Lian Ruohan witnessed the whole thing, but she didn't find Li Dingshan and Song Chaodu, and she didn't know that Dong Si and Dong Qiniang were also nearby, but she saw Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao appearing.

After Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao appeared, Lian Ruohan left the Gongyuan and came to the inn.

Hearing what Lian Ruohan said, Xia Xiang squinted his eyes and smiled silently. Zhang Hou, Shen Bao, and Cao Shujun were all dumbfounded, and no one thought that they just posted a black list and wrote the four big words "Xia Xiang fell off the list", which caused such a major incident, and also alarmed King Jian, and King Heqing were instructed in front of the palace, and the matter was really big.

But the question is, where did King Jian and King Qing learn about this, and why did they come here? Zhang Hou and Shen Bao glanced at each other, and suddenly a chill arose in their hearts, did Xia Xiang have long expected that this matter would be turbulent and attract the attention of all parties before he posted the list? If that's the case, Xia Xiang is really good.

"King Qing is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and King Qing is asking about this matter, which is reasonable and in accordance with the rules. Why did the king also intervene? Also, the imperial examination is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and the examination is also under the jurisdiction of the Shangjing Mansion, so what is the matter with the former division of the Guandian? It's messed up, it's really messed up. Cao Shujun was still immersed in the excitement of Lian Ruohan's arrival, and wanted to rush to take out the jade Lianhuan and Ruoer to let Lian Xiaoniang choose, but after listening to what Lian Ruohan said about what happened at the gate of the Gongyuan, his mind was completely attracted by the twists and turns of things.

"Only in the chaos can you make profits, although the king does not govern the Ministry of Rites, but there is a fraud case in the department, as a prince, whether it is for the emperor to share worries, or to seek justice for the exam, as long as he comes forward, there will always be a valid reason." Zhang Hou quickly analyzed the purpose of the appearance of various people, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps around the room, "King Qing is one step later than seeing the king, it can be seen that someone has notified the king early." Of course, it is not ruled out that King Qing deliberately delayed until the right time to appear. There is no need to mention the officials of Shangjing Mansion, even if Fu Shaoyin comes, in front of the two princes and a palace marshal, he will not be able to please him. What's more, Fu Shaoyin couldn't wait to pretend not to know about this matter and avoid it. In front of the palace, they all instructed to wave the leaves to win the Ye Palace, which should be under the orders of the three princes, and his appearance is equivalent to the appearance of the three princes. ”

"The four princes of Jingxing and Qingyun, although only King Qing showed up, but the three princes of King Jing, King Qing and King Xing intervened, but the fifth prince Yun Wang didn't see anyone and didn't hear his voice, could it be that the five princes really stayed out of the matter?" Shen Bao rubbed his forehead and looked at Xia Xiang with great admiration, "As soon as Brother Xia made a move, he stirred up the storm in the capital, you are still just a cloth cloth, he really stepped into the court one day, and he may not know how much wind and cloud it will sweep." Now above the court, the prime minister covers the sky with one hand, excludes dissidents, and suppresses loyalty, and someone should come forward, and the court is clear. ”

"Wow......" Zhang Hou couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother Shen is really good at laughing, Brother Xia's future is unknown now, and he doesn't even have fame, how can he be an official?" Even if you are lucky enough to be a high school jinshi this time, the official department will be awarded an official, at most it will be a seven-grade officer, and if you want to compete with Hou Pingpan, a first-class officer, where is there a half-point chance of winning? The second- and third-grade officials who were demoted out of Beijing by Hou Pingpan, can you still count them? ”

"Haha, thanks to the love of the two, how dare Xia compare with Hou?" Xia Xiang laughed and refilled the tea for Lian Ruohan, "Lian Xiaoniang, listen to your opinion, is Ye Dianshuai here for the third prince?" ”

Lian Ruohan picked up the tea, raised it to his lips and put it back, with a pair of beautiful eyes thoughtful: "I have a few things that I don't know, and I ask Xia Langjun to teach them one by one." When I passed by the Gongyuan and saw the black list, I sent someone to King Jing's Mansion to ask for the king, and the person I didn't want to send was left on the front foot, and the queen arrived on the back foot, so it can be seen that someone had already informed the king, is this person you? ”

Xia Xiang shook his head in the questioning eyes of Zhang Hou, Shen Bao, and Cao Shujun. He also wondered who had informed the king, and that he was the first to appear, indicating that the king had known earlier than the rest of the people.

