Chapter six hundred and ninety first uninvited guests

The most important thing for officials in the capital is to sway with the wind. A while ago, the secret message was that the prince was not as good as King An of Chu disappeared without a trace. The prince's wise and magical words could be heard everywhere, and even the officials of the Eastern Palace became popular and the banquet continued.

Jiang Anyi, the youngest secretary of the Eastern Palace, became a newcomer in Beijing. The invitations he received were nearly a foot high. He had classmates from the Ze Party, acquaintances of the six ministries and nine ministers, and royal relatives who tried to meet him. Jiang Anyi could recommend such banquets, but some banquets could not be avoided. For example, tonight, the leader of the Ze Party Fang Linbin summoned him, and Li Shicheng went to the Eastern Palace to invite him, and Jiang Anyi could only give up on him.

During the period when Jiang Anyi was not in the capital, the dispute over the leader of the Ze Party has been cleared. Fang Linbin, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, beat Deng Huaisu, the Minister of Rites, to become the new leader of the Ze Party. At the banquet, Linbin and Deng Huaisu were chatting and laughing without any grudges, which made Jiang Anyi secretly admire him.

He drank a lot of wine. Who among the Ze Dang didn't want to have a relationship with this upstart in the court? He took turns to come forward and toast. Jiang Anyi would not put on airs. He drank the wine until he drank it. After half an hour, he drank at least three or four kilograms of gold and jade liquid. Jiang Anyi returned home with five points of drunkenness.

It was already Wu Zheng when he got home. He Xigui (Shitou) just entered the second door and answered the news and said, "Master, Uncle Fan is here, and he has brought a guest. I have been waiting for you for a while. Mr. Gao will accompany you in the study."

Jiang Anyi nodded and said, "You go and tell him, I'll wash up and go to see him." Jiang Anyi had already told the prince that he asked He Xigui to serve in the Eastern Palace Guard's Mansion. The prince wanted to reuse him as a general (fifth rank) in view of Jiang Anyi's affection, but was rejected by Jiang Anyi. Shi Tou used to be a lieutenant Zhenwei, who was the sixth rank, and happened to be the commander of the Zuowei.

After changing his clothes and coming to the study, he heard Li Laigao's voice from a distance, "... July is in the wild, August is in the sky, September is in the house, and crickets enter my bed in October. The animals and insects are divided into cages, jars, boxes, tubes, gourds, and the materials are gold, silver, jade, ivory, bones, wood, mud, ceramics, and gourds. They have different shapes, either round, square, hexagonal, and octagonal. In the eyes of experts, everything can be used as a tool."

A young man's voice rang out excitedly: "Mr. I'm very happy. I'm carrying a gourd with me. How about it?"

Jiang Anyi stepped into the house and saw Fan Shiben playing with the teacup bored. Master Li Lai looked at him with a worm gourd in his hand. He stood beside him, looking at him with admiration and excitement. Jiang Anyi didn't know this young man, but he always felt familiar.

"How can Brother Fan come to see me today?" Jiang Anyi said with a smile.

Fan Shiben put down the teacup and said vaguely: "An Yi is finally back. I've almost finished drinking this pot of Anlong tea. Shi Tou doesn't know that he asked someone to change it. It's nothing, I just bring a junior to see you."

Li Laigao felt in his heart that he had been waiting for an hour without any trouble. It was obvious that I felt that I was in the way of trouble, so he returned the gourd to the young man and said, "The gourd is the best one. The silver inlayed teeth are finely crafted and good things." After that, Li Laigao stood up and bowed to everyone, and smiled and said, "Brother Jiang is back, it's time for me to say goodbye."

The young man lowered his head and rubbed the gourd in his hand, unable to let go of his hand, and did not care about Jiang Anyi's arrival. Fan Shiben coughed softly and raised his mouth.

When he woke up, the young man would come to put the gourd into his sleeve, and looked up at Jiang Anyi curiously.

Mr. Fan introduced with some headaches: "An Yi, this is Prince Luo Huai."

Jiang Anyi was shocked. No wonder he felt that he was kind-hearted. King Luo Huai's appearance was six points similar to the prince. He had straight eyebrows, hanging nose, thin lips, and blood. However, his eyes were full of the innocence and curiosity of young people. King Luo Huai Shi Chongren was six years younger than the prince and two years younger than King Chuan's An. At that time, he was fourteen years old.

"I didn't know that the prince was here, Jiang was rude and asked the prince to forgive him." Jiang Anyi stood up and saluted Shi Chongren.

Shi Chongren smiled and said, "My brother-in-law often praises Mr. Jiang in front of me for his knowledge and wisdom. Xiao Wang has difficulties and wants to ask for help from me." Shi Chongren's brother-in-law is Fan Shiben's son and Jiang Anyi's apprentice Fan Zhichang.

Fan Shiben said embarrassedly: "An Yi, the prince found my home and asked me to come to you...ah." There was a dilemma in his tone. Helplessly, Fan Shiben knew that King Luo Huai could not solve the problem and asked Jiang Anyi for help. It was obvious that he was causing trouble for his junior brother, but because of his son, he had to help, so he could only come and annoy him with apologies.

The servant came to change the tea, and Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Brother Fan is not an outsider. If you don't have tea, just tell me what to do. Who do you want to blame? When I returned to Beijing, I brought a few kilograms of Anlong tea. Didn't Zhen'er send you some?"

Fan Shiben heard Jiang Anyi’s implication and did not blame him for treating himself as his family. He felt relieved and said the purpose of the matter with a smile.

