone else, I'm not at ease." I don't know the bottom of this trip, if General Chu is with me, I can take care of it,"
Chu Nanyue listened to his words very earnestly, and it was for official business, so she couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to nod her head and agree.
At night, she and Donglin Shuo were both dressed in black, because they were both superb martial arts, and they climbed over the wall to enter the house, so it was naturally no problem.
The two of them went straight to the study, where the door was hidden and there was no light.
Tanglin Shuo first got close to the past, and found that there was no one inside, so he beckoned to Chu Nanyue.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they heard the laughter of the maids not far from the door.
"My lord really has a lot of details, and he has to let us sort out the books in the study at night." The maid complained.
As he spoke, several people were about to push the door in.
Chu Nanyue and Dongling Shuo had nothing to hide, so they had to hide in the lower corner of the desk first, because this place was covered, and it was dark at night, and the maids did not see it.
But because the space was too narrow, Tanglin Shuo and Chu Nanyue were close together, and one of Dongling Shuo's arms was on Chu Nanyue's waist.
Just when Meng Qiu was in the middle of it, Chu Nanyue felt stuffy. She found herself too close to Tanglin Shuo, and her heartbeat seemed to speed up.
And listening to the footsteps of the maids around her, Chu Nanyue didn't dare to make a sound, just waiting for them to pack up their things and go out one by one.
I don't know how long it took, Donglin Shuo suddenly opened his mouth and said with a soft smile: "General Chu's rouge today is very good-looking. ”
Where is there any rouge, but Chu Nanyue was nervous for a while, and his face turned red as if a thin layer of rouge had been applied.
Chu Nanyue was vigilant about the movement outside, and he didn't react to Dongling Shuo's tone for a while, so he only lowered his voice and said, "Sixth Highness, be quiet!" ”
Donglin Shuo slowly got up, came out from under the desk, and stretched out his hand towards Chu Nanyue.
"Alright, they're gone." Aventurine Road.
Chu Nanyue got up and came out, not looking at Dongling Shuo, only one person explored Liu Yiyang's study first.
Maybe it's new to the capital, but there aren't many things here.
In the dimness, Chu Nanyue could only get close to the past and look at it carefully, she probably looked at it, Liu Yiyang's study was mostly military books and ancient books, nothing unusual.
So Chu Nanyue returned to the desk and saw that there was a small cabinet with a lock, so he stopped moving.
Tanglin Shuo also walked over, because he had been exposed to this kind of thing before, and he came prepared today, so it was not difficult to open the lock.
When the two opened the small cabinet, they vaguely saw a few letters, Chu Nanyue glanced at the signature Meng Yuan on the envelope, and nodded to Tanglin Shuo with certainty.
Because they were in Liu Yiyang's mansion after all, they didn't stay for long, and they only took those few important letters with them, and restored all the places they had searched in the study to their original state, and then left in a hurry.
When Dongling Shuo and Chu Nanyue returned to the General's Mansion, they hurriedly lit the candles and looked at the letters carefully.
"What is written on this is indeed the same as what His Highness the Sixth Highness investigated." Chu Nanyue looked at the channel. "His Royal Highness has seen Master Meng's handwriting, is this correct?"
Seeing Dongling Shuo nodding, Chu Nanyue became more and more calm, and said: "But this kind of thing, Liu Yiyang actually stayed in the mansion and never burned it, but it was beyond my expectations." ”
Donglin Shuo was not surprised, and said: "It has been a long time since the incident of the martial arts examination, Liu Yiyang was vigilant before, and he didn't expect that a few months later, there would still be people who suspected him and came to investigate. Such personal letters are not so easy for others to get, and of course he does not panic. ”
Chu Nanyue nodded, speaking of which Liu Yiyang was too confident, while Meng Yuan neglected to remind.
However, it is precisely because of some omissions between the two that they can find out the ins and outs.
"What's next, what is General Chu going to do?" Tanglin Shuo asked.
This matter is already clear, and the evidence is now available, but will it be a little risky to rashly participate in this matter to the emperor?
Chu Nanyue, as a courtier, and with a garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, once he challenged other ministers, he could easily be seen as using his power to suppress political opponents.
"Why don't you give this benefit to Chu Nanxuan?" Chu Nanyue chuckled.
Tanglin Shuo glanced at her and continued, "He may be in need of this great gift." ”
Because Chu Nanyue has already provoked the dispute between Chu Nanxuan and Liu Yiyang, it is okay to give Chu Nanxuan a boost at this time.
Chu Nanyue is not afraid that Chu Nanxuan will refuse, he can bring down Liu Yiyang, and even reshape the power of the military department, and he may also take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, he must be happy to enjoy it.
And Chu Nanyue's side can not only punish Meng Yuan for favoritism and fraud, but also uproot the scourge of Liu Yiyang as soon as possible.
What's more important is that under this operation, Chu Nanyue is not responsible at all.
She wasn't responsible, though she didn't take any credit for it.
"Doesn't General Chu want this kind of reporting?" Tanglin Shuo asked at the right time.
"What's the credit?" Chu Nanyue said, "If you really talk about it, it is also that His Royal Highness has been investigating for a long time before he can find out about this matter." ”
