If you want to marry your daughter to the Nan family, you have to see if God allows it.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his wife are really here, if they come one day late, today next year will be the death day of the eighth sister.

It was also the mother and daughter of the Ouyang family who didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Chu to come, and wanted to catch the Nan family off guard, and waited until they found out that the bride had changed, and the raw rice had already been cooked.

Jiang Ziyan raised her face from the teacup and said, "Eighth sister looks like this, won't the son of the Nan family dislike it?" Or is the son of the Nan family also disabled? ”

"That's not it," Jiang stretched his neck and whispered to Jiang Ziyan: "A few years ago, the prince went to the south of the Yangtze River in the name of touring the mountains and rivers, and specially brought gifts to the Nan family, and told the Nan family about the situation of the eighth sister. ”

"Why didn't Uncle Huang ask a famous doctor to treat the eighth sister?" Jiang Ziyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the Jiang family with a smile, "Could it be that the emperor's uncle is not as good as the eighth sister of the future Nan family?" ”

"Brother and sister don't understand, the water spilled by the married girl." Jiang hurriedly defended and said, "The daughters of big families are all prepared for marriage. In the early years, the government invited many famous doctors to treat the eighth sister, and spent a lot of money, but it didn't work, and gradually became less attentive. Since the Nan family does not dislike the eighth sister, let the Nan family look for famous doctors. ”

Jiang Ziyan sneered, looking for famous doctors? I'm afraid that the medicine prescribed by a famous doctor was manipulated by Ouyang, right?

Naturally, he can't take care of other people's family affairs, even if he rescued Nangong Ruyu, he also felt that Nangong Ruyu's experience was somewhat similar to his own.

Not to mention anything else, it is the most important thing to treat Nangong Ruyu's injuries first.

Jiang Ziyan was chatting with the Jiang family in the Shouwang Mansion, Nangong Hao took Xia Yang Ye Wen to the Thorn History Mansion early in the morning, and the Thorn Shi Cheng Qian naturally led his subordinates to greet him respectfully.

According to the usual practice, the assassin brought the past files and let the people brought by Nangong Hao consult them.

Checking the file is a cumbersome matter, the people brought by Ye Wen are all forbidden soldiers in the palace, if you say that you use knives and guns, it is not a problem, and if you look through the files, you will be dwarfed.

The public hall of the Assassin's Mansion was full of files, and Cheng Qian carefully answered Nangong Hao's question.

"In the eighth year of Qingyuan, the northern Xinjiang captured Jizhou, and a large number of people were plundered, can it be recorded in the dossier?" Nangong Hao asked casually.

Cheng Qian was careful all the way, staring at Nangong Hao with both eyes in order to observe his words.

"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there is a record." Cheng Qian wiped the sweat droplets from his forehead and replied cautiously: "Later, Grandpa Guo arrived with soldiers and horses to regain the lost territory, and the people of our Northern Jin Dynasty returned to their homes. ”

Haha, today's Princess Chu is the granddaughter of Grandpa Guo, His Royal Highness the King of Chu mentioned this case, didn't he want to re-ask Grandpa Guo for merit and reward?

"Come on, find out the file of the eighth year of Qingyuan." Cheng Qian greeted the archive who was waiting next to him.

The recorder hurriedly pulled out a stack of files and held them up.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please take a look."

Nangong Hao didn't answer, he took out a book, looked at it casually, and took out another one, and after a while, the file in the recorder's hand was finished by Nangong Hao.

seems to be looking through the pages, Nangong Hao has already finished reading the files found in the record, but he has not seen what he is looking for.

Nangong Hao's brows tightened, the ruthlessness in his eyes flashed, and after regaining his composure, he said lightly: "Back then, the imperial court issued pensions to those people who were plundered, so that they could live in peace after returning to the Northern Jin Dynasty, I don't know if there is a record?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Qian affirmed: "This is the merit of today's saints, can the lower officials not record it in detail?" ”

Is this to sing the praises of the saints of today?

"Come on, find out the file from that time." Cheng Qian was delighted.

If the current saint knew that he was so concerned about the affairs of the imperial court, would he add an official to the official?

The recorder quickly took out a stack of files and brought them to Nangong Hao.

Nangong Hao looked through them one by one, it seemed to be ten lines at a glance, only Nangong Hao himself knew, and not a word had fallen.

The documents are clearly recorded, the time, quantity, and number of people who received the imperial court's pension, and even the fingerprints of the recipients.

Isn't it Wang Laosi and others who slander the government for embezzling pensions?

Since my father has received the news, there must be something wrong here in Jizhou.

Nangong Hao remained silent, and said in a gentle tone: "After recovering the lost land back then, was the land distributed to the common people?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Qian waved his hand and motioned for the record to hurry up and find the file: "Quickly find out the file so that the prince can check it." ”

The clerk hurriedly retrieved the file.

When I opened the dossier, the ink was fragrant.

The recorder glanced at Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian's face was calm, and the corners of his eyes squinted.

The recorder opened the file and held it in front of Nangong Hao.

Nangong Hao looked at it casually, not as carefully as before.

With beads of sweat on his head, the reporter took the file and retreated to the side.

Cheng Qian sent a servant to deliver fragrant tea in a timely manner and sat aside with Nangong Hao.

"I heard that Cheng Assassin is the champion and first, I don't know what year Cheng Assassin is from?" Nangong Hao used the lid on the teacup to stab and scrape the foam in the teacup, while frowning at the cup of tea, which obviously had too many tea leaves.

