The people who participated in the examination entered the Gongyuan, which made the restless Yongchang City a little quieter. Jiang Anyi wanted to take a good look at Yongchang City before the appointment came down, and the scenery of Da'en Tower, Wangyuan Tower, and Qingshui Garden had been absent for six years.

After a day of shopping with the guards, he returned to his residence, and saw Lao Xia, who was the gatekeeper, circling in front of the door, Jiang Anyi knew that something was wrong, and urged him to come forward and shouted: "Uncle Xia, but someone is visiting?" ”

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Lao Xia shouted: "Master, you are back, a father-in-law came to deliver the decree at noon, and waited for half an hour before leaving, telling you that you will arrive at Changle Gate at the beginning of tomorrow, and I want to see you." Lao Xia was very anxious, in his opinion, it was a big sin to make the angel wait for a long time, and he wanted to kill his head. The main family only enters Beijing once in three years, but Lao Xia feels that the main family is really good, he is generous, the salary has never been discounted, and there are some benefits during the New Year's holidays.

Jiang Anyi was a little moved, he encountered a lot of troubles when he came to the capital, but he didn't expect to feel warm in his own janitor. smiled and comforted Lao Xia a few words, telling him that this is a common thing, long live will not blame, and Lao Xia left with peace of mind.

The next day was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and Jiang Anyi remembered the prince's complaints, and it was really not peaceful to rest on the day. Came to Changle Gate a quarter of an hour in advance, and it is one of the five gates of the Inner Palace. The sun gently shone on the gate of the Great Red Palace, the copper nails on it shone with golden light, and the guards guarding the door stood as tall as a pine, looking ahead, without looking at Jiang Anyi.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, I saw a eunuch walking out of the palace gate, Jiang Anyi knew, it was Huai'en who had passed the decree to himself, yesterday Lao Xia Tou said that it was Gonggong Lu, is it not him. Seeing Jiang Anyi in front of the door, Huai En smiled and walked quickly to Jiang Anyi, and said coldly: "Lord Jiang, after seven years, the demeanor is still the same." Yesterday's decree, I originally wanted to come to the adult to tell the old, but I waited for a long time and didn't wait for the adult, and the errand in the palace didn't dare to delay more, and the adult missed it. ”

Jiang Anyi came to his senses, this Huai'en eunuch must have been involved with the palace eunuch Lu Mingli, and added the surname Lu, which should be more powerful. immediately smiled and said: "It turned out to be an old man, Jiang was rude, and his father-in-law was free on another day, and Jiang made amends for his sin." As he spoke, he quietly handed over the prepared gift.

Last night, the father-in-law who heard Lao Xia say that he passed the decree waited for half an hour, although Jiang Anyi was not afraid, but he didn't want to offend people, so he wanted to meet and send Zhang Twenty Taels' silver ticket, and later brought a bottle of perfume on his body, which was prepared for important people. Perfume is becoming more and more popular in the capital, and a hundred taels of silver are often priceless, Li Shicheng asked for two bottles from him, and happily told him that this is a woman's treasure, and there is no need to listen to Hu's nagging for at least two months.

Perfume supplies 2,000 bottles to the palace every year, and the nobles are gone, and most of the palace maids can only smell the fragrance and complain. The magic of this thing is too great, who doesn't expect to be able to attract the attention of the Son of Heaven by relying on it, and the beauties who can be selected into the palace are all beauties, that Xiao Beauty was lucky to be favored by the Son of Heaven, and once the rain and dew gave birth to the prince, the mother relied on the son to be in the harem to get the wind and the rain to get the rain, maybe the next opportunity will fall on her own body. The father-in-law who can leave the palace has become the darling in the eyes of these beauties, and he asks them to buy a bottle of perfume, even if it costs two or three times the price.

