Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth

When leaving Changle Gate, a famous palace maid was waiting in front of the gate. When he saw Jiang Anyi coming forward to salute, he said that he had been ordered by the prince to invite him to the East Palace to speak. Changle Gate is next to the East Palace, and ordinary people cannot appear in front of Changle Gate. Jiang Anyi followed the palace maid into Jiafu Gate and came to the East Palace.

Through the palace and courtyard, I went to Lihua Garden next to Zhaolian Palace. When the prince first entered the East Palace, he invited officials from the East Palace here. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Things have changed, and life has made people sigh. There is a sound of cups and cups in the garden, so there is no need to ask the prince to be at the banquet.

The eunuch who was waiting in front of the door saw Jiang Anyi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The prince has given the order. When Lord Jiang comes, please come directly. Please come with our family."

Flowers are pressing against branches, bees and butterflies are dancing in Lihua Garden, and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant. It is worthy of the word Lihua. There is a pergola on the grass in front of you. Prince Shi Chongwei sat in the middle, with more than a dozen tables on both sides, with delicious food all over the table, and everyone was having fun. Jiang Anyi glanced at him. Except for He Ziying and Ji Tianming, a few people knew him, most of them had a face. It seemed as rumored that the emperor cleaned and replaced the officials around the prince.

Seeing Jiang Anyi coming, the prince stood up. Since the prince stood up, no one on both sides could sit down, and they all stood up. Others were eating happily, but they interrupted him as soon as they came. This was a bit hated. Jiang Anyi quickly stepped forward to salute the prince, then bowed to the left and right, and said apologizing: "I'm rude, I'm rude."

"Master Jiang hasn't eaten yet, so the person comes to set up a table on the right side of the Lone King." While the eunuch was setting up the table, Shi Chongwei introduced everyone to Jiang Anyi to the banquet.

"This is the father-in-law of the Lone King, and his sincerity Hou Xiong Zhiren." The middle-aged man opposite him looked pretty and had a gentle manner, smiled and bowed to Jiang Anyi with a polite smile.

Jiang Anyi hurriedly replied, "I have met the Marquis."

The Imperial College, the Imperial College, who was a marquis because of his daughter, was a colleague of Deng Shanchang. He was as white as jade, had a slender figure, and was a talented person. He knew his daughter from his father. No wonder his daughter was chosen as a crown princess. The crown prince was already pregnant with Liujia, and if he could give birth to a grandson, it would be a great joy for Yuguo and Yu family. Judging from the position where Mr. Xiong was sitting, the crown prince still respected this father-in-law very much.

A large number of officials such as the Prince Zhan Shifu, Zuo Chunfang, Zuo and Youyude, the Sijing Bureau, the Dianshi Bureau, the Inner Direct Bureau, the Dianshi Bureau, the Palace Gate Bureau, the Tongshi House, the Neifang, and other officials came to the ceremony. Jiang Anyi tried his best to remember everyone's name. If he forgets the other party's name next time he meets, he may invisibly form a grudge and gain a reputation of being arrogant.

When Jiang Anyi sat down, Shi Chongwei took the lead and raised his glass and said, "Mr. Jiang worked hard for the country in Huazhou and had great achievements. The king of the Lonely King suggested that everyone respect Master Jiang together."

Everyone raised their glasses and said, "Mr. Jingjiang."

Of course, you must do a good job in the article on the table. As for what you think in your heart, only everyone knows it.

He Ziying sat in Jiang Anyi's lower head. He and Jiang Anyi were selected as the direct scholar of Chongwenguan. He is now in charge of the Zuozanshan Doctor of the East Palace (fifth rank). The emperor transferred the Eastern Palace officials to the Eastern Palace because he was honest and upright. Not only did he not transfer him away, he was promoted to two levels, becoming a full-time Eastern Palace official and teaching the prince.

He Ziying was deeply unsatisfied with the heavy responsibility of teaching the prince. Jiang Anyi had a strong position in the prince's mind. He heard that Jiang Anyi would not return to Huazhou when he returned to Beijing this time. He Ziying sincerely hoped that Jiang Anyi could enter the Eastern Palace and assist the prince with him. In the future, the prince ascended the throne and as the prince's teacher, he could achieve something.

