It was already dark, and lanterns were lit in the shops on both sides of Fenglefang Street, all red. Deng Huaisu and Yu Jingshan stood in front of the window facing the street, and the red light reflected on Yu Jingshan's fat face, making his face look red and full of energy. Deng Huaisu beside him was worried and kept turning his eyes to the wine shop door.

Yu Jingshan knew that he was looking forward to Jiang Anyi's appearance. Deng Huaisu was the host of Deng Huaisu. Yu Jingshan felt that Brother Deng was too eager. Jiang Anyi had only been in Beijing for a few days and had not even settled his position. He was not in the mood to care about other things. But Deng Huaisu didn't think so. He knew that Jiang Anyi lived in Zhiyuan Courtyard of Guanglu Temple before the commemoration. Fang Linbin had met Jiang Anyi many times. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, since Fang Linbin intended to compete with him for the position of party leader, he would definitely have some actions.

Deng Huaisu asked himself that he had met Jiang Anyi early and had helped Jiang Anyi when he was in trouble, so he should have an advantage over Fang Linbin. However, Fang Linbin had a higher official position and helped Jiang Anyi more than himself in the court. If the time delayed for a long time, the situation would be unfavorable to him, so Deng Huaisu decided to release his kindness as soon as possible.

It has been a quarter of an hour since Mr. Jiang has not come yet. It seems that he is too arrogant. Next to them is Dong Haoming, a member of the Ministry of Justice. In the 16th year of Fengle, he was promoted from the magistrate of Qingquan County, Bazhou. This person is a Jinshi in Fengle for the sixth year, and is included as Jiang Anyi's senior brother. Jiang Anyi is a beautiful man from Zechang Academy, which is both enviable and jealous. Dong Haoming inspires in front of two important figures of the Ze Party.

An Yi is not that kind of person, probably something was delayed. Deng Huaisu said.

Yu Jingshan also said: There is definitely something wrong, but his elder brother Li Shicheng didn't come either.

While talking, Jiang Anyi was already seen riding on the horse on the street. Deng Huaisu smiled and said: Come on, Brother Yu, as the owner, you and I will go downstairs to welcome you.

Seeing a group of people waiting in front of the restaurant, Jiang Anyi jumped off his horse five feet away, walked forward quickly and saluted everyone and said: Sorry, long live to summon Jiang into the palace. It's too late to come. I'm sorry.

Deng Huaisu stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Anyi's hand and said with a smile: Anyi is a busy person, and he has no time to rest. All classmates in Zechang in Beijing are here to welcome you. Don't stand in front of the door, please invite them inside. Some classmates Anyi have not seen them before. In the future, they will serve as officials in the court and take care of each other.

The stars welcomed Jiang Anyi to the second floor like the moon. Fang Linbin, Wei Huaichao and others respected their identities and stood at the stairs on the second floor to greet each other. When they met, they were inevitably filled with a hustle and bustle. Three elegant seats were opened on the second floor and five tables were installed. Jiang Anyi naturally sat on the table in the middle.

After some bowing, Fang Linbin sat in the middle of the table, Jiang Anyi and Deng Huaisu sat next to him respectively. Wei Huaichao was beside Jiang Anyi, and Yu Jingshan was beside Deng Huaisu. The table was full of scheming guests, and only one of them was a confidant. Lin Yizhen sat slantedly on Jiang Anyi's lower head, and nodded at Jiang Anyi with a smile.

Although the letters were constantly, it was not seen for another three years. Jiang Anyi suppressed his excitement and looked at Lin Yizhen. Lin Yizhen was two years older than Jiang Anyi, and was thirty-one this year. He had short beards on his face and smiled gently, as gentle as jade. Jiang Anyi sighed in his heart that it would be great if Yan'er could marry Brother Lin. It would be a pleasure for his friend to be a relative. Now Brother Lin has a doctor in the back department, marrying Liu, a son and a daughter, with a smooth career and a harmonious family. He should bless him.

Fang Linbin first said: Today, my people from Zechang gathered together to greet Anyi, and everyone raised their glasses to congratulate.

After a shout, Jiang Anyi stood up and thanked him, and everyone drank together.

