In the center of Bianjing City, inside Huixian Argyle.
"I'm late, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Zhou Nan rushed to the private room in a panic. When he saw Song Liang waiting there, he immediately looked panicked.
I thought that Song Liang would be furious, but unexpectedly, Song Liang turned out to be kind and even had a faint smile on his face.
"Don't be in a hurry, I've just arrived!"
"Master Zhou, please sit down, someone is here! Let me show you some tea for Master Zhou!"
Song Liang's extremely abnormal behavior really made Zhou Nan confused.
Now facing Song Liang, Zhou Nan couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.
After all, he had secretly changed his partner without telling the third prince.
Once this matter is exposed, the third prince will never let him off easily!
But unfortunately, the task given to him by Prince Rong was to stay with the third prince and wait for the opportunity.
In other words, even if Zhou Nan wanted to hide, he couldn't escape easily!
In desperation, Zhou Nan had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the appointment.
Faced with Song Liang's enthusiastic move, Zhou Nan was at a loss and had to immerse himself in drinking tea.
Song Liang did not notice Zhou Nan's abnormal behavior, but said with a smile: "I heard that Lord Zhou performed very well during the questioning in front of the palace yesterday."
Zhou Nan quickly said: "It's just a fluke, just a fluke."
"Fortunately, Long live the Lord did not pursue it too much. Otherwise, no matter how eloquent I am, I still cannot be blamed!"
Song Liang said calmly: "It is also your ability, Master Zhou, that you can prevent your father from pursuing too much."
"It is precisely because of Mr. Zhou's ability that the king is interested in him, so he arranges for Mr. Zhou to become an official at all costs."
"By the way," Song Liang suddenly looked directly into Zhou Nan's eyes and said seriously, "Master Zhou still remembers that when I asked you to come and become an official, I exchanged several letters with you."
"I would like to know, where are those letters now?"
Zhou Nan was shocked, it turned out that this was the real purpose of the third prince calling him here!
He asked himself for those letters, probably to check and restrain himself, or even to threaten him!
But now those letters are no longer in his hands. In order to win Prince Rong's trust, he has already given those letters to Prince Rong!
What else can you give the third prince now?
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan suddenly broke into a cold sweat!
"Master Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
"But is there any discomfort?"
Song Liang finally noticed something strange about Zhou Nan and immediately expressed concern.
Originally, in Song Liang's eyes, Zhou Nan was just a rich kid who was idle and had no ambitions.
I don't expect him to accomplish anything big for himself, as long as he can stand up at critical moments and say a few words for himself in the court.
After all, from the very beginning, Song Liang just took a fancy to the Lingnan Zhou family's prestige among the gentry!
However, after what happened yesterday, Song Liang suddenly realized that Zhou Nan was not a simple mediocre person!
Being able to escape unscathed in front of the always stern Emperor Liang, doesn't this count as being capable?
It was precisely because of this incident that Song Liang began to really pay attention to Zhou Nan!
It's just that if I don't have any checks and balances on such a talent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control him in the future.
That's why Song Liang's attitude suddenly changed greatly, and he turned to calling him out, precisely because of this matter.
Facing Song Liang's enthusiasm, Zhou Nan suddenly began to struggle fiercely in his heart.
Who should I work with?
Is he the third prince or Prince Rong?
The third prince is indeed very tough, and he was able to successfully pass even the extremely strict Wenyuan Pavilion examination.
No matter how hard he was, wouldn't he almost be discovered by Prince Rong?
And in a life-or-death situation like yesterday, he still had to rely on Prince Rong's help to escape smoothly!
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan finally firmed up his thoughts.
He quickly regained his composure, raised his head, and looked back at Song Liang with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, I'm fine!"
"It's just that I experienced a big shock yesterday and I haven't recovered from it for a long time."
"Now every time I think about this incident, I still feel scared and can't calm down!"
Seeing that Zhou Nan had returned to normal, Song Liang no longer took the matter to heart.
"By the way, did Mr. Zhou hear what I just said?"
Zhou Nan naturally knew what Song Liang was referring to, but he decided to continue to act stupid.
"Your Highness, what did you just say?"
Song Liang was a little displeased, but he still cleared his throat and said, "Of course it's the letters that I and Lord Zhou exchanged."
"I would like to know, where are those letters now?"
But Zhou Nan didn't even blink and replied quickly: "I have already burned those letters."
"Burned?" Song Liang was extremely surprised, "Didn't you say before that those letters are very important, and you will keep them safe?"
"Why did it suddenly burn when you said it was burning?"
Zhou Nan was very calm: "I thought about it carefully. No matter how well-preserved things are, there is always a risk of being found."
"It's better to burn it on fire and make it clean, so that no one will find it at all!"
"Your Highness, do you think I did the right thing?"
Zhou Nan blinked his eyes, and the confident smile on his face seemed to be asking for credit from Zhou Nan.
Song Liang's mouth was half-opened, and he froze on the spot. It was as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it down, and he couldn't spit it out!
He originally planned to use this as a threat so that Zhou Nan would be able to take orders from him in the future.
did not expect……
He actually burned that thing!
That’s it, if it doesn’t exist, there won’t be any.
Zhou Nan is the eldest son of Zhou and the future head of the Lingnan Zhou family.
Such a person always cherishes his life. Even if he borrows his courage, he will not make his own decisions or obey his orders!
After all, he is just a son of a noble family, and he does not dare to confront a prince like himself!
"Ahem, since it's burned, let's burn it."
"Besides, there is one more thing that needs to be informed to Mr. Zhou in advance."
"In three days when the fourth child leaves the capital, I will launch the Wenyuan Pavilion to impeach the prime minister."
"Impeach the Prime Minister?!" Zhou Nan was shocked.
Although he had not been involved in political affairs in the past, all the people in Daliang knew that the Prime Minister was an upright and upright official, and he was really the object of praise from the people.
Even if you want to impeach him, you probably won't be able to find any charges, right?
Song Liang nodded lightly: "Yes, it is the impeachment of the Prime Minister."
"In three days, there will be a big problem in the Gongyuan in Huizhou, and a major incident involving ten lives will occur."
"I think the Prime Minister is personally responsible for repairing the Gongyuan."
"If such a big problem arises near the end of the year, it will definitely arouse my father's wrath!"
"In addition, Cheng Xun's popularity in the court is very average. He is too upright and has offended many people."
"At that time, everyone will come to add insult to injury and step on him."
"Under pressure, my father will never keep him as prime minister!"
