I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 283
No matter what Zhang Yiyi has done, she is Yang Xu's mother after all, the one who gave birth to him after passing through the gate of hell in ten months of pregnancy.

"Master Zhang, there is no such thing as a parent in the world. I hope Master Zhang will be cautious in his words and deeds, otherwise Xu'er will definitely avenge his mother in the future." Yang Shoucheng's voice was low and firm, and he looked at the shocked Zhang Minxian coldly. It is an exhortation but more of a warning.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the tea. Mr. Yang is leaving." Yang Shoucheng stood up. The reason why he came here was to prevent the Zhang family from doing something they shouldn't do.

He didn't care about Mrs. Zhang and Marquis Zhenbian as much as the outside world thought. Besides, she gave birth to Xu'er, and Yang Shoucheng would rather she live and live well.

It wasn't until the door of the private room was closed that Zhang Minxian came back to his senses. The look on his thin face was particularly ugly. He originally wanted to use this to repair the relationship with the Yang family, but it seemed that this way would not work.

Lobby.

"Uncle Yang." Surprise flashed in Zhan Feiyu's eyes, and the conversation ended in less than a quarter of an hour. It seemed that Uncle Yang had no intention of interacting with the Zhang family.

He Nuan stood up, "I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring over another pot of tea."

The longan tea in the teapot is blood-enriching and qi-enriching. It's sweet, and it's really not suitable for Yang Shoucheng, a taciturn general.

"Do you know why the Zhang family came here?" Yang Shoucheng said in a deep voice, but he was thinking about Zhan Feiyu's school entrance examination. He knew the little girl's intelligence.

Zhang Minxian personally greeted Uncle Yang at the door, and his attitude was extremely respectful. Thinking of the previous investigation of Zhang Yiyi, Zhan Feiyu laughed, "It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil. It is to solve your worries, Uncle Yang."

Zhang Yiyi was imprisoned in the Xiangwu County cell, all forces in Longyou Dao were watching, there was no movement in the Marquis Mansion near the town, nor was there any movement in the Yang family, and instead of calm, people felt tense Danger.

Yang Shoucheng showed admiration on his face, no wonder Uncle Qiu wanted to compete with Gu Xueshi for his disciples, such a clever and quick-witted little girl is indeed admirable.

He Nuan brought another pot of tea over, and then retreated to stand not far away, not disturbing the conversation between Zhan Feiyu and Yang Shoucheng.

If there is no Yang Xu, Yang Shoucheng doesn't need to think too much, how should the Daqing law be sentenced, what will happen to the Zhang family, and now there is a hindrance of hitting a mouse and hurting a jade bottle.

Putting down the teacup, Yang Shoucheng asked, "Xiaoyu, you and Xu'er are about the same age, what do you think of Mrs. Zhang?"

You can't kill, but you can't let go, not to mention that Zhang still has eight lives on his back, and Yang Shoucheng is also worried that Zhang will pester Yang Xu after she is free. She is a smart, resourceful but jealous, selfish and greedy woman.

Not one or two years, but three to five years?One day, Mrs. Zhang will resolve the grudge in Xu'er's heart. Once she becomes Xu'er's legitimate mother, there will be endless troubles.

The sweetness of longan tea spread in the mouth, and after drinking a cup in the cold weather, the whole body was warm. Zhan Feiyu showed the token of Forbidden Dragon Guards and asked Dou Qianhu to order Zhang Yiyi to be arrested. Think about Zhang's follow-up questions.

After drinking two more sips of tea, Zhan Feiyu, who was finally satisfied, sat up straight, and his snow-white and tender face became serious because of his seriousness, "In my humble opinion, use the future exploits of Uncle Yang and Old General Yang in exchange for Mrs. Zhang's life. But capital crimes can be avoided, and life crimes cannot be escaped. Sending Zhang back to the Zhang family can be imprisoned in the family temple or in the Zhang mansion, but she can't take another step in this life. If the Zhang family failed to raise their daughter, the Zhang family will be responsible for guarding her. .”

Why did the Holy One indulge the enemy to frame the Yang family for collaborating with the enemy and treason? For the sake of military power, he was also worried about the great achievements of the Yang family. General Yang is already a top-ranking general.

Zhan Feiyu suggested that Yang Shoucheng and General Yang should write a letter to the sage, and use their future achievements to exchange Zhang's life. This is equivalent to carrying stains on the two of them. Home is better.

Yang Shoucheng and Old General Yang are not people who are greedy for fame and fortune, and the loss of reputation is not worth mentioning to them.

But on the other hand, the Holy Majesty will put down his guard. After all, Yang Xu is still young. When he grows up, it will take at least 20 years for him to reach the prestige of Old General Yang and the others, and such a long time is enough for the Holy Majesty to regain control of the military power of Longyou Dao .

