The world is heavy and late

Chapter 146
The former dynasty has faintly quieted down, but the harem has not.

Because not everyone in the harem can see the situation as clearly as those ministers in the previous court; moreover, the affairs of the harem are much more troublesome than those of the previous court, and they need to be unraveled slowly.

After the first pass, Xia Qing slowed down, and the shock was given, and the next step was to slowly start washing.

But Xu Zhong was a little anxious at this time. It was already the beginning of July, and a month had passed since the time he told Xia Qing, so he was a little worried.

I don't know what's going on with Xia Qing?
Moreover, things in Yizhou are also hindered. Unlike Qingzhou, it is just a base camp, and most of them leave some people to guard the ancestral house.

Although Jiangnan was troublesome, the events in Qingzhou gave him good inspiration. When he went to Jiangnan, he did not go directly to the people or county magistrates, but directly visited many academies.

There are many academies in Jiangnan, and most of them are set up by aristocratic families. Every year, nearly three-fifths of the students from Jiangnan who go to the south of the Yangtze River pass the Jinshi examination.

This is also the reason why the emperor always wanted to run an official school. The imperial examination was to break the monopoly of powerful families over the court. In the end, most of the candidates who passed the examination were either from the family or students who were close to the family.

No emperor can bear it.

He walked around the colleges, and all the news about Maizhong spread in many places in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if there were several colleges, so what if he couldn't get in?There are many places by the lake where these students meet friends through literature.

These students are very close to the family, but the family will not tell these students their real purpose.

And when those students heard such good things that benefited the country and the people, they suddenly burst into blood, and many of them even bluntly said that His Majesty is holy and so, and they also want to serve the court.

Relying on these students, Xu Zhong successfully achieved his goal, but in the end he was passed on as a eunuch by those who cared about him, and he was despised and rejected by many students because of this, and he didn't feel much about it.

Because except in front of Xia Qing, he had never underestimated himself because of his identity.

Xu Zhong left Jiangnan indifferently, but in fact, Jiangnan still left his legend behind.

After all, when Xu Zhong's eunuch's identity was not revealed, Xu Zhong's talent and insight still amazed some people, and Xu Zhong was only 21 this year, which was about the same age as many of them.

It was precisely because of this that many people who were on good terms with him before felt that they had been insulted and deceived, and attacked Xu Zhong wantonly.

But Xu Zhong, who had completed the task, said he didn't care.

But Xu Zhong did not go so smoothly when they arrived in Yizhou. They were afraid that the wheat seeds would get wet because of the long rain in May and June, so they were delayed on the road for a long time, and they did not arrive in Yizhou until mid-June.

But this time Xu Zhong waited and watched for more than ten days, and only found a gap, but he was somewhat unsure.

Yizhou has always been rich and has many fertile fields, but the power of the same family is even more intertwined. Moreover, after Mr. Gu went to do business, many landlords and gentry in Yizhou also waited and watched the wheat seeds in Xu Zhong's hands.

There are many aristocratic families and gentry in Yizhou, and of course there are also many common people. Here, Xu Zhong doesn't need to worry about the new wheat seeds. Everyone knows, after all, it is the last stop, and some places have already harvested new wheat seeds.

But another hidden worry of Xu Zhong came out again, buying and selling by force.

He was worried that the wheat seeds would be distributed only today, and the wheat seeds would be in the hands of the gentry tomorrow, so Xu Zhong had been afraid to distribute the grain easily for nearly ten days.

He used the old method to make people walk around among the common people, and as expected, he heard related rumors, and Xu Zhong's heart became heavier.

Anping looked at the distraught Cheng Dalang, then looked at the ugly Xu Zhong, and said anxiously: "My lord, the people in Yizhou City seem to want to change their food. What are you waiting for?"

Xu Zhong glanced at Anping, he didn't really want to tell him about these things at this time, so he just said: "Go and pack up some local specialties we brought along the way, pick a few special ones, I will bring them tomorrow, and you will pick them up tomorrow." Look at Cheng Dalang."

Anping was a little puzzled, but he was simple in nature and didn't like to think too much, so he nodded in agreement.

When he went out, he saw Zhu Ba and Hou San who were guarding the door gave him a hard look. He was a little dissatisfied, but seeing Zhu Ba's strong physique, he shrank his head and left.

Zhu Ba was also very dissatisfied with the black guy and the skinny Hou San, they were always by Xu Zhong's side, but when they got here, they could only stay outside Master Xu.

The two were a little unbalanced, and they were still waiting for Anping's leaving back when they were called in by Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhongdao: "Both of you clean up tomorrow, follow me to Prince An's Mansion."

The two were immediately delighted, clasped their fists and said loudly.

Xu Zhong was shocked, Xu Zhong didn't know why the two of them were so loud suddenly, but he nodded calmly and let people go down.

When Wang An received Xu Zhong's invitation, he was drinking and enjoying music. Of course, he mainly watched the dancing beauties.

He squinted his eyes a little when he saw Xu Zhong's famous post. Naturally, Xu Zhong's entry into Yizhou couldn't be hidden from his eyes. He was a bit extravagant, and he really liked women like the rumors.

