Chapter 596: Tight Entanglement (2)
At a glance, Jiang Anyi saw that the crown princess was beautiful and had a dignified demeanor, and she should have been pregnant for six or seven months. Not daring to look more, Jiang Anyi stood sideways and looked at the ground.
The fragrant wind came first, and the delicate voice came into the ears: "This palace has seen Master Jiang." ”
Jiang Anyi bowed to the ground in the direction where the crown princess was standing, and said, "Minister Jiang Anyi, I have seen the crown princess, I wish the crown princess good health and good luck." ”
"Thank you Jiang Shi Jiyan. This palace has heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say many times that Master Jiang is a peerless national warrior, the champion of the three yuan and the first, and he is also a civil and military all-rounder, which is really the arm that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince relies on. ”
Xiong Zhiren appreciated his daughter's words, smiled and nodded in approval.
Jiang Anyi looked at the corner of his skirt and said, "The minister is frightened, and he is ashamed." ”
Shi Chongwei said with a smile: "Those diaries sent by Master Jiang from Fuluo County are still kept, and I often take them out to read when I have time, and there is always a harvest every time I read them. Aifei You Xijiangshi's poems, especially the song "Water Tune Song Head", last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Aifei also personally sang and danced, which is really wonderful. ”
"Your Highness, be cautious." The crown princess said a little shyly.
Xiong Zhiren also had a headache about his son-in-law's open-mouthedness, and seeing that Jiang Anyi was very restrained, he motioned for his daughter to leave.
The crown princess said: "I have a long-cherished wish to see Master Jiang, and the palace is overjoyed." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Jiang still had important matters to discuss, and the palace retired first. ”
"Send the crown princess." The sound of hooping faded away, and Jiang Anyi straightened up.
Xiong Zhiren said: "An Yi is the teacher chosen by the Son of Heaven for the prince, and the prince is the closest to An Yi among the ten Chongwen Pavilion direct scholars. Although An Yi soon went to Fuluo County, Lizhou, the contact with the prince has never been interrupted, and the old man was fortunate to witness An Yi's diary from the prince, revealing his love for the prince between the lines, which really moved the old man. ”
"Don't dare." Jiang Anyi knew that Xiong Zhiren in the East Palace today wanted to make his attitude clear and fully support the prince. But this is exactly the taboo that Zhang Keji has repeatedly warned him, the Son of Heaven is still here, and he must not do anything that he thinks is intended for the throne.
Of course, Xiong Zhiren will not let go of Jiang Anyi easily, and he is soft grinding and hard bubbles and pushing sideways, repeatedly "forced" Jiang Anyi to express his position. Jiang Anyi knew that it would definitely not work to make a false promise, so he simply said: "Jiang Mou has the grace of the Son of Heaven to know the situation, so he can have today's success, as a courtier, Jiang Mou is fiercely loyal to Long Live Wansui." The prince is the prince, and for Jiang, he is both a king and a minister, I should abide by the way of being a minister, and be loyal to the Son of Heaven first and then the prince. ”
The crown prince and Xiong Zhiren were not very satisfied with the answer given by Jiang Anyi, but finally recognized Jiang Anyi as "his own family", Xiong Zhiren no longer pressed to ask, but cordially talked to Jiang Anyi about the situation in Beijing and Beijing, as if he inadvertently pointed out which people were the prince's people and which were the crowds of King Chu'an. Jiang Anyi's situation when he first came to the capital was unknown, but he heard a lot of useful things, and when Xiong Zhiren mentioned Huang Xi, the deputy commander of the secret guard, Jiang Anyi's heart was shocked.
Three years before the Beijing Hajj, Song Sili, who was then the secretary of Guanglu Temple, mentioned this name to him, saying that this person was the enlightener of King Chu'an, and that there were rumors that Huang Xi had a conflict with him. It is not for nothing, especially for people in power like Dark Guard, who is worried about Jiang Anyi and Xinfei after returning to Huazhou, except for the hot spring incident in Tashan County, he really can't think of any other involvement with this Huang Gonggong, where does this contradiction start.
