Jinan Mansion, in front of Zhang Chucheng's mansion.

Zhang Yun and his entourage, according to the guidance of the soldiers guarding the city, came to Zhang Chucheng's mansion, and the two big lions at the door, plus the guards at the door, fully indicated the identity of the family.

"Seemingly, that's it."

After Zhang Yun dismounted, he led people to the main gate, and said with a smile: "If you are troublesome, you will report that Zhang Yun has something important and wants to see your master." ”

When the guard saw the dress of Zhang Yun and the others, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to report to Zhang Chucheng.

In Zhang Chucheng's hall, a person was enjoying the young maid's beating back and pinching her legs.

I saw that his eyes were closed, and he was still humming a little song in his mouth, humming and shaking his fingers and head at the same time, so unhappy.

"Sir, sir. Someone out there says they want to see you? ”

Zhang Chucheng's Yaxing was interrupted in an instant, looked at the reckless family, and scolded angrily: "How do I usually teach you? Everything is frizzy. ”

"Didn't I say, I won't see anyone today, let him go back."

Then, he closed his eyes again and began to hum.

Zhang Chucheng's recent situation is not very good, because he and Shen Li have joined forces, which has already offended the anger of Shandong officials, and coupled with Lu Shude's agitation on the side, he has to temporarily avoid the edge.

After hearing this, the family also said with a look of embarrassment: "Master, I see that those people are wearing the clothes of Jinyiwei, which is not easy to mess with." ”

"Oh yes, the man in the lead said his name was Zhang Yun, and said that you would definitely see him back."

When Zhang Chucheng heard this, he opened his closed eyes and shouted, "Are you sure it's Zhang Yun?" ”

"Little sure, it's a very young son."

Zhang Chucheng got up from the chair, kept walking back and forth, waving novels that had nowhere to be placed, and shouted: "Okay, good, it's finally here, you go and invite them in." ”

"Oh, no, I'm going to meet it myself. Wait for me to change your clothes. ”

Zhang Yun saw that the family had gone in, and it had been a while, so he couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "Isn't he at home today?" No, even if you're not at home, you should come out and let me know. ”

Just when Zhang Yun was puzzled.

"Hahaha......"

"Virtuous nephew, you're finally here, I've been looking forward to you for a long time." Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

Then, I saw an old man in a red official robe, walking out, about fifty years old, but still in good spirits, and the brocade rooster in front of his official robe was to declare his identity as a second-class member.

Zhang Yun secretly said in his heart: "It seems that this person is Zhang Chucheng, the core of Zhang Juzheng's subordinates, and the political envoy of Shandong." ”

Zhang Yun hurriedly responded with a smile: "Your Excellency Zhang Yun has seen the political envoy. ”

After Zhang Chucheng heard this, he grabbed Zhang Yun's hand and pretended to be angry and said: "I have been friends with your uncle for many years, and his nephew is my nephew, what do you say, my uncle will be angry." ”

Zhang Yun had to change his words and said: "That little nephew, I'm going to trouble my uncle, take care of it." ”

Zhang Chucheng heard Zhang Yun's words, and his face was full of smiles, and then he pulled Zhang Yun to the house.

After entering the living room, Zhang Chucheng clapped his hands, and then there were young maids, constantly shuttling and bringing wine and food.

Zhang Yun looked at the wine and food in front of him, and thought that Zhao Hu and Wang Zhong were still outside, so he arched his hand to Zhang Chucheng and said, "Uncle, the little nephew's brother is still outside, why don't you invite you in and eat together?" ”

Zhang Chucheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, nephew, I have other arrangements for them, I have already asked people to arrange a banquet for them in the guest room, you can rest assured." ”

"Today, let's talk about you and my uncle and nephew."

Zhang Yun knew what Zhang Chucheng wanted to know, raised a glass of wine and said respectfully: "Then the little nephew will give you a glass first." ”

"My uncle's health has improved now, and he will be able to return to the court in a few days, so my uncle doesn't have to worry."

