The content of the letter... No, it's more appropriate to call it a message than a letter.
Because it has only seven words: Mr. Ning, come to the capital.
Not a question, but an invitation.
Seeing these seven words, King Kang couldn't help but be curious: "Jingxian, what is your relationship with Ning Shixian?"
"We... are friends and partners of the shop. We sold him saltpeter and he made it into ice and supplied it to my ice drink shop. In addition, he is also a friend of Youchu and I."
Just a friend, how dare you write just seven words to invite Ning Shixian to the capital?
"If you write this, will he really come?"
King Kang was not sure.
Zhou Jingxian smiled complacently: "Whether he comes or not does not depend on us, but on him. Anyway, according to my understanding of Mr. Ning, he will not just watch Daxing being hampered by others. His patriotism is no less than Our Zhou family."
Seeing that Jingxian had such a high opinion of Ning Wuxu, King Kang felt reassured.
It seemed that his father's suspicion of the Ning family was groundless, which meant that Zhou An's matter had nothing to do with Ning Wuyan.
As for whether this invitation is successful...it doesn't matter whether it is successful or not, it will still take a long time anyway, and you can always succeed through hard work. The last thing he lacks is patience.
"I will immediately send a flying pigeon to deliver the letter and deliver it to Ning Shixian."
King Kang picked up the letter and stood up, ready to leave.
In order to prevent Long Wei from seeing it, he even spread it out for Concubine Jing to take a look at.
"Mother, do you think these seven are suitable?"
"I don't know that Ning Shixian, let alone his temperament, but girl Jingxian believes in his patriotism. I believe in girl Jingxian. Although she is a one-sided child, she can get her Those who trust will never make mistakes.”
Hearing that even his mother said this, King Kang had a smile on his face.
It wasn't until the feeling of being followed that had been lingering on his back disappeared that he carefully put the note into his arms and put it away. He gave Zhou Jingxian careful instructions before leaving.
Almost as soon as King Kang left Shoukang Palace.
Zhou Qian then understood the seven words written on the letter.
"Mr. Ning, come to the capital..."
Zhou Qian savored this sentence repeatedly, trying to find any clues in it, but according to Jingxian, it was just because the two were friends, so there was no need for so many taboos.
If it was true that Ning Wuhuang and Prince Kang's father and daughter were involved in shameless activities as he suspected, it would never be possible for them to reach such a level of trust even between blood relatives.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I went to the tiger mountains. What if it was a trap and I invited someone to come to the capital to question me?
Then, there is only one reason why girl Jingxian dared to write such a letter.
That is - if you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows.
If she dares to invite him, he will come.
"Am I really too suspicious?"
Zhou Qian rubbed his brows and felt a trace of powerlessness.
After all, I am getting older and can no longer keep up with the pace of young people.
The world was only temporarily managed by him for a period of time, and would be managed by others in the future. All he could do was to avoid risks that were detrimental to the Zhou Dynasty as much as possible.
If Ning Wuchang is a person without imperial power, he is so young and has such ability, he must not stay for a long time, lest the new king's ascendancy will be affected by him.
"When Ning Wuyan comes to the capital, first ask him how much of the lost prescription he still remembers."
Wine has peace, wealth has tobacco, and medicine has Artemisia annua.
The three major contributions are enough.
Zhou Qian really can't think of any other new things related to medicinal herbs that can bring great prosperity.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qian laughed at himself.
Perhaps, asking Qin Shi to protect Ning Wuhuang was just an excuse. After all, he was still jealous of this idiot and wealthy businessman who turned out to be a poet.
They are even more worried that the future crown prince will not get support if he does not get close to him, or he will suffer the consequences if he goes too far.
Just like the Shen family today.
However, the Shen family has long been entrenched and cannot be eliminated unless it destroys itself. He never wants to see the second Shen family rise under his nose.
"What did little girl Jingxian do after she finished writing the letter?"
Zhou Qian asked this question coldly.
In the dark, Long Wei hurriedly sent someone to ask, and he got a reply not long after.
"Your Majesty, after Princess Xian finished writing the letter, she lay on the bed and chatted with Concubine Jing for a while. After drinking some medicine, she started reading a collection of poems."
"Girl Jingxian, can you read poetry collections?"
Zhou Qian felt very surprised.
Doesn't this girl dislike wordy things?
"It's the newly compiled "Collection of Thousands of Daxing Poems", which contains all the poems of Jinling Shixian. Princess Xian specially read those pages."
Even the Dragon Guards still remember those popular poems.
Naturally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Princess Xian looking at them.
Only Zhou Qian's expression became complicated.
Girl Jingxian is not the kind of person who likes poetry like ordinary women, let alone wastes time on it. In this way, Girl Jingxian said that her relationship with Ning Wushan is just a friend, and it is very likely that it is more than just friends. Simple.
What woman wouldn't love a talented man who is rich in talent and can also help his father fight for the heir apparent?
"Go and find out what this Jinling Poet Immortal looks like and how tall he is."
Before, I only paid attention to Ning Wuhuang's reputation as a idiot, and didn't care about this at all.
Now it seemed that he had to consider whether to let Jingxian continue to have contact with Ning Wuyan, and in what capacity.
…
Jin Palace.
After returning from the palace, King Jin brushed aside the gloomy state of the past few days, hummed a popular tune from Hualou, and walked into the study unhurriedly.
After closing the door, King Jin leaned back in his chair, tilting his head and pretending to take a nap.
"Jiachu."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure flashed behind King Jin.
Without raising his head or opening his eyes, King Jin lowered his voice and ordered, "Go and tell Descartes all the news about Ning Wuyan."
Descarnato was one of the many envoys sent to send letters of war in the Western Region. He usually seemed to be just a little transparent, and he was not the main envoy, but in fact, all decisions in Daxing were arranged by this person.
"Your Majesty, is this all the news?"
Jia Chu confirmed it again.
The information about Ning Wuyan could be summarized in a few sentences when this person was still a fool.
But after this person became famous, he couldn't finish it in half a day, especially the poems written by Ning Wuchang, whether it was the ten poems sold on the small island in the middle of the lake, or one person against a hundred people when breaking off the engagement, or the Xiaoxiang Pavilion went upstairs to deliver Perfume is something that people talk about but the envoys from the Western Regions are temporarily unaware of.
And if all these things were told to the messenger Descartes in detail, it would undoubtedly reveal Ning Wuhuang's work style and type of expertise to the countries in the Western Region.
It is equivalent to surrendering to the enemy.
"You went to Jinling in the early days of Jiachu, and you talked a lot when you came back."
King Jin still didn't open his eyes and spoke in a low voice, but the substantial pressure from a superior still forced Jiachu not to think any more. He cupped his fists and bowed before leaping out of the back window.
It wasn't until there was no movement in the study except for the cool breath that King Jin opened his eyes and sneered silently.
"If I didn't tell Descartes about Ning Wuhuang, how would they know that Ning Wuhuang might be more important than Xu Jidao in this competition? How could I kill someone with a borrowed knife and successfully ruin Ning Wuhuang's reputation?"
Other than that.