Xinfei couldn't rest assured, although she was already married and taught children at home, the previous relationship was still there, and people secretly inquired about the origin of this Huang Gonggong. The news said that this Huang Gonggong was in the palace since he was a child, and he was the godson of the eunuch Tang Wenzhong, and he had accompanied him to Texas to deal with the case of Zhang Hongchong (Zhang Bojin) colluding with Yuan Tianjiao. After returning to the capital, Huang Xi lost the will of Tang Gonggong, was thrown to Shujing Palace to wait for Huang Shufei, was bullied and was rescued by Shufei Niangniang, because of his literacy and was assigned to teach Chu An Wang enlightenment, by chance to please the Son of Heaven, since then it has been smooth sailing.
Feng Zhong, the eunuch of the palm seal, was ordered to form a secret guard, and because Huang Xi was literate and literate, he was also a role in the palace, so he pulled him into the secret guard to pacify. The Son of Heaven marched north into the desert, and Huang Xi was promoted to the deputy commander of the secret guard because of his espionage work, and became Feng Zhong's deputy, and it was rumored in Beijing that Huang Xi would replace Feng Zhong.
Hearing this news, Jiang Anyi remembered the past and felt deeply uneasy. Zhang Hongchong's father and son framed him back then, and he was sent to prison by his counterattack, thinking that both father and son were dead in prison, so it seems very likely that Zhang Bojin replaced Huang Xi into the palace, if the situation is really as guessed, then Huang Xi (Zhang Bojin) must hate himself to the bone.
Jiang Anyi told Xin Fei about the Zhang family's father and son, and Xin Fei was also very nervous when she heard Jiang Anyi's speculation, she knew best about institutions like Long Wei and Secret Guard, that is, the poisonous snake lurking in the dark, and he would inevitably die if he bit it, but unfortunately the Son of Heaven would no longer let Xin Fei serve in Long Wei or Secret Guard, otherwise knowing this and knowing the other side could prevent trouble.
The intelligence also mentioned that Huang Xi had recruited a lot of good people in the rivers and lakes to work hard, and Jiang Anyi saw the name of Jiang Jian, the enemy of the year, in the list, it seems that this Huang Gonggong is gradually becoming a fledgling, no wonder he will pose a threat to Feng Zhong. On the bright side, Jiang Anyi is not afraid of Huang Xi, if Huang Xi is really Zhang Bojin, Jiang Anyi can easily make this remnant of the Yuantian Sect die without a place to be buried, and if this Huang Gonggong wants to attack him, he can only hide in the dark, be careful.
Jiang Anyi smiled and comforted Xinfei, but Huang Xi's incident became a hidden danger in his heart. Hearing Xiong Zhiren mention it today, Jiang Anyi's thoughts were spinning, wondering if he could use the power of the prince to get rid of this Huang Gonggong.
The time had come, and the prince was ready to leave him for dinner. Jiang Anyi hurriedly got up and excused himself: "The classmates of Zechang Academy are in the drunken building tonight to catch the wind for the minister, and the minister has already responded in advance, so I am afraid it would be rude not to go, so the minister retired first." ”
Hearing the word Zechang, Xiong Zhiren smiled even more, with Jiang Anyi's prestige, he will be the leader of the Ze Party in more than ten years, and the chances of winning with the help of the Ze Party will increase by two points. Immediately smiled and said: "Then don't delay An Yi, and bother An Yi to convey the prince's admiration to the adults of Zechang Academy." At that time, Zechang Academy was the first to advocate the trend of donating money to help students, which benefited many poor students, and the prince also donated a lot of silver taels in private, but the prince was not public, and he did not show off like King Chu'an. ”
It is almost dusk from the East Palace, the afterglow of the sun passes through the Chengtian Avenue, the avenue in front of the palace gate exudes a charming brilliance, and even the carriages and horses and figures walking on the street are covered with golden silhouettes, as if they are contaminated with the nobility of the imperial city, and the wealth is compelling.
Walking against the light, seeing his long figure, Jiang Anyi felt exhausted. Everything in Beijing makes people feel like they are in a deep quagmire, and they are more tired than fighting on the battlefield for a day.