"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Xia Guan is the last batch of students who entered the imperial examination during the reign of Emperor Taishang, and Emperor Tai appreciated it and nodded his name as the champion." Cheng Qian replied with sincere fear, "Later, he was reused by the current emperor and served in the Ministry of Officials, and in the ninth year of Qingyuan, he was sent to Jizhou to make a history of assassination, and he has been working here for more than ten years." ”

"Oh, so you know, King Fu's rebellion is also known to Cheng Shi?" Nangong Hao really couldn't stand the strong smell of tea, and put the tea cup on the table.

"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if you say anything else, the lower officials may not know, if you say that King Fu rebelled, the lower officials still know a little bit about it." Cheng Qian seemed to be stuck in a memory.

"At that time, Xia Guan had just won the champion and went home to save his family. King Fu got the news from somewhere, and invited the lower officials to King Fu's mansion as a guest. Cheng Qian saw Nangong Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was listening intently, so he raised his voice and said loudly:

"At that time, my mother was seriously ill and did not make it, and I regretted it. Later, I learned that King Fu and the 36 feudal officials or generals in charge of the military were actually rebelling in the name of wishing King Fu a birthday. ”

Cheng Qian picked up the thick tea and took a sip of it.

"King Fu raised an army, in order to compete with the Emperor Taishang for the world, opened the embankment to discharge the flood, resulting in the flooding of 32 counties and the disaster of more than 100,000 people. Later, King Fu's army was surrounded and suppressed by Grandpa Guo and Lord Shoufu with troops, and finally died at the hands of Grandpa Guo, and King Fu's matter came to an end. ”

Although many years have passed, Cheng Qian still has palpitations when he mentions it, and he lies down in cold sweat on his forehead.

Xia Guan thanked his mother for saving his life. If it weren't for his mother's serious illness, Xia Guan would be one of the thirty-six rebels, and I am afraid that our entire family and nine clans would be implicated because of Xia Guan. ”

At that time, because of King Fu's rebellion, in order to defeat the officers and soldiers who went to encircle and suppress, King Fu ordered to open the sluice gates in the upper reaches of the Ling River to discharge the flood, resulting in the flooding of 32 counties in the lower reaches of the Ling River.

At that time, there were also Wulu feudal officials who rose up with King Fu, and they were also wiped out by the army of the imperial court, and King Fu's rebellion came to an end.

After the fall of King Fu's army, Emperor Taishang abdicated, and Emperor Qingyuan took office.

These things are also what Nangong Hao occasionally saw in the library in the palace.

At that time, King Fu invited all the famous generals and feudal officials from all over the country, like Cheng Qian, a small champion, who had neither fame nor family background, even the most basic money and food, Cheng Qian, who was born in cloth, must not be able to take it out, how could King Fu see it.

If Cheng Qian wants to elevate his identity, there is no need to be connected with King Fu. Moreover, only a very few people knew about King Fu's contact with the 36-way soldiers and horses to rebel, and on the surface, the 5-way rebel soldiers and horses were punished. There was no action in secret, and even now, the court has not found out who the participants are.

After all, King Fu has been planted, even the people who are involved with King Fu have also been connected to the nine clans, if King Fu hadn't really invited Cheng Qian, how would Cheng Qian know these inside stories?

"Oh, the difficult Cheng Thorn history has not been connected. Otherwise, the court would have lost a loyal minister. "Nangong Hao and Jiang Ziyan have been together for a long time, and they are not stingy when they praise people.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Chu, for the compliment." Cheng Qian was a little proud, and couldn't help but raise his voice a lot, "The lower officials were worried at home, and when they heard that King Fu rebelled, they took the initiative to hand over King Fu's letter to the lower officials to the imperial court, so as not to be implicated. ”

Although the assassin is only a third-grade official, compared to the central officials, it is really nothing, you are in charge of one party, except for the prince of the fief, the assassin is the emperor, and he holds the power of life and death of the people.

Nangong Hao's cold eyes flashed with a hint of warmth, and he slowly spoke, saying: "As the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, and Cheng Tingshi is worthy of being a scholar who reads sages and books, and is a model for students in the world. ”

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Chu." Cheng Qian stood up and saluted Nangong Hao, and said: "The great thing in the world is not the king's land, and the lower officials are only loyal to the imperial court." ”

Haha, just now I was quite sorry that I didn't go to the invitation of King Caifu, and in the blink of an eye, I was only loyal to the court.

Nangong Hao didn't care, saw that it was not early, stood up, and said: "That's it here today, it's not early, Cheng Tingshi still has to deal with official documents, so this king won't bother." ”

Standing up and walking out, Ye Wen and Xia Yang put down the file in their hands.

The Imperial Guards also put down their files and surrounded them.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu stays." Cheng Qian stopped Nangong Hao and said, "Xiaguan has prepared lunch for you, and I hope His Royal Highness the King of Chu will enjoy it." ”

Nangong Hao thought for a moment and said, "The guest is as he pleases, and he will follow the history of assassination." ”

It is a great honor to dine with His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Cheng Jianshi led everyone to the second hall.

said that it was the second hall, but it was actually the inner hall for interrogating the prisoners, and when it came to Cheng Tingshi, it was changed to a place to have dinner with all the staff officials of the Assassin's Mansion.

The second hall is located behind the lobby, and the shadow wall is blocked, and those who don't know think it's the living room of the Assassin's Mansion.

On the banquet, Nangong Hao and Ye Wen Xiayang did not drink, but simply ate the meal and got up to say goodbye.

When he arrived outside the Assassin's Mansion, Nangong Hao turned around and said, "I didn't see a maid-in-law in the mansion, could it be that Cheng Assassin's family members didn't come here?" ”
