King Langya held a gathering on Xuanwu Lake, and Sima Yuanxian learned the details in the evening.
Several scholars attending the party in the building became guests at the table, describing vividly the tit-for-tat confrontation between Xie Lingyun and Yang Anxuan.
Hearing "Form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color", Sima Yuanxian laughed and said: "Yang Anxuan did not write "Xiaochuang Youju", but instead studied Buddhism, which is somewhat interesting."
Wang Dan laughed and said: "Yang Anxuan has a rude temperament and has caused a lot of trouble in the capital in the past two years. If he can study Buddhism deeply to cultivate his mind and character, it will be a good thing for him and it can also eliminate some of the murderous evil in him."
Sima Yuanxian said: "Earlier, I heard that Duke Xianwu's grandson had returned to the capital. I didn't expect him to be a sharp-edged person. If you have time, you might as well invite him into the mansion for a while. You continue."
When he heard that "it is better to sit down and discuss the truth than to stand up and practice it," Zhang Fashun, who was shaking his feather fan, sighed: "This son is brave enough to do his job. The prince should make good use of him and serve the country."
Someone said: "Zhang Changshi, Yang Anxuan has already announced in public that Fuling will return to Runan in three days and Ding You will resign."
Sima Yuanxian was stunned. He deliberately snubbed Yang Anxuan, and his original intention was to take advantage of him. Unexpectedly, Yang Anxuan actually decided to resign, which made his plan come to nothing.
I heard another person say at the table: "I heard from Sun Tong, a member of the Ministry of Rites, that today he and the Xie family's children traveled to Jilong Mountain, and Xie Lingyun and Yang Anxuan competed in poetry."
After reading the poems of Xie Lingyun and Yang Anxuan, everyone was moved by the sentiment of serving the country revealed in Yang Anxuan's poems. Even Sima Yuanxian sighed: "Yang Anxuan is loyal to the country, and his loyalty is commendable."
The next day, the court issued a decree to comfort Yang Anxuan with gentle words, and to win over Yang Anxuan's love and allow him to continue to serve as the prefect of Runan.
Yang Anxuan's poems were sparse, and Sima Yuanxian followed suit. However, Yang Anxuan's song "Iron Horses Falling into Dreams on the Glacier River" gradually became known. Xi Hui, the Minister of Rites, should be given a knighthood to reward Yang Anxuan for his contribution to saving Luoyang.
On February 13th, Yang Anxuan set off back to Runan and boarded the ship at Xinqiao.
This time, there was a sea of people on the shore of Xinqiao, all of whom came to see him off. These people were well-informed and knew from various channels that the imperial court intended to make Yang An Xuanting Marquis.
Tinghou is a fifth-ranked person, slightly higher than Guannaihou and Guanwaihou, and does not have a title. However, Yang Anxuan can be granted a title with only a weak crown at a young age, and his future is limitless.
At present, there is unrest in the north, Huan Xuan's separatist rule, and war in the southeast. Everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is rare for the court to be peaceful. If something happens, the court will definitely order Yang Anxuan to serve the country again. And Yang Anxuan wrote the poem "The iron horse falls into the ice river into a dream", he will definitely not sit back and watch the current situation decay, and will definitely regain his love.
A banquet was set up by the bridge to say goodbye, and a scene of farewell was staged. Regardless of whether it was true or false, Yang Anxuan played his role seriously and did not fall into the trap of others.
At the Prince's Palace in Kuaiji, Sima Daozi summoned Zhao Ya and Yuan Tao into the palace to discuss the adaptation of a new play "Lying on Firewood and Tasting Guts".
Zhao Ya arrived early. Sima Daozi did not see Yuan Tao and asked why. Zhao Ya informed Yang Anxuan of his resignation and left Beijing, and Yuan Tao went to see him off.
Sima Daozi then remembered Yang Anxuan and asked in surprise: "Didn't I ask Yuan Xian to let Yang Anxuan win his love? I am planning to summon him some time later, so why is Yang Anxuan so anxious to help his soul return home?"
Zhao Ya smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually asked the court to issue an order to seize love, but Yang Anxuan resigned in order to maintain his filial piety."
Sima Daozi stroked his beard and said unhappily: "When the court is employing people, Yang Anxuan has disappointed me too much. In vain, King Qiao told me to use him more."
