Chapter 530: Clues
When the officials saw these things, they were even more convinced.
These pieces are all treasures that can shock the world, and he alone has mastered everything, just ask, such ability, such treatment, who else can be qualified for this lord of the Holy Mart country now besides him?
The old minister who had assisted the three generations of lords of the Kingdom of Saint-Mar thought so, and did so.
"Congratulations to the king, this treasure, the glory of the kingdom of St. Ma, and the king's country will be eternal for thousands of years!" The old minister stood in front and bowed to Rong Yan.
Seeing this, all the officials naturally followed suit, and bowed to Rong Yan together with the words of the old minister.
Their thoughts are the same as those of Lao Chen.
During this period of time, Rong Yan rectified the whole country of Shengma, and turned the original miasma of court politics to political clarity, and they thought that Rong Yan should be their king of Shengma from the bottom of their hearts. But Rong Yan just didn't admit it, and only said that he was the temporary monarch of Linshui to rectify the Shengma Kingdom, and at most he could only be called the regent.
is so unambitious, but has such ability, which makes many people want to directly put him on the throne of king. Now that they say this, ordinary people will respond, Rong Yan should respond, and they will not be able to change it in the future. In this situation, can Rong Yan refuse?
What they want is to let Rong Yan sit in the position of the king along the river, so that they, as officials, can continue to do it with peace of mind.
But they didn't expect that Rong Yan was not an ordinary person, and when he heard their words, he didn't say it explicitly, but just said lightly, "I'm afraid that you are familiar with this set of rhetoric, and you don't know how to change it, where is there a king here?" Get up, don't forget about it in the future. ”
When the officials heard Rong Yan's words, they knew that Rong Yan had rejected them, and by the way, they also warned them not to do this in the future, and everyone didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, the old minister also knew that he couldn't come hard in the future, so he said, "It's because the old minister is old, and it is inevitable that he will be confused, the regent is working hard, and the old minister loves it in his heart, so he can't help but say what he thinks in his heart. ”
Rong Yan didn't know what Lao Chen had in mind, but he didn't reply positively, and said lightly, "Get up." ”
When the old minister heard this, he had no choice but to get up slowly, and everyone followed suit, and everything returned to the appearance of the beginning of the state banquet.
Soon, Rong Yan's long-planned first imperial examination will come.
Rong Yan was busy with political affairs, Zhao Yunling felt sorry for him, and naturally helped him deal with it together, which made Yi and Rong Rong no longer have to study with the master all the time, and when they had free time, the two of them found a day together to fly a kite in the palace.
Who knows, while the two were playing, they ran to the door of the Taiyi Pavilion, and a nasal smell of medicine hit the noses of the two, and the two reacted.
"It stinks, brother, let's go." Rong Rong pulled the sleeve of the easy person and was about to leave, but she didn't think that it was easy to "shhh" at Rong Rong as if she suddenly heard something, and then pulled Rong Rong to walk carefully towards the Taiyi Pavilion.
Rong Rong was curious, and looked inside, but saw that it was Song Jiang, the official they had seen in the imperial examination recently, and she felt a little strange. Daddy is busy with the imperial examination, why is the official in the Taiyi Hall?
On the other side, Song Jiang didn't notice the existence of Yi and Rong Rong, coughed twice in a fake manner, and glanced out vigilantly before saying to the imperial doctor, "I've been feeling a little unwell recently, it's an old problem, I've been busy with the imperial examination recently, and I can't get out of the palace, so I have to ask the imperial doctor to help me grab some medicine." ”
The Imperial Doctor nodded, "It's natural, but I don't know what medicine you want to grab?" ”
Song Jiang carefully took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the imperial doctor, "You go to the mouth of the third alley outside the palace and turn right, there is a Jiadefu Medical Center inside, I know the doctors there well, you give them the paper, they naturally know what medicine to grab." ”
The Imperial Physician asked with some puzzlement, "The medicine in the Imperial Hospital is not better than those small medical halls outside the palace that are not famous, why don't you just grab the medicine in the Imperial Physician Pavilion?" ”
Song Jiangyou coughed twice, his eyes unconsciously glanced up, and said vaguely, "I have been grabbing medicine in that medical hall for so many years, and I am used to it, you just need to help me deliver the note, just grab the medicine for me, it must be Defu Medical Center, thank you." ”
Seeing that Song Jiang didn't mean to say it in detail, the imperial doctor naturally didn't ask more uninterestingly, but just put the note away, saying that he would definitely help Song Jiang bring it, and Song Jiang left after receiving a positive answer.
It was easy to listen to it, but it was strange in his heart, he was smart since he was a child, and he could see that Song Jiang must have something unspeakable, and it was difficult to say in detail that he would shirk the imperial doctor's inquiry like that.
It's just that I don't know that Song Jiang clearly wants the imperial doctor to help him catch the medicine, but he values the note so much, and emphasizes it with the imperial doctor a few times. Song Jiang said that he was familiar with the doctors of Defu Medical Center, so why did he care so much about that note, just let the imperial doctor bring a sentence, and it would not be good if there was no note.
