At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman squeezed in from outside the crowd, threw herself on King Yan, cried loudly, shook King Yan's shoulders vigorously while crying, and said, "King Yan, wake up, wake up." ”

Zhang Shixing fixed his eyes and saw that this person was Xu Miaoyun, the princess of Yan, so he turned to the side and hid behind the crowd to watch the development of the situation.

At this time, someone in the crowd gave Princess Yan an idea: "King Yan is afraid that he is obsessed with phlegm and loses his mind, so try to pour some dung juice on him?" ”

When Xu Miaoyun heard this, her face was full of tears, she raised her head, and said to the people around her: "Fathers and fellow villagers, for the sake of King Yan's daily accumulation of virtue and good deeds, you should quickly find some dung juice to save him." ”

After a while, there were really some warm-hearted people who found a bowl of dung juice out of nowhere and handed it to Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoyun poured the bowl of dung juice into most of the bowl to Yan Wang Zhu Di, after Yan Wang drank it, he sat up, vomited again and again, and vomited out the wine and meat he had eaten before, until he vomited all over his body, and the smell was unbearable, and the onlookers covered their noses and dodged.

King Yan sat on the ground, panting, his eyes glazed, and his expression was aggrieved. Xu Miaoyun slapped him twice and asked, "King Yan, do you recognize me?" ”

King Yan nodded weakly, looked around blankly, and said, "Why is this king here?" ”

Xu Miaoyun cried with joy and said, "King Yan, you finally woke up, open a person." As soon as the words fell, a team of palace guards squeezed into the crowd, carrying two pairs of shoulders, came to the front of King Yan, and quickly helped him to the front of a shoulder, Xu Miaoyun sat on the other side, and there were guards in front of the road, pushing and shoving the crowd, while shouting: "The prince is here, and the idlers dodge." ”

Everyone hurriedly dodged aside, and the palace guards carried the two shoulders and trotted all the way into the Zunyi Gate.

Zhang Shixing saw all this in his eyes, and was half-convinced, although he didn't read much, he also knew the story of Sun Bin pretending to be crazy to deceive Pang Juan. After he and Niu Er returned to the small building, they changed into official clothes and decided to go to the palace to find out.

Niu Er smiled and said: "No need, I have already bought off Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace, if you don't believe it, you can call him out to ask what happened." ”

Zhang Shixing patted Niu Er on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, King Yan is peaceful, count your first merit, I will definitely promote you to a thousand households." ”

Niu Er was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Shixing: "Thank you Tongzhi for cultivation, Niu Fu is grateful." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly helped him up and said, "Why should you and my brother be polite, you call that Ge Cheng back." ”

Niu Er agreed, turned around and went downstairs.

About a stick of incense passed, only to hear the sound of the stairs, Niu Er took a person upstairs, Zhang Shixing fixed his eyes, the person who came was in his thirties, white skin, beard, two eyes flickering, recognized it was Shi Gecheng, the head of the Yanwang Mansion.

Na Ge Cheng walked up to Zhang Shixing, bowed down and saluted: "I have seen Zhang Tongzhi in my humble position. ”

Zhang Shixing owed, and the big lama sat on the Taishi chair and did not get up to return the salute, nor did he give up his seat, and asked: "Ge Changshi, is King Yan really sick or fake?" ”

Ge Cheng straightened up and thought for a while: "It's hard to say. When King Yan returned from hunting more than ten days ago, he fell ill and kept shouting fever. In recent days, he broke out of the palace every once in a while, and went crazy and drunk in the West Market. ”

Zhang Shixing glanced at Niu Er, Niu Er pushed Ge Cheng, and said: "Ge Changshi, you are an official of the imperial court, not an official of King Yan. ”

Ge Cheng's face changed, he raised his head and thought for a while, and said, "I think that King Yan is fine, and the public should not be slack." ”

Zhang Shixing nodded and said: "This is very good, you step back for the time being, report something immediately, and this official will definitely play the court to reward you." ”

Ge Cheng bowed again, turned around and went downstairs.

