Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 521
The place where Xiaoqian lived used to be a palace, and now it is also a palace.Because Xiaoqian's son and the current emperor are brothers, he is the prince.

And Zhang Wei's old father lived in another Taigong's mansion.

Suddenly, a maid came in a hurry and said to Xiaoqian: "Madam, someone from the palace has come, please come to the palace for a chat." Xiaoqian heard the maid's words, and immediately said to her son, "Okay, little one. Bao, wait and see your emperor brother."

Her son Zhang Xiaobao immediately said happily, "It's great to see my brother again!" The two brothers are not very different in age and have a good relationship.

As soon as the two people who were playing chess in the distance heard that Xiaoqian was going out, the man in white immediately said, "No more! Zuo surrenders!" With his ability, he was not just a small thousand household back then!
Compared with playing chess, he prefers practicing sword riding and drinking.

He packed up, took his long knife, followed Xiaoqian, and went to the palace together.

And when the man saw Zuo Qianhu leave, he also turned into a little fox, jumped lightly, and disappeared into the yard.

This person is naturally the Fox Immortal Long Live Fox King.He turned into a little fox, appeared in the palace, and then came to a courtyard with ease, jumped up to a high attic, and then lay down in a hammock to rest.

The hammock swayed gently, and he also said softly: "Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei, you are back!"

In the palace, Chen Zhirui and Xiaoqian met.The little emperor and his brother ran off to play, and the two women were in the garden, chatting.

Over the years, the two of them have often met like this.After Chen Zhirui and the four fox spirits broke up, Xiaoqian was in a dilemma.It was not easy for her to follow the four fox spirits to Tianmen County, so she had to stay in the capital to accompany Chen Zhirui.

Otherwise, it would be too bad for her to let Chen Zhirui stay in the capital alone.Since Zhang Wei disappeared, Xiao Qian, who was the most carefree, also began to deliberately maintain this home without a man.

Several women were originally linked by Zhang Wei, but now that the bond has disappeared, their irreconcilable contradictions will naturally erupt.

Chen Zhirui looked at the flowers in the garden, sighed to Xiaoqian, and said, "He's back."

Xiaoqian naturally knew who she was talking about, so she nodded with a smile and said, "I've heard that too."

Chen Zhirui looked at this smiling sister, and sighed in her heart. It would be nice if she was as free and easy as she was.Among the women, only Xiao Qian has the purest mind.It can be said that she and Zhang Wei grew up together, and their feelings towards Zhang Wei are also the most sincere and pure.

The fact that others are with Zhang Wei is more or less because of some characteristics of Zhang Wei that attract them.And then slowly we like to be together.But Xiaoqian was different. When Zhang Wei was dying of illness, she never gave up.Therefore, whether Zhang Wei is poor or rich, great or humble, always ugly, she will never leave Zhang Wei.

When she first heard that Zhang Wei was back, Chen Zhirui knew it through a secret letter from the Zhang family. Her first reaction was, why didn't Zhang Wei come to her first!She will complain about it.She, Chen Zhirui, has never been a generous woman. Even if she is generous, she pretends to be.

Her generosity is because of her choices.If there is a choice, she will never share Zhang Wei!
She has worked so hard to manage this empire for Zhang Wei, which can be said to be exhausting.For, isn't it his dream?But even so, the first time he came back was not to look for her, but to meet those irresponsible vixens...

Thinking of this, she is like a bitter woman.

Today, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she wanted to find Xiaoqian to complain to her.But seeing Xiaoqian's happy appearance, she felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.Are you being too narrow-minded!

So, she said very cautiously: "Xiaoqian, he came back, and he didn't look for you immediately, but was with Ju Bai and the others. Would you be a little angry?"

After hearing what she said, Xiaoqian said a little strangely: "Why should I be angry? The elder sisters went to find him conveniently, so they naturally went to find him. I also couldn't leave, otherwise I would fly to find him too." She said with a smile, not hiding her feelings at all.

"..." Chen Zhirui was silent for a while, the girl in front of her didn't understand jealousy and prudence at all!So she smiled and said, "it's not too late for you to find him now. Xiaobao can stay with me and I'll take him."

"No need, I heard that he is coming to the capital. I'll just wait for him at home." Xiaoqian said with a smile.

