Chapter Twenty-Eight: King Rui
A month's money is more difficult than a good errand, and she knows what a favor is and how to choose.
The guests of the Shen Mansion are like a stream of traffic, Ning Zhiyuan has the emperor's will, and others dare not disturb, but Ning Chaoge's eyeliner planted on Ning Zhiyuan's mansion is to report that Ning Zhiyuan is also a silk bamboo sheng song and dance all day long, Ning Chaoge is angry, and he punishes two subordinates in a row to see who is not pleasing to the eye, and the emperor inevitably knows that their brothers are fighting under one roof, so the four brothers went out of the palace early and gave the mansion, but the king has to wait until everyone gets married, which is the rule left by the ancestors of Dahe, This time Ning Zhiyuan got married, the emperor would inevitably give him the title, and if Ning Zhiyuan took the opportunity to enter the court to share the emperor's worries, he didn't have the power to parry, but what made him a little relieved was that in Ning Cheng, who was not far from his mansion, Ning Cheng was also angry and fell a lot of things for a day.
Ning Zhiyuan was the first to go to marry Shen Fu, and Ning Zhiyuan and Shen Ke also met many times, the more Ning Chaoge thought about it, the more he felt that this was a play performed by Ning Zhiyuan and Shen Ke together, forcing himself and others to fall into his trap, and in the end, it was Ning Zhiyuan who benefited.
"Second Highness, the emperor is sitting in Ningyuan Palace at this time, and he is watching every move of several highnesses, it is not appropriate for His Royal Highness to be like this." It was Wu Yuande, a staff member in Ning Chaoge's mansion, who followed Ning Chaoge when he left the palace, and was a capable person found by the queen in some ways, and he could come up with some useful ideas for Ning Chaoge on weekdays, and Ning Chaoge also respected him very much.
"His Royal Highness just can't swallow this breath, Old Wu, do you have any way to let His Highness let out this evil breath!" Ning Chaoge stomped his feet and sighed unwillingly.
"Second Highness, even if you can't swallow this breath, you have to swallow it, with the current body of the Fourth Highness, it is impossible to enter the court to share the worries of the monarch, and the Second Highness doesn't need to be too anxious, the Fourth Highness must be on guard, but at this time, you can't forget that Your Highness is eyeing him, if he grabs the handle and sues His Highness in front of the emperor, it will be more than worth the loss." Wu Yuande is fifty-three years old, Ning Chaoge respectfully calls him Wu Lao, although he is old, but this Wu Lao's shrewdness is difficult to match with other staff members in Ning Chaoge's mansion, when something happens, Ning Chaoge will also be the first to discuss with him, this time there is such a thing, Ning Chaoge will naturally find him.
"Wu Lao's words are reasonable, the boss is the most important thing to watch out for at the moment, even if the fourth child has the intention of seizing the heir, it is too early to start, as long as His Royal Highness becomes the prince, what is the difficulty in treating him." Ning Chaoge felt that Wu Lao's words were reasonable, he only stared at Ning Zhiyuan in the past two days, but he forgot about his biggest enemy at the moment, thinking, he took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "The boss thinks that he has no last resort, and he only let Hu Zhengli ask for marriage. My father asked me to go to Yaozhou with Rao Su today to investigate a difficult case, Wu Lao, you are the right-hand man of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness plans to take you with him, you go and pack up, Rao Su should come later. ”
"Yes." Wu Lao arched his hand and took the order to retreat.
"Second Highness, the emperor just spoke, asking His Royal Highness to go to Aicheng to investigate the land invasion case of Li Guogong's distant relatives." When Wu Laofang left, one of the guards hurriedly ran over, and after a hurried salute, he leaned down and whispered in Ning Chaoge's ear.
Without waiting for the guard to straighten his waist, Ning Chaoge slapped the arm of the chair heavily and sneered. "Li Guogong's distant relative? It's really bold, my father has repeatedly ordered to prohibit Xungui from occupying the land for personal gain, and only the year before last did he take the title of Earl Yangming, this distant relative of Li Guogong has a few heads, dare to invade the land! The father actually sent the boss to deal with this case? ”
Li Guogong, that is the highest ranking of the princes and dukes in addition to the prince and the king, the first Li Guogong with the founding of the country together with the founding of the country and made great contributions, the emperor in order to reward his meritorious service in the second war, the title of the duke, now it has only been passed down for a generation, it is the heyday, at this juncture, the father sent the boss to Aicheng to deal with this case, what is the father thinking about the idea?
Ning Chaoge couldn't think of any results, so he had to send someone to urge Wu Lao to come, for this, Wu Lao thought very thoroughly, "Li Guogong is now on an errand in the capital command, his distant relative, it is impossible to have such courage, even if he has such courage without the support of the people of Li Guogong's Mansion, it is just a lie, this matter has a lot to do with Li Guogong's Mansion, what else can the saint say?" ”
"What else did Father say?" Ning Chaoge waved to the guards standing behind him and asked.
"The emperor only said that you must not bend the law for personal gain, and you must deal with it according to the law." The guard hurriedly leaned over and replied in a voice that was neither too big nor too small that Ning Chaoge and Wu Lao could hear.
"Elder Wu sees that his father's words are open-faced, or does he really have this plan?" Ning Chaoge was not sure whether this was true or false for a while, and raised his head and asked.
