Zhang Shixing hurriedly got up to give up his seat, and after Zhang Xin sat down, he asked, "I have nothing to do today, so I will go to the back for a walk." How did the two of you go to the Yanwang Mansion to investigate the King of Gaoyang County? ”

Zhang Shixing sighed and said, "I found nothing, I don't know where Zhu Gaoxu is hiding." I'm discussing with Niu Er how to do it, otherwise I won't be able to deliver the order. ”

Zhang Xindao: "King Yan is seriously ill, as the commander of Beiping, I should pay a visit, why don't I go to the palace to visit the sick, and by the way, find out the whereabouts of the king of Gaoyang County." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your help, there will be a good reward in the future." ”

Zhang Xin waved his hand and said: "Zhang Tongzhi doesn't have to be polite, I think you also helped in the case of Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, and you should be rewarded today." Besides, His Majesty ordered me to guard Beiping, and I have not made an inch, and if Zhang Tongzhi is flying in the future, he will also take my brother with him. ”

Zhang Shixing said with a smile: "The commander is laughing." You and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we should help each other. ”

Zhang Xin smiled: "This is very good, a word is a certainty." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xin took his leave, prepared gifts, took a few sergeants, and rode towards the Yanwang Mansion.

Zhang Xin came to the front of the Duanli Gate, threw off the saddle and dismounted, handed over the name post, explained the intention to the guard sergeant, the guard sergeant entered the house and returned, and after a while, he ran out and said to Zhang Xin: "Zhang Du commanded please return, the princess said that the gift was accepted, the mind has been received, King Yan is seriously ill, and there are no outsiders." ”

Zhang Xinzhi offered gifts to others, but he was unwilling to leave, so he wandered in front of the Duanli Gate, as a dignified commander of the second grade, he didn't even enter the door of Yanwang's Mansion, let alone investigate Zhu Gaoxu's whereabouts, for fear of being laughed at by Zhang Shixing and others after going back.

In the middle of hesitation, Yanshan Zuo Guard commanded Zhang Yu to enter the palace after finishing his work, when he saw Zhang Xin hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and asked: "Commander, what are you doing here, why are you wandering outside the palace gate?" ”

Zhang Xin smiled embarrassedly: "This official was about to enter the mansion to visit King Yan's illness, but he didn't think about it. ”

Zhang Yu immediately understood a little, it seemed that Zhang Xin was closed, so he said: "Commander, lead you to see King Yan, please come with me." ”

Zhang Xin followed Zhang Yu into the Duanli Gate, passed through the front court, and came to the front of the back court, Zhang Yu turned back to Zhang Xin and said: "Commander, you wait here for the time being, I will go in and tell the princess, and come out immediately." Then he stepped into the temple.

Zhang Xin stood on the dan pier outside the hall and waited quietly, and faintly heard the princess in the dormitory saying: "I just left a brocade guard, and another one came to command, it's really annoying, I don't see it." ”

Who knew that Zhang Yu whispered a few words, and the princess stopped talking.

After a while, Zhang Yu walked out of the hall and said with a smile on his face: "Commander, please come with me." ”

Zhang Xin followed Zhang Yu into the east bedroom of the palace, and Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun was sitting on the edge of the bed to take care of King Yan, who was lying facing in, motionless.

Zhang Xin walked quickly to the side of the bed and kowtowed to Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoyun said lazily: "All command, don't dare to be, please get up quickly." Having said that, his body did not move, and his hands did not stretch out.

Zhang Xin had no choice but to stand up by himself and said: "The lower officials have visited several times, but King Yan has not seen any outsiders, I don't know how the prince is now?" ”

When Xu Miaoyun heard this, she wanted to cry and said: "The prince is seriously ill, day by day, I originally hoped that after the two sons came back, his condition would improve, but who knew that the second child who was not a weapon actually killed Yi Cheng and committed a capital crime." Just now, Jin Yiwei also entered the palace to search, and there was a conflict with the eunuchs in the house, and when the prince heard this, he was so angry that he fainted, and he has not woken up yet, I don't know if he can pass this pass. After that, the tears really flowed.

Zhang Xin glanced at the bed, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "King Yan has really lost a lot of weight, and he still thinks that the prince was wise and captured Nell back then." ”

Zhang Yu said strangely: "Did the commander ever serve under the prince?" ”

Zhang Xin shook his head and said: "I have been serving in the army in the northwest, and my father Zhang Zhenxing was originally the commander of Yongpingwei (now Lulong County, Hebei), and he once went out with King Yan on the expedition, and told me about the great achievements of King Yan. Emperor Taizu Gao also praised His Royal Highness King Yan, saying that those who clear the desert are the only one in the world. ”

Zhang Yu was pleasantly surprised: "You are the son of Zhang Xing?" No wonder you look familiar. I am friends with Zhang Xing, and I heard him say that he has a son who is in the army in the northwest, but it turned out to be you. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Xin's hand and said, "Let's go outside the hall to catch up, don't disturb King Yan's rest." ”

Zhang Xin said goodbye to Xu Miaoyun and walked out of the hall with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu led him to the north gate of the palace Guangzhi Gate downstairs in the wing, which is the palace guard's resting place, Zhang Yu ordered people to put cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks, wine and meat dishes, and Zhang Xin and the two of them to drink.

Zhang Yu said: "It's rare, it's rare, to meet the son of the old man here." Come, come, come, humble to you. As he spoke, he picked up his glass and drank it all.

