Zhang Yu left in a carriage, and the people who escorted her looked very shabby, only a coachman and a maid, and there was not even a nursing home.

Princess Xianyi sent guards to see her off, which is for this reason.

If Zhang Yu comes to her banquet and has an accident, she will not only lose face, but also feel ashamed.

Comparatively speaking, the team that came to pick up Li Linfu's daughter was much more luxurious, there were three carriages alone, of which Miss Li took one alone, four maids followed in twos and twos, and sixteen nurses followed on horseback.

As for Yang Huan's side, seeing that he was snubbed by Princess Xianyi, he no longer stepped forward to join in the fun, glanced at Yang Yun hatefully, and walked away.

After sending off the guests, Princess Xianyi looked at Yang Yun with a smile and asked, "What do you think of her?" ”

"Who?"

Yang Yun asked curiously.

"Who else? Miss Zhang! She is a famous lady, a famous talented woman in Chang'an, I don't know how many people want to marry her...... At the banquet before, you helped her out of the siege, did you look at her differently? Princess Xianyi said jokingly.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Princess Yan smiled." ”

Princess Xianyi thought thoughtfully: "I didn't laugh with you, at the banquet just now, you seemed to be a little disdainful of that Miss Li, and you actually cast a spell to play tricks...... I always feel that things are a little unusual, and in the matter of helping me compose poems, you are obviously on the opposite side of the Zhang family...... It's weird. ”

Obviously, Princess Xianyi couldn't understand Yang Yun's intentions, so she only helped her compose poems to entertain Zhang Jiuling before, but at today's banquet, she helped Zhang Jiuling's granddaughter, so inconsistent, there is only one explanation, that is, Yang Yun fell in love with Miss Zhang.

But Yang Yun has never had any ill will towards Zhang Jiuling, and wrote that poem under the pretense of Princess Xianyi, just to give Zhang Jiuling a wake-up call, so that the Tang Dynasty sage realized that the main direction of outsiders attacking him is to form a party for personal gain, and he needs to guard against the slightest mistake and avoid giving others a handle to attack.

But today, Princess Xianyi revealed the matter, it was a poem written by him, and it is difficult to say how Zhang Jiuling reacted.

Yang Yunxin said: "As the prime minister of the prosperous era who has left a name in history, you can hold the boat in your belly, so you don't even have this demeanor, right?" ”

"Princess, I'm going to say goodbye next."

Yang Yun didn't want to explain to Princess Xianyi, so he immediately asked to leave.

Princess Xianyi looked at Yang Yun with a strange gaze, and said angrily: "If you help Miss Zhang today, she won't accept your affection, and if you offend Miss Li, it will cause you endless trouble......"

Yang Yun suddenly understood why Princess Xianyi wanted to explain the truth of poetry in front of Zhang Yu.

Maybe Princess Xianyi felt that Yang Yun was biased towards Miss Zhang, and because Concubine Wu Hui had a dislike for Zhang Jiuling, even if Princess Xianyi wanted to be sisters with Zhang Yu, she didn't want Yang Yun to be related to Zhang Jiuling's faction.

exposed the truth of Yang Yun's poetry, and completely blocked the road for Yang Yun to move closer to Zhang Jiuling.

Yang Yun sighed secretly: "In the end, she is a princess, she is scheming, and her political sense is very accessible...... I didn't want to be confused and fell in love with her. ”

Yang Yun smiled brightly and said, "Today is just a little trick at the banquet, how can it be related to the issue of who to offend and who to help?" As for that poem, it's even less worth mentioning, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has a lot of opportunities, how can he take this little thing in his eyes and embarrass me? ”

"Really?"

Princess Xianyi's face was full of wise smiles.

Yang Yun could only deliberately pretend to be confused.

"I hope so, then Hongu wishes you good luck?"

Princess Xianyi squeezed her brows, Yang Yun's mood suddenly became very bad, and she felt that the other party was going to tie herself to Concubine Wu Hui's boat.

