"The king participates in politics?" Li Zhang turned his head when he heard the voice, but saw that the person who called him turned out to be Wang Zeng, saying that he had not seen him again since he had met him twice in the imperial mausoleum last time, but he heard that Wang Zeng was now suppressed by Ding Wei very badly.

Speaking of which, Ding Wei is now in power to the government and the opposition, especially after Li Di was demoted, there is no opponent in the court, but Ding Wei is a restless guy, as if he is uncomfortable without an opponent, and Wang Zeng is unlucky, because Wang Zeng sometimes raises some objections to Ding Wei's opinions, although he is not explicitly opposed, but it still makes Ding Wei feel unhappy with him.

"Hehe, I looked like Li Banyu in the back just now, I didn't expect it to be you, but aren't you on the Huangzhuang side, why did you suddenly come back, is it that the affairs on the Huangzhuang side have been done." Wang Zeng walked over with a smile at this time, it seemed that he was not dead set on the affairs of Huangzhuang, and mentioned Huangzhuang twice in just a few words.

"I'm just coming back this time to visit my family, and by the way, I want to see the eldest lady and Your Majesty, and the king is participating in politics to see the eldest lady?" Li Zhang already knew something about Wang Zeng, and he replied in a light-hearted manner, and also led the topic to him.

Seeing that Li Zhang was still so cautious, Wang Zeng couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, I have something to see the Queen Mother." ”

"Then don't delay the king's participation in politics, farewell!" Li Zhang immediately arched his hand when he heard this, although Wang Zeng didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, but it was unbearable to inquire about Huangzhuang as soon as they met, and Wang Zeng seemed to be plotting to kill Ding Wei now, although he finally succeeded, but he didn't know the specific process, so he was also worried that if he and Wang Zeng got too close, he might be involved in this power struggle.

"Li Banyu stayed, how did you think about what I told you last time?" Wang Zeng opened his mouth at this time to stop Li Zhangdao.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this.

"Why did you forget, it's your marriage with the little girl, it just so happens that you came back this time, or the two of us will make an appointment to meet, if it is appropriate, how about the marriage be decided in advance?" Wang Zeng said again with a smile at this time.

When Li Zhang heard this, he remembered that last time Wang Zeng wanted to marry his daughter to himself, but he prevaricated it, but he didn't expect him to bring up the old matter again.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Wang Senzheng, because the eldest lady asked me to leave tomorrow, I really don't have time, let's talk about it when I have time later!" After Li Zhang finished speaking, he saluted again, then turned around and walked away quickly.

"Hey......" Wang Zeng wanted to say something more, but he didn't expect Li Zhang to run so fast, he couldn't stop the other party again, which made him shake his head helplessly, but then he smiled dumbly, thinking that with his own status, the children in the family are all begging to marry, but this Li Zhang is hiding from himself, which is really interesting.

However, Wang Zeng quickly put Li Zhang's matter behind, only to see that he raised his head at this time to look at the vertical arch hall, and then touched a piece of the fold in his arms, today he came to see Liu E is not because of any trivial matter, but there is a matter related to the Great Song Dynasty National Fortune to report, if it happens, then he will become a hero who turns the tide, if not, Kou Zhun and Li Di are his examples.

After Li Zhang left the Vertical Arch Palace, he came to Jingfu Hall to find Zhao Zhen, mainly to say goodbye to him, it is estimated that he will be gone for a few months, and he will not come back until the New Year, but when Zhao Zhen learned that he was going to leave again, he was very reluctant, after all, without Li Zhang's playmate, his usual days would be too lonely.

"You also heard it last time, the eldest lady asked me to train an army equipped with muskets, if it can be done, in the future, we will have a pure firearms army in the Great Song Dynasty, and then pull it out for you to review, it must be majestic!" Li Zhang also saw Zhao Zhen's unhappiness, and changed the topic at the moment.

"What's the use of prestige, I can't shoot a musket myself." Zhao Zhen was not so easy to fool, and said with an unhappy face again.

"Don't be upset, I'll give you the best musket in the future, it's definitely countless times better than the musket you saw that day!" Li Zhang also spoke again a little helplessly at this time.

"This is what you said, cousin, let's make up our minds!" Zhao Zhen finally recovered a little bit when he heard this, and immediately stretched out his hand and said.

"It's a deal!" Li Zhang also stretched out his hand to high-five Zhao Zhen as an oath.

In fact, Zhao Zhen is not a vexatious person, he knows that Li Zhang is now in charge of muskets and potatoes, he may not have understood before, but since Zhao Heng's death, he has been exposed to more and more government affairs, and he has slowly matured, and now he naturally knows the importance of potatoes and muskets, but emotionally he is still reluctant to let Li Zhang leave.

