Chapter 3 Zhang Mojian
At this moment, in the Qianhuang City, the capital of the Qianlong Empire, Gao Tianyang, the most powerful emperor of the Qianlong Empire in the Qianlong Continent, was in a state of rage.
The two dense folds were tightly clenched in his hands, and Zhang Mojian, the prime minister of the empire on the side, was in a cold sweat, his eyes were fixed on the toes of His Majesty the Emperor Gao Tianyang, but he felt the ground rise and fall, and his two feet couldn't help bending and trembling; Ma Rulong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, hurriedly turned sideways and blocked in front of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, with a solemn look on his face.
His Majesty the Emperor slowly spread out the secret letter in his palm, and said, "Today, the prince and the third prince, as well as Yao Qian, the grandson of Yao Yushi, Liu Yanxin, the son of Liu Shilang, Li Huayu, the grandson of Li Taifu, and Yang ......... Waiting for others to hunt outside the eastern suburbs, three high-headed tigers burst out of the forest at the beginning of the year, and they were extremely powerful, as if they had different bloodlines.
The three princes and their servants went away one by one, the prince and his servants went away one by one, and Liu Yanxin, the son of Liu Shilang, and the rest of the team chased the last big tiger.
There seems to be a sudden change on the way, the prince ordered the attendants to capture the tiger alive, the prince then rode away alone, several teams of men and horses caught the tiger and then converged at the mouth of the eastern suburbs but did not see the prince at the end of noon. ”
After reading this, His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly, and then ordered Prime Minister Zhang Mojian and Janissary Commander Ma Rulong to come to the imperial study.
Poor Zhang Mojian was seventy-five years old, and when he received the emperor's announcement, he immediately whipped his horse and rode to the Qianhuang City alone.
As soon as the front foot stepped into the imperial study, the latter fold followed closely on the table of the imperial study.
The book said: "In an early moment, the hussar general Gao Haoyu appeared in the air outside the eastern suburbs, and in a quarter and a half of an hour, five hundred and forty princes and guards appeared outside the eastern suburbs. In less than three moments, the hussar general Gao Haoyu left the eastern suburbs with the prince who was stained red with blood. ”
"Whew~" exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and His Majesty the Emperor Gao Tianyang suppressed the strength in his heart; Prime Minister Zhang Cheng on the side finally felt better, and Ma Rulong, the commander of the forbidden army, retreated to the side.
"I wonder what Zhang Cheng thinks about this matter?" Gao Tianyang asked.
Zhang Mojian pondered for a moment and then replied, "In the opinion of the minister, this matter is intended to provoke the relationship between His Majesty and Prince Wu, and the plot is not evil, and the plan is not far-reaching, and his intentions are ............" Zhang Chengxiang was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Okay, Prime Minister Zhang, you don't even say a word to me about replying to Your Majesty, do you think that if I care about what you say, will your head be enough to cut off?"
Gao Tianyang waved his hand, "This is not the court, you don't have to fool me with these words." Whatever you think, just say it. ”
"Thank you for your majesty's grace not to kill, the minister thinks that this matter is due to the collusion between people in the court and foreign thieves, with the intention of making my court ............ internal turmoil" As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face on the side finally eased and turned dark again, and poor Zhang Mojian was interrupted again.
"Bold, you are a good Zhang Mojian. I told you how dare you say it, do you know how many people's heads will fall to the ground when you say this? Gao Tianyang couldn't help but interrupt Prime Minister Zhang again.
"The minister thinks that it is not a pity for such a chaotic minister and thief to die, and the relationship between His Majesty and Prince Wu will not be damaged because of this. The top priority is to send the imperial doctor to Tianwu City immediately to treat the prince, and then His Majesty will personally go to the Taoist system to ask the immortal family for the prince to send the immortal medicine to Tianwu City, and the safety of the prince is the top priority at the moment.
Moreover, when His Majesty was angry before, not only was it difficult for the old minister to continue, but Commander Ma was also struggling to support him, so the minister concluded that His Majesty had broken through the shackles of the Eight Rank Grandmaster. This fact is fortunate that there are already several supreme masters in the world above the court.
It is better to use this incident as an excuse to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the court, and after three or five years of soldiers, it is possible to dominate the world...... Mutter... "Zhang Mojian consciously picked up the cup on the table and poured himself a glass of water.
"Moreover, the three major empires have been safe for nearly ten years since Prince Wu became the legendary grandmaster of the Ten Realms, and this incident can also be used as a reason for His Majesty and Prince Wu to send troops.
