Chapter 407 Hidden danger
Royal Palace.

political affairs hall.

The former Zhengshitang is where the current cabinet is located.

It is a large-scale courtyard building, and the main courtyard is the official office of Wen Zhuyu, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The west courtyard is the yamen of Shangshu province, and the east courtyard is the yamen of Menxia province and Zhongshu province.

Nian Chengfeng sat in the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, put down the pen in his hand, put his frozen hands on the charcoal fire beside him and roasted them, then stood up, beat his sore waist, and sat opposite him. The Guozijian Ji Winery on the side said goodbye:

"The Academy of the Tai Academy is spending a lot of time leaving the capital, but next year's Qiu Wei matter cannot be delayed because of him!"

"This matter is imminent. The three provinces have discussed and approved it, and the chief minister has also signed the decision."

"The regent said before he left that the imperial examination is the country's top priority!"

"To achieve openness, fairness, and justice in the true sense!"

"So from now on, the original recommendation system is completely banned!"

"All the students have passed the selection of the scientific examination to become officials, so this decision has to be sent to various places now. After all, students from remote places in Ningguo have to travel a long way to the capital."

"Next year's autumn will be held, the regent will be in Changle Palace...it is a good place, there are many, many empty houses for students to live in, but the Gongyuan still needs to be re-planned... Huang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has gone Changle Palace, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"As for the subject of the scientific examination, the regent ordered one question, and the rest of the questions will still be drawn up by your Guozijian. When the new year opens next year, all those who propose the subject will go to Changle Palace. The regent said that the matter is of great importance and absolutely not allowed to appear. Such a major error in the disclosure of the test questions."

"What other questions do you have?"

Zhuang Bieshi cupped his hands and saluted: "The lower officials have already understood the meaning of your lord and the regent, but...the selection of the person who made the proposition was previously hand-picked by the emperor. If the emperor is not in the palace, it is Ji Tai's appointment. Now... ...?"

"This matter, wait until the new year, the person who drafts the proposition in the provincial capital of Shangshu, now you will first convey the matter of next year's autumn to the school palaces, let the students in the school palaces know, so that you can leave for the capital early."

"Okay, the next officer takes orders!"

When Zhuang Bieshi bid farewell, a young eunuch hurried in.

He came in front of Nian Chengfeng, bowed and said, "Master Nian, there is an old man named Qian Guodong asking to see him outside, saying that he has something important to report to him face to face!"

Nian Chengfeng was startled, "Please come in!"

"The slave obeys!"

After a while, Qian Guodong came to the yamen of Zhongshu Province. He looked at Nian Chengfeng and grinned, bowed his hands and said:

"Young adults are old and strong!"

Nian Chengfeng raised his hands, "You old bastard, you live comfortably!"

"Hey, it's only because of your ability. I also want to give full play to it, but the regent doesn't like it!"

Nian Chengfeng glared, "Don't say that, there are still some vacancies in the court, by the way, why don't you continue to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs? Wen Shoufu is worrying about perfecting the constitution and not finding ideal people !"

"It's you!"

Nian Chengfeng pointed out, "You old bastard spent 20 years in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and more than ten years in Dali Temple. I think no one in the court can surpass you in mastering the law!"

Qian Guodong was stunned immediately.

His heart suddenly beat a little violently!
But he quickly calmed down, and his face became serious: "But that's not why I came to see you!"

"Why is that?"

"Have you heard the rumors about the regent and his daughter in Kyoto recently?"

Nian Chengfeng frowned, pondered for a moment, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Come, sit!"

The two sat in front of the tea table.

Nian Chengfeng made a pot of tea, and then nodded, "The rumors have been around for a few days, and Wen Shoufu suggested that the regent send the Imperial City Secretary to find out who spread the rumors...but the regent didn't not give a damn about."

Qian Guodong leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Then, is this true or not?"

"is true!"

Qian Guodong was startled, and heard Nian Chengfeng say again: "There is indeed a girl next to the regent, and she is indeed Xi Wei's daughter, it's true."

"But there are rumors that the regent and Xi Wei conspired to steal the country... This is nonsense!"

"Xi Wei is dead!"

"The regent did not ascend the throne as emperor, everyone knows that."

"Now he proposes to change the governance of the country from the rule of man to the rule of law. He advocates putting the imperial power under the law... Think about it, if he wants to steal the country, what he needs is the supreme authority. How can he let this power bound?"

Nian Chengfeng poured a cup of tea for Qian Guodong, and said, "Too many people don't know him well. In fact, I didn't know him well before this."

"Originally, I didn't plan to come to be an official again at this age. Originally, I recommended Wen Zhuyu to him."

"But these days, I accompanied Wen Zhuyu and listened to his thoughts on governing the country for a few days...I admit that he is the lamp of Ningguo!"

"That's why my heart has become active. I hope that I can do my part to realize these ideals of his. In fact, I also have selfishness in my heart!"

"Old money!"

Nian Chengfeng said earnestly, "This is an earth-shaking change!"

"Once it succeeds... we may be famous in history if we participate in this reformer!"

"People are alive, at our age, isn't it just for a name?"

"If you can make some contributions to the revision of the Constitution, your name will also be passed down through the ages with the Constitution!"

Qian Guodong's heart skipped a beat.

"This...then I will ask you to recommend it to Wen Shoufu!"

"Let's go now!"

"Wait a minute, I still think the rumors in the market need to be taken seriously!"

Qian Guodong tapped his finger on the table: "Old man, think about it, where there is no wind, there are no waves!"

"I think this is a huge hidden danger that cannot be underestimated!"

"The common people don't know that the regent's actions are for the great cause of Ningguo. They are uneducated and will be easily incited!"

"Besides, they have a very strong concept of the king in their bones. This is a deep-rooted concept that has been passed down for thousands of years!"

"Although Xi Wei is dead, Xi Wei's reputation among the people is extremely bad!"

"Now his daughter is with the Prince Regent. It is said... It is said that the relationship is still very close. Let alone how the common people will view the Prince Regent. What I am worried about is that people with ulterior motives will take advantage of this rumor!"

"For example... Mutiny on the grounds of recovering the Ningshi!"

"It's also like... the people in the world were instigated by him and launched the assassination of the regent!"

"The regent does not live in the palace, he lives in the plum garden. Although the plum garden is not far from the palace, it is the most dangerous part of the road!"

"I suggest that the regent draw a clear line with that Xi Wei's daughter... let the regent move to live in the palace!"

Nian Chengfeng's face also became serious, "I'm afraid it's hard to draw a clear line, and besides...the regent has left the capital!"

"what?!"

Qian Guodong suddenly became anxious:
"He is the regent! How could he leave the capital so easily!"

"Isn't this putting yourself at risk?!"

Nian Chengfeng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Because he is the regent, we can't control him!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Wen Zhuyu, and then I'll go to the Imperial City Division to find Wang Zhengjinzhong, the vice-president of the Imperial City Division."

"It would be better for the Imperial City Division to handle this matter!"

The two went to the main courtyard.

At the moment in the Imperial City Division, Wang Zheng Jinzhong was digging out a dark wooden box from under the crooked neck tree.

He opened the wooden box carefully.

For a moment, be shocked!
