When the smell in the room dissipated, King Jin said: "Now is not the time to take action. Wait a minute. Li Lin's things are being checked. After finding out the clues, they will be handed over directly to the Imperial Army, who will present them to Jin Shang. Let Jin Shang
Thorough investigation.”
Xie Zhou asked in a low voice: "Will we investigate today?"
The King of Jin smiled and said: "I will check it out. What I hate most today is that others covet his things, but he can't hold on to them."
However, the features he mentioned never appeared.
Li Jun hid in the Song family like a quail. When Song Huiyue went to the tea house, he also went to the tea house. When Song Huiyue came home, he also returned home, becoming Song Huiyue's follower.
But Zhang Xutang did not trouble him again.
The days have been peaceful until the Dragon Boat Festival, May 20th is my birthday, also known as Tianning Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is originally an evil month, and there is a saying that "the birth date is unknown, the male will harm the father, the daughter will harm the mother, and the elder will be in the same household, which will be detrimental to the parents." When the emperor ascended the throne, Si Tianjian once proposed that the birthday of the emperor should be changed to
In October, Queen Mother Pei refused.
She said that I am the true Dragon Emperor, so why should I be afraid of the evil moon? I am wise and holy, and the jade sky is clear. There is nothing wrong with me. My birth date has not changed.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the weather has warmed up, and the heavy winter clothes have finally been taken off. The pier is a bit more lively than usual, and the official ships are crowded and bustling. On board are the tributes for today's Tianning Festival, as well as tributes from various provinces.
Everyone rush to Beijing before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise they will miss the festival and lose their sincerity in their filial piety.
As for whom to honor, only they themselves know.
The river has not yet been dredged, and the water is both deep and shallow. In order to get into the dock as early as possible, everyone is rushing to run deeper into the water. The closer to the dock, the faster they have to go so that the fresh goods on the boat can be disembarked faster.
So near the dock, everyone reported their family status, and the junior officials gave way to the senior officials, which became a strange sight.
Among them were two weaving bureaus in Shuzhou and Suzhou. These two families had not dealt with each other for a long time. When enemies met, they became extremely jealous.
Suzhou weaves Song brocade, Jinling Yun brocade is world-famous, Shuzhou weaves Shu brocade, and Xincheng Zhuang brocade is still famous outside, and they are all enshrined in the palace. However, according to the preferences of the nobles, these four brocades either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
Now that they met on the water, and they were fighting for a ten-foot-long space, the officer holding the brocade wished he could roll up his sleeves and push the other person into the water.
The officer in charge of Shuzhou loudly said: "Open your eyes and take a look. The things on this boat are all Shu brocades. The empress in the palace is waiting to use them. If it's too late, you can't afford to pay!"
The Suzhou prison officer poked the Shuzhou ship with a pole and said, "Bah! Our Song brocades are all used by the empress, which shows how noble you are!"
"Hey, you are still weaving Song brocade!" Shuzhou's prison officer laughed at his subordinates, "Why did I hear that they are weaving gold brocade now! It must have blinded several pairs of eyes!"
Amid a burst of laughter, the Suzhou prison officer scolded: "Don't you need to weave the gold brocade at the court stall? Stop pretending to be noble here!"
"We have knitted, but we have not blinded our eyes. The silver material of yours must have hurt your eyes!"
"You damn slanderers, you're the one who makes your eyes hurt with the silver! We've lost several boatloads of gold and silver!" the Suzhou prison officer continued to poke with the pole.
"fart!"
Each of the two boats began to fart in a smoky atmosphere, and poked at them randomly with their poles. The hulls of the boats made a loud noise when they were poked. Suddenly, while they were making a fuss, all the boats behind them panicked and raised their poles to move to both sides.
.
The two boats of the Weaving Department also stopped, each frowned and thought. Seeing that the boats behind them also had lanterns from the "Transfer Department", they all moved out of the way. They also quickly ordered their own boats to be pushed open to make way for a wide waterway.
.
On the vast water, two lucky boats sailed in. A string of red lanterns hung high on the mast of the boat. Only when the boat got closer did they see the fonts on the lanterns clearly.
"Guangnan East Road", "Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department", "Guangnan West Road", "Promotion and Changping Department".
Although the name of the Zhang family is not on it, everyone knows that Liangguang Road and the Zhang family are on the same side. Last year, because of the tax and bank case in Liangguang Road, several major supervisors and magistrates asked Jinshang to be dismissed from their posts for investigation, and Zhang was brought down.
Pai took the opportunity to stuff in his own men.
Two large ships came in a mighty manner, and it was not known whether they were from the Zhang sect or the Zhang sect. If they were from the Zhang sect, then the prosperous Liangguang Road would still be in the hands of the Zhang family.
Under scorching eyes, the two ships sailed into the pier as if there was no one around. All the ships that were unloading cargo on the pier were pushed open to make way for them.
Although there is no Zhang family name, the Zhang family invisibly controls everything on the dock, and even the boats on Liang-Guang Road receive special treatment.
When the ship docked, the people on the ship put down the shipboard with serious faces. Immediately, the powerful men came forward and stood on both sides. They only waited for the gentlemen on the ship to disembark, and they immediately started unloading the goods without any delay.
.
A group of people came down from the first boat, surrounded by people. This person's name was Yuan Ye, and he was an aide to Zheng Tuo, the new commander of Guangdong South Road. He was ordered to send the birthday card of Liangguang Road to Kyoto.
Yuan Ye glanced at the bustling capital city pier and burst into laughter: "Kyoto is better."
The person serving him next to him smiled and said: "No, at the feet of the emperor."
Yuan Ye chuckled again, but this time he was speechless. He just thought in his heart: "He is also at the feet of the Zhang family."
He was in a high mood, but he did not go to see Zhang Mansion right away. Instead, he went to settle down in the house he bought in Kyoto and tidied himself up properly. When he found out that Prime Minister Zhang had gone to the capital, so had the uncle of the Zhang family.
After checking the room, I went to Zhang's house with my name card and handed it in through the front door.
After waiting at the door for only a moment, Zhang Xuling personally came out to welcome him.
Yuan Ye was about to kneel down when he saw him. Zhang Xuling quickly supported him hard: "Don't see anyone else, come in quickly! Why are you here in person?"
"Uncle!" Yuan Ye stood up straight excitedly, "I haven't seen the uncle for many years, and the uncle is becoming more and more stable!"
Zhang Xuling saw that his eyes were red with excitement and couldn't help but smile: "You are the only one who still thinks about me."
"I have never forgotten my uncle for a day. If I hadn't taken him in, I wouldn't be where I am now."
Zhang Xuling led him to the study: "Don't talk about taking me in. You have the ability. No commander can shake you."
It was already getting late, and lights were lit early in Zhang's house to illuminate the path. The flowers and trees on the roadside made the corridor appear deep and long, but in fact it was a very short distance, so short that Zhang Xuling and Yuan Ye had already arrived before they had time to reminisce.
When he arrived at the door of the study, Yuan Ye took off his cloak and carefully handed it to the servant who was following him. He dusted off his robe vigorously. The dark green robe was new and embroidered with several green bamboos. Together with his men, he looked very vigorous.
He held the soap gauze gusseted kerchief on his head and walked in solemnly. When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Rui.
The lights in the room were brightly lit. Zhang Rui looked much older, but he was still in good spirits. There was a plate of rice dumplings in front of him and a book in his hand. When he saw Yuan Ye come in, he put the book in his hand on the table and looked at Yuan Ye.
