Chapter 022: Concession

Longhua Hall enters a small courtyard in the west, which is the internal supervision room of the Si Liwei.

Zhang Ping hummed and chirped and lay on the couch near the window, and the little apprentice Cui Xi carefully applied the medicinal powder to his leg according to the light that penetrated through the Ming Wa, and secretly glanced at Zhang Ping's face, "Master, try to make your old man angry, I also want to say more, you really don't need to be stabbed today." Yanling County didn't promise us anything good......"

"What do bastard boys know, are you so shallow in my eyelids, are you here to curry favor with Yanling County?"

Zhang Ping pointed to a few dark green brocade pillows beside him, Cui Xi stopped and put down the medicine jar, supported his back with one hand and stuffed the pillow under him with the other, Zhang Ping slightly supported his arms and sat up on the edge of the couch.

Seeing that the most pleasing little apprentice looked at him with big eyes flashing with a clever face, looking forward to the next words, he sighed lightly with relief: "The things we did to the first emperor, if this one knew about it, it would not be eaten alive." ”

Cui Xi obediently kneaded and pressed Zhang Ping's shoulder and arm, and his eyes flashed when he heard this, "But Master, didn't you sell the King of Yanling County a favor before?" The teacher informed him to bring Futu Sanwei into the palace Qingjun's side, but this person was unlucky, not as fast as Lin Shifan. ”

They had the audacity to hide the terminally ill emperor, just because they recognized that what the Li sisters and brothers were planning would not succeed, and that if they hid the emperor, they could sell their personal favors to their successors.

"The king of Yanling County, this foolish worm, I did it so secretly, how could he know and be grateful to me if I didn't find out."

Zhang Ping sighed secretly, afraid of retaliation after Yuan Zheng ascended the throne was one reason, and the other reason was that he had always loved yellow and white things, and the first emperor could do it when he was there. If Yuan Zheng became the emperor, Wen Jiusheng, Lin Shifan and the Wei family would not sit idly by and watch him behave like this. Unless it's not Yuan Zheng, replacing it with the stupid thing of Yanling County is the best choice.

"I understand what the master means, it's because the apprentices are not smart enough, but they are tired of your old man's suffering."

Cui Xi thought to himself, although due to the provocation of the Li sisters and brothers, the first emperor was already quite jealous of King Zhen during his lifetime, but all along, the first emperor treated Yuan Zheng on the surface of the uncle-nephew relationship after all, and the new emperor has always advocated "benevolence and filial piety" to calm the heart of Qingliu, and they will naturally not be let go of those things that they have done to the first emperor.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and since it is possible to be jealous of the new emperor, then the king of Yanling County, who is extremely dissatisfied with the new emperor's ascension, can be regarded as a temporary ally.

Seeing that the little apprentice had already understood his intentions, Zhang Ping picked up the tea cup on the case and took a sip, closing his eyes comfortably, "Everyone who knows about that incident has been eliminated, right?" ”

"Master, how many times have you asked, and you are still not at ease with your apprentice's affairs? Now except for you and me and the second senior brother Yao Gui, there is no one elseβ€”even the senior brother doesn't know. Cui Xi has thick eyebrows and a broad face, plus a pair of big eyes full of alertness, and it is also very pleasing to be coquettish in a soft voice.

Zhang Pinggui was the first eunuch of the Si Liwei, and his subordinates had three apprentices according to the order, and the eldest apprentice was in charge of the tribute from overseas to the imperial city in the city, which was the most abundant fat difference in the inner prison.

In recent years, Zhang Ping has gradually grown old and has low energy, so he wants to collect enough money to retire, and now all the affairs in the palace are taken care of by the second apprentice Yao Gui. Cui Xi is a little apprentice who was accepted after he got older, he is smart and alert, and he is very filial to him, so he has been staying by his side to serve.

Cui Xi beat Zhang Ping's shoulders and pinched his back to serve tea, and on the other hand, he only told some interesting stories that had happened in the palace and outside the palace to make the master happy, what senior brother got married in the palace and was actually the little palace maid of Yanling County's mother back then, and Princess Jiahe painted a fan and quietly took it outside the palace to sell it for nearly a hundred taels of silver.

