Chapter 744: The cold wind is cold

The corners of Wei Huaichao's mouth showed a smile of appreciation and sarcasm, and he whispered to himself: "This young man has some means, but he is too eager to do things, and he seems to be stable but is actually flawed everywhere in the eyes of those who have a heart, and he can become a great tool after some time." ”

It is not good to be an official in the capital, Pan Heyi was appreciated by the Son of Heaven through the King of Chu'an, and his promotion to the fourth rank to become a vocational field is also a big news in the capital, and the letter that reached the heavens was not presented to the Son of Heaven through the Qingtian Division, which in itself is very revealing.

The charcoal in the brazier in the corner of the house made a loud noise, which dispersed the smile on the corner of Wei Huaichao's mouth. Wei Huaichao's face cooled again, if he would never get involved on weekdays, this matter would not bring down Jiang Anyi, at most he would smear some mud on his body, and Jiang Anyi's reputation in Shilin would be damaged.

Standing up and coming to the brazier, Wei Huaichao turned on the charcoal, he urgently needed to get a good recommendation, and had to use this matter to make a fuss. The red charcoal fire shrank his hand, Wei Huaichao lost the tongs in his hand, straightened up and thought, this matter is like a charcoal fire, if you want to keep warm without being burned in your hands, you need to think about it a little more.

His eyes fell on the tongs, Wei Huaichao had an idea, took the report letter and left the official office, and came to the courtyard on the right side of the yamen to find Wang Kefu, the right supervisor of Likuan. Walked out of the official hall and shivered, there was a heavy snow in the capital last night, and the snow in the courtyard of the official house was half a foot thick, and the footprints were scattered and printed. Without approaching, Wei Huaichao walked around the corridor, and when he passed through the gate connected to the two courtyards, he saw Wang Kefu wearing a fox fur, holding his hands caged, and watching the little officials pile up snow thoughtfully.

From afar, Wei Huaichao arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Kefu is a good Yazhi, enjoy the snow under the corridor, and he is not afraid of freezing." ”

Wang Kefu glanced at Wei Huaichao lazily and said, "Brother Wei has something to say, what are you looking for me?" If I go with me to impeach someone, I should not open my mouth. Wang is now eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and he is kind to others. ”

Wei Huaichao choked back before he could speak, panting with his mouth open, looking embarrassed. The corners of Wang Kefu's mouth curled, the color flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to look at the snow as if nothing happened. Wei Huaichao calmed down, and also stood in front of the porch with his hands in his hands, which made the little officials in the courtyard who were clearing the snow a little nervous, and they were in a hurry.

It was freezing cold, and the wind was blowing "whoosh" from under the porch, and I felt chills all over my body after standing for a long time. Wang Kefu stomped his legs and said, "Since Brother Wei is here, let's go and sit inside, drink a cup of tea and leave." ”

There are two pots of charcoal in Wang Kefu's official house, which are bamboo charcoal, and there is no smoke in the room. Wei Huaichao was indignant in his heart, and secretly scolded the little officials who paid charcoal in the household department, Wang Kefu was one left and one right with himself, but the treatment was different.

Drinking tea with a cold face, Wei Huaichao didn't say a word. But Wang Kefu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wei came over in a hurry, what's the matter?" ”

Wei Huaichao had the heart to take a handful, but he was worried that Wang Kefu would really ignore him, so he had to get off the donkey down the slope when he begged for help: "There is a letter of complaint reporting Jiang Anyi, Wei can't make up his mind, and wants to discuss it with Brother Wang." ”

The resentment on Wang Kefu's face flashed, he picked up the tea to cover it up, and when he put down the tea cup, he said calmly: "The left supervisor reports and the right supervisor admonishes, and each performs its own duties. ”

