The tea is still warm, and someone from the palace has passed the decree, and the ceremonial department member Wailang Jiang Anyi Zichen Hall saw the driver.

Jiang Anyi got up, and was so shocked that the officials who sat and stood with him got up one after another, smiling on their faces and not saying anything, but their eyes were red in their hearts, there was no one else in this holy family. Chen Yinguang and Jia Nan personally sent Jiang Anyi to the gate of Guanglu Temple, watching Jiang Anyi's background disappear, the two looked at each other, looked at each other with disgust, and went back to the left and right.

In the Zichen Palace, Jiang Anyi walked in quickly and walked to the bottom of the steps, bowed down and kowtowed three times. There was a happy voice from the Son of Heaven Shi Fangzhen in his ears: "Jiang Aiqing, you are back, raise your head and let me take a look." Jiang Anyi raised his face slightly, but lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Jun directly.

Jiang Anyi has been running around uncertainly for the past six months, coupled with the fact that he has not washed in a hurry to return home, and his face is covered with dust, his already black complexion is more like a farmer in the village, which is especially prominent among a group of white and chubby officials. Shi Fangzhen sighed: "The face is dusty, it can be seen that this road has been hard, Jiang Aiqing, you have suffered." ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven praising Jiang Anyi, his tone revealed a little apology, and he was shocked in his heart, this young man is really good, he doesn't know how to vote for the fate of the Son of Heaven, and he has to think about it carefully after he goes back, maybe his children and grandchildren will be able to use it in the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after half a morning, everyone is a little tired, so it is better to let Jiang Anyi tell me how he escaped from the Northern Desert. What do you think? ”

It was another dose of fierce material, and these bigwigs were smiling one by one, bowing their heads one after another, sitting on the embroidered dragon pier sent by the eunuchs to listen to Jiang Anyi's story. Of course, Jiang Anyi would not be stupid enough to talk endlessly in the Zichen Palace, briefly snatching his knife to kill people, holding him hostage, fighting the masters of the Sadu Sect, and going away to the Western Regions, and said it again, in just a quarter of an hour, let these bigwigs listen attentively, sigh, rich and dangerous, this Jiang Anyi is not an ordinary person.

Shi Fangzhen also listened to it with relish, and said with a smile: "Anyi, every story you have on you, after you go back, you will write this experience into a piece of music and present it to me." By the way, the prince is obsessed with you, and asked me about your news a few days ago, Jiang Qing might as well go to the East Palace to meet the prince. ”

I haven't seen him for half a year, the prince is a lot taller, and he smiled when he saw Jiang Anyi, it happened to be lunchtime, and a banquet was inevitable. In addition to Wei Youcheng, who has become the prince's brother-in-law, there is also Cui Yuanhu, who is teaching today, from Taichang Temple under the five grades. Jiang Anyi is not familiar with Cui Yuanhu, and occasionally interacts with each other, feeling that this person is as warm as jade and very easy to get along with.

It is indispensable to talk about the experience of this period of time, the story is tortuous and beautiful, the prince is not the son of heaven, curiously asked for details, listened to the eyebrows fluttering, dancing with hands, and eager to replace him. Wei Youcheng and Cui Yuanhu, who were listening on the side, also sometimes clenched their fists, sometimes smiled, and sometimes sighed, completely intoxicated by Jiang Anyi's speech. At the end, Zhu Yifeng came to urge the prince to go to the training ground, and Jiang Anyi was able to get out and finally go home.

In Taipingfang, in front of the house, a group of people are waiting. Seeing the figure of charcoal from a distance, the stone took the lead in running over, Jiang Anyi dismounted, the stone ran over and hugged him, crying: "Young master, where have you been, I thought you wouldn't come back." "The child's words are unscrupulous, but they reveal the most genuine concern.

Fan Zhichang ran behind the stone, stood in front of Jiang Anyi, bowed deeply like a little adult, and said, "Welcome the master home." ”

Jiang Anyi stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his head, and asked, "Zhichang, because the teacher is not at home, have you ever relaxed your studies?" ”

Without waiting for Fan Zhichang to answer, Fan Shiben, Tian Shoulou, Li Shicheng, Li Lai and his wife helped Dong'er to come forward and go home. Talking about goodbye, the family cried and laughed, but fortunately, after the wind and rain, everyone let go of their hanging hearts.

After the red was turned over the waves, Dong'er lay on Jiang Anyi's chest, listening to the strong and powerful heartbeat, and the laziness after satisfaction. Jiang Anyi gently kissed Dong'er on the forehead and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for half a year, Dong'er has lost a lot." ”

"The whereabouts of the husband are unknown, the concubine is restless at night, the food is not fragrant, where will there be meat." Dong'er twisted in Jiang Anyi's arms, holding him with both hands, fearing that Jiang Anyi would suddenly disappear.

After pondering for a long time, Dong'er decided to tell Jiang Anyi, "Anyi, has Miss Xinfei ever found you?" ”

Xinfei, Jiang Anyi was stunned, he and Xinfei had lost contact for nearly two years, how could this name come out of Dong'er's mouth, how could she find Dong'er?

