King Xiang left gently, leaving only a jade plaque!

Zhang 12 played with the jade card engraved with "Xiang" in his hand, thinking about what King Xiang said just now: with this card can freely enter and exit the palace of King Xiang, and if it is in danger, you can show this card, and those who see this card are like seeing King Xiang......

Stuffing this treasure into his clothes, Zhang Twelve thought to himself that he now had two talismans, but Emperor Tang's gold medal was used for him to open a restaurant, and now that the restaurant is on the right track, it is estimated that he will soon take it back......

Then there will be this amulet left on his body, he should keep it well, maybe it will be of great use in the future!

Put away the jade card, and heard the sound of someone going up the stairs outside the door, Zhang Twelve looked at the sky, and estimated that Lu Fujing and Qin Yutong were back, so he happily went over to open the door.

Standing outside the house were indeed Lu Fujing and Qin Yutong, and after entering the room, Qin Yutong asked with some confusion: "Why are you standing at the counter?" What about the shopkeeper Zhu? ”

"He's been fired by me!"

So, Zhang Twelve told him what happened this morning, although Qin Yutong was a little surprised, but she still agreed with the decision made by Zhang Twelve, after all, her impression of Zhu's shopkeeper was not very good, it was inevitable to open him, it was just a matter of time or time, Zhang Twelve did it in advance, she was worry-free!

It's just that Lu Fujing, who was next to her, listened to Zhang Twelve's words, and asked with some worry: "You are so-blackmailing the prince, it will be fine, right?" ”

Zhang Twelve's actions can be regarded as refreshing Lu Fujing's cognition, is this still the original person who was kicked silently by himself? Even the high-ranking prince suffered a secret loss under him, which is a bit unbelievable!

Zhang Twelve was a little proud in his heart, but he still pretended to be indifferent and said, "Where is blackmail?" Is it good to do business? And I had a great conversation with the prince, and the business ended in a peaceful atmosphere, and the prince said that he would come back next time when he left! ”

To be honest, when it comes to bragging, Zhang Twelve has never been afraid of anyone!

Lu Fujing listened, glanced at Qin Yutong, rolled her eyes at him very consistently, "cut" again, and then walked away......

Zhang Twelve was sad for a while, and now he couldn't even bluff a woman, but how could it be good......

…………

In the middle of the night, the whole of Jingzhou gradually began to be shrouded in darkness and silence, and most of the lights in Jingzhou were extinguished, except for rows of guards patrolling with lanterns passing by occasionally.

At this time, in the depths of the palace, there were still lights flickering in the imperial study, and the sound of pages turning was heard from time to time.

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared outside the imperial study, if Zhang Twelve was here, he would definitely look at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, because this person who flew over from a distance was Wu De!

Wu De glanced at the guards who were already dozing off a little outside the door of the imperial study, coughed lightly, the two of them immediately woke up, and when they saw the figure standing in front of them, their faces immediately turned pale, and they were about to salute, Wu De waved his hand, gently pushed open the door of the imperial study, and the figure floated in.

At the moment when he just floated in, the old man in the corner suddenly opened his eyes, and after discovering that the person who came was Wu De, his eyes became softer, and with a little relief, he closed his eyes again......

In the imperial study, Emperor Tang was leaning over the innermost table to review the folds, and after looking up and seeing that it was Wu De, his face was as usual, he put down the folds in his hand, rubbed his wrists, and said with a helpless smile:

"This Zhang Twelve is so worry-free! The restaurant he told me about before turned out to be Yang Zexin's smelling fragrance! Not only did he buy other people's restaurants, but he also paid a lot less money! Not only that, he also beat Luo Zhiyuan's only son Luo Xingjian a few days ago, and after the fight, he asked someone for 5,000 taels of silver! You see, it's all hit here! ”

After saying this, Emperor Tang seemed to remember something about Coke again, and laughed a few times and said: "What I said to Yilan is really not bad at all, this Zhang Twelve is good anywhere, he is greedy for money!" That Yang Zexin and Luo Xingjian were unlucky when they met him, he dared to ask me for a reward, not to mention others, haha......"

Wu De also laughed twice and said, "Your Majesty doesn't want to punish Zhang Xianbo, right?" ”

Because the Tang Emperor had already given Zhang the title of Earl of Twelve Counties, in the Tang Dynasty, the titles were all given by the Holy Emperor, so they were much more noble than ordinary official positions, so Wu De would change the name of Zhang Twelve to "Uncle Zhang", instead of the original General Zhang.

