Chapter 28 Farewell (1)

"The house of Shangdu Guardian is so lively. I waited until dark until it was dark, and finally waited for a chance to come in and see you!" As soon as my body passed through the side door of Zhangjiazhuang, the former general of the gatekeeper Gao Yanfu joked with a smile.

"Look at what you said. If you had known that you were old and old, I would definitely not see anyone. Come out to greet you first!" From morning to evening, Zhang Qian had been so tired that he was almost disbanded. However, he still forced himself to stretch out a hand and supported Gao Yanfu's arm. "Be careful, be careful, this is not as good as the front door. There are a lot of moss on the stone board, which is easy to slip!"

"Stop hypocritical!" Gao Yanfu immediately pushed his hand away and strode forward, "Precaution yourself, I need someone to help you before I walk. Although I am old, I am not showing off my strength, but if I really want to compete, I can still give you an arm!"

"That's right, the Tang Dynasty has also found a few skilled people who are better than you. I'm willing to give you a chance!" Zhang Qian's kindness was not rewarded, but he was not angry. He nodded beside Gao Yanfu with a smile.

The old eunuch Gao Yanfu is one of the few people around Li Xian who make him have a favor. Although this old man is always in front of him and likes to knock on his robbery from time to time, Zhang Qian never noticed that Gao Yanfu took the initiative to harm others, and he did not believe that this old man would "bite" his big mouth for no reason.

"I'm willing to pay a chance, this is not possible!" Gao Yanfu was very excited today. He suddenly stopped and his hands were crossed, making a swaying shape. "It's a legend that you have Xiang Yu and Lu Bu's courage. He was riding a saucy purple horse under his crotch, holding a Fangtian iron halberd in his hand, Yang Chengliang on the left and Zhang Si'an on the right. He went around in the 100,000 army, as if he had entered a no-man. He fought all the way to Mo Chuo, and hundreds of Turkic generals along the way, but they were not your enemy in one move!"

"This is all about what?!" Zhang Qian was so amazed and laughed. He quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy, "You are always an expert, so don't follow them to humble me. Even the younger generation learned how to ride horses on Anxi Road. Not to mention the 100,000 troops, they really rode their horses to rush forward. If they didn't fall off their horses halfway, they would have burned the incense!"

"So, is it a rumor that you have the courage to be inappropriate?" Even though he knew that Zhang Qian was saying all the truth, Gao Yanfu tilted his head and insisted on listening to him refuting the rumors in person before he believed it.

"It must be a rumor!" Zhang Qian nodded without hesitation, "It was Zhang Si'an, Lu Dechuan, Lu Guangsha and others who killed Mo Chuan. I wrote it clearly in my memorial to the court."

"Well, that's good, that's good!" Gao Yanfu breathed a long sigh and suddenly smiled with relief. "It's good that you know how capable you are, which means you are not dizzy yet. You think you are both civil and military, and you can do anything!"

In an instant, he understood Gao Yanfu's good intentions of pretending to be crazy and stupid since entering the door. Zhang Qian stood up gratefully and bowed, "I know, but I still thank you for your old man Kent to come and remind you."

"You just don't mind me being too careless. There is no need to salute me solemnly!" Gao Yanfu sideways and then returns the kindness of his peers. "In theory, I should thank you first. Thank you for sacrificing your life to protect me these days, so that the late emperor can leave a few days of peace before the spirit."

"Well, that's true!" Gao Yanfu nodded slightly, stepped onto the steps of Zhangjiazhuang's main hall, and seemed to be familiar with every grass and tree around him. "Alas. After all, you have risen too fast, lack the experience of intrigue with others, and lack his own allies and teams in the officialdom. It is more than enough to be a general manager in the local area, but it is a lot less time to be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"I never dreamed of being able to do today, and I dare not be greedy for the future!" Zhang Qian smiled and chased after him for a few steps, and personally pushed open the door of the main hall for Gao Yanfu. "You are here, please, I just asked someone to cook tea again, and it will be ready soon."

"I haven't been here for a while. Last time I came to your house for tea, the last emperor enthroned you to be the young supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor!" Gao Yanfu was not polite, and strode to the high-backed Taishi chair in the center of the main hall and sat down heavily. "Comfortable, although the decorations here are not very luxurious, everything is very practical. Every time I come in, I feel relaxed all over my body."

"If you always like this kind of chair, I will send you a carriage to the palace later." Zhang Qian smiled and looked for another chair next to him, whispering a promise. "There are other furnishings in this room. No matter which one you like, you can tell me. If you want a new one, I will ask someone to help you with it. If you don't want to wait, just use the younger one first."

"Really?" Gao Yanfu immediately looked happy and asked with a smile, "I have never been polite to others."

"Really!" Zhang Qian was grateful to Gao Yanfu for his protection and nodded without hesitation, "No matter which one or even everything in the house, you can always pack it and move it away."

