Although there were thieves in the family, Zhang Shou was naturally satisfied with the blackmail from the emperor to a good hall and more than 200 children in it as compensation. And Zhu Ying rushed back from Huairou Huangzhuang in a hurry, and when she complained to the emperor, it happened that Zhang Shou was there, it was really a happy event and she was in good spirits, and when she retired and left, she was really happy.

So, the Son of Heaven, who had only been furious before, saw the quasi-young couple leave side by side in pairs, and he couldn't help but say sourly: "You say, is it possible for these two people to misunderstand each other?" ”

Hua Qi had already comprehended the emperor's evil taste at this time, but he took a step back slightly, and then disappeared silently on tiptoe. And Chu Kuan also didn't want to get involved in the emperor's very funny idea, but he didn't have the good fortune to run away in time like Hua Qi, because the emperor looked at him directly.

So, the father-in-law of Chu, who had just been scolded by the emperor by pointing his nose before, and in Zhang Shou's opinion, he was almost not pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded, but at this time, he said bluntly: "The emperor forgives the sin, Master Zhang turned around so desperately before, which temporarily calmed the emperor's thunderous anger, no matter what point of view, it is impossible for the slave and maid to fall into the ground." ”

"You're embarrassed to say it!" Originally, the emperor was just joking, but at this time, Chu Kuan was so outspoken, he couldn't help but say angrily, "Also, put away the word slave and maid!" I asked you to serve San Lang's pen and ink in Ciqing Palace, but that was to let you be a mentor and friend who could admonish him, and I didn't let you push those sincerely fearful disciples and grandchildren out of the door! Alright, you go down! ”

The third prince looked at him in confusion beside him, seeing that Chu Kuan retreated according to his words, but his father's face was even darker, he hesitated for a long time, thinking that his father's topic about Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying just now could not be accepted, even so, it is better to continue to talk about Chu Kuan. So, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Father, ...... Father-in-law Chu?"

"Don't say anything. Whether you, or anyone else, can you know him better than I do? The emperor snorted in annoyance, and finally said lightly, "San Lang, the emperor is alone, because too many people will rely on your favor for power, and few people can remain unchanged." I was lucky to meet a cousin Zhu Jing who has always been the same as before, and ......"

"And there's Chu Kuan."

Although annoyed, the emperor still spit out such a name. Seeing that the third prince rarely showed an expression of listening to the story with great interest, but when he looked carefully, the child panicked and raised a serious face, and he smiled: "Isn't it strange why I got angry as soon as I came in just now?" Actually, I heard what Chu Kuan said to Zhang Shou......"

When the emperor was educating the crown prince, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying also walked out of Ciqing Palace side by side. Although it has not yet reached the point where it is as bad as every three autumns, such a series of things happened last night, even if they were all unharmed, it is impossible for their mood to be without ups and downs. Therefore, as the two of them walked, Zhu Ying couldn't help but gently tug on Zhang Shou's sleeve.

"When I heard that there were rioters coming over last night, I thought at that moment, how to fight my way out of the encirclement, how to break through the heavy interceptions on the road and rush back to the capital, will I rush to you with blood and scare you...... In the end, I was taken aback by the poor guys. ”

I thought it would be a difficult battle, but it turned out that the eldest lady led a group of heavily armed elite soldiers to face a group of barefoot peasants shouting slogans...... Moreover, the five scumbags who shouted the slogan were killed as soon as possible, and the rest of the people hurriedly cried and asked for surrender after being questioned by the drink. In the case of Zhang Shou himself, he also felt that he would doubt his life after being stunned.

But at this moment, he knew that Zhu Ying didn't need to comment on last night's incident, so he opened his mouth with a smile after listening to it.

"I told my mother before that you were born a lucky girl, and this luck will be with you forever. That's why I told the emperor before you came, if I bring someone to pick you up, it will cause you trouble. ”

Only then did Zhu Ying remember that when she had just met the emperor, she quickly said the word "add to the chaos" for a while. She was a little embarrassed, so she simply grabbed Zhang Shou's hand, and then snorted angrily.

"The emperor just didn't have a good heart, let you go to Huairou to pick me up, first, maybe you plan to further lure the enemy, and second, maybe you have other plans...... Anyway, if you refuse, I'll come back by myself, that's the best! Ah Shou, you are very bold, but you are a beautiful jade, there is no need to touch the stone. As long as it's a place with the slightest risk, I don't want you to go. ”

"Do you know that the eldest brother drove you to Cangzhou that time...... I was going crazy, that's why I went to Cangzhou later! ”

Zhang Shou thought that Zhu Ying later chased him to Cangzhou, and he couldn't help laughing.

