Afraid that the father and mother who stayed at home would be worried, after Shu Yu was busy, he specially found Wang Ping and asked him to go to Xiushui Hezi Town to spread a message when he was free, saying that they had been called to stay in the paddock in the past few days and would not go home.

Zhang Lihu and his wife, who got the news, were much calmer this time than the excitement and excitement they had heard of their daughter and son-in-law being summoned by the emperor for the first time, but they just asked Wang Ping to tell Han Yan and Shu Yu to be cautious in their words and deeds, so as not to offend the emperor and invite death.

Especially to be optimistic about Xiao Wangzhi, boys are naughty and mischievous, in case they collide with nobles, it will not be good.

Because of the last raid on the Hora King's Tent and the investigation of the thief who colluded with Tuhuan to assassinate Emperor Yuanjia, Wang Ping has now been successfully promoted to the confidant and personal guard of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he naturally knew the identity of Xiao Wangzhi for a long time.

But because of the request for secrecy from above, he couldn't talk to Zhang Orion and his wife more, so he could only guarantee that the words would definitely be brought, and inform them that Han Yan's family of three had Zhen Guogong help take care of them in the paddock, so they didn't have to worry.

……

The next day, Zhenguo Gong went to Yinfeng Pavilion to present the statute of the welcome ceremony to Emperor Yuanjia.

Emperor Yuan Jia attached great importance to this, and stayed in the town to discuss for a whole day, and finally determined all the details of the process, and according to his physical condition, the time of the final return ceremony was set on November 16.

Prior to this, it is strictly forbidden to divulge Xiao Wangzhi's identity.

However, in addition to insiders, there are always smart people who can see the clues, and Xie Zhiyi is one of them.

He, Han Yan and Zhuang Xian, used to study together in Guozijian, and also worshiped under the door of Guozijian Jiu Zhang Tingzhi, although there is a sequence of time to study, but there are always opportunities to meet, not to mention that the free and uninhibited Han Yan and Zhuang Xian are famous in Guozijian and even among the children of powerful people in the capital.

Xie Zhiyi, a poor scholar from the grass, was able to become a national eunuch by virtue of his hard work and talent, and worshiped under the door of the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, in order to have a good future, he naturally had to make more friends with characters like Han Yan.

Not only have I seen it, but I must also carefully figure out the temperament of this person, so that I can have a deep friendship.

Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for him to be appreciated by his father-in-law Chen Youliang, who was the household servant at the time, and married his young daughter to him.

So although there are only a few faces, Xie Zhiyi is extremely impressed by Han Yan.

The two had never looked at each other head-on before, and Han Yan specially avoided being recognized by acquaintances, and slightly modified his makeup, which was very low-key, so Xie Zhiyi naturally didn't notice him.

But a master in a rural cottage was summoned by Emperor Yuanjia one after another, and Xie Zhiyi, who had a keen sense of politics, had to pay more attention.

This attention made him suspicious of the identity of Han Yan, who was particularly groomed with his eyebrows and eyes.

When he saw Han Yan and Zhuang Xian collide head-on one day and stopped gossiping, Xie Zhiyi became more and more sure of his guess.

Although Zhuang Xian is easy-going and carefree, and his friends are not informal, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be a person who can talk to an elegant and elegant master.

Unless, they've known each other for a long time!

Thinking back to the past when Han Yan and Zhuang Xian were studying in Guozijian, it is not difficult to guess the true identity of Han Yan, who has a rare old demeanor between his eyebrows.

guessed Han Yan's identity, and Xiao Wangzhi's appearance was particularly thought-provoking.

- Emperor Yuan Jia can appreciate Han Yan and his wife, who is also the master of the academy, will he even summon their children because of this?

Han Yan is a celebrity in Kangping County and even the entire Liaodong Mansion, Xie Zhiyi casually asked a local official, and he found out the situation of Han Yan's family of three.

In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Yuanjia, Yanjia Hall went to the water, and Concubine Duan unfortunately died; In the winter of the seventeenth year of Yuanjia, Han Yan came to Badger Village with a seven or eight-month-old child; In the early summer of the seventeenth year of Yuanjia, Concubine Duan, who was more than seven months pregnant, unfortunately miscarried......

After thinking about it carefully, Xie Zhiyi was shocked.

Thinking about Zhuang Xian's actions in Beijing in recent years, and Zhuang Xian and Han Duan were obviously not in the entourage, but they dredged the way and deliberately followed Emperor Yuanjia to the north to "make a mistake", Xie Zhiyi knew that he had touched the truth, and he was so excited that he could hardly help himself.

His chance to take another step forward is already in front of him!

From the dragon's merits, that is a shortcut to becoming an official!

Xie Zhiyi's heart was surging, and from the next day, she approached Zhuang Xian and Han Duan through the friendship of the same family, enhanced the relationship, and waited for the opportunity to get a glimpse.

Occasionally, he also took advantage of the friendship with Zhen Guogong not long ago to arrest Zhao Ji, and talked about the government and military affairs with him, talked eloquently, quoted scriptures, and sometimes had new police opinions, which attracted Zhen Guogong's appreciation, and bluntly said that this person is on par with Han Yan, and he must be two bright pearls in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If you work hard enough, you will naturally have a great chance of seeing Xiao Wangzhi.

Xie Zhiyi knew that since the boss had tried his best to conceal Xiao Wangzhi's identity until now, he must have special concerns, so he didn't pick on Xiao Wangzhi's identity, but when he met him, he was extraordinarily gentle and patient, and from time to time he threw out his full stomach to learn, which attracted Xiao Wangzhi's admiration.

When Zhen Guogong and Xiao Wangzhi mentioned Xie Zhiyi more times, Han Yan had to pay attention.

Although he and Xie Zhiyi are in the same family, because he has traveled with Liu Zhenren all the year round, he is not very familiar with Xie Zhiyi and his person.

Zhuang Xian mentioned Xie Zhiyi to him in the letter, and in addition to admiring Xie Zhiyi's talent, he sighed cautiously.

However, such a cautious and self-controlled person was unusual, but before leaving Beijing, he suddenly took the initiative to interact with Zhuang Xian frequently, and now he has repeatedly made friends with Zhenguo Gong, which is really contrary to common sense.

Han Yan asked Zhen Guogong and Xiao Wangzhi a few words, and both of them praised Xie Zhiyi's talent and ability, and there was no doubt about it.

There was no way, Han Yan had no choice but to quietly find Zhuang Xian to understand the situation.

When I got there and asked, I learned that Xie Zhiyi had not only been in frequent contact with Zhenguo Gong recently, but also had a chance encounter with Xiao Wangzhi, but also came to make friends with Zhuang Xian and Han Duan from time to time!

"I think this person is far from being as cautious, humble, simple and benevolent as he seems on the surface." Han Yan frowned and hesitated.

Zhuang Xian looked at the tent curtain and saw that his henchmen were still guarding outside the tent, so he replied in a low voice: "Who said it wasn't." I think that since the end of August, when the Holy Emperor decreed the world to go out of Beijing to go north for autumn hunting, he has been a little abnormal.

"It's just that he has always been cautious, and no matter how much I try to investigate, I can't find anything."

Han Yan frowned and pondered, and after a while, he suddenly chuckled and asked Zhuang Xian, "You say, why has Lord Xie been cautious all the time?" ”

"Naturally, it is to gain a stable foothold in officialdom and not be affected by anything!" Zhuang Xian blurted out without thinking.
