Chapter 397: Lord Rong's Past

"Your Majesty, the Internal Affairs Office has selected a new palace maid to replace Miss Yuezhu's position, named Chu Hui, as for her family background, in addition to the Internal Affairs Office's investigation, the slave also asked people to go to her hometown to do an investigation, and there is nothing suspicious."

At this moment, Yan Feifei is reading the letter from Yangzhou, Xie Chengli's side is not very smooth, although Rong Wangye has agreed to borrow grain, but at the same time put forward a request, this year's Spring Festival, Rong Wangye hopes to take his family to Kyoto to congratulate together.

What does this mean, it is impossible for Yan Feifei not to understand.

At the beginning, the first emperor spared the life of Prince Rong, precisely because Prince Rong retreated in time and promised that he would never enter Kyoto, and now, the first emperor has passed away, and Prince Rong seems to feel that Yan Feifei alone is a hairy boy who can no longer suppress him.

"Zhang Jiang, when you were serving by the emperor's side, did you ever see Prince Rong, what kind of person do you think he is?" Yan Feifei asked thoughtfully.

Zhang Jiang paused for a moment, and then replied, "Prince Rong has not come to the palace many times, but as far as the slaves have seen, in fact, Prince Rong is not an ambitious person, although he also participated in the rebellion at the beginning, it seems that he was more forced to join the camp, and then he had to be forgiven by the emperor and gave him Yangzhou, and he also left the rebel party very happily, but after all, people are separated from each other, and the slaves do not know much about Lord Rong, Your Majesty is only a reference." ”

Zhang Jiang actually had a lot of points in this paragraph, and Yan Feifei grabbed one of them, "You said he was forced to join the rebel camp?" What is the reason for this? ”

"This minion has only heard that there are deeper reasons for this, maybe Scholar Zhang Zuo will know something."

Zhang Zuo was in the period of the first emperor, although he did not hold an important position in the court, but his elder brother was friendly with Prince Rong, and the two families had close contacts, maybe he really knew.

"Zhang Jiang, you go to prepare the carriage, I want to visit the university scholars."

"Your Majesty, what about Chu Hui?"

"Now that you've investigated, let her take office, and just observe more on weekdays."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the carriage stopped at the door of Zhang's mansion, Yan Feifei also showed the same expression as Xie Chengli, and she asked Zhang Jiangdao: "Zhang Jiang, how is the money I give to the university scholar on weekdays?" It didn't hurt him, did it? How is this ...... How do you live in a place like this? ”

Zhang Jiang smiled, "Your Majesty, don't you know about university scholars?" Scholars care about the common people, and often use their own money to help poor families, and naturally, their own lives are worse. ”

"But how come the scholar never told me about these things? If I did, I would have better support him. ”

The door was opened, and it was Zhang Zuo's wife who came out to greet her, although there were no expensive ornaments on her body, but that calm and calm temperament made people respect.

When Mrs. Zhang saw Yan Feifei, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Your Majesty is here, please come in, Your Majesty is coming to the Humble House, and we can't entertain you with anything valuable for a while, and please forgive Your Majesty." ”

Yan Feifei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Madame, what are you talking about, I came here to discuss with the scholars this time, and I came here without saying hello, so I should ask Madame for forgiveness." ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Yan Feifei's expression, as kind and kind as looking at her own daughter, "Your Majesty, come in, it's cold outside, beware of catching a cold." ”

"Excuse me, ma'am."

Because tomorrow is the day of rest, the ministers are resting at home, Yan Feifei really can't wait, so he hurriedly rushed over today, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhang Zuo sitting by the fire with a somewhat shabby cloak.

As soon as Yan Feifei entered the house, he realized that something was wrong, why was this still leaking?

"Zhang Jiang, you go and let people see where the air leaks in this house, let people make up the air leaks, and bring a few more pieces of charcoal by the way."

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be busy, the minister is not cold." ”

Yan Feifei sighed deeply, "Scholar, you are not cold, but I am cold." ”

Zhang Zuo was speechless, silent, Mrs. Zhang on the side saw her husband being scolded, she also snickered very unrighteously, and then said: "Your Majesty, husband, you talk first, I'll make you a cup of hot tea." ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

Yan Feifei gathered his big, sat on the chair, and said bluntly the purpose of his visit, "Scholar, I heard that your brother once had a good relationship with Prince Rong, but is there such a thing?" ”

"It's true, I don't know why Your Majesty suddenly asked about it?"

"And where is your brother now?"

"My brother passed away a few years ago due to illness."

Yan Feifei was stunned, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry scholar, I didn't know about it before. ”

Zhang Zuo smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty, this life, old age, sickness and death is karma, when the time comes, I will naturally leave, I have lived for so long, I have already seen through it, Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart, I guess, Your Majesty came this time, but I want to ask about Lord Rong?" But what trouble did Mrs. Xie encounter when she went to borrow grain? ”

Yan Feifei nodded, "The scholar guessed well, although Prince Rong agreed to borrow grain, but he asked to bring his family to Kyoto for the New Year this year, and the scholar also knew that the emperor had made an agreement with him that he would not set foot in Kyoto again in this life, you say, what is the reason why Prince Rong made this request?" In the eyes of the scholars, what kind of person is Prince Rong? ”

Zhang Zuo looked at the goose feather snow floating outside the window, and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was stuck in a memory.

After a long time, he said: "The first time I saw Prince Rong, it was when I was nine years old, when Prince Rong had just won the battle and won the favor of Emperor Yan Ren, it can be described as high-spirited, but it didn't take long for Prince Rong to be snubbed because of his remarks against Emperor Yan Ren in the court, and he was gradually not reused, at that time, he came to my brother every day to drink alcohol, and my brother also had the same pain because he had no way to serve the country, and then Prince Rong gradually withdrew from the government and became an idle prince, I can know from my brother's mouth that Prince Rong still cares about Dayan very much, and often puts forward some useful insights for my brother to play, until, Emperor Yan Renhuang is seriously ill, and the former emperor, who has always been inconspicuous, began to show his ambitions and began to suppress other princes everywhere in the court. ”