At that moment, Li Zhang chatted with Zhao Zhen for a few more words, and at this time, Li Zhang also remembered what happened to Wang Zeng just now, so he asked casually: "I met Wang Zeng Wang to participate in politics just now, and I heard that he was severely suppressed by Ding Wei during this time, I don't know if it's true?" ”

"Wang participates in politics? Did he go to the eldest lady? Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask with a surprised expression when he heard Li Zhang's words.

"Yes, I just came out of the Vertical Arch Temple, and I met him at the temple gate." Li Zhang nodded, but he found that Zhao Zhen's expression was a little strange, as if it was a very surprising thing that Wang had gone to see Liu E?

"This is strange, cousin, you may not know, since Ding Wei appointed himself as Situ, he has been watching the palace very strictly, and if the minister wants to see the eldest lady, he must get his nod, otherwise he may not even be able to enter the palace gate, and Wang Zeng has disagreed with Ding Wei several times, and it may be even more difficult to see the eldest lady." Zhao Zhen said with a serious expression at this time.

Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Ding Wei's power to have swelled to such an extent, but it was still the same sentence, the more arrogant Ding Wei was, the more he was not far from the downfall, and Li Zhang had a hunch that Wang Zeng suddenly came to see Liu E today, which was probably related to the overthrow of Ding Wei, after all, in history, Wang Zeng took the lead in participating in Ding Wei, and then Liu E deprived Ding Wei of his phase with a holy decree, and sent him far away to Hainan Island to fish.

"That's interesting, but Ding said you don't have to worry about it, someone will clean him up then!" Li Zhang patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder at this time and said.

"Cousin, you also said last time that Ding Wei was going to be unlucky, but I can't see anyone else in the court who can bring down Ding Wei?" Zhao Zhen said a little depressed at this time, he sometimes hated himself for why he wasn't born a few years earlier, so that he didn't have to be as weak as he is now.

"Hehe, you have to believe in the eldest lady, and you must also be patient, a moment of pride does not mean anything, who can laugh until the end is the winner!" Li Zhang smiled again at this time, and after speaking, he didn't explain too much, and then pulled Zhao Zhen to say goodbye to Miaoyuan, but Miaoyuan was more direct than Zhao Zhen, and when he heard that Li Zhang was leaving, he cried directly, and finally Li Zhang coaxed and promised to bring her gifts, which finally made Miaoyuan stop crying.

The next morning, Li Zhang also got into the carriage in the family's send-off, and there were clothes and supplies prepared for him by Xiuxiu in the car, and even two big boxes of food, just afraid that Li Zhang would suffer outside, in fact, there were people in the family who occasionally went to see him in the first half of the year, for example, Li Yonghe once took Tanuki and Douzi to go, Huozi and Ugly Niang also went, but they each had their own affairs, and they couldn't live in Huangzhuang for a long time, and Li Zhang didn't want others to revolve around him, so he usually lived alone, At most, the wild dogs will go and stay with him for a little longer.

After saying goodbye to his family, Li Zhang's carriage passed through the streets of Tokyo City, and then came to the West City Gate, which was the Liang Gate when Jin Shan was exiled out of the city before, but just when Li Zhang's carriage came to Liang Gate, before he could get out of the city, he suddenly saw a horse galloping over, and then the knight on the horse boarded the city gate, and then the Liang Gate was closed, and all the people who were ready to leave the city were blocked at the city gate for a while.

"What's the matter, why are the gates suddenly closed?" Everyone on the street was asking each other, but no one knew the reason, Li Zhang's carriage was also blocked behind, and there were dense heads in front and behind, that is, there was no way to move forward or retreat, which made him extremely depressed, because he couldn't get off the carriage to inquire about the news.

However, soon there was news at the city gate that the city was going to arrest important criminals, so the city gate was temporarily closed, and as for when it was opened, it was necessary to wait for the notice from above, so those who wanted to enter and exit the city gate either waited here or went back to rest.

Hearing this news, the streets are also in an uproar, after all, there are many people waiting to get out of the city, but now the city gate is closed, and there is no accurate time when the door will open, which can delay a lot of things, especially some merchants transporting goods, finally walking to the city gate but not letting them out of the city, but let them complain.

But no matter how much you complain, the order of the court is not something they can change, at first most people were still waiting patiently, but as time went by, many people lost their patience, and the people blocking the city gate slowly dispersed, Li Zhang's carriage was finally able to move, but there were still too many people crowded on the side of the city gate, and he couldn't pass at all, it was almost noon at this time, so he didn't plan to squeeze any further, but let the coachman drive the carriage to a nearby restaurant, planning to have lunch. If the gates are not opened, then he will go home and rest for another day.

The name of this restaurant is Taibai Drunk, the scale is not very large, and Li Zhang's aftertaste is almost the same, but the business in the restaurant is booming, because there are many people who have the same plan as Li Zhang, so the restaurant is also crowded with guests who are blocked at the city gate, and at this time there are also discussions in the restaurant, all discussing why the imperial court suddenly blocked the city gate? Li Zhang also listened quietly, but each had his own statements, most of which were speculations, and none of them were reliable at all.
