Yu Zhijie didn't want Jiang Anyi to take the risk, and said: "Long live, although Jiang Anyi is a cadre, he is very easy to break, Jiang Anyi is still young, and it is best to leave room and wait for the future." If the matter of cleaning up the official field may be taken up by an old man, if he is not incompetent, the minister is willing to serve as the official field clean-up envoy. ”

For the sake of his disciples, Yu Zhijie is also out of the way, and he is ready to take this tricky matter on his own.

Duan Cizong, the secretary of the ministry, echoed: "Jiang Anyi's temperament is too upright, and he can use it to overcome thorns and thorns, but the spring breeze and rain are not his strengths, and the matter of Guantian is too widespread, and Jiang Anyi is afraid of causing a huge earthquake in the officialdom, long live it." ”

Imperial Doctor Huang Ping objected loudly: "Long live, I heard that the sword will only be sharpened faster and faster, and Lord Jiang is Xinjin's sword is suitable for using its sharpness, how can it be hidden in it." Master Jiang has long lived the trust, even if there is a mistake, he will eat a trench and grow wise, which will be beneficial to him in the future. Therefore, the minister thought that what King Chu An said was very true, and Jiang Anyi, Shao Zhan, was the best person to clean up the official field. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Ma Sui really said.

The two opinions are clearly distinguished, and each has a long argument. Shi Fangzhen listened to it in his ears, and felt that what both sides said made sense, but at the same time, they also had selfish intentions, and it seemed to be mixed with the battle between the prince and the king of Chu'an. Shi Fangzhen became irritable and said, "Don't argue, I will come to Jiang Anyi to meet him and ask him what he means." ”

Yu Zhijie's heart was cold, the Son of Heaven summoned Jiang Anyi to ask for advice, in fact, the attitude of the Son of Heaven has been clear, and the Son of Heaven asked how to refuse as a courtier. The prince's face was worried, but King Chu An couldn't hide the joy at the corner of his mouth.

The imperial study was not far from the East Palace, and soon Jiang Anyi was ordered to come to see the driver. Shi Fangzhen said about the clean-up of Guantian and the dispute between everyone, and asked, "Jiang Qing, are you willing to serve as the clean-up envoy of Guantian?" ”

Since the first day of September last year, Huang Pingzuo asked to clean up the official field, many people have been speculating about when the Son of Heaven will do it, Jiang Anyi also thought that the Son of Heaven might let him do this, and Liu Yixing, Li Laigao and others also discussed it a few times, and then heard the prince say that this matter is very important, and the Son of Heaven did not dare to act rashly, it is estimated that he will not consider doing it until after the Northern Expedition, but he did not expect to be asked suddenly today.

Although the Son of Heaven was in an inquiring tone, no matter how stupid Jiang Anyi was, he knew how to answer, and said loudly: "If you can benefit the society of the country, how dare the ministers avoid it with safety and danger, and are willing to relieve their worries for long live." ”

Shi Fangzhen stood up, walked quickly to Jiang Anyi's side, grabbed Jiang Anyi's arm, and sighed: "Gou Li Sheji, life and death." I have Jiang Qing like an arm, Jiang Qing is loyal to me, and I will live up to Qing. ”

The expressions of the people around him are different, Yu Zhijie is naturally the most happy person, and the words of the Son of Heaven are equivalent to giving Jiang Anyi a holy decree; The prince has some mixed tastes, and he can't tell the difference between joy and sorrow, his father attaches so much importance to Master Jiang, how will he be kind to him in the future; King Chu An was a little emotional, Jiang Anyi's words were heartbreaking, but it was a pity that he was assisted by the crown prince, but such a good minister stood on the opposite side of himself, he could sigh; Kong Sheng's smile remains unchanged, Jiang Anyi is not a threat to him, he might as well bring it up and make a good fate for his children and grandchildren; Ma Suizhen was secretly vigilant that in another five or six years, maybe Jiang Anyi would become an obstacle to his progress......

