Chapter 504: Your Majesty summons
"Fu Yin, let's spend our days looking at the eyes of these birdmen, when will we be the head? You don't know what the people outside say about us, I can't even look up when I go out! Ma Ming said hatefully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ma Ming, I know your grievances, do you think I am willing to live such a life? As the saying goes, there is no porcelain work without diamonds, and I also want to avenge the people, but we don't have that ability! Believe it or not, if we make the slightest move, we will be disgraced and dismissed, or we will not even be able to save our lives. With someone else taking our place, I'm afraid the lives of the common people will be even more difficult than now! ”
"Alas!" Ma Ming sighed deeply and stopped talking.
……
In the Long's dart game, Zhang Baoer was drinking with Long Zhuang, Cui Xiang and Gu Yuntian.
"Bao'er, I said a long time ago that you have a future, and sure enough, it only took you two years to become Jing Zhaoyin, this is the parent official of the people of Chang'an!" Long Zhuang patted Zhang Bao'er on the shoulder and said.
"Not really! Qucheng County Ling is just a sesame official from the seventh grade, but Jing Zhaoyin is from the third grade, Bao'er, you are equivalent to being promoted to eight levels in a row! Speaking of this, Gu Yuntian glanced at Cui Xiang and said, "Presumably, the second senior brother has contributed to Bao'er!" ”
"The third junior brother is too exalted to me, even if I am covered in iron, how many nails can I twist?" Cui Xiang shook his head and said: "Bao'er, even Princess Taiping and King Xiang have come forward, otherwise how could he return to Chang'an so quickly?" ”
"Three brothers, you only saw the beautiful side, but you didn't know that you were roasting me on the fire!" Zhang Bao'er said with a bitter face: "If Jingzhao Yin is so good, he can still take my turn, this is a hot potato!" You have lived in Chang'an for so many years, you should see very clearly, the security situation in the capital can be changed in a day or two, besides, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and any one of them is a relative of the emperor, how can I, Jing Zhaoyin, be taken in their eyes? ”
Listening to Zhang Bao'er's words, Long Zhuang couldn't help but be a little worried: "Bao'er, what are you going to do?" ”
Zhang Bao'er sighed and said: "If you want to completely rectify the security of Chang'an, you must feel the joints clearly. I haven't been in Chang'an for the past two years, and some of the situation is still unclear, so I have to ask the three brothers for advice! ”
Gu Yuntian nodded and said, "What Bao'er said is extremely true, I have some understanding of the situation in Chang'an, and I can tell you about it." However, Bao'er, if you really want to know everything about the security of Chang'an, I can recommend two people to you! ”
"Oh? Brother Gu, please speak! Zhang Baoer was overjoyed.
"The current Jingzhao Yin Zhouxian and the chief catcher of Jingzhao Mansion Ma Ming!"
"Is that them?" Zhang Bao'er frowned and said: "I think they are also corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they are not very reliable." ”
Although Zhang Baoer didn't have much to do with Zhou Xian and Ma Ming, she didn't have a good impression of these two.
"Actually, they are not bad in nature, but because of the environment they live in, they have to do so. Zhou Xian is quite capable, and he was also a clean official before. Ma Ming is also a person of the Six Doors, and he can still listen to me, if Bao'er can convince them, it will play a big role. ”
Zhang Baoer was about to say something, but someone from the dart bureau came in to report, saying that a father-in-law from the palace wanted to see Zhang Baoer.
"Father-in-law from the palace?" Zhang Baoer's heart moved: "Could it be Father-in-law Yang?" Let him in! ”
It was really Yang Siqiao who came into the house, and he said to Zhang Bao'er respectfully: "Zhang Gongzi, Your Majesty announced that you will enter the palace to see you!" ”
Zhang Bao'er returned the salute to Yang Siqiao, and then asked, "Gonggong Yang, Your Majesty summoned me, do you know what it is for?" ”
Yang Siqiao shook his head: "Your Majesty didn't say it, and our family doesn't know." ”
Zhang Bao'er nodded and said, "Please wait a while, I will go with you immediately!" ”
Yang Siqiao went out to wait first, and Zhang Baoer said to Long Zhuang and the others: "Three brothers, we don't have fun today, let's get together another day, we must get drunk and rest!" ”
Cui Xiang admonished: "Bao'er, you must be careful when entering the palace!" ”
Zhang Bao'er knew that Cui Xiang was guarding himself against Queen Wei and Princess Anle, so he smiled and said, "Brother Cui, don't worry, I'll be careful!" ”
In Li Xian's imperial study in Xingqing Palace in the imperial city, Zhang Baoer made a big salute to Li Xian.
"Get up!" Li Xian said kindly.
Zhang Bao'er got up and looked at Li Xian, he hadn't seen him for just two years, Li Xian was obviously old, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body!" ”
Zhang Bao'er's brainless words made Li Xian's heart flutter with a burst of warmth, and he could see that Zhang Bao'er said this from the heart, not like other ministers, who just said perfunctory words.
"Alas! The years are urging people to grow old! I'm really old! Li Xian sighed with emotion and asked Yang Siqiao to give Zhang Baoer a seat.
"Back then, I promised you that when the time came, I would issue an order to summon you back to Chang'an, but I didn't break my promise!"
Zhang Bao'er hurriedly got up and saluted Li Xian and said, "Weichen has thanked Your Majesty for your kindness!" ”
"Don't be polite, just talk like we did in the prison of the Criminal Department, so as not to be divided!" Li Xian sighed and said.
Zhang Bao'er nodded: "Weichen understands!" ”
"Tell me about your situation in the past two years!" Li Xian smiled at Zhang Bao'er.
Except for Yang Siqiao, no one knew what Li Xian and Zhang Baoer had said, but they had been talking for three or four hours. Empress Wei came several times in the middle, but Li Xian didn't see it.
After talking, Zhang Baoer and Li Xian also had dinner together, and Zhang Baoer did not leave the palace until the time of the lamp.
……
Although Zhang Bao'er had been gone for a while, Li Xian still had a smile on his face.
Li Xian's health is not good, he has already rested at this hour on weekdays, but at this time he does not have the slightest sleep.
Queen Wei and Princess Anle Li Bao'er also surprisingly did not leave, the mother and daughter are energetic, and they usually have fun until the second watch before they are willing to sleep, and at this moment they are staring at Li Xian strangely.
Li Xian seemed to sense their surprised gazes, turned his head and said abruptly: "Chatting with him, I myself feel much younger, I can really be described as a happy fruit, a loyal minister, and a friend of the knee." ”
Li Xian's words can be regarded as heartfelt words, since he became the emperor, he has no friends, and the ministers are either perfunctory or responsive, and they will never talk like Zhang Baoer as a friend. Even his wife, Empress Wei, and daughter Li Bao'er will not be as patient with themselves as Zhang Bao'er. Zhang Baoer said that there are some lives outside the palace, which makes Li Xian feel novel.
Empress Wei said quietly: "He is just a village ordinary man, is Your Majesty doing this to him?" ”
Li Xian looked at his wife, and his expression couldn't help but be a little dazed.