"Heh, I won't punish him! The restaurant is also mine, and the money he saved was also saved for me, so I can't praise him, how can I be willing to punish him? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Tang stood up again, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "As for that Luo Xingjian, he should have been beaten a long time ago!" Privately occupy the former residence of the scholar of Mao University, do I really not know? is rampant and domineering in Jingzhou City, really when everyone can't see it? The Locke family has this son, why not die? Zhang Twelve's fight this time is very much in line with my heart! ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Wu De's mouth, and he sighed in his heart: The weight of this Zhang Xianbo in the heart of the saint is too heavy, and the future development is immeasurable!

At the same time, he nodded and said: "Regarding the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inviting the three princes of Wu in the East Palace yesterday, the old slave has something to tell His Majesty. ”

"Oh? Then tell me quickly, I want to see what trouble Zhang Twelve has! ”

Emperor Tang smiled, stretched his body, and walked down and said.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wu De was stunned for a moment, and then said with great admiration.

Emperor Tang waved his hand, and said with a little doubt: "What is wise or not, could it be that he is really in trouble again?" ”

After seeing Wu De nodding, Emperor Tang's expression was extremely exciting, he just said casually, how do you know that this Zhang Twelve is really in trouble again!

sighed a little helplessly and said: "Then Yang Zexin and Luo Xingjian are the most effective generals around Yizhi, Zhang Twelve beat them, Yizhi must feel that he has lost face, with his arrogant temperament, he will inevitably find trouble with Zhang Twelve!" And Zhang Twelve is obviously not the master who can be slaughtered by others, so if there is no contradiction between these two people, it will be strange for me! ”

Wu De smiled when he heard this, and didn't think much about it, so he told everything that happened in the East Palace yesterday.

If the crown prince or Zhang Twelve were present, I am afraid that Wu De's words would drop their jaws!

Because his description of the conflict in the East Palace yesterday was extremely detailed, as if he was personally present, and even the details that Zhang Twelve and the crown prince did not notice, he did not omit, it was really terrifying......

…………

"Stupid! Stupidity! It's just stupid! ”

After listening to Wu De's words, Emperor Tang almost roared and said three "stupid" in a row, in order to express the anger in his heart!

Regarding the topic of criticizing the crown prince, Wu De was inconvenient to interject, and stood aside, waiting for Emperor Tang's next words.

"Knowing that I value Zhang Twelve very much, but I still deliberately make things difficult for him, what does he want to do?"

"Repel the Western Liang cavalry and force the Western Liang to make a truce; Help the imperial court get rid of the four eagles of Yushan to prevent future troubles; Wu Dou won the third prince of Wu Guo and avoided Yi Lan from marrying Wu Guo - isn't it a merit to bring out any of these things? He has done so much for the royal family, as the crown prince, doesn't he know gratitude? ”

After saying this, Emperor Tang's eyes revealed deep worry and helplessness.

There are many princes of the Tang Dynasty, but there are only two adults, that is, the prince and King Xiang, but compared to the second prince Xiangwang, the prince has a stubborn personality, and acts in a high-profile manner, especially there are many bad habits, although the Tang Emperor is in the palace, but he knows everything about it.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son has been appointed as the crown prince in all dynasties, but it was only in the Tang Dynasty that the rules were broken.

And now he has been called the emperor, and he still follows this tradition for the establishment of the prince, and sets up the eldest son as the prince, but then he finds many shortcomings of the prince, just when he is young, he will slowly get better in the future......

But as time went by, the prince's style of action not only did not converge, but intensified, compared to his second brother Xiangwang, it was not as good as his second brother Xiangwang, and the reputation among the people of Jingzhou was not very good!

Therefore, Emperor Tang was not very satisfied with the prince in his heart, and he was even more angry when he heard this!

After calming down for a while, Emperor Tang spoke: "But Zhang Twelve is really powerful, he can frustrate the prince's morale in the East Palace, which is much more powerful than I imagined!" That's fine, the prince is used to being arrogant on weekdays, and today someone made him suffer some hardships, hoping that he can learn some lessons! Wu De, you go and pass the decree and let the prince enter the palace with Zhang Twelve, it is not difficult to resolve such a small contradiction! ”

In Emperor Tang's opinion, if you want to keep the Tang Dynasty safe, a capable person like Zhang Twelve must be retained! And the crown prince will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, if he doesn't have a good relationship with Zhang Twelve, wouldn't he be pushed out to other countries?