Zhang Xin also drank the wine in the cup, and said sincerely: "What do you say, you and my father are friends, I want to call you uncle, today we don't care about official positions, only about seniority." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Then I'm welcome, the virtuous nephew is Guigeng this year?" ”

Zhang Xin replied respectfully: "The little nephew is eight in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year. ”

Zhang Yu sighed: "Uncle I am fifty and seven this year, and I am nineteen years old before I can be the commander of the fourth grade, and you are less than forty but you have already achieved the command of the second grade, do you know why?" "Little bookstore

Zhang Xin blushed and said: "This is all because of Emperor Xiaokang's promotion, and he has been favored by Jinshang, so that the little nephew has today." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "You are right, good ministers choose the lord and do things, and good birds choose trees to perch." Back then, I also served as the prefect of the Privy Council of the Yuan Dynasty, a member of the second grade, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and was majestic, but so what, I was not defeated by Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and I had to join our dynasty and start from scratch. With a clear conscience, I led the blue jade army to attack the old lord Tianyuan Emperor in the fishing sea, and won a complete victory, so that I got the background of Jinan Wei Deputy Qianhu. To this day, he is just a four-grade petty official who commands affairs on the left guard of Yanshan. Therefore, the most important thing to be a man is to be able to see the general trend clearly and know the times as a handsome man. ”

Zhang Xin listened to Zhang Yu's self-description of his life experience, and couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly toasted a glass of wine, and sighed: "Uncle is really a man in two lives." ”

Zhang Yu didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Virtuous nephew, what do you think of King Yan?" ”

Zhang Xin looked at Zhang Yu and said frankly: "Wise and martial, such as figures like Tang Taizong." ”

Zhang Yu's eyes stared at Zhang Xin and said, "How is it today?" ”

Zhang Xin thought for a while and said, "The Lord of Benevolence." ”

Zhang Yu asked again: "How are you down?" ”

Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Uncle is both talented and brave, knowledgeable and strategic, and very old-fashioned. ”

Zhang Yu asked again: "What about Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others?" ”

Zhang Xin smiled contemptuously and said: "The scholar misunderstands the country. ”

Zhang Yu asked again: "What is the topography of Beiping?" ”

Zhang Xin exclaimed: "The shape is a beautiful place. My father once said that the king's spirit was in Yan, and the Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties built their capitals here, and then swept the Central Plains, which can be said to occupy the most advantageous geographical situation. ”

Zhang Yu asked again: "What about Jingshi?" ”

Zhang Xin sighed and said, "It's hard to say." When Emperor Taizu Gao was alive, he felt that Jingshi was not suitable for the capital, so he sent Emperor Xiaokang to visit Xi'an to investigate whether the capital could be moved here. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xiaokang was infected with wind and cold on the road, and he couldn't afford to get sick, so he died, and the proposal to move the capital was abandoned. Since the Qin Dynasty dug the Qinhuai River, the king's anger has been vented, and those who built the capital here in successive dynasties did not live long. I hope that my blessings will not end there. ”

Zhang Yuyi patted the table and said: "Okay, that's the case, please think about it, there is the king of Shenwu, according to the shape of the place, with the wisdom and courage of the general, when the king of benevolence and softness, the capital of short life, what is the victory?" ”

Zhang Xin lowered his head and pondered for a long time and said: "Uncle, with a corner of the land to resist the whole country's soldiers, what is the victory or defeat?" ”

Zhang Yu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Soldiers are expensive, not much." Believe it or not, I can take the nine gates of Beiping with 800 people. ”

Zhang Xin gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle's arrogance has not diminished back then. ”

Zhang Yu poured a big bowl of wine, raised his head, drank it all, threw the bowl to the ground and said: "The cloud is from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, life is in the world, but in just a hundred years, you must do a vigorous career, worship the marquis, and live through the ages, so as not to walk in this world in vain, virtuous nephew, you will either do it with me today, or kill me." As he spoke, he pulled out the sword from his waist and placed it across his neck.

Zhang Xin was shocked, jumped up, grabbed Zhang Yu's wrist and said, "Uncle, I believe in you, I'll do it with you." ”

Zhang Yu then put the knife down and inserted it back into the sheath.

Zhang Xin hesitated: "But King Yan is seriously ill, how can he take on this great responsibility?" ”

Zhang Yu whispered: "King Yan is fine. ”

Zhang Xin let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's very good. I want to meet him and make it clear to his face. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Okay, you come with me." ”

After that, Zhang Yu led Zhang Xin back to the front dormitory, Zhang Yu went in, and after a long time, he came out, nodded to Zhang Xin, and said, "King Yan is awake, tell you to go in." ”

Zhang Xin stepped into the first bedroom in the east of the hall, and there was only King Yan in the room, still lying face in, motionless.

Zhang Xin walked quickly to the bedside, pounced, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The minister's mind has been told to Zhang Yu, what the minister said is from the bottom of his heart, every sentence is true, if the king is sick, everything is closed, if there is no disease, please tell the truth." ”

King Yan didn't look back when he heard this, and said vaguely: "This king is indeed terminally ill, and he will die soon." ”

Zhang Xin said with tears in his eyes: "Since His Royal Highness still has doubts and refuses to tell the truth, the minister will tell the truth first." The ministers were transferred to Beiping, just to wait for the opportunity to get rid of His Highness. If His Royal Highness has no other intentions, please tie your hands, return to Beijing with your ministers, and wait for the fate, and now you will be merciful, and you will not take Your Highness's life, and hand it over to the Zongren Mansion like the King of Zhou, and Your Highness will enjoy a peaceful life. If His Royal Highness has other opinions, please tell the truth, there is no need to hide it, so that Wei Chen can die and understand. ”

Zhang Xin's words were sincere, and when King Yan heard this, he suddenly turned over, jumped out of bed, bowed his head, and said, "The one who gave birth to my family is also a good father." ”
