After hearing Mr. Wen's words, Zhang Yansheng couldn't help but be stunned, the privy envoy Wang Han and Zhang Qian have always been at odds, and even rarely talked in the last dynasty, how could they come to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time?

Zhang Yansheng hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wen, do you need me to go and greet him?" ”

Mr. Wen shook his head slowly and said, "No, you are not suitable to appear now." Easy reading for mobile phones: α. Organize [bubble!] Book!! Surpass! Speed! Head! ]”

"Why?" Zhang Yansheng asked strangely: "Is there something big going on in the court?" ”

Mr. Wen smiled faintly and said, "For many people, it is indeed a big deal. Didn't your grandfather say to you? Wang Han has a granddaughter named Wang Min, it is rumored that she has a good appearance and character, and her age is also appropriate. Looking at Wang Han's expression when he came to the mansion today, it seemed that he agreed to this marriage. ”

Hearing Mr. Wen's explanation, Zhang Yansheng's body shook slightly, and then nodded slowly.

He didn't know about this, and Zhang Qian wouldn't let him know, as usual, Zhang Qian paved the way, and then Zhang Yansheng just kept going down the road, whether Zhang Yansheng himself liked this road or not.

This is a political marriage.

Zhang Qian and Wang Han have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and no one can help anyone, but in the battle, both sides have suffered a lot of losses. I think both sides are aware of this problem, so they are ready to make peace.

At the very least, the two are to maintain a semblance of peace for the next period of time.

And the means for the two to maintain peace is the engagement between Zhang Yansheng and Wang Min.

It's just that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, Zhang Yansheng has no doubt, as long as there is a chance, Zhang Qian will still not hesitate to bring down Wang Han, after all, the position of privy envoy is too important, Zhang Qian simply does not allow it to fall into the hands of others, and this marriage, in addition to buying time for Zhang Qian to calmly arrange, is also to paralyze Wang Han.

But Wang Han and Neng Zhang Qian have been fighting for many years, but they have only fallen slightly, they are cunning and cunning, how can they not see through Zhang Qian's thoughts? Perhaps the reason why he agreed to this marriage was that the purpose was no different from Zhang Qian.

As for how Zhang Yansheng and Wang Min should get along in the future in this context, they will not consider it when they come to them.

One qiē is just to gain more power in his hands, and compared with it, other sacrifices are worth it.

Zhang Yansheng saw this very clearly, he was born in the prime minister's family, and he had been personally cultivated by Zhang Qian for many years, and he already knew these ways.

But he was incapable of resisting, and there was no reason to refuse.

Zhang Yansheng's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

"I see, I'll listen to my grandfather's arrangement."

Zhang Yansheng replied.

Mr. Wen nodded, and after chatting with Zhang Yansheng for a while, he left, leaving Zhang Yansheng alone in the study.

Zhang Yansheng sat back at the desk, forced himself to maintain a normal expression, and slowly picked up the book "Immortal Dao Quest", but now he can't read it anymore.

The life of the protagonist in the story seems to him to be more like a constant irony.

Slowly, Zhang Yansheng put the scroll in his hand on the candle and silently watched this story he once liked slowly burn to ashes.

"Since I am destined to embark on this path, then I should continue to walk with peace of mind, instead of thinking about other impossible things, maybe, I will gain more than what I lost, right?"

Muttering to himself, Zhang Yansheng let go of his hand and let the book that had turned into a ball of fire fall to the ground and turn into ashes, and the flames gradually faded, just like some of the flames that had burned in Zhang Yansheng's heart gradually dimmed and disappeared in an instant.

In the study, the scholar who was waiting beside Zhang Yansheng looked at Zhang Yansheng's expression at the moment, and his eyes were full of worry.

He is a very simple person, and he has always admired Zhang Yansheng very simply, although Zhang Yansheng is not much older than him, and it is precisely because of his simplicity that Zhang Yansheng has always taken him with him.

At this moment, looking at Zhang Yansheng's appearance, he was very worried, he knew that Zhang Yansheng was very unhappy, but he had nothing to do about it.

In fact, in recent years, Zhang Yansheng seems to have never been happy, but today, at this moment, all the helplessness and unhappiness in Zhang Yansheng's heart seem to explode in some silent way, and in the explosion, there is some subtle qualitative change.

The scholar suddenly thought that Zhang Yansheng had said more than once in recent days that he wanted to meet the author of "Immortal Quest", and couldn't help but secretly think: "It is said that the person who wrote this story is from Yunzhou, and Steward Zhan is also from Yunzhou, it seems that his family also has some power in Yunzhou, I wonder if he can help Gongzi find this person?" Childe has been in a bad mood during this time, but if he can really find that person, Childe will definitely be a lot happier? ”

At the same time, outside Zhang Yansheng's study, Mr. Wen did not leave, but kept secretly observing Zhang Yansheng's reaction outside the window, and after a long time, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Mr. Wen's eyes, and finally turned around and left.

"After this incident, the third prince should be able to take a step closer to the expectations of the prime minister?"

As the figure gradually faded into the night, Mr. Wen thought secretly in his heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the center of the capital, there is the imperial palace of the Chu Dynasty, which is heavily guarded, magnificent, and the lights are constantly lit all night.

In the palace, the core location is the Xuanzheng Palace, which is also the place where Emperor Chu Ling handles government affairs on a daily basis.

Of course, although Emperor Chu Ling often stayed in the Xuanzheng Palace, he rarely had time to deal with government affairs, and most of the time, he was here to study Taoist alchemy or read the articles of a certain literati.

At this moment, Emperor Chu Ling, like Zhang Yansheng, held the "Quest for the Immortal Dao" and looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he finally put down the scroll in his hand, sighed and smiled at the eunuchs around him: "The person who wrote this story is a genius, dare to think about what others have not thought, I have not seen such an interesting story for a long time, and I am unconsciously addicted to it and can't extricate myself." It's a pity that this story is only two volumes, and half of it is gone, which is inevitably anxious. ”

The story of "Quest for the Immortal Dao" has recently become quite famous in the capital, and a eunuch knew the habits and preferences of Emperor Chu Ling, so he hurriedly bought two copies and dedicated them to Emperor Chu Ling.

After hearing Emperor Chu Ling's sigh, the eunuch who was waiting next to him hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the servant go to the bookseller and ask for the manuscript in the back, so that you can read it first?" Or can we just ask the person who wrote the story and ask him to tell you the rest of the story alone? ”

Emperor Chu Ling smiled: "Nonsense, how can you disrupt other people's plans just for me?" What's more, when it comes to writing a book, whether it is Confucian scriptures or this kind of immortal story, you need to keep a normal heart, you force the person who wrote the book to find him, so that his heart is confused, how can you continue to write the story behind? Don't do any of these boring things, as long as you buy me the next volume of this story as soon as it comes out. ”

I have to say that although Emperor Chu Ling is not a competent and good emperor, he is a kind and kind person.

Although history has proven countless times that the last quality that should appear in an emperor is the so-called "kindness".

And just when the capital was bustling, Xiao Mo came to his new residence under Deng Shangquan's arrangement and continued his ordinary life as always.
