Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 271 Fan Yu's net worth is not clean?
Hearing Jiang Qingshu's categorical answer, Crown Prince Jing Yuan immediately smiled heartily:
"OK!"

"Then I will wait for the good news from Brother Qingshu in the palace!"

Jiang Qingshu bowed and bowed:
"Qingshu will do his best!"

After all, he held his head up slightly, his body seemed to show a sharp edge, he changed his previous aloofness, and walked out step by step.

Beside Jing Yuan, Crown Princess Liu Rushi stared at this figure, with a flash of surprise in her eyes:
"Your Highness, this person seems to have changed."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly:

"Because of his special status, in the past, Brother Qingshu always showed an attitude of not fighting or grabbing in the capital. He was very aggressive, at least [-] points restrained! Even if he won the first place in the last exam, he still kept a lot of it!"

"Since Fan Yu's epiphany came to light, the ministers have been persuading me to win over this person as soon as possible and free up Brother Qingshu's seat."

"After all, the position of prime minister is reserved for those who are capable!"

"But I haven't wooed Fan Yu all this time, and even showed a bit of distaste for him. Do you know why?"

Liu Rushi was born in the Liu family in the south of the Yangtze River. She is a gentle and intelligent woman. After thinking about it for a while, she smiled and said:
"Is Your Highness trying to win Jiang Qingshu's trust?"

"The concubine can tell that this person doesn't care about anything on the surface, but he is extremely arrogant in his heart. If His Royal Highness wins over Fan Yu, Jiang Qingshu will not stop him, and will even offer advice, but it is very likely that he will not devote himself to His Highness afterwards. ,after all……"

"His elder brother has a grudge against Fan Yu."

"but……"

"The concubine thinks that it is all right for His Highness to win over Fan Yu. Then, if Jiang Qingshu becomes a prime minister with power in the future, there will be someone who can check and balance!"

The power of the Beibei Palace is too great. If the vassal is not cut, then in the future there will be Jiang Qingyu holding the fiefs of three states, 10,000+ Anbei Army, Jiang Qingshu will be the prime minister in the court, and the two brothers will be extremely human ministers , no matter how tolerant Jing Yuan is, he can't sit idly by!
Jing Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched Liu Rushi's nose, and said with a smile:

"you're right."

"I really need to find someone to check and balance Brother Qingshu."

"However, Fan Yu is not the right candidate."

Liu Rushi frowned:
"Why?"

"Is it because Fan Yu may become the next Jijiu of Jixia Academy, so he can't enter the court as an official?"

"Or……"

"Your Highness thinks he is not Jiang Qingshu's opponent?"

Jing Yuan held Liu Rushi's hand and stroked it lightly:

"No."

"I just suspect that this person's net worth is not innocent!"

Liu Rushi blinked, not daring to say anything:
"how is this possible?"

"As far as my concubine knows, Mr. Fan Yu entered Beijing at the age of 20 and has been studying in Jixia Academy for 13 years. He has a very good reputation in the academy and has never had any scandals. If there is a problem with his origin, what about Mr. Xun? He will be trained as the next sacrificial wine, how can His Majesty betroth Princess Jingli to him?"

Compared with Jiang Qingshu, who won the first place in the last school test, Fan Yu, who had an epiphany in March last year, has a better reputation among the people in the capital and among the officials!

Many people thought that Jiang Qingshu hated the royal family and approached Prince Jing Yuan for impure purposes, and one day he would bite the royal family back!
So much so that even if he is the celebrity next to Jing Yuan, the most promising student of Jixia Academy who will realize his innate talent, no powerful person would dare to make friends with him.

But the metaphor is different.

Before he had an epiphany, his reputation among the students of Jixia Academy was no worse than that of Jiang Qingshu, and he had already gathered a large number of fans around him. At least ten nights a month were spent at the homes of the officials. At the banquet, including Sangong, everyone praised his poems in public!
After becoming innate, this phenomenon intensified.

As far as Liu Rushi knew, since last May, Fan Yu has been going to a banquet every two or three days, and he never refuses all kinds of gifts from the banquet host.

Last winter, he even took in a 12-year-old accompanying girl.

In her opinion, if Jiang Qingshu is an arrogant gentleman who will form his own faction in the court and will not join forces with other parties, then Fan Yu is a bohemian and prodigal son who makes many friends. , will definitely mingle with the rest of the parties, both ways!

These two people have very different personalities, but they are both rare talents. If they can all be subdued, it will be much easier for Jing Yuan to sit on the throne in the future.

But Jing Yuan said...

Fan Yu's net worth is not innocent!
"Fan Yu entered Beijing when he was 20 years old. Just like in Beijing, he went to Jixia Academy to study. But at that time, he only had some scraps of silver and a dozen copper coins, which were not enough for tuition fees. His academic views were also very mediocre, so the guards stopped him. It's outside the door."

