The snow fell in the evening, and Wei Huaichao said goodbye to Pan Heyi with satisfaction in the heavy snow, and he clearly found out from Pan Heyi's mouth that Jiang Anyi had brought back a cart of books and manuscripts of Han Wen Zhenggong, and on the way back to Beijing, Pan Heyi had also borrowed a few books from Jiang Anyi, all of which had annotations written by Han Taibao.

Watching Tian Shoulou's carriage disappear into the wind and snow, Jiang Anyi chanted softly: "The year is about to be twilight, and the time is dark." The cold wind accumulates, and the clouds are gloomy". This "Snow Fu" made by Xie Deling, a previous generation, was recited together when he was friends with Lin Yizhen in Zechang Academy, when the young man was proud and fierce, and he recited it again sixteen years later but was full of worry and sadness.

Coming to the capital to serve for nearly a year, for Jiang Anyi is far less comfortable than living in Huazhou, there is nothing to do in the Golden Palace, there is no effect among the officials, there is a group of harmony on the surface, there are words behind the guard, there are constant guns and arrows, Jiang Anyi feels extremely tired.

When he returned to the hospital, when he walked into the Hanging Flower Gate, Jiang Anyi's spirit moved, and his head turned to the right. The white light flashed, and with a "pop", a snowball smashed on the door frame, snowflakes splashed, and Tong'er's crisp laughter came from his ears.

Jiang Anyi's depressed mood dissipated with a few snowballs, and the originally empty true qi in his body actually fluctuated a little at this moment, and the dried meridians finally showed traces of streams. Jiang Anyi was overjoyed, the exhaustion of his true qi that had been trapped for a long time had finally improved, and he had finally made a move after taking Qi Replenishing Pei Yuansan continuously in the past few months, and maybe he would be able to recover to the realm of refining qi and transforming gods during the Northern Expedition in March.

Making a grimace, Jiang Anyi jumped down the steps with his teeth and claws, the children screamed and ran away, and happy laughter floated over the house, making everyone who heard it couldn't help but smile.

Li Laigao and his wife came at dinner, and after getting married, the Li family bought a house not far from Jiangfu as Li Laigao's new residence. After eating, the women wanted to whisper, Jiang Anyi and Li Laigao went to the study to drink tea.

Li Lai laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, have you ever heard that the Beijing Chinese scholar scolded you for being a hypocrite?" ”

"Tian Shoulou has already told me." Jiang Anyi pushed the poured tea to Li Laigao and scolded: "You are still so happy when others scold me, you kid has no conscience." ”

"No wonder those people say that Brother Jiang is a hypocrite, obviously Brother Jiang doesn't care about what these people say, and blames me, the messenger, for having no conscience." Li Lai smiled as he teaed.

Jiang Anyi said angrily: "Flies are buzzing in your ears all day long, you are not annoyed." ”

"Then swatt this pesky fly to death." The tea lid in Li Lai's hand closed heavily on the tea cup, and he said viciously.

Li Laigao believed that these rumors originated from Pan Heyi, this villain plagiarized Brother Jiang's ideas, and was afraid that Brother Jiang would retaliate, so the wicked person sued and slandered Brother Jiang first. Li Laigao and Pan Heyi used to be friends, and the taste of being judged by his friends was uncomfortable, and after getting married, Sichen inevitably whispered a few bad words about Pan Heyi in his ear, which made Li Laigao hate Pan Heyi more and more.

Jiang Anyi brought back a cart of books from Jiangzhou, which were given by Han Jinsong, a descendant of Han Taibao, and Jiang Anyi and Han Jinsong agreed that they would return the original books when they returned to Beijing. But when Han Jinsong learned that the prince of Beijing presided over the compilation of the "Wenhua Canon", he was moved and wanted to let Jiang

An Yi dedicated these books to Wenhua Pavilion, hoping to collect some of Han Taibao's unpublished remarks into a book, and the Han family could also get the reward of the Son of Heaven by donating books. Jiang Anyi agreed, and said to Han Jinsong that he was willing to sort out Han Taibao's annotations and manuscripts first, and then present the books and manuscripts together after the book was completed.

