Chapter 497: Li Zhi's Troubles

"Alas, brother-in-law, I really can't live my life!"

At noon, Li Zhi found Zhang Yunwen dejectedly and complained to him.

"What, you're still dissatisfied with your current life? You know, you're a prince! Looking at Li Zhi with a sad face, Zhang Yunwen said with a smile.

Li Zhi glanced around, and saw that an attendant was only a few steps away from him, and his eyes were horizontal, and the attendant immediately bowed and slowly withdrew from the room.

"Brother-in-law, you don't know, my little brother has been sleeping alone for more than ten days!" Li Zhi whispered.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that Li Zhi's wife didn't let Li Zhi enter the door?

Li Zhi continued: "The crown princess Wang was originally gentle and virtuous, but in less than a year, her true nature was exposed and she actually bullied Mei Niang. Every time I go to Mei Niang's place to rest, on the second day, this Wang always tries every possible way to blame Mei Niang. Every time Lone intervenes and says something fair, the Wang family will use this as the name of the affairs of the harem of the East Palace, and will not let Lone interfere in the process! Mei Niang has been wronged, and there is no way to be lonely! So ask your brother-in-law to help with an idea! ”

"Uh, Koji, can I ask you a question?" Zhang Yunwen said in a low voice.

"What's the problem?"

"How many times a month do you rest at Wang's place?" Zhang Yunwen's voice was lowered. When he asked this, he had an unspeakable smile on his face.

Li Zhi's white face couldn't help flashing a hint of redness, it seemed that Zhang Yunwen asked this question, which made him a little embarrassed, and after a while, he still replied in a low voice: "There are so many times a month!" ”

As soon as he heard Li Zhi's answer, Zhang Yunwen also knew the reason for the discord in his family with his toes.

"Well, that Xiaozhi, as long as you can rest at Wang's place for ten days every month, then Wang's resentment will be reduced by more than half. Usually, you are shushing the cold and asking for warmth, caring more about the Wang family, and after a few months, you will definitely be in harmony with the Wang family! ”

Zhang Yunwen's eyes flashed with obscene light, and he suggested to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi said with a bitter face: "But I don't like that Wang family very much!" It's serious all day long, and it's not fun at all! Look at how good Mei Niang is......" said this, he stopped suddenly, how can this kind of thing be said casually!

Li Zhi's answer made Zhang Yunwen dumbfounded, could it be that the king and queen in history fell out of favor for this reason?

"Uh, Xiaozhi, I can't help you with this! You'd better look for another skill! Zhang Yunwen hurriedly said.

Li Zhi shook his head: "Brother-in-law, you can help me!" Mei Niang has no relatives behind her, even if she spoils her, she is a little worse after all. Like the Wang family, there is the Taiyuan Wang family behind it, and the protégés of the Wang family in the court are all over the place. And the samurai are in the middle and falling, the talents are withering, and there is no one who is an official in the court. So Mei Niang has been bullied by the Wang family. Today, Xiaozhi wants to ask her brother-in-law to accept Mei Niang as her sister-in-law, which can be regarded as her support! If you have anything in the future, you can ask your brother-in-law for help! ”

Listening to Li Zhi's words, Zhang Yunwen was stunned. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi went around for a long time, and what he wanted to talk about was this matter! When I met that Wu Meiniang today, she must have been about to say it, but she was interrupted by the Wang family.

Now recalling the scene at that time, Wu Meiniang was indeed pressed by the Wang family. However, after thinking about it, if Li Zhi ascended the throne, would this Wu Meiniang still be made the queen, and if he became Wu Meiniang's brother-in-law, then there would only be support for her at that time. But it seems that after she got acquainted with Wu Meiniang, she kept holding herself. During the New Year's holidays, he would give all kinds of things in the name of the East Palace and private individuals, and in his spare time, he came to Zhang's house to communicate with his wife.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yunwen said: "Okay, anyway, I'm your brother-in-law, even if I recognize the Wu clan as my righteous sister, it's nothing!" ”

"That's great! Mei Niang will definitely agree, this suggestion was originally made by her! Li Zhi said happily, "The Wang family is the sister-in-law of the Wang family in my brother-in-law's family, and there is a brother-in-law, see if she dares to bully Mei Niang!" ”

Looking at Li Zhi's radiant appearance, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but deeply admire Wu Meiniang's methods. She can actually attract Li Zhizhisi, I have to say, very powerful.