This heartless girl!How could there be such a person in the world!Chen Zhirui sighed inwardly, couldn't help grabbing her hand, and said, "Sister, I finally know why he likes you so much!"

When Chen Zhirui said this, Xiaoqian felt a little embarrassed, she smiled shyly, and said, "No way, he obviously likes some older sisters more."

Chen Zhirui covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Why would he like me more..." There was a bit of desolation and self-deprecation in her tone.

"Yes, the young master once told me that he owes you a lot, and he has always asked me to treat you well." Xiaoqian said seriously.

Listening to Xiaoqian's words, Chen Zhirui still didn't say anything in the end...

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

The two women were chatting inside the palace, while outside the palace, Di Li sat on the head with an expressionless face, listening to what a group of officials were saying with sad faces.

"Why did Zhang Wei come back? Didn't you say he died?"

"Yeah, it's too... Now that he's really back, what should we do?"

"Zhang Wei is too kind to ordinary people, and he doesn't pay attention to the mainstay like us. If he really comes back, it's really a country with no country, and people are miserable!"

These officials are talking more and more exaggeratedly, as if the sky is about to fall in the next moment.For them in the world, it really is no different from the sky falling.

We can share adversity, but we cannot share wealth.This is the portrayal of these officials.Ten years ago, they helped Zhang Wei stabilize the people and stabilize the place.If you have money, you will contribute money, and if you are strong, you will contribute.

Back then, they were the most powerful against the local gentry and local tyrants, but now, they stand firmly with the local gentry and local tyrants.Because they are now gradually becoming squires and local tyrants!

Take the Di family as an example. They are a well-known powerful family in the Guanzhong area. They have tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, countless livestock, pastures and tenants in Taiyuan Prefecture.They are the largest landlords in Taiyuan Prefecture.

According to Zhang Wei's policy, big landlords like them should gradually withdraw from the land and invest money in mining, trade, manufacturing, textiles, etc.

Ridiculous, the value of these things fluctuates greatly, how can farming be safe!When cloth is expensive, you don't need to buy clothes, just wear old ones.But when food is expensive, can people not eat it?

The vast majority still believe in the land, not in workshops.You can invest some money in workshops and trade, but if you want to use them as the foundation of the family, that is absolutely impossible!
Only the land, and only the land is the foundation passed down from generation to generation, the wealth that will never depreciate!

And Zhang Wei wants to withdraw the foundation of their past events, how is this possible?

Di Li, who was sitting at the top, saw this scene, but he remembered what his friend Cao Bin said before he died.

"Zhang Wei's policy is a policy of eternal peace. Land, only in the hands of the people, is the foundation of the court's stability! Di Li, after I die, you must not be fooled by other people and break the foundation of this eternity!"

He, Di Li, is not a fool, so he can naturally see that Zhang Wei's policy is the goal that their reformers most want to achieve.However, when relatives in the family came to lobby one by one, even his own son wanted to draw boundaries with himself.

He finally gave in!Reformers are people too!If you are a person, you will be controlled by seven emotions and six desires.In the end, it will be lost to the family.His Di family's hundreds of years of foundation cannot be abandoned in his hands!

So, after Cao Bin's death, he took over the position of the first assistant minister in Chen Zhirui's expectation, but he publicly sang against Chen Zhirui and began to reverse the policy of the court!

He wooed those conservatives, and began to target the newcomers and new factions in the court. Those who were promoted from the factory and only engaged in technology, where their opponents were, they were all sent down to the local areas to become factory managers. Became their conservative position.

As long as, as long as the final Chen Zhirui is resolved, then the little emperor is not at their mercy, and the world will return to its original state...

It's just that Zhang Wei is back!

After thinking about it, Di Li fell into a trance.Suddenly, an official beside him woke him up.

"Old Di Ge, old Di Ge! Tell me what we are going to do now? We can't just watch the court persecute us..."

Before he finished speaking, Di Li sneered and stood up.

"What can we do? In terms of fame, he Zhang Wei is the founder of the country. With a moment of arm, the world responds. In terms of strength, he was capable of defeating the demon king of the demon race. Wen, we can't fight, Wu, we can't fight What else can I do? Stay at home and wait to die!"

