In the past dynasties, there were officials who went to serve outside the country, and there were those who set off on the road with a servant and a donkey, and there were also those who set off with a light car, and there were also those who hugged each other and traveled like a cloud. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The court doesn't ask about this example, you are capricious.

The scale of Zhang Fang's travel was not small, there were as many as seven carriages alone, and there were more than 50 guards and servants, all of whom rode horses, and all the servants rode in cars -- almost catching up with the scale of the envoys who went to the Western Regions in those years. In addition, there are two elder brothers: Bamber and Banyou.

These two eldest brothers applied for visitation leave from the imperial court as early as half a month ago, and they wanted to go to the Western Regions Protectorate to visit their father who had not seen him for two years. The Han ruled the country with filial piety, which has nothing to say, and the imperial court also encouraged such behavior, so it was natural to grant leave. If it is not an official who is outside the country, the family members must stay in Beijing as a hostage, and Mrs. Zhang's wife Ban should also accompany him.

The family is loyal to the country, and the brother and father are filial piety, and loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, but can only be loyal and unfilial piety.

The battle was not small, but when he went out of Chang'an to accept the routine inspection of Zhijinwu, no one dared to say much, because Fuping Hou could afford such a scale of travel.

Entering and leaving the city for inspection is naturally a common practice, and Zhang Fang and his entourage are accompanied by more carriages and horses, and it is normal for it to take a little longer. But I saw that the head of the ruling Jinwu Sima was accompanied by a young man, holding a roster, a personal comparison, roll call, and also carrying the goods on the car up and down for inspection. This "serious" energy has to not make people suspicious and breathless.

Han Zhong and Biao Jie, who accompanied him, were all eyeing each other, and they had the intention of cutting people if they didn't agree with each other.

Zhang Fang sat in the car, and spent a lot of time talking about "Poetry" and "Yi" with the two eldest brothers, and he didn't mind at all.

However, when the young man came over, Zhang Fang couldn't help but give a salute - this person deserves his attention.

Wang Mang!

Two or three years ago, Zhang Fang had seen Wang Mang in Chen Tang's mansion, and he hadn't seen him since. At that time, Wang Mang was still white, and a few years later, he was already a Lang official.

Zhang Fang only glanced at Wang Mang's clothes and ribbons, and knew that he was currently serving as Huangmenlang. Yes, although this position is not high, it can walk in the forbidden middle school, and it is close to the Son of Heaven, which is an excellent shortcut to promotion. The previous Chun Yu was like this, and so was Wang Mang.

Zhang Fang put down the poetry book in his hand and said with a smile: "It's Jujun, when did Huangmenlang also have the rules for cooperating with Jinwu to investigate?" ”

Wang Mang's face was serious, he didn't smile, he only politely made a gesture to Zhang Fang, and even said "offended", and directly opened the roster and read: "Bamber!" ”

Bamber is too often a gentleman, very polite, and behaves in a proper manner: "So-and-so, Bamber." ”

Wang Mang checked it again, and then read: "Ban You!" ”

"So-and-so, class tour."

Although Wang Mang doesn't have a good face, Zhang Fang really doesn't mind - you made someone's uncle like that, and you still expect people to greet him with a smile? What's more, he is now the public enemy of the Wang family, if Wang Mang is smart, it is best to draw a line with him, the clearer the better. Is Wang Mang smart? There is no need to ask this question at all.

As Huang Menlang, why was Wang Mang sent to search? Zhang Anxin also knew very well that this was Wang's eye medicine for himself, and he did not rule out that he wanted to search for some prohibited people or things, and knocked out his anger.

Zhang Fang's smile remained unchanged: "Wang Lang, it's hard work." ”

Wang Mang responded with his head and continued to investigate.

The Ban brothers looked at each other and said nothing. The Wang family is powerful, and these two brothers are cautious people, and they won't mind being a little rude.

After the inspection, Wang Mang came to Zhang Fang, his expression was light, and he folded his sleeves: "Fuping Hou, have a good journey, there will be a period later." ”

Zhang Fang stared at Wang Mang carefully for a while, looked at the latter in his heart, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Yes, right, Wang Lang, you and I will meet again one day!" ”

The chariots, the horses and the horses, the team went away with the rolling smoke and dust. In front of the city gate cave, Wang Mang stood with his sleeves folded, puzzled, what is the meaning of Fuping Hou's seemingly peaceful words?

……

Because it was early in the afternoon, the first day did not go far, and at dusk, the team stayed at Kuili Station, which was more than 50 miles away from Chang'an.

Zhi Sifu received Zhang Fang and his party with a courteous face - no matter how difficult people are, they are still ranked as marquises. No matter how powerful the Wang family is, it can't radiate to this little puppeteer.

After eating and drinking, feeding the horses and preparing materials, Zhang put down the order except for Han Zhong and Biao Jie, and the rest of the accompanying guards and servants all went back to the room to rest and leave tomorrow morning.

The entourage went to rest, and Zhang Fang'an sat in the room, leaning over on his knees, with a large map spread on the desk, and under the bright candlestick, he looked at it carefully and counted it with his fingers.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden rush of horses' hooves and the creaking of vehicles outside the post. After a while, there was a commotion, and I faintly heard someone asking: "Where is the Marquis of Fuping?" Then came the frightened voice of the husband: "Marquis Fuping, he is ......"

Less leaning, footsteps outside the door, and the fire is bright.

After a while, Han Chong's knock on the door came: "Childe, there is an urgent call from the imperial court." ”

Zhang Fang smiled faintly: "It's really impatient." "Slowly put away the map and get dressed up.

"The emperor's order is here, disturb me all night, please forgive the Marquis of Fuping."

When he saw this confessor, Zhang Fang smiled dumbly: "It turned out to be a dog!" In the middle of the night, I don't know why Your Majesty is urgently summoned? ”

Dog life - Gou ginseng.

Unsurprisingly, this one is back again.

With different homophones, of course Gou Shen can't hear Zhang Fang's ridicule, but he doesn't have a good face, after all, it is very rude to call him by his name in person. However, Gou Shen's face turned grim, and he quickly returned to normal, looking playfully at the political enemy in front of him who had twice destroyed him, like looking at a lamb to the slaughter. Hehe, Zhang Fang, Zhang Fang, you can't die master, master will kill you today!

The entourage presented a lacquer plate, and the yellow silk seal edict on the plate was particularly eye-catching.

"Marquis Fuping, take the edict." Gou Shen shook open the edict and chanted aloud.

Zhang Fang's expression was faint, deaf to him, and he automatically blocked almost all the content in front of Gou Shennian, and only listened to the last sentence "...... Give the king ten stones of wine, raise one cattle, and judge the outside. ”

The meaning of this sentence is, "I will give you ten stones of good wine and a head of ox, and you will judge yourselves." What does that mean? Giving cattle wine, the story of the Han family, and a very subtle political reminder, remind you to "wake up, it's time to cut yourself." ”

Behind Gou Shen, a group of entourages carried ten stone wine, and there was also the sound of mooing cows outside the door, but these were just superficial forms, and the real killing was a pot of wine in his hand.

Gou Shen held the edict in one hand and the wine jug in the other, approaching step by step, and couldn't hide his smug smile: "Fuping Hou, please." ”

"Do you want my head?" Zhang Fang's face did not change color, as if he heard Gou Shen say that he borrowed kitchen oil and salt, picked up the black box and put it on the table, patted it, "Look, the letter box with the head is ready." Take it! ”
