Chapter 008 Qujiang Chishang Poetry Wine Banquet (2)

Early the next morning, after getting up and washing up under the waiting, Zhang Xuan went to the front yard to summon the servant Zhang Li, and drove to Qujiangchi.

As soon as Zhang Xuan walked with his front foot, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao entered the door with their back foot.

Zhang Jiuming's face was not very good-looking, and Zhang Jiugao simply had a gloomy face, frowned, and sat in the living room of Zhang's mansion without saying a word.

As soon as Liu and Zhang Ning saw this posture, they guessed that the news that the two of them had inquired from the palace was not good, and their hearts immediately sank.

Liu Shi was also silent, and his heart was panicked. She is a woman after all, and at this time, she is still out of proportion after all, and she doesn't know where to go.

In the end, Zhang Ning had a deep brotherly relationship, and was worried about the future and fate of the whole family in Zhangfu, so he took the initiative to get up and sang a big song to the two uncles, and said respectfully, "Uncle, I don't know what the news in the palace is?" ”

Zhang Jiugao waved his hand irritably, but he didn't make a sound.

Zhang Jiuming sighed, stared at Zhang Ning and groaned for a while, but turned his head to look at Liu and smiled reluctantly, "Sister-in-law, I don't know where Xuan'er is?" ”

Liu was stunned, and immediately ordered someone to call Zhang Xuan over.

After a while, Ruyan walked into the hall lightly, saluted several masters in the hall, and said softly, "Old lady, the third prince went out to Qujiangchi early in the morning to participate in Mrs. Qiuguo's poetry and wine banquet." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. She quickly waved her hand and motioned for Ruyan to retreat.

Mrs. Qiuguo's banquet in Qujiangchi is a recent event in Chang'an City, and Zhang Jiuming doesn't know it. If it weren't for Zhang Huan to do this kind of thing, Zhang Jiuming might have gone to join in the fun. But now, how can you be in this mood? But Zhang Xuan went.

Zhang Jiuming couldn't help but shake his head and sighed again.

He just felt that Zhang Xuan's performance yesterday was very different from usual, his speech was quite insightful, his manners were moderate, and he thought that the prodigal son really turned back, so he subconsciously wanted Zhang Xuan to be present to participate in the deliberations of Zhang's mansion...... I didn't think it was a joy in vain!

Zhang Jiugao raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart, "It's really a dog can't change the ****, the embroidered pillow is always an embroidered pillow, at this time, this guy can still have the leisure to run out and pretend to be Sven to participate in the poetry and wine banquet!" The poor brother was famous, but he gave birth to such an indisputable son...... It's sad and lamentable! ”

Although he was quite dissatisfied and emotional, the matter was urgent, and Zhang Jiuming didn't care about continuing to entangle Zhang Xuan.

He said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, Yihe, someone has entered the palace to inquire about the news...... The situation is very bad today. It is said that because of the implication in the East Palace again, the saint was furious, and issued three holy edicts in succession ordering Dali Temple to investigate and deal with it strictly and quickly. Looking at the meaning of the saint, I am afraid that he is going to cut through the chaos quickly and calm the matter......"

Zhang Jiugao also raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Who is Xu Qiao of Dali Temple, everyone knows it. Although this person is mediocre and incompetent, he is ruthless and is a sworn friend of Jiwen...... This time, Licheng is in the hands of Xu Qiao and Ji Wen, and I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. ”

Zhang Jiuming resolutely took the case, "So for now, I can't hesitate anymore." We immediately brought gifts and cheekily came to the door to ask to see Li Xiu, and asked Li Xiu to introduce Li Xiang. In today's court, the only one who can influence the judgment of the saint and suppress Xu Qiao Jiwen and his party is Li Xiang. As long as Li Xiangken speaks, Licheng may still have a glimmer of life. ”

"The most unfortunate ......" Zhang Jiuming swallowed back when he said the words to his mouth, although some words are true, but they still can't be said after all.

Zhang Jiugao glanced at his brother with complicated eyes, and sighed in his heart. He understood what Zhang Jiuming meant, Li Linfu was greedy for money, as long as Li Linfu was willing to accept the heavy gift of the Zhang family, Zhang Huan might not be able to keep it, but the Zhang family would not be implicated.

