Chapter 182: King Lianzhong Sanyuan Participates in Politics
"The body is relaxed, the waist is straight, and the legs are not clamped too tightly...... Li Zhang rode on the horse, and Huyan Shouxin next to him taught him the key points of horse riding, since the last time he returned to the capital, Li Zhang decided to learn cavalry, and it happened that Huyan Shouxin also had horses here, and their family was known as a horse heirloom, so Li Zhang asked the other party to teach him to ride a horse.
In his previous life, horseback riding was an aristocratic sport, and of course Li Zhang, a small person from the bottom of the family, had not been in contact with it, so he had lived for two lifetimes, and now it was the first time to ride a horse, and he was also very nervous at this time, especially after being helped on the horse by Huyan Shouxin, he was also tense and did not dare to move.
Hu Yan Shouxin picked the most docile jujube red horse for Li Zhang, even if Li Zhang's legs were very uncomfortable, but he didn't run around, but walked around the school yard with small steps, and slowly Li Zhang relaxed, and at the same time tried to let himself follow Hu Yan's words to do it, and the result turned out to be really effective, which made him feel the fun of horseback riding.
"Can I run?" Li Zhang slowly felt that he had adapted to horseback riding, and immediately turned his head to Huyan Shouxin next to him and asked, costume films in his previous life often saw scenes of the male protagonist riding a horse and galloping, and Li Zhang now wants to give it a try.
"Don't! Don't, you've just learned it now, it's better to let the horse walk slowly, wait for two days to get used to it, and then it's not too late to let the horse trot! Huyan Shouxin heard this and immediately stopped Li Zhangdao, novices are like this, just get on the horse and feel as if they have learned, but in fact it is still far away, if the horse really runs, Li Zhang will fall off the horse nine out of nine.
Li Zhang also knew that he was a little too anxious, and he smiled at the moment to continue to familiarize himself with the feeling of riding a horse, in fact, riding a horse is the same as riding a bicycle, that is, it requires skill and the body to adapt to this feeling, so Li Zhang will take at least a few days to slowly get used to it.
However, Li Zhang is not in a hurry, anyway, he has nothing to do in the Huangzhuang now, and practicing horseback riding every day is just enough to kill time, and Hu Yan Shouxin saw that Li Zhang had learned well, and he also praised a few words at the moment, and then he was ready to go back to the barracks to busy his business, after all, he is now leading an army alone, and his affairs are also very busy.
However, when Li Zhang was riding a horse in the school yard with great interest, he suddenly saw someone walking in from the gate of Huangzhuang not far away, he didn't care, but Hu Yan Shouxin immediately led someone forward, because he was responsible for the safety of Huangzhuang, and it was strictly forbidden for any idle people to approach here.
However, after Hu Yan stepped forward with his letter, he quickly led the person who came in very respectfully in front of Li Zhang, and then Li Zhang found that the person who came was wearing an official uniform, and his grade was not low, and what surprised him even more was that this person looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that when Zhao Heng handed over the will, this person seemed to be following behind Ding Wei and Cao Yong.
The person who can be summoned into the palace when Zhao Heng dies must be an important minister in the court, Li Zhang did not dare to slack off at this time, and wanted to get off the horse at the moment, but he had short calves, and he was still supported by Huyan Shouxin before getting on the horse, but now it is not easy to get down, and even one of his legs has left the horse, but he can't reach the ground, and as a result, the whole person hangs on the horse for a while, and he can't go up and down, and the scene is very embarrassing for a while.
The official who came in was not very old, but a middle-aged man about forty years old, and when he saw Li Zhang hanging on the horse, he couldn't help laughing, and then he actually stepped forward and helped Li Zhang get off the horse, which made Li Zhang stand firm and immediately thanked: "Thank you!" ”
"Li Banyu doesn't have to be polite, Wang Zeng, the official counselor and political affairs minister, took the liberty to come this time, and I hope Li Banyu won't blame him!" I saw that the middle-aged official smiled again at this time.
Li Zhang couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise when he heard this, of course he had heard of Wang Zeng's name, and he also knew that the other party was still the key person who brought down Ding Wei in the future, although Ding Wei's downfall was mainly due to a conflict of interest with Liu E, but Liu E alone would definitely not work, and Wang Zeng was the person who cooperated with Liu E in the court.
Speaking of Wang Zeng, he is also famous in history, there is a saying in the imperial examination called "Lianzhong Sanyuan", that is, Xie Yuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan, in fact, it is the first place in the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, and there are only a dozen people who can really do it in history, and Wang Zeng is one of them, and he is also the second person in the Song Dynasty who is connected to the three yuan.
"Meet the king and participate in politics!" Li Zhang immediately saluted Wang Zeng, the governor of the political affairs is known as the deputy minister, that is, Ding Wei's deputy, and Wang Zeng can sit in the position of deputy minister when Zhao Heng is in power, naturally it is not easy to be a person, it is said that Wang Zeng is not as square as Li Di, and not as treacherous as Ding Wei, and after he overthrew Ding Wei as the prime minister, his political achievements are also quite outstanding, known as a generation of virtuous ministers, and even Fan Zhongyan admires him very much.