Wei Huaichao looked at Wang Kefu's expression in his eyes,

Sneered in my heart, pretend, see how long you can pretend. So the two of them sat down more calmly, not salty and indifferent, waiting for a pot of tea to drink, Wei Huaichao got up to say goodbye, Wang Kefu smiled and said: "Brother Wei, yesterday Zhuangshang sent a few pairs of bear paws, I let people simmer when I go out, and wait for the Ya to sit on my house, let's drink and enjoy the snow and gossip." ”

Wei Huaichao's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he smiled: "So it's bothering." ”

Among the top ten families, in addition to the Shi family, the Wang family is the Wang family, and the two Shi Wang families have many marriages, and the current queen is from the Wang family. The hereditary Marquis of Yicheng of the Wang family, the contemporary Marquis of Yicheng is Wang Keyan, the second son of the Wang family, and the eldest son is the famous Duke of Shenguo, Keming. Wang Keming was named the Duke of Shen Guo by the Son of Heaven, and built another mansion, which was left to Wang Keyan and Wang Kefu's brothers in the Yicheng Hou Mansion in Andingfang. Wang Keming, Wang Keyan, and Wang Kefu are the three brothers of the same mother, and the third Wang Kefei and the fourth Wang Keyun are concubines, and they live with mixed qualifications in the six departments.

Yicheng Hou Mansion covers an extremely wide area, which is divided into six large courtyards, separated by a wall, there is a moon gate, a corner door communicates, the lock door is an exclusive single courtyard, and the door is a family. Wang Kefu lives on the west side, is a courtyard with four entrances, Wei Huaichao followed Wang Kefu behind the hanging flower door, sighed secretly in his heart, all the way but saw the carved beams and painted buildings, the ridge and the cornices, magnificent, look closely at the flowers, birds, fish and insects under the eaves, the window lattices are lifelike, the verandah, the eaves of the wing room are hung with all kinds of parrots, thrushes, the cry is tactful, the servants, the mother-in-law are wearing fur clothes, the maid ring, the maid is wearing red and green, the clothes are gorgeous, seeing Wang Kefu coming to avoid the salute, it is really a rich prince's family. Come to the main house and look up the red sandalwood plaque, the three words of the big "only study hall", enter the middle of the house is the red sandalwood case, set up a two-foot high copper tripod, burn incense candles and place fruits and vegetables, hang a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, on both sides is Nanmu circle chairs, and the brocade mattress is placed on it in the cold.

Yahuan served tea, her posture was moving, Wei Huaichao restrained her mind, picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea is fragrant and sweet, and I can't help but praise "good tea".

"This is the nectar of Qingshan, Shaozhou Thorn Shi Li Laifeng dedicated to the queen's mother, my wife entered the palace and gave me a few baskets, if Brother Wei likes to go back, you might as well take some away." Wang Kefu's flat tone could not hide his pride, Wei Huaichao felt sour in his heart, the cold window for decades could not withstand the good life of life, wealth is in the sky, God has always been eccentric.

took out the report letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Kefu. Wang Kefu read it carefully, flicked the report letter with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Most of this matter is true, Han Taibao is worthy of enjoying the famous ministers of the temple, and Jiang Anyi is doing this to make him dizzy." It is no wonder that for readers, Han Wen Zhenggong's manuscript is much more attractive than real gold and silver, and people are not sages, and it is inevitable to make mistakes, hahahaha. ”

Wang Kefu's uncontrollable pleasure turned into laughter wafting in the Wei Shu Hall, and the cold wind howled outside the house, echoing each other, making people feel chilly.

Wei Huaichao twisted his body uneasily, and asked tentatively, "Brother Kefu, do you think you should report to the Son of Heaven?" Last time, Zhou Sihe impeached Jiang Anyi, but he was demoted, and even Lu Shangshu said that he was afraid that he would be bitten if he didn't succeed in beating a snake. ”

Wang Kefu had relatives in his heart, Zhou Sihe was still instigated by him, and the Son of Heaven did not pursue him afterwards, but he was also scared enough, so when he saw Wei Huaichao today, he would say the words of eating fasting and reciting Buddha and being kind to others.

