Chapter 033 Foresight Colliers

When Zhang Xuan led people to go out with financial gifts, the honor guard of Li Longji and Yang Guifei left Xingqing Palace with great momentum, and Yu Linwei was forbidden to guard the streets all the way, and the crown was like a cloud and slowly walked towards the palace of Mrs. Yuguo.

At the same time, Gao Lishi, the popular eunuch of Li Longji's celebrity and hussar general Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, also rode his extremely luxurious and iconic carriage in Chang'an's high society, carrying dozens of guards and the emperor's holy decree to pardon Zhang Huan to Dali Temple.

Gao Lishi was loyal and humble all his life, cautious in his words and deeds, and can be said to be the most hardcore, popular and trusted slave around Li Longji, and the favor he received was unparalleled. Of course, being humble and loyal in front of the emperor does not mean that Colliers is as low-key in front of others.

In fact, as a close minister with authority around the emperor, Gao Lishi's pomp is still quite big. Although he is not as flamboyant as Li Linfu, few people dare to underestimate him. Even Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong were polite to him, and they didn't dare to offend him easily.

Colliers came to announce the decree, but his people had not yet come, but the message had already arrived.

Therefore, outside the yamen of Dali Temple, Xu Qiao, the secretary of Dali Temple, led a cadre of Dali Temple to wait at the door early, and saw Gao Lishi's chariot and horse procession, Xu Qiao hurriedly and respectfully led everyone to take three steps forward, and shouted loudly, "Xu Qiao, the secretary of Dali Temple, greets the general!" ”

There was a moment of silence in the car. Immediately, Gao Lishi's deep and somewhat strange magnetic voice came, "Hehe, there are Lord Lao Xu and all the adults waiting, how dare our family?" You're welcome—"

As he spoke, the two house slaves hurriedly stepped forward to put down the sedan curtain for Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi poked his head forward, and the round face with a red light was very moist, and his small eyes were squinted, full of amiable smiles.

But Xu Qiao and others know that Colliers' affinable appearance is also deceptive to a considerable extent, and if anyone wants to regard Colliers as the kind of "good old man" with a soft and gentle personality, it is a big mistake.

With the support of the two house slaves, Gao Lishi's slightly obese body slowly got out of the car, glanced at Xu Qiao and the others, and the light in his eyes flashed.

"Okay, our family has limited time, and we have to go to Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion to serve, so I won't be polite with you adults - the holy decree has arrived, and Xu Qiao, the secretary of Dali Temple, will receive the decree ......."

……

……

The process of announcing the decree was very simple, and after the announcement, Colliers left in a hurry. Only Xu Qiao and the others, who stood in place with stunned and shocked faces, looked at each other and couldn't say a word.

The emperor actually pardoned Zhang Huan!

According to the past practice, Zhang Huan's imprisonment was the result of Li Linfu's henchman Ji Wen's "operation", and nominally a major case involving the prince of the East Palace, if the emperor really wanted to pardon, he must have communicated with Li Linfu first, and Li Linfu would greet Xu Qiao in advance. But this time, there was obviously no news from Li Linfu's side, and the emperor's decree arrived unusually.

And it was Gao Lishi himself who came to announce the decree, and the specifications were quite high.

Seeing Gao Lishi leaving, Xu Qiao did not dare to slack off, and while ordering people to carry out the emperor's will and release Zhang Huan, he quietly sent people to the Li Mansion to pass on the information to Li Linfu.

Let's talk about Colliers first.

Although he is a eunuch in the palace, he has his own prosperous and grand residence outside the palace, covering a wide area, and his momentum is more than that of the ordinary Tang magnates.

When I arrived at the door of the mansion, I saw that in the small square in front of the mansion, a carriage stood solemnly on one side, and a young man wearing a green shirt with a beautiful posture and a calm temperament who looked less than a weak crown stood with a long body, and two domestic servants stood behind him.

It was Zhang Xuan.

