After searching for information from his cronies, Zhang Songling confirmed after an hour that Nangong Xi's nephew Nangong Ping was indeed a shopkeeper at a tooth shop in the southern suburbs.
Fortunately, besides Nangong Xi, Langya Wang Changxian is also there.
In recent times, Changxian has been sent by Chu Qing to hang out in a dental shop in the southern suburbs.
Zhang Songling was overjoyed and quickly went to Shangshu Province.
The government offices of the Shangshu Province were not outside the palace, but in the palace, located in the peripheral area of the palace. They were responsible for handling government affairs reported by each government office every day. They could be understood as the emperor's think tank plus a small group of administrative assistants.
The government office is not big, but it is a place that all the courtiers want to get in. During the Chang Dynasty, which lasted for more than 400 years, many ministers and even ministers at the ministerial level came from the Shangshu Province.
If you want to be a minister, you don't have to be an official of the Shangshu Province, but even a minister must give some respect to the officials of the Shangshu Province.
The Shangshu Province is also known as the Little Six Ministries. Although it is called the Shangshu Province, it is like the three provinces of the sect, Shangshu, and Zhongshu are integrated into one. They are responsible for drafting edicts, reviewing edicts, and promulgating and executing government orders, including government decision-making, review, etc.
Guan has great power. If Liubujiu Temple wants to make big moves, it must first get the nod from Shangshu.
However, it is worth mentioning that Shangshu Sheng does not take the initiative to do "things". Most of them judge whether the court should take the initiative to do something, and whether it is right or wrong after doing it.
After Zhang Songling arrived at Shangshu Province, he reported his name and came to the main hall where he saw Nangong Xi who was processing official documents.
Zhang Songling did not dare to show any indifference to this number one civil servant in the Chang Dynasty, so he bowed to see him.
Nangong Xi, who was behind the desk, raised his head without any airs. He smiled slightly and said, "This is Minister Zhang, take a seat."
After Zhang Songling sat down with Xiao, Nangong Xi closed the official document and said, "But it's official business for your Ministry of Rites?"
"I have taken the liberty to come here because of personal matters."
"Private matter?"
"There is a dental shop in the southern suburbs of central Beijing. It is also the only dental shop in the capital. I heard that the shopkeeper of this dental shop is called Nangong Ping."
"Ping'er?!" Nangong Xi's expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared. He asked in a deep voice: "Is my nephew Nangong Ping really the shopkeeper of that tooth shop?"
"I don't dare to hide it, that's why."
"Asshole!"
Nangong Xi, who showed no emotion or anger, slapped his hand on the table, his eyes twitching: "He doesn't want face, but I still want it. Why does this bastard want to get involved in such a thing?"
Zhang Songling's eyes showed secret joy: "That tooth line is in the name of Chu Qing, the deputy commander of Qianqiying, and in recent days, Mr. Nangong seems to have been doing things for Chu Qingan."
"Chu Qing?" Nangong Xi was no longer angry, but narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Songling.
Nangong Xi's gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Just looking at it, Zhang Songling's heart was beating for no reason.
Under Nangong Xi's gaze for a long time, Zhang Songling quickly stood up and saluted: "I dare not hide it. There is indeed a gap with the deputy commander of Qianqiying. But this time I came to ask Lord Nangong to tell the matter, not to hide it."
I have other thoughts, just thinking about impeaching Chu Qing in the future, for fear... I am afraid of implicate Mr. Nangong."
Zhang Songling knew that Nangong Xi was not a fool, so he had already thought of his excuse. As for whether Nangong Xi believed it or not, it didn't matter. At least he had a reason.
"I know this. I will tell this bastard not to have anything to do with Qianqi Camp in the future."
"One more thing. In addition to Mr. Nangong, there is also a young man, who should be the second prince, His Royal Highness King Langya."
"King Langya?"
Nangong Xi's expression changed again. This time, there was really a bit of anger in his chest.
Outsiders don't know about the accident in Yuanye Palace, how can he not know about it?
Therefore, in Nangong Xi's eyes, Changxian is really nothing. He even dares to harm his eldest brother. This kind of beast is inhuman.