So he thought about being a peacemaker today and resolving the conflict between the two......

Wu De listened to Emperor Tang's words, and a wry smile appeared on his face, thinking that this contradiction would not be resolved......

Then he spoke, "Your Majesty...... The old slave still has something to report......"

"And?"

Emperor Tang raised his eyebrows and asked with some doubts: "Could it be that Zhang Twelve is in trouble again?" ”

So Wu De told Emperor Tang what happened in today's "Smell the Fragrance", and paid attention to Emperor Tang's face while talking.

After listening to this, Emperor Tang was silent for a long time, and finally sat on the chair, and said helplessly: "That's it, that's it, there's no need to announce that the two of them have entered the palace!" ”

Listening to Wu De talk about what happened at the banquet just now, although Emperor Tang was angry, he was not cold-hearted, thinking that the prince was just to give Yang Zexin and Luo Xingjian a head start, although he was reckless, but it was not undesirable.

But what happened in "Smell the Fragrance", all the shortcomings of the crown prince were exposed, which made Emperor Tang feel a deep sense of powerlessness: Was the original decision really right?

"Didn't the two of them do anything?"

Emperor Tang habitually rubbed the position of his temples, and asked, "Before the prince's personal guards came to smell the incense, did Zhang Twelve tell the prince that the liquor was given to him by me?" ”

Wu De shook his head and said: "According to the information of the Secret Spy Division, Zhang Xianbo should be jealous of the identity of the prince, so he didn't do anything before the guards arrived, and it was only when the guards started to grab the wine that he took out the gold medal that His Majesty gave him. ”

"Afraid of the prince? Huh-"

As if he had heard a big joke, Emperor Tang shook his head and said, "A man who can go freely under Old Wu and penetrate the black silk clothes five hundred steps away will be afraid of the prince?" ”

A trace of doubt appeared on Wu De's face, although he had been by His Majesty's side for decades, he still couldn't guess some of the emperor's thoughts.

"That's it, he's so generous to me, I've been really stingy with him before! A county uncle, a house, this shot is shabby even for me to look at! Then let him be, this lifeless Jingzhou, let him make a fuss......"

Emperor Tang came to the door of the imperial study with his hands behind his back, looking at the stars in the sky, and a smile appeared on his face that even Wu De couldn't understand.

…………

After a while, Wu De said to Emperor Tang: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, be careful of catching a cold, let's go into the house and rest!" ”

When Emperor Tang heard this, he turned around and returned to the house, and then said to Wu De: "Wu De, early tomorrow morning, you go to the Weiguo Mansion to find Zhang Twelve and recruit him into the palace!" He took so much money from the prince, and said that he collected it for me? Then I will fulfill him! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Tang's face showed a mischievous smile.

Wu De also laughed dumbly when he heard this, and said to Emperor Tang: "This county uncle Zhang is indeed a little clever, everything he has done since he came to Jingzhou, and everyone he has beaten seems to be random and reckless, but when I think about it, it seems that there is some connection - the most important thing is that these people who were beaten by him have also been defrauded by him, which is really hilarious!" ”

As Emperor Tang's confidant, Wu De naturally knows what Emperor Tang likes and dislikes, what he likes to listen to and what he doesn't like to hear, like what he is saying about Zhang Twelve now, which is what Emperor Tang likes to hear!

Sure enough, when Emperor Tang heard this, he was a little angry, but after a while, he laughed again: "Where is he smart, he is clearly blackmailing me in my name!" No, tomorrow I have to collect his gold medal, and he will take the gold medal every day to cheat! ”

After saying this, Emperor Tang, who had calmed down, began to have a headache again......

After what happened today, Zhang Twelve and the prince have formed a bond, and with the prince's retributive character, he will definitely not spare Zhang Twelve easily!

And what about Zhang Twelve, where is he the one who is willing to suffer? If the prince doesn't let him get better, he definitely won't be better!

This is a dead end, how to break it?

Suddenly, he thought of what Wu De said at the end, King Xiang went to "smell the fragrance" to find Zhang Twelve, the two seemed to have a good conversation, and they also had dinner together, and King Xiang left after a long time in "smelling the fragrance......

There was another sigh in his heart: This prince, when will he be able to have half of King Xiang's city government, isn't it obvious that he is pushing people to King Xiang's side? It is estimated that King Xiang can wake up with a smile when he sleeps at night......

No matter, let them go, this lifeless Jingzhou, it is time for Zhang Twelve to stir it up...... I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
