Others may not know Yang Yun, but Princess Xianyi has an extremely deep understanding of Yang Yun.

Even if Yang Yun deliberately pretended to be confused, she could see that perhaps in her eyes, Yang Yun's ability was by no means only magical, and she could see the current situation very thoroughly.

"You can help my eighteenth brother, just like helping me that day, as long as you let Zhang Linggong look at him, the eighteenth brother will have a chance to show his ambitions in the court in the future."

Princess Xianyi made plans for Li Mao's future, not seeking the support of Li Linfu, but to gain the trust of Zhang Jiuling, the head of the hundred officials.

Yang Yun thought to herself: "It seems that Concubine Wu Hui knows very well that if her son wants to take the throne, it is best to be favored by Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, as for Li Linfu, a villain, she will only calculate her son." ”

"This kind of thing, it's better to take one step at a time. Laying out the layout well in advance is not necessarily counterproductive. Yang Yun didn't immediately agree to Princess Xianyi, even if he did intend to help Li Mao in his heart.

Princess Xianyi glared at Yang Yun with a slightly resentful gaze.

Immediately, as if she understood something, Princess Xianyi got up and walked out, leaving a sentence in the air: "Please help my eighteenth brother, don't take him to the pit...... None of this works, it seems that you don't want to work for anyone. ”

……

……

After Princess Xianyi left, Yang Yun felt that the little princess who knew me was also.

It is better to be loyal to anyone than to be loyal to your own heart, and you don't have to look at the eyes of others to do things, as long as you have a broad vision, it is not difficult to do it step by step.

Yang Yun recalled the process of getting to know Princess Xianyi.

In front of the little princess, he showed a lot of abilities, most of the time in the form of "Taoism", unintentionally revealed, subtly Princess Xianyi had a kind of vigilance against him, even if Princess Xianyi was not friends or enemies with him now, he still felt that it was very inappropriate.

"Princess Xianyi is too shrewd, probably out of a woman's intuition, she always thinks that I am dangerous, so I am targeted everywhere, and it seems that she will become an obstacle in my way in the future...... If she deliberately becomes my enemy, and with the trust of the emperor she has gained, she will say a few bad things at will, and I will be in trouble. ”

Originally, Yang Yun didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him befriending Princess Xianyi, but now he began to take precautions, mainly because Princess Xianyi had targeted him too much recently.

……

……

Princess Xianyi left the Drunken Immortal Building and did not return to the verdant residence, because she felt that she had to leave some private space for Li Mao.

Prepared for Li Mao the beautiful and moving singing and dancing of the young Ai, the purpose is to let Li Mao gradually indulge in beauty, things are not in a hurry, it is best for Li Mao to enjoy the singing and dancing performance first, drunk or not, everyone is drunk, once he enters a certain state of self-forgetfulness, and then doing other things will be a matter of course.

She went to see Zhang Yu.

An invitation letter was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhang Yu was invited out, and it was not much trouble...... Girls in this era are not so constrained by rules and regulations, and it is a matter of the Ming and Qing dynasties that the door is not out of the door, not to mention that the princess invites her, Zhang Yu can only go to the appointment.

In the tea room, Princess Xianyi poured tea for Zhang Yu, asked Zhang Yu about her current situation with a smile, and asked Zhang Yu about her opinion on the affairs of the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

Zhang Yu's answer was extremely cautious, and almost all of his words were diplomatic rhetoric of evasion, without personal thoughts in it.

Princess Xianyi suddenly interrupted Zhang Yu's words, and her voice was dissatisfied: "In my opinion, these are probably all things that Yang Yun's guy did by himself, otherwise why is it not someone else, but his sister who became a mortal maiden?" Could it be that Zhang Linggong doesn't have any thoughts about this? ”

Zhang Yu had long expected that the princess invited her to come, most likely to test Zhang Jiuling's tone, but she just wanted to understand through her mouth.

"The ancestors of the family usually did not mention this matter in front of the younger generations, but with the thoughts of the people's daughters, this fact is beyond the reach of people." Zhang Yu said cautiously.

