Zhang Liang arrived at the backyard of the palace and couldn't help but blush when he saw Bai Song's big house. He originally wanted to have some private words with his daughter in the room, but in the end he could only wait for his daughter to come out outside the courtyard and simply
Say a few words.
Yu Han's child was the first, and seeing slight changes in his body, Zhang Liang felt very happy when he saw his daughter, fearing that her daughter would be blown by the wind, so he asked her to stand under the eaves with the wind and talk.
"Yu Han, are you still used to life in the palace? Have you ever been bullied? After all, dad is also the minister of the Ministry of Industry. If you are bullied, dad can also put some pressure on that kid in the court to ensure the stability of you mother and son.
"
"Dad, what are you talking about? It's great that my daughter is in the palace, and my sisters are very good to me."
"That's good. This is the palace after all, and it's not easy for our father and daughter to see each other once. Being able to see you happy makes me feel at ease as a father."
"Um."
"Daughter, you go into the house first. Dad will leave first when he sees you."
"In such a hurry? Don't you want to stay for dinner?"
"No, no, no, there are so many people in the palace, how can it be appropriate for dad to stay for dinner? Hurry back to the house, don't get cold."
Zhang Yuhan was a little reluctant, but had no choice but to nod and was helped back to the room by the maid.
Bai Song didn't know where he had gone at this time, and Zhang Liang didn't want to say hello anymore, so he turned and left.
But just after walking a short distance, I suddenly heard a strange voice coming from behind: "Master Zhang."
Zhang Liang looked back and found a middle-aged man in a wheelchair looking at him with a faint smile.
"Who are you?"
"Master Zhang, come with me, someone wants to see you."
"who?"
"Don't worry, this is Beiding Prince's Mansion, no one will pose any threat to Bai Song's father-in-law."
Zhang Liang looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor where he was, but the lame man was a little weird, giving people a cold feeling.
However, Zhang Liang thought about it and couldn't imagine that there would be any danger in this place, so he followed the lame man slowly toward the palace's villa.
It was getting late at this time, and Zhang Liang didn't know where he had gone. He just saw a tower with lights on.
Arriving inside the tower, the lame man stopped, sat on his wheelchair and pointed inside the tower.
Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment and then walked in.
Inside the tower, a sickly young woman was lying on her side on a couch, wrapped in a quilt that was tight and airtight.
"Master Zhang."
"Who are you?"
"I am Princess Mingzhu."
"Mingzhu... Princess?"
Zhang Liang was shocked. He knew the princess. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I'm here to see the princess. I wonder what the princess summoned her late at night."
"Originally, I was supposed to visit Mr. Zhang in person. Your Excellency also saw it. Unfortunately, the little girl was injured and cannot leave the house for a while, so I asked Mr. Zhang to move here."
Zhang Liang smiled: "If you have anything to do with the princess, just ask me. Even if it is not for Master Bai's sake, even if it is for the sisterly relationship between the princess and my daughter Yuhan, I will try my best to cooperate."
.”
"Master Zhang, based on your current relationship with my husband, are the two families already sharing weal and woe, and advancing and retreating in unison?"
The topic changed a bit suddenly. Zhang Liang paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's natural."
"What do you think, Lord Zhang, will be like for the future of Beiding Palace?"
Zhang Liang was very surprised. Why did a princess ask this?
Zhang Liang was about to say a few words, but the princess interrupted him directly: "Master Zhang should know that my husband has accepted the compilation of Tang History, right?"
Zhang Liang nodded.
"Does Mr. Zhang know how my husband will handle this matter?"
"This... I don't quite understand, I believe Master Bai will make the right choice."
"My husband has already confessed this issue to everyone in the palace. He will follow the Qin family's footsteps and continue to defend the truth of the story. Can Mr. Zhang think of it?"
"..."
This time, Zhang Liang fell silent.
Zhang Liang didn't believe the whole answer. Based on his understanding of Bai Song, he didn't think Bai Song would be such a choice.
Princess Mingzhu was very calm and pointed to the stool in the tower: "If Mr. Zhang is not in a hurry, you can sit down and listen to my story. As long as you know why the little girl was injured, you should know whether it is true."
Zhang Liang rubbed his hands, looked back at the night outside, and suddenly felt a bit cold.
After a moment of pause, Zhang Liang finally stepped forward and sat down, patiently listening to the princess' story about her injury.
A quarter of an hour later, Princess Mingzhu's story had been told. The cripple outside came to the attic in a wheelchair. With a wave of his hand, his true energy caused all the tower doors to close, blocking out the cold wind.
Zhang Liang couldn't feel the warmth and felt goosebumps all over his body.
He didn't know why the princess wanted to tell him these private things, but if this matter was true, then Bai Song had obviously committed a huge crime. Once the incident happened, the whole family would be executed, and the nine clans would be implicated. He, the Ministry of Works,
The Minister of Finance may also be in danger of losing his life.
There is nothing to question about Bai Song's choice.
"Master Zhang, if you still have any doubts, you can go to Zhang Yuhan for verification."
"Princess Princess, why are you telling me this?"
"I want adults to understand my situation, and I also hope that adults can make some changes in the future."
"Change? What change?"
"The one-year period is coming in a blink of an eye. Perhaps in less than a year, a conflict will inevitably break out between the Beiding Palace and the Royal Palace. When the conflict comes, the current power of the Palace will be like a rootless duckweed, swept away by the wind.
It will disperse with a gentle blow, and Mr. Zhang will also be implicated. My husband is a benevolent and righteous person. He is very capable, but not sharp. In such a state, it will be difficult for him to survive in future crises.
Save everyone in .
Behind him, some people are needed to do things that the husband is not willing to do in order to cope with the changes a year later. Mr. Zhang is the chief examiner this year and can contact the newcomers in the court at the first time. This brand-new court
Strength plays a vital role in the future. Mr. Zhang, you should know that."
Zhang Liang frowned and nodded: "Princess, don't worry, I have my own discretion in this matter. I have selected a few reliable people among the many candidates. They will definitely be able to help Lord Bai in the future."
"Not enough."
"Why is there not enough? Is it because there are not enough people?"
"No, it's because they are not loyal enough." Princess Mingzhu said slowly, "If we encounter a normal situation, I believe everyone is loyal to the palace, but what if there is a conflict between the palace and the court? Are those people loyal to the court?
Or are you loyal to the palace? What the Beiding palace needs is not loyalty, but a dead soldier. Why would the palace draw a bayonet against anyone in the world, even someone who is high up above them?"
Zhang Liang's legs went weak and he almost fell.
At such a young age, he can actually say such treasonous words calmly?
Seeing Zhang Liang's expression, Princess Mingzhu smiled: "Look, even Mr. Zhang will become hesitant, let alone others? Mr. Zhang, will you be absolutely loyal to the palace?"
"I... of course!"
"Sir, I think you don't have that determination at all now, so today I want to help you make this determination."
Zhang Liang felt something was wrong and instinctively pushed back two steps.
Suddenly, a hand from behind gently took off his hand, and the lame man pushed a wheelchair in front of Zhang Liang. He held a pill in his hand and said softly: "Master Zhang, take it, and the princess will believe in your loyalty."