Liu Shi and Zhang Ning glanced at each other, got up and saluted Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, "But it's up to the two uncles to decide." ”

"Without further ado, I'll rush to Prime Minister Li's mansion. I heard that Li Xiang was recuperating in the house recently, and he happened to come to the door in the name of visiting the sick. Zhang Jiuming waved his hand, "Third brother, you are familiar with Li Xiu, let's go together!" ”

"Okay." Zhang Jiugao nodded silently.

The two walked out of the living room of Zhang's mansion side by side, Zhang Jiuming walked a few steps and suddenly turned his head and frowned at Liu's and said softly, "Sister-in-law, order someone to call Xuan'er back to the mansion, this moment is not as good as before, our Zhang family should not show up outside or even cause trouble......"

Ryu nodded.

After Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao hurriedly left Zhang's mansion with a carriage full of generous gifts and rushed to Li Linfu's mansion, Liu summoned a servant and instructed him to immediately rush to Qujiangchi to find the third son, Zhang Xuan, and ordered him to return to the mansion immediately and not linger outside.

**************************************

To the southeast of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the Qujiang River that Zhang Xuan has loved for a long time. This beautiful royal garden, with its singing and dancing, reverberates throughout the Tang Dynasty.

The spring festival opens the list and gives a banquet to Qujiang, which is a major event that Chang'an people talk about. In addition, throughout the year, dignitaries and dignitaries also linger here, invite friends to drink and feast, and stay up all night.

The so-called "the weather is new on March 3, and there are many beautiful people on the waterside of Chang'an", and the so-called "Manchurian appreciation of Fangchen, flying hooves and re-walking wheels", it is said that this is the place.

Today is July 18, which is not a special season. But now is the day when Mrs. Qiuguo, the sister of Yang Guifei's mother, is the master to invite the nobles of Chang'an and even the scholars of Mancheng to have a poetry and wine banquet, with the power and supreme appeal of Mrs. Qiu, the scale and grade of this social activity are actually not much worse than the banquet given by Emperor Chunqiu.

Rushed to Qujiang Pond and looked at it on the spot, Zhang Xuan then understood what it meant to "bottle pot wine pulp, sheng song painting boat, colorful hooves and green curtains, and turn on the embankment." Fresh cars and horses, shoulder to shoulder. ”

The dignitaries and dignitaries walked into the Hibiscus Garden proudly, the scholars and literati were well-dressed and well-dressed in groups on the bank of the river, and the women wore low-cut long skirts, put on open shirts, draped thin shawls, and combed high hairstyles to come and go, singing and dancing, and laughter and laughter were floating all over the sky.

There are also colorful boat parades, singing of laughing warblers, long-sleeved dancers, entertainers who drill fire, and vendors shouting and buying.

Zhang Xuan stood at the entrance of the Hibiscus Garden, breathtaking and emotional, and did not enter the garden immediately.

was looking left and right, but heard a hoarse call from behind him, "Third son...... Three sons! ”

Zhang Xuan glanced back, and saw Zhang Xiang, a servant of the Zhang Mansion, trotting over from the bank of the river, and came close to gasp and said, "Third son, the old lady ordered me to come to the son, saying that there is something important in the house, and I want the son to go back to the house quickly." ”

Zhang Xuan frowned, looked at Zhang Xiang and said lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Xiang stepped forward and lowered his voice and said softly, "Third Prince, there is news from the palace that the Holy Lord is angry...... The two elders had already brought gifts to Li Xiang's mansion to ask for help. The old lady asked the son to go back to the house immediately......"

Zhang Xuan gasped when he heard this, and couldn't help but stomp his feet. I was anxious and secretly complained, my heart didn't let you calm down and wait, why did you suddenly change your mind again?

actually went to beg Li Linfu, what a childish and ridiculous behavior!

Li Linfu was the initiator, he hated to make things bigger, so as to pull the prince Li Heng off the horse, how could he care about Zhang Huan's?

But it's one thing for Li Linfu to take care of it, and it's another thing for the Zhang family to take the initiative to take refuge in the Li family. No matter what the final result is, the Zhang family may get involved with Li Linfu, who is on the verge of destruction, and become a thorn in the side of Yang Guozhong and others, and be disastrously implicated!

This is not unfounded. If Li Linfu is a powerful minister or a traitor, there are still some rules; But his "successor" Yang Guozhong is purely a villain, acting unscrupulously and unscrupulously. Otherwise, Li Linfu in history would not have died well, and his family would have been sent to exile, and many people would have been implicated.

It's a branch! In this way, Zhang Xuan was forced to have no way out, and there was only one way left to take risks.