The incident started with the unlucky man Yan Jiancai. That night, he offended the prince and was taken to the Ministry of Justice to listen to the punishment. This matter can be either big or small. To be too big, he said that when he was guarding the city gate, he got drunk and ran into the prince, and asked for a crime. To be small, he said that there was no accident in the city gate, but it just delayed the prince's time to enter the city. When guarding the city gate, eight out of ten generals would drink some wine to resist Ye Han. He was hit and whipped dozens of whips, and at most one or two levels were reduced to pass.

Yan Jiancai was taken to the Ministry of Justice. The matter was handed over to Jia Nan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, but it made Fatty Jia a difficult person. This Yan Zhonglang General is Liu Shizhong's son-in-law and Liu Guifei's brother-in-law. Of course, he could not beheaded for this matter. However, this person was sent by the prince and sent someone to the prince. The result of the handling was to be given an explanation. However, the prince was surrounded by people who were flattering in the past two days. Jia Nan could not find a chance to approach him and asked the Minister of Ding Ding Dawei to let him deal with the law in an official voice. In the end, Jia Nan's timid temper was like you, and I was too lazy to care about it. He ordered Yan Jiancai to be held in a separate courtyard with no shortage of food and drink, but he was not allowed to be discharged from the hospital. After waiting for the empty question to Prince Ming, he would deal with it.

He was not anxious about Yan Jiancai's wife, so Gan Zongjun came to deliver a letter saying that General Yan drank and ran into the prince while on duty and was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, asking his wife to find a way to rescue the general. Yan Liu hurriedly went back to his parents' home to seek help from his father Liu Shizhong. Liu Shizhong was thinking about getting closer to the prince, but when he learned about Yan Jiancai's incident, he was so angry that he scolded "the mud was not covered with the wall" and drove his daughter out of the mansion.

Although Yan Liu was very strict in his control over Yan Building Materials at home, he was also out of love for his husband. He thought that his husband could make his wife a success and his wife was honored. Now his husband was unpredictable. He wanted to go to the palace to find his sister Liu Guifei, but the two had never been close since childhood. Liu Guifei has a cold temperament. A few years ago, her younger brother was in the hands of Gao Yizhi, the Yin-Yin of Jingzhao, and Liu Shizhong sent someone to the palace for help and only replied, "The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people."

", Liu Xingjie was so angry that he scolded the child for giving birth to this daughter. He didn't even care about his younger brother's crimes, and probably wouldn't care about his husband's affairs. Yan Liu was eager for her husband but had no choice but to cry in the car.

The dowry girl Guizhi reminded: "Madam, why not ask the prince for help?"

A sentence reminded Yan Liu. Concubine Liu was cold and always let go of her children. King Luo Huai Shi Chongren left the palace to build a house at the age of ten, and all matters were handed over to the palace to the provincial government according to the law. However, Yan Jiancai and his wife were uncles and uncles who helped each other when they saw their nephews were young. Yan Liu often went to the palace to help. Shi Chongren was very grateful to the couple, and they directly asked their uncles and uncles for help. The relationship was very close.

The Luohuai Palace was built in Xingningfang, which was not as large as the Chuan Palace, and the buildings inside were far inferior to those in the palace. The servants and maids were also selected. The entire Luohuai Palace gave people a lazy and procrastinating feeling.

Shi Chongren was stunned when he sent off his crying aunt, and ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Zhuang to me."

In the Eastern Palace, the officials of the Chuan Palace were not fully equipped, and the officials of the Luohuai Palace were even more incomplete. More than a dozen officials were in charge of the affairs of the royal palace. Most of these people went to the Luohuai Palace to make a living. Anyway, the royal palace had no affairs to manage, and the prince did not take care of it, so he ended up being idle.

Mr. Zhuang Songwei, originally the teacher of the Liu Mansion, was the only person recommended to his son by Concubine Liu. He was in the sixth rank of literature in Prince Luohuai Mansion, and his official rank was not high. However, Concubine Liu told Shi Chongren to serve him with etiquette and should not be negligent at all.

After listening to Shi Chongren's story, Zhuang Songwei asked: "Can the prince ask the prince directly to plead with him?"

Shi Chongren thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I am not close to the prince. He will not give me face. Maybe he will take the opportunity to establish his authority, but it is not beautiful. In the palace, the prince is a treasure, and King An of Chu is also liked by his father. I, the third prince, have always been ignored. In addition to festivals, I can't even see my father's face. The proud eunuchs and palace maids in the palace do not take me seriously."

Zhuang Songwei looked at the boy lovingly, and saw a rare trace of melancholy in his eyes. Thinking of the beautiful figure in the cage of the bird in the palace, his heart couldn't help but feel ache. He sighed silently and said, "Since that's the case, the prince will go to Fan Yuanwailang and ask him to take you to Jiang Anyi, the young secretary of the Eastern Palace, for help."

Shi Chongren's eyes stuttered. Mr. Zhuang had never spoken much, was calm and had a deep look. He pointed to the key points of the matter in just a few words. No wonder his mother asked her to do it as a teacher.

In his heart, Mr. Zhuang and Jiang Anyi were compared. Shi Chongren listened to Jiang Anyi and said, "The minister will tell the prince about this matter, but General Yan will be punished, otherwise the prince will not be able to let go of his face. Prince, what do you think?"

Shi Chongren thought that his uncle often took him to hunt, and he was fine with three arrows. When he got drunk, he complained to himself that he could not go to the battlefield to make achievements with his martial arts skills and only worked as a pig in the left supervisor guard. As he saw that his achievements were getting farther and farther away, he was really unwilling to accept it.

"Mr. Jiang, my uncle is a rash man. He doesn't like living in the capital. He often hopes to make achievements on the battlefield. The gentleman might as well tell the prince that he would be demoted to Zhenbei Camp to atone for his sins. How about it?"