After a long silence, Yang Shoucheng had no choice but to feel that the younger generation is awesome!If Xiaoyu were a man, he would definitely be an extremely human minister in the future, one man under one man and above ten thousand men.

"Little fish." Yang Shoucheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "If there is any change in the Yang family in the future, please take care of Xu'er, as long as the Yang family is useful, as long as it does not harm the people of the world, the Yang family will die! "

Gu Xueshi asked Zhan Feiyu to come to Xiangwu County to seek a guarantee for her, a strong backer, and at this moment, Yang Shoucheng finally made a promise.

Dazed for a moment, Zhan Feiyu quickly put down his cup and stood up, and solemnly replied with a stern face: "Uncle Yang is serious, but as long as I can, I will definitely save Yang Xu."

After making the same promise, Zhan Feiyu suddenly laughed, and his crisp voice was a bit teasing, "Actually, Yang Xu will definitely become the general who guards the side in at least 20 years. I think I need Yang Xu's help more."

Once he holds the military power, even the new emperor would not dare to attack Yang Xu.

Compared with the happy conversation between Zhan Feiyu and Yang Shoucheng in the lobby, in the private room on the second floor, looking downstairs through the gap in the window, Zhang Minhua looked solemnly, "Brother, what is the identity of that little girl, Yang Shoucheng?" The general is actually pleasant to her."

Zhan Feiyu was young and a little girl. Yang Shoucheng's attitude was too strange. Zhang Minhua recalled the day when Zhang Yiyi got married. He couldn't see the slightest bit of joy, and his expression was cold as if he was not the groom's official.

Such an iron-blooded general was so kind to a little girl, and even poured tea for her himself. The key point was that the two had a good chat.

When Zhang Yiyi returned home that day, Zhang Minhua remembered that Yang Shoucheng stayed at Zhang's house for a few hours and didn't say more than ten sentences, except for following the rules and shouting at others.

"Could it be an illegitimate daughter?" Zhang Minxian asked suddenly, recalling Zhan Feiyu's appearance, but he didn't have the slightest resemblance to Yang Shoucheng.

The corner of Zhang Minhua's mouth twitched, the elder brother's guess really made people speechless, "It can't be father and daughter, the little girl has no admiration in her expression, and Yang Shoucheng's attitude towards her is more like treating her peers."

This is where Zhang Minhua was surprised. Perhaps it was because the little girl had an extraordinary background that Yang Shoucheng was like this. Otherwise, why would the majestic and mighty general be so polite to a little girl.

"I'll send someone to investigate." Since Zhang Minxian came to Xiangwu County, he was naturally unwilling to return without success.

But when he thought of Yang Shoucheng's indifferent attitude, Zhang Minxian rubbed the center of his brows, his eyes were full of indelible solemnity, the Zhang family was considered a respectable official family in Linzhou Prefecture, and their in-laws had been in the officialdom for a long time.

But once the Yang family recovers, everyone will know that the Zhang family is Zhang Yiyi's natal family. When the Yang family had an accident, the Zhang family even got involved. Now even if the Yang family does not retaliate, the wind in the officialdom has changed. Those people want to curry favor with the general. The government will definitely attack the Zhang family, and the Zhang family will definitely struggle in the officialdom in the future. This is the "general trend".

"So General Yang really intends to spare Zhang Yiyi?" Zhang Minhua's expression was extremely complicated. He let go of the woman who betrayed him for the sake of his son. General Yang's mind is admirable. Zhang Yiyi has no eyes for such an upright and good man.

But thinking of Yang Shoucheng's reluctance to associate with the Zhang family, why didn't Zhang Minhua worry about her natal family's situation, that both prosperity and loss would even affect the Zhou family.

After a long silence, Zhang Minxian slammed his fist on the table so hard that the teapot and cups were shaken, "Mother shouldn't have let this scourge grow up back then!"

Zhang Yiyigao married into the General's Mansion, Zhang's family didn't get any benefits, but Zhang Yiyi used the name of the General's Mansion to suppress him a lot. After the Yang family's accident, Zhang Yiyi took refuge in the Zhenbianhou's Mansion.

She left immediately, but as the in-laws of the General's Mansion, the Zhang family was almost dragged into the vortex of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Although the Zhang family also escaped later, they were still in fear for the past few years. The Zhang family lived cautiously.

Now that the general's mansion is about to recover, the Zhang family is in a dilemma again. They are worried that the Yang family will retaliate, and they are also worried that their political enemies will deal with the Zhang family in order to please the Yang family.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Minxian wished that the time could be turned back to 30 years ago. He must have strangled the infant Zhang Yiyi to death, so as to save her from harming the Zhang family in the future.