Zhang Shixing opened the window widely, and saw Ge Cheng walking through the street, not directly entering the Zunyi Gate, but detouring to the north of the main gate Duanli Gate back to the palace.

Zhang Shixing smiled at Niu Er and said: "This Ge Cheng is cautious, I'm afraid that it was only after your combination of soft and hard that he agreed to be our internal response." ”

Niu Er scratched his scalp embarrassedly and said: "Tongzhi is really like a god, and there are still some means to deal with this kind of person." ”

Zhang Shixing said with a worried face: "If what he said is true, then why is King Yan pretending to be sick?" ”

Niu Er also pondered for a while and said, "Could it be that he made us relax our vigilance and prepare to make trouble?" ”

Zhang Shixing shook his head and said: "Unlikely, there are less than 1,000 guards in his hands, and there are 30,000 imperial court soldiers and horses in Beiping City, and the Song Governor has stationed 50,000 troops in Kaipingwei. What's more, his two princes are both in Beijing, if he raises an army, doesn't he want his son's life? Speaking of this, Zhang Shixing's eyes lit up, knocked his head, and scolded: "Stupid." ”

Niu Er hurriedly asked, "Tongzhi, have you thought of anything?" ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly walked downstairs, and said to Niu Er as he walked: "You are here to watch, I'll go to the palace to find out." ”

After Zhang Shi walked downstairs, he ordered someone to buy some gifts, took a few captains to ride around the front of the Duanli Gate, kicked off the saddle and dismounted, ordered someone to hand over the famous thorn, and the guards went to Tongyu, and after a while, Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace, came out to greet him, and the two sides clasped their fists and saluted, Zhang Shixing pretended not to know, and asked: "The lower official escorted the King of Zhongning to Kaiping Wei and returned, and was about to return to Beijing, and heard that King Yan was seriously ill and came to visit." "59 Stacks

Ge Cheng said expressionlessly: "Thank you Zhang Tongzhi for your concern, King Yan is indeed seriously ill and does not see outsiders." Zhang Tongzhi, please go back. ”

Zhang Shixing said angrily: "King Yan is seriously ill, if I don't go inside to visit, I will return to Beijing in the future, and the emperor will ask how I answer, and I hope that Changshi will understand." ”

Ge Cheng pondered for a long time and said, "In this case, please ask Zhang Tongzhi to come with me." ”

Ge Cheng ordered the servant to receive a gift, and took Zhang Shixing to the harem of the palace, without saying a word along the way.

When he came to the door of the former dormitory, Ge Cheng ordered the eunuch to go in and say that Jinyi Wei and Zhang Shixing came to visit King Yan. After a while, the princess's will came from inside, saying that Zhang Tongzhi was invited.

Ge Cheng accompanied Zhang Shixing into the dormitory, and came to the bedroom on the right, only to see that Yan Wang was bedridden, Xu Miaoyun was sitting on the edge of the bed to feed him medicine, and his sister Xu Miaojin wiped his sweat.

Zhang Shi walked to the side of the bed, only to see that King Yan's face was like gold paper, his eyes were closed, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were rolling down, he hurriedly asked Xu Miaoyun: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how can King Yan be so sick?" ”

Xu Miaoyun lowered her head and wept and said: "That day, King Yan went out of the city to hunt, but who knew that suddenly it rained heavily, drenching him all over, and when he returned to the palace, he couldn't afford to be sick, and he was hot and cold. After seeing it, the imperial doctor said that it was the prince who was infected with malaria, and prescribed a few decoctions, but it was not good, sometimes sober, sometimes confused, and I was afraid that the future was numbered. ”

Zhang Shixing pretended to be surprised and said: "Then the princess has to prepare early, when will the prince and the king of Gaoyang County rush back?" ”

Xu Miaoyun said: "I have ordered Shi Gecheng to play, and ask the imperial court to allow the two children to return to the domain as soon as possible." ”

Xu Miaojin asked Zhang Shixing on the side: "I'm afraid that the imperial court will not let the two nephews come back, Zhang Tongzhi, as an envoy, will say a few more kind words in front of the emperor after returning to Beijing." ”

Xu Miaoyun raised her eyes and glanced at her sister, Xu Miaojin hurriedly lowered her head and stopped talking.

