Finally the curtain was lifted, and as in all cases, it began so carelessly that it did not arouse suspicion.

But a butterfly can cause a storm, not to mention that Yang Zhongling, the princess of today's concubine, actually walked together with the minister privately and closely.

……

……

Although there are many inappropriate things about the two sides talking about meeting each other, sometimes people like to swim against the current and see how much pressure your own arms can withstand.

In the garden, Zhang Hua and Yang Zhongling walked side by side, the two were wearing fox fur coats, although the weather was cold, but it could not be stopped, and the relationship between the two was deep.

"You know what? There has been panic in the palace recently, especially in the imperial study, where the imperial brother often loses his temper. Yang Zhongling talked about what happened recently, and she was also sad.

is not only for a recent incident, but at the same time, King Jin has been thinking about countermeasures all night and has no time to rest, which makes Yang Zhongling, as the imperial sister, really worried that something bad will happen.

"There's no way around it." Zhang Hua sighed and said, looking at the dry trees in the distance that were no longer accompanied by branches and leaves, his eyes deepened: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is in the position of supervising the country, and he is carrying the entire Nanqing, others can relax, but he can't."

The post of superintendent seems to be beautiful. It is within reach of the position of the East Palace, but if you are not careful, it will become a bowl of poison, three feet of white silk.

His Royal Highness King Jin can hold on for so long and can still hold on, I really admire it. ”

Zhang Hua said sincerely, Yang Zhongling nodded at his words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile: "You are right, the imperial brother has changed from being idle in the past to being able to resist now." There really is more than a little growth.

His father returned. The emperor's brother still hasn't dealt with the current predicament, so I believe that he will be safe. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Hua nodded in agreement.

Then, the two walked on the arched bridge and walked to the back of the garden, the second half of the garden, less the pavilion and water pavilion in front, and more of the lake boats scattered everywhere.

"Where to go?" Zhang Hua glanced at the top of the arched bridge, and then asked Yang Zhongling, Yang Zhongling held her chin in her hand, looked at it one by one, and saw that the lake was still frozen, and after still sparkling water, she said excitedly to Zhang Hua: "Let's go rowing, shall we?" ”

"Boating?" Zhang Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, and after seeing a boatman sitting on the shore not far away, he also took Yang Zhongling down.

At this time, an old man came up under the arch bridge, the old man is old, how old is it, if you don't ask, then you won't know, but seeing his rickety back, Yan Shan's steps, and a head of white hair, then you can naturally know that he is really old. At least bigger than Zhang Hua and Yang Zhongling.

Zhang Hua and Yang Zhongling went to the bottom of the arch bridge, and the old man was also up, one left and one right, far apart, but like this, after the old man inadvertently saw Zhang Hua's appearance, he was slightly stunned and said: "Dare to ask... But Zhang Hua of the Supervision Yuan, Lord Zhang? ”

Zhang Hua and Yang Zhongling stopped and looked at the old man one after another.

After the old man saw the face of the painting, the doubts just now turned into affirmation: "That's right, you are Master Zhang." ”

"Dare to ask the old man what is the matter?" Zhang Hua asked.

"The old man has something he wants to know, if Master Zhang can answer, then it is naturally good, then it can't, and it doesn't matter."

Zhang Hua smiled, glanced at Yang Zhongling, and after seeing Yang Zhongling get close to him and nod to himself, Zhang Hua asked: "Uncle, excuse me, if I can help, I will do my best." ”

"Then the old man will thank Master Zhang first." The old man saluted and said.

"Master Zhang, you are the supervision envoy of the Supervision Yuan, you are in an important position, and you know your responsibilities well, the old man wants to ask you, what are the responsibilities of the Supervision Yuan?"

"Supervise hundreds of officials, ask for the people's lives"

"If this is the case, why doesn't the Inspectorate care about Kyoto, and why do you still have the heart to visit the garden here?"

There was a bit of sharpness in the old man's words, although his cloudy eyes resisted a lot, but the chill in it made people's hearts shock.

Zhang Hua looked at the old man again, and opened his mouth like a master who was not used to seeing him, and opened his mouth to mention something to himself.

"The old man asked like this, then I also have something I want to ask the old man." Zhang Hua didn't answer, and asked rhetorically at this moment.

"Lord Zhang, please speak."

"Dare to ask the old man, do you know what I ate this morning?"

The old man shook his head, looked at Zhang Hua and said, "The old man is just a commoner, where can he have any ability to spy on the behavior of adults." ”

"That's the same thing." Zhang Hua said, but then, the topic returned to the right track, and continued: "Uncle doesn't know what I ate in the morning, so I also don't know what my Supervision Yuan did.

It's like playing chess, the action is not visible, this is the layout, the process is very boring, but all this is preparing for the final victory.

Until the last minute, no one knows what was done... Uncle, I don't know if you are satisfied with my answer. ”

Zhang Hua asked, the old man was silent, and Yang Zhongling smiled lightly.

After a long time, the old man seemed to have an epiphany, and his expression suddenly became brighter: "What Master Zhang said makes sense, but I am too persistent."

However, there have been a lot of things in Kyoto that need the help of the Inspectorate recently, and the old man dared to mention that adults should spend less time on the affairs of children's affection, so that the time of victory and defeat will come sooner. ”

Yang Zhongling's face turned red in an instant, like a plum blossom in the cold winter, bright as if it was about to drip blood.

"Uncle... No... I know. Zhang Hua smiled bitterly, and changed his words three times in the end, instead of explaining, this will only make people misunderstand, but if the old man finds out Yang Zhongling's identity, then it will only cause more problems.

"Thank you, Lord Zhang, for your doubts and farewell."

"Please."

After that, the two separated, one went up the bridge, the other went off the bridge, and between a few breaths, there was no trace of each other.

"That old man just now seems a little strange." Yang Zhongling approached Zhang Hua's side and said, Zhang Hua nodded, but he didn't think much about it.

"There are many talented people in this world, many of them are dedicated to the country, you don't think too much, maybe it's just a person who is not used to seeing the current situation, and can't help but save the country, just come to ask."

"That's true, but it still feels a little strange." Yang Zhongling glanced at the arch bridge behind him and muttered.

Zhang Hua smiled bitterly, looked at the parked boat not far away, and said, "Let's go swim in the lake." ”
