At the foot of the mountain, Tang Lu stood firmly under the sun, and after more than two hours of exposure, the sweat on his body was wet and dry, and the light crimson eunuch uniform had a faint layer of salt frost. The little eunuch wanted to step forward to please him and hold an umbrella for him and was driven away, Tang Lu stared at the corridor down the mountain, feeling a little spinning.

When he saw Jiang Anyi's figure, Tang Lu hurriedly stepped forward with shaky steps. Jiang Anyi saw that his vigorous appearance before he went up the mountain was now wilting like a frosted eggplant, and knew that he was worried about his revenge and complained to the Son of Heaven.

Waving his hand to let the little eunuch who sent Jiang Anyi down the mountain to avoid it, Tang Lu "plopped" and knelt in front of Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi was taken aback by his actions, and quickly pulled him up and said, "Father-in-law, what do you mean?" ”

"Thank you for saving your life, our family is grateful, and there will be rewards in the future." Tang Lu wiped his tears and said, he learned the news that Jiang Anyi did not fall into the ground, and concealed for him that he was unsuccessful in asking for a door bag and deliberately neglected. If this matter is known by the Son of Heaven, Tang Lu's life is not guaranteed, even if he does not die, he will be sent to guard the mausoleum, thinking that he is only in his twenties, and he is the inner prisoner of the sixth grade, which can be called a good future, how can he be willing to disappear silently, so what Jiang Anyi did was indeed a life-saving grace for him.

Jiang Anyi despised Tang Lu's personality very much, and he had the heart to brush his sleeves away, and suddenly remembered that he went home to visit relatives this time, Mr. Zhang once jokingly said that in the capital, he should be well-informed, make the best use of his talents, and make the best use of his things, and he can't blindly clean himself, and he also has to socialize with some villains, sometimes villains are more useful than righteous gentlemen. Tang Lu is a villain, but if he can make good friends, he can know the information in the palace, and sometimes seemingly inconspicuous words can take the lead.

Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "Don't take a little misunderstanding to your father-in-law, Father-in-law Tang must be cautious when he is young and has a good future." If it is inconvenient at hand, you might as well go to the East Market perfume shop to say hello, and Jiang will order the counter to prepare. ”

"What Lord Jiang admonished, Tang Lu wrote it down, thank you for your kindness." Tang Lu had to get out of the big trouble, and at this time, Jiang Anyi said that it was okay to say anything.

Back at the residence of Taipingfang, Fan Shiben, Tian Shoulou, Li Shicheng, Li Donghong, Li Laigao, He Xigui (stone) and a large group of people were waiting in the hall, and everyone was relieved to see Jiang Anyi coming in with a smile.

Fan Shiben asked with concern, "Anyi, are you okay?" "The prince's suburbs welcomed Jiang Anyi, and the Son of Heaven was in a hurry to summon him early the next morning, and no one knew that Jiang Anyi's situation was not good, so Master Fan took leave to wait at Jiang Zhai.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Fan don't worry." ”

Simple questions and simple answers, peace of mind when you know that you are fine, and talk about some things in detail when no one is in private. Fan Shiben breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay, stone, let's eat, I'm hungry, your master hasn't eaten eighty percent, let's talk while eating." By the way, remember to send someone to the Lingshi's Mansion to report a letter, and when I came out, Lord Yu told me to tell him as soon as you came back. ”

The stone went to make arrangements, and Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven gave me food, but I didn't even taste the taste of the food, and I was too tired to accompany the Son of Heaven to eat." ”

Everyone laughed, and Li Shicheng said enviously: "It is a great honor for the Son of Heaven to give food, others can't ask for it, and An Yi also said that he can't taste it, so it's okay if I don't eat it for three days." ”

The wine and food had already been prepared, and the crowd sat around the table. Putting down his thoughts, Jiang Anyi poured wine for everyone, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return." ”

After three glasses of wine, Jiang Anyi smiled and said to Li Donghong: "Today's performance is right, it just so happens that the Son of Heaven said that he would follow the example of Huazhou Tun Soldiers to strengthen the local armed forces, I recited the "Please Build a Regiment and Practice Shu" you wrote to the Son of Heaven to listen, the Son of Heaven praised your recital eloquently and heartily, let me tell you that you are preparing for the exam and will serve the country in the future, and the King of Ningling County will send someone to speak for you. ”

Li Donghong's eyes were red, but he didn't expect that the boulder that had just entered the capital and pressed on his heart was removed, and he raised his glass gratefully and thanked: "Thank you Lord Jiang for solving this great trouble for me, Donghong can't repay it, I salute it, and I should do my best to serve my life in the past three years." ”

Li Shicheng didn't know about Li Donghong's entanglement with the king of Ningling County, but he was jealous that his name and surname were known to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven personally said that he would serve the country in three years, which was a steady promise to give him a Jinshi meritorious name. Alas, Anyi is still his brother-in-law, why don't you want to think about yourself for such a good thing.

Thinking of these days, it was rumored in Beijing that An Yi was going to be appointed as the first waiter-Zhongshu waiter, and even his brother-in-law rose up. The old father-in-law Hu Kun asked him to drink every once in a while, and also sent some things, and his wife and concubine were also very gentle, and he was flattered and flattered at the banquet party, congratulating him on having such a strong brother-in-law's promotion just around the corner.

