Chapter 237: Your Majesty and the Queen, both are powerful people

Xia Yaomo, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, saw Yang Guofu and immediately bowed and said, "Master Yang."

Xia Yaomo was greatly influenced by his father, so he didn't care much about the affairs of the court.

But not caring does not mean not knowing. According to his father, King An, 'You can not ask, say or do anything, but you must not not know, think or worry.'

So Xia Yaomo listened to his father, the king, and his mother talking about the current situation in the capital along the way, and he also knew something about the Yang family's affairs.

but.

Yang Guofu's behavior today surprised him a little. He felt that this Lord Yang was so good at flattering.

But this does not mean that he will feel close to Yang Guofu. He still thinks that the one-eyed fat man in front of him is the one-eyed pig in his father's mouth. However, after experiencing tonight, he gave Yang Guofu another label: Flatterer Yang.

Yang Guofu looked at Xia Yaomo and immediately became terrified. He quickly saluted and said, "How can your Highness salute me like this? I am just a doctor in the Ministry of Works. I can't bear this responsibility. I can't bear this responsibility."

Xia Yaomo was confused for a moment.

But before Xia Yaomo could speak.

Yang Guofu smiled and said, "Your Highness, what I said today is from the bottom of my heart, and the campaign to eradicate gangsters and evildoers is still in full swing, but there are too many people involved, so the progress may be a little slow. Please inform the Queen and His Majesty, but please rest assured!"

At this point, Yang Guofu said with a righteous look on his face: "It is urgent to eliminate gangs and evil. After these days, I have come into contact with them and found out that there are so many dirty things under the feet of our Great Xia Emperor! Therefore, I will do my best to eradicate these evil things in the capital before your Majesty and your Majesty's wedding day! In the name of your Majesty and your Majesty, I will return peace to the people and let the barbarians who have presented tributes to the court see how kind and virtuous our Great Xia Emperor and Queen are."

At the end, Yang Guofu bowed to Xia Yaomo again, then smiled and said, "In that case, I have nothing else to do, so I'll take my leave first. But Your Highness, has Prince An also come to the capital? Prince An and I used to study under the late Master Yu, so we were classmates. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so I should have a banquet in the mansion, but I'm really busy with the errands entrusted by the queen, so I'm afraid I can only postpone it. But please tell me your gratitude, and I can count it as owing Prince An this banquet."

Xia Yaomo immediately said, "Thank you Sir Yang for your kindness, but my father and mother will not be able to enter the capital for a few days. When they arrive, I will inform Sir Yang of your kindness."

Hearing this, Yang Guofu understood more clearly, and then bowed with a smile: "Then I will take my leave first. I have to go back to Jingzhao Prefecture to continue the interrogation."

Xia Yaomo immediately said, "Goodbye, Sir Yang."

Yang Guofu smiled slightly, bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the carriage that Yang Shanchang had just gotten into.

But in fact, Yang Guofu had a jade pendant in his sleeve, and he was thinking of giving it to Xia Yaomo, but when it really came in front of him, he felt that he could not give it to her, and he could not make any unnecessary moves!

Otherwise, if Xia Yaomo caught him at the end, wouldn't his flattery be in vain? The wine he poured into his eyes was also in vain, as his eyes still feel a little uncomfortable!

but

Looking at Yang Guofu's back, Xia Yaomo frowned, thinking that this man was quite strange. He suddenly said a lot of inexplicable words.

You also want me to tell my sister and the emperor's sister-in-law, can't you just go and tell them in person? Why do you want me to tell you?

But after thinking about it, Xia Yaomo decided to write it down first and not tell anyone about it. What if Yang Guofu had any intentions? He would wait until his father came and tell his father before making a decision. This would prevent him from getting involved in any trouble with Yang's party.

Mu Xu ran out at this time and came close to Xia Yaomo: "Your Highness, it's a nice night tonight."

Xia Yaomo was surprised, then thought that Mu Xu was talking about the Banquet of Grace, so he nodded: "Yeah, it's good."

After hearing this, Mu Xu glanced at Yang Guofu's back and thought that it was quite true. The flattery was incredible!

So he bowed to Xia Yaomo.

Xia Yaomo looked at Mu Xu and was a little surprised why the Lord Chief Priest suddenly asked him this question.

"Yao Mo." Just when Xia Yaomo was thinking this in his heart, he heard the voice again.

Looking back, I saw it was Old Master Su, Su Zimu, and Su Linhan.

Xia Yaomo immediately bowed and said, "Grand Master, Lord Su, Miss Linhan."

Su Wenqing smiled and said, "Your father and I are old acquaintances. There's no need to be so formal. How about you leave with me in a carriage?"

