Seeing that the day of returning to Beijing was approaching, Yang Anxuan began to ignore what was going on outside the window and only read the books of sages.
During this time, I was busy with the noodle shop, and the driver had too many homework assignments. If he couldn't finish it when he returned to Jiankang, he would be waiting for the old man to blow his beard and stare at him.
The lights in the study room were on until midnight and then went out. Yang Anxuan hid on the bed tiredly, as if he had returned to the time when he was a teenager and catching up on homework at the beginning of school.
After returning to Jiankang on the 13th, Yang Anxuan first took Yang Yu to pay New Year's greetings to his friend Qi.
Yin friend Qi Chunfeng smiled and praised Yang Yu a few words, and then said: "There is a rumor in the official department that I will be promoted to the minister of Huangmen and the crown prince's right guard in the next year. Speaking of which, I would like to thank An Xuan for your advice. Only by sparing more can we achieve today's results."
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Every drink and every drink is cause and effect. Don't ask, don't ask."
The Yin friends all laughed heartily and said: "An Xuan became a disciple of Master Huiyuan, and Buddhism became unpredictable. I heard that you wrote two verses in Wa Coffin Temple and carved them on the stone wall, attracting countless believers. I went to read it, and the temple in the middle of the capital sent monks to read it. I went to Daochang Temple later in the year to offer incense, and when I heard Master Xian mention An Xuan, he praised An Xuan for his profound wisdom."
Having deep roots of wisdom is the mark he left on Buddhism. Yang Anxuan was secretly happy, his goal was achieved.
Taking advantage of the gap between words, Yin Dun said softly: "It has been decided that my sister will enter the East Palace. In February, someone from the palace will come to teach me etiquette. If nothing happens, she should be the crown prince's concubine."
The minister of Huangmen and the prince's right guard were both of the fourth rank. Yin Youqi suddenly rose from the concubine among the fifth rank princes to the fourth rank. In addition to the reason why Shangshu rescued the emperor, his daughter Yin Huizhen was selected as the prince. The prince's concubine.
Yin Huizhen's smiling face flashed in his mind, and then turned into a tearful face. What could Yang Anxuan say, and he spat out two words of "congratulations" with a sense of loss.
Three sighs sounded in his heart at the same time, and he reached for the tea cup in unison, silently.
Yang Yu was a little confused, why did he suddenly become so cold? He laughed dryly and said: "Congratulations to Minister Yin, congratulations to Brother Yin. Hahaha."
Yin Dun noticed something unusual and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, this is your first time coming to Jiankang. Brother Yu will be a host in the evening and will take you to the Qinhuai River to have a look."
Yin friends said together: "Butterfly Lovers" has been popular in Beijing recently, and the song turned into a butterfly and broke people's hearts, causing countless people to cry. I recently listened to it twice with my friends at Shenghua Center, and to tell you the truth, I also secretly listened to it twice. Old tears."
Yang Yu said with a bit of pride: "The Butterfly Lovers was compiled by my foolish cousin Yuan Tao. When he came to Tangyi to celebrate the New Year, he mentioned that because the Butterfly Lovers had been appreciated by King Kuaiji, he would be promoted to the eighth rank of the chief minister of Wei County. "
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Tao returned to Jiankang from Tangyi and visited the underworld to pay New Year's greetings. Yin Dun smiled and said: "Call Brother Yuan, Tao Ping and Gan Yue are also back. Tonight, I will help brothers Anyi and Yu."
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Anxuan came to Che Mansion to pay New Year greetings.
In the study room, there was no smile on Che Yin's face. When he saw the homework handed over by Yang Anxuan, he motioned for him to put it aside.
After pondering for a moment, Che Yin asked: "An Xuan, I would like to ask you, did you participate in "Butterfly Lovers"?"
The driver always had a smile on his face, but today he looked serious, which made Yang Anxuan feel a little uneasy.
With a sinking heart, Yang Anxuan explained: "When Yu went to Ruyang with his mother to visit relatives, he went to burn incense in the Liangzhu Temple. He was interested and told the story of "Butterfly Lovers" to his cousin Yuan Tao. The cousin wrote it based on what Yu said. I know this, but I don’t want it to spread to the capital and be known to Zhao Ya, the prefect of Wei County.”