Jiang Anyi knelt down and thanked him, he was still a little pretentious when he said that just now,

At this time, Xie En is really grateful, since ancient times, there are a few courtiers who can get the gift of the Son of Heaven, if the monarch and the minister encounter this, how can Jiang Anyi not die.

"Jiang Qing, Qingtian's matter is not in a hurry, after the states and counties report the situation, you will report it to me in a book, and I will discuss it with you." Shi Fangzhen sat back in the chair and thought: "The affairs of Guantian are complicated, and the duties of the East Palace Shaozhan will not be entrusted to others. Qingtian is inseparable from the household department, the data of the world's acres of land are there, so simply the household department will organize the place, and you will go there first to familiarize yourself with the situation. Yu Aiqing is your mentor, and you masters and apprentices will join forces again, and you will definitely be able to solve this problem for me. ”

Yu Zhijie smiled: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Jiang Anyi followed Yu Zhijie out of the palace, Yu Zhijie stood still, looked at the proud disciple, remembered the appearance of the country boy who sold bamboo tubes back then, and sighed: "I haven't returned to my hometown for sixteen years as a teacher, and Zhiren and Zhihe said in the letter that Xinqi has changed a lot. Alas, the older I get, the more I miss my hometown, and recently I always dream of the scenery at home for the teacher, and the leaves fall back to the roots. When Guangxu (Yu Jiahuan's son) and Guangxuan (Yu Jiale's son) are promoted, the old man wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and you can take care of Anyi in Beijing, and he is very relieved to be a teacher. A few years ago, I heard Banzai say that Zhicheng should be transferred to Huangzhou, there is you in the capital, there is him in the place, the Yu family can be safe, if the grandchildren are still angry, you will help it. ”

The breeze drove Yu Zhijie's white hair, Jiang Anyi's eyes were a little damp, Yu Zhijie did not teach him for a few days, but his career started because of Yu Shi, if there was no guidance from Yu Shi, maybe he would still be facing the loess in the countryside and being bullied by the small officials.

I couldn't bear to see Master Yu's old state, Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "It is normal for Master Yu to feel homesick, but Long Live is relying on his teacher, I'm afraid there are no five or six years to think about it, Anyi has a shallow foundation in the court, and he still wants to rely on the big tree of Master Yu." Brother Zhicheng was transferred from Qianzhou to Huangzhou, and he is also an official rank on the fourth grade, so I have to work harder, otherwise I will be surpassed. ”

Yu Zhijie was diverted by Jiang Anyi's words, and said with a smile: "Fengle nine years ago, the top three are now all members of the fourth grade, which makes others envious. You must know that Su Zhongmin, the champion of the first year of Fengle, was only in the middle of the door (on the fifth grade), and you, Yucheng and Wei Youcheng were jokingly called the 'Golden Three'. ”

Wei You returned from supervising the administration of officials before he became an adult, and the Son of Heaven Jiaqi promoted him to be the servant of the Ministry of Officials (Zheng Sipinshang), and Jiang Anyi's Donggong Zhan Shi (Zheng Sipinshang) and Zhang Zhicheng's Huangzhou Thorn History (Zhongzhou Thorn History, Zheng Sipinshang), the three of them were the top three in the same session, and the officialdom was very angry about their encounters.

The news of the court soon spread throughout the capital, and everyone envied Jiang Anyi for getting the gift of the Son of Heaven "will not live up to the king", with the words of the Son of Heaven, even if the cleaning up of the official field offends all the officials in the world, Jiang Anyi will definitely not be damaged at all.

