Chapter 114: Wander around
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Li Chengqian, who had just walked out of the main hall not long ago, was suddenly stopped by the palace people who rushed over.
Chang Yan glared at the palace person, and the palace person's body trembled in fright.
"Panicked, what kind of system, what's wrong?"
The palace people hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Huai'an, it's over." ”
"Second Uncle Ancestor, what?"
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, pulled his legs and turned around to go back to the main hall, but just took a step and stopped.
said to the common saying behind him: "Let's play Chang'an." ”
People die like lights going out, and since Li Shentong died at this juncture, everything in the past has turned into smoke.
It's just that for Li Chengqian, the reputation of forcing a clan elder to death is not very good.
Li Chengqian didn't return to the main hall in the end, but went to rest, and after so long on the road, he couldn't hold it anymore.
There are so many palace people in Jinyang Palace, so they will naturally deal with Li Shentong's body, and then wait for Chang'an to come and take care of Li Shentong's funeral.
After only a short while, Li Chengqian's task of coming to Jinyang has been completed.
Early the next morning, Yang Shou held Wei Zheng's warrant and ordered Sun Dali to take down a cadre of officials from the Bingzhou Assassin's Mansion.
All the administrative powers of the Prefecture Assassin Mansion were taken over by Wei Zheng and Yang Shou.
There are twenty-four officials of the Assassin's Mansion of the Rank, and there are a few minor officials without rank.
There were hundreds of people up and down, and no one in the entire Assassin's Mansion was spared.
After receiving Li Chengqian's instructions, Sun Dali watched the 24 taels of prisoner carts and spared a circle in Jinyang City.
Then he went out of Jinyang and headed for Chang'an.
Zhang Zheng rarely regained the feeling of sleeping lazily in the past, and it was not until the sun rose that he stretched his waist and walked out of the dormitory of the side hall of Jinyang Palace.
But as soon as I went out, I noticed that something seemed wrong with the atmosphere.
All the halls in Jinyang Palace were hung with white spirit flags, and the palace people who passed by in front of Zhang Zheng were all with a smile on their faces.
The first thought that rose in Zhang Zheng's heart was, what happened to Li Chengqian?
Could it be that those clan elders refused to be arrested and killed Li Chengqian?
When I caught a palace person, I found out that it was Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, who died last night.
It turned out that it wasn't Li Chengqian, so it was fine.
As for who Li Shentong was, Zhang Zheng didn't remember it for a while, but felt a little familiar.
Zhang Zheng walked all the way to the front hall and did not see Li Chengqian's figure.
Even Yan Song, the eunuch who served him to sleep last night, was not there.
Zhang Zheng thought about it, Li Chengqian must have gone to mourn Li Shentong.
Although there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, the Tang Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and Li Shentong is also Li Chengqian's elder no matter how he is, so Li Chengqian went to Li Shentong's mourning hall early in the morning.
Since Li Chengqian has something to do, Zhang Zheng doesn't plan to call him.
Asked the palace people waiting in the front hall to help call Yan Song, and asked people to bring him some food, Zhang Zheng began to eat slowly.
After a while, Yan Song wore a white banner on his head and hurriedly walked into the hall from the outside.
"Zhang County man, slave maid, thank you Zhang County man for saving his life."
As soon as Yan Song entered the hall, he knelt beside Zhang Zheng, and at this time he already believed in Zhang Zheng's ability.
Because just after Li Chengqian went to bed last night, Wang De, the old eunuch who followed Li Chengqian.
Personally killed a large number of palace attendants in Jinyang Palace, and the blood stained the entire side hall of Jinyang Palace.
But Wang De didn't say a word about him, the eunuch left behind in Jinyang Palace.
Zhang Zheng ate slowly and methodically, ignoring Yan Song who was kneeling on the ground, and implemented the rule of eating without saying a word.
After eating, wipe your mouth with a towel and clean your hands again.
Then he walked up to Yan Song and said to him, "Get up, go with my son." ”
After speaking, he walked towards the outside of Jinyang Palace, and Yan Song hurriedly got up to follow when he saw this.
Walking out of the gate, Liu San and Chen Yu were already guarding in front of the gate of Jinyang Palace.
The guards greeted Zhang Zheng together: "Shao Langjun." ”
"Morning, everybody."
Zhang Zheng replied, and then waved his hand to refuse the reins handed over by Chen Yu.
After a few days of galloping, the skin on the inner thigh was worn out, and now there is still a faint pain, Zhang Zheng has no interest in riding a horse.
Chen Yu saw that Zhang Zheng was going to walk, so he handed the reins of the horse in his hand to another guard, and asked Zhang Zheng, "Shaolangjun, where are we going now?" ”
"Don't go anywhere, just walk around."
Zhang Zheng replied to Chen Yu and took the lead in walking forward.
The chaos last night didn't seem to affect the lives of the people of Jinyang.
The metropolis of 200,000 people has radiated its due vitality.
is not as solemn as Chang'an, and there are Wuhou patrolling the streets at any time to maintain the stability of Chang'an.
The various shouts from the street make Jinyang a little more breathy of life than Chang'an.
Zhang Zheng easily removed a bag from a small cart pushed by a hawker.
When I opened it, I saw that the chestnuts were boiled and the shells were peeled. I dropped one in my mouth, soft and sweet.
The vendor with the cart saw that the person who came was a young man, dressed luxuriously and extraordinary, and he was only the son of a powerful family.
With a professional and flattering smile on his face, he asked, "Guest officer, it tastes good." ”
"Okay."
Zhang Zheng nodded and threw another one into his mouth.
"Benefit, ten cents."
Zhang Zheng glanced at Chen Yu, Chen Yu untied the money bag around his waist, took out ten copper coins and threw them at the vendor.
As soon as the peddler's sleeves were rolled, he rolled up the ten cents thrown by Chen Yu into his hand.
This is the ability of many small traders, Chen Yu knows, so he will throw money directly.
But Zhang Zheng hadn't seen it, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"Hey, good job, reward!"
If you want to eat these things in Chang'an, just use one look, and the little green dress will prepare it for herself.
Where there is any opportunity to hang out, if you want to go shopping, you also go in and out of those "high-class places" with gentlemen.
Therefore, Zhang Zheng is the first time he has seen the hand of a hawker.
When Chen Yu heard this, he took out ten copper coins and threw them to the vendor, who immediately burst into laughter.
said again and again: "Xie Gongzi reward, Xie Gongzi reward." ”
Then he stretched out his sleeve and rolled it up into his hand.
He looked at the boy in front of him with the eyes of the wings again, hoping to get another reward from him.
But Zhang Zheng turned around and walked directly to the next stall.
Half an hour later, large bags of snacks and special products and other gadgets were hung all over Chen Yu and Liu San.
Zhang Zheng was like a boy with scattered wealth, and almost visited all the lively places in Jinyang.
By the way, I also observed the living conditions of the people in Jinyang, and most of the people lived relatively stable.
On the surface, the assassin who was taken to Chang'an for questioning still made some political achievements for the official side.
The bustling scene of Jinyang is one of the best proofs.
It's a pity that whether the official does well or not is not the same thing as politics, and he is on the wrong team, and Zhang Zheng can't save him.
