Chapter 171 Tongliu
Chapter 171
More than ten days after Fang Datong disappeared, some villagers went up the mountain to cut firewood and passed through the mountain depression. Only then did they find that the grass shed in the mountain depression had been burned. There were a pile of new graves under the cliff, and there were traces of blood around them.
The villagers reported to the officials in panic. The government officials dug the grave and saw the ashes and the two embroidered spring knives buried together. According to the number on the knife, Fang Datong of the North Town Fusi had been buried here with another brocade guard, and the mystery of the disappearance was solved.
The government office of Zhenfu is naturally shocked, but the matter is full of mysteries and difficult to find out. How did Fang Datong come to meet a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi from Weizhou and how he was burned here? These are all unresolved mysteries. Some departments launched an investigation and did not see Fang Datong's disappearance before. There is something strange, but someone mentioned that Song Nan from Zhengnanfang visited Fang Datong before he disappeared.
However, when asked about Song Nan about this matter, Song Nan said that because he had worked together in the Jinyiwei Yamen in Weizhou, he came to visit and chat for a few days ago. After that, he went to the palace to read and did not find any similarity.
Jinyiwei Yamen will naturally not doubt Song Nan's head. It is normal for people who come out of Weizhou to visit and greet each other, and from Fang Datong's recent family affairs and performance, this person has basically been abolished. Although his death is a case, it does not make people feel sorry. On the contrary, Jin of Zhenfusi's public room While mourning, the guards also secretly lamented that there was no eye-catching guy talking on the side, which had to be said to be a kind of sadness.
The long-term investigation was fruitless, and the matter gradually faded. In the hearts of the senior management of Jinyiwei, the matter was probably attributed to the head of the East Factory. Mou Bin thought that this must be the secret revenge of the East Factory for Luo Fang's incident. Song Nan could not be moved, so he looked for an opportunity to kill the two Jinyiwei to vent his anger.
And Xiao Lang thought more deeply. Given that Feng Xi, a small flag of Jinyiwei in Weizhou, Xiao Lang naturally thought of going to Weizhou to transform Song Nan's identity into Jinyiwei. Fang Datong was fully aware of this matter. It may be the person from Dongchang, and the reason is that Dongchang wants to start from Fang Datong. Set the truth about the past.
Thinking this way, Mou Bin and Xiao Lang felt that Fang Datong's death was not wronged. People who ate inside and outside should have had such an end. The only thing to worry about was that Song Nan's identity details might be revealed by the East Factory. When this matter will happen is an unpredictable problem.
However, since Fan Heng has not launched for such a long time, he either wants to wait for the right time, or he has not got anything from Fang Datong at all. In a word, the case has become a mystery, and Mou Bin has also made up his mind not to pursue the matter desperately, so as not to force the Dongchang to do anything unexpected. If he holds the handle In the hands of Dongchang, in fact, it is not very lethal. There is no proof of death, and you can deny it at any time.
Fang Datong's death was silent in a few months. Most people have forgotten that there was such a person in the world. I have to say that this is Fang Datong's failure as a human being.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, and it is already March and spring. With the arrival of spring, the cold has faded, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty is even more vibrant.
Song Nan's official business in Zhengnanfang is well organized. She used the management of later generations to manage government services. She was much more relaxed and had a lot of free time. As the spring was getting stronger, Song Nan also took Ye Fanggu, Lu Qingli and others out for several spring outings. Picnics, camping on the grass and The exciting field battle made Song Nan shout. Ye Lu's children have been used to Song Nan's shamelessness. In short, it can be said to be enjoyed by it.
The little princess also went out twice. Although Song Nan did not dare to touch her, because Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun behind the little princess were not easy to provoke, Song Nan did not want to provoke them. However, the little princess openly camped with her family and stayed out all night, while Zhang Lun never came to trouble him. This made Song Nan is very unimaginable.
Why do Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun remain silent and tolerant? Have they acquiesced to this fact? Song Nan is unknown.
The errands in the East Palace are also leisurely. Yang Ting and his studies have relaxed a lot. Naturally, the prince is eager and in a good mood. The relationship between Song Nan and the prince basically does not talk about books and governing the country, which makes Zhu Houzhao feel that there is no pressure to think with Song Nan.
Moreover, there are countless patterns in Song Nan's stomach. There are not only more tennis courts in the backyard, but also basketball racks. With the germination of spring grass, a flat hillside in Long Live in the Imperial City has been designated by Song Nan as a future golf course. This is also a place that Zhu Houzhao is looking forward to having fun. So.
Song Nan also deliberately observed some strange things. Since Zhang Yong told herself some of Liu Jin's actions that day, Song Nan paid special attention to the prince's words and deeds. Sure enough, the prince got up early for a few days, and his eyes were dark and dark. Song Nan knew that Liu Jin had tried to let the prince enjoy it. Life is the most happy, and I'm afraid those bottles of ** will come in handy.
Song Nan pretended not to know about this matter, and it was not her turn to talk more. In her words, she also deliberately said some passages from the Ming and Qing Dynasties ** novels that later generations had read. Seeing that the prince listened with relish, she knew that the prince's interest in women had greatly increased.
Song Nan didn't want to have a rigid relationship with Liu Jin, so he found an opportunity to invite Liu Jin to go out of the palace alone. There was a conversation between the two to play dumb and push Tai Chi.
