Watch the sea

Su Lang and Ye Xinghui came to Changzhou for less than half a month, enjoying the mountains and rivers, making friends, the two of them visited the whole brocade, as if what Su Lang said on the night of Zhou Ling's banquet, The two of them came to Changzhou just for "playing around in a name" that's all.

In fact, Xinghui is nothing. He simply followed Su Lang. Although Lishan has the intention of joining the WTO, he doesn't think about how to fight for power and profit. It doesn't matter to Xinghui whether he participates in Changzhou or not. .

But Su Lang is different. He came here to shock Pei Yuande. He represents the government of Yingguo, but he has not done any serious business these days, and he has not even participated in the investigation of the state examination fraud case at all. It is too inconsistent with Yinghai Su's position of worrying about the emperor.

What's even more strange is that Pei Yuande didn't even ask him to go there. Instead, he got mixed up with a group of people from Changzhou Prefecture and Jindu City.

But Su Lang didn't mind at all, he was very calm, and even took Xinghui to continue to go out for a stroll.

Seeing that the trial of the case was about halfway through, Xinghui was really puzzled this time, so he couldn't help asking Su Lang a few questions.

Su Lang smiled lightly when he heard the words: "My purpose of coming to Changzhou has actually been achieved. There are only six famous families in the top ten of the list, and there are quite a few people recorded in Changzhou. Think about how many families are behind it? Most of them The aristocratic family has always bad-mouthed the imperial examination. How could it be possible to pull down all the aristocratic families in Changzhou with a single state examination? If this is true, the aristocratic families in the four directions of Kyushu will quit tomorrow, and they will definitely force them openly and secretly Your Majesty will change the system, and by that time, the little avenues that the three generations of emperors have finally opened to the poor families will all be blocked."

Xinghui was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Actually, Xiao Gaomin didn't come to Jindu because his little uncle wanted to see you. Similarly, Zhou Mincai didn't do any personal business. The banquet that day was to test your attitude, right? Or, to test the attitude of the imperial capital?"

Su Lang twitched the corners of his mouth: "See me? I only saw you last year, and this year is the new year. The patriarchs from all directions in Kyushu will go to the imperial capital to see and report on their work. What? I come to Changzhou. At most, I will retake the state test, but if I go further, it is impossible to dig out the root knot inside. Dingkang is in the north of Changzhou, and Yichong is in the south of Changzhou. There is no room for further investigation in the shocking field of the prince. The nobles took a step back, and His Majesty has to take a step back. It is impossible to really investigate to the end. Let us wait, and in a few days, someone will come out to take the blame."

"The four shadow guards of the Son of Heaven?" Xinghui hesitated for a moment, frowning slightly.

A smile flashed in Su Lang's eyes: "It would be too easy to let the imperial capital retreat by just retaking the state test. Besides, even if it is a re-examination, it will only reduce the number of famous families. The four There are two shadow guards who are going to turn from the dark to the bright. Didn't I say that there are bound to be a few people in Changzhou to cover the crime of fraud, and one or two who have some real power, one or two The position cannot be completely controlled by the aristocratic family, and His Majesty wants to insert two people in, which can be regarded as barely opening a crack in Changzhou."

He paused, and then said: "I came to Changzhou to take a step back on behalf of the imperial capital, so I will not participate in the investigation, and I will not specifically care about which positions the one or two vacant real powers are. "

too difficult.

Whether it is to thoroughly implement the imperial examination in all directions of Kyushu, or to truly open a crack in Changzhou, where aristocratic families gather, it is too difficult.

Although Dayin's state law, the nine state cities in Kyushu are not respected by the family, but Changzhou Jindu is the most difficult to control among all the state cities.

Even with the support of the Yinghai Su family in Changdong and the Yuchun Han family in Changxi, it is still difficult to make further progress in the iron-cast Changzhou forces.

Xinghui raised his eyebrows and asked him: "What did His Majesty promise to Yinghai Su?"