Zhang Shixing understood eight or nine points in his heart, and deliberately said: "King Yan is seriously ill, why doesn't the imperial court allow the prince's brothers to return to the domain?" Today, if you rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, there will never be such a thing. If you are lowly and you are going to make an excerpt, please return quickly. ”

Xu Miaoyun was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "Isn't Zhang Tongzhi going south immediately?" ”

Zhang Shixing said deliberately: "King Yan is now the chief of the emperor's uncle, he is so sick, how can I return to Beijing with peace of mind, even if I go back, in case there are three long and two short, the emperor will definitely send me again." Then it's better for me to stay in Beiping, and wait for King Yan to decide, and then I will return to Beijing, so as not to travel thousands of miles. ”

Xu Miaoyun smiled embarrassedly, got up and gave a blessing, and said, "Zhang Tongzhi has a heart, and I thank you here on behalf of the prince." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, exchanged a few more greetings, and said goodbye to Princess Yan's sisters, Changshi Ge Cheng sent him out of the palace, Zhang Shixing said goodbye while ordering in a low voice: "Ge Changshi, if there is any movement in the palace, please notify in time." ”

Ge Cheng still looked expressionless, and said loudly: "Please rest assured Zhang Tongzhi, there is something in the palace, and the humble position must be communicated in time." ”

Only then did Zhang Shixing get on the horse and return to the Yamen of the Beiping Dusi. Zhang Xin, the commander of the capital of Beiping, arranged their Jinyiwei and his party in the backyard, opening the door alone, which was secluded and convenient.

Zhang Shixing returned to the house, took out a poster, thought about it for a while, and said to the emperor: "The minister Jinyi Wei and the same knowledge Zhang Shixing hereby revealed: for the serious illness of King Yan, the minister entered the palace on April 29 to investigate, and his person was indeed seriously ill, and his body was hot and cold, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it as malaria. Ranchen found out from the mouth of Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace, that King Yan was unharmed. The minister also learned that Princess Yan was playing the court and wanted to return her son to the domain. The minister thought that no matter whether King Yan's illness was true or false, he should not let his son return to the domain, so that he would not dare to move. Listen to the music and wait for the edict. On April 29 of the first year of Jianwen, Chen Jinyi Wei knew Zhang Shixing. ”

After the writing was completed, the seal was sealed, and Zhang Shixing ordered his lieutenants to personally hold this sticker and return to the Beijing division with an 800-mile fast horse.

In this way, a few days later, King Yan's request for his son to return to the vassal and Zhang Shixing's unfavorable release were placed on the imperial case of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen ran out of ideas for a while, and summoned Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to discuss countermeasures as usual.

Qi Tai nodded after reading the folds and the post: "What Zhang Tongzhi said is very true, the imperial court cannot release the second son of King Yan, and he must be allowed to have some scruples, so that he can control people and not be controlled by others." ”

Huang Zicheng disagreed: "The art of war has clouds: the real is false, the virtual is real, the virtual is real, the virtual is real, and the gods and ghosts are unpredictable." If he is not sent back, he will show that he has no doubts, but he can attack and take it. ”

Qi Tai reprimanded: "In the scholar's opinion, this move is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, King Yan has no worries, and he will rebel within a few months." ”

Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "That's not right, the imperial court is worried about the namelessness of the division of the domain, if the king of Yan dares to raise troops, there is Zhang Xin in Beiping Mansion, Song Zhong outside, 100,000 soldiers, and the guards of Yanwang Mansion are only 800, and they are not ready to be captured." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "What Qing said is reasonable. ”

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must not. ”

Zhu Yunwen sighed and said: "The two Qing families are my right-hand men, why do they often have different opinions, which makes me in a dilemma, and it is difficult to decide. ”

Huang Zicheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are gentlemen and not parties. ”

Zhu Yunwen said helplessly: "You guys stand aside for the time being, let me think about it." ”