Because of Yuan Tao, Zhao Ya had a good impression of Yang Anxuan, and told Sima Daozi what happened at the Xuanwu Lake gathering of King Langya, saying: "Yang Anxuan said in his poem "Shangsi is the country's garrison platform." It shouldn't be For people who only care about themselves, if something happens in the court, if the prince summons him, Yang Anxuan will definitely come. "
Sima Daozi's face turned angry and happy, and said: "I didn't misjudge him." Then he thought that his son had targeted Yang Anxuan several times. Could it be that Yuan Xian was secretly worshiping him.
Since Sima Yuanxian seized power in April last year, Sima Daozi simply didn't bother to pay attention to the government affairs. He drank and listened to music at home, enjoying himself freely. However, Yang Anxuan was a useful talent recommended to him by King Qiao. Sima Daozi thought for a while and said: " No matter what, Yang Anxuan is determined to marry Ding You, and I can't take away his filial piety. However, I can't take away his filial piety.
There were a few words of advice to him, asking Ru Qianqiu to come. "
With little effort, Hussar proposed to join the army. Ru Qianqiu quickly went to the hall and knelt down on the ground. Sima Daozi wrote a letter with a pen and handed it to Ru Qianqiu, saying: "Qianqiu, you send a letter to Yang Anxuan on my behalf, and take the opportunity to see him off on my behalf."
Ru Qianqiu accepted the order, took the letter, and ordered someone to prepare a copy of Cheng Yi. He learned that Yang Anxuan had boarded the boat at the new bridge on the Qinhuai River, and rushed to the new bridge with his escort.
After having a farewell drink, Yang Anxuan was about to get up and board the boat. A colorful ox cart drove slowly along the bluestone corridor, with six knights guarding it on both sides.
Seeing the bullock cart approaching, everyone ducked aside for fear of hitting the noble man in the cart.
The oxcart stopped at the bridge, and a knight stepped forward and shouted: "Who is Yang Taishou who is supporting the spirit and returning home? The Hussar Consultant of the Prince of Kuaiji Ru joined the army and came to see him off on the prince's order. Please come forward and speak to Taishou Yang." .”
The King of Kuaiji sent officials to see him off, and everyone admired him. However, when they heard the words "Ru join the army," many people showed contempt and turned around to show they were gone.
Yang Anxuan got up and went to the bullock cart. The hussar asked him to join the army. Needless to say, it was Ru Qianqiu, one of the two sycophants beside King Kuaiji. King Kuaiji sent him here. What's the matter?
The green curtain of the car was lowered, and someone could be seen sitting upright in the car. Yang Anxuan was secretly annoyed that this Ru Qianqiu was ordered to come to see him off, but instead he sat still in the car, waiting for him to salute.
It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Yang Anxuan did not want to get angry with Ru Qianqiu, so he bowed and said humbly, "Yang Anxuan has met Ru Canjun. Thank you very much for coming to see her off."
"Hahahahaha", laughter rang out in the car. After a moment, a big hand lifted the car curtain, and a pair of sharp eagle eyes shot towards Yang Anxuan.
Yang Anxuan saw that the man in the car was in his forties, with a dark complexion, long and thin cheeks, and three strands of black beard. The body is wrapped in a black official robe, as if made of iron, and it feels cold to look at it.
Ru Qianqiu had a smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. When her eyes met Yang Anxuan's, she subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
Reaching out and flicking his sleeves, Ru Qianqiu said: "Prefect Yang, Your Majesty ordered Yu to come and see you off, and get on the carriage to speak. Your Majesty has something to tell you."
Yang Anxuan boarded the float as instructed. The float was half a foot square and had several seats inside, allowing two people to sit down and talk.
Sitting down on the brocade banquet, Ru Qianqiu pondered for a moment before speaking up: "Yang Anxuan, your insistence on Ding You's resignation will make the king very angry."
Yang Anxuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Renxiao, will surely understand Yang's difficulties."
When Ru Qianqiu saw that Yang Anxuan's response was neither arrogant nor humble, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Prefect Yang really knows the king's temperament well. After the king was annoyed, he ordered Yu to come and see him off. Prefect Yang, you must be grateful for the king's kindness." , repay loyalty with all your heart.”
This Ru Qianqiu speaks in an eccentric manner and is a complete villain.
Yang Anxuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty has shown me so much kindness that I cannot repay you even if my body is shattered to pieces. Please ask Counselor Ru to report to your Majesty on my behalf. I am willing to die for your Majesty."
Ru Qianqiu leaned back and looked at Yang Anxuan with a smile without speaking.
Yang Anxuan understood and said: "Associate Ru, please wait a moment."