"I don't know if An Yi's pilgrimage is arranged for this time? Now that the officials of the Eastern Palace are still lacking, An Yi is not as good as the Eastern Palace to serve, and Your Highness will definitely be happy." He Ziying said with a smile.

Shi Chongwei nodded and said, "If Master Jiang can come to the East Palace, the lonely king will be happy."

Others said good things, but in fact, most people don’t want Jiang Anyi to really come to the East Palace. Jiang Anyi is a senior official under the fourth rank. When he comes to the East Palace, he will definitely suppress most people. Besides, he has a close relationship with the prince. If the prince gets Jiang Anyi’s help, I’m afraid he can’t remember the others. Wouldn’t this good meal be eaten by Jiang Anyi? What’s the taste of the remaining leftovers?

Jiang Anyi said: "Long live, no decision has been made yet, Jiang should obey the arrangement."

To be honest, Jiang Anyi would rather be the youngest young man in Jingzhao whom he disliked was not willing to work in the East Palace. Others think it was a blessed land, but in Jiang Anyi's eyes, the East Palace was a fire pit. From Tian Shoulou's letters over the years, he learned that the prince was no longer the prince back then. He was greedy for pleasure and liked women, and he could not see the appearance of a wise king at all.

Today, the emperor's unconscious question in Leyouyuan made Jiang Anyi feel alert. The reputation of King An of Chu became more and more popular. Since ancient times, many people died in the battle for the throne. Zhang Keji repeatedly warned him not to interfere in the letter. Only by being loyal to the emperor can peace be ensured. Therefore, before the prince ascended the throne, everything was based on the emperor's meaning.

Xiong Zhiren silently observed Jiang Anyi and asked Jiang Anyi to come to the banquet. Xiong Zhiren was 42 years old this year. He passed the imperial magistrate when he was 20 years old. He served as the county magistrate and other positions. In the 12th year of Fengle, he was transferred to the Imperial College. After his daughter became the crown prince's concubine, Xiong Zhiren was closely linked with the crown prince, and all his thoughts were thoughtful and thoughtful. If the crown prince could ascend the throne smoothly, his sincerity would naturally be in power and his family would flourish.

Xiong Zhiren saw the prince's behavior, and to be honest, he was disappointed, but he was prosperous. As for the loss, it would be unpredictable. For the sake of the whole family's life, Xiong Zhiren had to work hard to work hard for his son-in-law.

The wise ministers stayed away from the villain, and they agreed with the emperor Zhou Chucun, Liu Yichen, Cui Yuanhu and others to demote or move Xiong Zhiren. These villains only made the prince indulge in fun and lose his holy heart. Many of the new Eastern Palace officials were advised by him, and they were all capable people in the court. For a time, the wise ministers around the prince were Bi Ji, and the court and the people's views on the Eastern Palace had greatly improved.

However, as King An of Chu became older, he respected the virtuous and the inferior, recruited talents, supported poor scholars, cared for the elderly, the weak, the lonely and the widowed, and the name of the wise king became increasingly popular. King An of Chu was the Huang family in the aristocratic family, and his relationship with Huang Shufei was not close. Several brothers were all small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks in the court. Huang Sheng, the spokesperson of the Huang family, was peaceful and not strong, so the Huang family's right to speak in the court has always been unremarkable.

In the second year of Jianwu, Huang Ping, the governor of Houzhou, was promoted to the Censorate. The marginalization of the Huang family improved greatly. The censor could have heard of the news. After Huang Ping took office, he wrote several copies in succession, accusing the powerful and tyrannical and officials of being favored. For a time, the ministers were scared of courage when they heard about it.

Huang Xi, the deputy chief of the secret guard, gradually entered everyone's eyes. This inconspicuous internal prison in the palace was highly valued by the emperor. More than a hundred Yuantian scholars were seized in Lingzhou. The county magistrates of four counties were implicated and withdrawn. The secret guard and his personal reputation were great. There are rumors that Huang Xi would replace Feng Zhong as the secret guard.