Although Xia Xiang is also very clear that in what Ruohan said, there must be a primary and a secondary, and there are also intentional omissions, but it is generally not bad. King Qing was he who invited Jin Jia to go to Bingbao, he was not surprised by the appearance of King Qing, and why did he come to see the king?

But whoever the king had been entrusted to come, that person was helping him. Seeing that the king would definitely not be an enemy of Wenchang because of his failure, nor would he come to the gate of the Gongyuan to make trouble idle, let alone find an opportunity to make a big fuss from the black list incident, and then take the initiative to attack and profit from the chaos, seeing that the king did not have such a mind. From this, it can be concluded that there must be someone behind the scenes who cooperated with his Zhang Bang and deliberately made things bigger.

So who is this person?

"Not me." Xia Xiang shook his head, "I'm also wondering about this." ”

"Even the little lady, no matter who invited the king, let me ask you, did you send someone to invite the king to come, did you want to help Brother Xia?" Shen Bao grinned, and there was more banter in his eyes, "I wonder if even the little lady is married?" ”

Lian Ruohan smiled and said generously: "The little woman is not married yet, but she ...... I sent someone to ask for the king, not to help Xia Langjun, but to have other plans. Xia Langjun, is King Qing what you invited? ”

Shen Bao smiled: "I have learned the straightforwardness of the little lady." ”

Cao Shujun heard the ridicule in Shen Bao's words, and said dissatisfiedly: "In this way, the little lady is so frank and honest, Brother Shen should not compare the vulgar fans in the world to the little lady." ”

"Where do I have it?" Shen Bao deliberately matched Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan, "I just want to be a matchmaker for Lian Xiaoniang and Brother Xia, the two are in love, it is a match made in heaven......"

"If you two want to argue, please go outside, Xia Langjun and I are talking about national affairs." Lian Ruohan's face sank, showing a slight displeasure, and glanced at Cao Shujun and Shen Bao, "Are you two invited, or shut up?" ”

Cao Shujun hurriedly shut up, it wasn't enough to shut up, and he took out a piece of paper and pasted it on his mouth, implying that he would not say anything more. Shen Bao smiled apologetically and drank tea without saying a word.

Xia Xiang remained silent, thinking that even the little lady was so powerful, and between the changes in Fang Cai's face, there was a majesty overflowing beyond words, which made people daunting, worthy of being the daughter of a big family, and she had the power to be high.

Zhang Hou turned up the corners of his mouth, and his disdain was unobstructed, but she was just a businesswoman, and she dared to talk about national affairs without shame, which was really beyond her means. I had the heart to turn around and go out, I didn't want to listen to Lian Ruohan's so-called high-minded talk anymore, and I wanted to hear Lian Ruohan and Xia Xiang's inferences about the Gongyuan incident, so I stayed again, but I still had to deliberately pretend to be careless, and among the few people, he became the most uncomfortable one.

Xia Xiang couldn't help but smile when he saw Cao Shujun's funny appearance: "Whether King Qing is invited by me, Cao Saburo knows best." ”

"Yes, yes, I know, I know." Cao Shujun took the paper from his mouth and said impatiently, "King Qing is indeed invited by Xia Langjun, and this person is Mr. Jin Jia." ”

"It turns out that Xia Langjun knows Mr. Jin Jia, no wonder ......" Lian Ruohan nodded slightly, and looked at the tall locust tree outside the window, the locust flowers were like snow, one after another, she didn't know what to remember, and smiled, "Mr. Jin Jia is a wonderful person, I remember that I had a relationship with him in Quanzhou, when he treated people, he used a strange prescription, and finally cured the patient, and recited it for a while." ”

Zhang Hou picked up the teacup and drank it all, his face puzzled: "Brother Xia, the third prince does not control the front division of the palace, who is Ye Dianshuai here and why?" Could it be ...... The Emperor's will? ”

"Ye Dianshuai is probably still here because of the three princes." Xia Xiang also speculated about the appearance of Ye Shisheng, the commander of the palace in front of the palace, the commander of the palace in charge of the forbidden army, responsible for the palace and the garrison of the capital, the position is extremely important, if it is not a person close to the emperor, he must not take on this important responsibility, "It's just that although he is entrusted by the three princes, he is only doing things that are loyal to the king, not serving the three princes." ”

The third prince is desperate to take power, and he will not envelop Ye Shisheng now, not to mention that Ye Shisheng is upright, but the emperor does not know the prince, although the emperor is seriously ill, but he is not critically ill, no matter which minister the third prince has a good relationship with in the court, and no matter which ministers are attached to the third prince, it doesn't matter, the prince and minister have no military power, and once the third prince's hand touches the forbidden army, there is a suspicion of rebellion.