Princess Xianyi shook her head and sighed, "Who said he couldn't do it? Sister Zhang should have heard about me fighting with the Tubo National Master in the palace, right? The reason why I was able to defeat Fan Seng was because Yang Daochang helped me behind my back...... Oh, it's time to call him Uncle Yang. ”

Zhang Yu didn't expect the princess to confide such important information in front of her.

If it weren't for Princess Xianyi's personal verification, relying on the Zhang family's intelligence network alone, there would be no way to find out who helped Princess Xianyi win the battle with Benbo Taibao, and the Zhang family originally guessed that the emperor instructed Luo Gongyuan and others to secretly help.

In fact, he is a very cautious person, taking one step and seeing three steps, and the suggestions he makes are very targeted. This time, he first set foot in the court, because he had no experience as an official, no one took him seriously, and he didn't even implement his specific duties...... Zhang Linggong might as well give a helping hand, saying that he may not be able to get a good helper. ”

Princess Xianyi commented with a smile.

Originally, she was saying bad things about Yang Yun, but in a blink of an eye, Princess Xianyi began to persuade Zhang Jiuling to recruit and cultivate talents, and the object was still Yang Yun, an unfathomable little Taoist priest, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a little energetic in his heart and raised his vigilance.

"Wasn't Daoist Yang Concubine Wu Hui's person before? He also helped Shouwang successfully hold this Taoist conference...... However, after his sister entered the palace and became a concubine, the basis for cooperation between the two was gone. What is the princess's intention in persuading my grandfather to find Yang Daochang as a helper? Did you say that on purpose? In this way, under the jealousy of the ancestors, they will inevitably alienate Yang Yun! ”

Zhang Yu had countless ideas in his head, most of them were defensive, and he never thought that Princess Xianyi was sincerely recommending talents.

"If Daoist Yang can do things under Zhang Linggong, I believe that he will soon gain a firm foothold in the court...... Zhang Linggong didn't have a decent royal relative to help me in front of my father, no, Yang Daochang could just fill the vacancy? It's also that the little sister is talkative, and she likes to tamper with other people's meanings, in fact, before Yang Daochang wanted me to compose poems, so I had the intention of publicizing Zhang Ling......"

Princess Xianyi said with a smile, not thinking that there was anything wrong with talking to Zhang Jiuling's granddaughter like this.

Zhang Yu's face did not change, and he couldn't stop saying that he had understood, but his mind kept turning.

"Come, Sister Zhang, let's have tea, I'm going to hold a banquet and invite some female Taoist priests to attend, my sister should have some understanding of Taoism, why don't you come together...... The invitation is here, and it would be better for me to hand it over to you personally. ”

Princess Xianyi finally said the "business" and handed over an invitation, Zhang Yu took it and handed it to the maid standing next to her without even looking at it.

"My sister must have been very busy recently, alas, I always want to know which family the Zhang family will marry my sister to, and if anyone marries my sister, it is really a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes."

After Princess Xianyi finished speaking, she accompanied Zhang Yu out of the tearoom, and was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, took out a letter-like thing from her arms and handed it to Zhang Yu, saying, "This is a letter written by my mother to Zhang Linggong, and I am bothered to hand it over to Sister Zhang." See you at the banquet. ”

……

……

Zhang Yu saw Princess Xianyi, her mood was extremely heavy, and she felt that she was being targeted by Concubine Wu Hui's family, and her personal relationship with Princess Xianyi became a breakthrough for others.

Back in the house, Zhang Yu told his father Zhang Zheng about the matter, Zhang Zheng waved his hand and said, "When your grandfather comes back, you can tell him yourself." ”

Zhang Zheng didn't want to comment on this matter.

He knew that his daughter was well-informed, and since he couldn't find out what the old father meant, he simply waited for Zhang Jiuling to come back, let his daughter go and talk to herself, and listen to Zhang Jiuling's opinion by the way.

Zhang Jiuling came back at the beginning of the lanterns, his face was heavy, his brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered something unpleasant in the court.

