Text Chapter 76 The court fights

"I am glad to hear that Jun shines at the peak of Fengshan, and I am overjoyed, and I hate to be among the Yixiang Pavilion and listen to the wonderful sound of Jun. Slave since childhood, like music, good collection of the world's famous instruments, a few years ago to get a gift of a 'Xiang Concubine flute', now transferred to Anyi, I wish you to see things and think of people. Don't say goodbye that day, it's because the master has something, don't worry. The examination period is approaching, I wish you good news in the morning, and the slave will be in retreat in the near future, and he will come to see him after leaving the customs. A farewell to the near month, lovesickness is bitter, and it is embarrassing to be emotionally sad. Xinfei on. ”

Jiang Anyi looked at it several times in a row, pasted the paper on his face, smelled the faint fragrance, and his thoughts came like a tide bursting the embankment, Xin Fei's smile filled his mind, and he was drunk, and his heart was also drunk......

Open the long brocade box, the yellow velvet cloth backing, inside is a tube of blue-green flute, which is actually a whole piece of beautiful jade dug and carved. The spots on the flute are just like tear stains, and they are like cloud brocade. Pick up the flute, start heavy, look closely at the texture is naturally fine and straight, the flute wall is thick, tap lightly with your fingers, and the sound is rich.

Jiang Anyi did not know that the Xiangfei flute was made by the Ming Emperor of the Wei Dynasty himself, the Great Wei Emperor loved the rhythm of music, especially good at making the flute, the world called the "Emperor of Sound", he had taken a good jade, made a three-pipe flute, all of which are treasures in the flute. After the death of Emperor Wei Ming, the Xiangfei flute was collected in the treasure building, when Wei died, the palace was destroyed in the war, and the musical instruments were all destroyed in the fire, and everyone thought that the Xiangfei flute was also destroyed in the fire, but they did not expect to be able to see it again after four hundred years.

The sound of the flute rises leisurely, flowing through the heart like a clear spring, and it flutters in the moonlight, with a thick longing, evoking a faint sadness. The sound of the flute in Fan Shiben's ears is the ardent gaze of the old father before leaving, and the tears of his son's reluctance; In Zhang Zhicheng's ears, the flute is an endless longing for his hometown and a vision for a better life; The flute sound in Zhang Yuzhu's ears is sorrow, affection, and expectation; The sound of the flute in the ears of the stone is the sound of the wind above the reeds of the small river at the edge of the village, and it is the father and mother calling for themselves......

Hundreds of people and thoughts, lovers of lovesickness, wanderer's desolation, hometown longing, all turned into the low and thick sound of the flute. Countless people listened attentively, savored sadness and joy, and indulged in the beauty of the flute.

Early the next morning, there were a lot of guests visiting the hotel, Jiang Anyi's outstanding performance at the top of Fengshan, as well as Zhang Zhicheng's "Fengshan Collection Preface" are widely known, Fan Shiben can also set foot on the top of the mountain, the three of them live together, the good deeds are called "Tongfu Sanyou", Tongfu, the name of the hotel.

It wasn't until the end of the afternoon that Jiang Anyi took the time to go to Yufu. Yu Qing greeted him with a smile, and after yesterday's Fengshan gathering, the relationship between the two was much closer.

There is a festival, Yu Zhijie's expression is a little solemn, and he asked a few words about the situation of yesterday's gathering, and said: "You can participate in more such gatherings, which is beneficial to your reputation." You can win the favor of Shen Guogong, and this department will try to help a lot. If it's convenient, take more Qinghuan with you, although you are a junior brother, but you have to take care of Qinghuan in the future. ”

Jiang Anyi nodded yes, and seeing Yu Zhijie's somewhat absent-minded look, he asked, "Is there something wrong with the teacher?" ”

"Alas, Banzai wants to re-clear the world's acres of land, and Liu Shangshu of the household department shirks the lack of manpower, I see that Banzai intends to let me go back to the household department to assist, and I am hesitating to go." Yu Zhijie said with a frown.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the Ministry of Officials is the only official rank on the fourth rank among the six departments, if you return to the household department, it will not be a downgrade. But if you can't shirk it, the Son of Heaven must have an opinion on himself, and he can do a good job of checking the acres of land, and it is estimated that Liu Shangshu's position The Son of Heaven will be his own. It's just that if you want to check the acres of land, you will inevitably offend the world's magnates, and Yu Zhijie will inevitably have some gains and losses.