Seeing that Jiang Anyi wanted to turn over and sit up, Dong'er's heart was pantothenic, and he firmly suppressed it to prevent Jiang Anyi from getting up, Jiang Anyi felt out of shape, and gently stroked Dong'er's smooth back with his hand. Feeling her husband's love, Dong'er murmured: "The family envoy came back and said that the husband was detained by the desert, his life and death were unknown, and all kinds of rumors followed, and the concubine was very worried. Thanks to Brother Fan, he explained that those rumors were untrue, so I could wait with peace of mind. In August, a woman suddenly came to visit, claiming to be Miss Xinfei, and Shi had seen Miss Xinfei and told me that it was true. ”

Dong'er recalled the situation of that day, and continued with sadness: "Miss Xinfei told me that she personally went to the Desert Royal Court to inquire about your news, and learned that you have escaped successfully, although you don't know where you are, you should be back after a while. ”

What the? Xin Fei went to the Desert Royal Court to inquire about her news, Jiang Anyi was very moved, the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, Xin Fei is really difficult to repay her silent dedication, and she wants to find her as soon as possible.

Dong'er said faintly in her arms: "Miss Xinfei is so beautiful, she has great skills, and she can venture to the desert for her husband, which really makes Dong'er admire." When will the husband marry her into the door, Dong'er is willing to be small, and only asks the husband not to forget Dong'er. ”

Affection is also trouble, Jiang Anyi can only express pity to Dong'er with practical actions, as for Xinfei, put it aside first, and appease Dong'er first tonight.

The Son of Heaven gave him a ten-year vacation, so that Jiang Anyi could rest at home and write a chapter by the way. It is not easy for the champion of Sanyuan and the first to write a concerto, and after an hour, the trip to the Western Regions of the Desert sprinkled with thousands of words has been written. Jiang Anyi put down the pen, rubbed his wrist, looked at it again, revised a few places, and sighed smugly: "The wonderful pen is full of flowers." ”

Standing up, I pushed open the window, and the sunlight was shining obliquely from outside, and a pillar of light happened to shine on the newly written piece. In the pillar of light, countless tiny dust were churning and dancing. Jiang Anyi narrowed his eyes, adapted to the sunshine, and recalled the deep conversation with Zhang Keji in Ping'en County.

That was after Zhang Keji had recognized himself as his father-in-law, and the two talked about major events in the world while drinking, including talking about today. Similar to Fan Shi's view, Zhang Keji believes that today's son knows people well, is diligent and thrifty, but is in a hurry to achieve success, and his majesty is strict.

Subsequently, Zhang Keji talked about Jiang Anyi's trip to the Western Regions of the Desert, and after returning, he must write a chapter to explain the experience of this time, starting from the desert being framed by Prince Liman, to the end of his return from the Western Regions, Zhang Keji smiled and asked Jiang Anyi to win the trust of the Son of Heaven, what should be the trade-off. Jiang Anyi didn't think about it, and replied that it would be played according to the facts.

Zhang Keji immediately pointed out two points: first, Xiaozhen saw the winch crossbow and couldn't play it; The second is to rescue the criminal Lu Ziyue, saying that he will not explain. Jiang Anyi was dumbfounded, these two points are indeed taboo, the matter of the winch crossbow is very involved, from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and even the Anxi Metropolitan Protector Zhu Rusty is inevitably involved, and he boldly said that he really wants to become a "lonely minister" in the court. And the inclusion of Lu Ziyue is clearly against the law and discipline of the court, if it is clear, the dismissal of officials is almost certain.

Seeing Jiang Anyi worried, Zhang Keji smiled and said: "Master Ziyun 'think twice before acting', the lord should remember it." The lord is still young, and it is not inappropriate to know that the emperor is bent on repaying you, but you must also prevent the monarch from treating you as a sword, killing all sides when you use it, hiding it in a box when you don't use it, and even cooking rabbits and dead dogs to appease others. ”

Jiang Anyi was terrified and shocked, when he was reading history books in Zechang Academy, he didn't see such a record, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and he really has to think twice before acting, otherwise he will not be able to repay the king's kindness, but will involve his family.

Zhang Keji said: "Anyi, you are young and high, in the eyes of most people are already an outlier, this mission to the desert is not dishonored, and the army of the desert khan, the Son of Heaven will be happy, and it is not difficult to promote a small level." But in my opinion, you have no foundation in the court, and it is not a good thing for you to rise too quickly, so it is the right way to think about offsetting your merits and demerits. ”

Jiang Anyi nodded again and again, deeply convinced.

"The Son of Heaven is strict and suspicious, and the establishment of the copper box is to broaden the eyes and ears. If it is going to be of great use to you in the future, it will inevitably be verified one by one in what you say, so I suggest that the lord should make these two things clear. In this way, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, the lord serves the king with sincerity and does not avoid suspicion. Lu's matter is just a trivial matter, and the Son of Heaven will inevitably let it go gently, but he will use this matter to knock the lord down, as for the official position, most of them will not be promoted or degraded, and the lord can also be grateful to Dade, haha, a deal that can be counted in one fell swoop. ”

"The matter of the winch crossbow will be furious, and I will ask you in detail, the sharp weapon of the country is leaked to others, which is not trivial, and it is not good to make people's heads roll to the ground. The lord must not interfere in this matter, just tell what he has seen according to the facts, and think that the Son of Heaven will secretly send Long Wei to investigate this matter. However, these two things are related to the face of the court, and one thing is very important, and the lord cannot say it explicitly, so he might as well play the son of heaven in a secret way, so that the son of heaven has room to maneuver, and it is much easier to deal with it. ”

Looking at the dust under the sun, Jiang Anyi secretly smiled bitterly, everyone has selfishness, it seems that he can't be a pure minister, and being with the light and dust is the way to survive.

It took Jiang Anyi three days to write a secret letter, changing and changing, repairing and repairing. A few days later, the two letters were handed to the Son of Heaven through Liu Weiguo's hand.