Che Yin stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

Yang Anxuan slowly said: "Shenghuaju Duququ, Zhao Taishou also came to watch. Seeing that Yu asked two attendants to perform farewell, he felt inspired, so he asked King Kuaiji to invite Yu to the government to discuss the adaptation of "Butterfly Lovers". Yu did not dare to delay studies, so I recommended my cousin Yuan Tao."
What Yang Anxuan said was roughly the same as Che Yin's guess. Hearing Yang Anxuan mention that he didn't want to delay his studies made Che Yin's face soften a little. He motioned for him to sit down on the side seat.
Taking the homework handed over by Yang Anxuan, Che Yin frowned after reading a few pages. He raised the album and scolded: "Yang Anxuan, do you think that my old eyesight is dim and that you can get away with it by just smearing something on it?"
Yang Anxuan touched his head to the ground and said deeply: "Che Master, I know I made a mistake. I will never do it again next time."
This trip to Tangyi to prepare for the establishment of a noodle shop took too much time, and he really put a lot of thought into his schoolwork. Yang Anxuan knew that he was wrong and did not dare to emphasize the reason.
Seeing Yang Anxuan's good attitude in admitting his mistake, Che Yin snorted coldly: "Next time, you will no longer be Che's disciple."
"Yes." Yang Anxuan bowed again and then straightened up.
Che Yin looked at Yang Anxuan, who was sitting upright, and he actually liked this disciple very much, so he had higher expectations and stricter requirements for him.
Che Yin did not often go to the Imperial Academy, but he often asked his assistant about Yang Anxuan's situation in the Imperial Academy in private. He found that Yang Anxuan did not focus on his studies. This made him very annoyed and decided to beat Yang Anxuan.
"An Xuan, you are extremely smart. Even my teacher would be amazed when I read "Little Window Quiet Sentences" and several poems you wrote. Your answer sheet in the Tongjing test shows that you are talented and unconventional. As the predecessors said, if you can study the scriptures diligently, you will become a great Confucian."
Che Yin sighed and said: "But you are unwilling to study peacefully and indulge in fun. It is an elegant thing to live in the blooming flowers and play music, but you have people open Shulan Courtyard in Jingkou, and you have heard that there are people on the Qinhuai River There are boat girls who sing your two songs "Lovesickness", which attracts the children from all over the capital to come and have fun; and "Butterfly Lovers", do you really want to make a career in poetry and music in a brothel? Don't forget that your Yang family is a poet and calligrapher. Pass on."
After stroking his beard, Che Yin continued to persuade with sincerity: "The two verses you composed have come from Wa Coffin Temple. I have read them personally. They are indeed enlightening. All the eminent monks in the capital praise you for your profound wisdom. , you have been in the capital for less than a year, and your reputation is already widely known. I don’t understand what your purpose is?"
Che Yin stared at Yang Anxuan with piercing eyes.
Yang Anxuan cupped his hands and said: "Master Che knew that the Yang family was not favored by King Kuaiji because their ancestors had taken refuge with Huan Sima; my father's move to be the prefect of Xinye had offended Zhongshu Ling Wang Guobao; and the chrysanthemum-appreciating disciples of Hualin Garden had an affair with Langya some years ago. The Wang family has a rift."
Che Yin frowned slightly. He knew the situation of the Yang family. They were indeed the enemies of the whole court, and the Yang family could not be blamed for the reason.
Take the Hualin Garden incident as an example. Wang Chunzhi intended to frame him, so An Xuan couldn't be allowed to resist.
"The disciple also wanted to study quietly in the Guozi School, but the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. When he entered the school, someone provoked him, and Master Che saw it personally. Then the disciple got into a grudge with Diao Yun in a restaurant to help Shu Niang, which attracted two students. Then there was a conspiracy outside the Nanli Gate, and Wang Chunzhi in Hualin Garden deliberately framed him. If the disciple does not seek fame, it may be more difficult for him to settle down in the capital."
Che Yin really wanted to say to Yang Anxuan, "You are here to teach me, so feel free to study." However, the situation in the court was changing and the Yang family had offended the top members of the court. He really did not dare to say that he would protect Yang Anxuan. thing.

