Chapter 385: The End

Guanglu Temple is located on the north side of Dong'anli Gate, next to the place where students study medicine. Before the Northern Qi Dynasty, this yamen was in charge of the palace guards and attendants, but since the Tang Dynasty, this place has been in charge of the palace meals. According to the Ming system, all fruits, vegetables, meat, etc., which enter the palace, must first pass through this pass, and then they will arrive at the yamen of Shangshan Jian and other yamen who specialize in making imperial meals. Therefore, just behind Guanglu Temple, there are three major internal official yamen, namely the Shang Diet Supervisor, the South Dining Room and the North Dining Room. Now that it is not the big festival of those ministers who give banquets, Guanglu Temple should be relatively leisurely, but since the emperor detained Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, here, the king of Guanglu Temple has become bigger.

Wait for it? That's the emperor's mother's uncle and the queen mother's brother, if he goes out to wear his own shoes, it will be uncomfortable; can be regarded as a guest, not to mention that the emperor is locked up here, he is a high-ranking official with two ranks of jinshi and three grades, and he really lowered his face to serve this, and he was not so interested. So, he struggled to the end, so he used a compromise method, in addition to wine, what he wanted for other meals, even books, etc., but he forbade people to go in and talk to Zhang Heling outside of three meals.

In this way, it is precisely Zhang Heling who is suffocated. He is used to being a dog and horse outside the palace, and he often can't escape from the early dynasty in the past, but now he is locked up in such a place, where can he stand it? But after a few troubles, no one paid attention to him, he couldn't help but lose his anger, and once he was angry and corrupted, he also had the intention of committing suicide, but he broke the bowl, and he really wanted to draw the sharp broken porcelain to the wrist and neck, but he immediately stopped after feeling the sharp stinging sensation, and then he gave up the idea of forcing each other to death, and could only beat the spirit for a while.

At noon that day, he was boredly flipping through the popular book in his hand that was going to come when he delivered the meal last time, and he was frowning at the vulgar story of talented and beautiful women, and there was a squeak behind him. vaguely counting that the hour should be the meal, he didn't bother to look back, still listlessly flipping through the sheets of paper. After a long time, he realized that the movement behind him was wrong, and there was no sound of the person who usually delivered the food putting down the dishes, and hurriedly turned around.

Although there was an oil lamp in the room, the places in front of him were bright, and behind the person was a closed door, and the light was extremely dim, and he actually squinted his eyes for a long time, and then he recognized the person, and the scroll in his hand fell off at once. He almost subconsciously jumped up and patted the wrinkled placket of his clothes, and saw that it was futile to smooth it out, so he tried his best to calm down.

"Pingbeibo, you are ...... today"

"I've been suffering for the Hou Ye these days, and I have sent you back to the house by the emperor's order."

Zhang Heling always thought that the Queen Mother's sister would not ignore her at first, but after being locked up for so long all of a sudden, he was no longer so sure. At this moment, when Xu Xun said such a sentence with a smile, he finally gave birth to a kind of relief that he could see the moon and see the clouds, and when he saw Xu Xun raised his hand sideways and gave way, he showed a little arrogance that he had always been in front of people, and went out with his head held high. However, after being locked in the small black room for too long, when he suddenly went out to see the sun, he only felt that his head was dazzling, and his body couldn't help but shake twice. If it weren't for the timely extension of a hand next to him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"Master Hou, be careful."

After being locked up for so long, Zhang Heling's heart was naturally full of resentment, and he only snorted at the moment and didn't say much. When he got out of Guanglu Temple and got into a car that was obviously prepared a long time ago, he saw Xu Xun also follow him in the car, and then he remembered an important matter: "The emperor only said that you would send me back to the house, but didn't say that I should go to see the Queen Mother?" ”

"The Queen Mother has been busy moving to Renshou Palace these days, and when she is done with a few days, she will naturally meet the Hou Ye."

Hearing that Empress Dowager Zhang actually began to move from Kunning Palace to Renshou Palace during her detention in Guanglu Temple, Zhang Heling only felt a sigh in her heart, there was always a little bit of untruth. He opened the curtain a little bit to look at the situation outside, but as he walked, he found that something was wrong, immediately dropped the curtain, looked at Xu Xun in surprise and anger and said: "This is out of Dong'anmen and go north along the half street of Huodao, cross the Silver Ingot Bridge from Gulouxia Street, and then cross the Li Guangqiao Bridge not far away, it is the Shouning Hou Mansion, where are you taking me to?" ”

"Master Hou doesn't need to be nervous, today I was ordered to take you out of Guanglu Temple, and I have to turn around to Fusi Prison in Jinyi Weibei Town to pick up a person out, just ...... by the way."

"What a drop!" Zhang Heling suddenly jumped like thunder, "I am a dignified pro-Shou Ninghou, and I still have to go home in the same car with the prisoners in the Imperial Prison?" ”

"What if the prisoner of this edict is the one who will help you get out of trouble this time?" Seeing that Zhang Heling was stunned for a moment, Xu Xun continued to ask unhurriedly, "What if the prisoner of this edict is Ling Lang?" ”

Zhang Heling only felt that his head was completely insufficient, and shook his head vigorously, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "...... you?" What do you mean? ”

"Shou Ninghou, this time the matter can be concluded, all thanks to Ling Lang's blood and strength, from the Dongchang Yamen to bring your Zheng San, who handled this military affairs, to the front of the palace, this is finally to get you out of trouble, are you still not happy that I will pick him up at this time?"