He got up and got out of the car and called Zhang Feng. After a while, Zhang Feng came over with a heavy baggage. Yang Anxuan picked up the baggage and got into the car again and put the baggage on the case.
The case trembled, and Ru Qianqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Prefect Yang, what do you mean?"
Yang Anxuan cupped his hands and said, "Yu came from Ruyang to attend the funeral. He brought some rice cakes, and asked Ru to try them."
Ru Qianqiu stretched out his hand to touch the baggage, and saw the long strip of flesh. A smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Yang Taishou is so polite, Ru is ashamed to accept it. In front of the king, Ru will follow what Yang Taishou said." Chen Zhuo, by the way, before leaving, the king also asked Yu to send you a letter, asking Governor Yang to act according to what the letter said."
Yang Anxuan took the letter, cupped his hands, got out of the car and left.
When Yang Anxuan got off the ox cart, Ru Qianqiu said coldly: "Go back to the palace."
The bullock cart turned around and left. Ru Qianqiu unwrapped the baggage. The gold inside was dazzling. Ru Qianqiu immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes. There are a hundred taels of gold in this baggage, and Yang Anxuan is quite sensible.
Putting the baggage on one side, on the other side was Cheng Yi, who was given to Yang Anxuan by King Kuaiji. Ru Qianqiu was impressed by it.
The heart "forgot".
While the boat was sailing on the river, Yang Anxuan opened Sima Daozi's letter. The letter began with a few words of comfort, and then asked Yang Anxuan to secretly train another five thousand troops in case of emergency.
Sima Daozi made it clear in the letter that he would secretly ask the court to give Yang Anxuan an official document in the name of the Fifth Military Department. The baggage and equipment of the five thousand troops and horses would be supplied by the five counties of Runan, Henan, Yingyang, Xiangcheng and Yingchuan. .
Yang Anxuan clapped the letter excitedly. With this Shangfang Sword, he could legitimately recruit troops. When he appeared in front of the world again, he would definitely surprise everyone. …
The capital, Shangshu Province, and the Ministry of Personnel.
It's the time of year to appoint officials again, and the entire government office is so busy that the lights are on all night long, and the officials in the Ministry of Personnel are in pain and happiness.
Che Yin, the Minister of Personnel, looked at the compiled list and found that about 200 new officials had been appointed, 30% more than in previous years.
County magistrates and county magistrates accounted for most of these quotas. There were more than forty quotas in Yangzhou alone. Many officials in Yangzhou were killed or demoted during the Three Wu Rebellion.
The quotas in various government offices in Beijing have been divided up. The names handed over to him have already been greeted by someone. This is the practice in previous years, and Che Yin cannot change it.
Huan Xuan once again went to Shu to ask the court to appoint him as the governor of Jiangzhou and Jingzhou, and recommended his fifth brother Huan Wei to be the governor of Yongzhou, preparing to hold the three states in his hands.
The matter was discussed in the East Hall but could not be decided. The Minister ordered Sima Yuanxian to wait for some time before discussing.
There was another position that caused controversy in the court, which was who should take over as the prefect of Runan left behind by Yang Anxuan and Dingyou.
Sima Yuanxian proposed to let Prince Lang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs go to Dan, but King Langya wanted to appoint Shi Yindun in the palace. Both princes refused to give in, and finally let everyone in the court discuss it.
Sima Yuanxian believed that he was in charge of the government and his prestige was increasing, and the ministers in the court must be on his side.
The result was beyond his expectation. Shangshu Zuopushe Xu Cheng, Shangshu Cheyin of the Ministry of Personnel, Xi Hui, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and others supported King Langya. Chen Song, the Shangshu of Zuomin, Lu Zhuang, the new Shangshu of Duzhi, and Huan Xiu, the general of the army guard, stood beside him. Here, Cheng Jiangyan, the imperial censor, Dong Huai, the minister of five soldiers, and Kong Anguo, the leading general, remained silent.
Sima Yuanxian left angrily. He did not expect that there were so many people in the court who were against him. This made Sima Yuanxian feel chilly and drove to the Prince's Mansion in Kuaiji to ask his father for advice. …
In Jiangling, Jingzhou, Huanxuan accepted the advice of Bian Fanzhi, the chief historian, and issued a summons order to the people of Jiang, Jing, and Yong prefectures, recruiting talented and learned people to serve as officials in the government.
The order to summon the wise was sent to Yiling County, Yidu County, Jingzhou. A pair of uncles and nephews were discussing the matter in the study.