Jiang Anyi didn't know the gains and losses, and said: "How can things be as good as you want, but just be worthy of your heart." ”

Yu Zhijie applauded, and said: "Anyi, what you said is very good, the old man has already made up his mind, if he wants to ask next time, the old man decided to go back to the household department to help Liu Shangshu." ”

After solving the troubles, Yu Zhijie's face flashed with a smile and said, "Today is the twenty-fourth, and it is estimated that the chief and deputy examiners of the examination will be determined at the end of the month." The test has always been arranged by the Ministry of Rites, have you been to the Tribute Academy? ”

Seeing Jiang Anyi nodded, Yu Zhijie continued: "The rules and subjects of the general examination and the township examination are the same, you have participated in the township examination, what should you pay attention to, I don't need to say more." If you need something, tell the Fuzhong directly, I will send someone to prepare, don't see outside. ”

"I don't know who the chief examiner Tianzi likes this time?" Jiang Anyi asked, as a candidate, this is the most concerned issue in addition to the exam questions.

Yu Zhijie hesitated for a moment, but still said it, "I heard that Qin Hongrun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Minggu, the Chengcheng of the Imperial History, Zhang Da'an, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Li Shihong, the scholar of Jixian Palace, and others are all possible. ”

Then Yu Zhijie briefly mentioned the character of the four people, Jiang Anyi was secretly happy in his heart, as long as he had a name, he could find the articles of these four people from the treasure book "Like Holding Luck Collection" after he went back, figure out the preferences of these four people, prescribe the right medicine, and get twice the result with half the effort.

Yu Zhijie saw Jiang Anyi's joy, and warned earnestly: "Anyi, you are smart-minded, alert and changeable, you must not use your mind on crooked ways and lose the original intention of reading." You must know that you are still young, even if you are not in the current subject, you must be in the next subject, and you need to know the thick accumulation to be thin. ”

Jiang Anyi stood up and respectfully taught.

After dinner, when I returned to my residence, Zhang Zhicheng and Fan Shiben were not there, and I heard Zhang Yuzhu say that he was dragged out to eat. Jiang Anyi returned to his room and took out the book of "Like Holding and Transporting Collection" from the package, according to the name of Yu Shi, the articles of the four people are in the book.

These four people are all Jinshi in the Xuandi period, Qin Hongrun is the champion of high school, Li Shihong is from Tanhualang, Huang Minggu and Zhang Da'an are both from the second class of Jinshi, and they are ranked high, it seems that they are all people with real talents and learning, no wonder the Son of Heaven likes them.

Jiang Anyi carefully studied the articles of several people and found that the strategies of these people were all pragmatic, their words were rigorous and concise, and their arguments were sonorous and powerful, which was very infectious. By Wen Zhiren, these people are probably doers who make generous statements.

When Zhang Zhicheng and Fan Shiben came back, Jiang Anyi told the news that Tan had heard, and the three of them got together and discussed until midnight before they rested. In the next few days, the three of them put aside socializing and gathered together every day to study strategies and discuss current literature. The elder brother no longer drinks everywhere, which makes the little girl Zhang Yuzhu happy.

On the first day of the fourth month, it is the day of the Shuowang pilgrimage, and the officials of the Kyoji civil and military ministry above the ninth rank must participate. The main hall of the Xuanzheng Palace displays the guard of honor, sets up the black wall, the kicking seat, the smoker, the incense case, the imperial historian Shen Jizhen purple robe and gold belt, with the subordinate officials standing proudly in the west of the Xuanzheng Palace, the four servants of the imperial history run back and forth, guiding the hundred officials to work. Wendong and Wuxi, all the officials are in place in the palace according to their ranks, the Son of Heaven ascends to the throne, and the ceremony sings and praises three times and nine bows.