Those short-eyed rats thought that Prince Wu had been ranked at the pinnacle of our court, and after the hereditary replacement of the prince, it would definitely arouse His Majesty's suspicion. Zhang Mojian put down the cup and continued.
"Oh! Prime Minister Zhang, aren't you afraid that this matter is really what I did? The Emperor asked jokingly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is the first to disbelieve it, although the emperor's family has no family affection, but the brotherhood between His Majesty and Prince Wu will never be questioned by the old man." Zhang Mojian replied.
"You are wrong Prime Minister Zhang, I really knew about this matter in advance." The Emperor spoke slowly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mojian and Ma Rulong on the side were suddenly struck by lightning and were stunned.
"Prince Wu personally told me about this. Ha ha! His Majesty the Emperor Gao Tianyang had a narrow smile on his face.
The two of them moved their throats at the same time, raised their hands to wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads, and their movements were uniform.
"Prime Minister Zhang, you old thing, if I don't scare you, you really dare to say anything. have begun to evaluate my family affairs, how many heads do you Zhang Mojian have? His Majesty the Emperor had a treacherous smile on his face.
"The old minister thanked His Majesty for not killing." Zhang Mojian took a step back and bowed to the end. This is a heartfelt statement, and he knows the measurement of Emperor Gao Tianyang; Otherwise, with his Zhang Mojian's temperament, let alone being the prime minister of the dynasty, maybe he would have to be pushed out and beheaded when he saw the emperor for the first time.
To say that Zhang Mojian's career is indeed full of legendary experience, although Zhang Mojian is now seventy-five years old, it is no problem to have the strength of a six-rank martial artist to regenerate a dragon and a tiger for thirty years.
Zhang Mojian was born in a butcher's family in the Qianlong Empire, his father and mother killed pigs in the town every day to buy meat, and his parents were illiterate in big characters, Zhang Mojian was often teased when he was a child.
So Zhang Mojian started studying at the age of five, but he didn't even get into the show at the age of thirty. There was no gentleman who was willing to teach him anymore, so Zhang Mojian had to start traveling around to study, which coincided with the travel of Gao Tianyang, who was still the prince at the time, and his party.
Zhang Mojian saw that this person was wearing a dragon robe, isn't this the emperor? ran up and bowed down and said that he wanted a showman, Gao Tianyang amused him and asked him, "Since you have the courage to come and block my way, why only have a showman?" ”
Zhang Mojian said, "I want to show talent, the grass people have been studying for 25 years, and they still haven't been admitted to the show talent, so the grass people want to show talent." ”
"Would you like to come and study with me? You have to take the test yourself. Gao Tianyang, who was still the prince at the time, thought that this person was interesting, so he started to love talent.
As soon as Zhang Mojian heard that there was a book to read, he agreed to come down, and he consciously followed the back of the team.
After two years of studying by the prince's side, he asked him to go to the Hanlin Academy to seal a revision from the Hanlin Academy. stayed in the Hanlin Academy every day and couldn't come out, and three years later, when Zhao Chenglin, the five-rank forward guard, came to the Hanlin Academy, he had a conflict with Zhang Mojian.
Zhao Chenglin is the son of Zhao Shanhe, the king of Zhenbei, naturally he will not give a small face-saving to the Hanlin Academy, and scolded Zhang Mojian in front of a group of literati and scholars for being a nerd who can't kill chickens, and even made a move during the period, the thirty-five-year-old Zhang Mojian has been studying since he was a child, where is Zhao Chenglin, a military general in his early twenties, the enemy of Zhao Chenglin, Zhao Chenglin put Zhang Mojian in more than a dozen poses with one hand.
It was from the second-grade Hanlin University scholar Tao Yuan Hong who came forward to pull Zhang Mojian back, although Zhang Mojian couldn't beat Zhao Chenglin, but he persevered, and his nose and face were swollen and he had to rush up.
After this incident, Zhang Mojian decided to abandon literature and martial arts, and went to the door of the East Palace to rely on not leaving, but he asked for a secret book from the prince Gao Tianyang, and returned to the Hanlin Academy to move books and practice martial arts.
Ten years later, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and took this old-fashioned and straightforward old man to Yang Wenjie, the Shaoqing of Zhengsipin Dali Temple, and became a bachelor again.
After fifteen years of officialdom, the old man finally achieved the rank of cabinet bachelor from the second rank at the age of sixty. At the age of seventy, he did the order of the dynasty from the first product of Shangshu and the prime minister.