"This time when I returned to Tangyi to celebrate the New Year, I saw my father's temples stained with frost. Shangshu Sheng and Zhongshu Sheng took turns to scold him. My father was tired of dealing with it and had given up his ambition." Yang Anxuan sighed with emotion.
Che Yin snorted angrily and said: "Important ministers do not take state affairs as the priority, but instead vent their private anger on official matters. I want to report to the emperor and ask him to distinguish right from wrong."
Yang Anxuan sneered and asked: "Che Master, do you think it will be useful?"
Che Yin hesitated for a moment, then lowered his hands in frustration. The emperor indulged in drinking and sex, and it was difficult for the courtiers to see him. He could not see the emperor in his leisure time.
As for Shangshu, how could Shangshu Sheng and Zhongshu Sheng allow the emperor to see the remonstrances that were not conducive to them? Even if the emperor saw it, I'm afraid it would just be a laugh.
Yang Anxuan said in a deep voice: "After the Feishui War, the imperial court was indulging in peace and contentment and had no intention of regaining its homeland. Qin, Yan, Dai and other countries have never stopped looking at our dynasty. The reason why the Yan Kingdom signed a peace treaty with our dynasty is It’s just that we want to pacify Dai Kingdom first and then go south with all our strength.”
"There have been constant battles in the north in the past few years. This was a good opportunity for our government to launch the Northern Expedition, but unfortunately no one in the government mentioned it. It is sad."
Hearing Yang Anxuan's emotion, Che Yin blushed. In fact, he didn't want the war to start again in his heart. I'm afraid most people in the capital were the same as him.
Jiankang lived a comfortable and prosperous life, and the aristocratic family was extravagant and indulged in entertainment. During the Northern Expedition, they only talked about classics and mysteries, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, including the emperor and the king of Kuaiji, wanted to live in peace.
"The disciple once went to Changzi City in disguise. Along the way, he saw the common people in the north were like cattle and horses, being beaten and even chopped to death by the barbarians." Yang Anxuan said in a serious tone: "From then on, the disciple no longer thought about the poor scriptures. Hao Shou became a great scholar, and he wanted to learn from Huan Sima and lead his army in the Northern Expedition to save the people from fire and water."
"What, you want to imitate Huan Wen and Huan Sima?" Che Yin said in shock. Although Huan Wen had passed away for more than twenty years, the court was still wary of the Huan family. Sima Daozi once said that Huan Wen wanted to become a rebel. Although he spoke drunkenly, everyone knew that he spoke the truth while drunk.
Yang Anxuan said calmly: "We have the same intention for the Northern Expedition, but Sima has selfish motives, but my disciples are dedicated to serving the country and the people."
Surprise and doubt flashed in Che Yin's eyes. He knew that the Yang family's father and son were brave and good at fighting, and the clan army in their hands was a master of hundreds of battles. If they were not controlled, they might be as difficult to control as the Huan family in the future.
The court was suspicious of the Yang family, so the emperor and the king of Kuaiji divided the three Yang brothers into three places, tacitly allowing Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province to make things difficult for Yang Quanqi.
Looking at the majestic and heroic Yang Anxuan, Che Yin felt irritated in his heart and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and it is not easy to force him to be a teacher. I hope you will remember what you said today. Everything you do is for the country and the people. If you For the sake of bringing harm to the world, even if I am a teacher, I will not be able to live peacefully in Jiuquan."
Yang Anxuan said respectfully: "Disciples should remember Master Che's teachings and never dare to forget their original intentions."
Che Yin waved his hand in low spirits and said: "You are not determined to learn, and I have nothing to teach you as a teacher, so just go ahead."
Yang Anxuan felt that the meaning of Che Yin's words seemed to mean to drive him out of the door.
Once a teacher, always a father, Yang Anxuan didn't have much to say. He got up and came to Che Yin's seat, bowed respectfully three times, and then got up and left.
Che Yin closed his eyes and listened to the footsteps gradually disappearing. After a long time, he opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said to himself: "An Xuan, take care of yourself."
After walking out of the carriage house, Zhang Feng led the horse to greet him. Yang Anxuan did not mount his horse immediately, but looked back at the Che Mansion. The plaque "Linxiang Marquis Mansion" shone golden in the sun. He was afraid that it would be difficult to step into the door again after leaving.