Deng Huaisu was a little uncomfortable, but as the boss, Fang Linbin grabbed the lead. He wanted to raise his glass to respect each other and was at a disadvantage.

In the capital, there were four pillars including Duke Fang, Duke Wei, Duke Deng and Duke Yu (the mountain chief Deng Haonan served as the governor of Leizhou in the third year of Jianwu). Now that Lord Jiang has returned to the capital from Huazhou to serve, the people of our Zechang Party have become increasingly powerful. We should cheer up our spirits, eliminate the accumulated ills, and do something to repay your kindness.

A young man stood up from the second table on the right and shouted with a sigh. When I introduced everyone just now, Jiang Anyi remembered it with sincerity. No matter whether Jiang Anyi was willing or not, he could not change the fact that he was from Zechang Academy. In the future, he would have to deal with these classmates in Beijing. First of all, he should remember their names. Jiang Anyi was ready to let Tian Shoulou write down the temper of the Zechang party members in detail when he had time to facilitate future dealings.

This young man was a Jinshi in the first year of Jianwu. Xu Kai from Renzhou was the head of the eighth rank in the Secretariat. He was a young man and was full of energy. He was a veteran. Jiang Anyi understood Xu Kai's thoughts on rising, but he just listened to him that the lieutenant generals Fang Linbin and Wei Huaichao were ranked before Deng Huaisu. He should be from the Fang Sect.

Xu Kai's words attracted a response, everyone was excited, and there was noisy in the restaurant. Deng Huaisu signaled to Yu Jingshan, and Yu Jingshan stood up and smiled: Dear classmates, let's be quiet, listen to me say a few words.

Yu Jingshan has been in Beijing for many years and has made great contributions. He would generously donate as long as Zechang people come to ask for help. Especially during the examination period, Yu Jingshan would free up his own Ruyi Inn in Shengpingfang after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to receive the examinees from Zechang Academy who came to participate in the examination. This made Yu Jingshan have the reputation of being a righteous man in the Ze Party.

Everyone in the restaurant calmed down. Yu Jingshan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: Master Zeng said that a gentleman was not a member of the party. We all like to respond to each other and seek each other's loyalty to the court, not to form a party for personal gain. I hope everyone will remember this. The emperor has said many times that the Party Constitution is a court official. We must not fight against the party because of different backgrounds, otherwise the disaster will not come.

The cold water from Yu Jingshan was poured in time, and everyone calmed down. Jiang Anyi nodded repeatedly. As Yu Jingshan said, there were fewer disputes in the court. But to put it nicely, no one would be lenient when the party attacked the differences. Interest groups of large and small in the court formed social parties, either open or secretly. As the saying goes, there are party disputes in places with interests.

Jiang Anyi heard Deng Shanchang talk about the origin of the grievances between the two academies. The dispute between Zechang Academy and Zhangyi Academy started from the Great Wei Dynasty. During the Yanhe period of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhangyi Academy was founded in Pingzhou, south of the Huanyang River, more than 320 years ago; Zechang Academy was built in the Xing'an period of the Great Wei Dynasty, and was located in Renzhou, south of the Yangtze River of Yuanhua, more than 270 years ago.

Before the construction of Zechang Academy, Zhangyi Academy was regarded as a holy land of Shilin. Emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty would go to Zhangyi Academy to worship the statue of the Master. A dominant group could not help but be arrogant. Two hundred and eighty years ago, the great scholar Wang Yufei went to Zhangyi Academy to discuss studies, which shocked the Shilin. The emperor sent officials of the Ministry of Rites to preside over the ceremony.

In the six debates, the great scholars sent by Zhangyi Academy were equally matched with Wang Yufei. In the last battle, Zhangyi Academy secretly bought the Minister of Rites who presided over the discussion of academic affairs. Wang Yufei was defeated. Wang Yufei, who felt deeply unfair, returned to his hometown of Funing County, Renzhou, and expressed his sigh that his academic style was getting worse and worse, and that people's hearts were not as good as ever. In ten years, he finally planned to build Zechang Academy to achieve a true wise man.

