Chapter 201: Bad News and Good News

Although the king of the Ming Dynasty is noble, he does not anticipate civil affairs, even if it is the prestige of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was in Beiping at the beginning, he is still not immune to the Beiping capital division and the Beiping political division, so the Han king's question, although Zhang Qian and Liu Zhong were full of suspicion, they were still vague and vague in the past, and Mu Ning and Zhang Yue were silent. When they got out of the Han Palace, Liu Zhong and Mu Ning had something to leave under the pretext that they had something to do, and Zhang Qian took advantage of the situation to invite Zhang Yue to the same car. As soon as he lowered the thick pine-colored cotton curtain, he removed the smile from his face.

"Lord Xiao Zhang, now that the King of Han has said that there is no need to investigate the assassination, he will go to explain it to the emperor, and you will put this matter aside for the time being. It's just that there is one thing you need to remember, according to the vacancy of the judge's yamen has not been filled yet, and the Qingzhou Mansion is the same, this snake is headless, although it seems to have nothing to do with you, but this is your future boss after all. ”

Because of a hot potato, Zhang Yue was originally full of thoughts about the assassination of King Han, but now although the solution is not very satisfactory, he is satisfied to be able to leave him, so when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He was able to temporarily leave the affairs of the Anqiu County Government because it was arranged at the beginning, and there was also the history of Ma Cheng and more than a dozen long-term entourages who were proficient in various affairs, but the affairs of the judge and the Qingzhou Mansion were not only a hundred times more complicated than the affairs of the county government? It's snowing every day these days, and no one in the government can take care of it......

Zhang Qian knew that Zhang Yue was young, and when he told him this, he just hoped that Zhang Yue would be able to inform Zhang Fu of his ideas when he turned around, after all, this big mansion vacancy is not always a way. The next road was much easier for him, after all, he came down this time to comfort the King of Han to investigate the assassination case, and he didn't need to ask more about the rest, and this return to Beijing was just around the corner. Although he was extremely curious about what King Han would report to the imperial court, it had nothing to do with him after all. So he was happy to gossip, and talked a lot about overseas things with Zhang Yue.

Due to the difficulty of walking on the snowy road, it was already dusk when I arrived at the yamen of the Qingzhou prefect. Zhang Yue got out of the car first, and then Zhang Qian also jumped off with the driver's hand. Zhang Yue was about to say goodbye to Zhang Qian and rush back to the inn, but unexpectedly, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little eunuch trotted up to meet him, with joy on his face.

"Father-in-law Zhang, an urgent report has just come from Beijing, saying that Siam, Champang, Java, Sumatra, Nibala, Manraka, Nanboli, Harai, Shahru, Trilida, and Samarkand have sent envoys to pay tribute. Because Gonggong Zheng has not come back. The rest of the palace is not as familiar with these foreign affairs as you, so the Ministry of Rites asked the emperor to urgently summon you back to Beijing. ”

This series of names was difficult to remember, and Zhang Yue barely remembered five or six after listening to it, but the little eunuch spoke fluently. Zhang Qian himself was promoted all the way up from handling Western affairs, and his expression immediately lifted when he heard this. This time he came to Shandong because he had no choice but to do it, and he naturally hoped to go back and do those familiar things. After taking the official document from the little eunuch's hand, he turned his head and smiled at Zhang Yue.

"Lord Zhang. Looks like I'm going to have to leave tomorrow! ”

Although Zhang Yue understood that the Han King Zhu Gaoxu had expressed his attitude that the assassination case would most likely be over, he still felt that this was not a powder keg that had been extinguished, but a fuse that had just ignited a spark. Zhang Qian will leave like this tomorrow. Qingzhou Mansion can be called a group of dragons without a leader, in case something happens, Jinan Mansion's political secretary Yuanshui can't save the fire, what should I do at that time?

"Grandpa Zhang is ready to leave early tomorrow morning?"

Seeing Zhang Yue's face change. finally spit out such a sentence, Zhang Qian didn't know what he thought. After all, it was he who started such a head on the road, and now he is chic when he walks away, and this mess is completely ignored but it can't be explained. After a little hesitation, he finally came up with a temporary solution.

"I will first go to Liu Dushuai, the capital of Shandong, and then go to the political envoy Du Bu and Zhang Bu when I pass through Jinan, plus I will jointly write a letter to urge. It must have some effect. When I return to Beijing, I will ask the British public to advise me again. Anqiu is not far from Qingzhou Mansion, I will talk to Jinyi Wei Mu Zhenfu at that time, if there is any news, I will notify you directly. All in all, this case is the same dust as the light, neither outstanding nor muddy, as long as you manage your Anqiu mess well, no one can find faults. Other than that. As long as the assassination case remains inconclusive. As long as there is still no chief official according to the judge, then according to the judge's seal, I will let you keep it first. This matter is the emperor's holy message. You still do what you are told, and no one else has anything to say. ”

The big seal of the county is a copper seal of two inches and one minute thick and three points thick, and although the big seal of the judge is also a copper seal, it is two inches and seven minutes thick and six points thick, and it is still heavy in the hand. Zhang Yue knew that Zhang Qian had done his best to make arrangements, but he couldn't cry or laugh while sitting in the carriage holding the copper seal. The matter is done, and he also returned it to Zhang Qian after half of the Qin Mission, how can this thing be returned to him? What does he want this thing to do with a magistrate, smash people's heads and play?

