Zhang Xutang was lying on the bed and heard the bell.
He grew up in Kyoto, and he was used to hearing this bell. He was tired of hearing it. When the bell rang, his mind would connect with the aftertaste of the bell, which was so perfect that it was unmistakable.
He likes to be accompanied by others at night, but as long as the bell of Xiangguo Temple rings, he doesn't need anyone to accompany him. The bell can wash away all sneakiness and make him feel at ease.
However, the sound of the bell today made him very unhappy.
The aftertaste of the bells fell in his mind, but not in his ears, and then the sound of drums came over heavily.
The sound of the drum is not as overwhelming as the sound of a thousand-pound bell, but it is also deafening and powerful, resounding through the night.
He wanted to move and covered his ears, but he couldn't move. Whenever he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. His body seemed to be separated from his soul, and each was doing its own thing, not obeying orders.
The imperial doctor said that he was seriously injured and almost died. He had to survive the high fever and would need to be nursed back to health slowly.
Everyone in Kyoto thought that he was accidentally injured by bird hunters at Xiangguo Temple. Who would have thought that he had returned like a dragon, causing a storm outside.
It's just that Song Huiyue, the big bad guy, refused to be captured, making him work in vain. There is also the King of Jin, who is still making trouble in Zezhou.
Dengwengu.
Thinking of Deng Wengu, he suddenly froze, holding the corner of the quilt tightly with his hands. After a cup of tea, he suddenly came back to his senses and said loudly: "Let the boss come!"
The servant hurriedly went to invite Zhang Xuling. Zhang Xuling also heard the sound of the drum. Someone at home who went out to check told him on the way that someone was beating the Dengwen drum. The drummer had opened the door and let the person in.
Such a big movement in Zezhou was concealed, and people were arrested along the way. How did the complainant get in!
Zhang Xuling walked with the wind under his feet. He walked all the way to Zhang Xutang's house and said: "Second brother, the people of the King of Jin have come to Beijing and are beating the Dengwen drum."
"My dad stayed at the capital hall last night, and I must have heard it," Zhang Xuling's voice was filled with anxiety, "What should we do now? So many people have died in Zezhou, even if they are found, no one can escape."
Compared with the explosion at the smelter, I am more concerned about concealing the report.
With Empress Dowager Pei in front of her, listening to the government behind the curtain, I have become obsessed with the government.
Zhang Xutang had no feelings for the officials in Zezhou officialdom and said coldly: "As long as I keep Li Lin, it doesn't matter."
Zhang Xuling has no idea. Since the prime minister and his father are not here, he will listen to Zhang Xutang. However, Zhang Xutang is still thinking: "I think King Jin has a back-up plan. He not only wants to overthrow the Zezhou officialdom, but he may also
I want to bring Li Lin down as well."
"then what should we do?"
"let me see."
Zhang Xutang's body is disobedient, but his mind is still so bright. The more he is like this, the more he will make trouble. Bad ideas come one after another. If bad ideas have a shape, it must be that his hair has turned into a poisonous snake.
He hissed and stuck out his tongue at Zhang Xuling.
"Come here and I'll tell you."
Zhang Xuling put her ear to Zhang Xutang's ear, thinking that Zhang Xutang had something to tell Li Lin, but no, every word Zhang Xutang said had nothing to do with Li Lin, and there was not even a long speech. However, Zhang Xuling heard the end,
His eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that this was his younger brother.
His pity and affection for his younger brother disappeared in this moment. His younger brother had become an evil ghost from hell, and all he was left with was fear.
The evil ghost raised his head: "Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Then go to the capital hall and tell Dad that everything from now on will be done according to my words."
"good."
Zhang Xu walked forward without hesitation, and when he reached the threshold, he didn't pay attention to his steps, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.
"Brother, are you okay?" Zhang Xutang's concerned voice came over.
"fine."
Zhang Xuling walked out without looking back, thinking that if Zhang Xutang could abandon so many people today, would he also abandon himself when the day comes?
Will.
Zhang Xutang didn't care about Zhang Xuling's sensitive and delicate emotions. In his eyes, the battle with King Jin was beginning a long prologue.
Song Huiyue will become a heartbroken person in this fight.
When Deng Wen beat the drum, the whole court was shaken.
Today, I personally inquired and learned that the Yechang did not bury just a few people like King Jin and Xu Laiyu, but more than 400 people. So far, no one has collected the corpses, and no more compensation has been provided. The entire Zezhou has deceived the superiors and subordinates, and even set up a
After many checkpoints were entered and no exit allowed, Long Wei was furious and immediately sent envoys to inspect.
Li Lin, the deputy envoy of Yantie, looked solemn and sent a greeting card to the Zhang family. However, he learned that both Prime Minister Zhang and the uncle of the Zhang family were still in the house. Only Zhang Yamen, who was accidentally injured, was in the Zhang family. The young lady of the Yue family was in the Zhang family.
He could only give up the visit.
Yue Huaiyu didn't want to see Zhang Xutang at all, but she had to come. Standing in front of Zhang Xutang, she said a few words of concern perfunctorily, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yue immediately laughed.
She couldn't laugh.
Originally, she just didn't want to marry Zhang Xutang, but now she learned from Yue Zhongtai that Zezhou was Zhang Xutang's handiwork. Looking at this man again, she felt disgusted and afraid.
She has never seen a worse person than Zhang Xutang, who regards other people's lives as nothing but trivial matters. However, everyone thinks he is good and feels that he has to be so bad for the sake of the noble concubine and King Yan.
Zhang Xutang is sitting in a folding back chair. The chair is square and wide. On the back is a soft pillow of golden pheasant with exquisite embroidery. There is an auspicious cloud pattern cotton blanket under the buttocks. On the footrest is a blue background landscape blanket with flowers.
wrapped Zhang Xutang in it.
He also looked extraordinarily fragile among the flowers, as if he were a fragile glass object that would break if touched.
However, he was not really fragile. He looked at Yue Huaiyu with poisonous eyes. What he saw was not a little girl, but the entire Yue family.
He smiled affectionately at Yue Huaiyu: "I will take you to see my glass house."
Yue Huaiyu didn't dare to go: "You can't move, so don't move..."
Zhang Xutang interrupted her: "It's okay, I'll let Lao Wei carry me on his back."
Yue Huaiyu felt uneasy and was about to think of another way to refuse, but Mrs. Yue agreed for her: "Oh, these two guys are still looking at the glass house holding hands like they were when they were children."
"Yes, it's not that big in the first place," Mrs. Zhang also laughed, "Go ahead, it's cold outside, so bring a hand stove."
Having said this, Yue Huaiyu had to bite the bullet and go to see the glass house with Zhang Xutang. At the same time, he secretly recalled in his mind when he and Zhang Xutang had walked hand in hand.
If so, be sure to wash your hands well when you go back.
While she was thinking wildly, Zhang Xutang suddenly asked her in a low voice: "Do you love Prince Jin?"
Yue Huaiyu thought he had heard wrongly. He looked around and found that all the maids and grandmothers around him were lagging behind. The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Xutang.
Zhang Xutang lay on Lao Wei's back and looked at Yue Huaiyu with a half-smile: "You love Prince Jin, I know, you can't hide it from me."