Li Shicheng raised his glass and smiled: "Why didn't this girl Dong'er go to Beijing with you, I haven't seen you for seven years since I went to Huazhou, and my father and mother were still chattering two days ago." My nephew and niece are good, speaking of which, I, as an uncle, have never seen them, and when I enter Beijing, I will take them to live at home for a while, and get close to Chen'er and Xing'er and their brothers. ”

Jiang Anyi raised his glass and said, "Dong'er serves my mother in Pingshan's hometown to take care of the children, and she can't get out of her body for a while, but she should enter Beijing before March next year at the latest." My father-in-law and mother-in-law are in good health, and when I have time in two days, I will go to visit the two old people. ”

"My father and mother are in good health, Anyi, you are busy in advance, and it is not too late to go when you are free. By the way, Anyi, today's face saint, long live can say how to settle you, it is rumored in Beijing that you are going to the middle school to serve as a scholar in the middle school. Li Shicheng asked anxiously.

Jiang Anyi drank all the wine in the cup, saw that everyone stopped their glasses and looked at him, and said with a smile: "Long live, let me go to the East Palace first to do a Shaozhan affair and assist the prince." ”

Li Shicheng raised his wine glass and sighed: "Alas, the prince's suburbs seem to be extremely glorious, but it is not a good thing for An Yi. ”

Fan Shiben said: "Not necessarily, now that the prince is regent, there are many officials in the East Palace, and Ji Tianming, the former Shao Zhan of the East Palace, was appointed as the secretary of the provincial right supervisor." (The former secretary left supervisor Qi Guowei resigned, concentrating on compiling the "Wenhua Canon", the Son of Heaven played the quasi-play, the former secretary and the right supervisor Li Haogu succeeded him as the left supervisor, and the right supervisor was the crown prince to protect the East Palace Shaozhan Shi Ji Tianming)"

"At present, most of the subordinate officials of the East Palace are fictitious titles or concurrent, and at present, in addition to the three young and three divisions in the East Palace, among the actual officials, except for the prince's guest Xiong Zhiren, who is the third grade, Jiang Anyi, the young Zhan Shi, has the highest rank. The prince attaches great importance to Anyi, and regards it as a teacher, and Anyi can take up the post of assistant to the prince in the East Palace, which is an opportunity to show his great ambitions. To put it bluntly, in the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, An Yi will not be the most useful minister. ”

"Not bad", Li Shicheng nodded again and again: "It's because I'm too short-sighted and didn't think of this, what Brother Fan taught me is to respect you." ”

Li Laigao tapped the desktop with a folding fan and said with a smile: "Shicheng nephew, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, don't be careless." ”

This clan uncle who is not as old as himself actually spoke to himself in a tone of lesson, which made Li Shicheng very uncomfortable, what a cow, you are also a person, I am still an eight-rank official in the court, you are just a subordinate of my brother-in-law, and you actually put a family uncle's pedigree with me. Li Shicheng lowered his face and pretended not to hear a drink with Fan Shiben. Li Laigao was not angry, and drank with Tian Shoulou beside him with a smile.

Li Shicheng put down the wine glass, took a bite of the food and tasted it carefully, waited for the food to be swallowed, and said in a deep voice: "Anyi, you have a deep relationship with the prince, can you find an opportunity to make a statement to the prince and transfer me to the East Palace to serve. ”

Jiang Anyi is really displeased, his eldest brother has to look forward to Shu, and his desire is difficult to fill, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future. Forced a smile and said: "Brother Shicheng, Brother Donghong and Brother Laigao will take the exam in three years, you are not as good as them to participate in the exam, if you can win the Jinshi, the future will naturally be great." ”

Li Shicheng's face collapsed, he had already thrown his books out of the clouds when he was eating, drinking and having fun in the capital, and at this moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to participate in the Xiucai test, let alone pass the test. Hearing the refusal in Jiang Anyi's words, Li Shicheng stopped making a sound with a cold face, and drank and ate food by himself.

The banquet dispersed, everyone went home, Tian Shoulou told Jiang Anyi about the situation in Beijing during this period of time in the study, and finally said with a smile: "When the lord returns to Beijing to take up his post, Tian's role is not great, so he can only do some errands and send letters, and inquire about the goss......ip by the way."

Jiang Anyi stopped Tian Shoulou and continued, saying, "Brother Tian, don't say it, you have helped me a lot over the years, if you didn't run in Beijing, I would be so stable in Huazhou." Jiang returned to Beijing to take up a post, more and more to borrow Brother Tian, remember that Jiang wrote a poem for you, 'Moss flowers are as small as rice, and you can also learn to bloom peonies', and Brother Tian encouraged. ”

Tian Shoulou sighed and sighed: "On that day, Tian had no food and clothing, and he was a cheap person, and he was not abandoned by the lord to have today, since the lord can afford Tian, Tian should do his best." ”

…………

On the first day of the ninth month, the Great Dynasty. The Son of Heaven recuperated in the Yanshan Palace, and the Great Dynasty was presided over by the Crown Prince.

Jiang Anyi is now a subordinate official of the East Palace, although Shao Zhan Shi is a high-ranking official on the fourth grade, he does not need to go to the court meeting. At the end of the day, Jiang Anyi appeared outside the gate of the East Palace, and after announcing his name, a little eunuch led him to the Wenhua Palace.

Looking at this palace that was not unfamiliar, Jiang Anyi thought about his new envoy, and the Son of Heaven appointed him as Shao Zhanshi, putting himself in a dilemma. This position was ordered by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven explained it clearly, asking him to assist the prince to understand the righteousness, and even more so to let the prince know more about the people's suffering. Shao Zhan is a subordinate official of the East Palace, this time the prince went to the suburbs of Changqiao to greet him, everyone knows that the prince is more important than him, and the prince is good at governing and flashy, how should he advise the prince to obey.

Thinking while walking all the way, when I came to the Wenhua Palace, I saw someone waiting in front of the hall with a smile, this prince is Jiang Anyi's acquaintance, the straight bachelor on duty, and He Ziying, the doctor of Zuozanshan in the East Palace.
