The sudden business trip disrupted Nan Ruo's plan, and the night was full of dreams. Emperor Yongzhao only gave them two days to prepare, and they had to leave after two days. These two days were due to Tan Ying's need to rest just after returning, otherwise they would have to leave on the same day.

After leaving the Zichen Palace, Tan Ying said, "Hurry up and get ready, let's walk along the river, let's go..." He gave him a look, "Choose a few more people to bring with you."

Nan Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

Tan Ying has already changed the subject: "We'll talk about the school exams later. You've done a great job on this matter. These hozens need to be dealt with."

Nan Ruo showed indignation on his face: "The subordinates are really angry, but they take their salary for nothing and do nothing. They are so tired that Zhen Fu runs around in person."

Tan Ying patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Okay, I'll give it a bonus too, and tell them that I will pick some of them to serve under my command."

"Xie Zhenfu!" Nan Ruo showed joy, and sighed the old fox in his heart. The good seedlings he had trained for more than a month were all blind for nothing, and made wedding dresses for others, but he had expected it in his heart, so he was not too disappointed.

After leaving the palace, Nan Ruo went to the station first, called four small flags to tell them the matter, and said: "Xinquan stay here, Siyuan will follow me."

Xu Xinquan was a little disappointed, but quickly figured out his intention to keep him, adjusted and said: "This subordinate understands, and this subordinate will definitely take a good look at the barracks."

Nan Ruo nodded in satisfaction: "I'll leave this matter to you. As for the two of you..." He looked at Shao Huaiting and Tang Gang, "Stay here to assist Xinquan in supervising Banner Ding's practice."

He had thought about it, he didn't intend to take any of the flagmen under his banner, these people are called soldiers, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they might not be as good as the guards in his mansion, if something happens, don't expect them to protect them, I'm afraid that one of them will hide than him.

But we can't leave one of them alone, Wei Siyuan is a tall man, so carrying them can at least strengthen his momentum.

After explaining, he rode his horse back to Nangong Mansion. Jin Long and Gu Yu had already brought the message, and the whole mansion was busy with his trip.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, he was sent out to wait at the door to ask him for instructions.

Nan Ruo strode across the Chaoshou verandah, and said quickly as he walked: "I'm going by water and land, and it's not advisable to bring too much luggage when I take the official ship, so let me simplify the preparations. Also, I want to bring ten guards, and prepare them for them too." superior……"

Arriving at the gate of the scumbag courtyard, the fourth day of the junior high school quickly turned around and went back to report the letter.

When Nanruo entered the house, the heating system came over the surface, and the biting chill brought by the horse riding all the way was immediately dissipated.

"Stand don't come over here!" Nangong Yunlin waved at him as he sank into the sofa covered with a blanket, "Take off the leather cloak and put it on the fumigation cage. Come here after warming yourself up. I have a cold and are afraid of the cold, so I can't touch the cold."

As he spoke, he picked up a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and sneezed.

Nan Ruo hurriedly said a few words of concern, and said casually: "It's cold in winter, father, be careful when you go in and out."

Nangong Yunlin rubbed his nose: "I'm paying attention, how can I not pay attention to my body, it's not that I stood with His Majesty in the cold wind for a long time yesterday, how did you see the Holy Majesty today?"

"Your Majesty is in good health." Nan Ruo said, asking tentatively, "Your Majesty is angry with what happened recently?"

Nangong Yunlin yawned: "The Holy Majesty was annoyed by the empress again, and the holy majesty went to the imperial garden to cut flowers to apologize to the empress. In the cold wind, I accompanied me for a long time to make a match."

Nan Ruoxin said that the emperor was hard-working enough, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "Why did the sage provoke the empress again? But for the prince to choose a concubine?"

"Okay, come and sit." Nangong Yunlin's chin was facing each other, not in a hurry to explain his doubts, but said, "I haven't called you here for half a month, and I want you to think about it yourself. Tell me first. What did you figure out?"

Nan Ruo poured himself a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Wake up, Dad?"

Nangong Yunlin thought for a while, and said: "I just want to say one thing, why do you go to the south of the Yangtze River every few years when you are a saint?"

