During the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to the custom, the Son of Heaven will hold a banquet in the Lin De Palace, and officials above the five grades of the court can participate. After the prince settled in the East Palace, the East Palace held its own banquet, and the prince returned to the East Palace after toasting three glasses, and the banquet was for the ministers of the East Palace. However, in the past two years, there have been more officials close to the crown prince, and the Son of Heaven has specially allowed the civil and military officials to stay on their own after two quarters of an hour, and many people have rushed to the East Palace to attend the banquet after drinking in the Lin De Palace.

There are thousands of officials in Beijing, and there are only a few who can participate in the night banquet of the Lin De Hall and the night banquet of the East Palace, not to mention those literati who have no official status, which makes the Mid-Autumn Festival in Biyi Garden, the palace of Chu'an, which began three years ago, become eye-catching, and many people are proud to be able to participate.

Biyi Garden, the palace of Chu'an, often holds various literary meetings and elegant gatherings, and there are often poems and songs that are popular among the people, and many people have become famous and become famous people in Beijing. There are even more lucky people who were appreciated by King Chu'an, recommended to enter the court as officials, and they are on the rise, and Zhao Ao, Wen Xuanling and others are the lucky ones that everyone talks about.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in Biyi Garden was held at noon, and at the beginning of the year, Pan Heyi changed into an old green shirt and rode to the Chu'an palace in an ox cart. The journey from Datongfang to the palace is not short, and the gift money Pan Heyi has received these days is enough for him to change to a more high-end carriage, but Pan Heyi knows that he has to work hard to maintain the image of being poor and untouchable, and maybe he can change a little after marrying a wealthy family.

In the car, Pan Heyi closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about what had happened during this time. What he was most worried about was that Jiang Anyi turned his face with himself, and went to the Son of Heaven to explain that he plagiarized the policy of changing the land rent to silver money and rice payment, and Pan Heyi thought to himself that even if he had the help of King Chu'an, he would probably end up discredited.

After more than half a month of panic, every day I was worried that Jiang Anyi would come to settle accounts with me, but I was safe, and I went to Jiang Anyi's official house in the yamen to pay tribute, Jiang Anyi's expression was as usual, Pan Heyi gradually relaxed his heart, it seems that Jiang Anyi does not plan to deal with himself.

After thinking about it carefully, Pan Heyi came to a conclusion: It is important to clean up the job field, and Jiang Anyi does not want to take the risk of offending the officials of the world, so he takes the responsibility for him and takes what he needs, so he also helped Jiang Anyi.

Comforting himself in this way, Pan Heyi decided to test it, and bought mooncakes on the tenth day of August and went to Jiangfu to apologize. Jiang Anyi's martial arts are strong, so many assassins have died in his hands, if he is angry, it will be difficult for him to die.

Worried, Pan Heyi invited some newly met friends to go with him, but was blocked by Li Laigao outside the door, Li Laigao turned his face was expected, fortunately he didn't say anything about the song. Although this trip was humiliated, but he won a good reputation for enduring humiliation, Pan Heyi showed a smug smile, what is the scolding, after this incident he finally settled down.

The noise came into the car, Pan Heyi did not lift the curtains to watch, calculated that the time should be to Changle Fang, there are many people who come to the palace to find opportunities for today's event, less than thirty percent can enter the palace, and many of the remaining literati and ink writers call friends to wander outside the palace, looking for opportunities to enter the palace.

Pan Heyi sighed in his heart, when he was in Taifu Temple to write the history of Ling, he also went to the gate of the Chu'an palace to look for opportunities, and many scholars looked at the lucky ones who climbed the steps into the mansion, hoping to meet acquaintances and bring themselves into the mansion. Time has passed, and now that he can walk into the palace with a straight chest and swagger, it seems that he has done the right thing.

The ox cart stopped, and the handlebar type shouted outside: "Master, the front is very blocked, and the small one can only send you here." ”

Pan Heyi got out of the car and saw that the carriage and horses in front of him were as slow as ants, and the ox cart he was riding in was very conspicuous among the luxury cars. After paying the money, Pan and Yi'an walked forward, and the people they knew along the way stepped forward to salute, and their words were flattering, knowing that Pan Heyi is now a celebrity in the Chu'an Palace, hoping to get him to help him enter the mansion.

Pan Heyi smiled faintly, talking peacefully and coldly, a stone's throw away from the palace, he actually walked half a pillar of incense kung fu, and more than ten people had gathered in front of the mansion.

Standing still, arching his hand at everyone, Pan Heyi stepped onto the steps. The nine steps made Pan Heyi feel like he was floating on the clouds, and the envious eyes cast around him made him feel comfortable, and he couldn't help but laugh proudly. slowed down, Pan Heyi stabilized his mind, pressed the joy back into his heart, and stood in front of the mansion with a solemn face.

Ding Chu told him that the man who had embarrassed him was demoted to the fief of Fangzhou, and when the man in front of him saw him, he took two steps forward and bowed, and said with a smile: "Master Pan, please inside, Lord Ding will explain the small one, if you come, go to his official office to sit down first, and a few friends will introduce you." ”

As a wealthy man, who is not bright-minded, not to mention that Pan Heyi has often been in and out of the palace during this period of time, and he is called a brother and sister to Lord Ding in the mansion, in the eyes of the man, the old green shirt on Pan Heyi's body is clearly more expensive than the silk shirt of others.

Pan Heyi nodded self-respectfully, and said with a pleasant face: "There is a labor process, there are many visitors today, please remember it." ”

Without waiting for Cheng Yanzhi to reply, Pan and Yimai walked into the house. The guests in the palace of Chu'an are like clouds, and from time to time on the promenade meet friends who play and watch the scenery, Pan Heyi greets people with a spring breeze, meets new friends and does not forget old friends, if you want to be like a fish in water in officialdom, the more friends, the better.

