"The emperor sees the queen mother!" Li Department knelt down and gave a big gift to the Queen Mother, I heard that the Queen Mother Zhang sent someone to find Zhang Huan, Li Department realized that something was wrong, yesterday Zhang Huan was in the limelight, and he appreciated it, but there were many people who hated it, especially Cui Yuan's family.

The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for more than ten years, and rarely receives foreign ministers, it is just an occasional meeting, and it is also determined by the court, it is the first time to take the initiative to summon a newcomer like this, even if Zhang Huanfeng is an officer of the Yulin Army, but it is still unusual to meet alone, Li Department is worried that the Queen Mother has heard some rumors, and does something extreme without understanding the situation, which will ruin his big thing.

Things are indeed just as he was worried about, the Queen Mother dismissed Zhang Huan's official position, he was a step too late to stop it, how could the Queen Mother's words be easily withdrawn.

"The queen mother, the emperor understands the mood of the queen mother, but Zhang Huan is the emperor just sealed yesterday, and today the queen mother will dismiss his official, if it spreads, those who don't know will think that it is the emperor and queen who are not in harmony, which is not conducive to the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and I hope the queen mother will think twice."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Li Department coldly, and didn't say a word for a long time, today's Tang Dynasty Emperor, the person who helped her on the throne with her own hands, would she really give an order for a six-grade petty official to contradict her for the first time in more than ten years? Did he really not understand the importance of this order for him? No! He should know, so why did he knowingly commit it when he knew? Empress Dowager Zhang's cold eyes gradually became as sharp as a knife, and there was only one explanation for the matter, he did not want to see himself regain power.

"Does the emperor want the mourning family to take back their lives?"

"The emperor doesn't dare, it's just ....."

Li Department sighed secretly, he had heard the queen mother's dissatisfaction, so he bit the second half of the sentence, now is the time for him to show his strength, if there is a fire in the backyard, it will do him no good, on the one hand, it is his own painstaking arrangement, on the other hand, the queen mother's arrogance, or not! It's up to her first, and then another arrangement will be made afterwards.

Thinking of this, Li Department glanced back at Zhang Huan, and said helplessly: "The queen mother's will is under the will, how can the emperor stop it, but the emperor is quite sorry for this Zhang Huan, can you allow me to take him away and appease him." ”

"The kindness of a woman!" Empress Dowager Zhang coldly dropped a sentence and turned around and went into the inner room.

The eunuch Zhu Guanghui secretly glanced at the Li family, an imperceptible sneer flashed in his eyes, and followed the queen mother into the inner room.

．．．．．．．

"Zhang Huan, I can't stop this matter." In the imperial study, Li looked out the window melancholy, and sighed lightly for a long time.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this, Zhang Huan doesn't care."

Zhang Huan bowed and bowed, he smiled lightly: "Although the minister also wants to get ahead and serve His Majesty, the false position of a Guoyi Lieutenant is not what Zhang Huan wants, it binds my hands and feet, and the Queen Mother actually dismisses it." ”

"I'm glad you think so." Li Shi's tone was flat, but there was no sense of relief, after a pause, he suddenly whispered: "You have no grudge against the Queen Mother, but today the Queen Mother suddenly had a problem, I am deeply puzzled, can you solve my doubts?" ”

"The minister is also confused, and he doesn't know why the queen mother has a seizure."

"Do you really not know?"

Li suddenly turned his head, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly waved his hand, ordering everyone in the room to retreat.

"You tell me the truth!" Li sat back on the royal couch and looked at this rising star of the Zhang family, who could be designated as the heir of the head of the Zhang family by Zhang Ruohao and Zhang Potian at the same time, he must also have something extraordinary, it should be more than just dare to burn back the military rations of the Su family.

Zhang Huan saw that the people around him were gone, so he smiled slightly and said: "The queen mother is a bit far-fetched to deal with Weichen with the crime of disrespect, of course, she may be because the minister has offended the lord of Qinghe, and the excuse of disrespect is to make trouble, which is understandable, but the minister did that thing in the front, and she canonized the county lord of Qinghe in the back, and the county lord of Qinghe is the niece of the queen, and the queen mother should also say hello to the queen first, Your Majesty only needs to ask the queen, if the queen mother has never talked about it, then I am afraid this matter is also an excuse for her. ”

"If this is indeed an excuse for her, then why is she?" Li continued to ask quietly.

"I don't know the Queen Mother, and she summoned me to dismiss me, isn't this ridiculous?"

Zhang Huan smiled faintly and said: "I hate to press the gold thread every year and make wedding clothes for others, Your Majesty only looks at the attitude of the officials on this matter, and you understand." ”

Li was stunned, he didn't speak for a long time, a gloomy chill suddenly burst out of his eyes, and then he returned to peace, he smiled at Zhang Huan gently, picked up a pen and wrote a book, handed it to him and said: "Since the Queen Mother has removed you from your current position, I will make you a guerrilla general again, although it is unlikely that the Ministry of Officials will record it, but this is my own award, I recognize it." ”

．．．．．．．

The queen mother's decree is really an order, Zhang Huan has not yet walked out of the palace gate, the news that he was deposed by the queen mother spread all over the government and the opposition, there are those who sigh, but there are more people who steal joy, and then the official document of the ministry is also down, and he is dismissed from all his positions.

"Eighteen Lang stop!"

