Chapter 119: A Beautiful Woman's Proverbs
Except for the emperor, all living beings are small people.
If it is a troubled time, the little people may not have a stage to come out, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, a little monk can also sit in the world; But if you are born in the era when the monarchy is at its peak, the chances of the little people coming out are very small. And Zhang Yue cautiously tested the water step by step, just to find a few more fulcrums and find a few more ways.
In his opinion, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji are certainly a fulcrum, the crown prince he has never seen is also a fulcrum, and even Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and even Du Zhen are also fulcrums, but nowadays, there is no fulcrum that is more important than the British Gong Zhang Fu. Because if his surname is something else, it would be fine, but his surname is Zhang, so naturally he can't watch the real pillars of the Zhang family fall.
Zhang Hui's father and son ran into a wall at the Chengtianmen Gate of the West Palace in the evening of the previous day, Zhang Yue didn't know about it. However, early in the morning, he went to visit Zhang Fu and returned to his room, only to find that it was no one else who sent him early, but Rong Shan, who was still a little swollen on half of his face. The other party put down his things and vividly described some of the situations at that time, with an unconcealable schadenfreude in his tone.
Rong Shan took a cold towel and put it on half of his face before going to bed last night, and when he looked in the mirror after getting up, he still found that there was redness and swelling on his cheeks, not to mention the annoyance in his heart. He is indeed a subordinate of the British Mansion, but the British Mansion is not Zhang Hui's decision, why did he run to him to play prestige? He laughed at the rumors that the butler in charge of the purchase had brought back in the morning.
"To say that Young Master Bin would not be so miserable even if he met a princess, but who wanted him to provoke the county lord Chen Liu? King Zhou has a total of eight sons and three daughters, this Chen Liujun lord is Yongle from Yunnan back to Kaifeng in the early years of the income, has always been a male upbringing, the most pampered, even the emperor also treats her more spoiled than several princesses. This time King Zhou returned to Kaifeng. The emperor insisted on leaving Chen Liujun to accompany him, who knew that it was a coincidence that the second master and the young master Bin bumped into such a nemesis. ”
When Zhang Yue first saw Lord Chen Liu, he thought that she acted boldly and neatly, and had a manly style, but now when he heard Rong Shan say this, he suddenly realized, and thought that it was no wonder that she would say such a thing that day. After a few more gossips, when Rong Shan left, he glanced at the dazzling array of breakfast dishes with a strong northern flavor on the table. There's a sense of intimacy.
There are a total of six kinds of eight-treasure steamed buns, butterfly rolls, sugar dumplings, fat noodles, jujube cakes, and sesame baked cakes, plus a bowl of egg porridge, which looks steaming and makes people appetite. When he was using the breakfast, someone also brought an example of amber autumn marks, all steamed buns and jujube cakes, but a large bowl of scissor noodles was added.
Akijihara is used to eating noodles in the north, and he is almost tired of eating in the south, and he ate noodles at a good time last night. At this time, I saw that there was another meeting in the morning, and I was overjoyed, and I was reimbursed after a while. However, Amber is indispensable to rice and pasta, and he came to serve Zhang Yue after filling his stomach slightly, and he was happy to see him in the wind and clouds. He served two large bowls of porridge in a row.
After breakfast, Zhang Yue thought that Zhang Fu's illness had not improved, so he wanted to go to Du Zhen to inquire about the news. However, he was unfamiliar with life in Beijing, so he wanted to invite Rong Shan. But thinking that now there is no hostess in this house, not even a woman in charge - Zhang Fu, who is strict by nature, did not bring a concubine with the emperor on his northern tour this time - and now coupled with the illness of the British duke, there is no difference between inside and outside, so he simply went straight to Rongshan.
"Young Master Yue, you want to go out too? Anyway, Young Master Bin is sick today, and the second master just went out in a hurry, and it was too late for the little one to send someone to follow. Rong Shan deliberately aggravated the words "sick", and then asked, "Who are you going out to visit?" The city of Beijing is now full of officials who accompanied the emperor on his northern tour. If you don't know the way and can't tell the difference, why don't you let the little one find a proper and clever follower to show you the way? ”
Zhang Yue was most worried about the scene of headless flies stumbling around the last time he visited Du Zhen in Nanjing, at least at that time people still had a fixed residence, and now God knows where the officials of the Northern Patrol lived, and if he looked for it, he would not be able to do it for a day. Therefore, as soon as Rong Shan opened his mouth like this, he immediately agreed. When the young servant, who was full of energy, was led over by Rong Shan, he looked at it and reported the person he was looking for today.
"Lord Du? Bachelor Xiao Yang? And Da Shen? ”
The young servant's name was Zhao Cheng. He is a native of Beijing. Since the arrival of the British Gong Zhang Fu, he has been leading the way everywhere, and he is also extremely familiar with those powerful names. So listen to these three names. He was suddenly in awe of Zhang Yue, and his waist, which had only bent slightly, suddenly bent down.