Zechang Academy has formed a grudge with Zhangyi Academy since its establishment, and this grudge became even more intense when Wei was destroyed. Zheng was established in the Wei Dynasty. Zhangyi Academy, which was regarded as the leader of the Shilin period by the Great Wei Dynasty, was quickly subdued. The disciples from the academy changed their ranks and entered the court as officials. The Zechang Academy in the south performed very heroic. At that time, Liu Wenhuai, the mountain director, was loyal and righteous, died for the country. A large number of school disciples would rather die than surrender, either sacrificed their lives for the country, hide in the mountains and forests, or died overseas. In order to win the hearts of scholars in Jiangnan, Zheng Taizu personally wrote a plaque to commend the academy for the Southern Wei style, and sent people to Zechang Academy to worship. Liu Wenhuai was buried in the scenery. The southern scholars represented by Zechang Academy were just returned to Dazheng.

The two academies had such a history, naturally they would not be harmonious. The constant struggles in the court made Zheng Taizu very troubled. In the end, Zheng Taizu had a sudden inspiration and asked the two academies to debate once every ten years and vent their energy to the debate. It has been held sixteen times so far.

The debates were about wins and losses, and the conflicts between them were not resolved. Instead, they became more and more intense. From debates to imperial examinations, from officials to political opinions, the two courts fought each other everywhere, which made Emperor Zheng of all dynasties a headache. The seven emperors of Zheng Hui intended to suppress the power of the academy and appointed officials from the academy to the position of Imperial College, and vigorously supported officials to study Imperial College, forming a situation where Imperial College was headed by Imperial College, and the North Zhangyi and Nan Zechang were both valued. The concerns between each other made the increasingly fierce academy dispute gradually calmed down.

Yu Jingshan noticed Jiang Anyi nodded, and was secretly happy, and then said: What Xu said just now is also reasonable. Anyi returned to Beijing to serve in the position of the people of Zechang in the mind of the emperor. The reason why Anyi came late today was that he was summoned by the emperor to report.

These words caused everyone to talk. There were more than 40 people present, except for the grand court, there were very few opportunities to see the emperor. There were only a few who could be summoned by the emperor, not to mention a single recitation. The people on the tables on both sides were so jealous that they could not replace them.

Yu Jingshan struck while the iron was hot and flattered Jiang Anyi again, saying: The three-yuan period of Anyi in the ninth year of Fengle made our academy famous. For more than ten years, as long as we talk about the imperial examination, Zhangyi Academy will be speechless, which is really satisfying. I suggest that Jiang Anyi, the hero of Jing Academy, have a cup of Jiang Anyi.

Jiang Anyi didn't know about this matter, and he accidentally became a banner against Zhangyi Academy. No wonder those officials from Zhangyi Academy always had prejudice against him. The mark on his body could not be washed away, so Jiang Anyi had to raise his glass to drink with everyone. The wine was bitter and hard to swallow.

Fang Linbin stood up and greeted: An Yi, you are not familiar with everyone when you first came to the capital. I will take you to pay respects and meet my classmates. Over the years, I have produced many talents in Zechang. They have admired An Yi for a long time. Let me lead you to go.

Deng Huaisu felt depressed, and Fang Linbin controlled the rhythm of the whole reception banquet. He was not good at saying anything, so he had to stand up and smile and said: Mr. Fang said it well, I will also accompany An Yi toast.

When he met Fang Linbin and smiled as if nothing had happened, it seemed that the purpose of winning over Jiang Anyi at the reception banquet was about to fail. Deng Huaisu thought to himself that it was hard to say so many people. As long as he passed this thought to Jiang Anyi, he would achieve his goal. After two days, he took the time to invite Jiang Anyi to meet alone, and then he would express his attitude and strive for him to support himself to become the leader of Zechang. Lin Yi is really Jiang Anyi's friend. If you ask him to help you, you will definitely impress Jiang Anyi.

Deng Huaisu didn't know that Fang Linbin, who led Jiang Anyi to chat and laugh everywhere, had the same idea as him. What neither of them expected was that Jiang Anyi would make up his mind to leave Beijing early tomorrow morning.