Back at home, Li Shicheng was in a hurry. Jiang Anyi went to the Hajj to the Son of Heaven, but he didn't come back, seeing that the time for the party was coming, Li Shicheng couldn't wait to fly into the palace to take Jiang Anyi out. Hearing the footsteps, Li Shicheng was relieved, put on a smiling face and said: "Anyi, you are finally back, but I'm in a hurry, change your clothes and let's go together." ”
For the banquet of Xundrunken Building, Jiang Anyi knew that it was another "literary fight", and he was really tired from this day, and he couldn't live in peace until night. Returning to the house to change out of the official robe, and carefully hiding the gold medal, Jiang Anyi made up his mind to leave the capital with Huang Zhu south early tomorrow morning, out of sight and out of mind, hiding for a few days first.
Outside the door, Li Shicheng was already urging, and Jiang Anyi left with a wry smile. Looking for drunken building Jiang Anyi came once, knowing that this is the industry of Yu Jingshan, a person in the Ze Party, more than ten years have passed, this Dali Temple has become a young master of Dali Temple from the four products, but the age is close to sixty, and it will be a few years later.
Along the way, Li Shicheng introduced the changes in the characters of the Ze Party, Deng Huaisu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, had already sat upright, Guo Congshi of the original Ministry of Rites in the third year of the establishment of the military, and Xue Zhiren of Fuzhou Assassin Shi succeeded him, Deng Huaisu moved from the right to the left, although the rank has not changed, but the power is greater.
"Deng Shilang is fifty and two this year, and it is estimated that there is no hope of sitting in the position of Shangshu." Li Shicheng joked: "So he wants to sit firmly as the leader of the Ze Party, so that everyone from Zechang Academy will take him as the leader, and with the help of everyone, he may be able to rise." ”
"Where is Yu Mingyang's official residence now?" Jiang Anyi didn't want to listen to Li Shicheng's sour words, so he diverted the topic and asked.
"Yu Mingyang was released eight years ago, and now he is doing a farewell car in Chenzhou, he is Deng Huaisu's iron party, although he often writes to his colleagues in Beijing outside Beijing, waving the flag and shouting for Deng Shilang." Li Shicheng said.
From Li Shicheng's words, it can be heard that this eldest brother's ass is completely sitting on Fang Linbin's side.
"Does An Yi remember Wei Huaichao and Master Wei?" Li Shicheng said excitedly.
Thinking of Wei Huaichao's mean face, Jiang Anyi was bored in his heart, this person was enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact he was mean and unkind, he was a typical cool official, and when he was the left prisoner, he secretly targeted himself with Wang Kefu, the right prisoner. The people in the Ze Party also respected him, so although he was in a high position, he was far away from his classmates, and he was rarely invited to attend ordinary meetings. Wei Huaichao and Deng Huaisu failed in the competition, so they simply did not participate in the gathering of the Ze Party and promised to be a pure minister.
Jiang Anyi learned from Tian Shoulou's letter that Yan Hualou, the imperial historian, sent a letter to the emperor, and Wei Huaichao was bent on succeeding him, and it was said that the Son of Heaven was also a little moved. Later, Yan Hualou admonished, saying that Wei Huaichao was jealous, and he would repay him, once he was appointed as the imperial historian to master the way of speech, I am afraid that the court would be a bloody storm, and Shi Fangzhen was transferred to Hengzhou Assassin Shi Huangping as the imperial historian. After the hope was disappointed, Wei Huai was oversized and lost, intoxicated with mellow wine and beauty, and no longer thought about his career, I don't know why he was enthusiastic about adding momentum to Fang Linbin this time.
The banquet was set at the time of the ceremony, a quarter of an hour had passed, Deng Shilang and other people in the Ze Party had already arrived, and just after the time of the ceremony, Fang Linbin and Wei Huaichao also came together, and the guests arrived, only Jiang Anyi, the protagonist of today's reception banquet, was not present.
Because he had to wait for Jiang Anyi, before the banquet was held, more than 40 people gathered in several circles, and discussions were already rising.