Before Xia Yaomo could say anything, Su Wenqing grabbed Xia Yaomo and said, "Let's go. The old man is going back alone. Your uncle Su has to go to the government office to work, and Miss Linhan is going to have a small gathering with her friends. It will be lonely for an old man like me to go back alone, and I also have something I want to ask you."

Without giving Xia Yaomo any chance to refuse, Su Wenqing had already pulled Xia Yaomo to the side of the carriage that was already approaching.

Xia Yaomo actually wanted to say that he wanted to go back alone, to see if there was anything fun on the way, or to see if he could meet the girl he liked. After all, the Queen's sister-in-law said today, "Walk more and see more, you never know when you might meet love around the corner."

But looking at Su Wenqing's appearance, Xia Yaomo felt a little depressed, but he had no choice but to get on the carriage.

Seeing Xia Yaomo being put into the carriage by Su Wenqing, Mu Xu smiled slightly, then hunched over with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the street without getting in the carriage.

Beside him were Yan Shu, Lu Xiufu and Xun Kuang.

But Mu Xu suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Yan Shu and asked, "Yan Shu."

Yan Shu immediately bowed and said, "Dean."

Mu Xu smiled and said, "See everything that happened tonight."

Yan Shu nodded: "Yes."

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Was it exciting tonight?"

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "Dean, I dare not speak nonsense before I join the game."

Mu Xu smiled and said nothing more, but looked at Lu Xiufeng.

Looking at this young man who has a Confucian temperament but a resolute face and a warrior temperament, he laughed and scolded: "If I ask you to come to the Grace Feast tonight and read less military books, will it cost you your life?"

Lu Xiufu smiled bitterly and said, "Dean, I didn't say anything."

Mu Xu was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Xiufu, and instead said, "Xiufu's path is completely different from yours, but in the final analysis, you still have to be an official of Daxia. Your Majesty has the final say on how you two perform in the palace examination. What kind of official you can be and what kind of official you want to be in the future is up to you to decide, not me. But remember, everything in the officialdom is regulated, how the seats are arranged, who sits where, who speaks first, and who says what, all of them are inseparable from the word normal. But if someone's seat is moved a little, or the order in which someone speaks is changed, it means that there is a change."

After hearing this, Yan Shu and Lu Xiufu bowed immediately and then thought about it carefully.

Mu Xu smiled and said, "You two fools, go home tonight and think carefully about everything that old man Su Wenqing said to me tonight, as well as what Yang Shanchang and Yang Guofu did and said, especially why Yang Guofu acted like that. Think more about it. This feast of grace is your first lesson in the officialdom. If you think it through, you will live comfortably in the future. If you don't, you will suffer in the future."

This time, not only Yan Shu and Lu Xiufu, but also Xun Kuang paid their respects.

Looking at Xun Kuang, Mu Xu scolded, "Take the students and have fun! They have all passed the exam, and you, as the Dean, have to spend money. You should have more fun tonight, and you can rest assured after you have had enough. Then, regarding the wedding gift for His Majesty and the Empress, our Imperial College has to prepare something. There are rules for this, and we can't delay it. In a blink of an eye, the Empress will return to the Su Mansion to start the ceremony. Seriously speaking, the moment the Empress returns to the Su Mansion, the wedding will be considered to have begun."

Xun Kuang nodded and said, "We are already working on it, but we have to wait for Lord Yan Ciyan to come back and confirm whether the medical school will be incorporated into the Imperial College or become a separate institute, otherwise it will be difficult to write on the list."

Mu Xu nodded: "Okay, stop following me, go play, I'm going to stroll home."

After saying this, Mu Xu waved his hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked away staggeringly.

Xun Kuang and others bowed and saw him off.

but

Mu Xu looked at the carriage leaving his side, especially when he saw the word "Yang" on the carriage, the old man smiled. He thought that Yang Guofu had been scared enough tonight. After all, Zhao Yulang had been like that, how could he not be scared enough.

Inside the Yang family carriage.

Yang Guofu naturally saw Mu Xu, but he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Yang Shanchang and said, "Dad, Prince An was just taken to the carriage by Su Wenqing."

Yang Shanchang just said "hmm" and said nothing.

Yang Guofu looked at Yang Shanchang and continued, "Prince An and his men haven't arrived yet, which means Xia Yaomo has arrived in Beijing in advance. I think it should be His Majesty."

When he said this, Yang Guofu saw Yang Shanchang open his eyes, so he stopped talking and just looked at his father.

Yang Shanchang said, "How is the preparation for the wedding gift between His Majesty and His Majesty going?"

Hearing his father's words being completely different from his own, he was a little stunned, but still said respectfully: "I'm still looking, but I've found some rare items. I wanted to select them, but after thinking about it, I decided to send them all at once. But I'm not sure about the details, especially since the Queen will be returning to the Su Mansion at the end of the month. We will also send some things then. You should choose what to send, Dad."