"Young Master Yue, the small ones who live in these three adults know it. However, with all due respect, Master Du and Master Xiao Yang are often accompanied by each other now, and most of the time they are not at home. As for the big Shen bachelor, because the emperor loves his calligraphy the most, he has always been with the palace waiting for the summons at any time, and there is probably no one to find at this time. ”
Of course Zhang Yue believed this. However, he had nothing to do at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to read books and review his homework at this time, so he still took Zhao Cheng and Lian Sheng Lianhu and Peng Shisan and other four generals out of the door. He was originally unwilling to hug him like this, but Peng Shisan only said what to do if he met a prince like King Hengshan again, and he was speechless.
Du Zhen, Yang Rong and Shen Du were all bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and they also lived in the same compound when they returned to Beijing. Compared with the temporary residence of the British Gong Zhangfu, although this large courtyard was spacious, it was enough to accommodate six officials of the Hanlin Academy, including three ministers.
As Zhao Cheng said, although Zhang Yue didn't spend much effort looking for a place, he pounced on it and didn't see anyone. He and Yang Rong Shen Du only have a one-sided relationship, since they didn't find anyone, it doesn't matter, but when they met Ming Di, they happened to be at home, so they had to let this familiar scholar bring a message to Du Zhen, and even though he was unhappy, he walked out of the big courtyard.
Lian Sheng looked at Zhang Yue's face was not good, and he had nothing to say and said, "Young master, are we going to walk around this Beijing City?" ”
Peng Shisan followed the British Gong Zhang Fu to death from birth to death, and now seeing that the master was sick and couldn't get out of bed, he was in a bad mood, so he suddenly scolded angrily: "What are you shopping, don't you see that the third young master is worried about the master?" I don't understand, there are so many doctors in this hospital, how can it not cure the master's disease! ”
The size is not as good as Peng Thirteen, and at this time, he didn't even dare to compete with Peng Thirteen in terms of tongue, and his face was a little sneering. Zhang Yue himself was really not in the mood to visit Beijing City, and he couldn't help but wonder where he should go at this time. He can't see a person like this emperor and grandson even if he wants to, but other than that, he doesn't seem to know anyone.
Out of the alley and onto the street, although he was holding the reins in one hand, he was still thinking absent-mindedly about things. Due to the countless dignitaries and dignitaries in the city, the city of Beijing is now full of people of all colors, and the streets are full of pedestrians and carriages, and the sound of the wheels in the ears has hardly stopped. Suddenly, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"Brother Yue, are you really coming to Beijing?"
Looking up, Zhang Yue saw a carriage parked beside him, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a surprised smile was revealed inside, it was the fourth lady Meng Min who he had seen at the Meng family last time. Thinking of the last poetry meeting, when she talked and laughed with the sisters, he smiled slightly, called the fourth sister, and immediately went forward.
"Daddy said yesterday that you were here, and he wanted someone to invite you in two days, but who knew that I would bump into it so coincidentally today." Meng Min looked back as he spoke, and found that his car was blocking other people's roads, so he told the coachman to pull over. When she stopped again, she raised the curtain a little higher, and sighed, "Because the British prince is sick, these emperors have a very bad temperament, and I heard that even King Zhao was reprimanded for drinking and listening to songs a few days ago." Ji people have their own natural appearance, Brother Yue doesn't have to worry too much, there are those national players in the hospital, and the British public can always turn the corner. ”
Meng Min's words not only comforted people, but also revealed some more important meanings, and Zhang Yue's heart suddenly moved when he heard it. In the case that the capital has not been moved to Beijing, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, is still the vassal king who guards Beijing, and Meng Xian, the commander of the guards in the mountains, is the head snake here. Meng Min grew up in Beijing, and this time he followed the Northern Tour team to Beijing, and he is indeed well-informed.
At this moment, what he lacked most was news, so after a little hesitation, he said that the departure and arrival happened to meet Jinyiwei. He was originally a dead horse as a live horse doctor to test and tempt, who knew that Meng Min only hesitated a little and then said something.
"I just heard my dad talk about it. At the beginning, there was a Chen Qianhu who demanded people's wealth without authorization, and the emperor issued an order to exile Jiaozhi. Who knew that a few days later, after the prince who stayed in Nanjing learned of this, he read that Chen Qianhu had military merits in front of him, and ordered that he be pardoned and released. This matter was originally not big, but after someone mentioned it to the emperor, the emperor was furious, not only ordered to kill that Chen Qianhu, but after further investigation, he implicated Lord Liang and Lord Zhou, so he brought them to Beijing for interrogation. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Min put away his smile, showed a little concern on his face, and said: "I also know this matter, this is a major matter in the court, you are not an official now, it is better not to take care of it, the current situation is complicated, if one of them is not good to get involved, it will not be able to get rid of it." ”
Zhang Yue was still immersed in the shock of what he had just said at this time, and only then did he wake up when he heard Meng Min's words, and thanked him with a smile. The two said a few more words, and Meng Min said that today, the lord of Chen Liujun invited her to visit Qingshou Temple, and when she put down the curtain and was about to leave after saying goodbye, she suddenly raised the curtain again.
"By the way, last time I inadvertently heard my father say that the emperor was upset because of the illness of the British prince, and once mentioned to King Zhao about cutting shares and serving relatives, saying that this is filial piety in ancient times, but now no one follows suit. Now that the British duke's condition is still not improving, the emperor is very likely to visit in person in the near future, so you need to pay more attention. ”