Lu Huaien saw that it was a small bottle, and his face immediately smiled into a flower, and he took it and put it on his sleeve and said: "Lord Laojiang has been waiting for a long time, it's not that our family intends to be slow, it's really just the words of Gonggong Liu, please go to Leyouyuan to see the driver, our family is trotting along the way, please come with our family." ”

Jiang Anyi followed Lu Huaien into the palace, and said with a smile in his mouth: "That maybe, now that Father-in-law Lu is a big peng spreading his wings and soaring into the sky, how can he still put the old man in his eyes, and it is estimated that the people who invite you to dinner will be in the New Year." ”

Everyone loves sycophants, not to mention the eunuch who is despised by others, Lu Huai

En's heart was warm, and he said: "Lord Mengjiang can afford our family, and our family must be cheeky to bother." ”

Talking and laughing when he came to Leyouyuan, he could see the bright yellow figure in the water pavilion from a distance, Lu Huaien put away his smile and whispered: "Lord Jiang, our family can only send you here, you just have to go." But the Son of Heaven seems to be in a bad mood today, so be careful. ”

Jiang Anyi thanked him and walked towards the water pavilion. In the water pavilion are Shi Fangzhen's father and son, sitting and standing, Liu Weiguo led a few people to wait outside the pavilion. Jiang Anyi did not hesitate to go in or wait outside, Liu Weiguo said with a smile: "Long live Lord is listening to the prince explain what he has learned for ten years inside, and he has already made a will just now, Lord Jiang is here, just go in and listen to it together." ”

Walking into the pavilion, Shi Fangzhen motioned for Jiang Anyi to stand on his right side, and the crown prince Shi Chongwei talked about governing the country with etiquette, and talked endlessly about the time of a pillar of incense. Jiang Anyi listened to it with relish, and secretly praised the gentleman who taught the prince what he said was really good, quoting scriptures and classics in a clear manner, he is really a master of etiquette, could it be He Ziying, most of the close ministers around the prince have been moved, and I don't know if this one is still there.

After the prince finished speaking, Shi Fangzhen turned his head and asked Jiang Anyi, "What do you think the prince said?" ”

What else could Jiang Anyi say, and praised repeatedly: "The prince has the essence of the master's intentions, and the minister is quite inspired by the law......"

"Just talk about the shortcomings, don't talk about it." Shi Fangzhen interrupted Jiang Anyi's words.

Jiang Anyi was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "Governing the country with etiquette is the royal way, and observing etiquette will lead to harmony in the world and even great governance." However, the world is easy to see profit and forget righteousness, and relying on etiquette alone to restrain me may not have much effect, so the saint must educate the people so that the people know the etiquette, and at the same time, with the help of the law, the punishment of breaking the law can really make people vigilant. ”

"Wei'er, you heard me." Shi Fang Zhendao: "As a king, you must govern the country with courtesy, but you must rely on the law to restrain the people, and it is the way to govern the country by complementing each other." ”

Shi Chongwei respectfully promised. Jiang Anyi thought that the prince's schoolwork inspection was over, but the Son of Heaven cited a few more government affairs in the DPRK and China for the prince to comment, and asked Jiang Anyi to say a few government affairs that happened in Huazhou for the prince to analyze, until it was almost noon. Watching the prince leave in a hurry, Jiang Anyi sighed in his heart, it is not easy to be a prince.

"The way of civil and military affairs is one by one, and His Majesty is too strict with the prince." Jiang Anyi admonished.

Shi Fangzhen stood up, looked at the water outside the pavilion and said: "As the prince of the country, he is naturally more tired than others, if he can't even endure this bit of hardship, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the country to him." Jiang Anyi, I didn't bother to talk to you last time I made the Hajj, but today I have to talk to you in detail. ”

"Listen to me."

Shi Fangzhen asked Jiang Anyi to sit down and said, "This is not a court, you don't have to be formal, you can speak freely, I don't blame you." Jiang Anyi, I ask you, what do you think of the prince? ”

Jiang Anyi's soul was almost frightened, so he knelt on the ground and said, "The prince is the prince of the country, how can he ask each other in private." This is not something that the minister can say, and please don't say it to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to listen. ”

Shi Fangzhen waved his hand and said, "Jiang Qing sit down, I won't say anything." This time I have come to Beijing, and I intend to keep you in Beijing, but I have not yet decided where to place you. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China have different opinions, Jiang Qing is a national soldier, and I am afraid that I will waste good materials by placing them at will. ”

Jiang Anyi's buttocks just fell off the stool, and he couldn't help but kneel down again, and thanked: "Your Majesty's grace, the minister is grateful." ”

Shi Fangzhen smiled: "Come on, don't kneel around, your knees don't hurt, my head is still dizzy, let's go with me." ”

The water pavilion walks slowly along the roadside of the lake, the grass is still on the side of the road, the lake water is clear and transparent, the wind sends the fragrance of flowers, the spring breeze warms people, and Jiang Anyi's mood relaxes. Shi Fangzhen bent down and folded a long grass and shook it in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously thinking about his thoughts.