Of course Han Jinsong is willing, the value of the ancestor's manuscript will undoubtedly be higher if it can be sorted out by Jiang Zhuangyuan, and Jiang Anyi took the initiative to issue a book list, so that Han Jinsong was completely relieved, and simply put together a cart of rare books stored at home and handed them to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi is also full of joy, these rare books have Han Taibao's annotations, and there are many he has never read, with Han Taibao's prestige in the literary world, his annotated book canons must be collected, and as a collator, he will automatically become one of the compilers of the "Wenhua Canon".

Li Laigao knew about these situations, because Jiang Anyi assigned some books for him and Li Donghong to help sort them out, Li Laigao was very grateful to Jiang Anyi, and the Li family could not prosper again without Brother Jiang's unsparing help. Pan Heyi's means against Jiang Anyi continued, and Li Laigao decided to offer advice to Jiang Anyi and deal with Pan Heyi according to his plan.

"Someone wants to use those books of Han Taibao to deal with you, Brother Jiang doesn't have to be in a hurry to explain, I said hello to Donghong and asked him not to distinguish, if someone asks Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang might as well squeak and deal with it, wait for the impeachment of the imperial history, the Son of Heaven will ask the Son of Heaven to inquire and then sue for grievances, Brother Jiang will ask the Son of Heaven to send Long Wei to investigate this matter, and find out the people behind the trouble, it is best to find out the matter of Pan Heyi plagiarizing Brother Jiang's negligence, so that this villain has no place." Li Laigao said angrily.

Jiang Anyi didn't make a sound, he thought more deeply than Li Laigao, Pan Heyi took refuge in King Chu'an, could this turmoil be instigated by King Chu'an behind his back, whether the intention was against himself or against the prince, the Son of Heaven was about to march north, and he definitely didn't want to be distracted by miscellaneous matters, let alone see the prince and King Chu'an fight, would he quickly cut through the chaos and settle the dispute?

After Li Laigao left, Jiang Anyi was still pondering in the study, and finally decided to find an opportunity to report to the Son of Heaven first, as long as the Son of Heaven knew it, no matter how to deal with it, it was only a superficial article. His eyes fell on the books on the table, Han Taibao's books were assigned to Brother Fan, Li Donghong and Li Laigao to help sort them out, and he also accelerated the progress, there was not much left, it was estimated that it would be completed in mid-February, and at that time, he would dedicate Han Taibao's books to Wenhua Pavilion with the sorted manuscripts, and the rumors would be self-defeating.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Jiang Anyi did not find a chance to see the driver, and on the 21st of the Zichen Palace, Jiang Anyi was not qualified to see the driver, but the recital of Wei Huaichao, the left supervisor of Likuan, was presented to the table in the imperial study.

Shi Fangzhen read Wei Huaichao's transcript, read the report letter again, and frowned, what the report letter said was eighty percent true. Jiang Anyi was assassinated in Jiangzhou, and out of consideration of the overall situation, I did not chase after the mastermind behind him, and I was somewhat wronged by him. However, because he was assassinated in Hanjiazhuang, he took the opportunity to ask for Han Taibao's manuscript, which was really cold, and I had high expectations for him, and the word was ruined. That's it, for the sake of his many years of credit, I helped him, thinking of this, Shi Fangzhen instructed: "Pass the prince to meet him." ”

With little effort, Shi Chongwei came to the imperial study. Shi Fangzhen handed the report letter to the prince and said, "Someone reported through Tongkuang that Jiang Anyi used the assassination to ask Han Taibao's descendants for the manuscript retained by Han Taibao, Wei'er, you go and ask Jiang Anyi, if it is true, let him return the manuscript as soon as possible."

