Chapter 031 The decree is here!
Chapter 031 The imperial edict is here!
Li Xiu's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were as fierce as a knife.
As Zhang Xuan expected, his main purpose was to intimidate and threaten to make money, not for anything else. But Li Xiu never expected that the servant of the Zhang family was so bold. Facing the Li family's great power, he was not afraid. He responded with sticks, swords and guns in his light words, and hit the nail on the head, and gave him a warning in turn.
"You little thief! You are so arrogant and quibbling, and you can't make a desperate attempt?!" Li Xiu was furious and stood up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Xuan in a deep voice, "You can still forgive the evils of heaven, but you can't live if you commit sins!"
Li Xiu's voice was obviously trembling with anger, but before he could finish his words, he heard a sharp and high-pitched shout from outside the hall: "The imperial edict is here! Zhang Xuan received the edict!"
Everyone in the hall changed their expressions, and Zhang Xuan was also a little surprised. Soon, why did the emperor's imperial edict suddenly come to him?
Immediately, two servants from the Zhang family led the way, and a well-dressed eunuch in brocade clothes held the imperial edict with a arrogant look and walked in with great strides.
The little eunuch's arrogant and sharp eyes swept over Zhang Jiuming and others with a look of surprise, and then looked at Li Xiu, who had a gloomy and stiff face, and finally fell on Zhang Xuan, who was clear and angrily, and said lightly, "The Lord has an order! Zhang Xuan receives the order!"
Zhang Xuan calmed down and bowed loudly, "Zhang Xuan is here."
Zhang Xuan knelt down and received the order. Needless to say, the four Zhang family members, Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Jiugao, Liu family, and Zhang Ning, also knelt down to receive the order. With the imperial edict in the head, under the emperor's supreme authority, Li Xiu, the "outsider", dared not stand rudely, so he had to grit his teeth and lower his head and kneel down hatred.
But I was shocked: The imperial edict... Could this little thief...
The eunuch nodded and unveiled the imperial edict and said loudly, "The emperor has an imperial edict. Zhang Jiuling's youngest son Zhang Xuan is a commendable literary talent. He will immediately go to the Lady Guo's mansion to have a banquet..."
After the eunuch's decree was announced, Li Xiu took a breath and suddenly looked up at Zhang Xuan, with the corners of his mouth twitching gently.
The emperor's imperial edict was just right. Not to mention that Zhang Xuan did not have any substantial "sin", even if he contradicted Li Linfu in person, no one could touch him again.
It is impossible not to say that at this time, Li Longji's imperial edict became Zhang Xuan's most favorable amulet. At the same time, it also truly confirmed and promoted his identity as a talented man. From now on, no one in Chang'an would say that Zhang Jiuling's youngest son Zhang Xuan was a playboy.
Li Xiu left in a mess.
Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao quietly exchanged a complicated look, and then Zhang Jiuming smiled slightly and slowed down his voice and said, "Xuan'er, since the emperor has summoned you, hurry up to the Lady Guo's mansion to respond to the imperial edict... Remember to be polite and know how to advance and retreat in front of the saint, be careful in words and actions, so as not to make Long Yan furious..."
Zhang Jiugao also smiled and nodded, "Well, Xuan'er, I am favored by the emperor. This is a good opportunity for you to advance. Take it seriously. You can also seek fame and fame in the spring exam next year."
Mrs. Liu smiled with relief, and said nothing.
Zhang Xuan, who was once rogue, has gradually changed some changes recently... Until today's imperial edict, Liu really believed it: his son finally turned back, and it was a great joy!
However, Zhang Ning frowned and looked at Zhang Xuan secretly, and his heart seemed to be slightly confused.
But no matter what, the Zhang family's attitude towards Zhang Xuan began to change essentially. Zhang Xuan could clearly feel this.
Although the two elders Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao were brave and had some shortcomings in their strategies, they were also "old fried dough sticks" who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, and they still had at least political wisdom. From the emperor's imperial edict and the previous Lady of Guo State's invitation to Zhang Xuan for the banquet, some clues can be determined.
Intuition, Zhang Jiuming felt that the crisis that troubled the Zhang family had been safely overcome, and Zhang Xuan was the one who played the decisive factor. At least, even if Zhang Huan was still unable to escape from the crime in the end, it would not be implicated in the entire Zhang family clan again. This feeling and speculation made Zhang Jiuming and the others secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As for how Zhang Xuan did all this, how she attracted the attention and praise of the emperor, and how she transformed into a talented man, the Zhang family couldn't figure it out even if they were anxious.
Zhang Xuan smiled and bowed to Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Jiugao and Liu, "Xuan'er keeps the teachings of the two uncles, mother and elders in mind. In this way, Xuan'er left."
Zhang Jiuming waved his hand with a smile, "Go and go--"
But Liu hurried forward and his eyes were slightly red, and he gently tidied Zhang Xuan's clothes with concern, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and said softly, "Xuan'er, don't lose your politeness in front of the saint... Remember my mother's words, my mother is waiting for you to come back in the mansion."
"Well, I understand, mom." Over the past few days, the Zhang family has not had a good face to Zhang Xuan. Only this mother, Liu, caring for her meticulously, and the kind of love and pampering from the bones. Even Zhang Xuan, a time traveler with an extremely mature mental age, could not help but feel a long-lost touch.
Zhang Xuan bowed to Liu, then turned around and left.
But after walking a few steps, Zhang Xuan suddenly stopped again, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and smiled: "Two uncles, I recently heard that Li Linfu was seriously ill and bedridden. The imperial physician who went to the palace to diagnose Li Linfu's illness came out that his illness was severe and difficult to return to the terminal illness..."
Zhang Xuan spoke very quickly and his voice was very soft. As soon as he finished speaking, he floated away.
This is of course a not very obscure hint. Zhang Xuan felt that the time was ripe, so it was necessary to hint and wake up the two elders of the Zhang family, so as not to stand in the wrong team in the upcoming storm, resulting in his efforts being wasted.
Li Linfu was seriously ill and unable to treat?
Zhang Jiuming felt excited and immediately turned around and looked at his third brother Zhang Jiugao, and also read deeply from Zhang Jiugao's flashing eyes.
The two subconsciously felt that Zhang Xuan's words were not aimless, nor were they talking nonsense. If so, the two suddenly realized and secretly said lucky, and then they understood why Zhang Xuan repeatedly stopped him and others from asking for help from Li Linfu in the previous episode.
The grudges between Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong and the struggle for power and profit were not long before, and almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew about it. However, Yang Guozhong was no match for Li Linfu at all. If it weren't for the big tree Yang Guifei, he would have been defeated by Li Linfu long ago.
But once Li Linfu dies, the political situation in the Tang Dynasty will turn sharply: Yang Guozhong will definitely be in power, and the power of the Yang family will be further improved. At that time, who dares to say that Yang Guozhong is not the second Li Linfu? Once Yang Guozhong comes to power, what else can the Zhang family that takes the initiative to surrender to Li Linfu?
Although Li Linfu is ruthless, Yang Guozhong is not a good person.
Therefore, Zhang Xuan accidentally took the route of Lady Guo by chance, which made Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao secretly exclaim and amazed. When did this slutty nephew become so scheming and extremely wise? It is really surprising!
