Huaiqing did not want Su Nan to be in danger in Yunzhou, so he spoke up!

After Huaiqing finished speaking, Chu Yuanzhen, number four, also spoke up.

[Part Four: Su Zhexian was indeed an interesting person, it's a pity I never had the chance to meet him, and it's a pity that such an immortal was also caught up in the chaos of the world.]

Chu Yuanzhen, a scholar, held this poet from southern Jiangsu in the highest esteem.

His only wish upon returning to Kyoto was to enjoy a drink with Su Zhexian!

[Six: Su Zhexian... is a good person, Number Two, please don't hurt him.]

Hengyuan also remembers the life-saving grace from southern Jiangsu.

Since it concerned southern Jiangsu, he had no choice but to speak up.

Li Miaozhen was about to explode as she read the remarks made by the members of the Heaven and Earth Society.

When did I ever say I was going to hurt him?

I only mentioned it briefly, and you all got this nervous?!

[Five: You all seem quite interested in this Su Nan. Is he really that powerful? When I get to the capital of Da Feng, I'll definitely go and see for myself, to see if he really has three heads and six arms.]

[Second: I was merely curious about this person, with no ill intentions. Today at the banquet in Yunzhou, Su Nan revealed the secret of seedless loquats in a single sentence, which surprised me somewhat.]

Li Miaozhen gritted her teeth and sent the message.

[Second: Number One, you said this person has the ability to solve cases, so can he prove Yang Chuannan's innocence?]

Seeing that Li Miaozhen had no ill intentions towards Su Nan, everyone was somewhat relieved.

Huaiqing thought for a moment and then shared some news from southern Jiangsu.

[One: This person solved the tax silver case solely based on the case files, and within a day, he had thoroughly investigated the details of the Sangbo case, as you all know.]

[One: Su Nan was even more proficient in alchemy; even Song Qing, the personal disciple of the Imperial Alchemist, treated him as a teacher.]

[One: I believe he can help Yang Chuannan prove his innocence. Two, instead of hindering Su Nan, you should help him find out the truth.]

【…】

Looking at the information about Southern Jiangsu provided by Number One, Li Miaozhen fell into deep thought.

So this guy is really that powerful.

Could I share some of the clues I have with him?

Maybe it can really prove Yang Chuannan's innocence!

But... this guy looks like a pervert, can he be trusted?

Before cooperating with Su Nan, I need to give him a try!

After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot be handled recklessly.

【Second: I'll consider it. I've heard this person enjoys fine wine and beautiful women. I happen to have a decent charm on hand, so I'll go and give him a try!】

If he passes the test, I will cooperate with him to investigate Yang Chuan's alleged collusion with bandits in the south!

Even if he fails the test, I will do my best to protect him while we are in Yunzhou!

[One: That's excellent.]

[Four: It's rare that I find you somewhat pleasing to the eye.]

[Six: Thank you.]

Looking at the messages sent by everyone, Li Miaozhen couldn't help but grit her teeth again.

Just who is this Su Nan that you're all so concerned about?

[One: If you want to cooperate with Su Nan, you'd better hurry. This person is best at finding clues in the details, and he has probably already made quite a bit of progress.]

Li Miaozhen looked at the message with some skepticism.

Is it made to sound so mysterious?

This person has only been in Yunzhou for a day; how much could he possibly gain?!

……

The Imperial Study in Kyoto, the capital of the Great Feng Dynasty.

Emperor Yuanjing, his hair now completely black, sat on a gilded chair, his gaze sweeping over the assembled ministers, and spoke slowly in a voice devoid of emotion:

"I have had the cabinet make a copy of the memorial sent back by the Yuzhou Provincial Administration Commission and send it to all my ministers. I would like to know your thoughts."

Governor Zhang has already reported the case of the Yuzhou Canal Transport Office to Emperor Yuanjing.

This is a significant case and requires the attention of the imperial court and parliament.

The Minister of Revenue stepped forward first and declared loudly, "In my opinion, this is merely an isolated case in Yuzhou!"

"Zhang Xingying's claim in his memorial that there were spies in the grain transport offices of various prefectures of Dafeng is completely unfounded."