"Eunuch Liu, what do you think of me, Song Nan?" Song Nan looked at Liu Jin with a smile.
"Song Shi's literary and martial arts talent is a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty. He is also enthusiastic and righteous, and there are many tricks. His Royal Highness praises Song Shi's reading, which is very important, and gradually he can't be separated from Song Shi's reading." Liu Jinyan smiled heartfeltly.
Song Nan said, "Oh? Am I so heavy? I didn't expect it yet."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "What you should think about is that several of us privately think that Song Shi's reading is in the limelight and his future is unlimited."
Song Nan laughed and said, "Eunuch Liu praised me. I'm just a foreign official. As soon as His Royal Highness ascended the throne, I, the official of the prince's attendants, can step down. On the contrary, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang, you still have to serve His Royal Highness for a lifetime. The prince relies most is you."
Liu Jin raised her eyebrows and said, "Song Shidu, how can it be so easily to be forgotten from the grace of the dragon? If His Royal Highness ascends to the throne, Song Shidu's official position outside will also be promoted."
Song Nan smiled and said, "With the auspicious words of Mr. Liu, I would like to say a few good words for me in front of the prince one day."
Liu Jin laughed and said, "What's the use of my attendant father-in-law? Let's laugh."
Song Nan squint and said, "Eunuch Liu, the real person does not tell lies. As the saying goes, once the emperor and a courtier, if the prince ascends the throne, will Wang Yue and Fan Heng in the inner court still allow them to control Si Lijian? The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Royal Horse Supervisor, how can these key departments not fight for it? In that case, can Grandpa Liu be willing?
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble when Song Shi read this? I, Liu Jin, only dressed the prince. After the prince ascended the throne, I served the emperor wholeheartedly, but I didn't have the desire to fight for fame and fortune.
Song Nan said, "So that's it. I don't want Grandpa Liu to be an indifferent person with fame and fortune, but it seems that I'm too tacky. In short, I can't stand the affairs of the inner court. The reason why I say this is that I think Grandpa Liu is a good person. Just remind him, when I just said nothing."
Liu Jin suddenly understood Song Nan's intention to drink tea and chat with him. The words have been made clear that after the crown prince's accession to the throne, he will face a difficult battle for power. Wang Yue and Fanheng and others must be driven off the stage, and the official position of the inner court is not Song Nan's turn to insert a leg from it. He previously Nan regarded the danger of competing for favor as a little stupid. On the contrary, she should attract everyone around the prince at this time, instead of civil strife before facing the enemy.
Moreover, with Song Nan's position in the prince's heart, the prince will inevitably use Song Nan after his accession to the throne. It is absolutely impossible to withdraw from the prince's vision after leaving the prince as Song Nan said. Disputes in the inner court often need external force, especially the prince's idea. If Song Nan helps him, he will seize power in the future. We should be more confident.
The purpose of Song Nan's invitation to drink tea today is nothing more than to inform himself of these two points. First, there is no conflict of interest between the two. Second, there is a long way to go, so we need to make more plans and unite. These two points are a win-win solution for both for both him and Song Nan, and cooperation is the most correct choice between the two.
How smart Liu Jin is, these ideas quickly penetrated and accepted in his mind, and the resentment caused by jealousy before was quickly forgotten.
"Song Shidu, our family understands what you mean. Although our family does not talk about power in our eyes, as the saying goes, we must guard against others. If we don't provoke others, I'm afraid others will come to find our family's affairs. Therefore, our family believes that Song Shidu's words are still very pertinent." Liu Jin whispered.
Song Nan took a sip of tea and smiled, "Eunuch Liu is indeed extraordinary. In this case, I won't say much. Although we are the people around the prince, my strength is low, but if there is anything useful for me in the future, please open your mouth and never refuse."
Liu Jin laughed and said, "Okay, it's a deal. What's the appointment of Song Shidu? Our family will also do our best."
As he spoke, Liu Jin stretched out a white and tender hand. Song Nan stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "That's it, but before that, I have something to say to Eunuch Liu."
Liu Jin said, "Please speak."
Song Nan whispered, "Don't let His Royal Highness indulge in beauty. Beauty is the most time-consuming. The prince is young and may not be able to control it. Recently, there have been rumors that the prince likes ** pleasure. If the officials of the six departments of the foreign court cabinet fall into their ears and are afraid of being unfavorable to their father-in-law, please think twice."
Liu Jin was stunned and said, "Are there any rumors?"
Song Nan nodded and said, "Don't forget what I do. I'm a thousand guards. I have thousands of ears and eyes under my men. At present, it's just a path. There has been no rumor in the court. It's not seamless that you took His Royal Highness to visit the Zuichun Tower in Nanxunfang."
Liu Jin gave a thrill and arched his hand and said, "Our family understand. Thank you, Song Shid for reminding us that we will definitely persuade the prince."
Song Nan smiled and raised tea to respect each other. Liu Jin is a smart person. He will understand the secret, but there is no need for Song Nan to say clearly. In this Ming Dynasty court, if you want to live well, the people around the emperor must have a good relationship in the future. For Song Nan, Wang Yue and Fan Heng themselves can't climb high. There is no need to climb high. Just as discerning investors invest in potential stocks, the eight eunuchs around the prince are all potential stocks, and Song Nan will never abandon any of them during this period.
