Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Ming's Loss
Early the next morning
After the early dynasty, Prime Minister An was left in the imperial study by the emperor, and Lin Yeyi withdrew from the palace with the ministers, listening to these idle and boring ministers talking about today's affairs along the way.
He could probably guess eight or nine of them......
"Lord Li, the competition between these two academies is in charge of Canglan Academy this year, and two places must be selected, although it seems to be just a competition between the two academies in the capital, but this place is not simple." Lin Ye glanced at the person who spoke quietly, it was very interesting between the two of them.
An Cheng was favored by the emperor after entering the dynasty at a considerable age, and under his own ability, he was on the rise, becoming the youngest prime minister of several dynasties. Probably because he was named among the two places reported by Tianjing Academy at that time, which was a rare opportunity. "The relationship between Master Li Chen and the outside seems to be much more harmonious.
It's like a camp.
"Then I wonder who Master Li thinks will be elected this year? I remember that Ling Lang's performance in the academy has always been good. Lin Ye was not far away and listened quietly.
At the beginning of the matter, he explained to him what he knew, but Tianjing only recommended one place back then, and An Ming was able to ascend to the position of prime minister at such a young age, and it was naturally not just such an opportunity, Prime Minister An Cheng, who was born in a poor family, did not like gang disputes in the court, but he has been alone for so many years, but a few old ministers in the court probably fell in love with such a talented man, and wanted to match the daughter of the house, but just like the current situation, there is even a saying among the people that Prime Minister An likes men.
But what should be more concerned should be that in the past few years...... Canglan has always overwhelmed Tianjing.
"Lord Chen is too modest, the second son in your house is such an amazing talent, and the dog is just a little clever."
Lin Yeyun was not interested in listening to the latter words, was the modesty of the two really modest, or was they tentative...... It has nothing to do with him, since the Yuan Lord didn't tell him to pay attention to the events of the two houses, he still concentrates on completing his task.
According to the identity of this state and county order, he stayed in the imperial court of the capital for a month, and the time left by the lord of Yuan was ...... Now there isn't much left.
Back then, the Tiandao Pavilion and King Jiang An were involved in the case, and the previous Yuan Lord handed over the position of Yuan Lord to the current master, and he had a long-cherished wish...... If it is possible to find out the rebellion of King Jiang An back then, his old man is the one who can fulfill his wish under Huangquan.
But he also knew that Lord Yuan didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, not to mention that the identity of the eldest son of the Fu family was enough to make the master's actions more rigorous.
So where should we start investigating this case more than 20 years ago......
Lin Ye was about to leave the palace, and a carriage was parked in front of the palace gate, his steps were consciously paused, wasn't the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion standing next to this car?
On weekdays, I don't see Prime Minister An sitting in the carriage outside the palace gate, and this housekeeper ...... Looks like they're waiting for someone else.
Lin Ye frowned slightly, the person in front of him was walking towards him, didn't he wait......
"Lin Gongzi, my prime minister has an invitation, please come and sit in the house for a while, the prime minister has something to tell you." This sounds fine, but Lin Ye didn't move at this time, and his face unconsciously revealed suspicious thoughts, but his answer didn't satisfy Prime Minister An last time.
But today...... He needed to meet the Lord of the Abyss.
"The prime minister said that if Lin Gongzi has something, he will not force it, but there is a sentence for the old man to ......tell him" The old man in front of him looked a little serious, and the atmosphere between the two was a little cold, "If Lin Gongzi can't do a good job in this state and county order, he, the prime minister, will also lose face." ”
Until the carriage left, Lin Yeyi, who was standing in place, had not fully recovered from the chuckle in his heart just now, and a chill spread all over his body, why did he feel a threat in his words......
The Yuankaku logo that I saw on the drawings last time...... As well as reminding him at the beginning about Prime Minister An Cheng's dealings with the Yuan Pavilion, it is inevitable to see the side of the Yuan Lord today.
In the Imperial Study
The silence in the room is as normal as usual, and the people in the seat and the people in front of the table have had a lot of identity changes in the past ten years, but the people on the seat are always the same as the son of heaven, and the people below are ...... It is the official of the six grades to the current rank.
But facing the person in front of him, An Ming's posture of saluting has never changed, but there is gradually something less in his eyes, less of the high-spirited spirit of his youth, and more calm and peaceful.
Mu Qisi sat quietly like this, as if he was waiting for the person in front of him to speak first, An Ming is a person who came out of Tianjing Academy, and this time he is talking about Canglan Academy, I don't know how many thoughts he will have.
He heard that Prime Minister An visited the dean of Tianjing Academy not long ago, and that meeting was not known to be a gift from teachers and students, or ...... A trip to trade.
An Ming collected his thoughts a little, and the carriage outside the palace gate probably didn't wait for the people to wait.
"Your Majesty, Canglan Academy has already handed in the list, and it seems that Tianjing Academy has not yet decided on a candidate, I wonder if there is an emperor who has already taken a fancy to this year's selection?" The question was a little abrupt, and the person in the seat seemed to glance at the person in front of him with a smile, and a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eye, as if he had seen through the mind of the person in front of him.