There were laughter and laughter in Ding Chu's official office, and when he saw Pan Heyi coming in, Ding Chu got up with a smile and introduced: "Everyone, this is what I said about Pan Heyi Pan's order, and the article "Please Remove Tian Shu" was written by him. ”

Pan Heyi bowed his hand to a few people, but those people didn't get up, but just smiled and nodded at Pan Heyi. Ding Chu pointed to the thirty-year-old scribe on the left and said: "This is Bao Liming, a member of the Ministry of Works, (promoted from the order of the Pawn Bureau), this gentleman is the champion of the first year of Jianwu, and Pan Xiandi wants to participate in the imperial examination next year, so you might as well ask him for more benefits." ”

Pan Heyi hurriedly saluted and said: "Mo Xue has long heard of Bao Zhuangyuan's name, and it is really Pan's blessing if he can get the guidance of Lord Bao." ”

Bao Liming smiled faintly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

"This poetry Pan Xiandi must have heard it, 'Hearing the song, I felt that someone was coming', everyone in Beijing poetry Fang Zhiyi, temporarily in the Shanglin Department to sign the order, the prince likes his poetry the most, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang Bangyan is about to have a masterpiece again."

Pan Heyi said with a smile: "The younger brother has admired the other brother for a long time, and the younger brother of Brother Fang's poems is the first to be able to memorize them. ”

Fang Zhiyi glanced at Pan Zhiyi, and said nonchalantly: "Poetry trail, how can it be compared to Pan Sheng's article "Please Remove Tian Shu" to reach the heavens, and get the praise of the prince, today's Wenhui Pan Sheng's scenery will be far better than Fang's." ”

Pan Heyi heard the sourness from his words, and immediately understood Fang Zhiyi's mentality, he was born in Tanhualang, and he was hard

It took several years to achieve the order of the Forestry Department, and he was just a person, and he was at the same level as him with a piece of music, and he was very likely to surpass him in the future, how could he not let Fang Zhiyi feel bad in his heart.

Pretending not to know what it meant, Pan Heyi listened to Ding Chu introduce the middle-aged scribe with a smile, "Ji Gong Ji Ruishan, a famous scholar in Fangzhou, is now the head of the school in the palace of Fangzhou." ”

Ji Ruishan got up and said with a smile: "The future is terrifying. The old man has read the article "Please Remove Tian Shu", and it is a good policy to govern the job field, Pan Sheng has seen people, and he is also a pillar of the country. ”

With a modest smile, Pan Heyi sat down and listened to Ding Chu and a few people talking, occasionally interjecting a few sentences, and never taking the lead. Wandering outside the door back then, now he has become a guest, Pan Heyi's mood is agitated, these people in front of him are all famous people in Beijing, Zhuangyuanlang, Tanhualang, is an unattainable role for a person, he can sit down and talk and laugh with them, and his identity has quietly changed.

Pan Heyi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and gently spit out a mouthful of tea, and the friends of the house, the foreign ministers, the officials and the school officials who are accompanying him at the moment, in a few years, may become the waiter, the young eunuch, and then the Shangshu and the minister. Don't bully the young man to be poor, Pan Heyi looks like Jiang Anyi in front of him, I can do what he can do, and I can do it even better than him.

The attendants outside the door came to invite Ding Chu and others to go to the meeting, Ding Chu took everyone to the Chunyun Palace, there are as many as three hundred literati and scholars who came today, and only the square outside the Chunyun Hall can place so many tables and chairs. When Ding Chu arrived, the outside of Chunyun Hall was already full of people, and seeing that many people in Ding Chu stood up to say hello, Ding Chu responded with a smile and introduced Pan Heyi to everyone, and Pan Heyi became the attention of everyone for a while.

With Ding Chu with him, Pan Anyi sat at the front. Ding Chu turned his head sideways and told Pan Heyi in a low voice, "I told you two days ago that the prince intends to hold you in front of everyone today, you can be prepared." ”

Pan Heyi said gratefully: "Brother Ding, rest assured, he will not disappoint Brother Ding." ”

King Chu'an arrived, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Biyi Garden was performed according to the arranged script, Pan Heyi sang a good show in front of everyone, and the "cold dew and silent wet osmanthus, I don't know who the autumn thoughts are" was sung during the banquet, which took away Fang Zhiyi's demeanor. The osmanthus fragrance is mellow, and Pan Heyi is drunk.

The night banquet of Lin De Hall kicked off in the song and dance of "when is the bright moon", the monarchs and ministers raised their glasses to perform the peaceful and prosperous times, the prince toasted the Son of Heaven after drinking, and then toasted Kong Xiang and Ma Xiang a cup, and then raised a glass to the civil and military ministers who went to the banquet, and returned to the East Palace.

Jiang Anyi sat in the middle of the left side, thinking about going home to reunite with his wife and children after two quarters of an hour, as for the invitation of the East Palace, he was no longer a subordinate official of the East Palace, and if his name was not right, he would not be annoyed.

Shi Fangzhen was very interested, and said with a smile: "Why is there no poetry on this good night, whoever makes a good poem will be rewarded." Jiang Anyi, you are not allowed to make a move today. ”

The ministers were excited, who can sit here is not a well-educated person, chanting poetry is a good job, Jiang Anyi is a word immortal, if he makes a move, everyone is willing to bow down, but long live Jiang Anyi is not allowed to compose poems, this limelight may fall to his own family.

Just as everyone was scratching their heads and thinking hard, a eunuch rushed into the hall and shouted: "The north camp of Zhenbei is urgent, and the northern desert is invaded southward." ”

With a "clang", the golden cup in Shi Fangzhen's hand fell to the ground.
