Zhang Zhou thought to himself.
Just give me something and thank you. I am short of your money.
But you still have to pretend to be happy and smile, "Why is this so embarrassing? Since this is I understand that this is a compliment from the Queen, but it is disrespectful."
"Who asked you to reject others' desire to drink?"
As Zhang Heling spoke, he asked a woman who was accompanying the wine on his right to kneel down next to Zhang Zhou and pour the wine with her slender hands. Zhang Zhou did not dare to drink casually.
If this wine gets involved, I'm afraid I'll end up here.
But it seems that Zhang Heling doesn't care whether Zhang Zhou drinks or not. Anyway, he invited Zhang Zhou here just to complete the errand entrusted by his sister, and he has no intention of talking to Zhang Zhou.
"Zhang Zhou, I heard that you are quite greedy. If you do things for His Majesty, if His Majesty doesn’t give you a reward, you will take the initiative to ask for it, and you will complain when the reward is less. Is that what it is?"
Zhang Heling met Zhang Zhou took the wooden box over and looked like he wanted to count the money on the spot, and couldn't help but say in a disdainful tone.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I'm afraid of being poor."
As soon as he said this, even the girl pouring wine next to him couldn't help but look at him sideways.
In a place like Jiaofangsi, a person as straightforward as Zhang Zhou is really rare.
Here, who doesn’t hold on, hold on, and pretend?
Who is this person? It’s the Queen who is giving this reward. What an honor it is.
Zhang Heling seemed to appreciate Zhang Zhou's character of being extremely poor and greedy for money, and probably felt that this kind of person was easy to handle, as if he had a winning ticket.
"You all stand down, I have something to tell him," Zhang Heling said.
The wine girl got up and went out together with Zhang Heling's retinue, the Yingying Yanyan, musicians, etc. who were performing.
And here Sun Shangqi and Wang Mingshan are still standing in the room.
Zhang Heling said coldly, "I didn't tell you, did you?"
But Sun Shangqi didn't dare to throw Zhang Zhou in there casually. He was under orders from the emperor and Dongchang.
After Zhang Zhou smiled and waved his hands, they retreated to the door.
"Zhang Bingkuan, an honest person doesn't speak secretly. You are the one who tricked my brother, right?" No one was present, and Zhang Heling also began to make his words clear.
Zhang Zhou said, "Marquis Shouning, don't talk nonsense. How often have I tricked Uncle Jianchang?"
Zhang Heling sneered and said, "You are not talking about Jianchangwei, Jianchang County or... There may be an earthquake in Jianchang Mansion, which will implicate my brother, so Your Majesty sent my brother to prison."
"It was wrong, wrong, the order was wrong. Your Majesty felt that Jianchang Bo did things in the wrong order. He is too casual, and local thieves always do evil in his name. His Majesty is afraid that the ministers in the court will misunderstand him, so he temporarily invites him to Beizhen Fusi. This is a kind of protection, and he will be released when the limelight passes. ”
Of course Zhang Zhou cannot admit that this is his conspiracy.
Besides, he was just telling the truth, where was the conspiracy?
Zhang Heling said, "Is there an earthquake or not?"
"It may be, or it may not be. His Majesty said that by the 22nd of this month, before the news of the earthquake had come, Jianchang Bo You can return home safely, and Peng Quan, the commander of the Jianchang Guards, will not suffer any consequences." Zhang Zhou spoke as if he and Zhang Heling were of the same mind.
Zhang Heling counted with his fingers and immediately said displeasedly, "Twenty-two, doesn't it mean that my brother will have to suffer in prison for four days?"
"Wrong ” Zhang Zhou interrupted Zhang Heling again.
Zhang Heling glared at Zhang Zhou, "It's not four days, it's five days."
Zhang Zhou gave a sharp look in return.
You don’t know how to settle accounts. You can’t even ask me about basic addition and subtraction. Are you so unsure?
Zhang Zhou shook his head, “Marquis Shouning, what do you mean? If the news of the move has not come, Jianchang Bo will have to stay in prison for four days, but if it happens, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as four days."
"Don't worry, listen to me, your majesty is not doing this. In order to teach Jianchang Bo a lesson, it was purely to give an explanation to the ministers in the DPRK, so as to avoid being slapped on Jianchang Bo by some unforeseen disaster."
"Bang"
Zhang Heling slapped the table and said, "The surname is Zhang, and he said he is not the younger brother of the Marquis you cheated on me."
Zhang Zhou chuckled lightly, not afraid, and replied, "Let's talk seriously, I I also want to come forward to solve the problem, but after all, the earthquake is not something I said, and he can come down out of thin air. If I had the ability to control the wind and rain, or even shake the earth and mountains with the wave of my hand, I would still be sitting here."
As he was talking, he noticed that Zhang Heling's face that should have been furious had a look of timidity and avoidance.
His face was livid.
