Chapter 154: Palace Arrangements
Squinted his eyes and watched Jiang Anyi walking through the rain with an oil paper umbrella. The red oil umbrella was like a red flower, blooming in the storm. Liu Weiguo let out a sigh of relief. He had been in the palace for more than 40 years and was about to know his destiny. He was used to the ups and downs of the ministers in the court. Today, Jiang Anyi was obviously lucky, but he didn't know when the top scholar would be in decline.
Liu Weiguo rushed to Kun'an Palace along the corridor. The emperor and Empress Wang made an appointment to have dinner together. Because it took most of the hour to listen to Jiang Anyi's talk about the land in Renzhou. Although he asked someone to notify the Empress in advance, Liu Weiguo was cautious in his work, and he might have troubled the Empress in trivial matters.
As soon as he approached Kun'an Palace, he heard the emperor's hearty laughter and Princess Anshou's silver bell-like smile. Liu Weiguo felt relieved, slowed down, tidied up his clothes, and then quietly stepped into the hall.
Shi Fang was really late and made Princess Anshou coquettish. She was very loving to her eldest daughter Shi Fang. She smiled and briefly said the interesting things that happened when Jiang Anyi was rushing to the land mu in Renzhou. When Liu Weiguo came in, Shi Fang really talked about Tong'er riding alone to chase the top scorer. Princess Anshou praised this young lady of the Li family who dared to hate and love, and asked the details repeatedly.
Queen Wang smiled and prepared dishes for her husband and children, with a satisfied smile on her face. She said that the family was selfless, so wouldn’t it be a joy for her family of four?
"This Jiang Anyi, I was really a little wrong with him before. I was young and promising. The most rare thing was loyalty to the country, which was the most rare. I heard that everyone said that he was 'Jiang Langzi'. What I want is such a fool. So many smart people are just thinking about how to get promoted and make money, and they are a bit interested in being the country and the king." Shi Fangzhen said that when he was angry, he slapped the chopsticks heavily on the table.
Queen Wang smiled and advised: "Long live to appreciate this Jiang Anyi, you might as well reuse it. Eating anger is easy to accumulate food, which is not good for the dragon body."
Princess Anshou interrupted, "I remember that Jiang Anyi was originally recommended by me to my father. He wrote a poem on Wangyuan Tower, 'Why not bring Wu Gou to collect the fifty states of Guanshan Mountains. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar, Wanhuhou,' I really didn't expect that he could still be good at martial arts."
Queen Wang smiled and said nothing, and her thoughts were heard. She had no good feelings for Jiang Anyi. Her nephew Wang Zhizhi was slapped by Jiang Anyi. The fifth aunt made a special trip to the palace to cry and wanted to avenge her nephew. The Wang family was also implicated in the matter of Qing war, so she came forward to discuss with her second brother. The Wang family had more than 5,000 hectares of land and 150,000 taels of silver, which made the emperor highly appreciate the Wang family.
However, his most trusted elder brother Wang Keming admired Jiang Anyi very much and once told him that Jiang Anyi could help the prince. Jiang Anyi was not yet weak, and now he has been in the eyes of the emperor and the road to the sky has been paved. If this person is really a complete civil and military talent, he will definitely become his son's loyal minister in the future.
It is more gratifying to be kind when he is not yet developed than adding icing on the cake. Jiang Anyi was rejected by the entire officialdom. I heard that even classmates from Zechang Academy never interacted with him. He gave him kindness to him. Thinking that Jiang Anyi would definitely be able to loyally help the prince when he knew about it. In the future, his son successfully ascended the throne to the emperor, so that the Wang family would be prosperous. As for his nephew's slap, it was nothing compared to the entire Wang family.
The emperor often mentioned that the ministers in the court were old and too angry, and hoped to appoint young and strong ministers. Jiang Anyi was obviously a useful person and could be kept for his son.
As other princes grow, the position of the prince will inevitably be threatened. Thinking of Concubine Huang Shu and the second prince Shi Chongjie, Queen Wang's eyes darkened, and she could not allow any such signs to appear. Queen Wang made up her mind to pull Jiang Anyi beside the prince.
Queen Wang whispered: "Long live, the emperor will move into the East Palace in August. I might as well let Jiang Anyi serve as the East Palace. This person is the top scholar who is ranked three years old. Wu can surrender and lead the general. Wei'er can learn something if he can do it."
"Okay, okay." Shi Chongwei is ten years old this year, and he is the most active age. He just heard his father telling about Jiang Anyi, and I wish there was such a person around him. I thought it would be much more interesting than the characters in the palace.