Branded as a political faction, it is not so easy to get out, and Yang Yun understands this very well.

……

……

Zhang Jiuling's mansion, study.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling was reviewing the approval documents, and even if he came back late, he was still conscientious and conscientious, and treated official affairs with a cautious attitude that he had never had before.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and his son Zhang Zheng walked into the study.

"Fengjie, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Jiuling looked up at Zhang Zheng.

"Father, Yu'er came back from the princess's banquet and said that she had something important to tell you." Zhang Zheng is Zhang Jiuling's eldest son.

Zhang Jiuling is the founding meritorious Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling has younger brothers Zhang Jiuzhang and Zhang Jiugao as officials in the court, and he has two sons, Zhang Zheng and Zhang Ting.

At this time, Zhang Zheng and Zhang Ting had not yet come out, and they were more of a staff member of their father's staff, giving advice on government affairs.

Zhang Jiuling's face was displeased: "Yu'er went to the princess's banquet, it's not a big deal, doesn't she know what to do, she has to come to disturb me to do business?" ”

"It's really an important thing, the truth about the princess's poems at the palace banquet that day......" Zhang Zheng explained.

Zhang Jiuling took a breath, this matter has too much impact on him, he has been cautious recently, for fear of being jealous of the emperor, and this is why.

At this time, when he heard that it was related to the poem written by the princess, he immediately changed his attitude and nodded, "Then let her come to the study." ”

Not long after, Zhang Yu appeared in front of Zhang Jiuling and hired Ting.

"Father Er's said that you went to the princess's banquet, and told me about the palace banquet and poetry making that day?" Zhang Jiuling did not stand up to the elders in front of Zhang Yu, his eyes were kind, and his tone was gentle.

Zhang Yu looked very anxious, and said: "Grandfather has been worried about the palace banquet recently, but in fact, there is no need, according to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the poem that day was not given by the will of the saint, but from others. ”

Zhang Jiuling sighed: "It may also be that His Majesty intends to pass it on to the princess through the mouth of others." ”

"No, the granddaughter of the poet has seen it, but it is a Taoist priest named Yang Yun, who was famous for restoring the statue of the Taoist patriarch in Luoyang Taoist Temple last year."

Zhang Yu truthfully informed Zhang Jiuling of the news he had obtained.

Zhang Jiuling was holding the pen, and when he heard the words, the pen couldn't help but fall on the table, splashing a cloud of ink.

"Father's ......"

Zhang Zheng saw Zhang Jiuling's gaffe, and hurriedly reminded him.

Zhang Jiuling picked up the pen in a hurry, still with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked for a while, "Is it that little Taoist priest?" ”

Zhang Zheng reminded: "According to previous rumors, Concubine Hui intends to collect Li Xilang, and through King Shou and Princess Xianyi, the Taoist priest called Yang Yun is only fifteen years old, but he has great magical powers, and he followed his master Wuzun Zhenren into the palace, and fought with Luo Gongyuan in front of His Majesty, which is indistinguishable. Its supernatural powers are known to be recited by the people of the Eastern Capital, and even more so...... Concubine Hui intends to let King Shou recruit his master and apprentice to his command, and usually haunts the princess, this princess banquet, Princess Xianyi also took him with him, which shows that he has won the trust of the princess. ”

Hearing his son tell the story of a little Taoist priest in an extremely evil way, Zhang Jiuling frowned.

If it was before, he wouldn't care about what a little Taoist priest said and did, but now he was obviously "played" by this person, and he was frightened for several days after the palace banquet that day, and now he realized that everything was because of this little Taoist priest, which made Zhang Jiuling quite incomprehensible.

Zi Bu is strange and confused, I am the prime minister of the court, can I still be deceived by a Taoist priest who makes a living by being abducted and deceived by the pit?