"Father, this is a letter forwarded by Princess Xianyi Tuo Yu'er, which was written to you by Concubine Hui's Wu clan." Zhang Zheng took out the letter, the wax seal on it was unbroken, and it was obvious that no one had opened it before.

Zhang Jiuling took the letter, opened it directly, read the letter carefully, and then put it down, and said impatiently: "That woman, don't give up yet." ”

Zhang Zheng said: "Father said, but she wants the eighteenth prince to be the prince?" ”

"Or else? She entered the palace a little late, and now she is in her prime, and she is deeply favored by His Majesty, but her son has not made a great difference...... According to the number of etiquette, even if the crown prince is deposed, it will definitely not be her son's turn to be the prince......"

Zhang Jiuling's evaluation was very direct, and he blurted out without caring about his son and granddaughter.

Zhang Zheng asked: "Does my father want to reply?" ”

"No need."

Zhang Jiuling waved his hand, "I will deal with this matter, as for replying to the letter...... It will only make her think that there are conditions to talk about, and it is better to ignore it from the beginning. Yu'er, when you saw the princess, what did she tell you? ”

Zhang Yu was silent, and when she heard the question, she immediately told the story of Princess Xianyi's meeting with her.

especially mentioned that Princess Xianyi said good things about Yang Yun in front of her.

After Zhang Jiuling listened, he frowned and said, "Speaking of which, I forgot that there is such a person in Yushitai today. ”

Zhang Zheng asked curiously: "Today, my father didn't let Yang Daochang discuss state affairs, could it be that he didn't do it on purpose?" ”

Zhang Zheng got the information before, Zhang Jiuling deliberately targeted Yang Yun and invited the officials of the Yushitai to attend the meeting, but Yang Yun was not invited, and now he knows that there is another hidden secret.

"He is a young man who has not grown up, and he doesn't know anything other than Taoist affairs, what should I ask him to do? It's also that no one mentioned it to me today, so I didn't take it seriously. ”

Zhang Jiuling explained.

Zhang Zheng nodded: "That's reasonable, Daoist Xiao Yang has just entered the officialdom, I'm afraid he doesn't even know the official system and specific functions of the imperial court, how can he exercise the power of imperial history?" ”

Zhang Yu had a different opinion, and saluted: "Grandfather, after all, Daochang Yang is the imperial history appointed by the emperor himself, and your respect for Daochang Yang is to respect Your Majesty. Today's princess seems to be deliberately talking to me about this, as if she wants to separate the relationship between her grandfather and Yang Daochang, is it ...... Meaning specifically for grandfathers? ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Jiuling's face was solemn and did not answer immediately.

Zhang Yu said: "Grandfather has repeatedly ignored the officials appointed by His Majesty, what will Your Majesty think when he hears it?" This Yang Daochang does seem to have some ability, and he used to compose poems to advise his grandfather, and he didn't have much malice. ”

Zhang Zheng immediately straightened his face and lectured: "Yu'er, is this what you should say?" ”

"The granddaughter has thought about this matter before, and the grandfather should have thought about it, when Yang Daochang came to see his grandfather, although there were many disrespectful words, the starting point was good. The granddaughter also heard that Li Xilang intended to recruit him as a son-in-law, and it seemed that he wanted to use his status as the younger brother of the concubine to show his loyalty to His Majesty......"

Zhang Yu persistently expressed his opinion.

Zhang Jiuling didn't answer immediately, and nodded after thinking about it seriously: "This is ...... There is some truth to that. ”

Zhang Yu said tentatively: "Then why didn't grandfather recruit Yang Daochang by his side?" Even if he is not used by his grandfather, he will not succeed for Li Xilang, and his grandfather will guide him to be good, so as not to become a scourge to the court. ”

Zhang Zheng laughed: "Yu'er, you are too worried, now that the situation is stable, even if he is the uncle of the country, he can't make any waves." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng deliberately took a look at Zhang Jiuling's reaction and found that his father's face was surprisingly solemn.

Zhang Jiuling sighed: "Your Majesty is now ...... Taoism There is also the courtesy of the Xuannu Niangniang, and the future is ...... Who knows? ”
