Chapter 3: Goodbye Zhang Yan (2)

Seeing Zihe walking away, Zhang Yan pulled her father down with dissatisfaction, widened her eyes and asked anxiously: "Dad, what's going on? Why did Yujian suddenly enter Beijing?"

Zhang Guoji only thought that his daughter had a relationship with this uncle, and he had never thought too much about his family affection and replied in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor ordered him to enter the capital."

"Emperor?" Zhang Yan frowned and said, "This birthday has not arrived yet, why did the emperor suddenly issue an order to let him enter Beijing?"

"I don't know this as a father. As soon as King Xin arrived in the capital, he moved into the original King Xin Mansion. He was waiting for the emperor to summon him, but he knew that he was suddenly surrounded by Jinyiwei. People inside risked their lives to spread news that King Xin was already under house arrest by Wei Zhongxian in King Xin Mansion." Zhang Guoji hurried to the palace to meet Zhang Yan.

"Also, yesterday, Prince Xin angrily blamed Shi Forty, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei in the mansion. Maybe the capital city is already full of storms."

"What, Yujian is too reckless!" Zhang Yan said at the moment of hearing this. Wei Zhongxian was narrow-minded and the Jinyiwei was all his people. Isn't this equivalent to fighting against Wei Zhongxian? It's really an unwise move.

"It's useless to complain now. A mansion came to the mansion, saying that the house arrest of the prince might be Wei Zhongxian falsely circulating the imperial edict, so I hope my daughter can help let the emperor know the matter, so that the house arrest of the prince of Xin may be lifted." Zhang Guoji knew that from the case of deposing the queen to falsely accusing him of rebellion, he was holding the prince of Xin Zhu Youjian. Everyone was on the same boat. One was alone in the palace and the other was alone outside the palace, so it was necessary to support each other. Without the prince of Xin, the father and daughter may not know that there was a woman who could be fatal at any time lurking around them.

"Did Yujian ask me how to help him?" Zhang Yan didn't think about anything else at all and asked directly.

"The person who believed in the prince didn't say it, just asked my father to tell you the news." Zhang Guoji coughed twice. He thought that his hearing was not as good as before when he was old, but his ears were becoming more and more sensitive. Within a few dozen steps, he had already heard Zihe's familiar footsteps.

It doesn't matter, but he cares about it. When Zhang Yan heard the news that Wang Xin was under house arrest in Beijing, she started to be confused. If my father hadn't reminded herself with a cough, she would have almost couldn't stop asking. When she heard Zihe's footsteps getting closer and closer, she hurriedly sat upright and restored her calmness.

"Dad, it will be Double Ninth Festival in three days. This year, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in good blooming. You must come to accompany your daughter to drink and enjoy the chrysanthemums. Old Concubine Liu also wants to see you." Zhang Yan suddenly said anxiously.

"Thank you, Empress, I will definitely come." Zhang Guoji hurriedly agreed.

"Dad, my daughter has to eat the Chongyang cake you make every year. Don't forget to bring a little more on the Double Ninth Festival. I'm afraid that some old concubines have never eaten the Chongyang cake you make yet."

"Don't worry, Empress, I will definitely bring more that day." Zhang Guoji said excitedly.

"Report to the queen, I have taken the sable fur." ​​Zihe stopped outside the bead curtain for a while, then opened the bead curtain and walked in, walked to Zhang Yan, knelt down and lifted the sable fur.

"Dad, just accept it!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" Zhang Guoji knelt down and took the fur, tears flowing across the road.

Zhang Yan's eyes turned red, she turned around and waved her hand and said, "Zihe, I'll send my father to you on behalf of me."

With Zihe's support, Zhang Guoji trembled out of Kunning Palace.

If waiting is a torture, it is true that Zhu Yinglong was in a torment at this moment. Although he showed confidence in front of Xiong Hu and Shi Kefa, the one who had the least confidence was probably himself. He was not sure whether Zhou Huaian could definitely pass his situation to the queen Zhang Yan through Zhang Guoji, and he didn't know how Zhang Yan would help him after he knew it. Everything depends on how Zhang Yan adapted to the situation. The only thing that made him a little confident was the square jade pendant on his chest. I wonder if this love changed with his departure for a year, and could this beauty with a lot of fate help him?

