Chapter 204: A Looming Crisis
Ning Shangmo smiled faintly when he heard this: "This matter will be handed over to you, after all, you know how to deal with civil and military officials better than me, and you know how to deal with them." ”
"It's because I know them that I know how hard it is. The emperor is clearly throwing the hot potato to us and coming up with a plan to get rid of the golden cicada. And we can't say anything, if we have the ability, we can settle those stubborn old ministers, if we don't have the ability, then we can only admit that we are unlucky, the emperor has already given us grace anyway. Ming couldn't help but sigh softly: "The emperor is the emperor, and as soon as he makes a move, it is a big move." ”
"I don't care about this, anyway, this matter will be left to you and Leng Qingrong. I have to be busy with the things I remember, and I can't afford to be distracted, so we have a reasonable division of labor. If you don't care......"
Before Ning Shangmo's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ming Qingyan.
"Xiao Yunzi's matter, how can we not care about it? Don't worry, you will definitely find a way, by the way, is it Ning Ji who has an accident? Ming Qingyan asked worriedly.
"It's a bit of a hassle, but I'll take care of it myself." Ning Shang Moyun replied lightly.
She felt that Yun Yishu's problem was also more tricky, and it was imminent, and soon those stubborn ministers would get the news, and they would definitely propose this matter in the court at that time.
Therefore, it is not easy for them to say lightly. Ning Ji's affairs don't need them to interfere, she can solve it herself. This move is to destroy her industry and hit her economically.
Treating money as dung, she really doesn't care, Ning Ji was forced to close the door, the only thing she couldn't accept was the disappearance of Ning Ji's golden signboard.
This is what the Ning family has poured out with blood and sweat for several generations, and it can't be destroyed in her hands.
However, she didn't believe her words, knowing her character, the more she behaved lightly, the more it showed that she had something in her heart.
"I want you to tell me that I can come up with ideas even if I can't help." Ming Qingyan replied with great concern.
"I'll take care of it myself, so don't worry about it, just help Xiao Yunzi settle things. She likes to do fast catches, and it is best to let her continue to work in the slamming of the door, as a daughter. Ning Shangmo said aloud.
Ming Qingyan seemed to smile confidently: "Don't worry, I can definitely solve her matter." I wonder what happened to Ning Ji......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ning Shangmo interrupted very resolutely, "When you know, you will naturally know." ”
After speaking, she urged the coachman to hurry up and catch the car, leaving Ming Qingyan far behind.
Ming shook his head helplessly, he guessed that something must have happened to Ning Ji.
So, he told the coachman to turn the head of the car and rush to the yamen.
"Xiangye, where are we going?" Mingyu asked puzzled.
Ming glanced at him with displeasure in his eyes.
Mingyu knew that he was blamed for talking too much, so he immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Soon, the carriage came to the Yamen of the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
He asked Mingyu and the others to wait outside, and he went straight in to find Leng Qingrong.
Leng Qingrong and Yun Yishu were concentrating on the file on the table, and Ming's heart sank suddenly, knowing that his guess was right, Ning Ji must have had an accident.
Then he asked out loud, "Isn't it serious?" ”
Leng Qingrong and Yun Yishu were both immersed in their own thoughts, no one heard him come in, and when they heard this sentence coldly, they were both startled, and they raised their heads almost at the same time.
Seeing that it was him, they all nodded with heavy faces, not very serious but very serious.
Seeing worse in their eyes, Ming lightly said that he did not ask any more questions, but sat down at the table and looked through the files.
The more I look at it, the more my heart sinks, and the shops of Ning Kee have suffered heavy blows, which is clearly trying to smash the Ning Kee signboard, and there will never be a day to turn over.
Who would have such a great hatred for the Ning family?
Since Ning Shangmo took over Ning Ji's business, it can be said that he has done a good job. On the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Kee restaurants will set up porridge sheds on the street to give alms, and each shop in Ning Kee adopts the strategy of small profits and quick turnover, and the price of the goods is fair. Popular.
If it is said that his peers are jealous, he wants to bring down Ning Ji. But this time, Ning Ji's hard-hit shop can be said to involve all walks of life, and it is impossible for them to be so neat. Besides, Ning Ji is the eldest princess of Da Ling, the wife of the prime minister, with such a background, even if he gives them a hundred heads, he will not dare to be so ruthless.
Then there is only one person!
"Who do you think is behind this?" Ming asked softly.
"Who else? It must be Tuoba Yanling, her disguise was stabbed, and she must be annoyed and angry to do such a despicable act. Yun Yishu replied resentfully.
"And I think that from the beginning when she was planning to impersonate, she was prepared. At that time, although she was in Xiliang, she sent a lot of spies to my Daling Imperial City, sneaked into various shops in Ning Ji, and waited for the master's orders. If Tuoba Yanling's identity is successfully replaced and she returns to the imperial city, then they will be her right-hand men, clearing the way for her to hold Ning Ji firmly. If they don't succeed, then they are a sharp sword, and Ning Ji will be poked with thousands of holes, and there is no power to turn over. Leng Qingrong also said his analysis.