Thinking about the gains and losses in his heart, Wang Kefu said: "Brother Wei, as a supervisor of Likuang, I naturally have to go up to heaven to listen to the news, otherwise the corpse will be a vegetarian meal and lose the grace of the king." Brother Wei only needs to find out the situation and report it according to the truth, even if there is a mistake, the Son of Heaven will not blame. "Wei Huaichao has been the middle of the imperial history, the imperial history can listen to the wind and do things, and it is his duty to report to the Son of Heaven to play the bronze kuang, and the reason why Zhou Sihe was demoted was actually affected by Lu Jialin.

"However, how to report it is negotiable." Wang Kefu said: "Brother Wei, the bear's paw is cooked, let's talk while eating." ”

Wu Zheng had passed, Wang Kefu sent Wei Huaichao, who was red and full of wine, to go beyond the door of the mansion, and a servant carefully helped Wei Huaichao into the carriage. Wang Kefu stood aside and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, slow down on the road." I'll take the time to mention what you said to my mother, just rest assured. ”

The carriage started slowly, Wei Huaichao put down the curtain, and burped with satisfaction, to be honest, the taste of bear's paws, but what he ate was that honor, and the most important thing was that Wang Kefu promised him that as long as he impeached Jiang Anyi to the sky, he would go to Niangniang to speak for his foreign appointment.

Waiting for the car to walk out of a section, Wei Huaichao lifted the back curtain of the carriage and looked back, followed by a truck, which was the Wang family's carriage, which was loaded with tea, bacon, delicacies and other New Year's goods, which were also given to him by Wang Kefu. Leaning comfortably on the cushion, Wei Huaichao was satisfied that no matter what the result was, he would not lose money on this trip.

Da Zheng Yuanzheng (New Year) gave a leave of nine days, Yuan Zheng before the first four after the four dynasties and the official palace sealed the holiday, Wei Huaichao did not want to add to the blockage of the Son of Heaven during the New Year, according to the agreement he will find an opportunity to impeach Jiang Anyi after the year, Wang Kefu proposed that the first day of the first month of the great dynasty was denied by him, the first big dynasty in the new year is the time to sing the praises of virtue, and he will not ask for trouble when he comes out and splashes dirty water.

Jiang Anyi had no idea about the upcoming storm, and the family was immersed in the joy of the New Year. Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, and when the time comes, the bells and drums on the street are ringing, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. After entering the court on the first day of the first month to participate in the ceremony, Jiang Anyi took his wife and children to visit relatives and friends, eat wine and pay New Year's greetings. On the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, Jiang Anyi made a horse lantern by himself, and the children carried a lamp in their hands, walking the streets and alleys with their parents, playing and playing, and Jiang Anyi felt extremely satisfied on such days.

For the literati, the Chinese New Year is a good time to enjoy the snow and the wind, the literary meeting is indispensable, the famous places in Beijing can be seen everywhere Confucian shirts fluttering, the green shirt scribes, white-faced scholars, Haoshou old Confucianism in the wine mellow tea fragrance talking, pointing out the country to promote the text, if a scholar Wanhu Hou.

A news circulated quietly during the secret Chinese meeting, and the interlocutors whispered that when the Qingtian Division asked Jiang Anyi to clean up the official fields in Jiangzhou, he asked Han Taibao's descendants for Han Taibao's manuscripts and books left behind. Although Jiang Anyi's reputation in Shilin is high, it is still far inferior to Han Taibao, especially this kind of bullying of the sages and descendants is even more shameful.

Gradually, the whisper turned into an open discussion, and during the party, he scolded Jiang Anyi for being a hypocrite, and he couldn't show the high style and integrity of a scholar, and the scolding reached Tian Shoulou's ears. Tian Shoulou hurried to Jiang's mansion and told Jiang Anyi everything he had heard.

Datongfang Xunfeng Teahouse, in the elegant room to the north, Pan Heyi met Wei Huaichao, and an impeachment against Jiang Anyi kicked off.