The taste was just chewing wax. The three of them, including Wang Chengen, had no intention of eating. No matter how comfortable Zhu Yinglong squeezed out, they could not change everyone's heavy mood. Fortunately, everyone's emotions were still stable and there was no uneasy or impatient phenomenon.

Xinyuan Teahouse is the best time for business in the morning.

"I heard that, a deputy commander named Zuo from the Jinyiwei was beaten by someone!"

"What? Are there anyone who dares to mess with the Jinyiwei these days?" Another tea chef said obviously disbelievingly.

"You don't know. I heard that the King of Xin, who was married last year, returned to Beijing. Do you still remember the scene of the wedding? That's called Big..."

"Oh, man, I heard that Prince Xin was placed under house arrest by the emperor as soon as he returned to Beijing."

"You don't know this brother. The deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Shi Zuo, was offended by Prince Xin and was beaten so hard that he couldn't get up. This time I heard that it might take several months to get out of bed!"

"Brother, what's wrong with this time? Has this Lord Zuo been beaten before?" A tea chef came in curiously.

"Of course, this is a secret. A year ago, when Lord Zuo was still a thousand households, he accidentally came to Prince Xin's hands and asked Prince Xin to give his orders and let his subordinates beat twenty big boards and failed to get out of bed for half a month!"

"Really, how did you guy know."

"My cousin is on the job at the Jinyiwei, he told me!" the teacook said proudly.

"Then how much did Prince Xin beat this Lord Zuo this time?" The good people gathered around and asked in a verbal way.

"I don't know, my cousin refused to say it. I came back from secretly hearing the news from another place." The man just spoke with a bitter face.

"Who is here to discuss the imperial court's orders? You will all be caught in the prison of the Fushishi Department!" The crowd of people were so full of chatter that they were smearing. Suddenly, more than a dozen red soap clothes and black cloaks and Jinyiwei came up. After hearing these people's discussion, the faces became clearer and clearer. Only a few people and Jinyiwei knew about Zuo Changqing being beaten forty boards in the Xinwang Mansion. Why is it spread all over the street now? Although Zuo Changqing is not very good, he is still their boss after all, and there are also them.

Glad was gloating, but the rumors were so bad. They had a bad reputation, but now they were even more foul. How could they not annoy them? Moreover, the superiors ordered that the matter be leaked out. Now that the city was full of storms, the brothers present and the brothers who knew about it were going to be unlucky that day, so they were in a very bad mood. With a loud shout, the troublesome tea guests saw their fierce appearance, frightened them and blew them up like birds and beasts scattered, leaving the tea money and running out, and they left in an instant.

"Brother Zhou, I envy you so much. You don't have to be angry every day, and you are not afraid of being stabbed by the people!" Zhou Huaian Road, who walked out to greet him.

"Brother Chang is joking. My teahouse is still relying on all my brothers, otherwise I would have gone to drink the northwest wind with my ability." Zhou Huaian walked up to clean up the tea money left by the group of people just now.

"Brother Zhou is too modest. I am afraid that I can't afford to eat the Jinyiwei brother. Alas, this is the work that people did at that time. By the way, do you have wine here, Brother Zhou?" The households in Chang complained first and then asked.

"Look at what Brother Chang said, I am a teahouse here. I want tea, and I guarantee that it is only a little worse than the one the emperor in the palace drinks. As for wine, there is nothing I can do about it." Zhou Huaian said with a smile.

"You, your mouth is getting more and more vocal, it's a bit like a profiteer. Okay, come to Hulongjing for me. After walking for most of the day, my throat was smoking." The Baihu surnamed Chang called a group of brothers under his command and sat down and said.

"Okay, Brother Chang, please wait. I'll treat your tea money today!" Zhou Huaian slapped his chest and smiled and ordered.

