Zhang Rui, who was sitting in the lonely lamp, looked at her husband who was drunk on the bed in a daze, still with a delicate face, but at some point, a few strands of white hair had climbed on the sideburns. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Ke suddenly turned over in his sleep, dreaming of vague words, vaguely calling his nickname, his father's words are still in his ears, Zhang Rui gently stroked her husband's cheek, muttering: "I don't want you to dominate the world, and I don't want you to be a hero, I just want a husband who stays by day and night, let's be a vegetarian and plain old age, beg God to take care of my poor Ke'er, don't let him suffer those hardships and suffer those sins, The little woman is willing to give her life in exchange for the peace and security of my husband's life......."

Zhang Hua rushed back to Luoyang, Kyoto, all the way to Luoyang, refusing to delay for a moment, when he finally entered the Kyoto city gate exhausted, the first thing was not to go home, but to go straight to the palace, Zhang Hua knew that the Queen Mother Yang Zhi must be looking forward to bringing back good news every day.

As soon as Yang Zhi in the palace heard the news of Zhang Hua's request to see him, he immediately commanded Xiao Huangmen in a loud voice: "Please, please enter the palace." ”

Seeing that Zhang Hua's white shirt had turned into a gray color, and his face was covered with dust, he knew at a glance that he was tired of carriages and horses, and he didn't even return home after entering the city, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and looked at Zhang Hua with expectation: "Hard work, Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Hua sighed lightly: "Queen Mother, Weichen is incompetent, he didn't do a good job, and he asked the Queen Mother to punish him." ”

Yang Zhi listened, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide her disappointment and anxiety, and she was silent for a long time before she shook her head and said: "Actually, the mourning family has already guessed that my younger brother looks easy-going and approachable on the face, but in fact he is very stubborn, he must still blame me for being a sister.......

"The Queen Mother was too worried, and Weichen also brought back a sentence from the Hou Ye, which he instructed Weichen to only tell the Queen Mother alone."

When Yang Zhi was depressed, when she heard this, she couldn't help but see a glimmer of hope again: "What words, you say it quickly." ”

Zhang Hua looked around at the palace maid of the Yellow Gate standing beside Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi understood, and waved his hand: "You all retreat, you can't enter the palace without an order." The eunuchs and palace maids around them withdrew from the hall one after another.

Looking around and seeing that there was no one else, Zhang Hua lowered his voice and said: "Hou Ye asked Weichen to bring the original words to the Queen Mother, I didn't have the slightest complaint against her, let her calm down and don't act rashly, there is a real behind-the-scenes driving force behind the turmoil in the court this time, if he doesn't show up, we can't move." ”

Yang Zhi pondered for a long time, and smiled: "When it comes to scheming and calmness, I am really far inferior to Ke'er, we are still playing our own little abacus, but Ke'er can take advantage of the situation, deliberately expose flaws, and hide us all." No wonder the mourning family has never been able to guess why he suddenly took the initiative to resign. ”

Zhang Hua nodded: "It's just that Master Hou refuses to say who the driving force behind the scenes in his heart is anyway." Wechen still can't guess. ”

Yang Zhi suddenly smiled: "There is one person who must be able to guess." ”

Zhang Hua looked at Yang Zhi's unfathomable smile, and suddenly came to his senses: "What does the Queen Mother mean by that Wudou Xie Cheng brother?" ”

Yang Zhi nodded: "But I'm worried that he may not be able to tell the truth, but it may not be impossible for you to test him." ”

"Tempting this fellow is going to have to get good wine as bait." Zhang Hua said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Hua's joking words, Yang Zhi thought of this old man's uninhibited appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "What's so difficult about this, I asked Huangmen to select two jars of wine from the imperial cellar and send it to your house." ”

The person these two people are talking about is the mountain chief of Guozijian, known as Liu Ling, who is known as the wine marquis. There was a joke about him in the court, saying that Liu Ling felt unwell due to excessive drinking, and felt extremely thirsty, so he begged his wife for wine to quench his thirst. When his wife saw him using wine as tea, she spilled the wine in a fit of rage, smashed the wine vessel at home, and cried and persuaded: "You drink too much, this is not a way to maintain health, you must quit drinking!" Liu Ling replied, "Okay." But I can't control myself, I need to use the power of the gods and Buddhas to help me, and I want to swear a poisonous oath in front of the gods to quit drinking and cut off my own retreat. But to pray to the gods, you have to prepare some wine and meat, otherwise the gods and Buddhas will blame. When the wife heard that her husband wanted to quit drinking, she was overjoyed and agreed, "Okay, this will prepare everything for you to swear before the gods." So he happily went to prepare the wine and meat, and then offered the wine and meat in front of the god card, and finally asked Liu Ling to appear on the stage, waiting for him to swear and pray to God.

Kneeling in front of the god card and said six words: "I was born Liu Ling, and wine is my life." Drink one at a time, five buckets to eliminate alcohol disease. Do not listen to the words of a woman. After saying that, he picked up the wine and meat and began to eat and drink, and in a moment he fell drunk. In order to drink, even the gods were used by him as a cover to deceive his wife, and this old man's profligate form and drunkenness can also be called a strange thing through the ages.

Farewell to the Queen Mother Yang Zhi, Zhang Hua also immediately set off to return to his mansion, under the service of the servants, he washed up, took off the Confucian shirt that had traveled a long way, and put on a clean set of clothes and clothes for visiting guests.

Huangmen, who sent the wine, was very obedient, and without waiting for Zhang Hua to ask, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is the day of the founding of the first emperor, a batch of good wine from the tribute in Sichuan, which was cellared at that time, and it has been a whole few decades now, and it is the best wine that has been cellared in the palace for the longest time." ”

Zhang Hua nodded, and after sending away the Yellow Gate, Zhang Hua instructed his subordinates: "Come on, prepare the car, bring these two jars of good wine, and let's go to visit." ”

Liu Ling's mansion is not far from Zhang Hua's mansion, it is the place where the mountain chief of Guozijian lives, and it is also used for office purposes, and the access control is not deep, but it is a two-entry courtyard, but in Kyoto, where it is not easy to live, it is also very good to have such a courtyard. The porter saw Zhang Hua, who was not wearing an official uniform, and he didn't know the level of his position, but the person who came was obviously not an ordinary person, and his bearing was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went in to report. After a while, he turned around, bowed his head and apologized: "I'm really sorry, my lord is not in the house, and my wife is inconvenient to see guests, so please forgive me ........."

Before Menzi's words fell, Zhang Hua smiled and said: "It's okay, I brought two jars of good wine today and want to give them to your lord, but the adult is not in the lady's house, as far as the old man knows, the lady has always been unwilling for your lord to drink, so the old man can only bring back these two jars of good wine, so as not to complain to your wife." After speaking, he glanced at the attendant who carried the wine, the two attendants understood, gritted their teeth fiercely, the ninja was distressed, pretending to stumble, the wine urn smashed on the steps, and the slightly yellowed wine spurted out, and the wine was overflowing, and the mellow taste permeated the entire air.

"This wine cellar is not to say forty years up, the best in Sichuan, fast, fast, fast, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly take over the guest's wine jar, don't sprinkle it again........" A person rushed out from behind the wall, with an angry expression, who would it be if it wasn't Liu Ling?

Zhang Hua stood at the door with a smile on his face: "Lord Liu, don't you invite me in and sit?" ”
