Empress Dowager Zhang's expression froze, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She felt that the person in front of her was very strange. This is her son, the child she conceived and gave birth to in October. Why does his personality feel alien even to himself?

Could it be that it started when Zhao'er came into contact with this Xie Shen?

For some reason, Empress Dowager Zhang always felt that this Xie Shen was a little different from ordinary people. It is not his knowledge and articles, but his conduct in the world, which is so sharp, even in the face of the emperor's relatives and relatives, he will not give in at all.

Is Zhao'er the one who appreciates him?

If this is the case, it is not difficult to explain that Zhao'er is becoming more and more decisive in her decisions.

"If the queen mother has nothing else to do, the sons still have a note to review."

Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so he simply found an excuse to withdraw.

Empress Dowager Zhang knew her son's temperament, so she no longer persuaded her, but nodded and said, "State affairs are important." ”

Zhu Houzhao left the hall, Zhang Yong smiled bitterly: "Why bother with the emperor, the Hou Ye must also be unintentional." ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily when he heard this: "Presumptuous, is there a place for you to speak here?" What do I do with Shou Ninghou, you dare to put a beak even if you are a slave? ”

Zhang Yong was so frightened that he was silent, and after a long time, Zhu Houzhao let out a breath and said: "If you dare to leak the slightest rumor about this matter, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

"The slave knows that the slave will control this mouth."

"Okay, I don't need you to serve here, go and ask Gu Dayong to come over."

Although Zhang Yong was bitter in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey the king's order, so he had to reluctantly call Gu Da.

......

......

Back at the Shouning Hou Mansion, Zhang Heling fell ill directly.

This time Shou Ninghou was not pretending to be sick, he was hit too hard, it was difficult to accept it for a while, and it was not uncommon for him to fall ill in a hurry.

His wife in more than a dozen rooms cried when she saw this, screaming as if the sky was falling.

In their impression, their master has never been as out of shape as today, is the master really going to be finished?

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and they have heard more or less about Shou Ninghou, but they just saw it as a joke at first, and they never thought it was true!

The so-called things gather by like, and people are divided by groups. They rushed to marry to the Shouning Marquis Mansion one by one in order to enjoy the wealth and glory, but they did not suffer with Zhang Heling.

It's good now, seeing that they haven't enjoyed the rich and idle days for a few days, they are going to follow Zhang Heling unlucky, why are their lives so bitter!

More than a dozen concubines gathered around Zhang Heling's bedside, and you said a word, and you woke up Shou Ninghou alive, which made people cry and laugh.

Zhang Heling was in a trance and saw a bunch of figures swaying in front of his eyes, and he fixed his eyes to see that they were all his mother-in-law.

"Ah, the lord is awake, the lord is awake."

"Master, how are you, is it really as rumored, Your Majesty is coming to our Zhang family?"

"If that's the case, how can it be good, then it's His Majesty the Emperor, no matter how powerful the lord is, how powerful can he be as powerful as His Majesty?"

"Who said it wasn't, hey, sir, you're not stupid, you have something to say."

"Get out, get out of here!"

Zhang Heling let out a wild roar, frightening the dozen or so concubines who were stunned and didn't say a word.

"You don't have to worry about Lao Tzu's affairs, let Lao Tzu get out."

Zhang Heling pushed and dragged him and finally pushed out more than a dozen sticky concubines.

He closed the door and sat back on the bed, gasping for air.

It is said that women have long hair and short knowledge. But there are some things where their knowledge is not necessarily short-sighted.

Women's sense of crisis is naturally stronger than that of men, so when faced with a big danger, it is often women who react first.

Could it really be as they guessed, that he is finished?

Judging by the current situation, this possibility exists.

His emperor's nephew resigned himself to the surname Xie, and if he really let Xichang investigate thoroughly, he would definitely not be able to get out of it.

Now there are no more than two choices in front of Zhang Heling. First, it is to take the initiative to accept the soft and ask for a lenient treatment.

But with Zhang Heling's character, he obviously won't choose this one.

The second is to stop doing one thing and Xie Shenyu is dead.

If it really gets to the point of breaking the family, Zhang Heling doesn't mind fighting with Xie Shen. You don't want me to live well, and Lao Tzu won't let you have a good time!

"Come on, go and invite the Marquis of Jianchang to come."

After thinking about it again, Zhang Heling still felt that this matter should be discussed with his younger brother.

The so-called fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers. Only blood brothers are the most trustworthy.

Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, is Zhang Heling's younger brother, originally knighted as Jianchang Bo, and was named Marquis of Jianchang in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, and his relatives are as expensive as Zhang Heling.

But Zhang Yanling doesn't know why he has been much more low-key in recent years, and even Zhang Heling, who is an elder brother, is a little uncomfortable.

Originally, the two brothers were impeached by the imperial historian together, and he still had one who could disperse the firepower, but now it's good, it's not a thing for him to be alone, and the younger brother is hiding far away, for fear of getting fishy.

But in this matter, Zhang Heling will never allow his younger brother to pretend to be confused.

The two brothers are both prosperous and loss-making.

If he is finished, Zhang Yanling will not be able to be alone.

The housekeeper was ordered to go to Jianchang Houfu, and after a short time, Zhang Yanling took a retinue to his brother's mansion to discuss important matters.

Zhang Yanling also knew what his brother had done, and if the emperor wanted to do it, he could kill them in minutes.

Therefore, as soon as he saw his brother, Zhang Yanling said worriedly: "Big brother, you are so confused." So who is Xie Shen? He is not only the emperor's teacher, but also His Majesty's most trusted courtier, and he and His Majesty are also teachers and friends. Big brother, you can get along with whoever you can't get along with, but you can't get along with him. ”

Zhang Heling called his younger brother to share his worries and discuss major matters together. But who knew that when the younger brother came, he was the first to count him. This made Zhang Heling very angry.

"Okay, even you can't get used to me?"

"What are you talking about, brother, aren't I worried about you?"

Zhang Yanling's kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, although he felt that it was not worth it, he had to persuade him hard: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has not made up his mind in this matter." If the eldest brother goes to give His Majesty the initiative to give a softness, there may not be no turnaround. ”

"You also said that Your Majesty listened to Xie Shen, do you think I can be exonerated by admitting my mistake? To tell you the truth, my sister and I went to see Your Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't say anything and sent me back. Am I just going to sit back and wait for me to die? ”

As soon as Zhang Heling said it, he only felt that the stuffiness in his chest was a lot lighter.

Zhang Yanling's heart sank, if this was really a little worse than he imagined.

......

......

"What did Big Brother decide to do?"

Zhang Yanling looked at his brother with a frown, and his tone was full of despair.

In his opinion, the situation of the eldest brother or the Zhang family is very dangerous, even if the queen mother supports the field, it is still possible to develop to the point where it cannot be controlled.

The most important thing is that they are relatives, and in the eyes of civil officials, they are a bunch of waste who eat and wait for death, and almost all civilian officials will support Xie Shen one-sidedly in the head-on conflict with Xie Shen.

Especially when he learned that Shou Ninghou secretly colluded with Dongchang and Jinyiwei to conspire with He Xian, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to frame this Wenhuadian scholar with strong roots.

"So far, it's all the one surnamed Xie who forced me!"

Zhang Heling's heart was ruthless, and he turned his palm into a hand knife and wiped it on his neck: "I found someone to do this, and it's a hundred!" ”

Zhang Yanling was shocked when he heard this, and dissuaded: "Absolutely not." Now that things haven't come to that point, didn't the eldest brother do this to make it clear that the man surnamed Xie is going to die and break the net? ”

"Not to that point?"

Regarding his younger brother's judgment, Zhang Heling sneered.

"My good brother, big brother, I hope things don't come to that point. But that's just wishful thinking. To tell you the truth, even if the eldest brother takes the initiative to soften, the person surnamed Xie will not accept it. ”

"Won't it?"

Zhang Yanling looked at the eldest brother timidly, and asked tentatively: "This person has always had a good reputation in the court, and he did that kind of thing?" ”

It is well known to the world that civil officials cherish feathers, especially Xie Shen, a minister from Hanlin.

"Wind review? My good brother, you believe in that, too. ”

Zhang Heling said hesitantly: "Wind criticism is wind evaluation, those civil officials are really ruthless, and they will never be under our relatives." He now has the evidence in his hand, how can he take the initiative to stop? ”

Zhang Yanling was silent. Yes, if he were Xie Shen, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to back down, after all, the eldest brother had violated Xie Shen too much, and this time it was the joint factory guards and courtiers who framed him, and they wanted to put him to death. In such a situation, how can one hope that he will have great bodhisattva benevolence?

"But I think it's too risky for my eldest brother to do this."

After a long time, Zhang Yanling still sighed.