This scene was not only performed in one Xinyuan teahouse, but similar scenes occurred in the teahouses in Beijing. In less than half a day, Shi Zuo Changqing, deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, asked the newly returned to Beijing to fight the matter spread throughout the four nine cities, and all kinds of versions were available. Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he broke three blue and white porcelain tea cups from the official kilns. They were all from the Taizu period, and each one was worth dozens of taels of silver. Afterwards, he was so distressed that he shuddered. He did not have the emperor's imperial edict from the house arrest, but did it by himself. After such a fuss, everyone in the world knew about it.

What's so bad is that Emperor Tianqi suddenly sent someone to summon him at this moment. He thought it was just a routine summon, so he didn't care. When he arrived at the western warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, he not only saw Emperor Tianqi lying on the soft ground, but also saw the eunuch of the Sili, Wang Tiqian, who was frosty and standing pretty, the queen Zhang Yan.

In front of Emperor Apocalypse, even if he didn't take the queen seriously, he had to go forward and bow down.

Emperor Tianqi's face was not very good, which was different from what I had seen before. Wei Zhongxian stepped forward carefully and said, "What's the point of getting up suddenly by the emperor?"

"Queen, come and ask." Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Heaven, who was lying on the couch, suddenly closed his eyes slowly and transferred all the right to ask to Queen Zhang Yan.

"Wei Zhongxian, I ask you, what happened to Wang Xin suddenly being under house arrest after returning to Beijing?" Zhang Yan asked straight to the point without hesitation.

"Empress, it is indeed the meaning of a slave." Wei Zhongxian admitted calmly without fear at all.

"What crime did King Xin commit?"

"Building a villa beyond the system is suspected of treason!"

"Can there be evidence?"

"Not yet. I have already asked someone else to check it out." Wei Zhongxian said with fearlessness.

"That means there is no evidence. There is no evidence. Who gives you the power to be under house arrest and thinks it is the prince?" Zhang Yan asked sternly.

"The emperor appointed the Prime Minister to make the government affairs. The power of the slave was given by the emperor. Does the empress think that the emperor does not have this power?" Wei Zhongxian turned back and said.

"But do you know that the prince must make a crime and the emperor must personally issue an order to ruling. This is determined by the ancestors' laws. Is this also your power?" Zhang Yan scolded angrily.

"I dare not. This matter should have been reported to the emperor for a long time, but I suddenly saw something that happened yesterday afternoon and was delayed. I didn't want to disturb the emperor's rest late at night, so I didn't have time to report to the emperor." Wei Zhongxian said bypassing the problem.

Zhang Yan was anxious and secretly shouted, "Wei Zhongxian must have said that Youjian beat the deputy commander Shi, who was named Zuo. She was too excited and forgot to tell the matter to the emperor, but how could she know everything outside the palace well? It can be said that she even knew it but couldn't say it. She secretly hated Zhu Youjian for being too reckless, making her so passive now.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Emperor Tianqi opened his eyes and said with a clear expression.

"This is the thing..." Wei Zhongxian told the truth about the matter one by one. He did not add fuel to the fire. He knew that adding things was useless, so that he could tell the truth, so that he could win the emperor's trust and demonstrate his selflessness.

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi slapped the table a few times and said angrily: "This Zuo Changqing deserves to be beaten. It's so rude to my brothers. Forty big boards are considered light."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely punish this Zuo Changqing who is not distinguished from the superiority and inferiority after I go back." Wei Zhongxian hurriedly echoed.

"Okay, since there is no actual evidence yet, there is no need to be house arrest. I haven't seen you for a year. You can send someone to summon him to the palace to see me." Emperor Tianqi seemed unwilling to say more, and after that, he closed his eyes.

"Yes, my master, I obey the order!" Wei Zhongxian secretly hated, knowing that someone had secretly informed the Queen Zhang Yan, otherwise how could the emperor know about this? He was thinking more and more that he wanted to get rid of Queen Zhang Yan. This woman was really too hindered.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. Can you please let me meet you after you meet me?" Zhang Yan was overjoyed when she heard this and knelt down and asked.

Emperor Tianqi thought for a long time before nodding slowly. Zhang Yan immediately showed a happy smile. After not seeing him for a year, I don’t know what the little enemy looks like now, whether he is tall or thin. Zhang Yan suddenly felt soft and finally could see the person who was worried about him. For a moment, he almost lost his composure in front of Emperor Tianqi.