Holding the tea, Nan Ruo pondered, "The Holy One already intended to rectify Jiangnan?"

Nangong Yunlin nodded slightly: "There is more, let's continue."

"Could it be..." Nan Ruo boldly guessed, "Is Zhen Cai's accident this time intentional? The Holy One wants to take this opportunity to send someone to Jiangnan?!"

No wonder the incident spread so loudly that everyone in the capital knew about it, and even some details of the conversation were spread out. If the emperor wanted to let it go, it would make sense.

"Then is it true or not that the Zhan Shifu's money-gathering is true?"

Is it the emperor who wants to suppress the prince, or does he want the prince to go to the south of the Yangtze River to sit in charge?Or both?

Nangong Yunlin raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Don't meddle in the affairs of Zhan Shifu, remember, you are now the emperor's courtier."

Nan Ruo recognized that he said it was the emperor and not the Holy One, and gave him a subtle look.

"It's not something you and I can say about the Holy Majesty and the Prince. Just do your own thing and don't meddle in the rest."

But haven't you already made it clear that you are Queen Zheng?

Nan Ruo showed the truth on his face, he has now touched the way to get along with Nangong Yunlin, and he is not afraid of acting less innocent in front of him.

Nangong Yunlin scoffed: "Your father and I are loyal to the Holy One. As the saying goes, a husband and wife are one body, and a wife is more valuable than a husband. What is the difference between my being my mother and my being the Holy One?"

Nan Ruoxin said, then you don't know that there was a female emperor in our previous life, let alone that your mother was a college student who received a new century education before she traveled.

After thinking about it, it's no wonder that they couldn't think of it. The female emperor is unprecedented in this world, and the idea of ​​male superiority and inferiority has been imprisoned for thousands of years, and her thinking is limited.

Nangong Yunlin laughed suddenly, with self-mockery: "I am valued by the Holy One by flattery, so I am pleased by the Holy One and hated by the Evil One."

He waved his hand, stopped Nan Ruo's comforting words, and said with a complicated expression: "You don't want to learn from me, you just listen to the instructions of the Holy One, don't meddle with what you shouldn't, you will have a good future."

Nan Ruo was silent.

Nangong Yunlin brought back the topic: "You think right. The Holy One had the intention to rectify Jiangnan when he came back from his parade this spring. He just didn't have the opportunity for a while, and now it just happened because of Zhen Cai's incident."

"It has been more than ten years since the empress presented cotton, wool, down and new looms, and the weaving in Jiangnan has become more and more prosperous. Let me just say one thing. In October last year, the weaving workshop negotiated with Yi merchants to trade 20 bolts of silk, which was worth 220 million taels of silver. It took only half a month to complete the delivery.”

Nan Ruo already has a clear understanding of Dayan's currency, two taels of silver can buy a year's rations for an ordinary family of three, and 220 million taels can feed at least one million people!

Nangong Yunlin said: "This is just a weaving workshop. The three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are full of workshops. The annual output is not ordinary, not to mention the grain, porcelain and tea. The annual tax payment is the highest in the country. The wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is far greater than that of the capital. You will know when you go there. "

Nan Ruo nodded, he knew this, just read the poems describing Jiangnan when he was in school, and TV dramas like the emperor's private visits in micro clothes, basically they all went to Jiangnan, if it was not good there, why would the emperor repeat it again and again go.

"Father, does anyone know who will do the business of buying and selling quotas this time?"

The prefect who committed suicide was obviously a scapegoat pushed out.

Nangong Yunlin shook his head: "I don't get involved in the affairs of the court, and I don't know the specific situation in the south of the Yangtze River."

He is already eye-catching enough. If he dares to express his opinions on the government, he is afraid that the emperor will not be able to protect him. Every time he goes back to the south of the Yangtze River, he can only plant himself in the gentle village, so that he will not hear or hear, and he will not reveal his ignorance.