The dynasty is over, and the Son of Heaven retreats. Prime Minister Wei took the six Shangshu, Shilang and related officials to the Zichen Hall behind the Xuanzheng Palace, and there was a pavilion between the Xuanzheng Hall and the Zichen Palace, which was what the world called "entering the cabinet". Zichen Hall is the place where the Son of Heaven lives, and it is more casual to call and ask about politics here on weekdays, and it is extremely glorious for the minister to be able to enter the Zichen Hall to perform and discuss matters. However, these people are used to coming and going, but they are not shocked.

Shi Fangzhen, the Son of Heaven, Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old today, was in the prime of life, watching the large group of white-haired old men under the stairs bowing to him, frowning slightly, and giving Wei Yishen a seat, today's Chang Dynasty officially began.

First of all, Liu Xinming, the head of the household, reported on the preparations for cleaning up the fields, and heard Liu Xinming babbling for a long time, but there was no progress in what should be done, and a wave of anger rose in the chest of Emperor Zheng Shi Fangzhen, this old thing occupies a position and does not do things, and there are many crooked things, and I can't talk about him.

Suppressing his anger, Shi Fangzhen put on a gentle smile and said comfortingly: "Liu Aiqing has worked hard, you are the old minister of the first emperor, and I am relieved that you are in the household department." Last time you mentioned that there was not enough manpower in the household department, I thought that Yu Aiqing was the waiter of the household department, and he was familiar with the affairs of the household department, so I intended to let him go to the household department to help Liu Aiqing, I don't know what Liu Aiqing wants? ”

"Of course, it's good to know how to save energy." Liu Xinming shook his white head and said to the old: "The old minister is old, and he always feels that his energy is not as good as before, he is dizzy after sitting for a long time, and the old man begs for the bones of Long Live and goes home to raise his days." ”

This old thing threw his hat at every turn to show his face, Shi Fangzhen was so angry that his face turned pale, and he smiled and comforted: "Liu Aiqing should be old and strong, I need the support of an old minister like you, next time I am not allowed to resign at every turn, I still have to rely on you humerus old ministers." Yu Aiqing, are you willing to go back to the household department to help Liu Shangshu temporarily? ”

Yu Zhijie understands that Liu Xinming has been in charge of the household department for more than ten years, and he was crushed to death by him when he was a waiter, don't look at what Liu Xinming said nicely, and a hundred people in his heart are unwilling to return to the household department by himself. However, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to himself, Yu Zhijie thought of what Jiang Anyi said yesterday, and responded angrily: "Long live, the minister is willing to go." ”

Shi Fangzhen nodded with satisfaction and smiled happily: "Yu Aiqing has the courage to do things, and I am very relieved. That is to say, I have appointed you as a clear envoy, and as a servant of the ministry, I will check the acres of land in the world. ”

"Obey."

Qingtian envoy, the minister of the Qin mission, the people next to him looked at Yu Zhijie enviously, if this matter is done to meet the will of the Son of Heaven, this Lord Yu is estimated to rise by a rise. Liu Xinming's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word. Prime Minister Wei Yishen sat on the embroidered dragon pier, his eyes seemed to be closed or not, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping, and what happened in the court was like a spring breeze, and he didn't care.

Guo Congshi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Long live, the Ministry of Rites counts that a total of 8,543 people have participated in the examination this year, and the relevant matters have been completed. ”

After solving the Qingtian matter, Shi Fangning was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "There are hundreds more people in this branch than in the previous session, it seems that my Da Zheng Wenfeng is flourishing, and the Ministry of Rites has made great contributions." ”

Shi Fangzhen paused for a moment and said, "I have seen all the candidates for the chief examiner submitted by the Ministry of Rites, they are all well-educated people, and they are familiar with government affairs, so they are all good. The main examination of this subject is Li Shihong, and the deputy chief examination is Duan Cizong of the Criminal Department. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Wei Yishen's squinted eyes, it was not surprising that Li Shihong was the chief examiner, but Duan Cizong was just a Langzhong of the Criminal Department, from the official of the fifth grade, how did the Son of Heaven take a fancy to him?
