The Dragon Boat Festival dumpling banquet broke up unhappily, and the Son of Heaven didn't even drink a mouthful of soup, so he got up and went back to the imperial study.

Not all the people in the hall were in a heavy mood, and there were still people who didn't care about themselves, drank two mouthfuls of soup, and then carried the zongzi home for the festival. As prime ministers, Kong Province and Ma Sui really couldn't leave, the two discussed it slightly, and summoned six Shangshu and Jiuqingqing to go to apologize.

In the imperial study, Shi Fangzhen's anger did not subside, Kong Province and the others knelt down to apologize, he did not immediately call to get up, but looked gloomily at the ministers on the ground one by one, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, if they can really distinguish loyalty and treachery, I might as well drink it for dinner, and coldly ordered "Get up", and the ministers stood up.

Kong Province was about to speak, Shi Fang Zhenjing made an order: "The Yuanhua River embankment burst and brought out the fraud case of the Jiangnan Transit Division, and I have sent Lu Congming to investigate, but I have received a report that the case is complicated, and it involves the rebellion of Zhongshanzhai, and I am determined to escort the relevant personnel to the capital and hand them over to Dali Temple for interrogation. ”

Ma Suizhen said: "Long live, the Yuanhua River is still in the interrogation period, if the officials of the Transshipment Department are escorted into Beijing, who will maintain the river embankment?" ”

Shi Fangzhen sneered: "The county order of Linhua County, Yuan Decheng, will temporarily take charge of the transfer, and the transfer will make Li Yubo, the pawn of the Yamen, stay, and Chang Yubo, Wan Huaixing, Duan Shuang, Zou Sujie, Qiu Guangming and Xiong Yi'an will all be escorted into Beijing. Sent a decree to Ai Wei, asking him to temporarily send cadres to the yamen of the transfer envoy to help, and after the current section was released, the officials sent people to take up the post, and the official position was vacant and I was afraid that no one would pick it up. ”

Shi Fangzhen received Jiang Anyi, Ai Wei, Ji Datao, Lu Congming and two secret recitals, Jiang Anyi's recitals were written in detail, the causes and consequences were introduced in great detail, and the characters of the Yamen of the Transfer Division were clearly introduced, so Shi Fangzhen was like a treasure. Among these compromises, Shi Fangzhen undoubtedly believed Jiang Anyi's writing the most, but as the Son of Heaven, Shi Fangzhen understood the truth of listening and listening, so he wanted to escort Chang Yuchao and others to Beijing for retrial.

Kong Sheng's heart sank, he was familiar with the list of officials in the world, and the yamen of the Jiangnan Transshipment Division was all served except for one pawn, and it seemed that the Son of Heaven had done something to the river workers. Sure enough, Shi Fangzhen continued: "The Jiangnan Transshipment Division is rotten to the roots, and it is estimated that the Huanyang Transshipment Division is not much better. Huang Ping, Yushitai sent people to the Huanyang Transit Division to investigate, you will pass on the decree for me, if you can't find out the problem, you don't need to go back to Beijing to see me. ”

The words of the Son of Heaven were full of murderous aura, Huang Ping shuddered, and hurriedly bowed his head and responded: "Obey the order." ”

"It seems that I am too tolerant of some people, so I dare to deceive me one by one, and the dragon guard and the secret guard intervened in the investigation, and I found out the family background of the officials of the Yamen of the Transit Division. I remember that Sanyu Chao was impeached several times, and finally passed the test without incident, and reported to me that his family had no more than a small amount of assets, unlike a corrupt person. Fart, just the monthly food balance received one hundred and twenty taels, this is also a Qing official? Feng Zhong, you sent someone to carefully check for me, where is Chang Yuchao's family property hidden, I want everyone in the world to see if he is a Qing official? ”

Feng Zhong, who was standing hidden next to the pillar, hurriedly replied "yes". Everyone in the palace felt chills in their hearts, it seemed that the Son of Heaven not only wanted to kill people and establish power, but also tied people to the pillar of shame and was scolded by Shilin. There are many people in Beijing who have benefited from crossing the river work yamen, and Ning Ze has received a lot of benefits, and at this moment, he is afraid that he will be implicated, otherwise he has only been a minister of the Ministry of Works

The book is about to. Kong Province thought about it for a while, and decided not to persuade him, the Son of Heaven was on fire, and he would speak as appropriate when his anger had subsided.