Although this is in the palace, not on the street where people come and go, I have to say that Zhu Ying's action is still bold. But since she didn't care, he didn't care about all kinds of eyes.

And the two tacitly agreed that neither of them would talk about the eldest prince - let alone whether the eldest prince was the mastermind of this ridiculous farce. Anyway, in their minds, the abolition queen is dead, and the second prince has been "dead" when his life and death are uncertain, so these things are not done by the eldest prince, but also by the eldest prince...... After all, the rebels even shouted slogans like this.

As for the third prince, the crown prince and the fourth prince, as well as the mother concubine and mother family behind the two, they definitely don't have this strength. And the so-called princelings, that has not yet taken shape.

The emperor, who is more emotional than rational most of the time, obviously does not secretly arrange the plan to completely uproot his former wife and son - if this kind of drama is done by the emperor, it is called a joke.

And Zhang Shou's heart vaguely had such a thought because of today's events.

He vaguely felt that the mother and son should indeed not be completely innocent, for example, the eldest prince, it must have been with a certain squire for a long time, so after discovering that the eldest prince had lost power, they would still take risks, and only after the defeat did they commit suicide in fear of being held accountable. However, it seems that there are also people who are deliberately pushing the mother and son to the point of no return.

But what does this concern him? The three mothers and sons after the abolition were not his relatives and friends, and he was guilty of complaining about them because of a little suspicion? Shouldn't that be the hard work of the ministers who praised the establishment of the chief of the army back then?

So he recommended Confucius University, on the surface, it was to give people a step down, and it was very "kind" to let people show their hearts to the prince with practical actions, but in fact, he was giving people a trick - didn't you say that it was a public heart to support the establishment of the eldest son? In that case, then you should continue to show the selflessness of the Grand Duke and solve the trouble of the Great Prince!

Since the emperor has made up his mind, the next move is naturally very fast, when he came out of the Ciqing Palace where the three princes lived and studied, he ordered someone to summon Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin, and when he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he casually looked through a few notes sent by the cabinet, and before he even felt how much time had passed, Zhang Chuan had already arrived.

The Zhang family of the Duke of Qin has been a civil official since the previous generation of Zhang Yun, and Zhang Chuan is also a good writer, although he is a noble in the eyes of outsiders, but the favor does not seem to be better than the rest of the families, and even among the several marquis and earls, there are people who are more favored than the Zhang family's father and son.

But since Zhang Chuan became the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, the meaning is very different. Some people even compare it with Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing as the secretary of the military department.

Therefore, when Zhang Chuan hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace, and came out of the Qianqing Palace and went to the Kong family non-stop, this naturally attracted a lot of attention.

And Master Kong Jiu didn't dare to stay in Taichang Temple for a moment after the early dynasty, and hurried home to check on the situation of Confucius University Scholar - of course, he was more uneasy because Zhang Shou mentioned the matter of Jiang Zhuoer in the early dynasty, knowing that his cousin was the only life-saving straw. So, when he heard that Zhang Chuan had suddenly come to visit the patient, his sister-in-law Gu sent his second son to greet him, he couldn't help but be terrified.

He really couldn't help but be afraid, although the emperor asked Zhu Tingfang to go to Zhang Yuan to pick up the Jiang Zhuo'er that Zhang Shou said, but after the events of the first two days, who still doesn't know that Zhang Chuan, the Shuntian Mansion Yin, and Zhu Tingfang are one and the same at all? The previous trend of tightening the outside and loosening the inside is to fish out those with ill intentions.

Maybe Zhu Tingfang had already asked something from Jiang Zhuo'er's mouth, and informed Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin, and now Zhang Chuan came to ask for this matter...... Maybe it's for him!

Thinking that after he came back, he didn't know how many words he said, Zhu Tingfang's words to Zhang Shou were all relayed to Confucius University, but this cousin never ignored him as soon as he entered the door, and Master Kong Jiu simply turned his heart sideways at this time, opened the skylight and said bright words.