"This person is also a wonderful person. After being blocked, he first went to the market to buy a jug of spirits and a few Confucian books, and then came to the gate of the academy to keep warm while pouring wine while reciting aloud."

"It was a snowy morning, before dawn, and the students in the academy were still nestled in the bedding. They rushed to the door after being woken up by the sound of reading aloud, scolding Fan Yu for not being polite! Some even announced that they would talk to the academy. Say hello to the high-level people in the middle school, and prevent them from entering the palace to study!"

"Fortunately, Cheng Zhe passed by at that time, and I don't know whether he saw something extraordinary about Fan Yu or felt sorry for him. Not only did he take the initiative to advance the tuition fee for him, but he also took him as his student and led him into Jixia. The door of the academy."

"Since then, Fan Yu has been out of control."

"This person's later progress in academic attainments frightened many students and gentlemen. He entered Jixia Academy for 13 years and took [-] academic examinations. He won the first place four times!"

"Brother Qingshu only took it once last year!"

Jing Yuan smiled:
"Of course, Brother Qing Shu has been hiding his clumsiness. If he tries his best again and again, he will definitely be able to steal Fan Yu's limelight."

"..."

Liu Rushi was speechless.

Her husband trusts Jiang Qingshu's ability to the point of blindness!

"What does His Highness say have anything to do with his innocence?"

Jing Yuan restrained his smile:

"Nature is related."

"When this person first entered the capital, his academic foundation was in a mess! Not only could he not memorize a few complete Confucian works, he had never even read "History of Chu"!"

"If it weren't for that, how could the guards of Jixia Academy stop him from the door without even a notification?"

Liu Rushi was slightly taken aback.

It is understandable that he cannot recite a few complete Confucian works, but it is very surprising that he has not read "History of Chu".

"Could it be..."

"Isn't this person from Chu?"

If you don't come from Chu, you are either a remnant of the previous dynasty, or a foreign race from all over the world!
Whether it is the former or the latter, sneaking into Jixia Academy must have no good intentions!
"This...haven't found out yet."

Jing Yuan smiled wryly:
"The Yinggou people have been investigating, and even the emperor entrusted Huamanlou and the people from the Meteor Pavilion to investigate together, but they couldn't find out what happened!"

"To be honest, I don't think Fan Yu is a remnant of the previous dynasty or a foreigner, because the traitors who sneaked into the capital from these forces in the past have all undergone strict training without exception, and they all know "History of Chu" by heart!"

"If Fan Yu is really assigned by them, then it can only be said that this person's acting skills are too terrifying!"

Liu Rushi frowned and said:

"Why not ask directly?"

"How does Fan Yu explain his origin?"

Jing Yuan looked serious:
"He said that he was from Yizhou. He lost his father when he was young and was brought up by his biological mother. When he was 16, his biological mother died of illness. After he buried her, he kept mourning for three years. Later, he came to the capital alone to study."

"The people from Yinggou went to Yizhou to check. There is indeed such a poor scholar named Fan Yu, but..."

"That man's talent in learning is not outstanding, and his conduct is a bit bad. He studies all day just to get a good name in the exam one day, and return to his hometown to marry a pretty daughter of a landlord surnamed Li whom he once molested!"

"..."

Liu Ru was silent for a while.

Although Fan Yu is unrestrained, she has never done anything insulting to the gentleman, and has always kept herself clean. She ignores suitors who are like crucian carp crossing the river, and her reputation in Jixia Academy is also very good. She It's really hard to imagine that this person would actually molested the daughter of a landlord's family!
"His Highness's suspicion is not unreasonable."

Liu Rushi agreed.

If it is just an ordinary student, then there is no need to search for the bottom line, but the example is different, this person is likely to become the next sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy!
So there must be no mistake in his identity!
If this person has any ulterior motives, and gets the resources of the royal family and the academy, and is lucky enough to become a star-seeking existence like Mr. Xun Yong in the future, then the entire Jing family line, except for the ancestor Jing Yang, will be at risk of death. risk!

"So, His Highness sent Jiang Qingshu to play chess with Fan Yu, is it to test him?"

Jing Yuan looked up at Mingyue and said in a low voice:

"It's hard to tell whether this person is innocent or not. So I chose to draw a line with him and try to minimize the royal family and the academy's inclination towards his resources."

"I don't ask Brother Qingshu to find out anything, I just hope that he can beat Fan Yu, prove that he is also qualified to compete for sacrificial wine, and prevent this marriage."

"After all, if Jing Li marries Fan Yu, then he is too deeply involved with my Jing clan!"

"Once something happens in the future, it won't be easy to kill!"

He paused and said again:

"Speaking of which, the current two most outstanding students of Jixia Academy have some problems with their wealth. One may have a fake identity, and the other is a proton whose father is a king of a different surname who holds the fiefs of three states!"

"These two people, my father and I don't want them to be the next sacrificial wine!"

"Fortunately, Mr. Xun is a star, and his life expectancy is 300 years, so he is not in a hurry to give up his position."

