Yan Jingqing nodded and said, "The students and Li Chunfang have already reported this this morning."
Yang Shanchang nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he was stunned, but the next moment he laughed: "What a powerful character."
After saying that, Yang Shanchang sighed. It was not a good thing that the other side was powerful.
Hearing this, Yan Jingqing was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, he looked at Yang Guofu.
Yang Guofu frowned in surprise, thinking about the meaning of his father's words.
However, Yang Shanchang did not ask any more questions and said, "Didn't the Eighth Prince say he was sick? How is he?"
Hearing this, Yang Guofu said, "It's said to be a cold. I saw that he looked much better yesterday morning."
Yang Shanchang smiled and was unwilling to waste any more words on the Eighth Prince.
Because it seems unnecessary.
Yang Guofu thought for a while and said, "Dad, the Western Regions and Tubo are probably already in close contact with the King of Shu. Although it's just a guess,..."
When Yang Guofu said this.
Yang Shanchang said, "Guofu, what did you just say? Are you going to do something?"
Hearing this, Yang Guofu pursed his lips, then looked at his father and said directly: "Dad, we have to do something in this situation. I am really scared! His Majesty seems to have spared us, but... but it doesn't look like forgiveness."
On the other side, Yan Jingqing also frowned and looked at Yang Shanchang.
Now there are only a few people left in Yang's party.
Without exception, all of them are working hard, mainly because they have seen the fate of other Yang party members and are scared!
Especially Yang Guofu, who personally raided many families’ homes. Every time he raided their homes, he became more nervous, wondering what would happen if the same thing happened to him in the future!
Things are done step by step, and the mentality changes step by step.
After going through so many things, Yang Guofu's mood has changed a lot.
And the more he personally led people to search the house, the more afraid and panicked he became!
The same was naturally true for Yan Jingqing. It was he who led people to confiscate the properties of the officials involved in the previous imperial examination!
It might not seem like a big deal if you just hear about it, but when they do it themselves, and the person they do it to is the one who used to obey them, how can they not think about the knife falling over their heads?
so.
Although Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing knew that Yang Shanchang was there and the knife would not fall, but with a knife hanging over their heads, who wouldn't be worried?
Yang Shanchang glanced at the two of them and said, "If you don't do anything, you will do it."
The two were stunned for a moment.
Yang Shanchang looked at the two and sighed, "I know what you two are worried about. You are just worried that there are many people with evil intentions in the capital now, and you are afraid that we will be implicated and cause trouble again."
"I just thought you two had done a good job over the past month, but you couldn't help it after just one month? You just did your own things this month, and something went wrong? His Majesty is looking for trouble? Hey. You two."
As he said this, Yang Shanchang reached out to take the naan that was baking by the stove. Yan Jingqing saw it and immediately took a piece and handed it to Yang Shanchang.
Yang Shanchang took a bite and then looked at his son, his student, and could not help scolding him: "The great roc spreads its wings for nine thousand miles, but it cannot see the ants on the ground. You guys have always taken yourselves too seriously, so you jump around. Now that you are at peace, everything is fine. In your majesty's eyes, there are only wedding matters and other things happening at the moment. Do you two think you are more important than the queen? Or more important than the fact that most of Jiaodong is about to be controlled by the Eighth Prince? Or do you think you are more important than the King of Shu who is colluding with foreign tribes and is about to rebel openly? Or are you more important than those clean people in the south who are twisted into a rope and pretend to obey the court but secretly disobey it?"
"Take a piss and look at yourself! Even I am not worthy of His Majesty in these matters! I don't know what you two are thinking every day. His Majesty doesn't have to wait so long to deal with you. He has already taken action several times before. I have told you before that you are not qualified. Why can't you figure it out?"
Hearing this, Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing looked at each other.
Yan Jingqing smiled bitterly.
Yang Guofu thought for a while and said, "Dad, it's true..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Guofu looked at the expression on Yang Shanchang's face when he looked at him, and Yang Guofu closed his mouth.
Yang Shanchang put the naan back on the stove and said, "The capable will rise, the mediocre will fall, the incompetent will retreat, the complacent will be defeated by the weak, the complacent will be defeated by the ignorant. In a world of great contention, only strength will prevail. We have things we need to do, and before that, doing nothing is like doing something. Send someone to deliver the jeweled gold hairpin with a deer and crane in spring and the sandalwood konghou hairpin in the storeroom to Su Liushi of the Su Mansion, and say that we in the Yang Mansion congratulate Madam Su. Send some other things as well, saying that we congratulate the whole Su Mansion on the New Year."
Yang Guofu immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
But Yang Shanchang seemed to remember something, and then asked: "Oh, by the way, that young man named Li Hun, I talked to him for a while, I remember he was quite talented, and he was awarded an official title."
Hearing this, Yang Guofu shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with us. Even if we pass the exam and get the first place, we can't be appointed to any official position. We are only a reserve. Even if we are hired in the future, we will probably be thrown into some corner to be a county magistrate."
