Chapter 172
Zhang Ge Lao hurriedly entered the palace, the lion king was powerful, and the emperor was now turning a blind eye, if his people let one person in, it would be easy.
On the other hand, it is difficult for those who have different intentions to come in and ascend to heaven.
Zhang Ge Lao came in all the way unimpeded, and found that the people guarding the main gate of the palace were not all the emperor's people, and the lion king's people were actually the majority, and he was more and more frightened.
He didn't have a good relationship with the lion king before, he was a person who stayed out of the matter before, that is to say it well, to put it badly, that is, wherever the wind blows, he will fall on which side of the wall faction, and in those years, there was no strong wind blowing to the lion king, and he had no chance to stand on the lion king's side and get acquainted with him.
In the past few years, he accurately grasped the direction of the wind and fell to the lion king's faction, but to be honest, he didn't know the lion king too well.
What he knows is the lion king that everyone in the court knows, and he really doesn't know much about what the lion king is.
I know more about the contacts in the past six months.
Their Zhang family made efforts, and the Lion King's Mansion also contacted them, only to find that the strictness of the Lion King's army was something he had never seen before.
And the people he saw were all from those brought out by the Lion King himself.
I heard that the masters who came out of them are now in the northwest, and they are the staff of the Lion King's side, and within two generations of the family, they have all been taken to live in the Lion King's mansion.
Moreover, living in it does not control them, and they can sometimes argue with the lion princess.
Of course, the Northwest Palace, where the Lion King and the Lion Princess lived, had a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, and rewards and punishments were also clear, not everyone dared to say anything - but the concerted strength of the Lion King Army was surprised by Zhang Ge Lao before, and now he is still surprised.
Of course, he didn't understand how the lion king had a clear way to distinguish rewards and punishments for governing the army, and most of the money that the lion king Zhou Rongjun had earned over the years had been spent on unifying the army.
For this reason, the lion princess will properly avoid its edge, and when these people have disputes with her, take a step back appropriately, if such a lion king army is useless, the lion king will not support his internal affairs.
"Elder Zhangge." Gonggong Su greeted Zhang Ge Lao at the door of the palace nave.
"Grandpa Su."
"Please come with me." The time was not early, Father-in-law Su was not polite, nodded to the elder of Zhang Ge, and took him to the road that their prince had to go to the mourning hall.
Zhang Ge waited for a while, and waited for the lion king who came slowly.
The lion king's pace is not in a hurry.
Every time Zhang Ge Lao saw him, he was a little unsure of him.
It's still the same now.
He thought that the lion king must be in a hurry when he summoned him to wait like this, but his expression was not like this.
"Lord Wang."
"Elder Ge."
Zhang Ge Lao raised his hand, and Zhou Rongjun also replied.
"Don't dare."
Zhou Rongjun didn't speak, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"How is the old family in the pavilion?" Zhou Rongjun gossiped.
"Everything's fine."
"Your granddaughter will get married in August next year, so it's not far off, right?"
Originally, the palace was scheduled for the wedding in August this year, but the Zhang family postponed it, and his princess actually agreed.
This August is too rushed, but next August is too late.
In the middle, if the Zhang family has another repentance, they will be in time.
The old fox of the Zhang family, but fortunately, the old fox thinks a lot in his heart, but he does a lot of things in the palace, otherwise, even if there is a princess on the side to persuade him, Zhou Rongjun may not be as the Zhang family wants.
But now it seems that just as Zhen Jier said to him at the beginning, he endured the thoughts of the Zhang family, and now the Zhang family gives back to him no less than he estimated at the beginning.
Sincerity is two-sided.
This is what his princess Zhilu Daozhang said to him about the delay in marriage.
The sincerity of the master and his subordinates is on both sides? Zhou Rongjun thought it was a little ridiculous at first, but now that he thinks about it, this set still works.
The Zhang family did not disappoint him either.
"Yes, it's not long, after the New Year, and then prepare for it, it's almost over, the old minister wants to start feasting on and off in May, and when it's almost July, he will go to the northwest to get married." Zhang Ge Lao singled out all the good things and said.
He was loyal to the Lion King, but he did have reservations.
But fortunately, it has been peaceful all the way to the present.
He also wants to be peaceful.
"Elder Zhang Ge is also coming?" Listening to his cautious tone, Zhou Rongjun raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Lao Chen only loves such a granddaughter and wants to marry him personally." Also to see the Northwest.
"Have a heart...... Zhou Rongjun turned his head sideways at this time, glanced at him, and had a smile on his lips, "That king will wait for Boss Zhang when he arrives." ”
"Don't dare."
"Li Xiang wants to see me?"
"Exactly."
As soon as Zhou Rongjun changed his words, Elder Zhang Ge followed without mistake.
Neither of them changed their expressions.
Zhang Ge is getting seventy years old, he has followed the emperor, he has seen the court, and he has his own skills in dealing with the world, but seeing that the lion king is so old, he is too old to guess, he can't help but look at Zhou Rongjun a few more times.
Zhou Rongjun's footsteps were slow, his face still did not change, and he even turned his head back, and he didn't look back at Zhang Ge Lao again, "Do you know why he wants to see me?" ”
Zhang Ge Lao pondered a few steps and said, "Li Xiang, it's hard to say. ”
"What's a bad way to put it?"
"Li Xiang is a talented person."