An Ming probably noticed that there was something wrong with his words, but there was not much change in his always cold expression, although he didn't dare to guess at will about the proportions in the emperor's heart, but some things were on the surface.
Mu Qisi looked at the list on the paper seriously at the moment, as if he was thinking about the person he was going to like, and his faint gaze swept over...... The eyes paused for a moment on a name, and the surname ...... Somewhat familiar.
An Ming took all the expressions of the people on the seat in his eyes, as a courtier, he should never say what to say, even if he didn't know much when he first entered the court these years, but these years he watched the old ministers clinging to each other, and the new ministers advancing and retreating, which requires too much understanding.
What the saint wants to say to him today is supposed to be something he should avoid, but the emperor has this intention...... Nature can't refuse.
When Mu Qisi flipped to the detailed description of the name, from the first few words he saw, his eyes were a little different, but he couldn't see anything with a faint expression. An Ming was not waiting for the emperor's reply, but waiting for the emperor to finish reading the news about the young man, this Jian family...... Quite a history.
"When did Canglan recruit the descendants of the Jian family and see this surname...... I'm also quite touched! There was a trace of sadness in his tone, and the somewhat sad eyes of the people on the seat slowly moved to his field of vision, and An Ming stood silently, the emperor was like this...... But Jane's family is a thing of the past.
However, this young man from the Jian family has only recently entered Canglan Academy, although he is also a student of Canglan, but this candidate for such an important place should not be placed in the ...... As if thinking of something at this moment, An Ming's eyes were a little dark, and his dark eyes seemed to glow with a deep blue light, even if the Jian family had left the capital, but the merits and mistakes of the year were all recorded.
When the list was submitted, it first passed the eyes of several ministers, but most of these ministers had dealings with the three princes in private, in fact, there was one thing he had not yet understood, if all the actions of the three princes were not authorized by the emperor, the emperor would not have dealt with it in this matter of disaster relief...... Harness the power of the Opportunity Workshop.
"Your Majesty, Canglan Academy only recommended one person to directly enter the finals this time, and the names of the other students participating in the competition are also on it, before tonight...... The Tianjing Academy will send that list. "Such a situation...... It's like what he did in the two-house tournament back then.
It wasn't until An Ming got into the carriage and prepared to return to the house that he understood what the emperor meant by not putting his eyes on the piece of paper after his words...... From that moment on, the emperor probably had a new understanding of his prince.
The third prince is definitely the most sober person, and he is also the one who lets go the most neatly, he has no worries about the emperor, and he has the ambition of the person in front of him.
"Prime Minister, Lin Gongzi said that it is inconvenient to enter the house today."
There was a little worry hidden in the familiar voice outside the car, the people in the car were a little relaxed at that moment, their expressions were gloomy that had never been shown in front of people, and the darkest part of their thoughts slowly dispersed with their own sobriety, as if it was a momentary thing, but An Ming's forehead was a little sweaty, and the paleness on his face suddenly appeared, until he seemed to see the person he had been remembering for the past ten years in a trance...... Brother Ping.
The dark light that just grew in the depths of my heart was born from this, and the destruction of Brother Ping's family back then was because of him...... An unintentional mistake.
"Prime Minister, the little guy in the house came to deliver a letter." The housekeeper's voice was through the curtain, and An Ming's gradually recovered expression still couldn't hide the sadness on his face, but his face was as resolute as ever, and his heart seemed to be expected, this letter ...... If it wasn't sent from Tiancheng County, it would be news from the Yuan Pavilion.
An Ming took the letter handed in, and at that moment there was a little light in his eyes, using paper like this...... It's Yuange's.
But the contents of the letter ...... An Ming grabbed the paper in his hand and gradually grew his strength, and for two years, such a letter was delivered almost every month, but there were only two words written in the letter...... To no avail.
Yuan Ge's ability is no less than the emperor's good opportunity workshop, and even more expansive than the royal family, since it is a transaction, he also believes that the other party is doing his best, so today's result ...... How is it?
"Ah Huan, can the Yuan Lord be at the Mingyue Restaurant today?"
"By the way, did you leave the capital at the beginning?"
"Ah...... Jing Huan, that ...... I'm looking for the Lord of the Abyss for something. ”
Lin Yeyun looked at the person in front of him whose face was gradually darkening, and paid more attention to the tone between his words, Ah Huan has been like this for so many years, and no one seems to appreciate his kindness.
Hua Jinghuan glanced at the person in front of him with a cold expression, and shook his head with a cold look, but the person opposite had to pout, which question is this answering?
Jing Huan...... I didn't ......" Lin Ye scratched his head, seeing Hua Jinghuan, who was obviously in a bad mood, and didn't know what to say next.
"Young Master Lin, Childe is invited." At this time, the door of a box on the second floor opened, and it was Mu You who had not been seen for a long time who came out.