"Li Banyu is polite, this official is also passing by here, I heard that Li Banyu is here, so I came to visit, and I hope Li Banyu will not be surprised!" I saw Wang Zeng speak again at this time, although the identities of the two sides are very different, Wang Zeng has been extremely polite to Li Zhang, and he has apologized twice.
"Wang is polite to participate in politics, in fact, I just came out to relax, I don't know where Wang is going to participate in politics?" Li Zhang also regained his composure at this time, and said at the moment, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, Wang Zeng would not come to see such a small relative of himself for no reason, it is estimated that he heard some news, so he came to probe his tone, of course, he may not know about potatoes, but he must also be suspicious that Liu E sent him to Huangzhuang.
Wang Zeng is also a good person, he originally thought that Li Zhang was young, so he wanted to probe his tone, but he didn't expect Li Zhang to be so shrewd, obviously it was difficult to find out anything, which made him a little disappointed, but on the surface, he didn't show it at all, but smiled again: "Actually, I also have official business, this time I went to the imperial tomb to investigate Lei Yungong's matter." ”
Wang Zeng is tall and handsome, even if he is middle-aged, but it does not reduce his demeanor at all, but it is more of a middle-aged maturity, plus he can speak, ordinary people can easily have a good impression of Wang Zeng.
"I see, last time Lei Yungong was escorted back to Beijing, I also saw his tragic situation with my own eyes, speaking of which, I still know him with old acquaintances, but unfortunately I didn't expect him to do such a stupid thing." When Li Zhang said this, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he really felt sorry for Lei Yungong, the old man.
According to the etiquette, Wang Zeng came from afar, and Li Zhang had to invite the other party to sit down anyway, but he stood there and said so much, but he didn't have the slightest intention of inviting the other party in, and Hu Yan Shouxin next to him also glanced at him several times, but Li Zhang didn't see it.
Wang Zeng was also a little depressed at this time, with his identity, he would be treated as a guest wherever he went, but the little Li Zhang in front of him had no intention of letting him in, which made his desire to enter the Huangzhuang to have a look come to naught.
Speaking of which, although Wang Zeng was passing by here, he also deliberately took time out to enter the Huangzhuang, because he heard some news, especially Li Zhang, who was not only Zhao Zhen's companion, but also highly valued by Liu E, but he was suddenly sent to this Huangzhuang, and no one knew what he was doing, which was a little strange, so he wanted to come and see, but he didn't expect Li Zhang's big ghost to invite him in at all.
"Ahem, Lei Yungong is also killing himself, where is the location of the imperial tomb easy to move?" Wang Zeng was still a little unwilling at this time, and he coughed dryly and said nothing.
"What Wang Shenzheng said is extremely true, I was originally worried that someone in the court would bend the law for personal gain in this matter, but when I saw Wang Shenzheng today, I was relieved!" Li Zhang snorted again at this time and said, anyway, he would not let Wang Zeng in anyway, if the other party didn't leave, then everyone would stand at the door.
Wang Zeng was also made out of temper by Li Zhang, and he can see it now, there must be something strange about this imperial village, otherwise Li Zhang would not have guarded the gate so stubbornly and did not invite him in, but it is not a way to stand so hard that he has been standing like this, and his cheeks are not thick enough to break in, so in desperation, Wang Zeng had to temporarily give up and said: "This official still has to go to the imperial tomb to investigate the case, so he won't stay here for a long time, farewell!" ”
"Oh, I originally wanted to stay with the king to participate in politics and dinner, but I am temporarily living here, and I don't even have a person to cook, I'm really embarrassed, I invite you to go out to participate in politics!" When Li Zhang heard Wang Zeng's farewell, he made a look of sudden realization and said, and then personally stepped forward to send the other party out.
Wang Zeng was also made to cry and laugh by Li Zhang, so he had to turn around and leave, Li Zhang also sent him out of the gate, and then watched the other party get into the carriage, and when Wang Zeng left, Hu Yan Shouxin asked with a puzzled face: "Li Zhang, Wang is an important minister in the court, and others can't stammer, why don't you invite him in for a cup of tea before leaving?" ”
"Brother Shouxin, you don't understand, if I let him in, it will cause trouble, and you have to be careful, no matter who wants to come in the future, they must get my consent, there is a big secret in our imperial village!" At this time, Li Zhang was very serious and kept his faith to Huyan.
Hu Yan Shouxin saw Li Zhang's expression and was also in his heart, in fact, he knew that Li Zhang only planted some things after coming to Huangzhuang, but he didn't know what those things were, let alone the meaning of potatoes, but now I heard Li Zhang say this, plus Li Zhang didn't even let Wang Zeng enter the door, which made Hu Yan Shouxin finally realize that I'm afraid that those things that Li Zhang planted are really a big secret, and if he can cooperate with Li Zhang, his future promotion will not be a problem!
Seeing that Hu Yan Shouxin had realized the importance of potatoes, Li Zhang didn't say anything more, because he knew that the other party was a smart person, and smart people sometimes didn't have to say too thoroughly.
In addition, Liu E actually sent Wang Zeng to investigate Lei Yungong's matter, instead of Ding Wei's henchman, which shows that Lei Yungong is also certain to die this time, but I don't know if Wang Zeng will take this opportunity to burn Lei Yungong's fire on Ding Wei?
