Jiapingguan Chronicle

"Isn't this the one in the legend who specializes in dirty work?" Xue Ruitian sneered, "The empress dowager is too violent!"

"That's right, no matter how you say it, Mr. Ning is also a high school champion at the age of [-] or [-], and he should look pretty good. Is it a bit too much to do these dirty and tiring jobs for the Empress Dowager?" "Jin Jing also nodded, "However, even if these things are found out, it will not affect him, will it? Why should he rush to silence?" He looked at Second Master Jiang, "According to the usual style of the Empress Dowager, I want to It's probably not Mrs. Ning who wants to kill the second master, but her."

"You are wrong. If it is the Empress Dowager, there is no need to be so troublesome." Second Master Jiang snorted, "And you will not use such an argument that no one will believe, saying that I want to fight for the throne. Only people who don't know the royal family can say it. Although the Empress Dowager is not of one mind with the Song family, he can't say such obvious words that can be debunked. The only ones who can really be deceived are the civil servants outside."

"The information received by civil servants, Xungui, and the clan is completely different." Shen Haolin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, cleared his throat, and said, "Xungui and the clan are very aware of the temperament of the royal children, and they know who the Song family is. What kind of personality, but civil servants are different. They only think about how to divide power from the emperor, and only think about how to get the merits of Conglong. They don't think about other things, and they don't want to think about other things. The clan is not willing to deal with them, and they don't care about interacting with the clan and nobles, so naturally they don't know anything about it."

"Yeah, so many of their actions look very ridiculous in our eyes." Second Master Jiang looked at the children, "You know the identity of Mrs. Ning, what doubts do you have? Or, what is there?" Thoughts?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Brother Xiaotian said that he once bumped into the Ning family couple and sent someone to send a message to Ningchang State. The servants in the Ningchang State Mansion treated them very badly and disgusted them. So, Ningchang Kingdom has a bad relationship with the later Ning family?"

"I can't say it's bad, it's very bad." Second Master Jiang chuckled, "Actually, the Ning family in Chaozhou regretted finding such a family for their youngest son. After the number one scholar in Changguo High School, he stayed silently in the Imperial Academy for several years, knowing that his father passed away, and after my brother ascended the throne, did he find an opportunity to go to a place and become a fifth-rank co-prefect?"

"I don't know." Several children shook their heads, Xue Ruitian touched his chin, looked at Second Master Jiang, and said, "But, generally speaking, don't the top three want to enter the Imperial Academy? Are there other choices?"

"Of course there is. Although it is said that if you want to enter the cabinet, you have to work in the Imperial Academy for a few years, but this is just casual talk. Aren't the current cabinet elders all former Imperial Academy. Sometimes the Imperial Academy, especially During the Pure Emperor period, it was a place for retirement."

"Since this is the case, why would he, a number one scholar, go to the Imperial Academy to eat ashes?"

"The Ning family of Chaozhou really thought so, but the situation at that time was not good for Ning Chang. After all, he was so young, he was the number one scholar in high school. Little." Second Master Jiang slightly raised his eyebrows, "So, many students, scholars, and contemporaries couldn't help but spread the rumors, and even several court meetings, there were censors who attended him. .And the result of the quarrel was that he was thrown to the Hanlin Academy to study."

"Is this also the reason why he escaped that investigation?" Seeing Second Master Jiang nodding, Shen Cha thought for a while, "The people of the Ning family in Zhongzhou are afraid that they will be abandoned after Ningchang National High School, in order not to be abandoned. , They traveled all the way to Beijing, just to get some benefits for themselves, they completely tied themselves to this big ship of the Ning family in Chaozhou."

"That's true. Usually Han Chuang has studied hard for many years and finally passed high school. The family can indeed breathe a sigh of relief, and life at home can be easier." Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "Isn't this considered an insatiable achievement? They deserve it , if Ningchang Kingdom and Ning Clan of Chaozhou know how to repay their kindness, giving them a little benefit is nothing more than a little effort."

"Because of the Ning family in Zhongzhou." Second Master Jiang sneered, "Although the Ning family in Zhongzhou originated from the Ning family in Chaozhou, because they moved out for too long, they have long lost the demeanor of a famous family, and it is not easy to survive. , the Ning family is a small family in the eyes of the clans, which is why the Ning family in Chaozhou chose the Ning family. Although the impostor was very smooth, they did not expect that there would be a lot of trouble in the follow-up. The Ning family felt that Ning Chang Guo replaced his son, went to Beijing to catch the exam and went to high school, so their faces are also bright, and they should be able to get some benefits from this."

"That's almost what it means. If people from the Ning family in Zhongzhou stay in Ningzhou honestly and don't move, no one will take it seriously, but they are born in the first day of the imperial examination. He went to Beijing at night, and he didn't tell old man Ning, he didn't show up until the rankings were announced, so everyone knew that the family of the new champion came to see him."

"Throw it away when you're done using it. You think you don't need to maintain a relationship with this family when you're in high school, so you don't take them seriously, right?"

"Understood." Xue Ruitian nodded, "People's hearts are not enough, their appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and they may also threaten the Ning family of Chaozhou. If they don't agree to their conditions, they will expose the affairs of Ningchang Kingdom ,right?"

"Yeah, this move not only saved the old man, but also harmed him. Because the Ning family of Chaozhou did not agree to Zhongzhou's request for a long time, people from the Ning family of Zhongzhou often blocked Ningchang Kingdom. When you meet your classmates, or meet your teacher, you can see them following like a dog’s skin plaster, you say entanglement, they don’t entangle, they just pretend to meet by chance, say hello to Ning Changguo when they meet, and then introduce themselves to the person next to him Speaking of who, Ning Chang Kingdom behaved throughout the whole process... well, how should I put it? It shouldn't be particularly embarrassing or embarrassing, anyway, it's not very natural anyway. He was not very old at that time, and he was not as sophisticated as he was later, so, The dislike of the Ning family in Zhongzhou is all on the surface. Over time, there have been rumors in Xijing City that the number one scholar in Ningchang Guoning is not filial, and may want to abandon his parents and his family, and he does not want to recognize them. Specifically. What, I can’t remember clearly, I was very young at that time, and I didn’t have much memory, and later when I was investigating the old man, I found out about this, and I thought it seemed to be the case.”

"That's the way it is, yes, but there is still a big difference between a little favor and an endless demand, right?"

"Hanlin just said it to be nice, but in fact, that little money can't even support himself, let alone Zhongzhou Ning's family?"

"Indeed." Second Master Jiang drank two sips of tea, took a pear next to him, and gnawed on it, "The people of the Ning family saw that there were no officials, and they couldn't get any oil or water, so they just Hurry up and bid farewell to Ning Changguo, and leave Xijing City as quickly as possible."

"With Ningchang Kingdom's character of vengeance, he shouldn't tolerate the Ning family's approach in Zhongzhou, right?"

"Yes!" Second Master Jiang looked at Shen Cha, "What did you think of?"

"I wonder if there is a possibility that the Ning's family in Xijing will be confiscated, Ningchang's reputation will be discredited, and the Ning's children will no longer be able to become officials. Does this have nothing to do with the Ning family in Chaozhou, and they will not be affected at all? "
