Guanglu Temple is located to the north of Dong'anli Gate, next to the medical reading center. Before the Northern Qi Dynasty, this yamen was in charge of palace guards and attendants, but since the Tang Dynasty, this place has been responsible for palace meals. According to the Ming Dynasty system,
All fruits, vegetables, meat, etc. that enter the palace must first pass through this level before reaching the Shangshan Supervisor and other yamen that specialize in preparing royal meals. Therefore, just behind Guanglu Temple, there is the Shangshan Supervisor and the Nanshanfang.
Hebei Shanfang, the three major internal government offices. Nowadays, there are no big festivals where ministers are given banquets. Guanglu Temple should have been relatively quiet, but since the emperor detained Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling here, the minister of Guanglu Temple had his head turned.
It got bigger.
Wait a minute? That's the serious brother of the emperor's mother-in-law and the queen mother. If he goes out and puts on his little shoes, it won't be comfortable. He can be treated as an honored guest, not to mention that the emperor is locking him up here. He has two rankings.
Jinshi, a high-ranking official of the third rank, was really embarrassed to serve this person, and he was not so interested. So, he struggled until the end, and used a compromise method. In addition to wine, he would give him whatever he wanted for other meals, including books.
They followed suit, but no one was allowed to go in and talk to Zhang Heling outside of three meals.
As a result, Zhang Heling was stifled. He was used to having sex outside the palace. He used to be unable to escape even in the morning court. Now he was locked up in such a place. How could he bear it? But after several troubles, he couldn't bear it.
When people ignored him, he couldn't help but feel frustrated. Once when he was so angry, he even contemplated committing suicide. However, he broke the bowl and tried to scratch his wrists and neck with the sharp pieces of porcelain, but he felt the sharpness.
He stopped immediately after feeling a stinging sensation, and gave up the idea of threatening death. He could only brace himself to endure the day.
At noon that day, he was boredly flipping through the popular storybook that he had received during the last meal delivery. He was frowning at the vulgar stories about talented men and beauties, when he heard a squeaking sound behind him.
It was supposed to be dinner time, and he was too lazy to look back. He was still flipping through sheets of paper listlessly. After a long time, he realized that something was wrong behind him. There was no sound of the usual meal delivery person putting down the dishes, and he hurriedly turned around.
Headed.
Although there were oil lamps in the room, the areas in front of him were bright, and behind the person was the closed door. The light was extremely dark. He actually squinted his eyes for a long time before he recognized the person.
The scroll fell immediately. He jumped up almost subconsciously and patted the wrinkled skirt. Seeing that smoothing it out was in vain, he tried to calm himself down.
"Uncle Pingbei, what are you doing today..."
"It has been hard for you these days, Lord Marquis. I follow the emperor's order and send you back to your home."
Zhang Heling initially thought that the Queen Mother would not ignore him, but after being imprisoned for so long, he was no longer so sure. At this moment, when Xu Xun said this with a smile, he finally had a feeling
Shou Deyun was relieved to see the moonlight, and when Xu Xun turned sideways and raised his hand to give way, he showed a bit of his usual arrogance in front of others, and walked out the door with his head held high. However, after being locked up in the small dark room, Tai
After a long time, he suddenly saw the sun when he went out. He felt that the sun was so dazzling that he couldn't help but sway twice. If a hand next to him hadn't reached out in time, he almost fell to the ground after staggering.
.
"Master Hou, be careful."
After being imprisoned for so long, Zhang Heling was naturally full of resentment. He just snorted and said nothing. When he left Guanglu Temple and got into a car that had obviously been prepared long ago, he saw Xu Xun also
After he got into the car, he remembered an important matter: "The emperor only asked you to take me back to the palace, but didn't ask me to go see the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother has been busy moving to Renshou Palace these days. When she is finished in a few days, she will naturally meet with the Marquis."
Hearing that Queen Mother Zhang actually started to move from Kunning Palace to Renshou Palace while she was imprisoned in Guanglu Temple, Zhang Heling felt a little bit in his heart. It was a bit unreal. He opened the curtains a little and looked at the situation outside, but he left
As he walked, he realized that something was wrong. He immediately dropped the curtain, looked at Xu Xun with surprise and anger, and said: "After exiting Dong'anmen, walk north along Huodao Half Street, cross Yinding Bridge from Gulouxia Street, and then
Not far from Li Guang Bridge is Shouning Hou Mansion, where are you taking me?”….
"Don't be nervous, Lord Marquis. Today I was ordered to pick you up from Guanglu Temple. I also have to go to Fusi Prison in Jinyiwei North Town to pick up someone from the prison. I just happened to be on the way..."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Heling suddenly became furious, "I'm so proud to kiss the Marquis of Shouning, and yet I'm going to be reduced to riding home with the prisoners in the imperial edict?"
"What if the prisoner in this prison is the one who helped you get out of trouble this time?" Seeing that Zhang Heling was stunned, Xu Xun continued to ask unhurriedly, "What if the prisoner in this prison is your son?
"
Zhang Heling felt that his brain was completely exhausted, shook his head vigorously, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "You...what do you mean?"
"Hou Shouning, this matter can be settled this time, all thanks to the young master's strong blood. He grabbed your Zheng San, who was in charge of the military supplies, from the Dongchang Yamen to the imperial court. This finally allowed you to get out of trouble. Could it be that
Now I stopped by to pick him up, aren't you happy?"
Seeing that Zhang Heling was in a daze, Xu Xun stopped there and stopped explaining. No matter what Zhang Heling said, he didn't answer anything. He waited until he walked from Dongjiangmi Lane and Jiangmi Lane to Beizhen Fusi Gate in Jinyiwei Back Street, and then he got in.
