There were more than a dozen different single pages on Li Shimin's desk in the Zichen Palace. He was rubbing his head and had a headache. Zhang San, a bastard, had suddenly disrupted Chang'an and seven or eight surrounding counties.
But that's fine. At this time, Zheng Xuan, the old fox, is probably going to be furious.
"Go and call me that boy Zhang San! Also call Wei Zheng."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he picked up the flyer printed with "Happy celebration! The Zheng family in Xingyang has decided to donate 30,000 yuan to rebuild Zhuque Street in three days" and remained silent.
…
"You bastards, what do you do for food? I haven't found out who distributed these leaflets yet. They are all trash!" Zheng Xuan roared at the servants.
"Zheng Qing, you immediately submit a letter to impeach Zhang San. You can think of the content yourself. In short, I won't be able to live in peace even if I want him." Zheng Xuan pointed at Zheng Qing and said.
"Master, Wei Zheng is back, I..."
Before Zheng Qing finished speaking, Zheng Xuan slammed the tea cup on the ground and shouted: "What are you afraid of? If you don't want to do it, get down from this position."
Zheng Qing was so frightened that cold sweat immediately dripped from his forehead, and he quickly said: "I'm going to write a memorial right now."
"You, quickly go to Cui's house to find Cui Dian and ask him to come over to discuss matters." Zheng Xuan pointed at a steward of Zheng's house and said.
"You all get out and look for clues. This matter must have nothing to do with Zhang San. There is no one in Chang'an except him who can print so many leaflets."
"Damn it, who started this rumor? Check it, check it for me. If you don't find them out, I will bury you alive." Cui Xian placed the card with the words "Breaking news! Cui Xian had an affair with a sow."
"The single page was torn to pieces.
Cui Dian's face was even more gloomy. Although anyone with a discerning eye knew that this matter must be related to Zhang San, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any trace related to Zhang San.
"Sir, someone from the Zheng family asked you to discuss something." A servant from the Cui family whispered.
"Okay, if you continue to investigate for me, you must get to the bottom of it. At the same time, keep an eye on Zhangjiacun, especially Zhang San. If you have any news, tell me immediately." Cui Dian ordered.
…
"What did the emperor call me for again?" Zhang San asked Sun Xi.
"Sir, don't you know this yet? The whole of Chang'an is in chaos now, and all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere." Sun Xi said with a bitter smile.
"Oh, there is also this matter. We are in a remote and remote area, so the news is relatively limited, but why should I go to this matter, to watch the fun?" Zhang San said pretending to be stupid.
"My lord is joking. Our family doesn't know about this. You'd better follow me to see the emperor first." Sun Xi thought to himself, if you hadn't done this, I would have taken your surname.
However, Sun Xi admired Zhang San very much, and he actually plunged the whole of Chang'an into a storm of public opinion overnight. Compared with the rumors about Zhangjiacun some time ago, that time was simply trivial and not worth mentioning.
mentioned.
Who cares about the trivial things in Zhangjiacun now? So many hot topics suddenly emerged today, which instantly aroused everyone's gossip mentality. Especially the few pieces of news about the Zheng family and the Cui family, which became more and more sinister.
It is estimated that if Zheng Shide takes to the streets now, the saliva of the people of Chang'an will drown him.
Zhang San was sitting on the carriage and was very happy when he heard everyone talking outside. "Zheng Shide, you are famous, you can't rely on me!" Zhang San laughed in his heart.
When Zhang San came to the Zichen Hall, he saw Li Shimin looking at him with an angry face, and standing beside him was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and wearing a purple official uniform, looking at him with great interest.
Zhang San felt a little nervous, but he still pretended to be calm and saluted Li Shimin to greet him.
"Humph! Get up and look at the good things you have done!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"Um, Your Majesty, I just came home yesterday and have been in the military camp for the past few days. What good things have I done?" Zhang San continued to pretend to be stupid.
"Don't tell me that the rumors circulating in Chang'an are not your fault."
"Wei Chen really doesn't know about this. Why, are those rumors true? Is the Zheng family really going to donate money to rebuild Zhuque Street?" Zhang San pointed out this sentence carefully and asked carefully.
"Oh, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked angrily when he saw Zhang San pretending to be stupid.
"Then how do I know? I guess the Zheng family, as one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, a wealthy family, should be trustworthy, right?"
When Li Shimin heard Zhang San mention this, he suddenly became angry. It seemed that this guy said this on purpose.
Renovating Zhuque Street is like Shen Wansan helping Zhu Yuanzhang build the Great Wall. Don’t you want to live?
"Mr. Zhang County, I'm Wei Zheng, I saw your disaster relief plan, you are very good!" Wei Zheng suddenly interrupted.
"Go ahead, this guy is Wei Zheng, Li Shimin's mirror!" Zhang San howled in his heart.
"Zhang San from Wannian County met Duke Zheng, and Duke Zheng was very complimentary." Zhang San said politely.
"Wei Qing, you have nothing to do here. You should go back first!" Li Shimin said to Wei Zheng.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng saluted Li Shimin and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he looked back at Zhang San meaningfully.
"What's going on, Wei Zheng isn't going to punish me, is he? Didn't he praise me just now? The officialdom is too complicated, it's better to find a way to return to Zhangjiacun quickly." Zhang San shouted in his heart.
"Why are you so stunned? What did you say when I asked you just now?" Li Shimin asked angrily when he saw that Zhang San was distracted in front of him again.
"Ah, that Emperor, what did you ask me just now?" Zhang San asked cautiously.
"Did you spread the rumors in Beijing?" Li Shimin shouted.
"Definitely not, I don't like gossip." Zhang San quickly denied.
"What gossip are you talking about? I don't care if you like Taoism or not, if you like gossip or not, if you dare to answer me randomly, believe it or not, I will never let you speak."
Seeing Li Shimin's eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, Zhang San also knew that he had just made a mistake and this gossip was not the other gossip.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know about this!" Zhang San cried bitterly.
"Hmph, you'd better be so tough-talking all the time, otherwise, hey..." Li Shimin sneered and didn't finish his sentence, leaving Zhang San to make up his own mind.
Zhang San complained in his heart: You can have fun when this happens. Just what you said just now is enough for you to talk to the Zheng family.
"Your Majesty, I know nothing and have never done anything. I just came back yesterday. How could I be so capable and lead such a big public opinion in one day?" Zhang San said again.
"When you come to the morning court tomorrow, a large group of people will probably jump out to impeach you, so..." Li Shimin once again shut up at a critical moment, making Zhang San look down upon him and say that he could die!
"I'm going to the morning court, can you not go?" Zhang San asked with a bitter face.
"You don't have to come."
Zhang San was about to kowtow to Li Shimin when he heard it, but Li Shimin immediately added: "Choose a coffin to lie in!"
"Uncle Li Shimin, I've done you such a big favor, and you don't thank me, but you still want to trick me." Zhang San roared with grief and anger in his heart.
"I will definitely come, I will definitely come. No one can stop me from going to the morning court." Zhang San replied righteously.
"Okay, go back. I don't want to see something like this happen a second time." Li Shimin waved his hand and sent Zhang San back.
When Zhang San walked out of the Zichen Palace, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "This time you should all be embarrassed!"
Li Shimin once again took out the flyer for the Zheng family to renovate Zhuque Street, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
