Chapter 36: Rivals

Since Emperor Wu decided to leave Zhang Changzong, no amount of advice was useless.

Moving out of the previous rhetoric of providence to cut off life, it has taken a long time, and when it comes to the day when it is really needed, it can only become a child who calls a wolf, and no one believes it. For Zhang Changzong, who did not become a climate, Shen Sanwen naturally would not use this way.

Xue Huaiyi has been in the palace for a few years, and he has been extremely boring, running to the White Horse Temple on the edge of Luoyang City from time to time, and often reminiscing with Emperor Wu, it is still good to be in the Ganye Temple, everything is difficult to do, everything can be discussed well, and he does not feel that he is a useless person, or the White Horse Temple makes him feel comfortable.

After being by the emperor's side for a long time, Xue Huaiyi still learned a lot of things, he is not a person with eight faces, if the emperor is unhappy, it is not wrong to mention more things in the past.

Emperor Wu should really have some affection for this old man, connived at him to make many mistakes, and never really punished him.

Now that there is a newcomer in the palace, Xue Huaiyi doesn't know if he has received the news, Shen Sanwen feels the need to help him. So he immediately sent people to the White Horse Temple, this position was threatened, and he must not be indifferent.

That night, Xue Huaiyi hurried back to the palace in a hurry, rushed to the outside of the imperial study, and asked to see Emperor Wu.

As soon as they met, "Your Majesty, Huaiyi misses you." ”

At this time, Zhang Changzong, who had a soft demeanor, walked slowly with a fruit plate.

Xue Huaiyi looked at Zhang Changzong and made no secret of his dissatisfaction, "Who are you?" The study is important, can you come? ”

Zhang Changzong saluted politely, "Under Zhang Changzong, he is worried about His Majesty's hard work in handling state affairs, and he came to serve." ”

Xue Huaiyi: "Your Majesty, this person is so handsome, presumably with such a beautiful person, it won't be long before Your Majesty will forget the old man." ”

Emperor Wu chuckled, "Huaiyi doesn't have to be like this, I have known you for a long time, and I am by no means replaceable by others." ”

Zhang Changzong understood and made a forced smile, "Zhang Changzong disturbed His Majesty and Lord Xue to catch up, so he will retire." ”

Emperor Wu nodded, and Zhang Changzong immediately withdrew.

When he entered the palace, he encountered obstacles, but Emperor Wu didn't trust him, and now it is best to have a good relationship with Xue Huaiyi and gain a firm foothold, otherwise he will be harmed by Xue Huaiyi that day, and I am afraid that no one will avenge him.

Xue Huaiyi talked to Emperor Wu for a long time, telling about what he saw and heard in Luoyang, the life of the monks in the White Horse Temple, and his dissatisfaction with the Taoist priests.

Emperor Wu couldn't cry or laugh, Xue Huaiyi was still the original Xue Huaiyi, and he never stopped messing around. Over the years, many people have changed, but there is still such a person who can be reassuring.

Xue Huaiyi saw that Zhang Changzong never came in again, and took the initiative to mention the matter, "That little white face, at a young age, has a bad stomach, Your Majesty can't trust him too much." Now that His Majesty has only Huaiyi by his side, there is only one caring person, and the minister can't look at that little white face and slander beside His Majesty. ”

Emperor Wu was amused by him, "Now I am surrounded by someone besides you who arranges those virtuous ministers, who else is there to slander." ”

Xue Huaiyi was speechless at the moment, but he didn't give up, "Your Majesty, those people are like flies all day long, where are the virtuous ministers." ”

Emperor Wu also ignored him, and political affairs were never discussed with him.

Not long after, Xue Huaiyi quit and withdrew.

After walking a few steps, seeing Zhang Changzong, who was standing tall, Xue Huaiyi was angry.

Xue Huaiyi: "Little white face, your heart is not small, you have come to Your Majesty's side, the gold mountain of the princess is not enough for you to squander?" "I have been in Luoyang for a long time, and he has also heard about the affairs of the princess, the princess of the daughter handed over all the affairs of the house to him to take care of, Zhang Changzong spent extravagantly, but he still looked at the mountain and came to His Majesty's side, it can be seen that this person is not a good thing.

Zhang Changzong pretended to be serious, "I have heard the name of Master Xue a long time ago, so I have been waiting here for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see him today." ”

Xue Huaiyi looked disdainful, "Come on, you don't have to act, what virtues do you have, what do you want to do, I know it clearly." Pay attention to hit Your Majesty's head, you are still the first. Let me tell you, there is one day for me, this Luoyang, this palace, there will be no day when you come out. I advise you, where to fight and where to go back. ”

Zhang Changzong also stopped performing, "Lord Xue and His Majesty are old friends, and they are kind to Your Majesty, Zhang is just a mixed meal, and he has no intention of competing for favor, no matter whether Zhang can get His Majesty's blue eyes or not, he will definitely not offend Lord Xue." ”

Xue Huaiyi: "One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and if you stand here, you're offending me." ”

Zhang Changzong had to retire, this Xue Huaiyi is not stupid. However, he was not worried, although Emperor Wu said to his face that he was inferior to Xue Huaiyi, he was willing to keep him, so he also reassured Xue Huaiyi not to touch him. In the future, they will only rely on their abilities to win the trust and smile of the king.

Xue Huaiyi didn't take him seriously, hum, a plaything.

After the princess returned home, she was very dissatisfied with the princess, "Xue Huaiyi is a monk, and he is famous for entering the palace to pray for blessings, what does this Zhang Changzong mean, and he is dedicated to the male favorite of the mother emperor?" ”

Shen Sanwen was secretly happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he caressed her, "Your Majesty didn't say it, it's just a plaything." Now there is no need to worry, but after staying by His Majesty's side for a long time, it is difficult for anyone not to be moved by the power, and it is better to let him have a sense of proportion. Just to interfere in His Majesty's private affairs, His Majesty will definitely not like it, Zhang Changzong entered this palace, and it was difficult to move. ”

Princess: "Leave this matter to Shangguan Wan'er." ”

Shen San asked, "It's okay." ”

Shangguan Wan'er was doing a poetry meeting today, and missed the wonderful scene of Princess Qianjin entering the palace to give a gift. Emperor Wu loves poetry and calligraphy, and is very fond of Shangguan Wan'er's gorgeous poems, Shangguan Wan'er also likes it, holds a poetry meeting, and chooses Emperor Wu's favorite poems to offer.

As soon as the poetry meeting ended, someone came to report, and Princess Taiping asked to see her.

Shangguan Wan'er was busy inviting people in.

Princess Taiping made a long story short, "Princess Qianjin offered a person named Zhang Changzong, this person is not right, and I hope Wan'er can remind one or two." ”

Shangguan Wan'er is so smart, she naturally understands, "Wan'er will definitely do her best." ”

Shen Sanwen added: "Miss Shangguan must be careful, this person is a person with no measure, just remind him a little in front of His Majesty, if he doesn't have a mind to live by, if it is not easy to deal with, I and the princess can admonish Your Majesty again." ”

Shangguan Wan'er: "Thank you, donkey." ”

It is really not appropriate to say more, the princess and Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly said goodbye.

Zhang Changzong entered the palace and received the full help of Princess Qianjin, plus Emperor Wu's reward to Zhang Changzong, he also had a lot of money in the palace. Money can accomplish many things, many years of wandering among the powerful, Zhang Changzong is well versed in the use of wealth, making friends, winning a good popularity, and also understands the importance of this matter.

The first person he wanted to make friends with was Shangguan Wan'er, who had the most sacred heart in the palace.