Yang Shanchang shook his head: "Oh, what a pity! I will talk to Su Wenqing about it some other day. But speaking of this Li Hun, I remember the one who used to be with the prince of the Eighth Prince was called An."
Yan Jingqing immediately said, "Meng Shaoan is now the magistrate of Yan. Xia Zhixu has given him a lot of power and said he is good at pacifying the people."
Yang Shanchang shook his head again: "It's a pity. If he has the ability, why can't he see anything? Hey, he is just a bookworm."
Afterwards, Yang Shanchang didn't say much. After all, they were just two people he suddenly remembered.
After leaning back, Yang Shanchang looked at Yan Jingqing and said, "Jingqing, tell me again about the entire process of tomorrow and what the queen has changed. There can't be any mistakes tomorrow."
Yan Jingqing responded immediately.
Tomorrow, your majesty and the queen will be married, and there must be no mistakes.
It wasn't just Yang Shanchang who thought so.
Chapter 262 Before the Wedding (Part )
In fact.
Today, this thought is shared everywhere in the capital.
Except for the common people who sincerely thanked the Queen and His Majesty, and were so happy that they were eagerly waiting for tomorrow to come and celebrate.
All the dignitaries in the capital were on high alert, some carefully understanding all the etiquette for tomorrow, some solemnly explaining the rules for their family members who could accompany them into the palace tomorrow, and some checking the details of the service, for fear of breaking any taboos and bringing bad luck.
After all, the current emperor is magnanimous and does not care about trivial matters.
But everyone knows that anything that involves the emperor's weak spot must not be done!
And the Queen is the Achilles' heel of today's Emperor!
not to mention
There is also Wei Xuancheng! !
He is now like a door god. He has to report everything to you. He does everything that the Censorate does for you!
If there was even the slightest mistake, Wei Xuancheng's memorial would be delivered to the emperor immediately.
The main thing is that he is still the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so we can't say anything to him.
So everyone is naturally cautious.
And those foreign countries were also very cautious and asked carefully about the various details of Su Changan and Daxia's wedding and the etiquette that should not be followed.
of course
Except for Beiman, the King of the Southern Courtyard.
After the King of the Southern Court came to the capital, there was singing and dancing in the embassy where he lived. It was just like the erotic songs and dances, so joyful and free.
The officials who accompanied them also joined in the fun without any dissuasion.
This made the officials from the Honglu Temple who were receiving the guests astonished, and they could only sigh that it was a blessing for Great Xia to have such a King of the Southern Courtyard in the Northern Barbarians!
In my heart, I wish that the Northern Barbarians were all such officials!
but
In addition to these individuals, people who were also qualified to attend the wedding, such as Yan Shu, Zuo Shaoweng, and Li Wei and Liu Sanbai who would have to wait until after the New Year to take up official positions, were all on high alert, not daring to be careless at all. They kept pestering Xun Kuang to ask about various matters, and were even prepared not to eat today, for fear that something might go wrong tomorrow.
Even though I have been to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and even participated in the palace examination, I still feel
What will happen tomorrow makes them most nervous.
Not to mention the female officials serving in the palace!
As the time got closer to tomorrow, everyone held their breath more and more, making the atmosphere in the palace much more serious than usual.
just
There are exceptions.
Li Xingyue, who was already working in the Palace Administration Office, was standing in the courtyard of the office, looking at the snow outside. She felt a little sad because she had to wear official uniform tomorrow and could not wear nice clothes.
I prepared it especially for tomorrow.
And
I thought about the process of teaching my sister, the Queen Mother, to dance.
Li Xingyue also has troubles.
because
That sister's dancing is horrible.
Although I don’t know what kind of dance she, as a queen, will be performing tomorrow, but if she really dances, it will be a headache for her to dance.
"Oh, I don't know what will happen tomorrow," Li Xingyue sighed.
Thinking of the scenes of teaching Su Changan to dance these days, Li Xingyue reached out and pinched her nose.
Although she didn't know why Su Changan learned to dance, Li Xingyue hoped that everything would be fine.
But think about it carefully.
Li Xingyue was also helpless. Although Su Changan danced very clumsily, it didn't seem to matter because he was so handsome and just standing there was already amazing.
Can.
Li Xingyue still wanted to see Su Changan dance beautifully, and then proudly say to others, "I taught him that."
However, Li Xingyue felt that this possibility was too small.
Thought of here
Li Xingyue looked at the snow scene, sighed again, then turned and walked towards the prison cell in Gongzhengsi.
There are many places to spend money in the palace recently because of wedding-related purchases and other things, and there are always one or two people with dirty hands who pop up.
As for such matters, Gong Zheng handed them over to Li Xingyue.
Before Li Xingyue entered the dungeon, she walked in with a stern face, and then looked at the palace servants who had committed crimes: "Why don't you confess?"
