After a long time, Kong Shangxian calmed down and sighed: "Shangguan's family...... Still not a little moving? ”

Li Qing nodded beside him and hesitated: "Lord Shangshu, do you think the Shangguan family will still be in the dark?" ”

Kong Shangxian shook his head, because at noon today, the right minister had personally visited the door, clearly expressing his support for His Majesty the Emperor's decision, and would also help persuade the other three major lords, now it seems that this is not an empty promise, the right minister must have visited the Shangguan family.

As for why it has not appeared for a long time, there is only one possibility, that is, the Shangguan family refused, and the refusal was very firm, even if the other three major families acted one after another, it was indifferent.

Shangguan family, is it really so ignorant of current affairs?

Kong Shangxian was puzzled, with the support of the three major families and many small families, a single Shangguan family could not pose any threat to the imperial power, why was that Shangguan so stubborn? Does he want the entire Shangguan family to be buried together?

Jane is in the emperor's heart, these four words are not just talking, this behavior of the Shangguan family is like playing with fire, playing pride in front of the emperor, isn't this jealousy?

Of course, there is another thing that is also like a thorn in Kong Shangxian's heart, that is, last night, the night banquet in Shangguan's mansion is said to be grand and eye-catching.

Although he knew that it was a night banquet of climbing power and wealth, which involved the transaction of financial power in the officialdom, Kong Shangxian always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Li Shilang, you are a descendant of the Li family, right?" Suddenly, Kong Shangxian asked Li Qing next to him.

"That's right." Li Qing nodded: "My Li family is not a dragon hero, it is considered weak in many small families, even I, a descendant of the lineage, have not been able to get an official and a half position, thanks to the order of Lord Shangshu, the lower officials have the opportunity to be appointed, and the grace of knowing is unforgettable." ”

"Hmm...... This matter is the grace of His Majesty, you are a talented person, the official values you because you are different from those wine bags and rice bags, in the future in the officialdom, don't say this kind of grace, forming a party for personal gain, this move is no different from the door valve, and it will be taboo by Your Majesty. ”

"Lord Shangshu taught, and the lower officials should remember it." Li Qing nodded respectfully, but he was puzzled in his heart, for no reason, Lord Shangshu asked what his family background was for, wasn't it to win over the relationship?

Kong Shangxian also saw his doubts, and smiled: "This official inquired about your family history, and there is something for you to do." ”

"Lord Shangshu, please speak." Li Qing is colorful.

"Last night, those officials who attended the night banquet in the Shangguan Mansion, are there any people you know?"

"Don't hide it, Xiaguan's maternal uncle is one of them." Li Qing said bluntly, guessing in his heart what this Lord Shangshu meant.

"Oh? That's right, as your squire, it's not difficult to get closer to your uncle, right? Go and inquire about what happened in the government last night, but what was abnormal and what Shangguan Mingwen said, all of them were recorded one by one, and then handed over to the official. ”

"This ......" Li Qing hesitated slightly, and said: "This matter is very important, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to inquire rashly, although Lord Shangshu has been favored, but after all, he is only a scholar of the Ministry of Education, and he must also play His Majesty." ”

"No need, it's inconvenient to play Your Majesty at this time, just do it, Lord Shilang can do it, if something happens, there is an official behind you, you must pay attention to this matter and investigate carefully."

"In this case, Xiaguan will try his best!" Li Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, but the suspicion in his heart lingered.

Secretly probing the four major gates, that is the dignified official department of the book, how can he be a level of the Ministry of Education Shangshu can do? Isn't this a dog meddling with a mouse?

Also, why is it inconvenient to play Your Majesty?

This place is only a stick of incense from the inner court, even if His Majesty the Emperor goes to the harem, but it is not yet night, it is okay to entrust a little eunuch to pass through, how can it be said that it is inconvenient?

The more Li Qing thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, because he noticed that a trace of helplessness and a wry smile flashed on the face of this Shangshu master.

What's so hard to say?

……

Kong Shangxian did have something unspeakable, because Yang Mu, the emperor, was not in the palace at all at this time, but took advantage of the Queen Mother's inattention, and quietly took Concubine Nuo, as well as Shen An and Ji Ling'er, quietly out of the palace and walked on the street.

Originally, I was going to take the queen with me, and it was called a honeymoon, but the cold queen, who is now obsessed with martial arts, heard that she was wandering out of the palace, but she just glanced at Yang Mu lightly, and then made an edict to let Concubine Nuo accompany her and leave the palace instead.

For the first time, Yang Mu heard that a honeymoon can still be called a top bag.

But it doesn't matter anymore, really speaking, Yang Mu has never experienced the life of ordinary people in this world, every time he travels, he is hugging back and forth, and he can't experience the fun of the streets and alleys at all.

Of course, the private visit of Weifu is not only for relaxation, but also includes understanding the people's feelings, looking for opportunities to change the law, and investigating the illegal behavior of officials.

A group of four people deliberately dressed up, changed out of brocade clothes, put on coarse cloth robes, and walked around the street.

The street of the imperial city can be said to be the most prosperous place in Cangguo, teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, green buildings, everywhere, there are many small traders in the open space on both sides, selling some agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits, and there is also a rough handicraft products, such as bamboo strips, bamboo baskets and the like.

There are constant pedestrians on the street, some shouting, some carrying burdens and hurrying, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some children playing and playing, which is very lively.

On both sides, there are dilapidated and quaint moss-covered houses, and some courtyard walls are also covered with dense green creeper vines, which seem to sweep away some of the sultry heat of autumn under the narrow shadow, and have a little cool feeling.

As the most prosperous place in Cangguo, Huangcheng Street is very lively, unlike some other small cities, there are not only dignitaries, but also some businessmen who rely on big families to do business, the social status is not high, but it is richer than some civilians who farm, and you can also go to a restaurant and visit the Qinglou in your spare time, so the whole atmosphere looks like the ancient streets in the TV series.

The only difference may be that there are no children of the powerful who ride horses and gallop in the city, because in the surrounding countries, equestrianism has not really flourished, and even the war is mainly chariots, so the children of the powerful have not yet found such a fun.

Yang Mu was shopping on the street for the first time in ancient times, so he was very curious, feeling that he had entered another world, walking here and there, occasionally watching some little tricks played by children, which scared Ji Ling'er and Shen An all the time, their sharp eyes were like owls, and they were always staring at the pedestrians passing by, for fear that something unpredictable would happen.

Concubine Nuo is similar, after all, she is a princess of a country, she has been raised in the deep palace since she was a child, she has received an upper-class aristocratic education, and she has strict standards for her words and deeds, and as a girl, she is not allowed to go on the street at all, so even if she is almost eighteen years old, she has not really gone shopping once, everything is very novel, and the smile on her face is no less than Yang Mu.

If it weren't for being a concubine, she would have to be centered on her man at all times, I'm afraid she would have been jumping around a long time ago.

However, even so, the four attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street.