“……”
"But he is not pedantic, when the emperor pushed him to take office, he was just a talented and suppressed son of a family, in his clan, at that time he did not reach the point of calling for wind and rain, but after he took office, he talked well, his expression was not humble, standing under the emperor, even if it seemed mediocre, there was a posture of one person and ten thousand people, at that time, the old minister thought, he is not an ordinary person."
"Hmm."
"First of all, he is not humble, in the past few years, the Li family is not as good as before, and even a little less than his father's generation, he is still the same as before, he looks neither humble nor impatient, that discouraged appearance, the prince does not know, and now those poor scholars outside respect him for his unfamiliar appearance."
"Huh." Zhou Rongjun also laughed.
Zhang Ge didn't tell if it was a mockery or a meaningless laugh.
He didn't delve into it, and continued, "Such a person who can bend and stretch, the old minister doesn't know what Lu Dao says. ”
I don't know what Lu Dao said, but I still said a lot.
Zhou Rongjun also understood the meaning of his words, but this person was not credible.
"But you still helped him deliver the message." Zhou Rongjun said lightly.
Zhang Ge was dumbfounded.
But no, he handed over the word.
Whether the prince wants to say it or not, he handed over the words, and there must be a meaning.
Zhang Ge Lao sank his heart, bent his waist even deeper, and said in a deep voice, "The old minister has such a meaning, it is better to see it than not to see it, at least, he can know what kind of charter he wants to make in the open, this private intention, it is better to speculate." ”
The Zhang family is actually not easy, their family took the lead in supporting the lion king, and at least half of the pressure on the lion king in Beijing was transferred to their Zhang family.
Zhang Ge Lao has never been careless, now that Li Xiang is talking to him, the Li family has this head, he has to deal with it on the surface, he has to give the Li family this face, and the lion king's words, he hopes that the lion king will give him this face, so that he can stand up from the seven families and nine clans in Beijing.
To put it bluntly, that's what happened.
"Well, I'll see you then." Zhou Rongjun didn't give Zhang Ge Lao much time to react, he took a step forward, and the people around him blocked Zhang Ge Lao's feet at the signal of Su Gonggong and no longer let him follow.
"Zhangge Old ......"
"Father-in-law Su......"
Father-in-law Su was not polite at all this time, and said, "Master Zhang, why don't we discuss the time for Lord Li to meet the prince of our family." ”
**
"Too slow."
Emperor Wen of Zhou wanted to see him, and Zhou Rongjun was on the way to Dehong Palace and did justice to Duke Su.
Gonggong Su just buried the prince, which should be in early December.
Zhou Rongjun felt that it was too slow, and he wanted the prince to be buried as soon as possible.
He will go back to his wife and children for the winter, not with these dead people, those who hate him, and those who have no idea about him.
"Did you see Master Li first?" Father-in-law Su whispered.
"Hmm."
After these words, none of the master and servant spoke again, all the way to Dehong Palace.
Heng saw him and hurriedly said, "The queen mother is still resting." ”
"In the palace?" Zhou Rongjun raised his eyebrows and looked towards the main hall of Dehong Palace.
Keep your head down.
Zhou Rongjun also understood, and curled his mouth slightly mockingly.
"Auntie woke up?" He asked again.
"I said that after I fell asleep, I woke up again, and my appetite was good." Heng Chang smiled happily.
People like my aunt are good, cheap, eat and sleep well, others don't feel sorry for themselves, and they feel sorry for themselves is the right way, so that they can live a long time.
Zhou Rongjun glanced at Heng Chang, who was smiling happily, and entered the imperial study without saying much.
Emperor Zhou Wendi hadn't slept all night, and was rubbing his head tiredly to watch the folds, and his eyes were black and blue.
Zhou Rongjun didn't feel anything before, but when he saw his exhausted appearance, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he thought of someone, which was a little funny.
If he hasn't slept for a long time and can't be anywhere, his sweet and delicate princess can turn into a tigress, can come to catch people, even if he can't come to arrest him in person, he will be driven into a ghost, and the world will turn the world upside down to find him, and look at him to feel at ease.
His princess, like his mother, was never the same.
He hurt her a little, and she hated to dig out her heart and lungs to pay him all for it.
"Father."
Xu is face was relaxed, and he didn't even have time to hide it on his lips, but the smile that didn't fall off angered Emperor Zhou Wendi, Emperor Zhou Wen stared at the prince in front of him who didn't look like a dead brother, and his heart was nameless, and said, "Check it out?" ”
"Father said Li Lianxiu?"
"Hmph," Emperor Wen Zhou raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically and harshly, "It's a shame that you can still call a lowly person out." ”
The slut who died in front of his queen's palace was cut by a thousand knives, and it was not an exaggeration to divide the corpse of five horses.
Zhou Rongjun looked at his face, did not retreat, stood there and said, "Li Xiang said that he wanted to see me, the child is thinking, before the head of the Qiu guard who was on duty in the Feng Palace last night to find out the matter, should I meet him and listen to what he has to say." ”
It was not him, the prince, who wanted to speak to him, but his subordinate, Qiu Jie, the leader of the Praetorian Guard.
He came to the capital, first, to send the queen, and secondly, to report on his work, no matter how bad it was, he also came to clean up a bunch of crooked melons and bad dates, but he didn't come to be the head catcher for his father.
The author has something to say: There must be three watches tomorrow.
That's how I look at myself, woo.
Today's second shift is finished.
Good night everyone.
Thank you, dear ones.