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves vigorously, and walked into the back hall angrily.

If...if it wasn't for the family members forcing each other to death!He definitely will not go to such a point!Di Li now has only one thought in his mind.

The next day, Di Li, who was in his prime, made a petition to the Empress Dowager Chen Zhirui, who was listening to the government behind the curtain, begging to return home.

As soon as his words came out, the entire court was in an uproar.The empress dowager hadn't spoken out to persuade her to stay, but the officials below went beyond the norm and shouted out.

"Old Dige, you can't leave!"

"You are gone, what will the court do!"

"Yeah, there are still many matters in this court that need your control!"

The people in the courtroom became anxious all of a sudden. This old man has been arrogant until now. Is this what people do?

Chen Zhirui, who was sitting behind the curtain, also snorted coldly, thinking in her heart, "I had hope for you back then, and my uncle recommended you to me before he died, but I never thought that you were a white-eyed wolf who bullied our orphans and widowed mothers after taking power. When your husband comes back, you want to tell the old man to return to your hometown, how can there be such a cheap good thing!"

So she coughed lightly, and said lightly: "Mr. Di Ge was joking, you are only in your 50s, and you are in your prime. Isn't it a joke to retire from your old age and return to your hometown? Besides, if I allow it, this outsider will listen to you Don’t you mistakenly think that this palace excludes dissidents.”

Chen Zhirui paused, and said: "So, this matter cannot be approved by the palace. You should continue to be your chief minister."

The ten-year-old Zhang Yi also nodded on the dragon chair and followed his mother's words: "Yes, Di Aiqing definitely don't say such things. She is still young and needs Aiqing's assistance."

Hearing the mother and son's answer in harmony, Di Li smiled wryly in his heart.In this world, villains and women are the only ones who are difficult to raise, and now he has offended a villain (child) and a woman!
Chen Zhirui would not allow Di Li to leave. If she had said nothing earlier, she would have given permission immediately.Throw the person who betrayed her far away.

But now, her husband is about to come back, and her backbone is about to arrive, how could she let this fellow Jin Chan escape!Let you bully us, and let the husband deal with you when we turn back!

She, Chen Zhirui, has never been a broad-minded woman!

Di Li failed to report his old age and returned home. After retiring from the imperial court, he went home alone, ignoring anyone who spoke to him.The direction of the wind in the hall changed instantly.

The frustrated new officials celebrated with each other, while the arrogant conservative officials trembled.

Finally, in the spotlight, Zhang Wei's team finally came to the capital!

The people of the capital thank Zhang Wei from the bottom of their hearts, because it was Zhang Wei who saved them back then!When Zhang Wei came back again, the loyal Beijing people immediately held a grand welcome ceremony.

The flowers are spread on the ground, which is as long as ten miles, and the red silk circles the street for ten thousand feet.The ten-mile-long street is empty and clean, and the road is blocked by thousands of people.

Zhang Wei walked into the capital just in the midst of such excitement!
Xiaoqian took her son Xiaobao and stood at the head of the crowd to greet Zhang Wei, while Chen Zhirui took her son Zhang Yi to greet Zhang Wei in front of Miyagi.

The ten-year-old Xiaobao has never seen such a fight, he has been holding his mother's hand and dare not let go, facing this huge crowd of people, the sound of drums and drums.His little head was full of nervousness and doubts.

Who is this man called 'Father'?

Not long after, Zhang Wei came to meet him.Xiaoqian took Xiaobao's hand and rushed forward.Little Treasure was like a marionette, he was pulled over in one fell swoop.

Then he saw his mother and a man weeping in each other's arms. At this moment, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.This man actually made his mother cry!
He was about to push Zhang Wei away immediately, and shouted: "Mom, don't cry! I'll beat him for you!"

Zhang Wei and Xiaoqian were taken aback for a moment, then Zhang Wei hugged the son who had never been masked, and said, "Sure enough, he is a man, he just has a responsibility!"

After speaking, Zhang Wei kissed his son.

This time, Little Treasure was completely confused again!

The family, He Meimei, walked happily in the capital, constantly greeting the people on the street, and the people were happy.

In this way, Zhang Wei and the others walked for an hour before reaching the front of Miyagi, where they saw Chen Zhirui and Zhang Yi!