"Big brother, I know that you are annoyed that I misjudged the situation this time, which provoked Zhu Tingfang's evil star, but I really didn't mean to! I did see that Ah Liu next to Zhang Shou was buying tonic medicine in a medicine store, naming and asking for the best, and even the treasure of the town store, the most expensive old ginseng, was also bought. You must know that this person is the most stingy, and even lends money to other girls to buy slingshots! ”

"Besides, my nephew will still be dizzy and quietly transport the furniture out, let alone me? Big brother, you are an official in the capital, have you asked your sister-in-law about her daily expenses? It is said that it is not easy to live in the capital, and you are a cabinet scholar, and you still can't make ends meet, let alone me? But you ask your sister-in-law, every year I save money, and under the pretext of three festivals and two birthdays, how much do you subsidize your eldest brother? ”

Gu Shi, who was waiting in front of the bed, would have thought that Master Kong Jiu would say it so explicitly, seeing that Master Kong looked at him in surprise and anger, as if asking if it was the case, even if she wanted to deny it, but there was a list of gifts that could be accepted, which was really undeniable.

Therefore, she also simply said honestly: "Master, the capital has a lot of expenses, and the clan is trying its best to make up for it, but you have to be a clean official, and you are unwilling to accept the filial piety and etiquette of foreign officials, and all kinds of human contacts need money, and our family's industry is in our hometown, so it is indeed beyond our means." ”

She glanced at Master Kong Jiu, thinking that she was still receiving the second son of Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin, outside at this time, and thinking that the eldest son was ordered by her to reflect in the room after Zhu Tingfang left, she only felt irritable in her heart, and naturally the more she looked at Master Kong Jiu, the more unpleasant she became. If people didn't listen to the wind and rain, where would there be all these troubles today?

At that moment, she laughed and said: "The Ninth Master does give a lot of gifts every year, about two or three thousand a year, and it is indeed to subsidize some family expenses, but he does a lot of things in the name of the master!" ”

Confucius was almost angry with his cousin and his wife. How could he have thought that his diet was quite simple, and his sons and daughters-in-law were not extravagant, but as a result, the family was in such a situation!

"Yes, that's great!" Scholar Confucius only felt as if there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and his head was swollen for a while, and then he couldn't help but pound the bed board heavily, and shouted angrily, "Do you think that my scholar is very smooth? I've been worrying all day long, but you're carrying me behind my back! You have to force me to go to the book and beg for bones, are you willing? ”

As soon as these words came out, Master Kong Jiu and the Gu family were all startled. Not to mention them, even the Kong clan can't afford the huge blow of the resignation of the Confucian scholar in his prime!

Master Kong Jiu was very sure that once he knew that this incident was caused by him, the clan might expel him. And Gu is also very sure that without the big mountain of her husband, just by the stupid thing that her eldest son did, she would be laughed at by countless people - and it was not a joke behind her back, it was a face-to-face joke!

So, just now, the uncle and sister-in-law who were still a little needle-tip to Mai Mang hurriedly persuaded each other, but just when Confucius University was relieved of his heart, a servant's cautious voice came from outside; "Madam, the second young master sent someone to report that Qin Guogong didn't actually come to visit the old man who was sick today and didn't go to the court today, but by order, and he brought people in."

At this moment, the three masters in the room were stunned at the same time, and immediately after, Gu and Kong Jiu were unprecedentedly nervous. On the contrary, it was the Confucius scholar who regained his composure in a moment.

"Since the emperor sent someone to visit the patient, then please come in, I just didn't sleep well all night, and I was a little dizzy in the morning."

Gu wanted to say something, but was stopped by the stern eyes of Confucius Scholar. And Master Kong Jiu knew that even if he didn't have the word "order", his nephew who went out to receive him could only delay at most, and it was impossible for him to have the courage to turn Qin Guogong away.

At the critical moment, he could only smile and say: "Big brother, you have always been in good health, and that little illness in the morning is really nothing." It doesn't matter if you have any dissatisfaction with me, but don't say that terrible thing in front of Qin Guogong. Who doesn't know, our Kong family has always been supported by you that day! After so many years, the one who can still be comfortable in the capital after resigning is Lu Juan! ”

"Don't mention that guy!" was told the most taboo name in his heart, and the Confucius scholar suddenly changed color. He was most taboo to let people know that Lu Juan was not exactly Jiang Ge's old person, but had a connection with him. Lu Juan was silent, which naturally made him breathe a sigh of relief, so he always turned a blind eye to what the Lu family's father and son did.

Just when he was about to warn him two more words, Zhang Chuan's voice came from outside: "Second Prince Kong, listening to this, Ling Zun doesn't seem to be sick?" ”