The Ministry of Works censor echoed, "Zhang Xingying's statement lacks evidence and is not credible. A thorough investigation of the Yuzhou Canal Transport Office is sufficient."

Several other officials then stood up to second the motion.

The attitude was clear: no investigation of the canal transport authorities.

The term "canal transport" has always been associated with trouble.

The interest groups involved are far too large!

From the capital to the local areas, from the imperial court to the common people, the situation is complex and intertwined.

There are far too many people involved.

If we really investigate, it will be like pulling up a radish and bringing out a whole bunch of mud, and the more we investigate, the more chaotic things will become!

No one dared to take over this business.

Emperor Yuanjing looked at the Grand Secretary and asked, "What do you think, Minister Wang?"

The Grand Secretary bowed and said, "I believe that a thorough investigation of the grain transport in Yuzhou is sufficient."

"Wei Yuan, what's your opinion?"

Emperor Yuanjing looked at the woman in blue.

Wei Yuan said calmly, "I agree with the Grand Secretary."

The officials withdrew their gazes from Wei Yuan.

The chief minister turned his head and glanced at Wei Yuan, his expression a mixture of tacit understanding and disappointment.

At this critical juncture of the capital inspection, anyone who dares to propose a thorough investigation of the Grand Canal transport office is tantamount to cutting themselves off from the officialdom of the Great Feng Dynasty.

Neither of these two long-time rivals would make such a basic mistake, yet they both secretly hope the other will.

Emperor Yuanjing nodded, his gaze deep and unreadable, and continued:

"A memorial sent back by the Qingzhou Provincial Governor stated that Yang Gong erected warning steles in all the major government offices in Qingzhou. The inscription on the steles reads: 'You eat your food and labor, which is made from the people's blood and sweat. The common people are easy to oppress, but Heaven is hard to deceive.'"

"The Qingzhou Provincial Administration Commission believes that this poem is a wake-up call and has the effect of warning all officials. It recommends that the court order all prefectures to follow suit and erect warning steles."

What do you, my esteemed ministers, think?

Wow!

Inside the imperial study, the officials stirred, whispering amongst themselves.

Immediately following was a continuous stream of praise.

"What a poem, what a poem!"

"This poem is simply a stroke of genius, wonderful beyond words!"

"This is the kind of poetry that our Great Feng should have, not just lines like 'fragrant scents drift in the twilight'!"

"..."

Some officials took the opportunity to subtly criticize southern Jiangsu!

In the past, no matter how famous a poet from southern Jiangsu became, the officials in the imperial court didn't care at all.

But recently, southern Jiangsu has been too close to the imperial court.

His intervention even caused a change in the political situation at court!

Some people did not want Su Nan to use this opportunity to enter the imperial court.

Upon hearing these lines of poetry, Wei Yuan's pupils suddenly froze, and he remained silent for a long time.

What a fine saying: the common people are easy to oppress, but Heaven is hard to deceive!

"Your Majesty is filled with righteous indignation and earnestly requests that Your Majesty issue an order to all prefectures to follow suit and erect warning steles in all major government offices."

The official's petition was echoed by the assembled officials.

In any case, this matter does not involve a conflict of interest or partisan struggle.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became more relaxed.

However, not everyone agrees.

Some people were unwilling to see Yang Gong become famous, after all, this Qingzhou Provincial Governor was a scholar from Yunlu Academy.

But many more people wanted the court to do that.

In this way, once the story spread, it greatly improved the court's image in the hearts of the people.

This is similar to how scholars value reputation.

In recent years, from ordinary people to gentry, from commoners to local elites, the curses have been incessant.

Erecting the warning stele could salvage some of the court's reputation.

Chief Minister Wang stepped forward and said, "I propose that we follow the example of the Qingzhou Provincial Administration Commission."

Emperor Yuanjing actually meant the same thing.

Although he pursued immortality, neglected state affairs, and amassed wealth excessively, he considered himself a good emperor.

"The great scholar Yang Gong truly lived up to his reputation, and was undoubtedly a leading figure in poetry and prose in the imperial examinations of his time!"

"This surpasses the vision of a certain immortal a hundredfold!"
