At the end of the next day, Tuoba Shen took Lu Guang from Qingxiao Courtyard, he did not return to the Zhongyin Hall after coming to Qingxiao Courtyard yesterday, but stayed here, chatting with Cao Guiren until late at night before going back to sleep, it was a little late on the second day.

When he arrived at the door, there was already an ox cart parked here, and there were several eunuchs who were about to follow him out of the palace. This is after the emperor said this yesterday, when Tuoba Shen went out of the palace, he asked Zhang Mao to prepare an ox cart for him, the ox cart is stable and slow, it is most suitable for driving in the city with a large number of people, and Lu Guang has to follow all the way on foot, and the ox cart is more convenient.

Why did Zhang Shao borrow to live in Zhang Yi's house, Tuoba Shen didn't know, he was able to get the friendship of borrowing, and he thought that he was either a brother or a relative or friend, but his mother Zhang Concubine didn't mention that there was a person named Zhang Yi in her mother's family before, so Tuoba Shen was also confused about what the relationship between Zhang Shao and Zhang Yi was.

With this question, Tuoba Shen also deliberately went to Baitai and checked Zhang Yi's information, Zhang Yi is not a high-ranking official such as a scholar or a town general, so his information is not a confidential type, and Tuoba Shen can easily get these files, but they are only limited to the superficial, visible files, which cannot be revealed, people naturally dare not show him, and Tuoba Shen does not need it.

After carefully reading Zhang Yi's information, Tuoba Shen realized that Zhang Yi also had some relationship with the "Pingqi household", their family was the same as his mother Zhang Concubine's mother's family, and in the early years, their ancestors followed Murong De to Qingqi, and it may be the same clan. Zhang Yi's ancestor Zhang Xing also served as the Dongmu Taishou of the Murong clan, and later when Liu Yu destroyed the Southern Yan, he took his family and some Dongmu people to join the dynasty, which can be regarded as a hero of early surrender. Maybe he was related to his mother's family at that time. Later, after the maternal great-grandfather surrendered and was moved to Pingcheng, the two families became close again. As for the mother who didn't talk about her old friendship with Zhang Yi's family, it may be because her mother doesn't think Zhang Yi is of the same race! After all, in today's society, those local families like to have the same surname in order to strengthen their family power, and this situation has also been recognized by the society, like the Zheng family in Xingyang, which refers to the Zheng Xi family, but if there is a young child of the non-Zheng Xi family with the same surname Zheng who says that he was born in Xingyang, others will treat him as Zheng Xi's clan and will not delve into whether it is or not. This situation is very common, and to put it bluntly, it is just borrowing momentum from each other.

Where Zhang Yi's house is, Tuoba Shen doesn't know, but fortunately, Zhang Mao also thought of this section, and one of the several entourages arranged for him gave him a rough notice of the distribution of each lane in Pingcheng. The location of Zhang Yi's Pinglu Houdi is also clear, and after spending more than half an hour, after stopping and stopping, he finally arrived at Zhang Yi's house.

Speaking of the title of Zhang Yi Pinglu Marquis, there is an interesting place, that is, the title of Tuoba Shenwai's great-grandfather Zhang Yan is also the Marquis of Pinglu, which is also a major feature of this dynasty, probably because they were all born in Qinghe Zhang, so the imperial court was so sealed, and the same title name is not only Qinghe Zhang's family.

Tuoba Shen ordered the ox cart to be parked on the side of the road, got out of the car himself, and told Lu Guang to go in and report that the children of the old man of the Zhang family in Qinghe had come to visit. He is now wearing a Hu suit, and it is inappropriate to pretend to be a disciple of the Qinghe Zhang family, and he will be regarded by the gatekeeper as deliberately looking for trouble.

If the slave of the Zhang family got Lu Guang, he naturally wanted to come out to take a look, and saw that although Tuoba Shen was raw, he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and it was likely to be everyone's son, so he went in to report. After only a moment, he came out and said, "The family is invited." "As he spoke, he led the way.

Tuoba Shen and Lu Guang followed behind the Zhang family's servants, passed through the front yard and passed through the second-floor portal before entering the main hall of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yi and Zhang Shao were receiving two old friends from Qinghe who had come to visit Zhang Shao, Zhang Shao had been at his house for three days, and since yesterday many friends from Qingqi County and some friends who had made good friends with Zhang Shao have come to visit. Early this morning, there were two old Qinghe Cui clansmen who came together, and Zhang Yi originally planned to accompany Zhang Shao to visit Gao Cong, the Chinese scholar, but he didn't expect another guest to come, so he could only put the matter of visiting Gao Cong's house first. Unexpectedly, not long after entertaining the Cui family brothers, they didn't drink a cup of water, and they got a report from the doorman that the old young children of the family had come to visit.

"Jiajun, the guest has arrived." The slave went in first to report

Zhang Yi, Zhang Shao and the two Cui guests got up from the bed one after another. Together, they walked towards the door. I just heard the doorman say that it was the son of the Zhang family's old friend, and he was a young man, so they didn't go out to greet him, thinking that his old friend couldn't come to visit in person for some reason, so they sent the children of the family to pay their respects. But now that people have also passed it, it would be rude to sit again.

Tuoba Shen stood outside the hall and saw Zhang Yi and the other four people walking out of the main hall. Although he hadn't seen his uncle for five years, Tuoba Shen still recognized Zhang Shao among the four at a glance, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Nephew Shen has visited his uncle, and his uncle has been away for five years, and he didn't want to see him again today." ”

Zhang Shao followed Zhang Yi out of the main hall together, and when he saw Tuoba Shen, he still felt good at first, after all, in five years, Tuoba Shen has changed a little big, and Zhang Shao is a little unrecognizable. When I saw Tuoba bow down, I realized who it was. Regardless of the identity of the prince Tuoba Shen, he hugged Tuoba Shen, and before he could speak, he relaxed and returned the salute sideways: "Your Highness's daughter's body, how dare the lower officials accept the courtesy." There was a slight excitement in his voice.

Zhang Yi even looked at it and guessed on the side, and also recognized Tuoba Shen, and he didn't have time to introduce the Cui brothers more, and bowed: "The lower official Zhang Yi visited the second highness, His Royal Highness deigned to come, and the lower official was guilty of failing to greet him." ”

The Qinghe Cui brothers, who were standing on the side, also bowed down after listening to Zhang Yi's words and pointing out the identity of the young man in front of them. They came to visit today, originally wanted to visit, and secondly, to see if Zhang Shao had brought news from Qinghe's family, but they really didn't expect to meet the second prince here, they are still middle-level officials, and there are not many opportunities to enter the palace. So I don't know Tuoba Shen.

After the four of them welcomed Tuoba Shen into the hall, Tuoba Shen suppressed his emotions, looked at the Cui brothers, and asked, "I don't know who the two are?" My uncle has been working abroad for a long time and has not returned for many years, but the two of you are close friends of my uncle? ”

The Cui brothers glanced at each other and were about to answer, when Zhang Shao on the side said: "These two are the old officials, and the Qinghe Cui Men is high." ”

Pointing to the long-bearded middle-aged man on the left, he said, "This is Cui Guang Cui Xiaobo, the current writer." Xiao Bo is now the secretary and supervisor of the country, and is ordered to revise the history of the country. ”

"It turned out to be a subordinate of Li Micheng. I have a very close relationship with the secret man. ”

"The subordinate officials are humble and lowly, and His Majesty will not abandon his previous suspicions, and he will be awarded the official lu, licked as a subordinate of Li Mi's subordinates, and has to serve the court with meager strength."