In addition to the third division and three young masters, the East Palace of Great Zheng also has guests of the prince, including the three temples, including the Zhanshi Mansion Tongjialing, and other ten temples. Queen Wang intends to place Jiang Anyi in the East Palace Library, namely the Chongxian Pavilion. The Chongwen Pavilion of Great Zheng has two Grand Secretarys, only with empty titles and awarded them to civil servants of the third rank in the court. The current Grand Secretary of the Chongwen Pavilion is Guo Huaishi, the Minister of Rites and the current priest Wu Chaozheng. The Grand Secretary is mainly responsible for correcting books and sanctioning court systems and etiquette. Four bachelors need to serve as full-time officials of the fifth rank or above, eight straight bachelors and eight straight bachelors and under sixth rank. Jiang Anyi's original official is a Minister of Rites. From the sixth rank, he happened to serve as a direct bachelor.
After Prince Shi Chongwei entered the Eastern Palace, the Chongxian Pavilion was officially launched. In addition to the prince's study in the Chongxian Pavilion, the sons of 26 royal relatives, first-rank officials, prime ministers and meritorious officials would also be recruited to school. Most of them were between the ages of twelve and sixteen, thinking that the prince's playmates. These people accompanied the prince's growth and would inevitably become capable officials in the future, and it is conceivable how popular the teachers who can become these people are.
Although the prince settled in the East Palace in August and had nearly three months left, it was already a big uproar in the court for the quota of bachelor's and direct bachelor's degree in Chongxian Pavilion. The two Grand Secretary's Offices were crowded, and even Queen Wang received many inquiries from families of important officials in the court.
The choice of the officials of the Eastern Palace for the prince is related to the growth of the prince, so Shi Fangzhen naturally dared not take it lightly. Queen Wang's intentions Shi Fang really knew, but Shi Fang was really not in a hurry. He wanted to see more. The waves washed away the sand, and the real gold was revealed in the end.
Shi Fangzhen didn't answer Queen Wang's words, turned his head and called Liu Weiguo who was standing beside him, and said, "Liu Weiguo, I remember that your fifty-year-old birthday is on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month."
Liu Weiguo's eyes turned red and he choked and said, "Long live, you have a lot of trouble every day, but you are still thinking about the cheapest days of the slave. Even if you are crushed to pieces, you can't repay him."
The four eunuchs in the palace were all Shi Fangzhen's confidants. Liu Weiguo and Tang Wenzhong even served him since childhood and had a deep relationship. Seeing Liu Weiguo moved to tears, Shi Fangzhen smiled and said, "You have been with me for most of your life, so I will naturally take it to heart. I know the destiny of heaven. I will give you five days off and leave the palace to hold your birthday well. You might as well invite a few more tables. By the way, last time you mentioned to me that you adopted your nephew as your son. I will reward him with the right treasury order (the eighth rank is in charge of the treasures of the inner government) and let him do it with care."
Liu Weiguo bowed to the ground, burst into tears, and after a long time, he sobbed and said, "I thank you for your kindness. Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live
Shi Fangzhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "I opened my eyes wide and saw clearly for me. After returning to the palace, I told me about the situation. Jiang Anyi might as well send a post to him. I want to take a look again."
Jiang Anyi didn't know what happened in the inner palace, but he was scolded when he was facing the saint in Zichen Palace. The incident that he was almost arrested was rumored to be rumored by Park Liangzuo and Zhong Youzhi. The capital was selfless, and the name of "Jiang Langtou" was confirmed.
After the scattered yamen, Fan Shiben hurried back to his residence and saw Jiang Anyi sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard teaching Shi Tou and Fan Zhichang to study. He shook his head and looked intoxicated, looking like he was fine.
Fan Shiben waved his hand to drive away his son and Shi Tou, sat on the stone bench, staring at Jiang Anyi and said, "Anyi, you are so brave that you dare to disobey the emperor. You should be desperate."
Jiang Anyi poured a cup of herbal tea for Fan Shiben and said with a smile: "It's so fast to hear the gods. You'll know what happened in the morning."
Drinking all the tea in one breath, Fan Shiben said: "Everyone in the court knows it, everyone says you are a veritable 'infidelity'. An Yi, Brother Yu wants to advise you a few words. The most important thing in the officialdom is that you are a rare confused. Don't force yourself to make a move. You are covered in iron and can you roll a few nails."
Fan Shiben shook his head and sighed as he spoke. It seems that he has a lot of feelings when he is the censor of the surveillance during this period.
Jiang Anyi was moved and smiled and said, "Brother Fan said, I'll pay attention in the future. When it's hot, drink more Anlong bitter tea to clear heat and reduce fire. I'll cook myself later. Let's have a few drinks."
During dinner, Dong'er served the wine for the two of them. She knew from Mrs. Fan that Jiang Anyi was in a bad situation. During this period of time, Dong'er gradually understood Jiang Anyi. The idea of marrying a chicken with a chicken turned into an indescribable feeling, which was firmly tied to Jiang Anyi.
Dong'er wanted to comfort her, but when she said something, she didn't know where to start, so she had to fill the two of them with wine, and returned to her room to shed tears secretly, worrying about Jiang Anyi.