Yang Shanchang looked at Yang Guofu: "Guofu~~"

When Yang Guofu heard this, he immediately said, "My son is here."

Yang Shanchang's eyes flashed with a light that was usually hidden. He looked at Yang Guofu and asked, "You, are you hiding something from me?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Guofu was stunned and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about? What can your son hide from you?"

Yang Shanchang stared at Yang Guofu, his eyes as sharp as an eagle: "Brothers fight together to fight tigers, fathers and sons fight together in battle, but we must first make our own people proud!"

Yang Guofu was surprised, but immediately understood the meaning of these words and immediately became anxious: "Dad! Your son really has nothing to hide from you!"

Yang Shanchang stared at Yang Guofu, "Then tell me, why did His Majesty and the Queen send Xia Yaomo to keep an eye on you? And why did they send a child who looked so inconspicuous to keep an eye on you? Yu Lang secretly saved many officials who gave him money, but His Majesty and the Queen came to him and set up a trap for him. Did you do the same thing?"

Yang Guofu was completely anxious, and immediately said, "Dad! I really didn't do that, and with Luo Anxu next to me, how dare I do it! What's more, I did it before, but it was all discovered by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. I almost lost my official hat. How dare I do it? You know how many people I killed this time and how much money I lost. Now when my name Yang Guofu is mentioned, many people who followed us in the past have started to scold me."

"And my son is also wondering why I did a good job in this matter and lost weight because of it, but His Majesty and the Queen are still not satisfied."

Seeing Yang Guofu like this, Yang Shanchang's eyes softened: "Sit down and talk."

Yang Guofu pursed his lips and sat back down.

Yang Shanchang sighed, "The clouds are in the sky and the water is in the bottle. Your Majesty said that some of us are clouds and some are water, each with their own duties. But Your Majesty didn't say who the blue sky is. Clouds and water, can they both hide from the sky? You'd better not hide anything, otherwise no one can save you, and no one can save our Yang family."

Yang Guofu knew that his father did not completely believe in him, and he was a little anxious, but he knew that no matter how he explained, he could not make it clear, so he could only nod. However, he was still wondering in his heart why His Majesty and the Queen sent Xia Yaomo to cause trouble for him. It couldn't be that they just came to him because they thought of it.

No matter how cruel and ruthless they are, this is not the way to do things. Those two people would not do such a thing.

so.

Yang Guofu is so upset.

But at this time, there were some conflicting sounds outside.

Yang Shanchang opened the curtain and saw that several foreign merchants were arguing with Daxia merchants. Yang Shanchang said, "The New Year is approaching. This year's New Year is different from previous years. The wedding of His Majesty and the Empress will surpass the excitement of the New Year. Now that the news has spread, more and more people will come to the capital. You are responsible for the task of eliminating gangs and evil, and you will encounter more and more things like this. Everything will go smoothly."

"Your Majesty and His Majesty did not show up tonight, but they sent Xia Yaomo here. But who knows where he is watching. It's only thanks to you that you were smart tonight and figured it out. Otherwise, if there were any omissions, I wouldn't be able to save you!"

"These two are increasingly fond of making incognito visits, so go back and tell Jing Qing to change his temper and not do anything outside. I heard that His Majesty sent someone to the Ministry of Personnel this afternoon to inquire about Guo Cheng's transfer order, and also sent someone to the home of Zhang Ren, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, to reprimand him. Guo Cheng was transferred to the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice because of a drunken remark made by a person in the Ministry of Personnel, but it reached His Majesty's ears. And Zhang Ren was reprimanded because he told his nephew about the cheating in the imperial examination. His Majesty knows everything that the family members said."

"You can imagine how powerful our emperor is now, so you should be more careful when talking to Jing Qing in the future. Now, whether it's the emperor or the queen who we all thought was a village girl, they are no longer pretending to be queens, and each one is more powerful than the other."

At the end, Yang Shanchang sighed.

Hearing this, Yang Guofu swallowed his saliva. It was the first time he heard about the affair between Guo Cheng and Zhang Ren, but thinking about it was horrifying. He also felt that it was no wonder that His Majesty and the Queen planned so many things so well.

Yang Shanchang thought of something and said, "Oh, right. The King of Shu sent a memorial and said he was sick. It is his daughter and some officials from Shu who will attend the wedding banquet. If they come to you, you should receive them and accept everything they send you. But remember, write down everything they say and send it to Your Majesty. If it is his daughter who comes to you personally, you will not see that the King of Shu's daughter has made her brothers and sisters and the officials of Shu obedient by herself. Her methods are only high-level, not low-level. If you can avoid them, avoid them."

Yang Guofu nodded again, but before he could speak again.