"It's not called adventure, it's called survival in a desperate situation! If I don't fight, I will definitely lose, and there is still a chance to fight hard. ”

Zhang Heling has already moved to kill at this moment, where can Zhang Yanling be persuaded by a few words of persuasion.

"Big brother, I only need you to say a word, are you willing to share your worries for your eldest brother?"

"I ......"

Zhang Yanling couldn't speak, what the hell is this? Do you want me to kill with you when you get into trouble? It was the Cabinet Scholars who were killed......

"If you don't want to, I won't force my eldest brother, I just don't have you as a younger brother."

Zhang Heling was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yanling's attitude, and he wanted to cut off relations with Zhang Yanling with a wave of his hand.

Zhang Yanling was a little anxious, why did he come out like this.

"Big brother, what did you say. Fighting tiger brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, do we brothers still divide you and me? ”

Zhang Yanling was forced to have no choice, so he had to grit his teeth and stomp his feet to agree.

"Okay, big brother, I didn't hurt you in vain!"

Zhang Heling was overjoyed when he heard this, and motioned for his younger brother to come closer.

Zhang Yanling leaned over, and Zhang Heling lowered his voice and said, "Right now, the person surnamed Xie thinks he has the chance to win, so he will naturally relax his vigilance." So we had someone infiltrate his house and kill him with a single sword, so that there would be no further trouble. ”

"That's it?"

Zhang Yanling thought that his brother had some perfect plan, and he was stunned when he learned that it was such a non-existent solution.

"Or else?"

Zhang Heling frowned and said, "Do you have any better way?" ”

"Big brother, then Xie Shen is a cabinet scholar after all, and there are a lot of guards in the mansion, so he directly asked someone to sneak into his mansion to assassinate him, can he succeed?"

Zhang Yanling's meaning is very clear, at this juncture, sending assassins to assassinate Xie Shen must ensure that the blow is fatal, and Xie Shen must not be allowed to seize the handle, otherwise the Zhang family will really be doomed.

"It's called doing the opposite. The man surnamed Xie thought that I didn't dare to do anything to him, and he couldn't react at this time. ”

Zhang Heling rubbed his palms and said, "But if Gu Dayong sent a fan from the West Factory to guard the thoughtful surnamed Xie, it would indeed be a little difficult to do." ”

"So, Brother Wei means that you are here to attract the attention of Xichang."

"Huh?"

Zhang Yanling obviously couldn't keep up with his brother's thoughts, and he was a little confused.

"At this time, Xie Shen's most guarded thing is you, besides being a brother. As long as you can attract the attention of those two and involve the Xichang fanzi, the dead man who raised for his brother will be able to ensure that the blow is successful. ”

Once hatred is generated, it is difficult to suppress it in a short period of time, and Zhang Heling is now completely red-eyed.

"Yes, but at my brother's command."

Zhang Yanling was really helpless. What else could he say? can only do as Zhang Heling instructs.

To be honest, he is not a person who swallows his anger, it is nothing more than because Xie Shen wants to avoid the limelight.

I can't write two words in one stroke, and since the eldest brother has made up his mind, he can only do it hard.

......

......

"Little Pavilion Elder, you are really like a god."

Gu Dayong gave Xie Shen a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

"Our family has served the emperor for so long, and I have never seen the emperor say no to the queen mother. This time, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother won't be able to save Shou Ninghou. ”

Xie Shen took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Actually, it can't be said that things are like gods, they are all expected." Father-in-law Gu, do you think, how does Your Majesty treat the Zhang family brothers on weekdays? ”

"Naturally, it is a blessing."

"How did the Zhang brothers repay Your Majesty?"

"For the evil master, the fish and the people."

Gu Da said word by word.

"That's it. His Majesty looked at the face of the Queen Mother and was very kind to the Zhang brothers. But the Zhang brothers not only didn't want to repay their kindness, but also relied on the identity of their relatives and did enough bad things. It doesn't matter if they do bad things, it's Your Majesty who bears the infamy. The people who were bullied would only say that it was not good for His Majesty the Emperor to control their relatives, and they would suffer. ”

Gu Dayong nodded frequently: "That's the truth." Hey, so the Zhang brothers have lived up to His Majesty's trust on weekdays. This time it was only His Majesty's anger that exploded. ”

The corners of Xie Shen's mouth hooked up a light smile.

In the final analysis, it still depends on the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Houzhao is really not friendly with these two uncles, his old man has a lot of black pots for the two of them, he has always kept this account in his heart, and it is time to pay it back.
