Chapter seven hundred and forty-six year old cold pines and cypresses
On the 30th day of the first lunar month, I rest. Today, the prince came to the palace to meet the queen and went back after lunch. Cheng Mingdao rarely slept until Chen Shi. His concubine Yang served him diligently to dress and wash, and the rice porridge he had cooked radiated a fragrance. Yang was given to Yang Quandong, the governor of Fuzhou. He collected wealth and beauty for the prince. Of course, those who gave gifts could not miss him. Yang was just in his prime, and was born in a beautiful and beautiful way, and could sing and dance. Cheng Mingdao loved him very much. Last night, Yang was as beautiful as flowers with dew.
His fingers slid across Yang's smooth face, and Cheng Mingdao smiled and said, "Xuan'er, I'll take a break today. I'll take you to buy some jewelry on the street, so that you can't complain in your heart, I'll be stingy."
Yang said timidly: "I don't dare. I don't want jewelry. I just want to give birth to a man and a half woman for the master, and I will have a support in the future."
Cheng Mingdao smiled and said, "It's not easy to have children. Just serve the master later. Now the master will take you to the street."
The streets still have the atmosphere of the New Year, red lanterns and red couplets, and occasionally one or two firecrackers are heard, and the streets are full of traffic, and the hawking sounds of shops on both sides are heard one after another.
The carriage stopped in front of a jewelry store. Cheng Mingdao helped Yang get out of the car. Just as he was about to step into the store, he suddenly heard a few children at the entrance of the alley opposite him singing, "Han Taibao, leave behind the remaining chapters; Jiang Zhuangyuan, forcibly plotting to seize it; his heart is not as good as ever, and it is hard to convince people."
Cheng Mingdao was shocked and asked his followers to call the children over. When he had listened carefully to the nursery rhymes and learned from the children that the streets and alleys of the capital were singing, Cheng Mingdao's face changed. The prince asked him to notify Jiang Anyi to return Han Taibao's books earlier. Cheng Mingdao wanted to make things worse out of selfishness and find an opportunity to drive Jiang Anyi out of the capital. However, in a few days, the rumors turned into nursery rhymes, and it might turn into prophecies, and the situation was no longer controlled.
Cheng Mingdao was familiar with history books, and of course he knew that this kind of terrible thing that came from the children's rhymes that turned into prophecies from children's mouths. The prophecies recorded in historical books were all accompanied by countless heads, and even changed dynasties. The court set up a censor, which could be heard and reported, and there were prophecies. The emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to prophecies. When Cheng Mingdao thought of being implicated, he was frightened and sweated.
Yang discovered Cheng Mingdao's abnormality and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you? But I feel uncomfortable. Do you want to see the doctor?"
Cheng Mingdao was so focused that he ordered: "Xuan'er, the master remembered an urgent matter to go to the East Palace to deal with. After you buy jewelry, you hire a car home by yourself. Someone will send me to the East Palace."
He rushed to the East Palace, and the prince had already set out to the palace. Cheng Mingdao was so anxious that he was wandering around the official hall. He finally remembered to communicate with Jiang Anyi first to minimize the influence. At this time, Cheng Mingdao didn't care about Jiang Anyi anymore. It would be a blessing for everyone to pass the test safely.
He went to Jiang Mansion to ask Jiang Anyi for his servant's return, "Mr. Jiang took his wife and children out of Dongcheng to play, saying that he would not come back in the evening."
Cheng Mingdao was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and cursed: "The knife is all over the neck, and he is still interested in playing. He is not sending anyone to find him, so he said that he has something urgent to see him and asked him to come to the East Palace quickly."
…………
In the Chuan Palace and study room, Shen Wenqing and Shi Chongjie are discussing secretly, and they are also talking about Jiang Anyi asking for Han Taibao's books.
Shi Chongjie smiled gloatingly and said, "It is hard to be angry with the public. Jiang Anyi is a disaster this time. If he can be demoted from the capital, the prince will break one arm and he will spend less time."
Shen Wenqing said: "The prince needs to make preparations, so you might as well push the situation and use this matter to shock the prince's party. But the prince should also be careful to prevent the prince from involving this matter to you."
Shi Chongjie said in surprise: "The Lone King has never participated in this matter from beginning to end, how could he implicate me?"
"Prince, don't forget Pan Heyi." Shen Wenqing smiled bitterly: "After hearing this, I asked Ding Chu to ask Pan Heyi privately. Pan Heyi admitted that he had written a letter of complaint and handed it to Tong'an. Wei Huaichao, the left supervisor of Li'an, also found him specifically to ask, and this matter was probably caused by Pan Heyi."
"Wei Huaichao?" Shi Chongjie said thoughtfully: "What did he do when he gets involved in this matter? Aren't he and Jiang Anyi both Zemen?"
Shen Wenqing sneered and said, "Father and son, brothers will still turn against each other, let alone classmates. Prince, the more you get, the better you get, maybe you will have any surprises."
Shi Chongjie thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow's great court is afraid that it will appear. Mr. Chen asked Ding Chu to remind Pan Heyi that if something happens, don't involve Gu's body."
"Don't worry, Prince, Chen has asked Ding Chu to say hello. Pan Heyi is a wise man and knows what to do." Shen Wenqing smiled.
…………
In the East Palace, Cheng Mingdao waited until Shen Zhengshi that the half-drunk prince returned to the palace. He hurriedly told Shi Chongwei the song he heard in the market. Shi Chongwei held his head with his hand and said vaguely: "The fragrance of Mingyue has been brewed in these twenty years is really amazing. Gu had a headache after drinking a pot. Cheng Qing, the queen mother asked Gu to bring a lot of them back, and you can take a few jars back to taste."