……

This time Zhan Feiyu did not write back to the capital, but it was related to the military power of Longyou Dao, not to mention that all the families and princes in the palace sent spies to Longyou Dao and Xiangwu County. The secret agents of the Dragon Guard even mobilized the Dark Dragon Guard secretly.

The news from Xiangwu County was sent back to the palace one after another, and at this moment, under the bright light of the candle, the Holy One waved his hand to make Eunuch Liu step aside, and then he personally opened the secret letter sent by the Dark Dragon Guard.

After Mrs. Zhang was arrested and imprisoned, Xiangwu County had been quiet for several days. Now that he felt the thickness of the letter paper, the Holy One knew that something must have happened, so he unfolded the letter to read.

After a long while, the Holy Majesty couldn't help laughing, no wonder Qiu Zongxi came to beg for the life-saving grace back then, this little girl is really cute.

Eunuch Liu glanced at the saint sitting on the dragon chair calmly. From the perspective of outsiders, Eunuch Liu who was waiting quietly in the corner was like a stone pillar, without blinking his eyes.

The Holy Majesty put the letter paper on the candle and lit it, "Pass down my oral order to let Xueshi Gu enter the palace."

"Yes." Eunuch Liu replied, the palace gates were closed at this time, presumably something important happened in Longyou Dao, and it was a happy event.

Although the capital city is not as cold as Longyou Dao, it still freezes after nightfall, but the Holy Majesty's dictation, let alone the freezing weather, even if ice knives are thrown outside, Xueshi Gu has to rush to the palace immediately.

Half an hour later, Xuanhe Hall to the south of the Imperial Study Room.

"I called the old minister over in the middle of the night, and the Holy Majesty is planning to have a night talk with the old minister by candlelight?" After saluting, Gu Xueshi laughed and joked, and glanced at him, "The minister is really hungry, so I won't be polite to the Holy Majesty." .”

Eunuch Liu personally set the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and the rich aroma of the broth lingered. It was the holy majesty's favorite wonton noodles. There were seven or eight side dishes, plus soup, pastries, even The table for supper is packed with at least twenty or thirty items.

"My grand scholar is still short of a bite of food?" The Holy Majesty also laughed, and waved his hand to make all the eunuchs and maids who were serving him retreat, "Speaking of this wonton noodles, it's authentic Aiqing, but I haven't tasted it for a long time I have surpassed Aiqing's cooking skills."

The essence of the wonton noodles made by the royal chef is in this broth, including chicken, duck, fish, various seafood, and some medicinal materials to enhance the flavor. They are boiled over charcoal fire for three days, and finally the residue is removed, leaving only this fragrant white broth.

When Gu Xueshi was studying with Shengyou, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the two lived in a remote mountain village for a month.

There were no dumplings on the first day of the new year, so Gu Xueshi asked the women in the village, and finally made wonton noodles, and there was no boiled broth, so he put some dried mountain mushrooms.

The minced meat of the wontons was chopped by the Holy Majesty himself with a kitchen knife, and some Chinese cabbage stored in the cellar was added to the stuffing, and two eggs were beaten. It must be far worse than the tender and smooth meat stuffed by Yuchu. .

Eunuch Liu, who was standing not far away, looked at the monarchs and ministers who were eating and chatting, and once again sighed with emotion that Gu Xueshi has won the holy grace, and no one in the court can match it.

"One hundred thousand military power?" Rao Xueshi Gu was not surprised, but he was also stunned at this moment, and looked at the Holy One in surprise, "

Thanks to the little fish? "

The Holy Majesty smiled and nodded, "Little girl asked Yang Shoucheng to exchange Zhang's life with his future exploits..."

Since Xueshi Gu was summoned to the palace in the middle of the night, the Holy Majesty did not intend to hide it, and gave a general account of Zhang Yiyi's affairs. After all, the Holy Majesty was still a little worried about returning to the Yang family.

Back then, the Yang family was framed for collaborating with the enemy and treason. The Holy One knew that it was a false accusation, but he did not continue to investigate. Although the Yang family was spared the lives of the Yang family, they became criminals from a general who held military power. will retaliate.

However, the salt tax has a lot to do with it. The Holy Majesty does not trust other people, only the Yang family can use it. Fortunately, Zhan Feiyu persuaded the Yang family, and after Yang Shoucheng discussed with Old General Yang, the two were willing to hand over half of the military power.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to think about how to confer rewards. According to the old minister's judgment, that girl didn't think so far. She probably made this statement because of Yang Xu. After all, Mrs. Zhang was sent to prison by the little girl. If something goes wrong, the little girl is worried." Yang Xu will retaliate in the future, so it's better to sell her and let the Yang family remember her favor."

Although Gu Xueshi is far away in the capital, he has to exchange letters with Zhan Feiyu every few days. Not only does he know [-]% of Zhan Feiyu's actions, but he can at least guess [-]% or [-]%. Lucky hit.