Next, Li Zhi set a date, on the eighth day of October, Wu Meiniang and Zhang Yunwen will become brothers and sisters. And before that, Li Zhi had to convince Li Shimin. As long as Li Shimin agrees, even if there are ministers who oppose it, it will be useless.

"Ahem, Xiaozhi, this matter of convincing Your Majesty will be left to you, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to do it!" Zhang Yunwen unceremoniously threw this errand to Li Zhi, he knew that if he spoke slowly for a while, Li Zhi would definitely throw this matter to himself.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, I saw Li Zhi open his mouth wide and look at Zhang Yunwen in surprise.

"Uh, Xiaozhi, I stayed in this ninety percent palace last night without informing your sisters. They must have been in a hurry. Therefore, my brother-in-law should return to Chang'an as soon as possible! Well, I'll leave it to you to convince Your Majesty! Zhang Yunwen said this, saluted Li Zhi, and slowly withdrew from the palace. Li Zhi stretched out his hand and wanted to stop Zhang Yunwen, but saw him wearing a black cloak swaying by the door, and then disappeared. I had to put down my hand in frustration, and I thought of a way to persuade Li Shimin in my mind.

Returning to Chang'an City is like returning home. Seeing the neat alleys, the wide streets, and the green willow trees hanging down on both sides, the intimacy that swelled up in my heart is not something that can be described by pen and ink. After living in Chang'an for so many years, every inch of land and every section of the city wall in Chang'an is already very familiar. There is also his own property in Chang'an, and the land outside Chang'an already has the style of a home. Moreover, at this time, Zhang Yunwen was still in the position of the prince of the country, commanding the right Yulin army, and he was spreading branches and leaves in Chang'an, and there was no problem. Returning to Zhang's home, in Zhang Yunwen's opinion, there is no need anymore.

And the Zhang family in Qinghe didn't seem to have much hope for Zhang Yunwen to return to his home, so after Zhang Zhaoyang returned to Qinghe, he never sent anyone again. In fact, a discerning person can know at a glance that if Zhang Yunwen dares to return to Qinghe's family, then Li Shimin will definitely be very jealous of the Zhang family, even more than the five surnames and seven families. And the final result is that Li Shimin suppressed the Zhang family on the one hand, and on the other hand, he would idle Zhang Yunwen and not use it. In this way, it is not good news for either the Zhang family or Zhang Yunwen.

Although Zhang Yunwen returned to Chang'an, Li Shimin has not returned the Datang Military Academy, the Investigation Institute and other departments to him, so he is now hiding at home every day, as leisurely as he wants. Although he still has the position of the general of the Right Feather Forest Army, he is the largest in the entire Right Feather Forest Army, and even if he doesn't respond to it, no one will say anything.

On the fourth day after Zhang Yunwen returned to Chang'an, news came from Li Zhi's side that he had persuaded Li Shimin.

As the days passed, the weather began to get cooler. And Li Shimin also returned to Chang'an on September 16.

This year's autumn harvest is not bad, of course, Henan has to be removed. Henan's grain harvest is 40 percent less than last year. When Li Shimin heard about Henan's grain production, he said to Zhang Yunwen: "If it weren't for Yunwen's drought in Henan, this output might be even lower!" ”

Later, Li Shimin resumed his post as president of the Zhang Yunwen Investigation Institute, and the reconnaissance battalion, the recruit training camp and the artillery battalion were also reassigned to Zhang Yunwen's name. The gendarmerie battalion was handed over to Li Daoxuan, and the Datang Military Academy was handed over to Li Ji. Zhang Yunwen knew that his identity as a child of the Zhang family in Qinghe still brought trouble to him. So Li Shimin took back part of his power.

In fact, whether it is the gendarmerie camp or the Datang Military Academy, Zhang Yunwen does not spend much thought. These two departments have their own operating mechanisms, and there is not much difference in the results between them and whether or not Zhang Yunwen is in charge. So, for these two places, he is not very nostalgic. And Li Daoxuan is an upright and heroic person, and he can be in charge of the gendarmerie. Needless to say, Li Ji is a generation of military masters, and it is very suitable for him to be in charge of the Datang Military Academy.

As compensation, Li Shimin gave a large amount of silk and satin, and raised his rank to one level.