Su Lang naturally understood the meaning of his words: "The Su family doesn't want much, of course they only want the same power and profit, the right to open sea and trade in Yinghai City.

Xinghui gave a "tsk" and said hurriedly: "This profit is not small, no wonder you are so rich."

"Why don't you afford the young master?" Su Lang lightly tapped Xinghui's shoulder, his eyes full of smiles.

Xinghui blushed, turned his head slightly, coughed, and half-jokingly said: "As soon as the sixth Mahayana comes out, Lishan is really on the same line as the emperor's capital. What will your Majesty give in exchange?"

Su Lang raised his eyebrows: "Then what does Lishan want?"

Xing Hui rested his chin on the desk, pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of Li Dongjun, who was beside His Majesty who was not thinking about Shu, and couldn't help laughing: "Li Shan does not fight for power or profit, so you have to think about it."

Su Lang nodded, looked down at him with a smile: "Then young master, think carefully, this opportunity must not be missed."

He knocked on the book table, with a serious look in his eyes: "Actually, it's not for the profit, but because, to settle down, one must have a clear view of the general trend of the world."

He should be grateful for this general trend of the world, because it also sent the person in front of him to him.

Just as Su Lang said, after another five days, the state examination fraud case finally "come to light". officials were also involved.

Pei Yuande played to the emperor, and the emperor read that Ke Kuang was burdened by his concubine's house, so he was spared the death penalty because he didn't know the inside story.In addition, the imperial capital appointed a new academic secretary, Changzhou Xueshi, and another Tixue Censor Assistant Inspector.

Under the imperial decree, the new Xuezheng and Tixue Yushi took office seven days later, and re-examined the Changzhou Autumn Examination.

Su Lang also received the fan painted by Zhou Mincai, the heir of Dingkang, which was sent by Zhou Ling himself.

There are two fans, one is for Xinghui, and the painting is the landscape of Changzhou. Zhou Ling brought a sentence to him, "The scenery of Jindu is infinite, and Dingkang is not inferior. If the young master of Lishan Mountain is interested, Dingguo Gongfu You must sweep the couch and wait, and walk backwards to meet you."

The other one is for Su Lang, and the painting is Lanjiang Hongbo. Zhou Ling also said, "The prince said that his handwriting is not as good as yours. Please come yourself."

Su Lang smiled when he heard the words, thanked Zhou Ling, and asked him to convey his thanks to Zhou Mincai. Zhou Ling responded, and said before leaving: "Please think twice before writing on the fan, after all, Lanjiang Hongbo's fan There is not much space left on the fan for this handle, but it is only suitable for the occasion by finding two matching poems and inscriptions."

After Zhou Ling left, Su Lang stroked the fan and was silent for a while.

Xinghui asked him: "We will return to the imperial capital in the future, are you not going to investigate Kang Zhou's western spice ship?"

Su Lang came back to his senses and shook his head: "I still need to investigate, but the whole Changzhou is staring at me during this trip, I can only come here to check the state for a test, and I can't leave Jindu, otherwise the imperial capital and the aristocratic family will retreat from each other. No, I will find an excuse to go back to Yinghai after a while to investigate again. The attitude of the Changzhou prefecture towards those troublesome students suddenly changed after the year, and it happened to be Zhou Ling who suggested it, as if he was not afraid of Jindu. As big as it is, the state government doesn't care about fraud and other things at all, just let it be stabbed to the imperial capital. Xiao Gaomin reminded me about the spice matter, maybe the intention of the state capital of Xuchang state has something to do with Dingkang, it's really a big deal Yes, I'm afraid it's not Jindu."

"Xiao Gaomin?" Xing Hui's face changed slightly: "He also reminded me that it's about the sixth Mahayana realm."

Dingkang Zhou family, the sixth Mahayana realm, Lanjiang Hongbo.

Su Lang's expression was condensed, his brows were furrowed, and the fan in his hand was slightly hot.