These forces belong to King An of Chu, either openly or secretly, and they already had the power to fight against the prince. Xiong Zhiren was not delicious. Under the banner of the prince, he tried his best to make friends with ministers for him, win over scholars, and establish a reputation. Although the prince was fun, he was not stupid. He was grateful for his father-in-law's actions, so he could be regarded as obedient.

After Xiong Zhiren learned from the prince that the governor of Huazhou, Jiang Anyi, would be transferred to the capital, and said to the prince: "Mr. Jiang can return to the capital, and your highness will be more armed. In recent years, Jiang Anyi has been away from the prince and is a little unfamiliar with the prince. After he returns to the capital, His Highness will be more interested in winning over the situation."

Whenever the prince Xiumu entered the palace to report, recounting what he had learned for one hundred years. Xiong Zhiren must go to the East Palace to wait for news every ten minutes. After the prince returned to the East Palace, Xiong Zhiren would carefully ask what the prince said and what the emperor said, and then teach the prince in a targeted manner how to deal with it in the late lunar month. At first, the prince complained a lot. Under Xiong Zhiren's guidance, the emperor became more and more satisfied with the prince's report. Jiang Anyi listened to it with relish, but he didn't know that this was done to the prince in advance.

Take what I said in the water pavilion today. The prince said that governing the country with etiquette is not that Xiong Zhiren does not know the importance of the rule of law, but that he wants the prince to leave an impression of etiquette, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety in front of the emperor. Even if the prince’s answer is lacking, it is easier to get the emperor’s praise than talking about the law without affection.

Watching Jiang Anyi and everyone drinking, Xiong Zhiren felt nervous. Lord Jiang seemed to have no intention of serving in the East Palace. This was a bit unexpected. From the prince's mouth, he learned that Lord Jiang had a close relationship with him. The perfume industry gave Queen Wang and the prince 30% of the shares. The last time he bought Yanshan Manor, he donated another million taels. Could it be that the prince asked too much, which made Jiang Anyi dislike it, or King An of Chu was powerful, and Jiang Anyi didn't want to mess around.

Xiong Zhiren raised his glass and took a sip. The mellow wine was intoxicating. Xiong Zhiren laughed in his heart. No matter what Jiang Anyi thought, he was closely linked to the prince on the day he was a direct scholar in Chongwenguan. How could he get out of here? After the banquet, he would have to let the prince leave Jiang Anyi, listen to his words and actions, and see what he thought?

The Wenhua Palace Fake Palace was the place where the prince studied. Shi Chongwei invited Jiang Anyi and Xiong Zhiren to the palace for tea and chat. Xiong Zhiren smiled and said, "The prince often calls Anyi the teacher he admires the most, but unfortunately he works hard for the country and lives far away in Huazhou and cannot get close to him. The teacher is respectful to the elders. The prince should let the princess visit Master Jiang."

The prince repeatedly said yes and sent a palace servant to invite the princess to meet him. Xiong Zhiren comforted him. Although the prince had some problems, it was worth his life for him just by obeying his own words. Shi Chongwei thought that Jiang Anyi was in Huazhou when he got married, but the gift was given, with a lot of gold and silver treasures, and four hundred bottles of perfume alone. This gift was very popular at the wedding.

On his father's fifty birthday, Master Jiang sent a two-foot-long jade Buddha. The statue was white and moist without any flaws, and it was worthless. Although the father issued an order to blame Master Jiang, he actually liked it very much. He offered the jade Buddha to Kun'an Palace and intended to give it to Mingpu Temple the last time, but his mother did not agree.

Seeing that his 20th birthday was approaching, what gift would Master Jiang give this time? The prince looked at Jiang Anyi and wanted to drool. If Xiong Zhiren knew what the prince was thinking, he would not know if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Jiang Anyi was frightened and the Crown Princess came to see the ceremony. This was not up to par with the ceremony and could not afford it. He refused repeatedly.

Xiong Zhiren smiled and said, "Don't be polite to An Yi. As the prince's master, you can receive this gift. What's more, An Yi sent a heavy gift when he got married, so he should thank him."
