Chapter 413: Summoned in advance
Zhang Xiaowu was also shocked, when he first entered Longdu, some people couldn't wait to kill him, what was the reason, and who was the murderer behind the scenes? Li Canglan asked him if he could see the face of the servant, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help laughing, saying that the man kept his head down, and he really didn't pay attention.
The servant lowered his head, it stands to reason that it is the rules, Zhang Xiaowu did not pay attention to it, it is naturally normal, Li Canglan was also helpless, so he asked Zhang Xiaowu if there was anyone who offended, Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and said: "There are too many people to offend, countless people, not to mention the dogs and countries, even political enemies are also many." ”
Li Canglan asked his nephew Wu Di to follow Zhang Xiaowu throughout the whole process and protect Zhang Xiaowu's safety at all times. Compared with other teachers and nephews, Wu Di is more careful, it is more than enough to protect Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaowu was moved in his heart, obviously although Li Canglan was drunk yesterday, he did not forget his promise, he expressed his gratitude, Li Canglan shook his head.
It was already noon, Li Canglan summoned his subordinates to prepare for dinner, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said: "You can't drink anymore today, otherwise you won't be able to see the emperor tomorrow." Li Canglan laughed, and said that if you want to drink, I can't accompany you, I am on duty in the palace today, and I want to investigate this case, and I will definitely give you justice.
For Li Canglan, it is not trivial for someone to poison the imperial city at this time, and the case of the emperor falling into the water some time ago caused him to be extra cautious.
The two of them ate with a simple meal, and Li Canglan sighed: "You must be careful in the future, you are from a civilian background, and you are jealous of the scholars, if you offend anyone, they will definitely join forces to harm you." Do you know who the greatest enemy of the nobles is? It's the people, it's the common people. ”
Zhang Xiaowu was secretly frightened, nodded to indicate that he knew, and asked: "Brother Li, in the imperial court, who must not be provoked?" ”
Li Canglan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Dushanbo, the left minister, the right minister, and in addition, the king of Jin." ”
"King Jin? Who is it? ”
"The Ninth Emperor of the First Emperor."
"Oh."
"He is now the royal official in front of the palace, and he is by His Majesty's side."
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said, "Let King Jin accompany His Majesty?" I'm afraid this is inappropriate, it will give a bad signal to the courtiers. ”
"Actually......" Li Canglan whispered, "the emperor is not in good health, and the courtiers are also worried about him." ”
"Your Majesty is also a generous man." Zhang Xiaowu said.
Li Canglan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a massive person, and sometimes he is too soft-hearted. ”
Zhang Xiaowu asked him about the emperor's recent situation, and Li Canglan knew that if he didn't say it, others would tell him, so he told the story of the emperor's fall into the water and the king of Jin as an imperial official. Li Canglan said again: "The emperor's health is getting worse, and Zuo Xiang wants to cultivate King Jin in advance." He also explained: "The fifth, seventh and ninth princes of the first emperor were all born to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and he has always been the emperor's grandfather. ”
Zhang Xiaowu frowned, could it be that the emperor's illness was already so serious?
Li Canglan said: "In the more than 300 years of history of the Shenghan Empire, only Emperor Shengchong reigned for the shortest time, and he died in a hurry because of a vicious illness in just four years. Now His Majesty is seriously ill, in fact, someone did it deliberately. Zhang Xiaowu looked at Li Canglan with a smile, and Li Canglan said angrily: "You shouldn't doubt your uncle, right?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Next month, it should be Your Majesty's wedding, right?" ”
Li Canglan said: "Yes, but this wedding, I don't know if it can be done, the emperor's body does not allow him to be contaminated with women." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Whether he can be contaminated with women or not, he must marry the granddaughter of Dushan Bo, this is a national gift, and it is not child's play." ”
"Yes, this is a national gift." Li Canglan was depressed in his heart, although he had only seen Miss Yuying three times, but he fell in love with others at three sights. Li Canglan took this love in his heart, and even secretly rejoiced when he learned that Emperor Dade was temporarily inhumane because of his serious illness. But he also knew that Miss Yuying's marriage to Emperor Dade was a national gift, and even if she would be a widow in the future and be a queen in name only, she would still be a queen.
Zhang Xiaowu noticed that Li Canglan's mood suddenly fell, but he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "These days, the palace should be busy, why don't you see joy." ”
"Xu is because His Majesty is here, the head of the imperial city has been implicated, and no one has taken over for a while, so that no one is in charge of this matter." Li Canglan smiled happily.
Zhang Xiaowu is even more strange, the emperor's marriage has been delayed, are you happy with a yarn?
Li Canglan saw that Zhang Xiaowu seemed to find that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "You know that if we are preparing for a big wedding, our Imperial Forest Army will be busy again, and it will be too much to disturb, too much to disturb. Brother Xianzhi, have you ever been married? ”
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "I got married, but I was in a hurry at that time. ”
Li Canglan said: "Although I am older than you, I am behind you here because of the delay in practicing martial arts." ”
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "What kind of golden branch and jade leaf is Brother Li going to marry in the future?" ”
Li Canglan said: "Forget about the golden branches and jade leaves, as long as there is a favorite person." ”
At this time, a eunuch suddenly reported that the emperor suddenly summoned Zhang Xiaowu to enter the palace immediately to face the saint.
Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart, didn't he lock me up for three days? Why did you let me go today and it was the second day? Could it be because I drank wine and ate meat yesterday and was found out by you, and then you can't punish it? He tidied up his clothes, washed his face, and hurriedly followed the eunuch into the palace.
There are only a few places in the palace where foreign officials are allowed to enter, such as the Zhengde Hall where hundreds of officials are held in the early dynasty, the Zhengxin Palace, the office where the emperor approves and recites, the Yangxin Hall where the emperor discusses alone, and the Hundred Beasts Garden where the emperor exercises games, and it is impossible for ordinary outsiders to have any contact with the concubines in the harem.
The personal relationship between the prince and the concubine in the TV series is impossible at all, especially the Holy Han Dynasty such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Ruyi", and "Palace Lock Lianxin" are absolutely not allowed to appear contrary to human ethics. The reason why King Ning rebelled back then was because he was framed for having an affair with his concubine, so that if King Ning did not rebel, he would die, and if he rebelled, he would die, and he was finally forced to die.
The place where Zhang Xiaowu came was the Hundred Beasts Garden, and Emperor Dade was walking his dog at this time.
The dog walked by Emperor Dade is one of the dogs in the Central Plains, a slender and beautiful dog, Zhang Xiaowu once saw this kind of dog in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", very beautiful, and his personality is also very docile. Emperor Dade was wearing a golden suit, holding a leather rope, and the thin dog ran in front of him to drag Emperor Dade, and after only a dozen steps, Emperor Dade's forehead was sweating. He hurriedly stopped, asked the eunuch to bring some pills to make up for it, and then continued to walk the dog.
Zhang Xiaowu looked at it from a distance and thought it was very interesting, whether this is a person walking a dog or a dog walking a person, the emperor's body is indeed not good, it is better to take tonic than physical exercise, seeing that the emperor is thin, he should indeed strengthen exercise. But he could only stand aside with his head down, waiting for the emperor to finish walking the dog, and then summon him.
