After leaving Jingfengmen, Xingren Avenue between Yongxingfang and Chongrenfang. The lively sounds surged, which made Jiang Anyi and Liu Wei Guozhi sweat, but Shi Fangzhen smiled and said, "It's so lively, go for a walk."

After 167 years of the establishment of Yongchang City, the capital of Zheng Chao, the number of households in the Jingzhao Prefecture was 448,733 households and more than 1.66 million. This number is equivalent to the population of the entire Huazhou. Huiye Prefecture became prosperous under the rule of Jiang'anyi, with only 80,000 households and more than 300,000 people, which is not worth mentioning compared to the imperial capital. In addition, the sixteen guards in the capital, the population of the palace, the monks in the temple, and the migrant population, are actually nearly 2 million people distributed on nearly 10,000 hectares of land, and the consumption of food and drink gathers into the most prosperous place in the world.

After Shi Fangzhen ascended the throne, he had few chances to leave the imperial city and was very interested in everything around him. The shop signs, vendors carrying loads, carriages and pedestrian clothing, the emperor turned into a curious baby and asked nonstop. It was not a good job to accompany the emperor to shop. Liu Weiguo was better, and Jiang Anyi had already sweated and was already wet with his back.

After visiting the East City, the sun turned west and Shi Fangzhen said, "Butler, find a place to eat."

Although Liu Weiguo has a residence outside the palace, he can't live for a few days a year, so he looks at Jiang Anyi for help. Jiang Anyi has lived in the capital for a while and is more familiar than Liu Weiguo. On the west side is Pingkangfang. Jiang Anyi remembers Yu Qingle taking him a mellow house, and the dishes inside taste good.

It was almost late noon, and the business of Chunxianglou was still booming. Jiang Anyi spent a hundred cents. The waiter led the three of them to the elegant seat next to the window on the inside of the room. This should be a place to receive distinguished guests. It was decorated with elegant and tranquil. Outside the window was the garden of the restaurant, and the noise was blocked outside the bead curtain.

Shi Fangzhen smiled and said, "My man, just send it to me if you have any good food. My nephew is a rich man and he is not short of money."

Jiang Anyi took out a silver note of 50 taels and handed it to the waiter, and ordered: "Boneless chicken, prawns and cabbage, stir-fried eel slices, braised foie gras, squirrels, mandarin fish, southern meat and spring bamboo shoots, plus three crispy soup, a jar of bright moon fragrance, and send some dried fruits of various colors."

When the waiter knew that Haoke had arrived, he agreed with a crisp voice and turned around and left. After a while, a maid asked various dried fruits to come up, poured out the newly squeezed cane juice from the white porcelain jar, and explained with a smile: "This is the sugarcane sent from the Miao Village in Qianzhou. It is squeezed into juice to treat the guests to taste it."

Shi Fangzhen picked up the bowl and took a sip, praising: "It's fragrant and delicious, good."

When the maid stepped down, Shi Fangzhen said, "An Yi, Zhicheng did a good job in Qianzhou. The Miao people surrendered and let me untie a knot. You and him are my right-hand men. After a few years, the southeast and northwest have settled down and the old ministers in the court have retired, I will transfer you all back to Beijing. With the assistance of capable ministers like you, I will have the confidence to achieve the world."

While speaking, the dishes were served like flowing water. Shi Fang really tasted so good that he laughed and scolded: "The imperial meals in the palace are not as good as those in the neighborhood restaurants. How could Tang Wenzhong be a slave?"

Liu Weiguo hurriedly concealed: "Mr. Zheng, the diet in the palace emphasizes fine nutrition, which is different from the heavy taste of the folk fires. They each have their own advantages and cannot be compared."

There was a group of guests outside, and the waiter asked them to the side. Jiang Anyi and others became cautious in their words and silenced to eat vegetables silently. The guests next to them didn't know that there were ears between the walls, and they talked loudly, and the voices came clearly.

"Brother Mingyang, I wish you a cup of wine and I wish you a wish."

"It goes without saying that Brother Mingyang and the Duke of the Yuan Dynasty are in-laws. Is there any other thing to say if the young master has the Duke of the Yuan Dynasty's care?"

Shi Fangzhen put down his chopsticks and showed displeasure. He knew a little bit about the disadvantages of the imperial examination, but the people next door talked unscrupulously in the restaurant, wouldn’t they slap him in the face?

Jiang Anyi lowered his head to eat vegetables. It was difficult to talk about such things. Liu Weiguo was secretly anxious and angry that the people next door were looking for death. He was afraid that he would not end up well after being troubled.

When he spoke again, the brother Mingyang said with some pride: "My in-laws came forward to find Mr. He, and Mr. He should give him some face."

"So the son is going to be the top scorer in high school, congratulations." A sarcastic voice sounded, obviously singing the opposite tune with this brother Mingyang.

"The top scholar is not afraid to think that the water in the capital is too deep, and my Zhang family is not a role. But Brother Tang, I heard that you have a relationship with the prince, and your second boy can't escape the top three in the current exam." Brother Mingyang responded coldly.

Liu Weiguo's heart moved. He remembered who this brother Mingyang was. Zhang Mingyang, a famous silk merchant in Beijing. His family owned 30% of the mulberry fields in Jiangnan. The silk produced in it accounts for more than one-fifth of the silk in Dazheng. His son Zhang Kejie married the granddaughter of the Yuanguo Duke. He held a mat for seven days in a row. He could go to drink when talking about congratulations. He heard that the dowry given to the Yuanguo Duke's mansion was a ox cart, and the gold and silver alone were millions of taels of precious items such as treasures, pearls and jade.