After getting out of the carriage, Zhang Heling leaned half of his body out of the carriage and was about to follow him, but when he saw Ye Guang, the commander of Jin Yiweidu, and Li Yifeng, the commander of Qianhu, coming out to greet him, he hesitated for a moment and retracted his head.
go.
Now he doesn't want to deal with factory guards at all.
Xu Xun had no intention of leaving Zhang Heling behind for too long. He only chatted with Ye Guang and Li Yifeng for a moment, and then followed the two of them directly to a cell with good conditions in Fusi, Beizhen, and took Zhang Zongshuo out.
After Zhang Heling's carriage was sent to him, he did not disturb the father and son who had "reunited after a long separation". He got on the horse and followed the carriage. He walked northward along Xuanwumen Street for more than half an hour before the carriage finally arrived.
Turn east onto Chongguosi Street, then turn north towards Deshengmen Street and then reach Zhanghuangqin Street within a stone's throw.
Someone had been waiting there for a long time at the entrance of the alley. As soon as he saw Xu Xun riding a horse and following a carriage, the man immediately ran inside, shouting: "The master and the young master are back."
Madam Shouninghou and Zhang Jingxuan, mother and daughter, who were waiting at the gate of Shouninghou Mansion, had been extremely anxious for a long time. When they suddenly heard this sound, Madam Shouninghou's body went limp, but fortunately her daughter and Qian's mother were supporting her.
In time, she regained her breath. She was helped out of the concierge. The three five-panel, animal-faced, tin-ringed and gold-lacquered doors had been fully opened according to her prior instructions. She saw the carriage stopped steadily in front of the door.
The eldest son, Zhang Zong, was the first to get out, and then she reached out and helped someone out. It was her husband Zhang Heling. She felt her eyes were sore and astringent, and she finally lowered her head to stop the soreness in her nose.
"master……"
Zhang Heling no longer acted like he did in front of Xu Xun just now. He comforted his wife dryly, and then asked Zhang Jingxuan, whose eyes were also red, to help Mrs. Shouninghou go in. He turned around and looked at the horse again.
Xu Xunshi's face was already extremely embarrassed.
He never thought that Dongchang, who he thought would be able to help, would secretly hold Zheng San captive for a long time. If his son hadn't heard Xu Xun's words and came to the door, he might have become a fool. Even if his son didn't because of this
He stayed in Jinyiwei Prison for several days, but as soon as he came out, the emperor ordered him to be one of the 100 vanguard households of Datong, and wanted to send him to Datong Town. Xu Xun also vouched for Datong Commander-in-Chief Zhuang Jian to join him.
Taking care of yourself is much more successful than hanging around in the capital.
Not only that, Zhang Zong said that what Xu Xun explained to the Empress Dowager Zhang and the emperor was taught to him exactly. It is in vain that even though he was twice as old as Xu Xun, this boy could not understand it.
through….
"Uncle Pingbei, this time... this time I really owe you a huge favor. I just got out of bad luck today. It's really disrespectful to ask you to stay. I will hold a banquet at Songhe Tower in the future to thank you."
It was extremely rare for Zhang Heling to say these words to Shouning Hou, who was accustomed to being arrogant. Zhang Zong said that he spent four or five days in Jinyiwei Prison, from the capital commander Ye Guang to the executioner
Li Yifeng from thousands of households all took good care of him and kept him informed every day. He initially thought it was because he was a relative of the emperor, but when he first came out, he saw Ye Guang, Li Yifeng and Xu Xun getting close to each other.
Since he only gave a symbolic greeting to Zhang Heling, his feelings in his heart were naturally even more different. At this moment, the words Xu Xun had previously inspired him to call Dongchang came to mind again.
Is it really satisfying to be a wealthy relative?
Xu Xun glanced at Zhang Zong, who had a delicate expression, and said that he knew that in the heart of Shouning Hou Shizi, he had already engraved the mark of his omnipotence, so he had to smile and say a few humble words to Zhang Heling. When he saw the father and son,
As they helped each other through the door, he knew that no matter what Li Rong and Wang Yue tried from now on, the Zhang family, the royal family, would never be able to conquer it again.
He turned the horse's head and saw Cao Mi riding his horse towards him, looking like he was respectfully listening to his instructions. He smiled and said, "Let's go back to the palace."
"Ah... I humble my position and take orders."
When he came, he had to pick people up from Guanglu Temple and Jinyiwei Yamen respectively. Naturally, he could only go out of Dong'an Gate and walk around the imperial city. When he went back, Xu Xun naturally went straight to Xi'an Gate. However, he turned into Xi'an at a gallop.
On Men Street, he happened to pass by a group of people coming out of Xi'an Gate. Recognizing the leading person at a glance, he couldn't help but pull the reins to stop his horse, and quickly turned around. Behind him were about
Twenty or thirty steps away, the group of people also reined in their horses and stopped. The person in front of them also turned around, and it was Wang Yue.
The four eyes looked at each other from a long distance apart, as if they could exchange infinite fire. I don't know how long it took, but Wang Yue just snorted coldly, turned around and rode away. The people behind him followed.
On the way, the group of people whizzed away gradually. At this time, Cao Mi just took two quick steps to Xu Xun's side.
"Isn't that the prince of Admiral Dongchang? Where is he going?"
Xu Xun looked at the disappearing figures of the group and said with a faint smile: "Of course they are going where they should go."
If these old people who insist on occupying their seats don't leave, how can they make room for newcomers?