He did not rush directly to the mansion of Mrs. Yuguo, but went the opposite way and came to the mansion of the great general of Gao Lishi, asking to see Gao Lishi. Hearing that Gao Lishi went out to announce the decree, he has been waiting here quietly.

Gao Lishi had actually seen Zhang Xuan a long time ago, but he didn't know Zhang Xuan, and was guessing whose young man this was his brother, who came to him to ask for a career in the spring of the coming year.

Such young people, especially those from upper-class families, often come to Gao Lishi for recommendations, and Gao Lishi has long been surprised.

Gao Lishi got out of the car and was about to enter the house surrounded by a group of house slaves and guards without squinting, but he heard a clear and powerful voice behind him: "Xiao Ke Zhang Xuan, meet the general!" ”

"Zhang Xuan? Zhang Xuan, the youngest son of Zhang Jiuling's family? Gao Lishi was stunned, then stopped and turned back to stare at Zhang Xuan, who bowed and saluted, his eyes flickered slightly.

Before these two days, he really didn't know who Zhang Xuan was, but now Zhang Xuan has some impressions in his heart.

Gao Lishi looked at Zhang Xuan deeply, and said lightly and reservedly, "Our family knows that the Holy Son has summoned the little brother of the Zhang family to go to Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion to drink and serve today, but now you don't go to Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion, why do you come to our house?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled respectfully, took a few steps forward and bowed again, "Back to the general's words, Zhang Xuan is afraid of losing his manners when he sees him driving for the first time...... I hereby came to ask the general for advice, and asked the general to look at his father's face and give him a lesson or two. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xuan got up and turned back to the two servants with a look. The two servants hurriedly carried down the treasure chest containing a fine gold artifact and handed it to the servants of the Colliers Mansion, and at the same time presented an exquisite gift list.

Colliers turned a blind eye and did not refuse. He doesn't have much fault with this person, it is a problem of greed for money and good things, and all those who come to give gifts will be killed, of course, he will give people worries and solve problems depending on the weight of the gift, and the so-called receiving money and wealth will eliminate disasters for people. As long as it's not too important, he sends a post to it, and it's done.

It's just that Zhang Xuan chose to suddenly come to give him a gift at this time, and instead of asking for something, he just expressed some kind of respectful and friendly gesture in the name of asking for the elders' teaching, which made Gao Lishi still feel a little surprised.

Gao Lishi looked at Zhang Xuan playfully, seeing that Zhang Xuan's eyes were calm and sincere, and his temperament was elegant and calm, and another strange feeling slowly floated in his heart: this young man is not simple, he is very different!

Gao Lishi didn't have a good impression of Zhang Xuan because of his gifts. He has been in the palace for decades, no one has ever seen it, and he has not passed through any world occasion, Zhang Xuan sent a box of belongings, which will not interfere with his normal thinking and judgment.

It's just that Zhang Xuan's gesture of giving gifts and the grasp of this timing - choosing to come at this specific time period seems extraordinary and profound.

If it was before, Gao Lishi might not take it in his eyes, and even if he received the courtesy, he might not speak for Zhang Huan and the Zhang family; But now, with Mrs. Qiu Guo coming forward, Zhang Huan has been pardoned by the emperor, the crisis of the Zhang family has been resolved, and Zhang Xuan himself has successfully won the favor and attention of the emperor - it is said that Zhang Xuan has no need, no need to curry favor with him.

But Zhang Xuan came anyway - this aroused Gao Lishi's inexplicable favor, and at the same time aroused his interest.

Gao Lishi's eyes flickered for a moment before he smiled, "The little brother of the Zhang family is a wonderful person...... Okay, well, our family used to be a confidant and good friend with my father Zhang Xiang, a minister of the palace, and the little brother is considered the younger generation of our family - let's go, come into the house, and after our family changes clothes, we will go to Mrs. Yuguo to meet the saint, on the way, our family will tell you the rules of the palace. ”

Gao Lishi actually grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand affectionately and entered the mansion side by side with Zhang Xuan, which surprised the subordinates in the general's mansion.

There are really not many people who have had this kind of treatment.