Seeing that Zhang Heling fell into a stupor, Xu Xun stopped and didn't explain, no matter what Zhang Heling said, he didn't say anything, and waited until he walked from Dongjiang Mi Lane and Jiangmi Lane to the front of Beizhen Fusi in Jinyiwei Back Street, and he got out of the carriage. And Zhang Heling leaned out of the carriage and was about to follow him, but when he saw that the Jinyi guards commanded Ye Guang and Li Yifeng, who were in charge of the thousands of households, came out together, he hesitated a little and retracted his head.

He doesn't want to deal with the factory guards at all now!

Xu Xun also had no intention of leaving Zhang Heling down for too long, and only exchanged pleasantries with Ye Guang and Li Yifeng for a while, so he followed the two of them directly to the well-conditioned cell of Fusi in Beizhen and took Zhang Zongshuo out. sent people to Zhang Heling's carriage, and he didn't bother the father and son who had "reunited after a long absence", and got on the horse and followed behind the carriage. Along Xuanwumen Street all the way north, walked for more than half an hour, the carriage turned east into Chongguosi Street, and then turned north to Deshengmen Street and walked a stone's throw to Zhanghuangqin Street.

Someone was waiting there early at the mouth of the alley, and as soon as he saw Xu Xun riding a horse and following a carriage, the man immediately pulled out his legs and ran inside, shouting loudly: "The master and the eldest young master are back!" ”

Mrs. Shouninghou and Zhang Jingxuan, who were waiting at the gate of Shouninghou's mansion, were already anxious, and suddenly heard this sound, and Mrs. Shouninghou's body was weak, but fortunately, the daughter of the left and the right and Qian's mother supported her in time, and she was relieved. Being helped out of the gatehouse, the three five-frame beast-faced tin ring gold lacquer doors have been completely opened according to her prior instructions, seeing that the carriage stopped steadily in front of the door, the first to drill out is the eldest son Zhang Zongshu, and then reached out and helped a person out of it, it was her husband Zhang Heling, she only felt that her eyes were sour and astringent, and it was easy to lower her head to stop the sourness of her nose.

"Old man......"

Zhang Heling didn't have the same appearance in front of Xu Xun just now, he comforted his wife dryly, and let Zhang Jingxuan, who was also red-eyed, help Mrs. Shouninghou in, and when he reflexively went to look at Xu Xun who got off the horse, his face was already extremely embarrassed.

He never thought that Dongchang, who he thought would be able to help, would secretly detain Zheng San for a long time, if his son hadn't listened to Xu Xun's words and called the door, maybe he would have been a fool. Even if his son squatted in Jinyiwei Prison for a few days, as soon as this trip came out, the emperor ordered him to be a hundred avant-garde households in Datong, and he wanted to send people to Datong Town.

Not only that, but what Xu Xun explained in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang and the emperor, Zhang Zong said that he had learned everything he had learned from him, and he was twice as old as Xu Xun in vain, but he didn't see it through this kid!

"Pingbeibo, this time...... I owe you so much this time! Today, I just got rid of my bad luck, and it is really disrespectful to ask you to stay, and I will hold a banquet on the Songhe Tower to thank you! ”

Zhang Heling said this, which was extremely rare for him, the arrogant Shouning Hou. And Zhang Zong said that he squatted in Jinyiwei Prison for four or five days, from the commander of Ye Guang to Li Yifeng, who was in charge of thousands of households, they all took good care of him, and said that he had news about him, he initially thought that it was because his Lao Tzu was the emperor, but when he just came out, he saw Ye Guang and Li Yifeng and Xu Xun being close to each other, but he only greeted Zhang Heling symbolically, and his feelings in his heart were naturally more different. At this moment, Xu Xun's previous sentence that provoked him to hit the East Factory came to his mind again.

Is it really enough to be a wealthy relative?

Xu Xun glanced at Zhang Zong, who had a delicate face, and said that he knew that in the heart of this Shouning Hou Shizi, he had carved the mark of his omnipotence, so he couldn't help but smile and humbly said a few words to Zhang Heling. When he saw the father and son supporting each other to enter the door, he knew that no matter how hard Li Rong and Wang Yue tried in the future, the Zhang family, the royal family, they would never be able to conquer it again.

He turned the horse's head, and when he saw Cao Mi riding his horse over, he looked like he was listening to the instructions, so he smiled and said, "Go, go back to the palace to resume your life!" ”

"Ah...... Humble Command! ”

When you come, you have to pick up people from Guanglu Temple and Jinyi Wei Yamen respectively, so naturally you can only go out of Dong'an Gate, walk around the imperial city in a big circle, and when you go back, Xu Xun naturally goes straight to Xi'an Gate. However, when he galloped into Xi'anmen Street, he happened to pass by a group of people who came out of Xi'anmen. Recognizing the man in the head at a glance, he couldn't help but pull the reins and stop the horse, and quickly turned back. About twenty or thirty paces behind him, the group of people also stopped one after another, and the person in front of them also turned around, and it was Wang Yue.

The four eyes looked at each other at a short distance, as if they could strike infinite fire. I don't know how long it took before Wang Yue snorted coldly, turned his head and left. As the people behind him followed, the group gradually roared away. At this time, Cao Mi walked two quick steps to Xu Xun's side.

"Isn't that the prince of the Admiral Dongchang? Where did he go? ”

Xu Xun looked at the disappearing backs of the group and said with a faint smile: "Of course it's to go where he should go!" ”

If these old people who occupy their positions don't go, how can they make room for newcomers?