Cheng Mingdao was not interested in drinking, so he rushed to sober up the wine soup to Shi Chongwei. When Shi Chongwei became a little more awake, he reported the song and said, "What are you afraid of in this small matter? I sent someone to tell Jiang Anyi that he would admit his mistakes and did not return the book to the descendants of the Han family in time. His father favored him and at most he would scold him."
He stood up shakingly, Shi Chongwei muttered, "I am drunk, go and rest first, and I will talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do."
After getting Shi Chongwei's words, Cheng Mingdao felt relieved. The prince asked Jiang Anyi to take responsibility. He had nothing to do. This is the benefit of following the prince.
Just as he was about to ask someone to pass the message, Cheng Mingdao started to think about it again. If Jiang Anyi was told now, Jiang Anyi would have one night to think about the countermeasures. This person is resourceful and eloquent. The prince was blamed by the emperor for the matter of the imperial village, and the prince became a person of benevolence, loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and wise, and brave. Tomorrow, Jiang Anyi might be able to escape easily and he could not defeat Jiang Anyi.
On the first day of the second month, officials from the Great Dynasty and fifth rank in the capital were all participating in the court.
Emperor Zhao of Zheng was sympathetic to the ministers who had to get up in the middle of the night and issued an order to change the time of the dynasty to Maozheng, so that even if the minister who lived far away had left, it would be time for him to leave.
At the beginning of Mao, Cheng Mingdao came to the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial City to wait for Jiang Anyi. At the second hour of Mao, Jiang Anyi came on a horse. Cheng Mingdao greeted him and smiled and bowed, "Mr. Jiang, Cheng finally saw you."
Jiang Anyi jumped off his horse, handed the charcoal to Huang Zhu, and replied with a smile: "Jiang returned yesterday
I have heard from my family that Mr. Cheng has something to ask me for, but it is too late to disturb me. I am preparing to visit Mr. Cheng at the East Palace after I attend the court today. I don’t know why I am so anxious. I have to wait here for Lord Cheng.”
There were officials from the dynasty at Zhuquemen who passed by at all times. Cheng Mingdao took Jiang Anyi to a secluded place and sighed: "Master Jiang, have you ever heard the rumors in the capital that you asked for books from the descendants of Han Taibao?"
Jiang Anyi was stunned. He was not harmonious with this young secretary Cheng, so why did he care about him? He responded: "Jiang has heard something and is preparing to report to Long Live."
Cheng Mingdao said: "Longsui already knows this. He asked the prince to tell Lord Jiang that you would return the books to the descendants of Han Taibao as soon as possible. Longsui intends to protect the Lord. The magnitude of the holy family is really enviable."
Jiang Anyi did not make a sound, waiting for Cheng Mingdao's following. Cheng Mingdao lowered his voice and said, "The prince was busy and forgot to tell Lord Jiang for a moment. I remembered yesterday and urgently ordered Cheng to tell Lord Jiang. As a result, Lord Jiang's family went out of the city to play, but Cheng did not find him. The prince told him that if he asked him today, he would like to cover up for him. He said that he had already told him in advance, and Lord Jiang was preparing to return the books."
Jiang Anyi was furious. This was obviously to let him be a scapegoat. If the prince had told him in advance, he would not have happened today. Seeing that Jiang Anyi's face turned pale, Cheng Mingdao remembered that Jiang Anyi killed more than ten assassins while in Jiangzhou. He was afraid that Jiang Anyi would take action in anger, so he hurriedly bowed: "Master Jiang, Cheng's words have been brought here, so take a step first."
In a daze, he was in the court squad and followed the brigade to the Golden Palace, knelt down and shouted "Long Live". Jiang Anyiru was in a dream, and the Golden Palace's words were "buzzing", and his mind was blank. Suddenly, the court was quiet. Jiang Anyi woke up and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Jiang Anyi, is it true that Chen Jingshi impeached you to ask for manuscripts from the descendants of Han Taibao?" Jin Dianzhi, Shi Fangzhen asked angrily. Shi Fangzhen couldn't help but get angry. He asked the prince to notify Jiang Anyi to deal with this matter ten days ago. OK, now it's because the people have made prophecies uncontrollable?
Jiang Anyi hurriedly left work and knelt down. Before he could speak, he heard the emperor's words rolling like thunder. "Jiang Anyi, you rely on my favor for you to dare to do so randomly. Today, you dare to ask for the descendants of Han Taibao. Will the court officials not take them in your eyes another day?"
The court was silent, and the prince regretted it. He didn't take it seriously yesterday. Today, it seemed that Jiang Anyi was going to be severely punished. At this time, the prince thought about Jiang Anyi's good news and spoke up. He glanced at Shi Fangzhen's angry face and swallowed the words back. King An of Chu looked at his nose and his nose, but his affairs were not related to himself, so he hung up.
King Luohuai Shi Chongren bowed and said, "Don't rest ashamed, my son remembered that my son was taught to me to listen to me at the same time. Just now, the Censor Chen also said that it was just a report and there was no evidence. It would be better to listen to Lord Jiang's words."
Shi Fang's anger was a little relieved. He looked at King Luo Huai, and was still very satisfied. When he saw the prince's face was shocked, King An of Chu sighed in his heart, and said in a slow tone: "Jiang Anyi, do you have any replies?"
Jiang Anyi felt sad, but he was loyal to the country but was repeatedly trapped, so he simply tore his face and spoke freely. Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi kowtowed and said, "I have a reply from my hometown."
