Chapter 109: Say Something
Zhang Ning wanted to say it, because I was a traverser. I know that your cousin Zhu Qizhen has a legendary life that is not inferior to your ancestor Zhu Chongba in the original historical trajectory, and I also know that he has the intention of conquering Warat. In addition, with the blessing of Yu Pei's good luck, Zhu Qizhen revealed the topic, and he had time to conceive and write the topic in advance.
If I haven't been admitted yet, won't I live two lives in vain?
Of course, none of this can be said. Countless thoughts swirled through his mind, and finally, he said: "It's not that other people's papers are bad, but that they are deceived by reality and misjudge the situation, thinking that Your Majesty will always accept the tribute from Warat. You should know that only my scroll proposes to conquer Warat. ”
After the list was released, the children of the nobles who participated in the school review shouted that Zhang Fu was favoritism and demanded that Zhang Ning's examination qualification be cancelled.
So everyone understood that the emperor had the intention of conquering Warat, and Zhang Ning took advantage of the idea.
He speculated on the holy will, and it was very much in line with the holy will, how could he not be on the list?
These things, when Zhang Ning was cheeky and entangled, Youyou had already sent someone to find out clearly, and asked Zhang Ning to say it again tonight, but seeing that Zhang Ning felt embarrassed not to say anything, he just did what he liked.
Zhang Ning was on duty in the palace, and he came over in the name of meeting the emperor, and said a lot of things, but most of them were joking and gossiping. There are many eyes and ears in the palace, is it a place to speak? I can only say some irrelevant gossip.
Even so, Youyou was still impressed by Zhang Ning's humor, so that he secretly had feelings for him. It is precisely because of the secret feelings that someone will be sent to investigate. After a check, it was found that Zhang Ning was similar to those noble sons who had no chance to attack the lord, there was no big evil, and he was not a good child.
Children like them are good people if they don't deliberately bully people.
Yoyo's brothers are much more foolish than him. In contrast, Zhang Ning has already been calculated very well, plus he passed the review with his own ability and found a future, and it took more than two months to kill Wang Zhen and become a celebrity in front of the emperor. These are enough to make any girl's family tempted.
Well, he is also very handsome, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he looks better than Pan An Song Yu.
In Youyou's opinion, there are many relatives of the emperor in the capital, the children of the nobles, and the children of the eunuchs, but there are not many who are more prominent than Zhang Ning, no, almost none.
Such a person is very fond of her, and he did not hesitate to get involved with the Queen Mother for this reason, and this is only a three-year appointment. Where can I find a man like him who is affectionate and righteous?
She said: "Father's refusal to marry, is Ling Zun very angry?" "So as soon as Yang Shiqi mentioned his relatives, your father agreed, no matter what kind of person Yang Rong'er is.
Zhang Ning sighed and said: "My father is far away in Datong, and many things are beyond the reach of the whip, even if our father and son exchange letters, it is also inconvenient, otherwise it would not be like this." ”
In fact, even if Daniel Zhang knew that he refused Yang Shiqi's personal proposal, when he saw Yang Shiqi's handwritten letter, he would definitely agree without thinking about it. can marry the first assistant, look at the court, unless it is a political enemy, otherwise who will refuse?
Zhang Ning said this, but helped Daniel Zhang cover it up.
Youyou felt the same way, and said: "No, my father is far away in the fiefdom, and Ling Zun went to the letter to propose relatives, so there are these things." If I had been with my father, I would never have been like this. ”
The two looked at each other speechless for a while, but it was okay, Zhang Ning couldn't help but be depressed, could it be that the two lives were fated to be inseparable?
"Can you ask Your Majesty for a marriage?" Said leisurely, his tone was very unconfident.
Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "It is estimated that Your Majesty will not make the Empress Dowager angry again." ”
The Empress Dowager is still so stubborn lying on the bed, if she gets angry again, it is very likely to drive the crane west. As long as she is gone, there is no obstacle between the two. Zhang Ning has no such thoughts, not only for Youyou, but also for him to have a bottom line as a man.
If he really does this, he will definitely feel guilty when he faces Youyou and Zhu Qizhen in the future, one is his career and the other is his family, he has not done well in both, how can he live his life?
Youyou said: "It would be nice if I could make the imperial grandmother change her mind." ”
Zhang Ningqiang smiled: "You should believe that I am." ”
"I believe in you." There is a little bit of starlight in your eyes, which is extremely bright.
Zhang Ning held her hand again.
The two of them clasped their fingers, sat opposite each other for a long time, and got up leisurely to say goodbye.
When sending her out, Zhang Ning whispered: "What do you like to eat, I'll bring it to you tomorrow night." ”
Youyou was born in the palace, what do you want, how do you care about a bite of food. But when Zhang Ning said this, he still smiled sweetly and said, "Let's drop crispy snails." ”
"You also have a sweet tooth?" Zhang Ning said happily. He also likes to eat crispy snails.
"You too?" Yoyo is also pleasantly surprised. Crispy snails are a popular dim sum in Beijing, almost no one doesn't like it, she just casually said a more popular one, but she didn't expect that the real common hobby between the two is sweets.
Zhang Ning nodded with a smile and said, "It's a shame that we have been chatting in the palace for so many days, and we haven't mentioned this once." ”
Yoyo said angrily: "Who told you this." "That's when we live together, right?
Zhang Ning smiled, helped her into the carriage, and told the coachman to drive. watched her carriage leave the house, disappear into the night, and stood for more than a dozen breaths before turning around and entering the house.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, a spy came over and whispered: "My lord, the envoy of Warat has closed the city gate and entered the city, and lived in the Honglu Temple, a total of two thousand and one people. Because there were too many people, the temple could not live, and they refused to give in, so they made a fuss, and they did not settle down until this time. ”
In the past, although there were many messengers, but all the way, some people left all the way, and there were not so many people to the capital, and there were only about 1,000 people at most who lived in the temple, although the officials of the temple were numb, but they still tried their best to let them live, and now there are twice as many people as possible, but it is really difficult for them.
The spies monitored the whole process until they turned off the lights, and then came to report it.
Zhang Ning said: "Continue to monitor." ”
"Do you want to pick some people to poison their food?"
As long as you don't put them all down, you should be fine.
"No, you don't." Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "No matter which unlucky guy you pick, it will affect the servants of Yuhong Temple." "As long as it's food from the temple, you can't move it.
The agent stepped back.
Zhang Ning returned to the courtyard, patted his hands lightly, and a thin figure in the darkness flashed out and silently saluted Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning said: "You go to check the Empress Dowager's face-to-face or yin-yang technique." ”
The thin figure is one of Zhang Ning's henchmen, usually hiding in the shadows, and also has the responsibility to protect Zhang Ning. Hearing Zhang Ning's instructions, he was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord wants to check this?" ”
At the age of sixteen, the Empress Dowager married Renzong Zhu Gaochi, who was still the son of King Yan at the time, and has been living in seclusion since then.
Zhang Ning said: "Go quickly, report in three days." ”
"Yes." The agent didn't dare to say anything more, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
