Chapter 117: The Princess's Marriage
"Young Eunuch Zhang is deceiving me when I am young and I don't know about the court, right?" , Li Chengji put the teacup on the table and said dissatisfiedly: "Who doesn't know now? The north courtyard in the court is in decline. Even if Ma Ducheng has the heart to reset, someone must help him. ”。 With Li Shichang's current power, no one dares to contradict him.
Even those centrist court officials have to weigh one or two.
What's more, Mahmut Tebai and others are all Muslims. Most of the centrist court officials were Qarluqs in the army, Khitans who were related to the imperial family, and tribesmen such as Rhubarb Murowei, Xidi, Wuguli, and Pusuwan.
In terms of religious beliefs, it is very different from the Muslims.
Because of their special status, it is extremely unwise for them to fall to either side. Therefore, not helping each other is the choice to maximize benefits.
With such an analysis, Mahmutebai could not find a helper at all. Li Chengji also figured out this, and only then did he feel that Zhang Timing was fooling himself and was angry.
"People die for money, birds are busy for food! As long as Ma Ducheng can get enough money, someone will come forward to help. What's more, the affairs of the court are not as simple as they seem. In the Great Liao Dynasty, the number of Khitan and Han court officials was six or seven out of ten. And back to the court, only two or three out of ten.
However, Ma Ducheng has been in charge of the Northern Privy Council for many years, and he is rarely inferior to the Southern Privy Council. Among them, in addition to Ma Ducheng's wrist, there is another thing, which is indispensable! ”。
"Holy Grace?!" , Li Chengji immediately answered.
Zhang Timing nodded, and responded: "As long as the holy favor is still there, the reset is just around the corner." ”。“ But Mladili humiliated the princess and slandered the important ministers of the court. Although in Ma Ducheng's statement
Next, save your life for the time being. But in this way, Ma Ducheng has also lost his favor, right? ”。
Zhang Timing shook his head, as if he had made some kind of decision, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very important!" If the old man tells the truth, can the virtuous nephew give the old man a promise? ”。 In terms of title, it has shifted from calling him by his name to his nephew.
In terms of relationship, it has also become a lot closer.
Li Chengji didn't mind, and responded: "Uncle Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”。 Since Zhang Timing has taken the initiative to show goodwill, Li Chengji is not good at not knowing the number of courtesies. Anyway, with his seniority, he will not suffer a loss by calling Uncle Zhang.
Hearing this, Zhang Timing's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance. As if recalling a long past, he said loudly: "The old saint went on spring hunting, and Ma Ducheng stayed in Kyoto. Princess Hun Hu, enter the Ducheng Mansion at night. ”。
Speaking of this, his face unconsciously gloomy a little.
"Entering the Ducheng Mansion at night?" , Li Chengji muttered. As the princess of Hun Hu, there are only two possibilities for entering the Ducheng Mansion at night. One is with the will of God, and the other is to see Mlatili. Because the princess of Hun Hu had secretly promised Mla Dili that it was very likely. But given Mladili's exile to Darinkul, this is highly unlikely.
Well, there is only the first possibility.
It's just that what kind of will did it bring to make Princess Hun choose to be at night?
Thinking of this, Li Chengji instinctively felt that there was some kind of secret that was very important.
"It is said that the princess and Ma Ducheng talked behind closed doors, and it seems to be related to marriage." , Zhang Timing's tone was tinged with a faint coldness.
"Marriage?!" , Li Chengji was a little puzzled.
"There is one out of ten men in Mafu, and seven out of ten women. But there is no adult marriage, there is only one man, and only two women..."
After all, in today's sainthood, there is only one princess.
Extrapolating like this, Li Chengji's expression also became solemn. In the end, he stared at his eyes in disbelief and said, "Mladili! ”。
Zhang Timing gritted his teeth and responded: "If it wasn't for the person who told him about it, it was someone close to the Zhang Mansion." The old man must not be taken seriously! ”。
"Good abacus! What a calculation! Li Chengji was silent for a long time and sighed.
No wonder Zhang Timing is so sure about the reinstatement of Ma Hemut. It turned out that among them, there was also the relationship between Princess Hun and the princess. As long as Mladili took the princess Huhu, then the Holy Lord and Mahmut became the sons and daughters.
The reset is a matter of course.
At that time, his father was willing to hinder it, and because of the happy event of the princess's marriage, it was not easy to touch his brows.
And judging from the fact that Mahmut Worship was demoted to the position of the capital of the Northern Courtyard, the Holy Saint still has feelings of concern for Mahmut Worship. For the crimes committed by Mladili were enough to send the whole family into exile. But in the end, the main culpability lies with Mladili alone.
Even his life was saved.
Mahmut Tybai, also remained in the North Privy Council.
Therefore, the possibility of Princess Hun entering the Ducheng Mansion at night to discuss marriage is very great. This also means that the Holy One's anger against Mahmut worship has almost subsided.
Li Chengji knew that Princess Hun Hu must have played a big role in this matter. Because during the autumn hunt in the past, Princess Hun deliberately cooperated with Mlatili and deliberately framed herself.
Now, in order to exonerate Mladili, he finally came up with such a method that kills two birds with one stone. It not only saved Mladili, but also helped Mahmutebai to reinstate.
For Li Chengji, no matter who came up with this plan, it would be extremely unfavorable to his father.
Zhang Timing looked at Li Chengji's reaction, his face was unprecedentedly ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Wu'er listened to the instigation of that thief that day, murdered the virtuous nephew, and bullied the king. The exile of Darinkur is also deserved. But now, the leader of the thieves wants to marry the princess and clear his name. No matter how old man is, he can't swallow this breath! ”。
In fact, after Zhang Timing learned about this incident, he also knocked on the side and asked Ma Hemut to help pardon Zhang Xinglu's crimes after being reinstated. But later, an informant came to report that Mahmut Tebai actually blamed Zhang Xinglu for all the crimes in the secret fold of presenting the saint. And let Princess Hun hand it over on her behalf.
So after coming to Puhua, he promised to help deal with Gurion on the one hand. On the other hand, Sadr Jahan, the governor of Puhua, was allowed to divide the property of Gurion. It's using his own way to express his dissatisfaction.
Thinking about Zhang Timing's words, Li Chengji also knew what he wanted. He promised: "Uncle Zhang! The boy will tell his father the truth about today's events. If it is true, the matter of Bofu must be handled by my father. ”。 Bo Fu is the character of Zhang Xinglu, and Li Chengji is the same age as him, so he uses the call of his peers to call his character.
Zhang Timing listened and was immediately grateful.
When the two came out, Zhang Zhiqin, Li Dawei and others, who were guarding the door, were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths together. Because not long ago, the two were still cold to each other, and they didn't want to see each other. How did he enter the study, he had an uncle and a virtuous nephew, and the relationship was extremely harmonious.