The emperor will never allow anyone to rebel and usurp the throne, and he will not do this as a person of the three princes, not only will he be truthful, but if the emperor is suspicious, it will be a catastrophe. Moreover, there are still several princes eyeing each other, and Xia Xiang speculated that Ye Shisheng was only entrusted by the three princes.

Lian Ruohan nodded again and again: "What Xia Langjun said is extremely true, Ye Shisheng was most likely moved by the so-called righteousness of the third prince, and came to the Tribute Court to protect Wen Shangshu and others, and in terms of his duties, it is not exceeded." It's just that he offended King Jian and King Qing because of this, and the three princes made Ye Shisheng dislike King and King Qing without much effort, and if Ye Shisheng wanted to gain a foothold in the court in the future, he had no choice but to fall to the three princes. ”

"The third prince is brilliant, he is really talented." Zhang Hou sighed sincerely, with a yearning look on his face, "If you have the opportunity to vote under the door of the third prince, you should be a big white." ”

"Second brother, how can you do this?" Shi Er's eyes widened, "The third prince and Hou Pingpan took advantage of the emperor's serious illness to control the government, tilt the power of the government and the opposition, exclude dissidents, and bring disaster to the country and the people. Aren't you the most averse to people in your life? ”

"Shi'er, what do you know? It can't be said that the three princes have great talents and strategies, and if he succeeds to the throne, Great Xia will definitely be even more prosperous. Although there are many voices of opposition, it is just a difference in political opinions, and it cannot be said that the prime minister is a traitor. On the contrary, some people, because their talent is slightly inferior to Hou Xiang, and they are far less talented than Hou Xiang, and they are not as far-sighted as Hou Xiang, so they criticize Hou Xiang, but they are just jealous of their ability. The so-called gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative, when did the prime minister say anything to these people? ”

"I didn't say anything, just degraded him from Beijing and exiled him to Lingnan and Hainan." Xia Xiang smiled indifferently, and did not dare to agree with Zhang Hou's high theory, how Hou Pingpan is a person, the government and the opposition have long been decided, how many righteous and upspoken people have been dismissed or demoted, and all opponents have been expelled from the court, which shows Hou Pingpan's mind, and Hou Pingpan's reforms, on the way to Beijing, what he saw and heard along the way, are the scenes of people being displaced and selling their children and daughters, and the peaceful and prosperous era of Great Xia has been devastated by Hou Pingpan's changes.

"Brother Xia, if someone is a vegetarian and unworthy of morality, the dismissal or demotion of officials is also for the sake of the emperor and the people, and you can't blindly think that the candidate is to exclude dissidents. If it is the other way around, if someone has a disagreement with the prime minister, but he is in power and rejects the prime minister, is it also jealous? Zhang Hou smiled calmly and talked eloquently, "The Tao is not the same, this is one of them." Second, no matter what the final result is, as long as the original intention is for the country and the people, even if you take a detour and kill countless people by mistake, it is worth it. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs...... In front of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, in the eyes of the saints, the people are no different from the grassy dogs, and they are treated equally. ”

"What Zhang Langjun means is that even if the flood is monstrous, as long as you think that what you are doing is for the country and the people, and it is right, you will not hesitate to land countless heads?" Lian Ruohan felt a pang in his heart, Zhang Hou is a stubborn person, quite talented, and ruthless, if he is in power, it will be a big disaster, thinking of his act of hanging inscription in Taipingju, a thought suddenly flashed in her heart - if possible, it is the best policy to strangle Zhang Hou before he rises.

"Haha, I'm striding forward, just staring at the avenue ahead, who cares about the ants under my feet?" Zhang Hou looked up to the sky and laughed, pushed the door out, "Farewell!" I'm going to visit an old man, and tomorrow the yellow list will be released, and when the dust settles, the winner will be known. ”

Shi Er hesitated for a moment, smiled helplessly at Xia Xiang and the others, and followed Zhang Hou.