Return the descendants of the Han family and settle the matter. Jiang Anyi is a usable talent, I heard that there is a rift between you and Jiang Anyi, you might as well use this matter to clear up the misunderstanding. ”

Shi Chongwei returned to the East Palace with a report letter, and Cheng Daoming, Shao Zhan, immediately came to Wenhua Hall to see him, Cheng Mingdao knew that he had offended Xiong Guozhang, and was afraid that he would sue him in front of the prince, so he came early and returned late every day, and stayed in the East Palace most of the time, always paying attention to the prince's movements.

"Cheng Qing, someone reported through Tongkuang that when Jiang Shi was cleaning up the official fields in Jiangzhou, he used the assassination to ask for books and manuscripts from Han Taibao's descendants, and his father confessed to settle the matter for him, what do you think, Cheng Qing?" Shi Chongwei said, and handed the report letter to Cheng Mingdao. Since beating Cheng Mingdao and becoming the Shao Zhan of the East Palace, the prince feels that the life of the East Palace is prosperous, and Cheng Mingdao has naturally become the most powerful person around him.

Cheng Mingdao quickly glanced at the report letter and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the minister has heard of this matter for a long time, and it is even more spread in Beijing. ”

"What? Is this already known? Shi Chongwei asked in surprise.

Cheng Mingdao handed the letter back to Shi Chongwei and said: "There were rumors a year ago, and they became more and more intense after the year, and almost everyone knows about it. The minister has privately pondered this matter, and can know that the people who ask for books from Master Jiang are nothing more than those who followed him to Jiangzhou on an errand, and the former Zhitian Department ordered Pan Heyi to evacuate the Son of Heaven through King Chu'an, will this matter be spread by Pan Heyi again? Your Highness, be careful, behind this Pan Heyi is King Chu An, beware of King Chu An using this matter against you. ”

"In this way, it is very likely that the concealment of the second brother for Jiang Shi will become an excuse for the second brother to attack, and this matter must not be careless."

Seeing the prince groaning, Cheng Mingdao was secretly happy in his heart, he wished that Jiang Anyi's reputation would be ruined, and he would no longer threaten his status, and pretended to be sincere on the surface: "His Royal Highness's love for his subordinates really moved the ministers, but as His Royal Highness said, this matter needs to be treated carefully, and King Chu'an cannot be allowed to take advantage of it." ”

As soon as the wind changed, Cheng Mingdao provoked: "It's not that the minister is saying bad things about Lord Jiang behind his back, this Lord Jiang's personality is too strong, and he has caused a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness after coming to Beijing. According to the minister, Lord Jiang did not help His Highness much in Beijing, but he did a good job when he was the assassin of the foreign country, His Royal Highness might as well suggest to Banzai if he has the opportunity, let Lord Jiang still do the assassin history, His Royal Highness can also have many arms outside Beijing, and His Royal Highness can also let him deal with any inconvenience. ”

Shi Chongwei nodded thoughtfully: "Cheng Qing is right, most states have sent people to the second child's house to give gifts during the Chinese New Year this year, and the gifts they gave are actually the same as those of Lonely, these people want to bet on both sides, hateful." ”

Cheng Mingdao said with a smile: "Duanzhou Assassin Lu Jiacheng heard that the prince was tired of handling government affairs, so he specially presented a group of dancing girls for the prince to watch in his spare time. The minister was afraid that it would be inconvenient to recruit them into the palace, so he dared to place these people in Huangzhuang in Suxi County, and His Royal Highness had time to see when he inspected the suffering of the people in Huangzhuang. ”

Shi Chongwei stood up with satisfaction and said, "You have done a good job in these things, so that the national abbot can be whispered in Lone's ear." If you are tired of being lonely, go back to the palace to rest, about Master Jiang, you send someone to inform him, and ask him to return the books to Han Taibao's descendants as soon as possible to calm down the discussion. ”

"Yes." Cheng Mingdao bowed down to see Shi Chongwei away, straightened up and "hehe" sneered twice, and said softly: "Calm down the discussion? The bigger the fuss, the better the fuss. ”