But he is not a fool, he is the prince who survived the seizure of the throne, although the main reason is that he was young at the time, and later his reputation was bad, and he was not very concerned about the affairs of his fiefdom all day long.

But it doesn't prevent him from not knowing about the contest between the emperor and the aristocratic family in this matter.

Although he doesn't like the aristocratic family very much, because those people are full of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, which makes him have a headache, but he doesn't need to get involved in this matter, he doesn't like this nephew very much, he looks exactly like his old man .

So King An thought for a while and said: "I don't see you, just say that the king is busy with business."

When Xu Zhong got the news, he was not in a hurry, but sent greetings for several days in succession.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Xu Zhong got the news that King An agreed.

Xu Zhong was very surprised and went back to the post station. While asking people to prepare things for going to Prince An's Mansion tomorrow, he wondered why King An would see him so easily.

He had a premonition that King An probably didn't want to interfere in the fight between the family and the emperor. The emperor sent someone to admonish him three years ago. If King An was as useless as the outside world said, he must understand the principle of being wise and safe.

He thought that he would have to spend at least half a month with King An. Although he was very impatient, there was no second force in Yizhou City that could compete with the aristocratic family and the gentry.

But he was just happy now, no matter what, he could see Xia Qing sooner than he expected, and he couldn't wait.

But at this time, Prince An's Mansion was not happy at all.

Concubine An was sitting in the yard, followed by King An's youngest daughter-in-law, Princess Anyang, Wang An was walking around in the yard with a displeased face, while other palace people knelt in the yard and bowed their heads deeply. Not daring to look up at anyone.

Little Princess Anyang is only nine years old this year, and she is not very old. Her eyes follow King An back and forth, and after turning her eyes a dozen times, she finally couldn't take it anymore. She ran to King An and hugged him. He said with his hand: "Father, don't turn around, Anyang's head is dizzy after turning around."

King An forced a smile, and said to Anyang: "Good boy, Anyang, go out and play with your brothers, father and king talk to your mother and concubine."

Who knew that little Anyang sighed maturely, looked at Wang An and said, "Does the father want to quarrel with the mother and concubine again?"

Wang An had some headaches. He loves and likes this daughter the most, and this daughter looks a lot like him, but her temperament is [-]% like Wang Hao's.

He looks very serious and dignified, just like his old father-in-law. Obviously his other sons and daughters are very lively, why is this daughter so serious?
Concubine An said with a solemn face on the top: "Anyang, you go out first."

When Anyang went out, King An couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted at Princess An, "Why did you let Xu Zhong in? You didn't know that Xu Zhong was sent by the emperor?"

Concubine An continued to look at Wang An with a solemn face, without even bending her back.

She was pointed out to King An by the first emperor, and she was also from a family, but of course she was the first emperor's confidant.

Concubine An's mother's family, Zhuoyang Liu's family, is very powerful, and their family is famous for their etiquette, strictness and self-denial.

Therefore, although King An is very generous, he respects the princess very much. There was even a concubine who was very favored in the past who wanted to frame the princess, but was taken care of by King An himself and died directly.

And Concubine An's descendants are either very successful, or they are loved by King An like Anyang, so Concubine An's words in Prince An's mansion are very useful. Today, when she opened her mouth, the concierge gave Xu Zhong the news.

Concubine An looked at Wang An and said: "My lord, Mr. Xu is the emperor's imperial envoy. If we didn't see each other a few days ago, we can still say that we are holding on to our status, but if we don't see each other again, it will be considered impolite."

Courtesy, courtesy, courtesy! ! !King An was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He didn't believe that Princess An didn't know what Xu Zhong was here for.

So he said directly: "Don't come here, don't you know what Xu Zhong is here for? Who allows you to go through this muddy water?"

Concubine An said: "The concubine is just receiving the imperial envoy sent by the emperor. The prince shouted so loudly that he really lost his status as a prince. As the prince of Yizhou, the prince should be treated as a landlord."

King An was so angry that he fell on his back, pointing at Princess An, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, Princess An, and you didn't speak for a long time, he really...

Xu Zhong entered the door and went out to do something else, saying that it had nothing to do with him, would the others believe it?
In the end, King An walked away angrily. He felt that he could no longer stay with Mrs. Liu, otherwise he would be designated to curse at that time.

Concubine An saw Wang An leaving, she didn't fluctuate at all; she just said to the outside: "Come in."

After a while, Anyang ran in from the outside, and said to Concubine An: "Concubine Mother, are you so angry with your father?"

Concubine An said: "It will be all right in a few days. Your father is still pointing to the dream of continuing to be wise and safe. Your grandparents have passed the news that your emperor's cousin is becoming more and more unable to tolerate the family."

Anyang said with a solemn face: "I saw that my father was going in the direction of Qiulanyuan just now."

Princess An said: "Don't spy on your father's whereabouts."

Anyang nodded, with a serious expression on his face.

Concubine An felt a little helpless, she didn't know how the child grew up, the expression was exactly the same as her father's.
