Li Zhang stood in the wide court outside the main hall of the Taimiao, his face was blank and there was no expression, and the surrounding civil and military officials also kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, because Li Zhang's actions just now had made many people disgusted and even resentful of him, if it were not for Li Zhang's support, Liu E would not have been able to walk from the Yimen to the main hall, let alone have the strength to enter the main hall.

"Captain Li, you ...... You're so reckless! But at this moment, he suddenly saw Lu Yijian, who was the head of the hundred officials, walking up to Li Zhang's side, and then sighed in a low voice, this was the second time he said that Li Zhang was reckless.

"Lu Xiang is too close to me, aren't you afraid of being disgusted?" Li Zhang smiled indifferently.

"Only short-sighted people will resent you, and people with real vision are probably waiting to slap you, but you are indeed too reckless this time, even if your identity is special, and now you are so close to the Queen Mother, you will be truthful in the future." Lu Yijian said very honestly.

Li Zhang shook his head helplessly when he heard this, in fact, if it weren't for Liu E's illness too much, Lu Yijian would not have said it so clearly, to put it bluntly, Lu Yijian also concluded that Liu E would definitely not live long, so he would say these words.

"Why, Captain Li, don't you believe it? However, I still advise you not to underestimate the power of the courtiers, if they really want to deal with a person, even if this person's identity is special, I am afraid that it will not be easy in the future. Seeing Li Zhang shaking his head, Lu Yijian thought that Li Zhang didn't believe his words, so he warned again at this time.

The reason why Lu Yijian came to talk to Li Zhang under the eyes of everyone behind him was that on the one hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Li Zhang again, and on the other hand, he also wanted Li Zhang to restrain a little, after all, he pressed some bets on Li Zhang, and naturally he didn't want Li Zhang to be unlucky for offending too many people, and he would not be able to recover his previous bets at that time.

Seeing that Lu Yijian had misunderstood him, Li Zhang didn't explain much, but smiled calmly again: "I believe in Lu Xiang's words, but I only want to have a clear conscience in doing things, as for what others think of me, I don't care!" ”

Hearing Li Zhang's answer, Lu Yijian secretly smiled bitterly, how can an official have a clear conscience, he just makes a choice among interests, but Li Zhang doesn't want interests now, this is actually very capricious, and it will never work in officialdom.

"Captain Li is a smart person, I have already said everything I should say, I hope you will not make today's mistakes in the future!" Lu Yijian saw that he couldn't persuade Li Zhang, so he could only give up his hand and say goodbye at this time.

Li Zhang hesitated for a moment at this time, and finally bowed down and saluted: "Although the concept is different, I know that Lu Xiang is thinking about the lower officials, and this favor has been written down by the lower officials, and if there is an opportunity in the future, it will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Lu Yijian was waiting for Li Zhang's words, and when he heard this, he also showed a satisfied smile and said: "Hehe, it doesn't matter what the favor is, we are officials in the same dynasty, and I see that Li Duwei is young and promising, so I want to mention you more, your achievements in the future will definitely not be comparable to the old man!" ”

After touting Li Zhang, Lu Yijian also left with a smile, Li Zhang stood alone in front of the gate of the main hall, listening to the sound of bells and drums inside and calculating the time, Liu E has been in for a long time, it is said that even if the ritual of the sacrifice is complicated, but it should be over now?

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang also became more worried, in case Liu E collapsed due to physical exhaustion, it would really become a joke in the court, but now no one has come out to report, indicating that Liu E has not had a problem for the time being, but as time goes by, it is unknown whether Liu E can still persevere.

After about half an hour, Li Zhang was already impatient to wait, and even wanted to break into the temple, then suddenly only listened to the sound of bells and drums and silk music inside, and then saw Liu E walked out with the support of two female musicians, although at this time Liu E was sweating profusely, and the clothes on her body were almost soaked with sweat, but her spirit was extremely excited, her eyes were bright and scary, and her pale face was also with a satisfied smile, after all, the greatest wish in her life was finally completed.

Li Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu E, and the other officials of Guangting saw Liu E walk out, and many people also showed disappointed expressions again, because this means that the sacrifice of the Taimiao was completed by Liu E, and it also represents that the rules of the Great Song Dynasty have been broken for many years, and the Taimiao will no longer be the only emperor who can enter the Taimiao in the future, and even with the precedent of Liu E, maybe there will be other people who will follow suit in the future.

Li Zhang didn't think about it so much, or he didn't take it to heart when he thought about it, compared to the ancients of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Zhang was a complete pragmatist, and he didn't value these formal things at all, what really made him value was the real interests, of course, Li Zhang himself was a person who valued feelings, so sometimes even if the interests were great, he was not willing to go against his feelings.

Helped Liu E out of the temple, and then got on the jade chariot, but at this time Liu E couldn't even sit steadily, and could only be supported by two palace maids on the left and right, Li Zhang was also anxious at this time, and even wished that the jade chariot would go faster, so that he could return to the palace earlier, and then let the imperial doctor treat Liu E, but although the jade chariot was luxurious, the speed was not fast, and Li Zhang suffered a lot along the way.

Finally returned to the palace, the imperial doctor who had already received the news also immediately rushed to diagnose and treat Liu E, in fact, Liu E's situation they didn't see it clearly, yesterday Liu E was sick with silver, and today he forced his body to go to the temple to worship, and now not only is his physical strength overdrawn, but his condition is also aggravating, which makes them a little helpless, but at this time they can only stubbornly take medicine for diagnosis and treatment.

"Cousin, how is the eldest lady?" At this moment, he suddenly saw Miao Yuan walking over quickly with an anxious face and asked.

"The imperial doctor hasn't come out yet, but it's not very good." Li Zhang was also in a depressed mood at this time, then looked at Miao Yuan and asked again, "Your Majesty, why haven't you seen him all this time?" ”

"Didn't the eldest brother go to the Taimiao with you?" Miao Yuan also widened her eyes and asked in surprise when she heard Li Zhang's words, she always thought that Zhao Zhen also went to the Taimiao, but now that she heard Li Zhang say this, it seems that Zhao Zhen did not leave the palace"

Li Zhang saw that even Miaoyuan didn't know Zhao Zhen's whereabouts, which made his heart sink again, and after pondering for a while, he finally spoke again: "Miaoyuan, you are guarding the Queen Mother here, I will go to Funing Hall to find Your Majesty, if the imperial doctor has any news, you must send someone to inform me!" ”