In the East Palace, Shi Chongwei smiled at Xiong Zhiren and said: "My father-in-law is really like a god, and my father is really furious, and he asked people to escort the officials of the Jiangnan Transfer Department into Beijing, and my uncle is also among them, I'm afraid I will have to suffer some hardships." ”

Xiong Zhiren smiled and said: "It's okay, this time he took a trick and got in touch with Master Jiang in advance, which can be regarded as making some contributions, and there will be a reward afterwards." Prince Yi'an's letter has also seen it, this time is a good opportunity to deal with Lu Congming, and it can also hit Huang Ping's arrogance, and by the way, he can use the hand of Banzai to suppress King Chu'an. King Chu'an has been becoming more and more presumptuous recently, and today there is no condescension above the main hall, and the prince must not be guarded against. ”

Shi Chongwei's eyes showed a gloomy color, and said: "The queen mother said that when he reaches the age of eighteen, she will advise his father to let him go to Tibet, but King Gu sees that his father is very kind to him, and I am afraid that he will stay in the capital." I once heard my father mention that he intended to let Chongjie succeed Uncle Wang in charge of the Dragon Guard. ”

"I can't let King Chu An take over", Xiong Zhiren was startled, pulled off two beards, didn't care about the pain, and said hurriedly: "Long Wei Secret Guard is the minions of the Son of Heaven, if it is in the hands of King Chu An, it will inevitably hurt you, the crown prince." ”

"Alas, King Gu naturally knows, but Chongjie is very good at pleasing his father, pretending to be a filial son in front of him, and Concubine Huang Shu seems to be indisputable, but in fact, she is pleasing her father. Huang Ping took over as the imperial historian, the Huang family's power in the court increased greatly, and my father intended to suppress my power. Shi Chongwei sighed.

Xiong Zhiren pondered for a moment and said: "You are not in harmony with King Chu'an, it is estimated that the Son of Heaven also knows, the prince may wish to befriend King Luo Huai, lead him as an arm, and in the future, long live and turn his mind to hand over the Dragon Guard to King Luo Huai, then it will be like King Ning to the Son of Heaven." Even if it doesn't work, you can retreat to the second, the dragon guard and the secret guard are in the hands of King Chu'an and King Luohuai respectively, and once the crown prince ascends the throne, he can take back the authority and arrange it himself. ”

"Don't care about those battles in the court, you naturally have the upper hand as the prince, and the ministers of the court are very shrewd, and they will never abandon the prince and face the king of Chu'an, the prince should recruit more people of insight like Jiang Anyi, and follow the mind of the Son of Heaven. As for King Chu'an's small movements, let him go, and if you encounter an opportunity like this one, you might as well use the sword of the Son of Heaven to cut off his branches. ”

Xiong Zhiren took the bowl handed over by the palace maid, which contained a zongzi as white as jade, and opened it with a jade chopstick, revealing the red ham meat inside, and a rich meat fragrance emanated. After tasting a sip, Xiong Zhiren praised: "Salty and delicious, glutinous but not greasy, the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room is really good, and it is much better than the zongzi wrapped by Guozijian." ”

"If you like it, you might as well take more back, and the imperial dining room gave a lot to the lonely king." Shi Chongwei said.