"This Jiang Anyi is really lucky, my father actually said something that was not negative. However, when King Gu heard him say at that time, 'How dare you avoid it with safety and misfortune', he was also moved, how can the emperor's brother He De be able to get the help of such figures. When Shi Chongjie talked about the affairs in the court, he still couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Ding Chu said angrily: "The minister's talent is not as good as Jiang Anyi, but a loyal heart is never inferior to him, if the prince has a life, Ding will not dare to spare his life when he goes to the soup." ”

Shi Chongjie said movingly: "I know Ding Qing's intentions, and I don't dare to live up to Qing." ”

Shen Wenqing said with a smile: "Anyway, Jiang Anyi's removal from the East Palace is a good thing for the prince, the prince will definitely make a mistake without the help of this person, the prince might as well stand by and wait for a good opportunity." ”

Sun Chaofeng laughed and said: "It's not easy to clean up Guantian, even if you live up to him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Jiang Anyi to get up if he falls." ”

Shi Chongjie didn't make a sound, but he looked down on Sun Chaofeng a little in his heart, Jiang Anyi knew the difficulty, and said that he didn't avoid misfortune and fortune, so that people should be respected, a courtier like Sun Chaofeng is just a tailwind, how can a person who is unwilling to take on a heavy responsibility be entrusted with it.

Shen Wenqing sighed secretly in his heart, interjected to stop Sun Chaofeng from continuing, and said: "Since Banzai wants to clean up the official field, the prince might as well check his own Huangzhuang first, and if he finds out the malpractice, he will make it clear to Banzai as soon as possible, so as to take the lead and give Banzai a good impression." ”

The land of the Chu'an Palace's mansion is far away in Chuzhou, with 800 hectares, and the Huang family sent someone to take care of it.

Glancing at the ministers around him, Shi Chongjie said: "Brother Ding, I bother you to go to Chuzhou, if there is anything to deal with for me." ”

Ding Chu said respectfully, Sun Chaofeng secretly regretted that he was a step late just now and let "Ding Shusheng" show his loyalty to the prince first, it seems that the prince's trust in him has increased by a point, above himself.

In the palace of Ningling County, Shi Qingguang's father and son were also discussing the matter of the day, but the focus of their attention was not on Jiang Anyi's gift of long live and not negative, but on the hidden worries brought to the palace by cleaning up the official field.

"Father, it seems that the Son of Heaven is determined to clean up the official field, how should we respond?" Shi Fangjue frowned, worried. There are not a few fields occupied and named by the Ningling County Palace, and there are official fields under the name of the Ningling Palaces in Qizhou, Bingzhou, Huangzhou, and Suzhou.

Shi Qingguang said unhurriedly: "What's the panic, now it's just a self-examination by the states and counties, and there are at least three or four months to get started, and there are no changes in such a long time, don't mess around, and wait and see what happens." The disadvantages of Guantian are not only our family, the Son of Heaven wants to do it, the princes and nobles in the court, which of the ten major families can get out of the way, naturally someone will jump out first to block the horizon, we just need to wait for the opportunity to move behind. ”

Shi Fangqi sighed: "How many things does our family send to the palace every year, in the end, those extra field taxes are not what the palace needs, if the Son of Heaven takes our family to open the knife, it is a little too unsympathetic, and the silver sent by our family in the third day of the Guanghuang Sun Xisan, the full moon, and the hundred days is nearly 300,000 taels." ”

"Longmu has no grace", Shi Qingguang sneered: "If you expect the Son of Heaven to intercede, it is better to return the extra land as soon as possible, and you can also be appreciated by the righteousness, otherwise Shi Shen's fate is waiting for you, my father and son." ”

Shi Fangqi was silent for a moment, his face turned hideous, and said: "Father, let's just go to the domain, the emperor is far away, I don't believe anyone dares to really move us, King Anqing can call the wind and rain in Renzhou, and we can also do it in Qizhou." ”

Shi Qingguang sneered and said: "King Anqi and his son have been operating in Renzhou for nearly fifty years, our father and son have been to Qizhou, people are noble and self-aware, such stupid words are ruthless in my heart, don't say it and show it." ”

Shi Fangqi was deflated, leaned back in his chair, and was speechless for a while.
