Chapter 216: The Prince's Envoy
"Who?" Jiang Song snorted, but seeing that the shadow did not move at all, Jiang Song felt a very strong pressure around him, he wanted to take down the saber hanging on the wall, but at this time he was completely suppressed by this person's internal breath, and he couldn't even move.
Jiang Song had a thought in his heart, this person's cultivation is so terrifying, is it possible that I am going to die in the Township Trial Tribute Academy tonight? Or did the Five Princes and Princess Wenren send someone to kill me?
Just when a lot of thoughts arose in Jiang Song's heart, the pressure exerted on him by the other party was withdrawn, and at this time, the person had turned around, although the light in the room was very dim, but Jiang Song still took advantage of the faint moonlight to see that face clearly, and the horror in his heart was slightly relieved. Jiang Song hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I've seen Shangguan Gongzi." ”
The mysterious son who came to meet Ji Ning and others during the day, and also heard Ji Ning's "high theory", he was very calm about this matter, looked at Jiang Song with a smile, and asked: "Jiang Xuezheng, it's been a long time, the prince sent me here to ask you, how is the situation of the township test in Jinling City." ”
Jiang Song hurriedly replied: "Back to the words of the prince of Shangguan, in this township test, Xiaguan has come up with a few questions that can test whether the students' hearts can help the prince achieve great things, these questions are very obscure, and the lower officials will answer from the students among the people who meet the prince's request, select a few people to be at the top, and after the Luming banquet, show favor to them, and wait for the opportunity to let them serve the prince in the future, and they can play a role in the next year's meeting and palace examination." ”
"Well done." The person known as Shangguan Gongzi nodded in satisfaction, "But how can you impress Feng Xuanqing's old horseman so that he can follow your wishes and rank the few people you have selected at the top?" Aren't you afraid that he will become suspicious and report the matter to the Temple of Literature, and the matter will be exposed? ”
Jiang Song said: "Shangguan Gongzi rest assured, he will definitely not, although the old squire Feng is now idle and does not ask about court affairs, he only applies for a job in the Confucian Temple, and occasionally becomes the main exam, but he still has a good heart." Xia Guan heard that Feng Lao Lang was the best beauty in his life, and the prince also sent someone to inform Feng Lao Lang that he was about to take the main examination of Jinling Township with Xia Guan, so he asked people to buy more than a dozen singers and dancing girls in Jiangnan and sent them to his secret courtyard outside Jinling City. ”
Shangguan Gongzi's face suddenly became cold, and he said, "Although it is said that those who become big things are not informal, but you send them with beauty, is it too much?" Don't you take into account the feelings of those women? ”
Jiang Song thought that if he said this wonderful plan, he would make the envoy sent by the prince, Shangguan Gongzi, praise him, who knew that this Shangguan Gongzi actually scolded him, he was also a little annoyed in his heart, he thought to himself: "You Shangguan someone is something, but you are just a subordinate next to the prince, but you dare to speak disrespectfully to me, a four-grade admiral Xuezheng, that is, I don't care about you in the face of the prince." ”
Jiang Song said: "What the prince of the merchant hall reminds is that when he does things in the future, he will definitely be cautious and will not use this kind of financial tricks again." ”
In his opinion, the current prince is the same as the former prince, but he is for the sake of interests and future fame, devoting himself to the name of the prince and doing things for the prince, and he also realized that the current emperor is unlikely to depose the prince twice in a row, which will have an indelible impact on the foundation of the Great Yong Dynasty, so in his mind, the current prince will definitely become the Son of Heaven in the future, and it must be not wrong to become a close minister of the Son of Heaven.
"Okay, I hope you do what you say. I will stay in Jinling City for half a month, and I will not leave until after the Luming feast, and if the prince has any more orders, I will come to inform you. Shangguan Gongzi said.
"Uh...... Shangguan Gongzi, there are many defenses inside and outside the Gonggong Courtyard in this township, and there are organs and secret sentinels, you ...... "Jiang Song has always wondered why this Shangguan Gongzi can break in from the outside, it stands to reason that not even a fly can fly in this Gonggong Courtyard."
Shangguan Gongzi said with a cold and arrogant expression: "This little tribute court defense, in my opinion, is just a fiction, you don't have to think about anything else, just do things for the prince." ”】
The others were about to leave, and suddenly remembered something, and reminded, "Jiang Xuezheng, in this township examination, there is a student named Ji Ning, I heard that his talent is good, you remember some, see how his articles are, if his articles are not very in line with the needs of the prince, you can also leave him in the list of people first." ”
Jiang Song's face was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid this will be a little difficult, before the seal is opened, there is no way to know who the article belongs to." ”
"Well, you're right, then I'll go back and investigate what his article is about, you just need to find his paper according to his article." After Shangguan Gongzi finished speaking, he didn't even say a word of farewell, and went directly, just when Jiang Song wanted to see how this Shangguan Gongzi left the Tribute Courtyard, he went to the door and found that there was no figure, and the Shangguan Gongzi was like a ghost, coming and going without a trace.
"How can you suddenly mention a candidate? Is the crown prince going to help this man gain fame, or is he ...... If it were him, things would not be easy, and the prince might blame me if he knew about it. But if I disobey him, with his cultivation, it will be too easy to kill me. Jiang Song was very embarrassed at this time, he didn't know whether he should follow the explanation of this Shangguan Gongzi and go to find the test paper of a candidate named Ji Ning.
……
……
The "Shangguan Gongzi" who left the Gongyuan was just a few light bodies, and it was already a few streets away from the Gongyuan, and it was late at night, and the streets were silent and unmanned.
After entering the house, there was a woman waiting anxiously inside, and when she saw that the "Shangguan Gongzi" had returned safely, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior sister is back?" How can things go well? ”
"Hmm."
Shangguan Gongzi took the basin handed over by the woman, washed his face first, there were some flour and special materials on his face, which covered up her appearance, which is also the reason why others can't notice that she is a woman, her disguise skills are a few points higher than ordinary women, and even the Adam's apple can be faked, even Ji Ning, who is hot-eyed, didn't realize that she was actually a woman after meeting her.
"The master urged." The woman next to her said, "The master once explained that after we help the prince complete this matter, we should first go back to the mountain gate to return to her old man's house, and we can no longer stay around Jinling City, so as not to be noticed that we are secretly helping the prince to achieve great things." ”
"Shangguan Gongzi" said: "You go back to the master first, I still have to stay in Jinling City, there are some things that have not been done, and after I am done, I will go back to the mountain gate, don't worry about the master!" ”
