Chapter 234: Returning from Huaiyang City

After the parade was over, the top three all returned to Goshi's mansion, and then quickly got busy.

This time, the top three were tested by the emperor himself, which was naturally a little different from the past, and almost after the banquet, it was immediately compiled into the roster.

Here, Rong Qingqing Jiang Yun and the others were also busy, because they had promised Song Yumo to design a wedding dress for her, so they went to the Song Mansion again, and after determining some of Song Yumo's requirements, they went back to prepare the design drawings.

As a result, as soon as he came back from the Song Mansion, he received another decree from the queen's mother, this time it was a decree for marriage.

After Jiang Yun took over Yi's order, everyone joked that this time it was a sure thing.

Over there, Su Shaoan also received the order, and immediately sent a little servant to Lu Mansion to send a gift, which was a pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious gold bracelets, the meaning of which was naturally self-evident.

Because there will be two princes getting married next year, in order to avoid it, the time for the queen to give the marriage is the eighth day of October next year, and it is also a good day specially asked to be calculated by Si Tianjian.

Jiang Yun didn't care at all about getting married after a year, anyway, they were all in Kyoto, and they could meet at any time when they wanted to, and she didn't want to leave her master and sister so quickly.

The day after the wedding, Lu Chengyan finally followed the Cheng family's caravan back to Kyoto.

As soon as Lu Chengyan came back, he was shocked by the good news one after another, but before he could be happy, Rong gently picked up the envelope containing three million taels and stared at him with angry eyes.

Lu Chengyan looked at Rong Qing, who had an angry face, pulled him over, sat on his lap, and then looked at Rong and begged for mercy: "Didn't I see that it was getting dark, so I took a trip by the way?" ”

Rong gently grabbed the envelope, looked at Lu Chengyan and said: "Do you know how dangerous it is, the old fox may have raised a private soldier, the prime minister's mansion is impregnable, and the vigil does not know how many people are ambushed, what if you are accidentally caught?" You think the old fox is your father, and he sent you to see the official, he will arrest you directly, and you don't even have a chance to call for help. ”

Lu Chengyan had an expression of knowing that he was wrong, then took the envelope and put it aside, clasped his hands around Rong Qing's waist and said: "I am naturally ready for a foolproof plan, so there is no danger along the way, don't worry, I promise that I will never do such a dangerous thing in the future." ”

Rong Qing saw Lu Chengyan's pitiful appearance begging for mercy, and he couldn't say anything, just leaned on his shoulder and said, "I can't sleep well if I'm worried." ”

Lu Chengyan patted her on the back gently, and decided not to tell the fact that he had smashed a jade artifact, otherwise the little wife would not know what she was worried about.

"Why did you and Li'an go to Huaiyang City for so long this time?" Rong Xiao suddenly remembered, sat up straight, looked at Lu Chengyan and asked.

Lu Chengyan shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. ”

Rong Qing immediately asked, "What's the matter, the investigation didn't go well?" Someone is getting in the way? Or are the locals deliberately looking for trouble? ”

Lu Chengyan shook his head and said: "No, after we went to the place, we didn't start investigating immediately, but just like on the surface, we ran a few merchants a day, and we were talking about business normally." When talking about business, I occasionally talked about some local schools, but after running for a few days, I found that the reputation of the local Shengxue Museum gradually began to be inferior to the Songzhu Museum, and several of the more famous people in the Songzhu Museum were those who were born in Huaiyang City. ”

Rong frowned lightly and asked, "That means that these recommenders are all real, and these candidates don't have any problems?" They were just from the Shochiku Pavilion and embezzled together, right? ”

Lu Chengyan looked at Rong lightly and nodded helplessly.

Who would have thought that after going to Huaiyang City and investigating for so many days, it turned out that there was no problem with these recommenders, and there was no problem with those students, but this time a corruption was found to be from the same school.

If this continues, the roster given by Governor Yin can't find anything, so he and Li'an won't be able to get important information from Governor Yin.

"This time, it's like really going to talk about business, I have to say that Li'an has done a really good job in business, and has negotiated a few merchants." Lu Chengyan said.

Rong couldn't cry and laugh lightly, there was no eyebrow at all in this investigation, but the business was doing well.

"Now that the only clue is broken, how are you going to investigate this booklet, you can't run it everywhere, then it's too much of a waste of time, and even if it does, I don't think it will lead to any results, but it's just business as usual." Rong said softly.

Rong said softly, Lu Chengyan naturally knew that it was impossible for them to run everywhere, but now that all the clues are broken, you go to investigate, but it proves that the people are innocent, it is better not to run.

And all of this, all too normal, without the slightest problem.

All the officials are innocent and diligent in the imperial court, if it weren't for this border problem, many of these thirty-two officials would have slowly begun to be promoted.

Once these thirty-two officials are promoted, they belong to Song Yunfeng's lineage, which means that Song Yunfeng will slowly control more than half of the court's voice and influence, and he himself is the prime minister, and his power will become greater and greater at that time.

"These thirty-two officials are either innocent, but after entering the court, they fell under the command of the old fox." Lu Chengyan can only think of this one possibility at present, otherwise he can't explain it at all, because everyone has a clean family background.

"Zhu Yucheng should be regarded as the prime minister's person now, he is from Shangshantang, his family background is innocent, and he has been appointed by His Majesty as an official, and he has been incorporated into the Hanlin Academy like Su Shaoan." Rong said softly.

Lu Chengyan can only admit that this old fox of Song Yunfeng has the ability to win over people, whether it is Zhu Yucheng, or the thirty-two officials, and even many people who are not involved, they may all have a connection with the old fox to a greater or lesser extent.

"If the crown prince really succeeds to the throne, most of the people in the court are prime ministers, and it is estimated that it will be difficult." Lu Chengyan said.

Rong gently shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "You forgot, the prime minister is the third prince." "Therefore, the prime minister's idea at the beginning was not to let the prince have a good time.

Lu Chengyan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Whether it is the third prince or the crown prince, no matter who succeeds to the throne, the power of the prime minister is too great, and the officials in the court do not manage Daliang for the people in high positions, but for the prime minister, which will definitely cause turmoil." ”

People who have too much power, and even threaten a high position, will definitely be feared.

It's just that the prime minister hasn't gone that far yet, and he hasn't shown any fox tails, otherwise His Majesty the current emperor would have done him a long time ago.
