Chapter 340: Figure it out
Nangong Yaowen didn't know why Zhang Jingzhi was so angry. It was said that yesterday's arrangements had been made in detail, and his father had explained it in person, so there couldn't be anything wrong.
"Caomin Nangong Jing, I have met you two adults." Nangong Jing's voice suddenly appeared in the yamen, and an old man walked out from the crowd. It was Nangong Jing, but he had more white hair on his head than in the past few months.
He walked several times, and his black hair seemed to be gone. With a smile on his face, he bowed to Zhang Jingzhi and Zheng Liaomin with cupped hands.
When the two saw this, they also raised their hands hurriedly: "It turns out that the head of the Nangong family has arrived, haha, no courtesy, no courtesy."
"I wonder what the child did? He made the two adults angry. I will definitely punish him when I go back and apologize to the two adults another day." Nangong Jing still kept smiling, but never looked at anyone in the hall.
Zhang Jingzhi stood up and chuckled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Mr. Jiang from Jiangning said that your son had someone's life on his hands and he killed someone."
Although Nangong Jing is the lowest level among scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants, he still has one hand covering the sky in Jinling, at least for now. He immediately smiled and said: "You are lying, my Nangong family is devoted to the country, and the Mani monster has occupied Jinling."
During the period of the tomb, our Nangong family provided food and clothing for thousands of scouts. Even if we were not doing business, we would try our best to transport the weapons and items that your lords urgently needed into the city. We cooperated internally and externally, and we won a great victory. You two lords, are you right?"
It was Zheng Liaomin who was negotiating with him. How could he not know, but there were many more things in it. Nangong Jing did not say it out, but immediately smiled and said: "Haha, that is natural. If it weren't for the great help of the Nangong family, General Ning and Lord Gao would have lost everything."
The strategy of coordinating the inside and the outside will not work. The Nangong family has the success of the recovery, and this is what Mr. Gao himself said."
The people outside the door were in an uproar. Manichaeism had been driven away. Now the Nangong family stood up and said they were heroes. Of course, no one believed it. After all, as Jiang Ning said, Nangong Wan was a saint. Based on this alone, the Nangong family and the
Manichaeism is also involved.
Now that Mr. Gao has personally proven it, it is absolutely true. In this way, the Nangong family has become the hero. It is reasonable for Nangong Jing to say this.
"My Nangong family is willing to go through fire and water for the imperial court. We are so loyal. How can we do murder?" Nangong Jing turned to Jiang Ning and sneered: "This is a real prince-in-law, a Mani demon."
Before the evildoer came, he was the most talented man in the south of the Yangtze River. After the evildoer Mani came, he was the prince-in-law. It’s up to you to decide which one is right and which is wrong. What he said was just to frame our Nangong family. The reason is that he has
Wang family."
Nangong Jing said, grinning, and snorted: "Huh, this Jiang Ning's son-in-law is still the son-in-law of the Wang family in Hangzhou..."
As soon as these words came out, they were even more shocking than the words just now. For one person to marry into two families, this is a crime of treason. Among the crowd, there were talented people who were friends with Nangong Yaowen. When they saw this, they were filled with righteous indignation and raised their arms and shouted:
: "It's such a disgrace to morality that you have to dip into a pig cage, dip into a pig cage..."
Five students squeezed out from the crowd and said one by one: "Sir, we are students of Tai'an Academy. When I, a student of Tai'an Academy, jointly wrote a memorandum against thieves, where was this so-called great talent? If I
My guess is correct, he should still be in Wenrou Township."
"That's right, one person married into two families. He deserves to be killed. He deserves to be killed..."
"This son is also the son-in-law of Mani's remnant. If he doesn't kill him, the people will not be angry. If he doesn't kill him, he won't be able to face the truth..."
Jiang Ning squinted his eyes, already having his own analysis of the matter in front of him.
After Nangong Jing arrived, he first avoided the important and talked about his achievements, leaving Zhang Jingzhi and Zheng Liaomin speechless. Then he exposed Jiang Ning's identity as a son-in-law and used scholars to put pressure on the yamen.