After Zhang Chucheng heard this, he took a reassuring pill, since Zhang Juzheng went into the wilderness, he, the core figure of Zhang Juzheng's faction, has become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the second assistant Zhang Siwei.

Don't look at the surface scenery, in fact, it is like walking on thin ice, and only you know the pain in your heart.

When Zhang Chucheng heard Zhang Yun say that Zhang Juzheng's health was improving, he raised his wine glass and smiled at Zhang Yun: "Come, this cup, let's toast Master Yuanfu with a glass." ”

After a cup, Zhang Yun asked with some curiosity: "Uncle, you seem to have something on your mind lately." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chucheng shook his head, sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Alas, wasn't he forced by that Lu Shude, he relied on the support of the second assistant Zhang Siwei, and he was the governor, and now he is united with the officials of Shandong to squeeze out me, Lord Yuanfu is not in the court, my situation is not good." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yun hurriedly asked, "Then why don't you join forces with Lord Shen Li?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chucheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "It was because I joined forces with him that I was caught by Lu Shude, and the reason why he united with the officials in Shandong to squeeze me out was that I ate inside and outside, and Lord Shen has now been hollowed out." ”

After Zhang Yun heard this, he also suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that Jinan still has to have it, and only then can I do it." ”

Thinking of his own people, the official rank is enough, Zhang Yun thought of Yang Zhen and Qi Zuoguo, Zhang Yun didn't know where to let them go, didn't he come now?

Zhang Yun raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, if I can win over the Jinan prefect, do you think the crisis can be lifted?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chucheng pondered for a while, and said with a face full of embarrassment: "The Jinan prefect is Lu Shude's ironcore, and we are afraid that we will not be able to win him over." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yun waved his hand, chuckled, and said slowly: "Since we can't win him over, let's replace him." ”

"You have also seen that my current power cannot be replaced by the prefect of Jinan at all."

"I'm going to report directly to the emperor, just say that the prefect of Jinan is derelict in his duties, plus Lord Shen Li, I'm afraid that I won't be able to bring down his small prefect of Jinan?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chucheng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "Yes, Lord Shen has the power to supervise, plus you can speak in front of the emperor, this matter will definitely be done." ”

Then, the two pulled up their wine glasses again and clinked glasses to celebrate the defeat of one of Lu Shude's dogs.

In the guest room, Zhao Hu and his party were immersed in cooking, these people had eaten all the dry food a few days ago, and the taste in their mouths had long been gone, and now they have delicious food, if they don't eat a little more, they are sorry for themselves.

Zhao Hu asked Han Cheng while eating, "How do you know that the owner of this house is the uncle of the adult?" ”

"Does that need to be said? Master Zhang Chucheng Zhang, that is the general under the old Zhang Ge, we, as adults, don't even know this? ”

After Han Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Hu and said secretly in his heart: "I really don't know, what do adults like about this stupid big man."

"This time I went back to this fool and I didn't have to run away, do I have to call him Shangguan in the future?"

When Han Cheng thought of this, it was like eating a fly.

After he was full of wine and food, Zhang Yun said goodbye to Zhang Chucheng, and Zhang Chucheng tried his best to keep it, and he had to let Zhang Yun live here.

Zhang Yun waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I still have to go and talk to Lord Shen now, the sooner this matter is, the better." ”

After Zhang Chucheng heard this, he felt that he was reasonable, and after a few words of advice to him, he let Zhang Yun leave.

Jinan Mansion, Shen Li's residence.

After Zhang Yun entered the city today, he got the news.

Unexpectedly, he didn't come to him for the first time, but went to find Zhang Chucheng, which made Shen Li a little hurt.

Xu Chengye was on the side, looking at this somewhat cute little old man, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang is also an old friend of Zhang Ge, Zhang Yun is a nephew, there is nothing wrong with going to see the elders." ”

After hearing this, Shen Li said lightly: "Who he came to see first, it was his choice, why did you bother to listen to me?" ”

Xu Chengye had to snicker on the side, then looked at Zhang Chucheng's mansion and muttered, "I hope your arrival can revitalize this game of chess." ”