After hearing this, Ming Qingyan felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but nodded, "This matter is also very tricky." Tuoba Yanling escaped, but I am afraid that he has come to my Daling Imperial City. ”
"That's a big deal." When Yun Yishu heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "She now has a face that is almost fake and real to Mo'er, and her voice and body are very similar to imitation. Even if you are with me, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake for a while. If she enters the palace......"
In the end, Yun Yishu was frightened by his words, and the consequences were absolutely unimaginable. The emperor and the queen mother and Yun Guifei have always had no taboos against Mo'er, Tuoba Yanling, who pretended to be Ning Shangmo, had lived in the palace, so he was naturally familiar with the environment inside, coupled with the closeness to the royal family, it was easy to assassinate anyone.
"Mo'er must be notified of this situation immediately." Leng Qingrong heard this, and his face couldn't help showing panic, things are getting worse and worse, and they are getting more and more serious, and the safety of the royal family has been involved. Moreover, Beimeng and Xiliang are likely to join forces to attack Daling, if Tuoba Yanling attacks the palace in this Daling Imperial City, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.
"Xiangye, when you enter the palace, can you tell the emperor about this?"
Ming shook his head when he heard this, "I just talked about the journey of the envoy to Xiliang, and there was also the matter of Xiaoyun's children dressing up as men, and Mo'er asked the emperor for grace." The emperor promised that if the ministers of the court and China had no objections, he would not pursue them. Maybe Mo'er didn't take into account the seriousness of Ning Ji's robbery, just let me and you deal with Xiao Yunzi's affairs, and don't interfere in Ning Ji's affairs. If I hadn't been here, I wouldn't know what had happened to Ning Ji. ”
Yun Yishu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "What's important about my business, it's my own business." However, if Ning Ji was robbed by Tuoba Yanling, what was at stake was the safety of the royal family, and the safety of Daling Country was not trivial. ”
"That's true, Xiangye, let's talk to Mo'er about Ning Ji together. This is not only a matter of the Ning family, but also a national event related to the safety of Da Ling. Leng Qingrong also made a solemn proposal.
Ming Qingyan felt that what they said made sense, and nodded in response: "Okay, let's go back and discuss with Mo'er." ”
So, everyone didn't dare to delay and immediately got up and went out.
"Mingyu, you go and invite Mo Bai and his wife to Ning Mansion to discuss something." Ming commanded softly.
Mingyu promised to leave.
Only then did Ming say lightly: "Go back to Ning Mansion." ”
Back in Ning's Mansion, Mo Bai and his wife had already arrived and were talking to Ning Shangmo.
Seeing them come back, Ning Shangmo's face was a little unsightly, and she asked Xiang Ming lightly, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Ming Qingyan knew that she might have guessed the purpose of her gathering, and blamed him for being nosy. So he just smiled at her, didn't speak, just sat down on the chair and slowly tasted the good Longjing tea.
"You mean." Ning Shangmo was very unhappy when he saw him avoiding her question, and asked out loud again.
Ming Qingyan still didn't speak, just holding the celadon tea bowl, gently plucking the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl, and occasionally taking a sip.
His attitude of not knowing three questions and the gods not being able to do anything made Ning Shangmo even more angry.
Seeing that the two of them were in such a situation, Leng Qingrong and Yun Yishu glanced at each other, and said loudly: "Mo'er, Xiao Yunzi and I have already seen the files of Ning Ji's shops in the yamen that have been hit hard. And I know that the emperor only gave a month, and after a month, if Ning Ji does not give a reasonable answer, he will close the door forever and eliminate the signboard. ”
"So, how?" Ning Shangmo heard this, stared at him lightly and said: "Ning Ji's signboard has fallen, but it is just that there will be less money for this silver in the future, what's the big deal?" Anyway, I won't be short of money to spend, and Ning Fu won't be defeated because of this. And have you thought of a way to deal with those old ministers in the DPRK? That's related to Xiao Yunzi's net worth. ”
Yun Yishu was very moved when he heard this, and Ning Shangmo's first thought was her safety.
hurriedly said loudly: "Mo'er, since the emperor has given grace, I believe that at the critical moment, even if those old ministers will not let me go, the emperor will definitely come to the rescue." ”
Leng Qingrong nodded and agreed: "Yes, the emperor just gave himself a step down." After all, this is a big crime of bullying the king, if he doesn't care about it at all, he will naturally be unable to get over it in his heart, so he will want to embarrass us like this. However, Mo'er, the matter of Ning Ji is very important, and the crisis is imminent, so it can't be solved. ”
Ning Shangmo heard him say this and felt that it made sense.
She thought from the beginning that as long as the emperor pardoned Yun Yishu for his innocence, then even those old ministers would naturally have nothing to say if they were dissatisfied. It's just that Yun Yishu can't go to the yamen in the future, and the yamen is more strict in the selection of new officials for military service.
However, later she thought that it might be the emperor who took the opportunity to break the rule that women could not enter the yamen to do things, so that they would find a way to persuade those old ministers, which was also a good thing.