A carriage chased up from behind and stopped in front of Zhang Huan, and Zhang Potian beckoned to him in the door: "Come up!" I'll give you a ride. ”

"Didn't the fourth uncle go to Taiyuan?" Zhang Huan smiled and boarded the carriage.

"I'll leave tomorrow."

Zhang Potian looked at him, with a worried look on his face, "I also heard about it just now, how about it, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine!"

"Are you really not knocked out?" A smile gradually appeared in Zhang Potian's eyes.

Zhang Huan didn't answer directly, he leaned lightly on the couch, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and said in a low voice: "Does the fourth uncle still remember the moat river of the Zhang family?"

"Of course I do! So what? ”

Zhang Huan gradually fell into the memory, "I still remember the winter when I was fifteen years old, Taiyuan was very cold, the ice on the river of the Zhang family was a foot thick, one day I was sick, I thought, I don't have to go into the water today, but the master still grabbed me and threw me into the ice cave..."

His voice became lower and lower, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, his head slowly raised, and he smiled proudly: "From that day on, I no longer know what it means to be knocked down and what it means to be frustrated. Fourth uncle, you underestimate me too much! ”

"Good! This is the real man. ”

Zhang Potian patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "A person's life cannot be smooth sailing, when I was kicked out of Zhang's Mansion and ousted from the phase, I have been enduring it for ten years, compared to me, what is your little setback?" But you have to learn something from this setback, otherwise it's pointless. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Potian stared at him with blazing eyes: "Tell me, what do you understand from this setback?" ”

"Strength!" Zhang Huan was silent for a long time and said slowly.

．．．．．．．．．

When she returned to the inn, she saw Pingping holding out a thick stack of posts, and she complained when she saw Zhang Huan: "How can you write a reply on white paper, my sister said no, let me buy a bunch of blank posts, and put your white paper cuts on it, it took me a day's work, oh!" It's just finished now, and you're back just in time, so let's send it together? ”

Zhang Huan smiled and said, "I'll leave the reply to the post, you can go and have dinner!" Otherwise, those guys will come back hungry and panic. ”

Pingping couldn't ask for it, she threw the post into Zhang Huan's hand and slipped away.

There is no need to send these posts, the queen mother's decree is more effective than anything, no one will want to invite him again, he just walked to the door, he heard a commotion outside the inn, and then a carriage stopped, and heard the innkeeper only promised.

Before he could reach the courtyard gate, he saw a person striding over, "Hehe! The residence of the virtuous nephew made it easy for the old man to find. ”

The person who came was Cui Yuan, the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, who stepped forward to hold Zhang Huan's hand and said sincerely: "I already know the will of the Queen Mother, and this is also a helpless thing, I put a few glasses of light wine, and specially suppressed the shock for the virtuous nephew." ”

Although the Cui and Zhang families are incompatible, although the decline of the Zhang family is all planned by Cui Yuan, and even today's loss of office is very likely to have something to do with him, Zhang Huan still has to admit that he can't hate Cui Yuan, and even admires him very much.

He kidnapped his daughter, and as soon as the head of the family left, he generously released her, and did not trouble his companions afterwards; Similarly, he was dismissed by the Queen Mother, and he actually came to the inn to invite him, although he had ulterior motives, but this kind of means of winning people's hearts is admirable,

This is the person who does great things, does not care about temporary gains and losses, talks and laughs freely, if there is such a person as an opponent, it is also a great pleasure in life!

Zhang Huan happily smiled and said: "If you can drink with Cui, you will be a big white in your life." ”

．．．．．．．

Zhang Huan boarded Cui Yuan's carriage, under the escort of Cui Yuan's hundreds of guards, from Pingkangfang to Xuanyangfang is just a wall apart, several miles away, but Cui Yuan did not rush to go, but ordered the carriage to detour to the north, passing in front of the Suzaku Gate, at this time coincided with the completion of the next dynasty and the imperial examination, the entire Suzaku Street was crowded with officials' carriages and walking scholars, and from a distance saw the Xiangguo carriage coming retrograde, everyone gave way and stood on the side of the road to pay attention.

Cui Yuan simply slowed down the horse, opened the windows on both sides, and gave the officials a smile in return, naturally, Zhang Huan in his car was also obvious to the world, and in a moment, the saying that Xiangguo cherished his talents spread all over the street, and those scholars were even more envious and jealous, eager to replace him.

"Huh! The virtuous nephew does not blame the old man for making the decision without authorization, why the virtuous nephew lost his official position, everyone knows it in their hearts, and even the prime minister sighs that the court has lost a handsome man, but the queen mother has made a decree, and the prime minister has nothing to do, so he can only do his best to save a little face for the virtuous nephew. ”

"Uncle Cui Shi is considerate and subtle, and the little nephew is too late to be grateful, how can he blame Uncle Shi?"

Zhang Huan was smiling all the time, he didn't understand Cui Yuan's intentions, so that he not only cleared up his relationship with the Queen Mother, but gently and skillfully pushed the Queen Mother to the opposite side of Zhang, Wei and other families; At the same time, he won the reputation of ignoring his previous suspicions, showing his love for talent in front of the ministers, and reassuring himself to go to his house, in short, it is a number of birds with one stone, and there are many benefits, but Zhang Huan doesn't care, as Cui Yuan said, he can save a little face for him, why not do it?