Jiang Anyi learned that he could not return to Huazhou, and immediately followed the person who replaced him, and asked boldly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to inquire about who is the person who will be reappointed in Huazhou?" ”

Shi Fangzhen glanced at Jiang Anyi sarcastically, and said mockingly: "Don't worry, I won't let people touch your silver." Jiang Qing has been in Huazhou for six years, and has set up a big industry, I heard that Xiangxueju's net profit is more than one million a year, and it is also a perfume industry, Jiang Qing has good means, no wonder he is called a golden hand. ”

Jiang Anyi knew that what he did in Huazhou could not be hidden from the Son of Heaven, not to mention others, the other driver Fang Shishu around him was clearly a close friend of the Son of Heaven, and he would definitely tell the Son of Heaven about his actions in Huazhou. However, what he did in Huazhou did not use his power for personal gain, he relied on his brains to make a fortune, and others could not say anything.

"You have been in Huazhou for six years, and I am very relieved that I have not seen the wrong person. As for making some fortune yourself, as long as the means are bright, I still have this burden. Shi Fangzhen said slowly: "Some time ago, the Japanese Ministry of Japanese officials presented me with a document on the promotion of Huazhou to Zhongzhou, and I have already approved it, and the Middle Academy should have issued an edict, and there will be ten Zhongzhou in the world in the future." I hope that the world is all Shangzhou and Zhongzhou, and there is no Xiazhou. I am ready to let Fang Shishu continue to serve as the assassin history, he has worked hard for me for most of his life, and it is time for him to enjoy it for a few days. ”

Jiang Anyi put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, hard work, civil and military service, and dedication to the mind, has already opened a prosperous era. ”

Shi Fangzhen laughed loudly, Liu Weiguo, who followed five zhang away behind him, secretly admired, the Son of Heaven frowned tightly in the past two days, and he had never laughed, Lord Jiang really won the favor of Banzai, I don't know what he said to make Banzai so happy.

"Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi, you are about to become a minister now, the prosperous era is open, I am self-aware, and I am still a little hot." Shi Fangzhen stopped laughing, and said: "After I calm down the troubles in the north, calm down and govern for a few years, and I will definitely create the rule of Jianwu that will be praised by future generations." ”

The spring breeze is cool, blowing the placket, and the monarchs and ministers are standing by the lake, full of spirit.

Shi Fangzhen withdrew his gaze from the distant mountains and said in a deep voice: "I used troops against the Northern Desert last time, but unfortunately I didn't compete for all the success. After four years of reciprocation, now the treasury is full, the armament is sufficient, and the soldiers are strong, which is the opportunity to pacify the Northern Desert in one fell swoop. But there are always some ringworm scabies that distract me, which is annoying and hateful. ”

The Son of Heaven was referring to the collapse of the Yuanhua River, and Jiang Anyi saw that Shi Fangzhen was full of anger, and said angrily: "The minister is willing to share the worries for Your Majesty." ”

Shi Fangzhen turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Jiang Qing, I didn't misunderstand you, your loyalty is the same, I am very happy." The political affairs hall has already planned to let Cheng Lu from Ming Wei Qin to see each other, I feel that there are many disadvantages of river work, and I am not very at ease with him. Since Jiang Qing is willing to share my worries, I will order you to go and investigate secretly, try not to alarm the local government and the Qincha, and tell me the truth after finding out, and I want to see what kind of virtue these officials have. ”

Jiang Anyi responded. Shi Fangzhen summoned Liu Weiguo loudly, and when Liu Weiguo approached, he ordered: "Go to the bookcase on the left side of my imperial study and take a gold medal." ”

Liu Weiguo received the order, and he didn't work hard to send a gold medal, and Shi Fangzhen handed the gold medal into Jiang Anyi's hands. Jiang Anyi has seen such a gold medal, engraved with four words "such as I come in person", when he went to Bingzhou with Duan Cizong to investigate the disappearance of disaster relief grain, Duan Cizong once handed him the same gold medal to make it convenient for him to act, this gold medal represents the authority of the Son of Heaven, I didn't expect that I also had the day when I held it.

"This gold medal will be handed over to you for the time being, and I will return it to me when I return to Beijing. This gold medal can control officials below the fourth grade and make it easier for you to act, but don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary. Shi Fangzhen confessed.

Jiang Anyi knelt on his knees, raised his head high, and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
