Chapter 258: Between Civil and Military

Although they have only been separated for half a year, Zhang Qian and Zhang Yue have lost a little weight compared to last year. During the Chinese New Year, Siam, Champang, Java, Sumatra, Nibala, Manraka, Namboli, Harai, Shaharu, Trilida, and Samarkand jointly paid tribute. Even if he worked well, he almost couldn't survive that time, and then he rested for several days. As for Zhang Yue, not to mention, he almost never encountered anything smooth in his office.

At this moment, after the two of them met, the guests and hosts sat down, and a small servant tiptoed out after serving tea. Zhang Qian is a frequent visitor to the British Mansion, glanced at Biluo standing behind Zhang Yue, and knew that this was Mrs. Wang's confidant and maidservant, so he naturally knew it in his heart, so you came and I politely said two words and said the right thing directly.

"It's been a few days since the third prince came back, but I've been wondering why there has been no movement since he came back? In fact, because of this incident, the emperor has been angry several times. The king of Han harassed the place along the way by boat into Beijing, but he angered the emperor, issued an edict not to enter Beijing, and rushed back to Le'an Prefecture. Just today, the imperial historian who was impeached by the Imperial Court was sentenced to thirty court rods and lost most of his life, but no one could match him if he was unlucky. In contrast, your teacher is still staying in Jinyiwei, and you yourself are even more comfortable staying at home, which can be said to be extremely lucky. ”

Zhang Yue was originally a little dissatisfied with his inexplicable impeachment, but at this time, when he heard that Yongle Emperor Zhu Di actually used the court staff for this purpose, he couldn't help but be moved. After pondering for a long time, he asked tentatively: "Gonggong Zhang, what is the emperor's attitude towards this?" ”

"During today's court discussion, the emperor was holding on to the imperial history that he had not played a few words in March, but when he wrote and said things, he used many untruthful words to be alarmist, and did not say anything else. It's just that the two imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are very dissatisfied with this, and they argue with reason, and they also take out the matter of Lord Du's overstepping the promotion at the beginning, and finally the emperor brushes his sleeves away, and orders the court staff, and those people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are silent. In fact, it is not just this one thing that makes the emperor angry......"

Zhang Qian pondered for a moment, thinking that Zhang Yue had done him a great favor that day, and his friendship with the Zhang family was extraordinary, so he simply said honestly: "Before Meng Xian raised the bad deeds of the King of Han, several lords and ministers had a lot of complaints about it, saying that Meng Xian had bad intentions to watch the vassal king, and the pressure on the Marquis of Baoding was not small, so he didn't dare to try to intercede, and King Zhao was also punished for this. Now that Lord Du is making such a fuss with you, many people among the generals and ministers think that it is a big fuss. If you weren't for the nephew of the British family, those heroes alone would have made you unable to eat and walk around. ”

Hearing these words, Zhang Yue suddenly realized, and he was still vigilant in his heart - the king of Han is now in Le'an, and there is still such influence among the military generals and ministers in the capital? In other words, there are still so many people who are optimistic about the King of Han, and they can even turn a blind eye to those conclusive evidence of guilt?

Thinking of this, he simply stood up and pretended to be full of anger and said: "Lord Du was impartial in the past, and this career is a dignified and upright military horse of the Dusi Yamen, not to intentionally involve the King of Han!" ”

"Lord Du's character is still trustworthy to the emperor, if he was originally the prince's person, after Jinyiwei escorted him back to Beijing, the first thing the emperor would do was to kill someone!" Zhang Qian's tone suddenly deepened, and he explained, "This time, many heroes and generals have met the emperor in private, and the words are very clear. Even if the king of Han can't be the prince, after all, he has made countless meritorious contributions with the emperor in the past, and he can't let the civil officials be humiliated, so this matter is actually a civil and military dispute. ”

Isn't this the upper line?

The dumbfounded Zhang Yue couldn't help but stand there at this time, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, because he slammed towards Zhang Qian and hit the ground deeply. If it weren't for Zhang Qian's frequent attendant Zhu Di's side, this kind of truth would not be able to be explained; Seeing that people only say three points, if it weren't for Zhang Qian who had inherited the affection between the late Zhang Guifei and Zhang Fu, and had some good fate with him, this kind of thing would never be said to him at this time. Fortunately, he didn't rush around to worship the door and find a way when he came back this time, otherwise he would have to kill Du Zhen!

Zhang Qian naturally didn't inadvertently bump into Zhang Yue here, he had already learned in advance that he was in the British Mansion, so he took advantage of this trip to bring what he wanted to say. At this time, he was busy helping Zhang Yue up, he smiled and said a few other words, and then followed Zhang Yue and Biluo to the main room of Mrs. Wang's north courtyard.

It turned out that Biluo's previous guess was half right, although the doctor did not publicize it everywhere, but after Mrs. Deng went back, she entered the palace again, and after she publicized it like this, now everyone knows about it.

Although there is nothing unspeakable about this matter, and she really hopes to have another son, Mrs. Wang still feels a little unhappy about Mrs. Deng's behavior. However, this time Zhang Qian sent gifts on behalf of several concubines in the palace, she naturally didn't say anything, and after thanking her, she instructed Xiyu to prepare a return gift, and kept Zhang Qian to talk again, and waited until everything was ready to stop, so she simply told Zhang Yue to give Zhang Qian a ride when he went out.