The two were talking about Xingtou, and the person who was caught up in the small fire in the outer courtyard whispered under the corridor: "Grandpa, Lord Lin Shifan and the second son of the Wei family are asking to see outside. ”

The two of them immediately restrained their smiles, Zhang Ping lowered his face and ordered to invite someone, and then Cui Xi removed the pillow and let him lie down, humming and chirping with a bitter face, while Cui Xi stood aside respectfully.

After hearing that people entered the house, Zhang Ping frowned more and more and looked at Lin Shifan, and his eyes swept over the pale Wei Chengye beside him, "Lord Lin, please forgive our family for being rude, the leg injury has just stopped bleeding now, and I can't give you a salute." ”

Lin Shifan waved his hand and said that he didn't dare, and sat on the red sandalwood official hat chair at the top under Cui Xi's guidance, waved his hand to hand over the medicine bag and tonic things brought by the entourage behind him to Cui Xi to accept, and said to Zhang Ping with an apologetic face: "I entrusted the military doctor, wrapped a few pairs of knife wound medicine for internal and external use, and selected a few old ginseng, Father-in-law Zhang will take care of it well, and now His Majesty has just ascended to the treasure, it is time to reuse Father-in-law." ”

"Your Majesty ascended the throne as a young man, and he is in his prime, our family is now old after all, and he is shameless in front of the saint."

Zhang Ping squinted slightly, and in the pale orange sunset cast by Mingwa, a few strands of gray messy hair were particularly eye-catching, and his voice was also like a gossamer, and people who didn't know the details would really think that he was seriously injured. Even Cui Xi beside him stared at him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Alas, Lin Shifan sighed lightly, as if he deeply understood Zhang Ping's emotion, put down the teacup in his hand heavily, and suddenly raised his voice and said to Wei Chengye: "Don't hurry up and make amends!" ”

Shifan got up and pulled Wei Chengye and pushed him to the front of the couch, Zhang Ping and Cui Xi both saw the young man grinning in pain, only to find that his left hand was wrapped in several layers of thick white gauze, faintly bleeding, "It's all this kid messing around, hurting Father-in-law Zhang, and he has already punished him when he goes home today." This child was spoiled by his grandmother, Mrs. Wen, when he was young, and now that his father and mother are gone, there is no one to discipline him and love to get into trouble. I'm really sorry for my sister-in-law as an uncle! ”

Avoiding the important and lightly saying that the hurt things under the anger of the emperor are the collision of the child's lack of discipline, and the words also brought the most respected nurse of the first emperor, Zhang Ping didn't dare to say anything more no matter how old he relied on the old and sold the old, so he had to smile bitterly and said dryly: "The child is really pitiful, and he also lacks some experience." ”

"In the future, I will persuade Your Majesty to study, and the other things will be taken care of by the adults and fathers-in-law, so don't meddle recklessly! is also a father-in-law who is generous, and does not care about you in general, as a junior, you are not allowed to be ignorant, and thank your father-in-law quickly. ”

Shifan was even more kind, leaned towards Zhang Ping, and beat Wei Chengye sharply.

Cui Xi almost laughed when he heard this, but he peeked at Zhang Ping and didn't notice it, so he lowered his eyes and continued to stand bent, but he figured it out in his heart.

Zhang Ping gave the steps, Lin Shifan was busy finishing the matter, and the first half of the sentence was expressed to Zhang Ping, this reckless boy is just a companion and has no right to do anything else, and the second half of the sentence is a hint that Wei Chengye is a junior, and the master is a respected senior who will not be embarrassed by him - originally, although there is a reason for the incident, the master has really transgressed this matter.

What a character Lin Shifan is, and what kind of background is Wei Chengye, an important heir in the eyes of the Wei family and the in-law Wen family, so it is already very attractive to visit him like this.

Before leaving, Lin Shifan pulled Wei Chengye to salute Zhang Parallel, and asked Zhang Ping to take care of the juniors in the palace, which was entrusted by the three families of Wei, Wen and Lin.

Zhang Ping dared to hold it up again, he was busy responding, he couldn't get up from the couch to return the salute, and he pricked up his ears and heard that the two of them were led out by the inner supervisor before he let out a breath, and his eyes gradually filled with gloom.

"Lin Shifan and Wen Jiusheng are both on the side of the little emperor - and they are considerate of them, and Yanling County will not be left behind." After saying that, patting Cui Xi, who was kneeling in front of the couch to rub his legs, Cui Xi lowered his head, his big eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything.