At this time, Zhang Yu added: "At today's princess banquet, my granddaughter saw the ability of Yang Yun Dao Chang with her own eyes, and moved the teacup in the air in full view of everyone. The granddaughter carefully checked that there was no transparent silk thread in the air, and he seemed to have great magical powers. ”

Zhang Zheng said: "Tell your grandfather in detail about the scene at that time." ”

"Yes......"

Zhang Yu told Zhang Jiuling about what he experienced at the banquet in 1510, and even the contradictions between Li Linfu's daughter and her were clear.

After listening to this, Zhang Jiuling's expression did not move, and after pondering for a long time, he shook his head slightly: "The origin of this Taoist priest is a mystery, as for the poem...... It needs to be verified in detail, Fengjie, you send someone to find out the news, first investigate his identity and origin, and then find out his relationship with Concubine Hui. ”

"Father, knowing that the poem of the palace banquet was not written by His Majesty's will, is it necessary to study it carefully?" Zhang Zheng was puzzled.

Since he already knew that the poem was written by Yang Yun, Princess Xianyi's staff, and the emperor didn't mean to target anyone from beginning to end, then the matter should be over for the time being, and Zhang Jiuling only needed to relax.

Zhang Jiuling slowly put down the brush, looked at the ink on the table, and sighed: "Even if he has some ability as a Taoist priest, how can he be so good at learning?" Let's get to the bottom of things before we talk about them. ”

……

……

Zhang Jiuling was very concerned about who did the poem, and asked Zhang Zheng to send someone to investigate clearly.

But the problem is that the origin of this poem is only known to Yang Yun and Princess Xianyi, and outsiders can't explore the secrets, and Princess Xianyi can't tell the story a second time.

Before the results of the investigation, Zhang Jiuling still felt that what Princess Xianyi said to Zhang Yu was a lie, and most of the poems were written by those talented Hanlin in the court, which were instructed by the emperor, but it was still impossible to find out who wrote them.

On the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Jiuling informed Pei Yaoqing, who also went to Taifu Temple to allocate funds for river repair.

Pei Yaoqing smiled dumbly when he heard this: "Zishou, you have lost your reputation in your life, and you haven't verified who wrote the poem before?" ”

Zhang Jiuling said with emotion: "You and I were at the same table that day, when we know the situation, who can ask who wrote the poem in detail afterwards?" Don't you even think it's the Lord's will? ”

"Alas!"

Pei Yaoqing sighed, "The situation that night, it's really unbelievable to think about it, Princess Xianyi has no poetic talent, and I know that the poems are not from her......

The two old friends looked at each other, and a wry smile appeared on their faces.

Pei Yaoqing asked: "Since you learned from the princess that the poem was written by someone else, have you checked it clearly?" ”

Zhang Jiuling shook his head: "It has been many days since the incident, how can I verify it?" Who knows what the princess said is true? ”

"That's not hard." Pei Yaoqing suddenly laughed, patted his thigh with his right hand, and said.

"Huh?"

Zhang Jiuling looked at his old friend suspiciously.

Pei Yaoqing said with a smile: "You go to ask Princess Xianyi, you can't get an answer, and you can't ask Your Majesty to verify it, but didn't Princess Xianyi say that the poem was made by that little Taoist?" Why don't you ask him? ”

Zhang Jiuling's old face wrinkled: "You let me talk to a little doll about this?" ”

"You don't have to go, just ask someone, let Fengjie go, or find someone to ask...... As long as you are not rude, you can always ask the truth, and then you will be at ease? ”

Pei Yaoqing was distressed by Zhang Jiuling's overreaction in the past few days, and hoped that his old friend could get rid of the psychological shadow as soon as possible.

Zhang Jiuling thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems that this can only be the case, but I hope that there are irrelevant people to go and verify." ”

"Zishou doesn't want me to go, does he?" Pei Yaoqing asked in surprise.

"Huan Zhi is in the service, when the prime minister goes to see a Taoist priest, it is still unseemly, but it is better to let the people in the market to see, if it is verified that he did it, I can also do a matter of care."

Zhang Jiuling said helplessly with a sigh.