As soon as the people left here, Mrs. Wang asked Zhang Qian, the leader of Biluo, what he said to Zhang Yue in Wuyingtang. When she heard Bi Luo repeat the original script, she frowned thoughtfully.

After parting ways with Zhang Qian at the gate of the British Mansion, Zhang Yue got on his horse and went straight home. At this time, it was already night, not far from the curfew, and there were extremely few pedestrians on the road, however, when he and Peng Shisan jumped off the horse at the door of the house, they saw several carriages parked at the door. Looking at the sky, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, jumped off and immediately went to the door, and casually beckoned a door to ask, only then did he know that Mrs. Baoding Hou was still at home.

"Mrs. Baoding Hou and the eldest lady came together, and they have been talking in the room all the time after having dinner with the old lady, and the third young master walks a few steps slowly, and they can still meet at the Hanging Flower Gate."

In the past, although the eldest sister Zhang Qing often came back, Mrs. Baoding Hou was rare, so at this time, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard the explanation. Walking along the road, when he saw the Hanging Flower Gate in the atrium, he saw a number of lanterns lit there, as if someone was seeing him off there, and hurriedly hurried a few steps forward.

It was Feng and Dongfang's concubines who came out to send each other, Feng didn't look around, but Dongfang's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhang Yue at a glance, so he greeted with a smile: "Yo, it's Brother Yue who is back, this is really a coincidence!" ”

Baoding Hou's wife Lu rarely goes out on weekdays, that is, when Zhang Yue was in Nanjing, she went to Baoding Hou's Mansion for a few days, so she also met a few times. At this time, seeing Zhang Yue come forward to say hello, she looked carefully at it for a while by the light of the lantern, and then smiled: "Sure enough, it's hard outside, Brother Yue looks thinner than before." Good boy, if you hadn't been responsible, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law and nephews and nieces would have suffered this time. ”

After Zhang Qian's reminder before, Zhang Yue naturally knew at this time that Meng Ying, Marquis of Baoding, could not talk about seeing death and not saving - encountering such a troublesome thing, and most of them belonged to Meng Xian who committed suicide, and it was impossible to blame Baoding Hou at all. Therefore, at this time, Mrs. Lu suddenly came up with such a word of thanks, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"When this matter comes to an end, everyone falls into the well, and it is really not easy for you to be young."

Mrs. Lu is an authentic woman, and she doesn't understand the big things outside, she only thinks that the more she looks at Zhang, the more satisfied she is, and she thinks that if her niece Meng Min and his marriage can be successful, it will be a match made in heaven, she took Zhang Yue's hand and said a few words, she remembered that she was ready to leave at this time, and after a moment of silence, she opened her mouth and invited: "You might as well have more contacts with your family in the future, Brother Jun'er's younger brothers are naughty, you can have more contacts with them in the future, so that they can learn the truth." ”

Although he didn't know how long he could stay in Beijing, when Mrs. Lu said so, Zhang Yue naturally agreed. Zhang Qing accompanied her mother-in-law out this time, and it was not good to talk much, so she only had time to take care of Zhang Yue and be more careful, and then helped Mrs. Lu away. Everyone on the door watched Mrs. Lu and her party leave, until the light of the lantern gradually disappeared, and then they turned around and walked inside.

Although Dongfang is now a second-grade lady, people always have a long Wangshu, and Mrs. Lu, who is similar in age to herself but is already Mrs. Hou, she naturally has a lot of envy in her heart. After all, even if it is the old lady Gu's, the top of the command is still incomparable to the other party. She has always been the most utilitarian, and she is even more unhappy when she thinks that the gifts Mrs. Lu gave to each room are exactly the same regardless of thickness. When Zhang Yue mentioned the happy event of today's British Mansion, she was slightly stunned and muttered.

"This is really good news, first is an aunt on the third brother's side, and then the one in the old man's room, and now even the British duchess has it, dare to love this year, it is really our turn to import Zhangjia Tianding."

As soon as the words fell, a young daughter-in-law hurriedly came over with a lantern, and after standing still, she hurriedly curtsied and shouted: "Second wife, Aunt Fang vomited badly, and the second master said to hurry up and invite a doctor to take a look!" ”

"It's so late, can't you stop for a while!" Dongfang's face suddenly lengthened, and he reluctantly ordered an elderly mother next to him to send out to ask for a doctor, and sneered, "Who in this family has never had this time, partial birth is her favorite toss, and now it is like this before the time of production, and it will be more noble in the future!" ”

"Second brother and sister, she fell into the water first and the fetus was unstable, so it is also appropriate to ask a doctor to take a look." Feng really couldn't get used to Dongfang's face, so he immediately stabbed next to him, "People are also from noble backgrounds, and they can't make people laugh at our Zhang family's reluctance to even invite a doctor!" The second brother and sister should hurry back to the room to have a look, the old lady has me to go back. ”

After she finished speaking, she nodded to Zhang Yue: "Brother Yue, the old lady said that you would go to the north courtyard to go to the room after you go back, let's go first." ”

Seeing that Dongfang's face was blue, Zhang Yue really didn't want to look at people's faces here, so he agreed and hurriedly followed Feng's to slip away, remembering what Feng Yuanming said after diagnosing his pulse at that time.

According to Feng Yuanming, this Aunt Fang is not only physically strong, but also very proficient in water, otherwise she was pregnant with Liujia when she fell into the water, and now the child in her belly will not be able to be saved. Qianguo Gong Mu Sheng is really a good big matchmaker!