It’s like saying that you won’t really make an earthquake, or come and kill me with thunder. It’s scary, so scary
“Then what the hell? Will there be any earthquakes in those places?"
Zhang Heling's voice was trembling as he spoke.
For no other reason than that Zhang Zhou’s mouth was so effective that he could hit wherever he pointed.
God will help us fight, don’t worry about people
Zhang Zhou sighed, "If my guess is correct, the earthquake has already occurred, and it is in Jianchangwei. It is estimated that these two The news of the earthquake has just come. Think about it. The commander of the Jianchang Guards reported Jianchang Bo, and the earthquake happened. I am actually quite anxious whether those officials can use the disaster to make excuses."
"It will really happen"
Zhang Heling was also scared.
Even his sister, Empress Zhang, has no choice but to ask her younger brother to come out and talk to Zhang Zhou. It can be seen that no matter whether this matter will happen or not, the emperor is already sure that it will happen.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yanling has not been released.
"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded, looking very sorry and sympathetic to Jian Changbo.
Zhang Heling said, "Then you can't take back the earthquake."
Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "ShouningAre you joking? I am just a person who speculates on heaven's secrets, not one who creates them. There is nothing I can do to change the will of heaven. "
"Is there any remedial measure?" Zhang Heling said, "Now that His Majesty has so much trust in you, you even accepted the Queen's gift and did nothing."
Zhang Zhouzhao Wave.
Zhang Heling didn't seem to understand. When Zhang Zhou motioned for Zhang Heling to come close to his ear, Zhang Heling looked around, then stood up on the ground, staggered over and squatted down next to Zhang Zhou. .
"Hou Ninghou, the partition wall has ears, and there are people from Dongchang outside."
"Yes. "
Zhang Heling thought for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Zhou continued, "Actually, I have secretly suggested to Your Majesty that if an earthquake really occurs, in order to give an explanation to the ministers in the DPRK , let Jianchangbo go to the northwest, march with Wang Weining, and strive to achieve military merits when he comes back. He doesn't have to do anything, just like Zhu Zhijie, the second son of the Chengguo family, just run around and get the merits. "
"What"
Zhang Heling frowned.
Although his younger brother is usually domineering, he would not be a bad guy if he really sent him to the northwest to lead troops. Weird.
The people in the nest can still run out to kill the enemy
"I can only help here. If you are still dissatisfied, just give me a suggestion and I will turn around. Go talk to His Majesty. "Zhang Zhou shrugged, meaning that we are all helping Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Heling said, "You can't let His Majesty release the person."
"Yes, but the problem is The minister did not agree. The decision-making power of whether to arrest or let go of this matter does not belong to me. I said that Po Datian is just a magician, so what can I do?"
"If I don't tell you in advance His Majesty mentioned that there was an earthquake, but it turned out that the earthquake really happened. The officials kept chattering, so His Majesty's punishment for Jian Changbo might be even heavier. You also know that Your Majesty is the person who believes in God’s will the most. ”
“Li Guang, you are worthy of His Majesty’s trust, because there was a fire in the Qingning Palace and I was so scared that I wiped my neck”
“Hey”
Zhang Heling Although I think Zhang Zhou is trying to avoid it, it seems to make sense after thinking about it.
It seems that Zhang Zhou really didn’t cheat Zhang Yanling in this matter.
God’s will. What does it have to do with Zhang Zhou? Not only is it not a scam, but it seems that he is still protecting Zhang Yanling. If you really want what Zhang Zhou said, the emperor forced Zhang Yanling to commit suicide because of the earthquake in Jianchang Guard. Although it sounds nonsense, it is not without any trace. Maybe, I will lose my brother by then.
"Okay, I guess you can still do things, sit down. Zhang Heling said.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's Hou Ning, you sit down. I'm sitting here very well." "
"Yeah"
Zhang Heling may have had a few drinks and his head was a little unclear. He looked down and saw that he was still squatting, and then returned to his seat and sat down.
p>
After the words were "clarified", Zhang Zhou accepted the gift again and seemed to be still working for the Zhang family. Zhang Heling's hostility was no longer so great.He even regarded Zhang Zhou as one of his own.
It’s not that Zhang Heling is willing to look down, but he really has nothing to do.
What can he do if the Queen can't deal with him? Moreover, Zhang Zhou's ability is what he, who is ignorant and unskilled, believes in God's will and is afraid of death, is most afraid of.
Since ancient times, the more shady a person’s fame and fortune, the more they believe in those mythical things.
"Zhang Bingkuan, do you think my brother can make meritorious deeds when he goes to the northwest?"
Zhang Heling did not discuss with Zhang Zhou what happened if the earthquake happened. It seemed that he also He felt that as long as Zhang Zhou said so, the earthquake would definitely happen, and he also seemed to think that it was not a bad thing to let his brother go to the northwest.
Zhang Zhou said, "Hou Ninghou thinks my proposal is okay."