The driver's voice came from outside the carriage: "Sir, the Dali Temple has sent someone to deliver a letter."

Yang Guofu saw Yang Shanchang nod.

Yang Guofu immediately drew aside the curtain and saw a young man holding a letter.

The young man holding the sword immediately said, "Master Taifu, Master Yang, Master Dugu asked me to give this letter to you."

As he spoke, the young man handed the letter in his hand to Yang Guofu.

Yang Guofu immediately said, "Thank you! I don't know what to call you."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am Lianqiao."

Yang Guofu thought he had never heard of this name, but he still said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Lianqiao. I will treat you to a drink someday."

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that she didn't have much money, so she hadn't had a good meal for a long time, so she looked at Yang Guofu and asked, "When?"

Yang Guofu was stunned for a moment, looking at Lian Qiao in surprise, but he was too lazy to say anything more so he said, "Some other day, some other day."

Then he lowered the curtain and immediately handed the letter to his father.

But Lian Qiao frowned outside the carriage. When will it be another day? Why do people in the capital like to play charades so much?

And right inside the carriage, Yang Shanchang opened the letter.

The above sentence was written by Dugu Ruyuan.

"Your Majesty is reviewing the memorials. Ask Lang, what for? Ask Yang, what for?"

See this sentence.

Yang Shanchang and Yang Guofu were both stunned.

Lang, of course, is Zhao Yulang.

But Yang.

Should I ask Yang Shanchang or Yang Guofu?

Or maybe both of them are asking.

Here, Yang Shanchang received the oral order passed on by Dugu Ruyuan.

And on Su Wenqing's carriage.

The old master kept his eyes closed and said nothing.

Xia Yaomo, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable seeing Su Wenqing saying nothing, so he looked outside and secretly glanced at Su Wenqing.

Su Wenqing opened his eyes slightly and said, "Don't look outside, no one is following us."

Xia Yaomo was stunned for a moment. Follow?

But Su Wenqing continued, "Do you remember what Yang Guofu said today?"

Xia Yaomo was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said seriously: "No."

Su Wenqing smiled and said, "That's how silly I am."

Su Wenqing felt that Xia Yaomo was sent by His Majesty and the Queen, and the reason why they sent Xia Yaomo was because of this young and foolish look and stupidity, because he was not easy to deal with.

Otherwise, if we send someone smarter, Yang Shanchang and his men will be easily dealt with.

After all, the dumber a person is, the harder it is to guess what he will do or say.

Xia Yaomo looked at Su Wenqing, feeling a little unhappy. Today, apart from his sister and the Empress Dowager's wife saying that he was stupid, Old Master Su also said the same thing.

However, Su Wenqing continued, "When you go down to see His Majesty and the Queen, remember to tell them everything, don't hide anything. I pulled you into the carriage to prevent you from being harassed by Yang Guofu again. That one-eyed wolf is now frightened by the Queen and His Majesty. You little brat, I haven't seen you for so long, I didn't expect you to be more capable than your father."

Xia Yaomo blinked and looked at Su Wenqing with her big watery eyes, which were full of clarity.

What?

What did the old master say?

Why would I go to see my sister and the emperor's wife? What else can I do? Does Yang Guofu being frightened have anything to do with me? Will I be harassed by Yang Guofu?

Thinking of this, Xia Yaomo swallowed his saliva, because he couldn't understand it at all!

Su Wenqing looked at Xia Yaomo who was still pretending and just smiled. Anyway, His Majesty must have guessed about this matter a long time ago. Mu Xu and Yang Shanchang could all see it.

However, Su Wenqing looked outside and said with a smile: "It's almost time, you can get off here and go to see the emperor. Remember to tell His Majesty what we talked about, don't hide it."

Xia Yaomo pursed his lips: "No, old master, I..."

When it comes to here.

The carriage stopped, and Su Wenqing looked at Xia Yaomo and said, "Okay, go ahead. Don't keep His Majesty and the others waiting for too long."

Xia Yaomo was still confused, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Wenqing waving his hand, so he subconsciously got out of the car, thinking that it would be the same after getting off the car.

But as soon as he got out of the car, he saw the carriage leaving.

Only Xia Yaomo was left blinking, standing there in a daze.

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!”

But at this moment, Xia Yaomo heard a sound not far away. He turned around and saw a horse rushing towards him.

Xia Yaomo took a breath, but after all he had practiced some martial arts, so he reacted immediately and tried to dodge.

But the next moment.

He saw the man on the horse jump up and then fall down holding the horse's head.

With a loud bang!

Xia Yaomo gasped again, looking at the silent young swordsman with a look of astonishment, what a master! !

The young swordsman was naturally Lian Qiao. He looked at Xia Yaomo and said directly, "You are risking your life! Standing in the middle of the road, didn't you hear the sound of horse hooves?"
