Chapter 425: Divergence
Zhao Yuanyan stayed here with Zhao Zhen for a long time, and did not leave until the sun set, Li Zhang deliberately stayed for a while, mainly because he didn't want to get too close to Zhao Yuanyan, this kind of person is too ambitious, too shrewd, and if he gets too close to him, he will be unlucky sooner or later.
"Cousin, what do you think of Uncle Eight?" But at this moment, he saw Zhao Zhen very excitedly asked Li Zhang, there are too few friends around him, and there is only one Li Zhang, although Zhao Yuanyan is his uncle, he feels that he chats with each other very speculatively, and his interests are similar, so he is also very happy to have one more person to talk to.
Li Zhang listened to Zhao Zhen's inquiry but showed a hesitant expression, because he didn't know whether to tell the truth or lie, if he told the truth, it would definitely ruin Zhao Zhen's interest and make him happy, if he said a lie, it would make Zhao Zhen be deceived by others, not to mention that Zhao Yuanyan was ambitious, if he really let him blind Zhao Zhen, maybe it would cause a big disaster in the future.
"What's the matter, cousin, don't you think Uncle Eight is bad, but I just saw that you had a good chat with Uncle Huang?" Zhao Zhen, as the person who was most familiar with Li Zhang, immediately guessed something when he saw the expression on his face, and asked with a frown.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen had already seen his hesitation, Li Zhang also decided not to hide it anymore, and said directly at the moment: "King Ding's erudite and talented, he is indeed a good person to chat with, if nothing else is involved, I would like to be friends with him, but I think Your Majesty, you'd better not get too close to him." ”
"Why?" Zhao Zhen also frowned even more tightly when he heard Li Zhang's words, after all, he finally made a new friend, and he also wanted to share this joy with Li Zhang, but he didn't expect Li Zhang to persuade him not to get too close to King Ding, which was no less than pouring a basin of cold water on his head.
"As the heir of the emperor, the more the power is alternated, the more suspicion must be avoided, but Your Majesty can think about what the king does every time the imperial power changes, he is unusually active, is this all a coincidence?" Li Zhang didn't want to speak ill of people behind his back, but in order to wake up Zhao Zhen, he could only do this.
Zhao Yuanyan is not a simple person, when Zhao Guangyi was alive, he had the heart to compete for the throne at a young age, and even he was almost about to succeed, Zhao Guangyi in his later years was extremely fond of him, and even ordered him to live in the palace without moving out, but unfortunately Zhao Guangyi died too early, Zhao Yuanyan was not an adult at that time, so in the end the throne still fell into the hands of the adult Zhao Heng.
After Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he was tolerant of Zhao Yuanyan's younger brother on the surface, but in fact he was very defensive, Zhao Yuanyan was driven out of the palace by him as soon as he became an adult, and Zhao Heng also deliberately arranged a forbidden army next to his palace, and the other princes' subordinate officials were generally drafted by Zhongshu Province, and the emperor generally did not ask, but the subordinate officials of Zhao Yuanyan's palace were all appointed by Zhao Heng.
At the time of Zhao Zhen's death, Zhao Yuanyan was also very active, and even lived in the palace for a time, which Li Zhang still remembers. This time Liu E was sick, and Zhao Yuanyan, who was pretending to be crazy at home, jumped out again, and these alone were enough to make people doubt his intentions.
However, Zhao Zhen frowned again after listening to Li Zhang's words, and only after a while did he speak: "Cousin, you may be too worried, when the emperor's grandfather died, the Eighth Emperor Uncle was only thirteen years old, and the reason why his father paid so much attention to him was only out of his brother's love for his younger brother, and before his father died, he specially summoned the Eighth Emperor Uncle into the palace, in fact, he wanted the Eighth Emperor Uncle to take care of me more, which aroused the suspicion of the eldest lady, so the Eighth Emperor Uncle had to pretend to be crazy and hide in the house and not come out. ”
Hearing Zhao Zhen's words to defend Zhao Yuanyan, Li Zhang also frowned secretly, it seems that he still underestimated Zhao Yuanyan, and let Zhao Zhen defend him so much in such a short period of time, of course, this is also related to Zhao Zhen's emphasis on family affection, especially when he was not yet an adult, Zhao Heng died, which made him lack of father's love in his life, and the appearance of Zhao Yuanyan's own uncle just made up for his lack of father's love, so he didn't even listen to Li Zhang's words.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang didn't argue with Zhao Zhen anymore, but sighed and said: "You can't be wrong if you think like this, but I won't change my opinion of King Ding, the only thing that can be verified is time, and it will depend on which of us has a more accurate vision in the future." ”
"Okay, then we won't discuss the matter of the Eighth Emperor Uncle, let time prove who is right and who is wrong!" Zhao Zhen immediately spoke.
It's not early, so Li Zhang also said goodbye and left at this time, and Zhao Zhen also sent him out of the hall, but when the two separated, the atmosphere seemed a little dull, after all, because of Zhao Yuanyan's matter, the two had a disagreement for the first time, although this difference may not affect the relationship between the two, but it is not a pleasant thing after all.
Early the next morning, the mission that was left behind by Li Zhang finally came to the capital, and Li Zhang was also busy all of a sudden, after all, the mission had many finishing matters that he needed to deal with, even if Fu Bi helped him, but he still kept him busy for several days.
Finally, when the affairs of the mission were finally completed, Li Zhang finally had a period of free time, and after thinking about it again, he finally decided to visit Liu E, although he was summoned by Liu E in the Vertical Arch Hall last time, but he did not see Liu E's true face through the screen, and from Zhao Zhen and Lu Wu, he learned that Liu E was very sick before, and he had to visit him as a junior anyway.
At that moment, Li Zhang asked people to prepare some gifts, especially some special products brought back from Liao, such as Goryeo ginseng and the like, and then rode into the palace in a carriage again, but he did not go directly to the Vertical Arch Hall this time, but asked people to report it first, and after getting Liu E's consent to summon him, he came to the Vertical Arch Hall again.
Compared with the last time, there was no one else in the vertical arch hall this time, when Li Zhang came here, he saw Liu E sitting behind the bookcase and dealing with the folds, and the white hair on one end was also extremely dazzling, and when Liu E raised his head, Li Zhang found that the wrinkles on Liu E's face were deeper, and there was almost no look in a pair of cloudy eyes, and now she has really become a drooping old woman.
"See the Queen Mother!" Li Zhang stepped forward and saluted Liu E.
"No need to be polite, is the mission done with the matter?" Liu E glanced at Li Zhang at this time, then lowered her head and asked while handling the folds in her hand.
"After dealing with it, I came to report to the Queen Mother today, and by the way, I also came to visit the Queen Mother!" Li Zhang replied honestly.
"My body is fast, you don't have to worry, I heard that you went to Your Majesty a few days ago, you should have met King Ding, right?" Liu E finally finished processing a piece of music at this time, then put down the pen and raised her head to look at Li Zhang, and suddenly asked.