Xiong Zhiren said: "This time Jiang Anyi gave the prince a big gift, the prince might as well send some gifts to his mansion, although he is not in the capital, but the people in his mansion will always tell him the prince's good intentions." There is also Fan Langzhong's mansion may as well send a copy, the three generations of the Fan family are famous in Shilin, Fan Bangyan is the husband of Princess Xincheng, and he is also the sister-in-law of the prince, this relationship may as well be taken care of, and there are ......"

…………

The Dragon Boat Festival in the capital gave birth to a lot of right and wrong, but Jiang Anyi, who was far away in Pingshan Town, ate the zongzi made by his mother as he wished.

I haven't seen my son for more than two years since I came home from Huazhou, and no matter how long Jiang Anyi's beard grows, in the eyes of Jiang Huang's family, he is just a son who studied hard under the lamp. The oil lamp was replaced with a candle, the thatched hut became a Chinese house, the mother and son were making a fuss, Jiang Huang asked about the situation of his grandchildren for a while, and for a while he talked about the danger of An Yong's war, Jiang Anyi's plan to take her to Beijing to live Jiang Huang was a little hesitant, and he was used to living at home and didn't want to go anywhere, but thinking about his son and grandchildren, Jiang Huang was happily worried.

The news of Jiang Tingshi's return home to visit relatives spread quickly, and the next day was the sixth day of the fifth month, and the guests came to visit outside the door. Last night, it was almost the fourth watch with his mother, and Jiang Anyi was originally going to sleep lazily, but he had to wash up in a hurry to meet the guests.

The guests came one by one, the hall was full of people, Yu County's order came, the two masters of the Yu family also came with three masters, the old man Guo came with his two sons, and there were many squires, literati living in the town, and students from afar, and the people who came behind couldn't find a place at all. Fortunately, Huang Sanye arrived in time to rescue the driver, and the visitors were divided into several groups, which were entertained by Huang Sanye, Huang Dongjiang and others.

Jiang Anyi smiled and made a noise, the county order of the broken family looked very humble in front of Jiang Anyi, and he had a feeling in the eyes of the two uncles of the Yu family and Guo Haiqing, they watched Jiang Anyi grow up, and the young man who was a little cautious and shy back then grew into a towering tree in a blink of an eye, and he wanted people to look up.

The house is always full, the wine in the cup is not empty, the aroma of wine spreads from the Jiang Mansion, and the whole town can feel the joy of the Jiang Mansion. The Yanlai Inn in the west of the town is not far from the Jiang House, and the laughter can be faintly heard here, and Yang Siqi stood with his hands behind his back in the small courtyard of the town, thoughtful.

At the junction of Duanzhou and Renzhou, Yang Siqi and others met Long Wei unexpectedly, and in order to cover the escape of his subordinates, Yang Siqi killed Long Wei and the others with heavy hands, leading Long Wei to pursue him. Running around with Long Wei around the big bend, there were more and more people chasing behind him, Yang Siqi went south again, and came to the Yuanhua River again, with his superhuman water nature, Yang Siqi jumped into the river and got rid of the tracking Long Wei.

Crossing the river is Texas, Yang Siqi remembered that Jiang Anyi is a native of Texas, and the world-famous Anlong Temple is near Jiang Anyi's hometown Pingshan Town, Yang Siqi moved Youxing, simply went to Pingshan Town to see, I have long heard that Pingshan Town is a famous flower town, you might as well go to see, and then visit Anlong Temple, Buddhism and Taoism may as well complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. He arrived two days earlier than Jiang Anyi, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Huadu, and went to Anlong Temple to drink a cup of Anlong tea, and when he returned to Pingshan Town, he happened to hear the townspeople say that Jiang Zhuangyuan had gone home.

Yang Siqi actually admired this old enemy very much, he asked himself to be the top master in the rivers and lakes, but Jiang Anyi is a high-ranking official, he is younger than him, and his kung fu is only higher than him.

Facing the direction of the Jiang Mansion, Yang Siqi said softly: "It's not that the enemies don't get together, we have to meet wherever we go, and Yang will come to visit tonight." ”