However, the strangest thing is why Song Jiang didn't catch the medicine from the Tai Hospital, and he had to ask the Tai Doctor to go to the medical hall outside the palace to grab the medicine, and emphasized that it must be the Defu Medical Center.
After hearing this, he knew that something was wrong, and he stayed for a short time, and soon left with Rong Rong, and no one noticed them.
When he returned to the dormitory, he left Rong Rong and went to find Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling by himself.
Seeing that it was easy for Zhao Yunling and the others to be a little puzzled, but when they saw that it was easy to let the two of them sit together with a solemn face, this kind of doubt deepened after they wanted to talk to them about an important matter.
Subsequently, Yi whispered to Zhao Yunling what he had seen in the Tai Hospital before, and also expressed his doubts and opinions.
Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling also sensed the clues, which were both strange and happy at the same time.
"Easy, you did the right thing in this matter, you may have done your father and mother a great favor, but you must keep this matter secret and don't tell anyone, okay?" Zhao Yunling touched Yi Yi's head and said to him seriously.
It was easy to listen to Zhao Yunling's words, nodded heavily, and left quickly, leaving Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan looking at each other, and both sides could see the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"I really didn't expect that this was the first time I proposed the imperial examination, and there was a question maker for me to make a moth at this time." Rong Yan pursed his lips and said.
"Where there are interests, there will always be people who want to take advantage of loopholes, and this kind of thing is not the first time I have seen it, so it is better to be careful in the future." Zhao Yunling looked at Rong Yan and said.
Rong Yan was concerned about this matter.
After all, the imperial examination is a big move to select talents and change blood for the imperial court, if it is done well, the whole country of Shengma can be changed with a new look, if it is not done well, let others install too many people who should not be officials in the court, then this Shengma country will only soon become an empty shell.
Soon, Rong Yan ordered Yueqing to keep an eye on that Song Jiang and make sure that Song Jiang didn't make any suspicious moves.
On the other hand, Zhao Yunling also ordered someone to check the Defu Medical Center that was easy to hear Song Jiang said, and also went to check the medical halls around the palace, but after half a day, he got a reply.
"That Lord Song Jiang is indeed sick, but it is not a serious illness, and the one he goes to most often is indeed the Defu Medical Center, and he has also been to other medical centers, but he does not go often. However, Defu Medical Center is not the best doctor in the medical halls around the palace, and the price of medicine is not cheap. ”
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan both heard it, and the two glanced at each other, feeling more and more that there must be something between Song Jiang and this Defu Medical Center.
A questioner who is sick but does not want to be treated in the Taiyi Pavilion, and a medical hall that does not look like a medical hall, now that the imperial examination is imminent, everything must be careful.
After all, this is the first time, if there is really any situation and they succeed, then who will be convinced of the fairness of the imperial examination in the future? Everyone will only think that this is a springboard specially prepared for the children of aristocratic families to become officials, and how many people in the world are willing to study hard? How many children from poor families will be willing to participate in the imperial examination?
This is by no means the situation that Rong Yan and the others want to see.
"If there is really a problem with this Song Jiang, then his paper will not be usable, but now that the imperial examination is imminent, he can't re-issue the question, and now the plan can only ensure that there is no problem with the other official Wen, so there is still a layer of protection."
Rong Yan nodded, "It's just that this Song Jiang's scroll can't be said to be useless, otherwise it will inevitably make people feel that this imperial examination is like child's play, and even the scroll can be replaced at any time, and the impact is not good." If this is the case, I will send someone to keep an eye on Master Wen first, and then send someone to collect evidence of Song Jiang's favoritism, if he really has a problem, I will take this opportunity to make an example of the monkey. ”
"That's safe." Zhao Yunling nodded.
Rong Yan sent someone to keep an eye on Lord Wen, and also made sure that Lord Wen did not contact Song Jiang or other suspicious people.
The time for the imperial examination was approaching, and the two examiners also found that the guards on the two of them were becoming stricter and stricter, especially Song Jiang.
Song Jiang is a thief, since he went to the Taiyi Pavilion that time, he always felt that he was not at ease enough, and he always felt that someone was secretly staring at him, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and since he took the medicine, he has been maintaining a synchronized routine with Lord Wen. Even in order not to make Rong Yan suspicious, he basically doesn't communicate with people much.
Now that there are ten days left before the imperial examination, the news that Rong Yan has received from his subordinates has always been that the two officials have nothing abnormal, and he has not been able to get evidence of Song Jiang's favoritism. This made him feel even more serious, but he didn't think that Song Jiang was really as good as he appeared on the surface, and there was really no problem.
The imperial examination is imminent, and everything is worthy of repeated suspicion and attention. The top priority is to get enough evidence to prove Song Jiang's innocence or favoritism.
Rong Yan frowned, and finally gave up the idea of directly summoning Song Jiang over for questioning, but only strengthened the supervision of Song Jiang, and also made the supervision more hidden.