Once scholars stand up and speak, the yamen must listen and give them an explanation. Otherwise, if they jointly submit a letter to the Censor's Office, it will be enough for the yamen, especially since these two adults have just taken office.
Then he took the fact that he was a prince-in-law as the last straw that broke the camel's back, forcing this group of scholars to attack him from the two perspectives of patriotism and folk customs. They were able to think so much in such a short time, and took advantage of the situation to take advantage of people's hearts. This Nangong Jing
He is indeed an old fox.
But Jiang Ning remained silent, looking at Zhang Jingzhi and Zheng Liaomin. They both knew that the person in front of them was the Secretary of Ceremony of the Jing'an Department, a fourth-rank imperial official, directly subordinate to the Right Prime Minister and the Censor's Office, and the Consort.
They don't have to pursue the matter of my father, but what they are talking about now is the matter of Jiang Ning marrying into two families.
It is difficult, especially for the current group of scholars. They are arguing that they will put Jiang Ning in a pig cage. If a dignified fourth-rank imperial official dies in Jinling, it will not be difficult for the right prime minister to explain, but it will be impossible to explain. Although they are the left prime minister
People, but if the Right Prime Minister is using the topic as an excuse, can the two of them withstand the censor's investigation? Of course they can't.
Thinking of this, Zheng Liaomin sighed and said, "Everyone, can you listen to what I have to say first?"
"Let me tell you, Sir, Sir Zheng is our parent official and will make decisions for us."
Zheng Liaomin frowned and said: "This matter is very involved and cannot be decided here. It needs to be reported to the court for a decision from above..."
"If a person marries a family, if he is a woman, he will be executed on the spot. No one dares to say anything. So what if he is a talented man? This is the Great Xia Dynasty. It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Dynasty. This matter has never been heard of or seen. What are you still hesitating about?"
There are those who are seeking fame and reputation. They want to use this matter to make a big splash, not only to gain a good reputation, but also to help the Nangong family, so as to take a further step in their future career.
"That's right. Isn't it true that you are a scholar? You have read all the books of saints and sages to your stomach?"
"Don't say it's a disdain for scholars. I'm an upright man, but I'm a disdain for myself. Hmm, a bastard who's not as good as a pig or a dog..."
Among the crowd, there were people talking about anything. Cheng Jinyun on the side knew the whole story and wanted to explain something, but saw Jiang Ning frowning and shaking his head, so he had to stop what he was thinking, but because of Jiang Ning
Feel wronged.
This is the case in this era. Since the establishment of feudal society, the patriarchal society has been baptized by the slave society and reached its peak in the feudal society. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, education and officialdom are the best pursuits of men in the world, even if there is no fame.
If you can read and write, you can also be a teacher in the towns and villages, write for others, and have no worries about food and clothing. You will be the best in the world.
Sooner or later, these talented people who study will have to take the exams to obtain fame. Some soar to the sky, become dragons and phoenixes in the world, and hold important official positions. Some become famous and have great talents, and will remain famous throughout the ages. Some are proficient in politics and are very comfortable in the officialdom.
, and may even become their colleagues, so they still pay more attention to the words of these scholars.
After all, my butt is not clean, and it is not easy to deal with these stubborn people. It is not necessary to come to all the governments to contact each other and submit a joint letter. The court sends someone to investigate.
"Silence, silence..." Zhang Jingzhi has no choice at this moment, and Jiang Ning's identity cannot be revealed. But even if you are an official of the imperial court, married into two families, and one family is a rebel, the Yushitai will basically sentence you to
How big of a contribution can it make? Can it be greater than appeasing the hearts of scholars all over the world?
"Jiang Ning, tell me, is this true?" Zhang Jingzhi asked with a frown. He seemed to be at a loss. There were already more than ten scholars in front of him, not only from the academy, but also from the recapture of Jinling.
If those who come here because of their reputation are treated unfairly, it will definitely chill the hearts of the students.
Before Jiang Ning could say anything, he saw that the door suddenly cleared. Everyone moved out of the way, only to see an old man, dressed in white, holding a cane, with white hair, looking like an old man, walking slowly.
When I entered the hall, I was followed by two boys.
When the dozen or so students saw the old man, they all bowed and gave way without daring to raise their heads.