King Langya has been getting close to Chu Qing recently, and Nangong Xi knows about it, but it has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't bother to say more.
But Chu Qing actually let Nangong Ping, whom he raised like a son, hang out with a beast like King Langya, which he couldn't bear.
Nangong Xi had a son, Nangong Shou, who had an idle job and spent the whole day in the palace as a companion to the prince.
Let’s talk about this biological son Nangong Shou. It’s not bad. He was talented and studious since he was a child. He has a high level of understanding. He is close to him and obedient. However, the father Nangong Xi just likes the rebellious Nangong Ping more than Nangong Shou.
Nangong Xi always felt that Nangong Ping was like herself, like herself when she was young. She was very doting on him, not that kind of doting, but the doting in her heart.
The Prime Minister actually asked Nangong Ping to join the court as an official, but the latter did not agree. However, with Nangong Xi's ability, it was not a big problem to force Nangong Ping to enter the Liubujiu Temple.
But Nangong Xi did not do this because he was afraid that the big dye vat in Chaotang would destroy Nangong Ping's piece of jade.
As a result, before he could figure out how to carve the rough jade, Chu Qing just threw the piece of rough jade into the manure pit.
After being silent for a long time, Nangong Xi said slightly dissatisfied: "Just wait here, I will go to Jingyi Hall."
Zhang Songling was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Songling knew that when Nangong Xi went to Jingyi Hall, he was naturally going to find the emperor. Yaxing was not a good place after all. Since it involved King Langya and the deputy commander of Qianqiying, it was understandable that Nangong Xi went to find the emperor.
Let the emperor give Chu Qing a warning, and the teeth will naturally not be able to continue. Then he will publicize the matter and let the officials criticize Chu Qing.
Nangong Xi walked out of the government office with his hands behind his back and went straight to the Jingyi Hall.
After arriving, the little eunuch at the door announced, and Nangong Xi stepped into the palace.
At this time, Huang Laosi was researching and promoting various merchants to make up for the tax money. He was immersed in the fantasy of getting rich overnight. When he saw Nangong Xi coming in, he asked Sun An to move to the embroidery pier.
"Nangong Aiqing." Huang Laosi smiled and said, "I happen to be looking for you for something, so it's good to come."
Nangong Xi saluted and then sat on the embroidered pier. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, just say it first. This is due to private matters."
"Private matter?"
"It concerns His Royal Highness King Langya."
Huang Laosi frowned. Recently, he had not paid much attention to Changxian. According to Tong Gui, Changxian was sent by Chu Qing to Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs to set up a talent service guarantee hall.
Huang Laosi didn't understand what kind of hall this was and didn't take it seriously. Now when he saw Nangong Xi coming, he immediately thought that his second son was causing trouble again.
Not caring about studying "getting rich overnight", Huang Laosi said solemnly: "What's wrong with Changxian? Nangong Aiqing just said it bluntly."
"Your Majesty, I have just learned about this. There is a dental shop in the southern suburbs. It is the only dental shop in Beijing. The person in charge of this dental shop is my nephew Nangong Ping. In addition to Nangong Ping, King Langya
Your Highness is also hanging out here, I feel ashamed, this Yahang is a gathering place of three religions and nine streams, and the money earned, although it does not violate the laws of Chang'an, is known as a place that sucks the bones and blood of the people."
"Nangong Aiqing said it, but it's called... called..."
Huang Laosi looked at Sun An beside him, who said: "Southern Suburbs Talent Service Guarantee Hall."
"Yes, it was Chu Qing who came up with this weird name." Huang Laosi frowned slightly: "Is this Chu Qing so cowardly that he dares to let Chang Xian's companion mix among the teeth?"
"I don't know what's going on, but since it's just a dental practice, word has spread that it has a bad reputation."
"Chu Qing..." Huang Laosi looked a little confused. He lowered his head and glanced at the memorial, then stood up and said: "Seeing is believing. I feel that Chu Qing shouldn't be so ignorant. Why don't Nangong Aiqing and I see it with our own eyes?"
How about the last one?"
"Well, seeing is believing."
Nangong Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, the fourth child found an excuse to leave the palace again.