"The emperor has always allowed nobles to violate the law, and the emperor's determination to renovate the land can also be seen from the previous incident of Yang Mingbo's seizure, and this time the emperor's intention should be to take Li Guogong." Wu Lao was very respectful.
"In this way, my father gave the boss a difficult errand, Li Guogong was born in the army, and there are many people in the military department who support him, if the boss leads this line to the old Li Guogong, then he will offend those people in the command." Ning Chaoge laughed proudly, very satisfied with Wu Lao's inference, and even more satisfied with the emperor's arrangement.
"Second Highness, the case in Yaozhou is not easy to handle, otherwise the local keeper will not report to Dali Temple, the queen has already inquired with His Royal Highness, although this case in Yaozhou does not involve Xungui, but it is a headless case, which is very tricky." Ning Chaoge was very happy that the emperor sent Ning Cheng to Aichengda, and Wu Lao did not forget to remind Ning Chaoge of his current difficulties.
"Whoa." Ning Chaoge waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "My father only said that I should go to see and study, and the investigation of the case is naturally based on Rao Su, even if I can't find out, my father will not blame me, but if the boss doesn't handle it well, the royal history of those good things will have to make trouble." ”
"If His Royal Highness can solve the case in Yaozhou, he will be able to overshadow His Highness's name and be supported by the emperor's reward ministers. The emperor assigned court affairs to the two highnesses at the same time, and I thought he wanted to see who was more wise and intelligent among the two highnesses. While mentioning the benefits of Ning Chaoge's detection of the case, Wu Lao did not forget to mention what the situation would be if Ning Chaoge couldn't find out the case and let Ning Cheng come out.
Ning Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and then he slapped the armrest and got up with a full of ambition, "That's right, this time, His Royal Highness must impress his father." ”
"His Royal Highness will definitely be able to succeed immediately." Wu Lao praised quietly, and the guards on the side also echoed him, these words of praise Ning Chaoge were very useful, and he didn't drink the wine anymore and didn't get angry, but discussed the case with Wu Lao.
The emperor is a very direct person, when several princes moved out of the palace, he gave the mansion one by one, all because the princes were unable to hang up the plaque of the title of the king to make the name of the mansion, and the emperor was too lazy to bother with his brains, so he directly used the names of several princes to make the name of the mansion, Ning Zhiyuan's house name is Zhiyuan, Ning Chaoge's house name is Chaoge, Ning Chengyou's house name is Chengyou, and Ning Cheng's because there is only one word, the emperor added his year name Yuan on the side of the word Cheng, and called Chengyuan Mansion.
On the afternoon of this day, Ning Chaoge waited for Dali Temple Qing Rao Su with a happy face, and left the capital with him in a carriage, and in the early morning of the second day, Ning Cheng left the capital with the emperor's holy decree and went to Aicheng.
The two princes who fought each other left Beijing one after another, which was a great joy for the three princes, and early the next morning, he went to the palace to greet the emperor and the queen, and stayed in the palace for lunch. The emperor has already had a holy decree, in order to let Ning Zhiyuan recuperate, others cannot wait to harass him, and Ning Zhiyuan has always ignored the government, so most of the time Zhiyuan Mansion is deserted and no one visits. But in the two days after the holy decree was issued, some royal relatives and nobles still arrived at Zhiyuan Mansion in the name of visiting, and Ning Zhiyuan closed the door for a day on the grounds of illness at first, but later opened the mansion, but that is, he received a few people in the morning, and he still did not see guests in the afternoon.
is so arrogant, but the exception did not attract those nobles to say, that is, someone said in front of the emperor, the emperor was too lazy to pay attention, on the second day of the holy decree, the emperor asked the people of Qin Tianjian to measure a few auspicious days, and after he passed the eye, he set one of them - the eighth day of the first month of November.
Now it is October 16, there is still more than half a month to calculate, with this speed, Lu Xiangxue's movements have also slowed down, and the people who go to Shen Mansion to congratulate are not in a hurry to come to four or five a day as if they have calculated the days, but the Zhiyuan Mansion, which has been closed all the time, has opened the door with great fanfare these days, and the emperor has allocated a sum of money specifically for repairing the Zhiyuan Mansion, the Ministry of Household has allocated funds, and the Ministry of Industry has sent people, and the Zhiyuan Mansion has been renovated in two days, as if it was newly built. The wedding of the four princes, this is the first of several princes to get married, of course, it is to be grand, Yang Mei, the head of the household, guessed the emperor's meaning, and sent his right-hand man to personally purchase a batch of red satin from the south of the Yangtze River, only planning to wait until the time is approaching to let the Zhiyuan Mansion put up the lights.
Ning Zhiyuan wants to get married, according to the rules of the ancestors, it is time to play the title, the emperor this time is a big mention of the water near the pool, and he took Ning Zhiyuan's number Qi Rui in a wise word, named it the Rui King, after the emperor's big stroke, the Ministry of Industry immediately got this emperor's imperial pen and ink treasure, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu immediately found a skilled craftsman, carved into a plaque according to the ink treasure, three days later, it will be used as the golden silk nanmu as the material, and the gilt corner of the plaque was sent to Zhiyuan Mansion to replace the plaque that had been hung for five or six years.