Shen Bao shook his head and sighed: "Brother Zhang and I are drifting apart...... Brother Xia, why don't you persuade Brother Zhang? ”

Lian Ruohan said: "Xia Langjun, if Zhang Langjun is the prime minister, he will be more unscrupulous than Hou Pingpan, you and Shen Langjun can join forces to strangle his career." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Bao was shocked, and he didn't know the general and looked at Lian Ruohan a few times: "Although Lian Xiaoniang is a woman, she is like a person in the court, could it be that someone in the family is an official in the court?" ”

Lian Ruohan smiled, didn't answer Shen Bao's words, turned to Cao Shujun and said, "Cao Sanlang, is there anything you want me to see?" ”

Cao Shujun was seen through by Lian Ruohan, and he couldn't hold it anymore, he took out the jade Lianhuan and Ruo'er, solemnly put them on the table, wrapped them in yellow silk, and pushed them in front of Lian Ruohan: "These two things are carefully made by me, and the little lady Bolian just smiled." There is only one small request below, be sure to choose one of the two even the little lady. ”

Lian Ruohan smiled lightly, beautiful and pure, like a clear lotus out of water, her jade wrist flipped, she took the jade chain in her hand, only glanced at it, and showed surprise: "Hey, ingenious." ”

Cao Shujun's heart suddenly mentioned in his throat, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, even the little lady couldn't put it down for Jade Lianhuan, could it be that she still liked Jade Lianhuan the most? In his opinion, whether the little lady likes Jade Lianhuan or Ruoer is the same as whether she likes him or Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang already has a sister, and even the little lady belongs to him, wouldn't he have the best of both worlds?

In fact, Cao Shujun didn't think much about it, he was scolded by Lian Ruohan, and he didn't dare to say how weak he was. Although the status of women in Daxia is much higher than before, women are women after all and cannot be above men. He has no manhood in front of Lian Ruohan, even if he really marries Lian Ruohan as his wife, he will be weak for Ganggang, and he will only have the fate of being oppressed and bullied.

Shen Bao also saw what Cao Shujun was thinking, and shook his head secretly, he was a bystander, with Lian Ruohan's strong personality and clever strategizing, Cao Shujun was far from being her good match.

Lian Ruohan played with the jade chain for a long time, and only glanced at Ruoer a few times from beginning to end, but did not hold it in her hand, her eyes flowed, and she smiled at Cao Shujun: "Is Cao Sanlang going to do a business with me?" ”

Cao Shujun was overjoyed: "Even the little lady, the good times are often famous in the commercial house, although there are beautiful jade cards, gold cards and silver cards, but it is only a proof of the identity of the distinguished guest, if the owner of the branch of the commercial bank meets, only by letter as evidence, it is easy to fake, and then there is an emblem, which can be used as a verification of identity, I don't know if even the little lady can agree with the idea of the following?" ”

Lian Ruohan smiled and said nothing, picked up the jade chain and admired it a few times, then put it back, and gently swiped his hand over Ruoer. After a long time, she smiled: "Recently, there are a lot of talented people in the capital, not long ago there was a little lady for me to make a good time in the lacquerware, than the previous tea packaging is more exquisite and more lovely, I don't want to have Cao Saburo for the good time to make the emblem, good times often in the help of all the people who are interested, he will be thriving." ”

Xia Xiang just heard it, but didn't think about it deeply, and he couldn't have known that Xiao Jia, who he had never known about his whereabouts, was the little lady in Lian Ruohan's mouth who was a stone's throw away from him.

"The emblem made by Cao Saburo is exquisite, exquisite, and practical, and it is really a masterpiece." Lian Ruohan couldn't help but see Cao Shujun's joy and Xia Xiang remained silent, and couldn't help but smile secretly, "It's just that now the good times are expanding too fast, and there are problems with capital turnover. ”

"This, this ......" Cao Shujun was anxious, seeing that even the little lady fell in love with his jade chain, but said that he couldn't afford it, he almost opened his mouth to say that he could make it for free without charging any fees, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Xia Xiang's eyes.

Xia Xiang knew that Lian Ruohan deliberately said this, he wanted to force him to speak, such a smart woman, he had to smile, and said in front of Cao Shujun: "If it is said that there is a problem with the capital turnover of Haojing, I am afraid that no one will believe it." But since even the little lady is willing to change the way of cooperation, Cao Saburo and I have no objection. The production of the emblem can be made without any charge......"