"Okay, why not? I heard that other families are rushing to go to the northwest. Anyway, I don't want to go. Secondly, it’s good to go and get some exercise. I just don’t know how difficult it is to achieve military success.”
Zhang Heling is also the kind of person who can cheat his younger brother but never himself.
Anyway, relatives of the Zhang family can have a stable foothold in the capital with or without military merit. Why should I go to the northwest and suffer? But if it is my younger brother who goes there, that would be great.
Not only can he win face for the old Zhang family, but he doesn't have to go there himself. With one less brother to compete with him for food, he, Hou Ning Hou, has a more stable base in the capital and can earn more.
Zhang Zhou carefully analyzed: "Going to Xuanfu has the highest security, but the lowest chance of meritorious service. Going to Pianguan, it is best to follow Wang Weining, but the walls of Pianguan have been blown up, so dangers and opportunities coexist. . As for going to Yansui, it’s actually pretty good, but it’s a bit far and a bit hard.”
“Oh, it seems it’s a pity that you didn’t go to the northwest. I know you very well.” Zhang Heling immediately heard this. It feels like discovering a new world.
Are there so many doors in the northwest?
Zhang Zhou almost felt ashamed after hearing this. This kind of nonsense analysis can still win such praise from Zhang Heling. You old Zhang family really has no talent. , is it so easy to fool you? You don’t have any capable staff around you
"Zhang Bingkuan, where do you think it is better for my brother to go?" Zhang Heling asked seriously.
Zhang Zhou also answered seriously, "Then go to Pianguan. With Wang Weining here, most of the Tatars will not dare to turn back, and it is easy to get military exploits by following famous generals. Wang Weining likes to curry favor with powerful people. Say hello to him from time to time, and Wang Weining will definitely take care of him. If there is anything that is meritorious but not dangerous, Zhu Zhijie will definitely get it done."
"Yes." p>
Zhang Heling nodded with satisfaction again.
It was in line with his expectations.
"Zhang Bingkuan, before I met you, I thought you were very ignorant. I thought you were very close to the Zhou family and helped them steal the job of building Qingning Palace. You don't need to explain. I know, you just set a very harsh rule, in order to show your ability in front of His Majesty, right? After this is over, you follow our brothers, and I will keep it so that you can be as prosperous as Li Guang.rise. ”
Zhang Heling began to draw cakes for Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhouxin said that he wanted me to die like Li Guang
His grandfather, you are a curse Where is I?
“I heard that the Empress Dowager often asked you to come over, so I didn’t say anything to you,” Zhang Heling said.
Zhang Zhou said, “I didn’t say it obviously, but I seemed to know. , the Empress Dowager wants to give His Majesty a concubine. ”
“You all know this”
Zhang Heling was also surprised.
How smart you are to be able to guess such a confidential matter.
Zhang Zhoudao: "The Empress Dowager asked many questions about Long Si and asked me to take care of His Majesty's body. But as you know, His Majesty's body is caused by long-term use of Li Guang's elixirs and the accumulation of poisons." "As soon as you don't use those pills and your body recovers, Your Majesty will soon become more powerful and powerful. In fact, there are some things that even if the Empress Dowager doesn't say anything, you won't be able to do it."
The more Zhang Heling listened, the more he felt. Zhang Zhou's thinking is very "forward".
In other words, he rarely interacts with "smart people", and he looks down on literati. It seems that Zhang Zhou is still helping Zhang in his brother's affairs. In addition, Zhang Zhou had some miraculous abilities. He immediately listened to Zhang Zhou's analysis and started to admire it.
"Continue talking" Zhang Heling saw that Zhang Zhou had finished speaking. , couldn't help but urge.
Zhang Zhou thought for a while and considered the words, "It will be a matter of time before your Majesty accepts the concubine. ”
“Hiss” Zhang Heling was not annoyed after hearing this.
Zhang Zhou knew that this was a matter of personal position. If Queen Zhang heard this, she would definitely follow her. He stared.
But Zhang Heling didn't.
Zhang Heling said, "That's right, which emperor in history would only guard one queen in the past few years, Your Majesty." It's too weak, that Zhang Zhou, this is your fault, why did you let His Majesty's body recover?"
From the perspective of people who have experienced history, I know that Zhu Youtang and his wife are deeply in love, and Zhu Youtang It has been consistent, but from the perspective of the authorities, it is natural to speculate on the unknown direction of the future.
Zhang Zhou was surprised and said, "Hou Ning, this is disrespectful. What do you want your majesty to do?" Good or bad?"
"Can't you just say it without outsiders? Zhang Bingkuan, tell me clearly, is there any way to stop His Majesty from having a concubine? You can prepare some elixirs for His Majesty so that his body can go back. "
Zhang Zhou was very surprised.
How stupid to say such a thing
Zhang Zhou shook his head, "There is no way, it is better to block than to open up." Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