"Oh, why didn't you agree to me earlier? I like the furnishings here for a long time!" Gao Yanfu jumped off his chair and looked around happily, as if he wanted to empty the whole house. However, after looking back repeatedly, he shook his head again, "Forget it, I'm not lucky. I asked the Queen Mother to have an errand envoy for the mountain tomb. After the coffin of the old emperor entered the underground palace, I'll guard the tomb for him. Those who eat vegetarian food and chant scriptures should not be too luxurious."

"Are you going to be a mountain tomb envoy?" Zhang Qian was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then he felt enlightened.

As the saying goes, the emperor is the emperor and the minister. Gao Yanfu was respected during the lifetime of Emperor Zhongzong. After Emperor Zhongzong died, Empress Dowager Wei Wushuang dared to use him again.

After handing over the position of General of the Governor and the command of the Baiqisi, Gao Yanfu's influence could not be eliminated overnight. To be on the safe side, the Empress Dowager would either put him in a position where he could see it but would not get in the way of his own affairs, or simply make excuses to give him some pleasure.

Therefore, Gao Yanfu took the initiative to volunteer to serve as the mountain tomb envoy, which was the smartest choice. He not only repayed Emperor Zhongzong's kindness to him during his lifetime, but also avoided suspicion. The Empress Dowager and various forces in the future would not affect the tomb of Emperor Zhongzong. He, as the mountain tomb, hid in the cemetery, so of course he could rest assured.

"Yes, I came to meet Yongzhao today, one is to see Yongzhao off, and the other is to say goodbye to Yongzhao. We, the two of us, want to meet again after these few days, is not that easy!" We found that Zhang Qian had only asked a question, and immediately closed our mouths. Gao Yanfu knew that he had understood his choice, smiled with relief and added in a low voice.

When Zhang Qian heard this, he felt very sighing. After thinking about it, he whispered: "The furnishings in the imperial tombs cannot be too luxurious. However, I happened to buy a small farmyard near the imperial tombs recently. If you don't dislike me, I will give it to you and make a place to rest. The furnishings inside are exactly the same as here!"

"Did you buy a yard near the imperial tomb?" Gao Yanfu was surprised when he heard this and frowned, asking, "When did you buy it? You are so neat! You have only been back to Chang'an for a few days, but you actually..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that Zhang Qian was going to send someone to buy a yard for him at any cost. Suddenly, his heart felt warm again. He had red eyes and shook his head gently, "Yes, I am no longer the general of the prison gate that year, and I can't afford to spend so much money on you." Baolai

From the most trusted general of the sect inscription beside Emperor Shenlong, he became a tomb guardian. This status gap is not ordinary. Some officials who used to kneel down and shout "Azu" when they saw him, but now they don't even want to give him a smile when they see him. Only on Zhang Qian's side, even though they know that he is useless, they still treat him as an elder as before.

"When I was the fifth-rank chief clerk, you never disliked me for being a young official." Knowing that Gao Yanfu was uncomfortable, Zhang Qian smiled and comforted softly, "What's more, I am now a big family and have a big business, so I don't care about this little expense. If you dislike the small yard, give me some time, and see if I can find someone to buy a farmhouse to enjoy my old age!"

"I dare not, but I dare not. In that way, I will not be able to live a peaceful life!" Gao Yanfu heard this and quickly stood up straight and waved his hands repeatedly, "Okay, I will be satisfied if I can drink a bowl of hot tea at your house. Others are really unnecessary."

"I will prepare the yard as soon as possible, and ensure that you have refreshments and wine throughout the year will never stop." Zhang Qian insisted on refusing to change his mind and continued to replenish with a smile.

"Well, I will rely on my seniority for a while!" Gao Yanfu refused, sighed and thanked, "Yong Zhao, I will be ashamed of your intention. If there is still a time when I need my old bones to take action in the future, I will send someone to say hello."

"If you have good wine and meat in the future, you will definitely send someone to greet you." Zhang Qian smiled and agreed casually.

He just felt that Gao Yanfu was once good to him, so he hoped that even if he lost power in the palace, he could spend his old age in the suburbs. Therefore, he gave him a residence for the other party to live in. From the beginning to the end, he did not expect any rewards from the other party to give him.

However, Gao Yanfu was not used to resigning from his post, and he still took his benefits in vain. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly added in a whisper, "Actually, I have the third thing today. Yong Zhao, the emperor wants to see you, and hopes to say a few words to you in private before you leave."

Without waiting for Zhang Qian to answer, he quickly added, "If you don't see him, it's all up to you. I'm just responsible for passing the message for him."

"Sage?" I was used to hearing people call the Dragon Emperor Li Xian as the saint. After Li Xian passed away, I suddenly heard the "Sage" summoning him again. Zhang Qian was very uncomfortable, "You are talking about the current emperor? Today's emperor has not yet grown up, how could I see him?"