Shi Fangzhen snorted angrily, obviously also remembering who Zhang Mingyang was. The Zhang family paid nearly one million taxes every year. Because of a Jinshi, Shi Fangzhen was too lazy to get into him. However, from what he said just now, he heard that the man named Tang was related to Wei'er, which made Shi Fangzhen look moved. Jiang Anyi and Liu Weiguo looked at each other, put down their chopsticks, held their breath and listened quietly to the words next door.

"I don't have the ability to get in love with the prince, but I have some friendship with Lord Zhou of the East Palace. Lord Zhou was elected as the same examiner this time. If nothing unexpected happens, the second grade will still be expected." The man surnamed Tang said proudly.

Speaking of the prince, the topic next door turned to the prince's choice of concubines. In his words, the prince liked Youye and was raising singing girls in Yanshan Manor. Shi Fangzhen's face turned blue with anger and asked Liu Wei softly: "Do you know about Youye?"

Liu Weiguo was so scared that his face was pale. He tried his best to stand up. His legs were weak and he knelt on the ground. Jiang Anyi couldn't sit still, and knelt down next to Liu Weiguo. Liu Weiguo took a few deep breaths, knowing that his reply was extremely important, and if he was not careful, he would cause a huge disaster.

"Long live, it is a chance for the prince to go out to the palace to play, but it is mostly for hunting and practicing riding and shooting. The prince has repeatedly said that he wants to learn the Long Live Martial Arts to hunt the Beimo. The rumors about Youye are afraid that someone will slander them in secret, so I dare not deceive them at all." Liu Weiguo said in a trembling voice.

Jiang Anyi also advised: "Long live, let Master Yu sell Yanshan Manor for only a few months. The prince ordered Zhou Chucun to write a letter to me to share my worries with me. It is even more than two months later. How can I say that Prince You Ye’s overwhelming statement? Besides, Long live often asks about the prince’s studies. How can the prince have time to have fun at Yanshan Manor? In my opinion, it must be a rumor."

Shi Fangzhen thought about it and nodded, "

Yes, I want Longwei to find out where the rumors are coming from and see who is slandering the prince.”

Jiang Anyi's heart moved. It was a good opportunity to eliminate Zhou Chucun. Although his methods of acting were a little vague, he asked himself to be right. So Jiang Anyi said softly: "It is not without cause for groundlessness. I risk my life to advise you to pay attention to whether the people around the prince are corrupting the prince's reputation."

Shi Fangzhen stared at Jiang Anyi for a while, but Jiang Anyi's expression remained unchanged. Shi Fangzhen said, "Get up, this is not a palace, it's so inconvenient for people to see it."

Although there was no response to Jiang Anyi, Shi Fangzhen was obviously moved by Jiang Anyi's words. He just heard Zhou Chucun's name. It seemed that he wanted to check the people around the prince. He was close to the wise ministers and stayed away from the villain. If the prince was surrounded by a group of villains, wouldn't it be bad? He would summon Wei Youcheng to come when he had time. He was Wei'er's brother-in-law and a direct bachelor in Chongwenguan. He should know something.

The next door was still laughing and laughing, without knowing that the disaster was coming. Shi Fangzhen pushed away the bowls and chopsticks, and the good meal was distracted by the group of people. When he came outside the restaurant, Shi Fangzhen was moved to the prince's Yanshan Manor to check. Liu Weiguo was almost scared to death and didn't want to persuade him. He knew that the emperor was very suspicious. If he persuaded him, he might not think that he knew something from him, and then he, the eunuch, would have done his best.

He took a step back and pulled Jiang Anyi's sleeve lightly, looking at each other. Jiang Anyi was also afraid that something would happen. If something happened to the prince, he would be implicated, not to mention that the only thing he and Liu Weiguo were by the emperor today.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Yanshan Manor is more than 20 miles away from the capital. It takes more than an hour to ride a horse back and forth. If you hire a carriage, you may not be able to enter the city before the city gate is closed. It is no longer a match for the private tour of Wansui. If you don't return to the palace during dinner, you are afraid that chaos will arise in the palace. Wansui must not lose the big picture because of the small. The emperor has no family affairs. Wansui wants to investigate the prince's residence in Yanshan Manor, and you can send someone to check it out in a straightforward manner. If you feel it is inconvenient, send a secret guard to go there."

"Mr. Jiang said very much, long live the country and the country should be the most important thing, and you must not take risks easily." Liu Weiguo also whispered.

The sunlight casts the shadow of the mellow building out of the old age, and the sun has set. Shi Fangzhen stood in the shadow and hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Return to the palace."

After quietly returning to the imperial study from Jingfengmen, Shi Fangzhen sat heavily on the chair and felt frustrated. Liu Weiguo and Jiang Anyi stood on one side, feeling uneasy, not knowing what the emperor was thinking. What he heard today was enough to trigger a shocking case, and maybe countless heads fell to the ground.

"Don't tell each other about today's affairs, and don't even tell the prince." Shi Fangzhen said coldly. Jiang Anyi and Liu Weiguo quickly knelt down and sweared that they would never be told. Jiang Anyi was secretly in his heart and said a thousand words. The emperor still became suspicious of the prince, and hoped that the prince could pass the test smoothly.

"Jiang Qing, please go back first. Wait for the order at home these days, and don't go out." Shi Fangzhen ordered.

Jiang Anyi should have come out of the imperial study room, put on his official uniform, and walked on the corridor. A gust of wind blew, and his body became cold, and he realized that his whole body was sweating.

"Come here, let Feng Zhong meet."