Back at the inn, Zhang Yue handed over the heavy big seal and the green cloth burden to Peng Shisan to take care of, and then went straight to the backyard to go to the room. Because of the reward and additional orders, the shopkeepers are the first-class supplies of charcoal. As soon as the curtain was opened, he felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, driving away the cold from his body.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and the green gauze curtain on the bed against the wall was completely hanging to the ground, and the shadows could not see the people in it, but the autumn marks on the chair curled up and sleeping soundly.

Zhang Yue casually took off the damp cloak on his body and threw it aside, and saw a dark green half-sleeved cloak on the back of the chair next to Qiu Zhen, so he picked it up and gently covered her body. At this moment, he heard the person who was sleeping softly muttering: "Amber, sleep well, the young master will be back......"

Seeing that Qiu Zhen was still not old in his sleep, and gently wrinkled his small and firm nose as if he was awake, Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh dumbly, so he left her and tiptoed to the bed, and gently opened the green curtain. He thought Amber was asleep, but she was awake and her eyes were fixed on him. Although she was in good spirits, her complexion was worse than when he left yesterday, except that she had lost the delicate red of the first fever.

"Why did you wake up? Since we are sick, we will sleep a little longer, and we will go back to Anqiu tomorrow. ”

Zhang Yue, who felt that something was wrong, sat down on the edge of the bed, and then comforted him softly. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt his hand being held tightly, and he couldn't help but shiver with the cold and piercing feeling on that hand. Seeing that Amber not only rested his arms on the outside, but also exposed most of his shoulders and neck, he immediately frowned, and tucked the corners of the quilt with his other hand.

"Since they are all sick, why don't they take care of themselves so much, what if they get frosty again?"

Amber stared at Zhang Yue intently, and only muttered after a long time: "Young master, it seems that I have been following you for six years......"

"It's going to be seven years after the Chinese New Year." Zhang Yue vaguely felt a little ominous, so he smiled and said with relief, "Everyone has changed a lot in the past seven years, and the autumn marks have become more and more refreshing, but you are getting more and more stuffy." Although there is a destiny in this world, it still depends on people's opinions, you don't always drill the horns of the bull, and keep everything in your heart! After all these years of getting along day and night, you should trust me and yourself! Take good care of your illness, and when you are cured, I will take you and Autumn Marks to Mount Tai! ”

Amber's eyes lit up, and then they darkened again. Although she wanted to tell the truth, the words slipped down every time they came to her lips. Her life alone doesn't matter, but it involves the Qiu family, even though she knows that Zhang Yue has always been a person to bear, but how can he be burdened by that huge relationship? She clenched her fists fiercely, letting the sharp nails pinch her palms, until the unforgettable stinging pain hit her in bursts, and she finally made up her mind.

She must live, she must live, whether it is for herself, for her family, or for ...... These people still care about her!

"Young master, rest assured, this flower is delicate, but the wild grass and wild flowers have always been tough, and the slave maid ...... Can't die! ”

"What kind of analogy are you fighting!" Seeing that Amber seemed to have a strong ambition, Zhang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he gently put her hand back into the quilt, and instructed, "Sleep well, relax, my head is much taller than yours, and I will hold it when the sky falls!" ”

Seeing Amber nodding and closing his eyes, Zhang Yue stood up and put down the green curtain again. When he turned around to get out of the house, he glanced at it, but saw that the autumn mark covering the cloak was already awake, and he was looking at him in a daze. Looking at the sleepy-eyed face, which revealed infinite affection, he walked over.

"It's a cold day, go back to the room and sleep for two hours, it's been hard for you these days."

"Young master, do you really want to take us to Mount Tai?"

After saying so much, Qiu Zhen only heard this sentence, Zhang Yue was angry and funny, so he lowered his face and said: "Then you all have to take care of your bodies, I don't want to climb half of the way by then, and then I have to carry the two of you up!" Hurry back to sleep, recharge your energy, and go to Mount Tai in the coming day! ”

Autumn Scar was full of joy at this time, so he nodded vigorously, stood up and stretched hard, and went straight out of the room with his cloak in his arms. As soon as she walked away, Zhang Yue was about to ask someone to guard the door, but the curtain outside was suddenly knocked open, but it was Peng Shisan. As soon as Peng Shisan entered the room, he first glanced at the bed with a green curtain hanging over there, and then pulled Zhang Yue out of the door.

As soon as he arrived outside, he smiled and said: "Young master, Master Liu of the Dusi Yamen sent someone to make a post, saying that there is a birthday in his family today, so please go over and be lively, and bring two sentences." One is that you are never allowed to give gifts, otherwise you will be driven back; Second, there is great news for you. ”