Liu Rushi heard the words, and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty also doesn't want Princess Jingli to marry Fan Yu?"

Jing Yuan said frankly:
"That's natural."

"Without the support of my father, how dare I make a promise to help Brother Qingshu prevent this marriage?"

Liu Rushi nodded.

She wasn't stupid enough to ask why Jing Hong didn't want to recruit Fan Yu as his son-in-law, but insisted on ordering a marriage.

As the emperor, even if he had doubts about Fan Yu, but he had no evidence in his hands, and in order not to chill the hearts of scholars in the world, he could only order a marriage as before, and give other students a hope!
But Jing Yuan was able to use his identity as the prince to show up to prevent this marriage gift in the name of agreeing to the request of his friend and confidant Jiang Qingshu!
I believe that people in the world will not criticize him afterwards, but will praise him for respecting talents and emphasizing love and righteousness.

And Jiang Qingshu himself would owe him a huge favor.

Jing Yuan knew Jiang Qingshu very well, he was very principled in his work, and he would definitely pay back favors he owed!
And as long as I don't give the other party a chance to repay this favor, then he will always stay by my side.

This is also one of the reasons why Jing Yuan has always taken good care of Lu Wan'er and Jiang Qingshu's mother and son.

"Does Your Highness trust Jiang Qingshu that much?"

"If this person loses, wouldn't the plan between your Majesty and you come to nothing?"

Liu Rushi raised his own doubts.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yuan smiled confidently:
"You don't understand Brother Qingshu."

"He treats that elder brother with extraordinary pampering!"

"Calculating the time, Jiang Qingyu will enter the capital around tomorrow evening. For the sake of his younger brother, Qing Shu, even if he is weak, he will definitely drag the chess game until that hour!"

"What's more, I think Brother Qingshu has a [-]% chance of winning!"

Liu Rushi blinked:
"But……"

"Didn't Your Majesty arrange a group of dead men to prevent the son of the Prince of the North from entering Beijing?"

"Tomorrow evening, will he arrive in the capital on time?"

Jing Yuan glanced at the banquet scene after the guests had left, recalling that many people secretly glanced at Jiang Qingshu with the eyes of seeing a joke just now, and couldn't help sneering:
"With the mob gathered from this group of people, how could it be possible to stop Jiang Qingyu and the Anbei Army under his command who traveled hundreds of miles north to wipe out the Golden Eagle Cavalry?"

"What's more, there are a group of killers from Huamanlou secretly guarding the other party!"

Liu Rushi became more and more confused:

"It can't be killed or stopped, so why..."

Jing Yuan explained:
"You do not understand."

"The courtiers in the court kept insulting Jiang Qiushui and his son, but they might not have the idea of ​​admiring the two of them in their hearts."

"This kind of incongruity is what the father doesn't want to see."

"So, he asked the officials to send out slaves to form a team to assassinate Jiang Qingyu. The purpose was not to kill or stop the opponent, but to..."

"Let the two sides be enmity!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Rushi immediately understood.

Jing Hong is going to completely isolate and reject the North Palace in the court!
Just paying thousands of lives, the price seems a bit high.

Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor's family!

At this time, a little eunuch bowed his head and walked up to the two of them, and said:

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, the eagle dog monitoring Princess Jing Li has received news. Her Royal Highness begged Yan Gao to take her out of the palace and go to the north gate, saying that she wanted to personally welcome the son of the Prince of Refubei to enter the capital."

Liu Rushi frowned and said sternly:

"Bullshit!"

"Tomorrow is Jing Li and Fan Yu's big day! She didn't stay in the palace to get married, but went to the north gate to pick up some son. What's wrong with that? Where is my royal face?"

The little eunuch lowered his head:
"Then the subordinate ordered someone to stop Yan Gao and Princess Jing Li?"

Liu Rushi was about to agree, but Jing Yuan at the side reached out to stop her.

"Do not."

He looked at the little eunuch and said with a smile:
"I'm just trying to find an excuse to invite this Prince of Rejection to come to my residence to discuss state affairs!"

"No, is there an excuse!"

"Give me an order to secretly release the two of them out of the palace, but don't be too slack in the defense, lest you lose your tongue afterwards!"

The little eunuch answered "No."

The next moment, Jing Yuan looked at Liu Rushi again:

"If so, tomorrow morning, go to your mother's backyard to borrow fifty dragon carps. When Prince Jubei's son comes to the mansion, I will invite him to watch the fish leap over the dragon's gate."

Liu Rushi rolled his eyes at him:
"Why don't you go by yourself?"

Jing Yuan put his arms around his shoulders and said dotingly:

"I'm afraid of being scolded by the queen mother!"

"The last time I borrowed twenty dragon carps, I was lectured by her for half an hour!"

"You are different. The queen mother loves you, and she can't bear to scold you!"

Liu Rushi smiled and thumped the opponent's chest:

"Hmph, deserve it!"

"Who asked you to borrow it and never pay it back!"