"However." He sighed, "Yang Tao should have been framed and wronged. He is clean and thrifty, and he will never accept bribes..." Speaking of this, he was a little uncertain, "It should be, I had a relationship with him in the past. After a few encounters, I think I still have some skills in judging people, but now I can’t say for sure, as the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, and the place in the south of the Yangtze River is the easiest to confuse people’s eyes.”

Speaking of this, his face became serious: "When you go back to Jiangnan, you only remember one thing - follow the prince closely!"

Nan Ruo looked at him.

Nangong Yunlin's expression was serious: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. If you are in a hurry, you don't dare to do anything. Your Majesty sent you there just to gain insight. Don't act rashly. Follow the prince in and out. You can live with the prince." live!"

Although Tan Ying's reminder had already made Nan Ruo aware that this trip would not be easy, but Nangong Yunlin's words made him truly realize the seriousness of the matter, his heart tightened, and he said, "I'll listen to my father, and I won't push myself."

After Nangong Yunlin threatened him, he comforted him again: "Don't worry, the Holy Majesty will send the crown prince there, and he will be well protected. As long as you stay with the crown prince, you will be fine."

Nan Ruo pondered the meaning of his words, so the emperor is still facing the prince?If so, why did he send him this trip?No, it was the prince who volunteered.

Nan Ruo, who had never experienced the relationship between father and son, was a little confused about what happened to the father and son.

"Why is your majesty angry with His Majesty?"

After talking for a long time, he still hasn't answered his doubts.

Nangong Yunlin was confused: "Your Majesty bought property in the south of the Yangtze River in the past, so your majesty's rectification will definitely be affected..."

I didn't say anything more, I just told him to be careful on the road.

Nan Ruo probably had an idea in his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Although Nangong Yunlin didn't know what's going on in Jiangnan, he still knew about the officials on the surface, and he did some popular science for him.

He said again: "If you pass by Shaoyang Mansion on this trip, you should remember to visit Song's house."

Nan Ruo agreed, the Song family will be in-laws in the future, if they pass by, they will definitely come to the door, just in time to ask Si Niang if there is anything he wants him to bring to his fiancé.

After discussing what should be brought by the person who should bring, Nan Ruo immediately went to pack and arrange.

Regardless of Gu Yu's and Jin Long's protests, he sent the two of them home and appointed guards in person. They were all tall and mighty, which finally gave him a sense of security.

He sent the third grader to the Zhao Mansion again, and brought a letter to Zhao Rong, telling him to take more trouble to find the fish club. Nan Ruo felt that he had set up a navy club, it was clearly a melon eating club, and the information delivered by the members It's all gossip.

The content is as explosive as why a sow screamed late at night in her previous life, and why a ninety-year-old lady came back to life, and so on. Most of the most popular news exchanges are of this kind.

Zhao Rong, who knew that he was going on a business trip, asked Chu San to bring him a reply letter, telling him to be careful and safe.

The relatives and friends who received the news the next day all sent their servants to bring letters, telling him to be careful and to come in person for fear that asking him to entertain would affect his preparations, especially when his aunt baked many biscuits overnight and sent them to him to eat on the road.

Although Nan Ruo and Xiao Ruogu have different tastes, looking at the biscuit jar, he may feel warm in his heart.

Two days passed in a flash, and everything was ready. In the early morning of this day, Nan Ruo took the guards and three cars full of luggage and went straight to the pier, passing by Wei's house to pick up Wei Siyuan.

After waiting for half an hour at the pier, Tan Ying arrived in a mighty manner with Ding Hao, the family soldier flag, followed by the prince in a car, and Chang Qing, the inner prisoner sent by the emperor.

Beside the frame, Fu Zhuo rode a horse proudly.

Nan Ruo raised his eyebrows, he thought the crown prince would bring Xie Yuanchong, but he didn't expect to bring Fu Zhuo.

A group of people boarded the boat one by one, the prince paused when Nanruo passed by: "You come here alone."

The crowd following him looked over.

The prince said indifferently: "Father and empress have specially told you that you are young and mighty so that Gu will look at you more."

After speaking, he boarded the boat without stopping.

Nan Ruo followed Fu Zhuo's eyes.
